So I'm eating M&M's in the middle of the night. It's been a while since the last time I had one. I'm wishing for a miracle when I wake up later.
I opened my account on Myspace again and revamped it. Anyway, nothing's new with it other than the numerous artists making and producing great music. Here's a friend (
@turnladyturn) who, for me, makes good music! Check his own version of Fireflies by Owl City. I love it! Go Dion!
On a not quite related note, I am now following
Mr. Mayer on Twitter. Only because of his recent tweet,
"I will not use texting as a form of reaching out for superficial attention/affection at all hours of the night." Thank you sir. I think I'm going to learn more from this man.
I'm thinking that the latest photo I have of myself is a little deceiving (though I only did minimal edits because I'm Photoshop-illiterate). Because ever since I used it as primary photo on Facebook and Myspace, I get invites from random people I don't know. I never accept strangers though unless they introduce themselves first. Hey, I'm still friendly.
Adding up 3 titles to the list of gay movies I've seen, its now 10 all in all! I seriously am addicted and in love with gay romance. For me, it seems like it's purer and stronger than hetero relationships. Why? Because homosexuality is still not well-accepted in many cultures which makes it harder for them to come out. So when I see gay couples, I always think that they really love and care for each other, even to the extent of being open to the public mainly composed of backward and close-minded attitudes.
Maurice and Ciao are very touching movies! Latter Days is okay. Steven Sandvoss is hot though!
Maurice is based on a 1913 novel set in Old England. It's a very nice movie because it's not only about coming out but it shows how more difficult coming out was for homosexuals before. People didn't know how to deal with it and ended up considering it as something rubbish and immoral. Other than the very heartwarming love story, there are few philosophies in the film, so there's a need for some brain work while watching.
Ciao is an independent film released last 2008 during a festival somewhere in America or Europe. For a moviegoer who likes action, this is not the thing for him/her. This one is a slow-moving, conversation-focused, emotion-filled movie. It's actually not all gay-ish, rather it's about something applicable to everyone of us. It's main theme talks about possible real life situation/s.
And because of my addiction, I am now a fan of Alessandro Calza. Please! Before you search for him online, be sure you're far from whoever you think will judge you. Some of the images, most especially on his Flickr, are NSFW. But they're hottt. Like really hottt! He's gay though, oh well. I read
one of his interviews and his character is one to admire! Here's my favorite:
In a straight world, no one teaches you how to be gay or how to face the pitfalls you may possibly find outside. How was that process for you as you were growing up? It is very difficult to find role models and that’s pretty hard. This is still a big problem for young generations because you don’t have role models in sports and entertainment, which is where straight people positive role models are. being gay is hard because of that (and because of many other reasons of course) but at the same time is quite good cause it is a chance to reinvent yourself in different terms, to challenge yourself questioning what’s your real self, instead of buying a pre-manufactured way of being from the outside (like most straight people do). It is a great chance, some people take it some people don’t…that’s why eventually, despite diversity, stereotypes are pretty much in the gay scene too.
What do you feel when see The Vatican and the Pope speak out against the decriminalization of homosexuality? The problem with the Vatican is totally internal. Their problem with homosexuality is a phobia they have because they know a large number of priests and clergy is homosexual. They fear that if homosexuality is accepted a lot of people in the clergy will come out as it happened in other churches. In fact divorce is way a bigger sin that homosexual acts, but they don’t rant so much about it and that is because it doesn’t affect them internally…
On top when they attack gay people they know they attack a minority and is not harmful to them if they attack pre marriage sex or divorce they would be against a too large number of people so they don’t do it.
Props for Alessandro! LOL! I want his look in Ciao back though. He's kind of a little buff, for me, now. Who cares anyway, I still love his eyes, nose... his whole face.
I'm fangirl-ing too much, think I'm hitting the sack now. I haven't read anything for tomorrow's classes. Not good.
Later!
