The Best of 2010

Here are a few of my favorite things of 2010...

Best Restaurant Discovery...

Holy cow, Y'all...if you are ever in Atlanta you must eat here! It's not authentic Mexican, it's not Tex Mex, it's like Southwestern/Southern/Mexican. I just call it damn good food! You can visit their website by clicking here. There is one dish not listed on the menu, it's a combo of beans, rice & turnip greens called "The George". If you visit, make sure you ask for it. SO.DAMN.GOOD!

Best Movie...

"Black Swan"? Nope! "The Kids Are All Right"? Nope! "Social Network"? Nope! Nothing against those movies but the # 1 movie of 2010 to me has to be "Toy Story 3". This movie is far from than just an animated kids movie. It touches so deeply. I would even go so far as to say it deserves the Oscar for best movie of the year. It was also the #1 grossing movie of the year with over $ 415,000,000 domestically. WOW!

Best Song...

Michael Buble' "Haven't Met You Yet". I LOVE.LOVE.LOVE this song. It really describes what I'm singing daily to my future husband that I haven't met yet.

Best Video...

There was no better video. PERIOD! I mean Lady Gaga & Beyonce together in a super fun & campy video, what could be better? TOO GOOD FOR WORDS!

Best TV Show...

I love a lot of shows like "Glee , "How I Met Your Mother" and "Modern Family" but "The Middle" edges them all out as my favorite. This show is just so damn funny and reminds me of my life growing up. Patricia Heaton is pitch perfect as the typical suburban mom.

Best NEW TV Show...

If you are not watching "Raising Hope"...why the hell not? Stop whatever you are doing and set your Tivo/DVR. It comes on right after Glee and I know you guys are watching Glee. Stay tuned and check this show out. It is hysterical! And Cloris Leachman as Maw Maw is beyond fantastic and will crack your ass up.

Enjoy your day!

Pat Robertson: Snow Is God's Way of Punishing Americans Who Were Planning to Drive to Do Something Gay

Rev. Pat Robertson sparked controversy in today's broadcast of his 700 Club program when he claimed that God created the blizzard currently battering the Northeast "to punish Americans who were planning to drive to do something gay."

Explaining his theory, Rev. Robertson said, "Because of the bad road conditions the Almighty has made, any gay activities that people were planning on doing will have to be postponed by a day or two."

Additionally, he argued, God shut down major airports in the New York area "so that people who were hoping to fly to do something of a gay nature would have to take a train or a bus, so it might be days before the gay thing they were going to do could occur."

As for the millions of straight people in New York City who were also grounded by the bad weather, the televangelist said, "I think God probably wonders, if these people are really straight, then what are they doing in New York?"

Hump Day Hunk Of The Year

Each week I post a hump day hunk. I've decided I would choose a Hunk of the Year to post on the last Wednesday of the year. This hunk will be chosen from one of my weekly hunk posts. This year it could only be one guy...

RICKY MARTIN

On March 29, 2010 he made this statement via his website...
 "I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am."
I've heard some people say that his coming out was no big surprise. However, for those of us who have struggled with our sexuality, it was a big deal and very courageous.

Here's a clip from his Oprah show appearance this year...

Happy HUMP Day,Y'all

What's Happening

I hope you guys all had a very Merry Christmas. Here in the ATL we received our first white Christmas in 128 years!

My friend took this pic on her deck. Isn't it beautiful! I told her I may have to steal it and use it as my Christmas card next year. I love the green bird feeder with the red birds coming in to feed. So pretty!

Christmas day is also my birthday, so it was super nice to have it snow. It just made the day feel even more special. I turned 42 this year, that's dead in single gay man years. Ugh! At least I'm still cute. Haha j/k

Look what Santa brought me...

It's a 7 quart Le Creuset enameled cast iron dutch oven. I'm in love. I've had several like this but never a real

Le Creuset.  I also got a ceramic Le Creuset baking dish in the same color. Yay!

While I was on vacation I saw, Black Swan...

Every great review I read about this movie failed to do it justice. All I can say is... A-MA-ZING! Natalie Portman will win the Oscar for her perfomance. I also think Mila Kunis will win for Best Supporting Actress.

I better get back to work. I just wanted to say HEY and HOW U DOIN? Hope you all have a great day!

Hump Day Hunk: Shemar Moore(NSFW)

Today's hunk is one of my all time favorite's. He can currently be seen weekly in the CBS Drama, "Criminal Minds"...

Shemar Moore

 This pic was taken of Shemar on a nude beach in Maui. The rumor was that it was also a "gay" beach. OMG, there's hope for me. Oh, well at least hope for some gay guy. :)

I could totally lick him like a lollipop though...YUMMY!

Stem Cell Transplant Cures HIV In 'Berlin Patient'

I just saw this on the Huffigton Post website and had to share this great news...
On the heels of World AIDS Day comes a stunning medical breakthrough: Doctors believe an HIV-positive man who underwent a stem cell transplant has been cured as a result of the procedure.

Timothy Ray Brown, also known as the "Berlin Patient," received the transplant in 2007 as part of a lengthy treatment course for leukemia. His doctors recently published a report in the journal Blood affirming that the results of extensive testing "strongly suggest that cure of HIV infection has been achieved."

Brown's case paves a path for constructing a permanent cure for HIV through genetically-engineered stem cells.

Last week, Time named another AIDS-related discovery to its list of the Top 10 Medical Breakthroughs of 2010. Recent studies show that healthy individuals who take antiretrovirals, medicine commonly prescribed for treating HIV, can reduce their risk of contracting the disease by up to 73 percent.

While these developments by no means prove a cure for the virus has been found, they can certainly provide hope for the more than 33 million people living with HIV worldwide. Alongside such findings, global efforts to combat the epidemic have accelerated as of late, with new initiatives emerging in the Philippines and South Africa this week.

Hump Day Hunk: Rodiney Santiago

Are any of you guys watching "The A-List: New York" on Logo? I resisted watching for a long time but finally tuned in and loved it. I just love his broken english and thick accent. He's pretty damn good to look at too...

Rodiney Santiago

The season ended last night but I am sure Logo will re-run the entire season several times. If you were watching, check out the reunion special this Monday at 10pm est. It is being hosted by Wendy Williams...LOVE HER!
