A Homo Says What?

I understand that showing food on TV commercials is to remind you to pick up the ever delicious Swanson Dinner, Post Cereal, or whatever preservative loaded snack that is fattening up our children.
I also learned long ago that strange concoctions are used to make food look more appealing. Like a white glue mixture used in place of milk to appear more appealing whilst poured over a bowl of Raisin Bran. Ice Cream is often scoops of mashed potatoes covered in motor oil instead of chocolate syrup. Even the steam coming off of a hot dish is a hidden smoking cigarette.
I can accept all this, because they want to make things look irresistible to us and of course, to buy it. However I cannot quite grasp the way that eggs are portrayed.
I don’t mean hard boiled, but they way I prefer to have mine prepared, those sunny side up beauties I can’t wait to dip my toast into. These are almost always under cooked, RUNNY, SLIMY, and not at all something that I want to eat. So I have some questions for the folks over at Eggland’s Best.If commercial food is made to appeal to us, to the point we jump up, run to the kitchen, and fix ourselves the exact dish we just saw on the screen. Or dash to the local grocer’s to buy some Mr’s Paul’s fishsticks. ( Do you like fish sticks?) Then why do we accept that undone eggs look scrumptious and some thing that we would partake of?
Sunny side up eggs seems to be the most shown types of “cooked” eggs in commercials and the most disapointing in my eyes. I often shout out loud during these ads “Salmonella!”, and am amazed that anyone see’s that and says, “yum”. Sorry i just don’t get it. Yuck! Gross! Ughhh!
Ok I guess I have ranted enough. I think I want to eat now. I think I may stick with some veggies until these images are out of my head.
Love ya for reading,

Okay I haven’t written since the first one, I promise to get better at keeping up on this blog, and help to keep my partner off my back.
Now when I started this blog I did not expect to have to change the name to “A Fat Faggot Says Nothing, cuz’ he is too busy eating blog….”
Back in January of 2008 I weighed 170 pounds. In April of the same year I quit smoking, of which I am so glad and proud of myself. By August, a mere four months later I was weighing in at a hefty 210. Oh yeah! Two-hundred and ten giant mother fudging pounds!!
Now it is October and I have only gained another 5 pounds since August.
I have never weighed this much, and it is very depressing. It does shit for the way I feel about myself. I do understand that one does gain weight after quitting smoking, and my doctor even said that I should’nt worry about the weight gain right away,as it can cause people to start smoking again. I can relate to that,but not accept it.
The other problem is getting motivated to start doing anything about it. Which is something alot of us have problems doing.
The only thing I can say is that I must start doing something fast cuz’ I aint gettin’ no younger!
I’ll write again about this, and maybe that will help to get the ball rolling.
Thanks for reading, I’m not sure I would.

Trying to figure out what I was going to post first on my new blog was a real challenge. I wasn’t sure if I should explain or even if I had the answer to why I started blogging now after I had been podcasting for almost four years.Why should I want to write a blog?I’m not even good at writing.
Yet here I am and here you are reading it,and asking yourself why I would call it “A Homo says What?”
Cause I’m a homo saying what.Or at least I’m saying something from a gay man’s point of view.Although I do hope as a reader you will come to know that gay is only one part of me so I say that this blog will be from a man that happens to be gay who has an opinion on everything.
Enjoy!
Am I supposed to sign a blog?
sincerely,
