I finally look just how I feel...

Happy Halloween Eve all y'all!

Cumpleaños felices a mí!!!

Well, it was XX years ago that I popped outta the maternal maturation chamber. It's been an interesting ride to get to where I am for sure. Ups, downs, highs, lows, mountains, valleys.... call 'em whatcha want... but here I am.

So, I just definitely gotta say, Zombie Queen, Roommate, Princess, Nugget and a couple of others, thank you for turning not the greatest day into one of the best birthday's I can recall! I may not have everything I want in the life, but god damn! I have some fucking amazing friends in my life! I have an incredible family that I love (even if they drive me insane at times).

And to top it all off, I got a fucking 176 bowling tonight after yummy Cheesecake Factory! Again, to those friends who helped make this a great day.... THANK YOU!!! I <3 you all so very much!

What can I say.... it's the best of both worlds!

So, according to an article by John DeVore, women love vampires and men love zombies....

What can I say... maybe it's the gay in me, but dear god... I love zombies and vampires!

Here are just a few of my favorites (movies, books and characters)...

1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I know, not technically a vampire, but close enough)
2. Faith the Vampire Slayer
3. Spike
4. Angel
5. Shadow of the Vampire
6. Zombieland
7. Fido
8. Shaun of the Dead
9. 30 Days of Night
10. Interview with a Vampire
11. Queen of the Damned (more the book than the movie)
12. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (book)
13. Anita Blake and all of her vampires, zombies and wereanimals
14. Pandora (from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles)

Thank the gods for that FBO!

So last night I just watched the final episode (or 2 episodes depending on how you look at it) of Battlestar Galactica! Gotta say, love that show... as a friend put it once, it's kind of like Star Trek, but more flawed. Which I agree with, whole-heartedly. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Star Trek in all of it's many incarnations, but realistically, the people and their future are all a little too perfect. Now BSG, much more of a flawed reality. I can appreciate flaws, truly appreciate them...hehe!

So somehow I missed this... I don't think they are redoing the entire series, but they are retelling portions of it from the Cylon perspective... fuck yeah baby! And even better... it comes out TODAY!



Yes, I am a geek! I am a nerd. I am a dork. All of those titles that can be applied to those who like/love Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, and a plethora of other science fiction shit! I embrace it. I revel in it. It is a part of Flamingo. And yes, even though Flamingo is of the gay persuasion... he can truly appreciate the beauty of the Sixes (a.k.a. Tricia Helfer)

Just in time for Christmas...err....Halloween?

For those of you looking for that just so special gift for the zombie-lover in your life...

Hey! Hey! It is NOT a beauty pageant! It is a scholarship program

Just another note on President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize and all of the bullshit uproar it has caused...

Fucking grow up people! Seriously... I just read an article about how the jury who awarded President Obama the Nobel Peace Prize are now having to defend their decision...WTF???

"We simply disagree that he has done nothing," committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland told the AP on Tuesday. "He got the prize for what he has done."

Jagland singled out Obama's efforts to heal the divide between the West and the Muslim world and scale down a Bush-era proposal for an anti-missile shield in Europe.

I don't even know what to say really... it all just sounds like a bunch of little high school bitches who didn't win homecoming queen, so all they know how to do now is tear down the person who did win it! He's the President of the United States for hell's sake! Even if you don't agree with it, congratulate the man on the honor he has been awarded and move on.

Okay, and I'm done ranting and bitching about it now too!

Some people shouldn't be allowed out alone...AMEN!!!

I have some great friends... and sometimes I love the e-mails they send me. Especially the crazy right wing nut job emails. And it's even better when they send one like this one below that inadvertently bash their own crazies...

Greg just bought a new boat, and decided to take her for the maiden voyage. This was his first boat, and he wasn't quite sure of the correct procedure for launching it off a ramp, but figured it couldn't be too hard.
He consulted his local boat dealer for advice, but they just said "don't let the trailer get too deep when you are trying to launch the boat."
Well, he didn't know what they meant by that, as he could barely get the trailer in the water at all!
Anyhow, here's a picture below.

You Gotta Love This Guy!!!

Some people shouldn't be allowed out alone!
And remember: They live among us and they VOTE!!!!

When I got this, all I could think, was "yes, yes they do vote...they vote REPUBLICAN!"

Dear Mr. President

Dear President Obama,

Congratulations on your Nobel Peace Prize. And I really mean that. I honestly have no idea what goes into the selection and awarding of the Nobel Prizes, but I am sure it is done by men and women that are like a billion times smarter and more in touch with the world than I am. I fail to understand how this honor is being turned against you or why anyone would want to do that. Yes, I voted for you and for the most part I am very proud that I did. Could you do more on your campaign promises, yes, I believe you could. However, I understand that there are limitations on you even when working with a majority in both houses. As a gay man living as something of a second-class citizen, I truly wish you would move on many of the items you talked about in your campaign, such as repealing the DADT military policy, expanding federal benefits to same-sex couples, repealing DOMA and especially health care reform. Yes, you are making health care a priority...but there has to be more that can be done. There has to be a way to make it better. There has to be a way to keep what works and fix what is broken. So yes, I believe you have a lot of great works that are still in front of you that could be accomplished. But even still, congratulations on your Nobel Peace Prize and as you call it "your call to action".

Sincerely,

Flamingo

Rule #1: Cardio

So, ummm... yeah! Fucking WOW!!! I loved this movie. It was so damned good! I would recommend this movie to ANYONE! Whether you love, hate or are indifferent to the whole zombie genre of movies, go see this one! Just "nut up or shut up!" I laughed my ass off. And yes, I will admit I jumped a few times (but I blame the preview for the movie Legion for starting that).

I'm also so looking forward to World War Z based on a book by Max Brooks. Who has also written The Zombie Survival Guide and the forthcoming The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks. Ugh, I need to get my ass going and finish reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and then move on to the Max Brooks collection. All the while, still enjoying the new found and extremely amazing distraction in my little mad scientist...



Just a few rules to live by:

#1 - Cardio ... "The first ones to go were the fatties..."
#2 - Beware of bathrooms
#3 - Seat belts
#4 - Double tap ... the zombies ALWAYS get back up after the first shot/blow
...
#17 - Don't be a hero
#18 - Limber up
#22 - Plan your escape
#31 - Check the back seat
#32 - Enjoy the little things

Dear FCC and your new blogger law... I was not paid for this rave review of Zombieland, nor have I ever spoken with or received any kind of compensation (unless you count the hours of joy I received from watching it and talking about it) from anybody even remotely involved with this fucking-fantastic movie!

Zombieland here I come!

So today, after work... Zombie Queen and I (along with her straight husband... I'm the gay husband here...) are going to see Zombieland. This should fit in perfectly with my love of the funnier side of zombie movies (such as Shawn of the Dead, Fido and Boy Eats Girl).

I do have to admit I've fallen down on my zombie readings though. I love Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but I am just having the hardest time finishing it. I've got like 10 chapters left...but for some reason my lazy ass just isn't reading. Maybe I can blame it on the new little mad scientist in my life... maybe...
