SO EVERYWHERE THAT NOEL AND I GO WE GET ASKED IF WE ARE TWINS. NOW I KNOW PEOPLE SAY YOU START TO LOOK LIKE A PERSON WHEN YOU’VE BEEN TWOGETHER FOR WHILE, SO TELL ME DO YOU THINK NOEL I LOOK LIKE TWINS OR ALIKE @ ALL?

MONDAY MUSICAL MOTIVATION: STEREO HEARTS

The Benny Blanco-produced "Stereo Hearts" is the lead single from Gym Class Heroes' much-anticipated fifth album "The Papercut Chronicles II" - in stores in 2011 - "Stereo Hearts" is a collaboration with Adam Levine (of Maroon 5), it feels uplifting and summery, and overall it's a good track. The lyrics are the best! Loads of cool metaphors! I really dig this idea. Very consistent throughout the entire song. Funny thing though, I like much more the verses than the chorus. It's all about Travie! Welcome back Gym Class Heroes! And thanks for this jam!

"Stereo Hearts" by Gym Class Heroes Featuring Adam Levine is currently (week 44, 2011) in the HOT100 Billboard charts at position 6.

NOEL'S PLACE

Every inch of space I occupy is Noel’s place.
Everywhere I dare to stride is Noel’s place.
Everywhere I lay my head, everywhere I wrap my legs,
Everywhere I spread my legs, is Noel’s place.

Anywhere I shake my butt, anywhere I leave a thought,
Anywhere I leave a drop of blood,

Anywhere I conceive or
Delete is Noel’s place.

Anywhere I leave a footprint, a fingerprint, a body print,
An image, or a scent is Noel’s place...

And I'm talkin' history here.
Except for where penises bloom,

Sho’ me a space that's
Not Noel's place

And I'll show u where u lost yr mind.

OLDIE, BUT GOODIE: THE NIGHT HAS EYES

THIS BLOG ENTRY IS ABOUT THE MEN THAT SAID THEY WERE ‘STRAIGHT’ WITH THEIR MOUTHS, BUT THEIR ACTIONS & CURIOSITY SAID SOMETHING ELSE. FROM I KNEW ABOUT MY ‘GAY’ SELF, MEN THAT I’VE WORKED WITH ALWAYS FOUND A WAY TOTEASE OR PLAY AROUND WITH ME. NOW I DON’T MIND THAT, BUT DO YOU THINK THEY KNOW THAT MEANS THE SEX THAT I HAVE IS SOMETHING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT? I KNOW MANYWOULD SAY, OH THEY ARE JUST BEING FRIENDLY, BUT LIVING IN THE SOCIETY I LIVE,THAT ISN’T AN OPTION! FOR IN THE BAHAMAS I WISH I COULD SAY THAT 1/10 ISCOMFORTABLE WITH HOMOSEXUALITY AMONG MEN BUT, IT IS MORE LIKE 1/1,000,000 ANDWE JUST UNDER 400,000 IN POPULATION. HOWEVER THIS BLOG ENTRY DOES MAKE ME SEEHOW THERE ARE GAY MEN OUT THAT DON’T HIDE THEMSELVES, THAT SORT OF PARADE THEMSELVES IN FRONT OF MEN THAT PRETEND TO HATE WHAT THEY THINK THEY ARE.

Gay men are the guardians of the masculine impulse. To have anonymous sex in a dark alleyway is to pay homage to the dream of male freedom. The unknown stranger is a wandering pagan god. The altar, as in pre-history is anywhere you kneel. Hence SAME-SEX PRONE MEN are creatures of habit, whether it’s work, play or something in between. We play with fire and LOVE the burn; it makes us feel as if we are on top of the world. We dangle on that bridge and leap off right before it falls staring the DEVIL in the eye. We live hard we play hard! AND WE ENTICE THOSE THAT WANT TO BE US, THOSE THAT WANT TO BE WITH US…THOSE THAT WANT TO KNEEL AT THE ALTAR BUT ARE TOO AFRAID TO ADMIT IT! I AM TALKIN ABOUT THOSE MEN THAT SECRETLY WANT TO HAVE THE HOLIST EXPERIENCE WITH ANOTHER MAN…but are conflicted by the world and their hearts.

¡WHEN THE GAME IS OVER, THE KING & THE PAWN GOES INTO THE SAME BOX!

I WILL PASS THIS ON...¿WILL YOU?

We all send thousands of jokes through e-mail without a second thought. We share stories about the ills of society. We allow the media to promote addictive substances, material things that don't support our communities and even degrade the people that are trying spread messages that are in the opposite direction of our oppression/personal suppression. We even strive to separate us from us by promoting products that do not support our people or uplift them. Is this shame? Is this our way of trying to have a brighter shine? Is this personal envy, jealously or hatred? Let's begin promoting things that we create from our substance, things that bring material to create/support the structure in our community and recognize the positive messages that we want to share without condemning each other for things that we do not agree upon. Let's really begin to spread the word.

¿ARE YOUR PANTS LYING TO YOU?

"I said, 'I do not fear those pants / With nobody inside them.' I said, and said, and said those words. / I said them. But I lied them."—Dr. Seuss

The devastating realization came in H&M. Specifically, in a pair of size 36 dress pants. I'd never bought pants at H&M before, and suddenly asked myself: how could a 36-inch waist suddenly be so damn tight?

I've never been slim — I played offensive line in high school — but I'm no cow either. (I'm happily a "Russell Crowe" body type.) So I immediately went across the street, bought a tailor's measuring tape, and trudged from shop to shop, trying on various brands' casual dress pants. It took just two hours to tear my self-esteem to smithereens and raise some serious questions about what I later learned is called "vanity sizing."

Your pants have been deceiving you for years.

The pants manufacturers are trying to flatter us. And this flattery works: Alfani's 36-inch "Garrett" pant was 38.5 inches, just like the Calvin Klein "Dylan" pants — which I loved and purchased. A 39-inch pair from Haggar (a brand name that out-testosterones even "Garrett") was incredibly comfortable. Dockers, meanwhile, teased "Leave yourself some wiggle room" with its "Individual Fit Waistline," and they weren't kidding: despite having a clear size listed, the 36-inchers were 39.5 inches. And part of the reason they were so comfy is that I felt good about myself, no matter whether I deserved it.

However, the temple for waisted male self-esteem is Old Navy, where I easily slid into a size 34 pair of the brand's Dress Pant. Where no other 34s had been hospitable, Old Navy's fit snugly. The final measurement? Five inches larger than the label. You can eat all the slow-churn ice cream and brats you want, and still consider yourself slender in these.

I enjoyed many of these pants, as I mentioned, but I'm still perturbed. This isn't the subjective business of mediums, larges and extra-larges — nor is it the murky business of women's sizes, what with its black-hole size zero. This is science, damnit. Numbers! Should inches be different than miles per hour? Do highway signs make us feel better by informing us that Chicago is but 45 miles away when it's really 72? Multiplication tables don't yield to make us feel better about badness at math; why should pants make us feel better about badness at health? Are we all so many emperors with no clothes?

The mind-screw of broken pride aside — like Humpty Dumpty, it cannot be put back together, now that you know the truth — down-waisting is genuine cause for concern. A recent report published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that men with larger waists were twice at risk of death compared with their smaller-waist peers. Men whose waists measured 47 inches or larger were twice as likely to die. Yet, most men only know their waist size by their pants — so if those pants are up to five inches smaller than the reality, some men may be wrongly dismissing health dangers.

But vanity waist sizing is so entrenched; it couldn't possibly be changed overnight, at least not without a government mandate. The only solution seems to be a gradual, year-by-year shaving of quarter-inch by quarter-inch until, in 2021, men's pants finally correspond with the label numbers — conveniently just in time for the New World Order's switch to mandatory full jumpsuits.

¿WHY A PERSONAL TRAINER IS MAKING HIMSELF OBESE...ON PURPOSE?

Today, I want to tell you about the opposite – a fit guy who is deliberately making himself fat. Since May, Drew Manning has gained about 70 pounds on purpose. And he’s not done yet.

Drew is a personal trainer and has always been the “fit guy.” He’s now on a journey he calls Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit where he spends six months (he has about 4 weeks left) eating  unhealthy food and not exercising, then he will take six more months to get fit again. Why? To experience for himself what it’s like to be overweight, how tough it is to lose weight, and ultimately show others how to get fit. But this is sooo extreme! And I hate that Drew is deliberately making himself unhealthy. I asked him all about it…

FatFighterTV: As someone who has always been fit, how can you stand doing this to yourself?

Drew Manning: It’s been very tough physically, mentally and emotionally to let myself go like this. The first couple of months were the hardest. I felt like I was going through withdrawals, just like any other addiction. I was jealous seeing people running, going to the gym, and being in shape.

FFTV: Are you concerned about your health?

DM: Yes, definitely. With a BP reading of 161/113 you can’t NOT be concerned. I haven’t felt in danger yet, but I still have 4 weeks left to go.  People tell me all the time to stop now, but I look at it like this…..if others can live years with these unhealthy risk factors, like high BP, glucose levels, cholesterol levels, triglycerides, etc. then I can last another 4 weeks. Plus I want to show people how living a healthy lifestyle can change all of those risk factors.

FFTV: Are you enjoying eating all those unhealthy foods?

DM: Yes and no. To some extent, all of these foods that I’m eating (sugary cereals, granola bars, juices, white breads, white pastas, sodas, crackers, chips, frozen dinners, mac n cheese, etc.) taste delicious. But then I feel like crap later on and I get hungry again and crave those same foods.

FFTV: You’ve gained about 70 pounds now since May – how do you feel?

DM: I’m to the point where I feel lethargic and uncomfortable. I definitely feel “addicted” to these foods. In the beginning, I did not like soda, but now I can’t go a day without, otherwise I’ll get the headaches, bad mood, etc.  Emotionally, it’s taken a toll on my confidence level, even in my marriage. I don’t like the way I look in public; nothing fits right; bending over to tie my shoes or clip my toe nails has become so difficult. I’ve definitely taken those things for granted.

FFTV: You mentioned that you want to gain an understanding of how hard it is to be overweight – what have you learned so far?

DM: I think the biggest thing I’ve learned is how intense and how real these food cravings are.  I think a lot of people associate the word “addiction” with drugs and alcohol, but I do believe this addiction (to America’s processed foods) is real and very similar. I know I’ll never know exactly what it’s like for every person that’s overweight and I don’t claim to, but at least I understand better than I did before when I never had to struggle with this. I hope to learn a lot more in the second half of my journey, from fat 2 fit.

I really hope Drew makes it through all this okay. You can follow his journey here.

CRISIS IN CAMEROON: STAND WITH ALICE

Alice N'Kom is one of the only attorneys in Cameroon who defends people who've been jailed for the "crime" of being gay. 

In the last few weeks, gay men have been snatched from their homes and public places and thrown in jail just for being gay. The situation is approaching a crisis and Alice  and her colleagues are ready to confront the President to demand the release of those arrested and an end to laws that make being gay a crime. But she needs the support of people around the world: 

"I need to show the president of Cameroon that the world is behind me". 

Please sign the urgent letter, then ask your friends and family to do the same. Alice and her colleagues are brave enough speak out, and it only takes a minute to add your voice and to make theirs even stronger.
