It is officially cheaper for me to be in Las Vegas

Hotels are $10 a night in Vegas!  That’s like YMCA prices in the 70’s!  Even the people living in tent villages in Hoovervilles around the country should be able to afford that.  Perhaps that’s the answer for thousands of families who are now homeless thanks to the mortgage crisis.  And it’s a good thing Vegas has been making itself more ‘family friendly’ for the past two decades!  If only Vegas had better heroin Williamsburg could send the hipster hobos there…maybe market it as what Hunter S. Thompson would have wanted them to do.

So the economy is supposedly on the rebound but no one seems to have bothered to let Vegas know.  I feel like Vegas should already be a fairly attractive option for homeless peeps.  It has to be a freegan dream with the all you can eat buffets and extreme meals.  There are TONS of tourists so you should be able to beg off an unlimited amount of ever changing strangers.  I’ve never heard of anyone having trouble getting drugs there and you can turn $1 into THOUSANDS!  Plus if you’re pretty like Demi Moore, sometimes millionaires will pay for you to play dress-up, ride on helicopters, blow on their dice (wink-wink, nudge-nudge) and then send you home with a healthy chunk of change for your troubles!  It’s a win for vegas and a win for hobos!

Oh wait-I just remembered why I could never live there…their drunk dance-off’s SUCK!  Who am I kidding…any drunk dance off is awesome.  Any dance off is awesome.  Turn your audio down unless you can’t get enough of drunk girls screaming.

I can’t help it! I freaking LOVE this song…

I know he’s an abuser…I know he’s a douche…I know the first 10 minutes of stomp the yard are amazing-especially the part where he gets killed…and I know that Jay Z has pretty much proclaimed a Fatwa against him…and I know he’s the Ike to Rhianna’s Tina…but I LOVE THIS SONG.  Yes it was made popular by a group of wedding dancers (btw, has anyone else noticed that 3/4 of the population LOVES that video and then there’s like a 1/4 of the population that literally thinks those people are, and I quote, “Assholes”?  It fascinates me…) but it was first used in a gum commercial!  YES!  The shocking truth!  An artist, even as devoted to the craft as Chris Brown, sold out and made a song for a product!  This actually makes me feel a lot better about wanting to hear this song all the time.  It’s like the song they used in Bud Light commercials a few years ago…I found myself not changing the channel just to listen to it.  And this was before Shazzam existed so I had no one way identifying it without embarrassing myself.  I feel super vindicated…I still won’t be blasting this from my car anytime soon…and it’s going on my never ending list of inappropriate wedding songs…but I will hold my head a little higher when I dance my ass off to it in the privacy of my own room.  I love you Chris Brown…even if you wear an “Oops” necklace, grew up in a po-dunk part of VA that doesn’t even know what “keeping it real” means, and aren’t man enough to know that striking a woman is wrong.  And thank you Wrigley…for helping me step closer to that door.

John Hughes is dead!

So sad!  All of his movies were a major part of my childhood and high school.  I still watch Sixteen Candles at least once a year…ok…maybe it’s more like once a month.  He was a fabulous director and his legacy will live on in his movies.

Chicago honors Gay Veterans

A WTG to Chicago for manning up and honoring some of our gay military veterans.  There are approximately 65,000 gays in the military and about 2 people a day are discharged for being gay.  Kudos to Chicago for honoring these American heroes and to all of the other LBGT service men and women out there.  We salute you and thank you for your service.  As the video points out, Obama can repeal the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy with the stroke of his pen.

Yet another Tumblog for the Bored…this one is HAIR themed!

Don’t have many deep thoughts about this blog except that it’s totes worth a peek.  There are some true gems…like “Crappy” hair for those who are fond of shaving words and images into their hair-do’s (Yes Seanathan, I’m talking to you sweet broseph).  To quote Martha, “It’s a Good Thing”.  Enjoy my funions.

GO WEST, young man…

(via Buzzfeed)

For as long as I can remember, I’ve liked guys who are 26.  From the age of 13 when I was jail bait and to my grave, that’s just what I’ve been attracted to and will always be attracted to.  I feel like Wooderson from Dazed and Confused, “I get older, they stay the same age”.  I’ll come out of the closet…I’m a cougar.  I may not count as a cougar yet in years but recognizing the fact that I will always love 26 year old men means I know I’m going to be one…sooner rather than later.  Totes.  Frankly, the whole “cougar” name thing is bullshit.  Dudes of all ages have been loving on young ladies FOR ALL OF HISTORY and don’t get called names.  Why is it always the lady folk who get the ugly nicknames and have to parade around town wearing the scarlet letter?  If a young lady goes after an older grandpa with some sheckles to spare, she gets called a gold digger…but if a dude goes after a grandma who’s a ringer for Demi Moore, he’s doing the community a service and gets high-fives from his fellow dudes.  Ladies, I am NOT hating.  And if you’re a young menthz who is out of work and maybe looking for a little sugar and a little funding, get thee to Silicon Valley for the National Cougars Convention August 24-30th.  Even if you’re not broke and just a pretty young thing who’s looking for an older model who’s worked some of the quirks out…who knows what she wants and how to get it…who has an eye for the finer things and can afford them for herself, get thee to Silicon Valley!  Times are tough and this is a lovely way to meet some older ladies who have their ish together.  Go get your grove on and, ladies, don’t settle!  Go on and get yours!

Philanthropist lost $1.9 Million

\”I wouldn\’t piss on him if he was on fire\”

Guy who ripped my parents off gets 100 years!

Would have liked the 400 years he was up for but this will do.  Unfortunately, they and may other families just like them are still out all the money he stole from them.  And unlike the Madoff victims, they don’t get 1/2 million in insurance money to tide them over.  It’s been over two years and they haven’t seen a dime.  Most of the assets are trapped in bankruptcy court and being bled dry by lawyers fees.  Hopefully my parents and many of the other victims of this criminal will see at least some restitution.  Today they can at least celebrate that this man is behind bars and will be for quite sometime.

Maybe I should become a busker!

I suspected that panhandling made a killer income but had no idea it paid this good.  $150 a day!  That’s WAY more than I get on unemployment.  I have seen some creative signs from the beggars recently-like the guy outside Yankee stadium who said he needed money to get drunk and have sex with women (which begs the question, why does he need to be drunk to have sex with women?  Either he’s gay…in which case, he’s really taking a strange path…or he means that he needs money to get women drunk…in which case, isn’t it easier to just get a prostitute?  Either which way, I’m not really down with funding date rape or homeless sex).  I’ve toyed with the idea of making a sign of my own: “Unemployed white girl who doesn’t want to be a lawyer anymore and needs money to buy drinks to forget the last 6 years, buy her favorite pastries, and take advantage of some of these AWESOME airfares.”  Something tells me I won’t be as successful…unless I take my top off.
There are so many things going on in this story that it blows my mind.  First, the idea that young kids are suddenly hopping on freight trains, all On the Road style, and trekking all the way to NYC for better heroine and deeper begging pockets boggles the mind.  But the idea of these kids flooding the city to beg for shekels and benefits kind of turns my stomach…in a Glenn Beck sort of way.  The good news is that the teams of young hipster hobos flooding into Williamsburg will finally give the area some much needed street cred! They were almost there with  the roving gang of machete wilding hooligans that came through a few months ago but the new Hooverville theme is sure to push them over the edge.  They’ve traded ironic t-shirts for ironic signs, the grunge look for actual grunge, and condos paid for by mommy and daddy for luxury developments paid for by Magic Johnson.  I can’t wait to see the hobo version of lookatthisfuckinghistper.com-it’s going to be kick ass.  The other nice thing is that being a hobo in NY doesn’t cramp your sex life.  There’s a legless man in a wheelchair who begs on the corner of 56th and 2nd.  As some of his regulars know, he has not one but TWO girlfriends…and they are large and in charge.  Perhaps that’s the real reason NYC is such an attractive place for these Jr. Hobos…good drugs, free housing, and women who will fuck anything.  Maybe that should be the new city slogan.
I can’t wait or the Mad Max high-larity to ensue!  I see an AMAZING movie in the works with Magic Johnson as the broke super who has to live in his own development to clear out the gangs of heroine addicted Drugstore Cowboy style mid-western kids who are trashing up the hood.
Speaking of Glenn Beck, if this is what his comedy show is like, I’m suddenly interested!  Dlisted is TOTALLY right-I want his squeal at 3:39 as my ring tone!  Kills me every time.  I can’t wait for the auto-tune version.
