RL Tragic Love Story - Bridegroom

I'm not sure why I hadn't seen this video before - probably because I generally have my head in the sand. But it's a must-see if you have any compassion and love in your heart.

It's beautiful because of the love these two men shared.

It's tragic because that love was ripped apart forever.

It's shocking because others can be so cruel, selfish and thoughtless.

It's incomprehensible (to me) how people can remain so tied up in their own beliefs that they refuse to swallow their pride during such a tragic event.

It's appalling (again to me) that people refuse to make an effort to gain even a morsel of understanding or at least a morsel of an attempt to understand and accept.

It's wrong that spending years with the one you love can be reduced to nothing so fast and make you seemingly disappear from that person's life.

It's beautiful and strong and powerful how the one remaining chooses to pick himself up, to move on and try to make a difference.

Day of Porn offering - Just a Rat in a Cage - NC-17

Title: Just a Rat in a Cage
Fandom: Avengers, Thor, ThorokiPairings: Thor/LokiRating: NC-17Disclaimer: I own nothing and nothing is true. Warnings: God-incestA/N: Written for rykaine’s Day of Porn – and I’m almost on time. J

"I wish to speak to my brother alone." “You mean the rat in the cage? Be my guest.”
“I will not have you insulting my brother, man of iron. No matter his crimes, he still remains an Asgardian.”
Loki grinned but kept his eyes closed. He knew Thor wouldn't be satisfied with the way they'd ended things on the cliff. He wasn't satisfied either... in much more important ways. If that stupidly suited moron with the shield and that ridiculous bucket of bolts hadn't shown up, Loki would have had his brother begging at his feet to get them both off right there on the edge of that cliff. It had been so long... too long since he'd felt Thor's lips on his, Thor’s hands caressing over his skin, Thor’s very essence filling Loki up like no one else ever had."I require some privacy with my brother. Can you not blacken the outside walls of his confinement and quiet the microphones so I might talk some sense into him?"
Sense, indeed. There had never been any sense between Thor and Loki, and certainly talking inside a glass cage would not change all that had passed between them. But it did appear they'd gone through a role reversal of sorts.
As children, Thor had been the spontaneous, mischievous one who dragged Loki and everyone around him into his schemes and whims. He'd never cared about whether he was causing mayhem or strife to those who loved and looked up to him. No, Thor had been the selfish, inattentive one who just expected others to clean up after him, and unfortunately because of Loki's attachment to his brother, he’d been the one to take the brunt of the aftereffects.
But now, ever since Thor had fallen to this disgustingly mundane planet, he'd become responsible and dependable, and Loki had taken his rightful place as the God of Mischief. And he intended to show his power in every way he possible.
The crackle of electricity alerted Loki to his brother's presence. A warm hand stroked across his cheek as he remained prone and closed-lidded on the uncomfortable cot against the wall. His nose tingled at the familiar musky fragrance of his brother; all Thor with none of the perfumed, odorous nonsense these humans doused themselves in. He was instantly—painfully—aroused by the mere scent and chaste touch of his brother's fingers, and as the need deepened inside him he struggled to hold his stoic position. He wanted to hear what Thor had to say before he put his own plan into motion.
"Does your body honestly recline in slumber, my brother? Or do you lay in a state of waiting for the perfect chance to escape?" Thor's breath was hot against Loki's cheek, his mouth so close he felt the brush of lips against his skin. Then in the most improbability of all improbabilities, Thor kissed Loki on the mouth—soft, gentle, lingering. "I've missed you, Loki. You shall never imagine how much."
It took Loki under five seconds to pin Thor to the glass wall, their bodies flush against one another, clothed cocks aching, straining, rubbing. "Care to prove just how much?" Loki's words slurred lustfully as he gazed into the bright blue eyes of the only being he'd ever truly loved. He wondered if more than just Thor's attitude and outwardly behavior had changed. Perhaps he no longer hungered as he once had?
Loki didn't have time to ponder before he was suddenly grabbed, pushed and flattened against the very spot he'd thrown his brother. Thor's lips covered his again and Loki's mouth was assaulted and prodded by the powerful, determined force of his tongue. He pushed back against Thor's mighty chest, widening his stance and struggling to clear his head, at least momentarily. Thor held tight, his fingers digging roughly into the fabric of Loki's jacket.
It would have been easy for Loki to tear himself away from Thor's manhandling. He could just teleport, not out of the hideous glass box of course, but out of his brother's reach. He could also duplicate himself and confuse poor Thor as he'd done more than once in the past but somehow letting Thor take control—think he had control—was the more delicious option.
Loki gasped and tore his mouth from Thor's when his feet were kicked further apart and Thor's hand fisted in his hair. "I'm torn between being very angry with you, brother, and wanting to penetrate you, to soothe this ache in my loins I’ve suffered since we parted."
Loki tilted his head to the side, lapping and sucking at the sensitive skin of Thor's earlobe. His words vibrated against Thor's neck. "And what have you decided? Shall you woo me with angry words or with the promise of satisfying the lust that exists, that has always existed between us?” He dragged the flat of his tongue over Thor’s bristly jaw, the shiver vibrating Thor’s body making Loki shiver with want himself. “Has this planet made you soft in more ways than one, brother?"
Thor growled and shoved Loki harder against the wall. He angled himself so he straddled Loki's right leg, the hardness of his groin straining against Loki's hip. "Does this not answer your question? You bring out the very things I've tried to control in myself, brother. The things I fought so hard to change."
Sliding one hand between their bodies, Loki palmed the bulge in Thor's pants. The fabric was too thick for Loki to feel the leaking tip of the dick beneath but instinct told him it was indeed damp inside those pristine black pants. His mouth watered just thinking about it and since thinking satisfied neither of them, he smoothly slithered his way down Thor's body to find out for himself.
A moan filled the steely silence of the glass cage, Thor's passion pouring from him without restraint just as Loki remembered had always been the case. It was pure bliss when Thor moaned again, reacting loudly to Loki mouthing and tonguing the shape of his shaft. Loki knew he'd been right when the sweet aroma of his brother's pre-come assaulted and thrilled his nostrils.
"Are you still angry with me, Thor? Do you wish me to halt in order that you might berate me for my behavior?"
Thor's response was primal and raw as he fisted Loki's long locks in one hand and tore open the flap of his own pants with the other. Loki's trickery was rewarded with a big, thick cock shoved half-way down his throat. He gagged for a second before recovering himself and pulling back from Thor's groin. He'd forgotten how well-endowed his brother was and how delectable he tasted on his tongue. He had no idea how he'd survived without Thor for so long. When they were together it was as if a long-extinguished flame was relit and his whole body reacted to Thor's touch, his scent, even the stern warmth of his voice.
"Did that woman from earth taste you as I've tasted you so many times, brother?" Loki hummed against Thor's inner thigh, his fingers ghosting between Thor's legs to tickle and tease the tightness of his balls. Thor bucked his hips forward but Loki held him tight, placing both hands on his muscled thighs as he completed his query. "Did she quiver and quake at your feet or demand you pillage her mouth hard and fast as I know you like?"
There was nothing more passionate than Thor caught in the throes of lust, or at least Loki had never experienced anything—anyone—as raw and ruthless as his brother during sexual relations. Thor grunted and arched his back, encouraging Loki to continue and he did. He sucked Thor's cock between his lips, relaxing his throat for what he suspected—hoped—was to come next. He wasn't disappointed. Thor bucked his hips forward again, both hands winding and tugging in Loki's hair while he thrust in and out of his mouth. 
Loud groans and growls filled the room, Thor's passionate cries and gasps surely penetrating the walls of the glass cage. Loki was just getting accustomed to the feeling of having his jaw stretched to its capacity, the sporadic rhythm and power of Thor's lust, and the delicious taste of his essence on his tongue, when he was roughly grabbed by the shoulders, his body pulled and tugged until he was upright. Thor flattened him to the wall, his mouth crushing Loki's until the metallic flavor of blood sweetened the kiss.
When they shoved away to breath, each huffing and panting to pull air into their overworked lungs, Loki’s fingersyanked hard in Thor’s hair. “What’s next, brother? Do we leave each other in the agony of unsated lust or will you justify my existence by fucking me right through this glass cage?”
Thor growled deep in his throat before shoving his hand down the back of Loki’s pants. It was Loki’s turn to gasp and arch his back. Thor’s fingers were as massive as the rest of him yet they slid easily over Loki’s sweat-dampened lower back and down into the crack of his ass. One finger managed to rub over Loki’s hole but there wasn’t enough room for much else. Thor obviously agreed because he pulled his hand back, dropped to his knees and yanked Loki’s pants down to his ankles—of course, without bothering to unfasten them. Loki cringed momentarily with the sudden friction against his cock but when it was finally released, his lust returned full force.
“Boots, Thor. Take off my boots.”
Thor made quick work of the request, tossing one then the other across the room. Loki’s pants were next, sailing over to land on the cot against the wall. He sucked in a stuttered breath when Thor’s mouth engulfed him in one mighty gulp. He sucked hard and fast, one hand wrapped around the base of Loki’s dick and the other finding its way to the Loki’s crack again. There was no “hey, how’s it going” with Thor. It was all passion and action all the time and Loki was ecstatic that had remained the same with his brother.
But Loki had no intention of letting Thor take the reins, now or every again, so after a few violent thrusts and jabs against the back of Thor’s throat, he pulled out. Thor looked up at him with lust-glazed eyes, his hair disheveled and a small trail of drool dripping from one cover of his mouth.
“You do not wish—“
Loki cut off his words with a hard shove backwards but Thor held his footing, merely stepping back still in his crouched position.
“I wish for you to fuck me hard and fast, Thor. Coming in your mouth is what humans call heaven but coming on your cock is better suited for gods such as us.”
Thor rose from his squat, his cock red and raging as it bumped against his flat belly. “Preparation? I do not wish to hurt you.”
Loki cackled and turned towards the wall, his feet shoulder width apart and palms flat against the glass. “Fuck me, brother. Fuck me like it’s the last time you’ll ever fuck me.”
“I do not like the sound of your words, Loki. They sound far too permanently fatalistic.”
He heard the indecision and sadness in Thor’s voice but it was neither the time nor the place for emotional drivel. Yes, Thor loved him, and yes, Loki loved Thor with all his heart—at least what was left of his heart—but in their current situation, all that mattered was feeling Thor’s skin next to his, feeling his cock fill his ass, feeling his orgasm swell and explode inside him.
Loki canted his hips and stuck out his ass. He reached backwards and snagged Thor’s hand, yanking the big man closer and pressing a kiss to his knuckles. “This is not goodbye, Thor. Is it not more of a perfect hello? Please. I need you. Do not make me beg.”
With a kiss to the back of Loki’s head, Thor blanketed his body with his own before rubbing his stiff cock up and down the crack of Loki’s ass. Loki shuddered when the tip brushed his entrance. He widened his stance a little more, moving both sweaty hands to balance himself on the wall. Thor pressed in a little more, the head of his dick firmly encased between Loki’s cheeks. Pre-come slickened the way when Thor finally pushed in.
Loki sucked in a breath and dropped his forehead to the wall. Tight, so fucking tight. Thor paused with only the head of his cock breaching Loki’s hole and Loki suddenly had had enough. He shoved his body back, impaling himself fully on Thor’s cock before they got let out matching groans of pleasure mixed with pain.
“Am I hurting you?” Ever the thoughtful one or at least as of late, Thor still hadn’t gotten the hint so Loki took further action. He pushed back again before quickly easing back then repeated the process until Thor deemed it okay to oh my god just fuck him!
Finally getting into the groove, Thor wrapped one hand around Loki’s waist, the other covering one of Loki’s hands on the wall. He bucked his hips fast, little jabs penetrating shallowly: once, twice, three times before almost pulling out then thrusting hard and deep. Loki pressed back, his prostate aching and tingling as Thor assaulted him from within.
A bite to the back of his neck made Loki turn his head and his mouth was immediately captured by his brother’s determined lips. They kissed and licked, bodies pumping and grinding until there was barely any energy left in their bodies, until their lungs screamed for relief and until they both came with a burst of sticky seed and a chorus of elated cries.
Afterwards they lay in a heap, bodies sated and almost destroyed, their arms wrapped tightly around one another. Once Loki regained his ability to think and to speak, he knew he needed to get up and off his brother. Staying in his arms would only fuel the fire of wanting Thor by his side, of needing Thor by his side. It wasn’t a possibility, at least until he’d performed that which he’d promised. Unfortunately, the look of pure contentment on Thor’s face made Loki fear it might already be too late to.
He opened his mouth to speak just as the invisible door hissed open. The one who wore the ridiculous metal suit stood in the doorway, his hands full of different items and a knowing smirk plastered on his face.
“I…um… thought you might need some supplies. Do they even have Wet Ones on Asgard? Anyway, I’ve brought you some because they are so damn handy in situations like this and trust me I know what I’m talking about. If I had to count how many times these things have saved my ass or well, you know, cleaned my ass and other parts, I don’t even thing I could add them—”
“Stark! Give them what they need and get the heck out of there.”
“Aye aye, Captain,” Stark bellowed back. “Kind of a bossy old guy, isn’t he? He claims to not have enjoyed the show but his uniform seemed a little tighter than usual. Not that it isn’t usually tight but well—“
Thor moved away from Loki, quickly tucking himself back in and facing Stark nose to nose. “You assured me we would have our privacy.”
Stark shook his head and Loki covered his own smile with his hand. “Um… no, I really don’t think I did. We can certainly hit the playback to see if I said it, though. I believe we have the video and audio of everything that’s happened since you entered the facility. Could make for a great night’s viewing. Maybe even give the Capsicle some ideas.”
“Stark!”
“All we need is popcorn. Oh, fuck. I bet we have some of that. Cap! Do we have any popcorn?”
“Stark! I’m going to kill you!”
“Maybe instead of, you know, killing me right now, you could just ask Fury if we have any popcorn. Hot air or even microwave will work. Wait, do you even know what a microwave is?”
“Stark!”
Stark turned back to an angry Thor and an amused Loki. “Anyhow, here’s the wipes and some towels and some lube just in case you, you know, have any more talking to do. And by the way, Point Break, I’d totally get those drapes dry-cleaned. Rock of Ages really did a number on messing them up. Cheers.”
Loki fell on his back to the floor, the laughter rolling from his mouth while Thor hovered over him. “You knew all the time that they were observing us. Didn’t you?” The smirk never left Loki’s face. “For Father’s sake, cover yourself, brother. Have we not given these mortals enough of a show?”
“But I’m not sure they captured my good side. Perhaps we should try again on the other side of the room?”
“Open the door!” were the last words Loki heard from his brother. He rolled to his stomach, watching Thor’s progress when he left the cage, his arms flailing over his head and his mouth surely yelling words not befit for a god.
Loki slid a hand to down the back of his thigh, his finger playing in the stickiness that covered his bottom and legs. Bringing the finger to his lips, he sucked it into his mouth and closed his eyes again. He’ll be back.

Music Monday - Goo Goo Dolls

I'm doing the Goo Goo Dolls for obvious reasons - I saw them on Friday and they were Goo-tacular. Best show I've seen them do in a long time. They were relaxed and John had a couple of giggle fits during a song. Robby was sock-footed as usual, and someone threw him baby shoes for his new baby. He was so happy - they both were just a joy really.

The Goos are working on a new album and have been around for, like, ever. Hard to believe John is 46 and still so damn pretty. That's all I'm gonna say. Goo Goo Dolls are a must buy, must see, top ten on my list. I'm including a couple of pics and vids I shot on Friday - not saying they're good because I'm shaky and keep putting my finger over the mic - but I think they're still cute. :)  Enjoy.
(PS - I'LL BE PUTTING ANOTHER POST UP LATER FOR THE DAY OF PORN ^_^)




Broadway (1998)  Funny. :)

Iris (1998) - Still one of my all-time faves.

Black Balloon (1999) (They performed this one & I had it on vid but erased it - have to figure out how to recover the damn thing)

Here is Gone (2002)


Better Days (2006)

Let Love In (2006)

Sunday at the movies

The Birdcage (1996) starring Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Diane Wiest, Gene Hackman, Dan Futterman and oh-my-god-I-love Hank Azaria. ~~ I can't count the number of times I've watched this movie. It's one of those that will come on TV and I'll sit and have to watch even though I have it on DVD too. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane play off each other so awesomely and as cheesy as some people think it is, this movie rocks. Even though I love the main characters and their son (Dan Futterman), Hank Azaria as Agador (Spartacus) just made me wet myself. There are so many unforgettable lines in this movie and it will cheer you up when you really need it.




Boy Culture (2006) starring Derek Mayer, Darryl Stevens (Noah's Arc), Jonathon Trent ~~ all relatively unknown actors in a sometimes very intense film. X is a highly paid male escort but still lives with his roommates Andrew and Joey. This film has a little different feel because X narrates it all the way through. It took me a while to get used to it but it's a fabulous story of gay men trying to find their way with each other and out in the world. The actors are all hot and the chemistry is over-the-top sexy but because of the escorting scenario, it might not be a film for everyone. In my book, it's a great flick.





The Trip (2002) - Larry Sullivan, Steve Braun ~~ unknowns again who pull off awesome performances. Gay politician plus gay rights activist equals drama, humour, regret and love. This film spans quite a few years and will make you smile as well as break your heart. I love both characters - most of the time :D
 - and together they are so sweet.  I don't want to give anything away but **definite warning of tears**.

Flashback Fridays - One Hit Wonders of the 80s

Flashback Fridays - One hit wonders of the 80s. You know there are a lot of them and when you hear the song you go "oh, I remember that - I loved that song" but generally you have no idea who the band who sang it is.

I'm playing this game called Songpop and I'll there'll be a clip to one such one hit wonder and it's on the tip of my tongue just who the hell sang it so here ya go - some of my fave one hit wonders of the 80s (I do have albums of some of these bands too and they weren't really one hit wonders but I just think they never got any radio play *

**disclaimer - I can only go by what dates I find so these might not be 100% accurate & there were so many more I could have posted - perhaps another time**
*~*~*~*
Devo - Whip It (1980)
No a fave of mine to be honest but it has to be one of the most well-known one hit wonders.

Soft Cell - Tainted Love (1981)
It was a remake of a 1965 song and was released again by Marilyn Manson in 2001.The video for Soft Cell's version is a little strange and had some controversy surrounding it because of the little girl in the video that the lead singer keeps pointing to. It was the 80's, people.

Bob & Doug Mckenzie - Take Off featuring Geddy Lee (1982)
Yeah, I had to do it - couldn't resist. Not sure if anyone but Canadians know who Bob & Doug are (Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas from SCTV) and they probably gave other countries the wrong idea about Canadians in some way but they were damn funny. This isn't much of a song but Geddy Lee's voice is awesome as ever and the boys banter is great. So... take off, eh. (PS not really a video)

Glass Tiger - Don't Forget me When I'm Gone (1983)
Finally a Canadian band. Glass Tiger had the boost of having Bryan Adams take an interest in them and play a small part in their this song - though in the video he's played by a rockin' kid. :) They did have other songs on the radio but this was their big one.

Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take it (1984)
They were over-the-top glam and hair and make-up - just everything was over the top. But I swear there isn't one person who doesn't know the song or seen the video. Lead singer, Dee Snider, is still around and quite successful.

Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Right Round (1985)
Filmed on a shoe-string budget just to get the video out, it's not that bad. Pete Burn was a sexy guy who had the whole androgyny thing going before it was cool.

Howard Jones - No One is to Blame (1986)


 Another song I loved and one that even today when I was trying to think of it,
I could hear it in my head but couldn't remember the title or the artist.

Stryper - Honestly (1987)
A Christian rock band that did fairly well in their own right but this was their biggest hit.
I imagine it was the standard song for a lot of weddings that year. Sweet song.

Midnight Oil - Beds are Burning (1987/88)
Since both my 1987 and 1988 pics were a little out of my range, I've giving you Midnight Oil.Awesome song from this Australian band.

Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy (1988)
I little different from all the others I've posted but it's definitely a classic.

Faith No More - Epic (1989)
A mix of rap, pop, rock and metal - this is an awesome song. To me it's very Red Hot Chili Peppers-ish and lead singer Mike Patton even looks and has Anthony Kiedis' movements. They were a band that didn't take themselves too seriously but dammit, I can never remember the name of the song.

W.I.P. Wednesday & this & that

I definitely have a few WIPs that need to be whipped into shape and I love that little pic. :)

Progress update:

Olympic Football: I finished and subbed my Olympic football story - it came out at 8000 words just between the 5 and 10k parameters. I think it's a sweet story and it shows I may have even learned something during all my Euro Cup watching because I actually used some football words. :) I think I'll hear next week whether it will be accepted for the anthology.

Ancient Greece - Olympics:  This one has been put aside for now. It ended up at 10k before it was 3/4 finished and I think the relationship overrode the Olympics part a little too much. Eventually Xanthos and Lykos will see the light of day but for now they're sleeping peacefully.

Day of Porn: Lol, yes you read that correct. On Monday, July 16 (OMG it's next week) the lovely Samantha Derr is hosting this event on LJ and I'm really hoping to write for it. It's open to fics or pics, fanfic, original, slash, het - so basically anything goes. This pic is what I'm wanting to write about. :)  Was there every any doubt. :P Perhaps, if I have time I'll slip in an Alexander/Hephaistion too. :P Anyone have any other suggestions or ideas? Here's Sam's original post. Day of Porn.

Ali's story (Family of Misfits 2)  (not the actual title): So far this one is only thoughts and 1000 words of notes but I've had people ask for it already. I do know where it's going but I just have to get them there. I promise to have it out by the end of the year and I know it's going to be fun to write Ali and his spirit mate. :) (I'm still struggling to find a stock photo of Ali and Lucius, too - dammit)

Ho Ho Ho MLR Christmas stories : I'm hoping to do a short sequel to Countdown to Daddies - with the babies having their first Christmas with their daddies. Better get my butt working on that.

Kiss Me at Midnight collection : This one's for Less Than Three Press. A collection of stories based on a new year, a new start. No ideas yet but I have some time to mull it over. Anyone have any suggestions?

Rocking Hard serial story: I've started this one - barely - and will be using characters from my The P.I. and the Rockstar story that will be in the Private Dicks anthology from Less Than Three. I think it's due out in September or October. You gotta know this call is right up my alley considering my obsession for rockstars. :P

Rockstar (health issue) story : I have this 26,000 word story that I was never able to finish for one of NaNoWriMo. It's not done and I haven't looked at it for a while but eventually I'll brush it off and see what I can do for it. Can't just trash it - it's Rockstars. :)

Home on the Ranch 2 : I started this one for Valentine's Day (13,000 words) but it went too long and I got bogged down with working out where I wanted it to go. Josiah and Wyatt will be back though. They still have a lot to say.

Outfoxed: Outfoxed was my first original story - ever, at least for public consumption - and was a free read. I'm going to spruce it up a bit and continue on from where it left off and hopefully publish the whole thing together. I miss my rockers boys and the added part is already at 15,000 words.

Sam & Jandro: You might have noticed this one on my main blog page. It's a story that I wrote a few years ago when I was just beginning to write fanfiction. It's very rough and I believe I've honed my skills a little since I wrote it. It's a touching story about family and hate and love, and my characters are absolute sweethearts. I hope to get back to it eventually and see if anyone else is as interested in it as I am. It's 82,000 words at the moment - holy crap. :)

In other news: I finished my first round of edits on Domestic Relations for Less Than Three and have ones for The P.I. and the Rockstar sitting on my desktop waiting for attention. I also was able to pimp Lucius' Bite in my friend Zathyn Priest's new digi GLBT magazine The Scarlet Letter and I might be doing a blog post for the next issue. Check it out - there's something for everyone and it's kind of awesome, even if I am a little biased.

And in real life: I still haven't sorted out my cruise pics but I will soon. Last night my sister, my crutch and I saw Seether at the Calgary Stampede (if you don't know what that is, google it - it's sort of Calgary's claim to fame 10 day cowboy party - but we are not all cowboys trust me) It's the 100th anniversary - um...yahoo. To be honest I only go down when there's a band I want to see - and Seether is one of my faves. Anyhow, my boys rocked the park for an hour and a half - and hour and half of bliss for me. So awesome to see them by themselves and without other bands to take up their time. I'll post a couple of pics here.

On Friday, I'm going to another Stampede sort of thing - the Oxford Stomp. It's band-related, of course. Big Wreck, Theory of a Deadman, and the headliner GOO GOO DOLLS. Yeah, I kind of love them, too. It's all outside so I'm praying for some cloud cover or I'll be a hurting unit because it starts at 3 in the afternoon. I will be cowboy-hatted for this one - my Vancouver Pride cowboy hat - and my crutch and husband will accompany me.


And speaking of the knee and crutch - I'm scheduled for my next steroid injection on Tuesday so I hope everyone will keep their fingers crossed that it'll work this time. I want to go to Vancouver Pride crutchless. :) Sorry this was so long-winded. Have a great rest of the week.

 The Goo Goo Dolls will be rocking the stomp. Love my Johnny and Robbie


I think Thor and Loki will approve of my story. :)

Tattoo Tuesday - Bruno Spinelli

Maybe I should call this Tuesday - Tattooed-Musctacular Tuesday. ;)

Bruno Spinelli is a late twenty-something personal trainer and part-time model in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I don't know much else about him except he does have his profile on a gay dating site - which, yeah, could mean nothing. He's hot and built like a little brick shithouse that's been artfully decorated to compliment its stunning architecture. Okay - I'll stop there before I go off on some purple prose-like tangent. Enjoy Bruno. (and his adorable dog in some pics) He's a bit muscly for me but I love his tattoos and he has a killer smile. Don't you agree?

Music Monday - Kill Hannah

Kill Hannah - formed in 1993 in Chicago Illinois - word has it the band name came from Mat Devine's ex-girlfriend. I've seen them described as a band you either love or hate - there's no happy medium. I think they're awesome.
And speaking of awesome and of Mat Devine - yeah, I admit I might have started listening to them because of how freaking cute and adorable and weird and tiny he is (not to mention his awesome hair that just never does what it's supposed to), but I do love his voice as well - it's very unique. He's also freaking funny and you should totally follow his twitter and his blog Raccoon Society. The guy speaks his mind and lets others do the same. He's made of awesome.
But um... back to Kill Hannah. They've grown as men, as a group and in a musical way over the past few years as you can attest to in the videos. I guess you could call them more pop than rock but I personally love Mat's voice and lyrics so that's the hook for me. My kids still claim it has to be a girl singing that high - and yeah, he's tiny and looks like a girl sometimes, too. :D Anyhow - enjoy Kill Hannah.

Lol - this will show you a bit of Mat's character. He had an "I hate Mat Devine" video sent to him and made this lip sync to it. Hilarious. Warning for language - if that matters. :)


Gratuitous Mat Devine pics (how do my music posts always end up as music and picture posts?)And yeah, he does kind of look like he's twelve but he was born in 1974 - you figure it out :DAlso no, I'm not sure why he likes the white line on his face - raccoon thing maybe?















Mat's profile from the Raccoon Society (hard to read sorry) And did I mention he was on Broadway in "Spiderman - Turn Off The Dark"?Couldn't find many pics though.

Sunday at the movies

Sundays at the movies. New category to the repertoire of my blog that I will probably be unable to maintain like the rest of my categories. But I can promise to try.


I thought I'd share some of my favourite movies with you - and yeah, they'll probably all be gay - and no, I won't keep putting The Avengers or Thor over and over and over. *crosses fingers*


I'm not going to put them in any kind of order because that would completely destroy the OCD guy that lives in my head - trust me, it would be a logistical nightmare. So here we go - in no particular order (I have to keep telling myself that) - some of my fave movies. Feel free to share yours with me.
(PS This will be an on-going list. I'm not going to try to put them all at once (I hope - *smacks OCD guy*), in fact I'm going to put them as out of order as possible. :)


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ It's My Party (1996) starring Eric Roberts, Gregory Harrison,  Margaret Cho, Roddy McDowell, Olivia Newton-John, Marlee Matlin, Bronson Pinchot, Christopher Atkins (wow, that's a lot of people)
~~I've started with an oldie but a goodie and I think it was one of the first "gay" storylines I'd seen (besides Philadelphia, which I'm sure will make the cut eventually too - at least one that I can remember. At the time I loved Eric Roberts so I think that was the original reason I even watched then bought it (on VHS lol). In today's standards, it's probably a little hoakie or cliche but it still remains one of my faves and I finally bought it on DVD to enjoy some more.

"You won't leave me, will you?" Nick asks Brandon shortly after revealing to him the results of his last blood test for HIV. "I don't want to die alone."

BANGKOK LOVE STORY (2007 - Thailand - English subtitles) ~~ not your typical love story by any stretch of the imagination or your typical gay story line but damn, I love this film. This movie is raw and violent and hopeful and will break your heart. It's high on my list of favourites and the acting by the two MCs is spot-on awesome. These characters will make you care for them no matter what they do or who they are. There were little tears of sadness and joy all the way through and I was seriously afraid to get to the ending but I won't tell you what happens - you'll have to find out for yourself.

Killing brought them together.  Their love is dangerous.
If you deny love, can you deny longing?
Love can happen to anyone.

THE MAN I LOVE (L'homme que j'aime - 1997 - France - English subtitles) ~~ So this one was actually supposed to be a TV movie so don't expect sex or language but the story is so sweet, the main character Martin adorable beyond adorable and of course and his object of affection hot and steamy. There's definitely some GFY in this one, and a little het, but if you just ignore it and enjoy the relationship that forms, you won't be able to deny it's awesomeness.

What gay man hasn't sat beside a pool and dreamed of declaring his love to a beautiful straight boy whose Speedo fits just right?





~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SHELTER (2007) ~~ You had to expect this one was going to be here. It's a realistic (IMHO) portrayal of a young man trying to understand who he is. The acting is good, the story is good, the characters are well hashed out and likeable. If you haven't seen it, you really need to. There isn't an abundance of sex but what little there is is really amazing. Brad Rowe and Trevor Wright do a fabulous job of looking natural and into each other. That doesn't mean I'm saying gay actors should play gay characters - I'm just commenting that they seem to have a chemistry that other gay characters in North American gay storylines don't seem to have. *gets off soapbox*
Love happens where you least expect to find it.

Sexy Saturday

A ton of random sexiness for a Saturday. Some are even clothed. Happy Saturday. :)
Joe just being... Joe. Joe = sexy.

Ricky having a moment.


Lost in the woods? I have a GPS. :)

Is it hot in here or is it just me?

Football sexiness.

Jean and bare-chested? Yums. Wonder if the feet are bare too - that's even hotter.

Holy hell. This boy needs someone something to ride. Yahoo - it is Stampede time in Calgary.

Men cuddling is definitely sexy.

Ah, Mr. Leto. Do you ever age?You'll always be sexy to me.

Eyes that can stop a moving locomotive.

Smooth body is smooth.

Yeah - fully clothed but I love the tattoo on his neck and his whole look. He'd make such a great character.

You know I had to include them, right? I mean really. Right?
