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,

OK, moving backwards through the show:
The Kristine W song was awesome! You know, she was here in Pgh last December and performed at Spark, the Delta Foundation fundraiser. Thx for playing it. Already added it to my “always on my ipod” playlist.
Why is coffee doing porn reviews? I think he is pretty funny, but these suck (pun not intended). Really there is no value to his reviews at al, but he is entertaining.
G’s therapy session time: Girlfriend, get a grip! You are a youngster compared to some of us, and yes, as you get older, you can wonder what your life adds up to. But the truth is, that no matter what your age, it is never too late to start to do what you want to do. So, just do it. And I think the idea of remixes on line sounds awesome! But I have to tell you, the stuff at the end of the show about having musicians on, and it was too much work to make sure they were coming in, and stuff…. if you want to get famous- be G-G (is that close enough to Ga-Ga?) you are going to have to want to really work! Although the Buddhist in me wants to add that our human suffering is caused by the expectations we hold- like what we should have accomplished in our life for it to have been meaningful. Hell, I’d say if even 1 queer teenager who lives in the middle of rural anywhere, finds your show and gets some hope that there is a life of happiness for queers, you have done more than enough.
FriendFeed and Social Media. I signed on to Friend Feed a long time ago, but it never really seemed to offer me much utility. Between Google Reader and Twitter, I was able to follow folks just fine. There was a podcast (still is, but I don’t think they are actively recording anymore called- I don’t remember what it was called, I deleted it from my iTunes. anyway, they were a bunch of geeks that though Friend Feed was awesome, and were freaking out when Facebook bought Friend Feed.
BTW, I do scroll through on Twitter and Facebook a few times a day and at least scan the headline of what my friends are posting/saying. I don’t read everything, but I do sort of scan. I’m also spending more time on Twitter talking back and forth with specific people. To hold real conversations (albiet 140 characters at a time.) I do that on Facebook too. I was never big on Myspace. I thought it was ugly and juvenile.
I don’t expect to dig into Google Buzz. I’m already busy enough with Twitter and Facebook. Ands no, I don’t think MySpace is going to have a real resurgence. But isn’t Myspace still the choice for Junior High students?
One thing I like about Friend Feed is there are none of those shit games and time wasters, like mob shit and farms , and vampires- the stuff that seems to be eating Facebook alive. But it is too hard to really “use” to communicate with someone, so even though there are no farms and shit, I doubt it’s popularity is going to rise again.
Let me know when your remixes go up- ok G?
I would love to be a guest on your podcast!
I am a really good youtuber!
S’up fellas, another great show. Gee hope you’re feeling better you seemed to perk up when giving the Gay test! (I failed, I’m straight) but Jen and I loved the presentation. Freindfeed and MySpace are losers for me. Facebook and Twitter are enough for someone with a job etc. How can I follow a comment like the encyclopedia before me…see ya
So my friend Mike Andrews introduced me to your show today. I’m listening to #187 right now and I’m having trouble remaining serious for the rest of the day… and for that…. I thank you!
