So some of you ‘mos might already know about this guy since he has 50k subscribers, gets very naked for his vlogs, has legitimately great line delivery, and tackles gay topics in a non-offensive and cute-entertaining way. His name: Davey Wavey.

Well, not so long ago he posted a little vlog that upset one of my favorite YouTubers, Gay Family Values. Here’s the vlog:

Yes, it’s clever. It’s cute. He looks great without his shirt on. Cool. Whatever.

But Gay Family Values was upset that it didn’t address the decision in Maine to take marriage rights away from the gay population, a group that fought hard for those rights and (duh) deserves the,. Given Davey Wavey’s popularity, this gay dad would have liked to see issues that severely affect him actually addressed by the little hot twink. Here’s his uncharacteristically negative vlog:

So this whole exchange got me thinking. Two big thoughts actually:

1) Should I blog about politics? I always considered this more the realm of gay news bloggers like my favorite internet DILF Joe My God. Is it irresponsible of me as a gay blogger to ignore the current political climate and just blog about whatever the hell I feel, whether it be hot roller derby coaches or recaps of Dante’s Cove? I mean, I only post about once a week these days soooooo… is this an obligation or are other bloggers already filling that niche? Is it the responsibility of entertainment based blogs/vlogs like me and Wavey to talk about the important things happening on the front of gay rights in recent history?

2) Should I stalk Davey Wavey? Really. I will leave crazy ass devotional video responses to each of his new vlogs if I get three comments here affirming that this is a good decision. I have a weird crush on his crazy twink steez. He makes me feel the way I imagine 12 year old girls feel when they see a newly released trailer for New Moon. I mean he’s kinda funny, but my taste is really more up the alley of my new favorite internet source of laffs, Edith Zimmerman. I don’t understand my attraction to him at all, except maybe it’s that he has perfect skin and a bangin’ bod. However, he’s hairless, so what? Confused by my own libido right now. Hell, stalking D-dubs sounds like fun so I’ll probably do it anyways, I just want the validation that people read this and think it’s a good idea. So please leave comments and tell me if you would like to see me leave inappropriate devotional vid responses for Davey Wavey. I promise to blog about it if you few readers tell me to.

Maybe the reason I’m feeling so Devo is that I am listening to the Cardigans while writing this. Davey Wavey, you make me feel fine, gurl. See you on the netz, queen.

Boo! It’s Almost Halloween!

So there’s this new application that you have probably already heard about called Grindr. Basically the idea is that you can see guys in your area and how far away they are from you on your iPhone. It’s kinda like Manhunt I guess but taken to the next level incorporated GPS and all sorts of other advanced mobile social networking goodies. Also, it has a totally creepy skull/Jason mask for it logo:

I think maybe this is supposed to have the same effect on me as products that bear the message “AIDS Is Not Over.” Can’t be sure, but it’s pretty scary.

Or maybe the point of the logo is just to attract a lot of freaky people. While only a small percentage of the population really has access to this application, as it’s only available on the iPhone, it hasn’t stopped a number of totally crazy people from joining and trolling the mobile web for sex. This is where my newest micro-blog obsession picks up – Guys I Blocked on Grindr.

Basically this site is kind of like Guys With iPhones, but instead of being a kind of updated version of Hot or Not but geared towards gays with fancy technology, it’s just a cesspool of negativity towards guys who cruise using this new application. And we all know that cesspools of negativity on the internet equal instant hilarity! And with the exception of this one guy posted on there, who seems totally dreamy and I would love to go eat pancakes with, the site is a good mix of hilarious joke profiles and horriffic train wrecks in internet dating that can stand up to anything on Lurid Digs.

Since it’s the Halloween season, I’ve what I think qualifies as the most legitimately frightening profile ever:

I don’t have an iPhone so I can’t make a horrible tumblr of myself. I have about 1085 embarrassing pictures of myself that I don’t mind sharing with the world, and definately suck at online cruising, so I bet I could be on there. But I did make a PSD graphic template so that I could make a pretend screenshot. You can download my PSD template here to make one yourself.

Here’s my faked profile disaster:

So would you block that? Or did I not make it freaky enough? Post the freakiest profiles you either make yourself or find in the comments.

Please accept this formal apology for a lack of updates. I’ve been on vacation and despite his valient attempts fellow author Vagenius just hasn’t been able to finish writing anything. Before that I was frantically trying to update our blog software due to spam filter malfunctions (booooooring!!)

But you know what I have been doing while not online?

I watched a marathon of Bridezillas that re-introduced me to the darkness of humanity!

I failed at playing the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s “Maps” maps on the medium difficulty level!

I had a picnic with a cat on a leash!

Oh, and I also went to Provincetown and got some much needed relaxation and sun. I got enough sun that my buddy Marlon told me I look latino. That must be why they call me El Papi Barracho at the deli down the street.

But most importantly, I’ve spent a lot of time looking at other people’s sites and blogs instead of updating my own. One site in particular has hypnotized me this entire summer and deserves a fierce shout out. A fierce shout out set to a mash-up of Ru-Paul’s “Cover Girl” and the theme song from “Chips” and it goes something like this:

I can’t get enough of CTRL + W33D. Srsly, guys, don’t be mad because they’re rad. I’ve been into these guys for about 6 months and am happy to finally have a reason to write them up.

These guys are probably the best bunch of geniuses since the folks at Everything is Terrible. I mean…. they posted this which has been stuck in my brain and keeping me awake at night for the last two weeks and also sparked a sudden interest in the hilarity that is the Pomeranian breed.

Another ongoing meme they recently started that has me hot and bothered? Screenshots of Grindr. What happens when you combine desperation, constructed online personas, and Guys with iPhones? Really embarrassing Grindr conversations and pix. It almost makes me wish I had an iPhone so I could play along. It’s a source of endless hilarity and these guys totally nailed it.

BUTT magazine wrote them up on their blog a while ago, and east village DJ and nightlife personality Michael Magnan offers a nice succinct explanation to help better understand the site and how it’s a signifier of the apocalypse.

Since February 2009, anonymous Tumblr’s D.R., I.L., B.A., K.K., and J.G. have been collectively assembling a seemingly endless archive of hilarious, perverted and inebriated found images and video under the pseudonym CTRL + W33D. A mission statement addressed to one of the later-joining members classified its intentions as being a “totally NSFW…experiment in Anarchy and AIDS and Being High.”  For those of you growing up gay 3.0 on the internet, this visual morgue should help satiate your constant jones for getting lost in a matrix of google image search depravity.’ – Michael Magnan

I have my own way of explaining this blog that involves this recent conversation with a friend that I can only loosely transcribe from memory.

Friend: I was in this art history class, and the teacher was all “If Andy Warhole was alove today would he blog? And what would he blog about?
Me: He wouldn’t blog. He’d have a Tumblr.
Friend: Duhz. Teachers are such squares.

Basically CTRL+W33D feels like the ghost The Factory using the internet to digitally whisper into our present.

So, I suggest all of you take their big, hard RSS feed and stick it in your Google Reader. Once you learn to relax a little, there’s no way you’ll be dissapointed with how it makes you feel.

P.S. The guys at CTRL+W33D are also frequent contributors to Bears I’m Jealous Of which has me suspicious that I might only be a degree or two removed from their real life socializing. This has led to countless hours of recent internet stalking trying to figure out who they are. I’d appreciate any real clues or funny misinformation in the comments.

Vagenius, also known as fellow creator of GMSC Eliot, occasionally stops by to give is opinions on various topics and guys he’d like to do. This is one of his posts. You can see all of them here:

Having not posted in a while, suffice it to say I’ve got a lot on my mind (and I know that Arch Noble and the Manhunt blog guy are just waiting with baited breath because, let’s face it, I’m CRAZY important, you guys).

However, this isn’t the time or place (okay, well, yes, it is the place) for me to spout rhetoric or wax philosphical about issues facing gender, sexuality, and queer identification.  Nah, you guys, today’s a different kind of day.  In fact, it’s a day I’ve declared The Day I Found A Twink I’d Like To Enter.

As a gentleman who fancies himself a fan of mostly the “bear-friendly” crowd (by which I mean dudes with facial scruff, body hair, deep voices, muscular legs, and tattoos – BONER TOWN, “POP.” ME!), the “twink” is a body type to which I virtually pay no attention.  Of course, the feeling is often mutual, but nevertheless, my wiener could tell you firsthand (yes, she talks!) that little is less appealing than a torso resembling that of a tween girl.  No.  Thanks.

HOWEVER, the power of dance has changed all that in thanks to Curtis, or MrTinydancer88 (duh #1), a young (duh #2), entirely hairless (duh #3) musical theater actor (duh #4, 5, and 6) who has taken to dancing shirtless (duh #7) on YouTube in videos that showcase his mindblowingly skillful ability to Booty Dance.   Like only the most savvy of the ghetto princesses who popularized the dance, this fag pops his ass, makes it bounce, and, in the process, makes me forget that he’s wearing a girl’s headband (duh #8), has a BELLY BUTTON PIERCING (duh #9), and is essentially beckoning for a gang bang (duh #10) in front of his best gal pal (duh #11).

It’s sick, it’s twisted, and I can’t believe I want him to take off his cutoff sweatpants (duh #12).

I was busy catching up on my favorite little DIY podcast done by the lovely Dina and Laura over at Hey Girl Hey: A Podcast and just learned, while listening the the end of episode 27, about this little gem. Did you all know that Ryan Gosling was in a folk goth band called Dead Man’s Bones? Because I sure as hell didn’t. I guess this was big news back in late December?

Considering that the number one Google result this blog, which wrote up a crappy “love it or leave it” post and kind of looks like Boing Boing branded for the Sex in the City Gal (Miranda TOTALLY would read this. Let’s go get margs after work girls), I’m going to assume this is still fairly under the radar for any one who has any real taste or pizazz. People like me. I have pizazz and taste in case you didn’t know.

And I think this is kind of awesome? I don’t know if it’s just my  affinity for the use of children’s choirs in indie music or if I am truly listening to greatness.

Also, there’s this really sweet song.

DEAD MAN’S BONES – “NAME IN STONE” from biz3 publicity on Vimeo.

Ryan Gosling is officially number on in my pantheon of celebrity crushes from now on, as if his performance Half Nelson didn’t impress me enough. If I had his number I would totally sext him all the time.

Ok, so this advertisement just popped up in my FaceBook sidebar and I got all sorts of upset.

I am very attracted to the model in the photo as he is. He would be disgusting and look like he has allopecia if you laser off all his hair. Also, lasering off one’s beard is kind of fucking disgusting.

FaceBook. Please control your ads. This should not be targetted at me. I think the Hipster Grifter said it best when she got this tattoo:

It reads as “I love beards,” although some may read it as “I love Taliban” if, say, they have a more ingrained and racialized image of terrorism in their brains than I. Not sure which message Kari meant.

So in other news, I here FaceBook is the new manhunt.net. Discuss!

Remember Deven Green? She was that hil-LAR-ious comedian from Vancouver BC that put up those classic parody pieces doing voice-overs on Brenda Dickson’s famous vanity project “Welcome to my Home.” She just did a piece for The Sword, a kind of more SFW off shoot of the porn site The Naked Sword.

And her new piece? It’s so so funny.

“Somebody just ate a baby!”

Warning: dork-out session ahead. Fellow bloggers and nyerds and Christopher Walken fans, this is for more for you. For the rest of you… please just consider this a tiny lesson in using social media wisely.

Remember how micro-blogging sites, specifically Twitter which limits messages to 140 characters, are always coming under fire for ruining the ways we communicate? Well, we have found our savior to lead us out of this darkness and his name is Christopher Walken. His Twitter account brings the medium to new heights and into the light. Some of the best are posted below, but you can always go to his account and check it out yourself.

You might be wondering, “Christopher Walken? Isn’t he someone that frat bros are fans of when they want to show they have an edgy side to their personalities? Why is he a genius? Why don’t you follow someone with legit alternative cool cred like David Lynch? I bet his twitters will blow your mind.” (I know. You are not wondering any of these things.) Read More!

This is amazing. If the USA had hot army ads like this maybe I’d be a war mongering American stereotype. I don’t even like women and I want to be surrounded by this bevy of beauties serving me vodka. Also, are the Ukrainian  special forces all male models or is it just that Eastern Europeans are very attractive?

Because I am the queen of the Gabe ‘n Jenny fan club, I can’t help but love and admire their new series, “Bestie by Bestie.” In this episdode, they ask the very important question, “Whose dad would you f*ck?”

“Bestie by Bestie” #2 from Gabe & Jenny.

Hmmmm. Maybe I’d do that silver fox on Gossip Girl, Bart Bass?

JK! I’d totes do Rufus first.
