A Couple of Swells

I had a rough long run this morning. I've since reframed it in a "glass half full" way. I'm regrouped. This little song and dance number helped. It always does. Fred Astaire and Judy Garland together is almost too much for this gay boy's heart to take. Almost.

Friendly Fires - "Kiss Of Life"

The song, the video, his eyes...even his MOVES, are all working for me. I wanna feel it today. The kiss of life.

Lying to yourself doesn't make it easier

I've been obsessed with this song for a few weeks now, with no sign of waning interest. Makes me happy every time it pops up at home or in the car or at the gym or on the running paths. Listen and just try to sit still. Frankmusik.

I have one other song from this guy, Vacant Heart. Need more!

Baby, if he's the bottom, I'm the top

OK, two days in a row. Who smells a trend? But as a Cheyennetologist, how could I resist re-posting a pic of Mr. Jackson bottoming for Sandra Bernhard? This was from Broadway Backwards, which I think is a fundraiser for New York City's LGBT Community Center.

Wow. That ass/thigh combo is quite the one-two punch, non?

Grip so tight it shatters

I know I don't blog anymore, but in case anyone is around, I wanted to make sure you didn't miss Will Young's new video. LOVE this guy. I've really been enjoying his latest CD. Not sure how it's doing. Did he even sell it in the US? Anyway, I think the video is an unexpected and great take on the song.

Exactly!

From a NYT book review:

Most of us are in the blissful position of having already made up our minds without bothering to think about it.

This was in reference to evolution, but we can apply this to a whole lotta other topics, can't we? I can abide your differing opinion, but not if it's ignorant.

Peace.

I bet ya three Dorotas I could make ya happy

If you don't follow the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite, don't bother with this. But if you do, I'll wager this is the best thing you'll see all month.

Leap and the net will appear

you've flapped and fluttered against limits long enough
you've been a bird without wings
in a house without doors or windows
compassion builds a door
courage cuts a key
ask,
step off into the air
like a baby hawk
strut proudly into the sunlight
not looking back
take sips of this pure wine being poured
don't mind if you've been given a dirty cup
it's nothing.

Thanks to Landis.
