why is this news?

ok so I am not a huge gay activist bc I think "pride" festivals just set us back in the eyes of un-accepting views. Seriously why is this news...as I was looking over youtube videos I found a site that had interviews from gay and pro gay celebs for the 2007 GLADD awards. I am wondering why this made national news...two women kissing because they are in love....GASP!

I want this

so if you don't know...I love 2 things, Owls and Robots. Here is a robot owl that hooks up to your USB drive and is the most amazing thing ever. You know you wanna buy 2 of these and give one to me :)



This little guy is about $25.00 from GeekAlerts

Monday, June 16, 2008

at least I am not the only one

so for those of you who were in "Forum" or know about the infamous "belt scene" this is just a testament to what can go wrong on stage....and the fact that the audience LOVES actors who can't contain it when other actors completely drop character. Enjoy...this is Hilarious!



If you didn't know its from "putting it together" where they taped the final Broadway show...wait until Carol Burnett stops the show....remember back Forum people!!!

Wall Ball Theatre

People often ask me “when did you know you were gay?” my response “when did you know you were straight?” There was never a part of my life that I questioned my sexuality. When boys were hiding under the steps of the jungle gym trying to get a peek up a little girls skirt, I was on top of the jungle gym looking at the boys laying there. It was kind of a vicious circle. Most of my friends growing up were girls. I was really never into anything that the boys were into….except wall ball. I would kill any one at wall ball.

Cut to second grade on the playground

“I think you are cheating….I’m telling!”

“What are you gonna tell? Teacher, teacher Jon is cheating at wall ball! How can I cheat…its throwing a ball against a wall…there are no cards to hide, there are no dice to rig, there are no chips to steal. I think you are an idiot!”

“I’m telling….you called me a word I don’t know”

“Yeah that will go over well….teacher, teacher Jon called me word I don’t know!”

“What was the word Jon?” the teacher would ask

“all I said is that he is worse than president Bush.” I would say

“well what were you doing?”

“accusing him of cheating.”

“well then…” that’s all she said, she then turned and I could hear her calling to another teacher “shit so I have a liberal pre-teen in my class!”

“HA HA I win again!” I would say before I stuck out my tongue and ran off to catch a glimpse of the cute little boys.

What people should ask me is when did you first get into theatre? I can talk forever about that. I didn’t want to be in theatre starting off. I wanted to be in a band. My father was in the Air Force rock band when I was a teen. They would do this “drug-free” show, when I look back at it I can’t believe how cheesy it was but I thought I was the shit.

“my dad is the drummer” I would tell a cute boy

“want to be my friend?” says the boy

“sure, but you have to give me something” I would get a new cute friend, and a new toy…kill two of those fucking birds with one stone!

Some of the best times of my life were sitting back stage at one of his concerts. They would always get a big celebrity to come in and do a cameo or what not. I met so many people that way: Reba, Brian Setser..but not his Orchestra, and L.L. Cool J…just to name a few.

*note- if you can name drop, do. It will only make you seem

cooler than you actually are.

I would sit on a speaker, or a really big fog machine, or anything I could and watch as my dad played his heart out for thousands of screaming kids.

“DRUG FREE…..WAY TO BE!”

I didn’t audition for my first real play until I was a Freshman in High school. I didn’t know I could sing until then. I remember going to auditions and singing the Alma Matter. The director stopped me and said

“where the hell did you come from?”

“I came from tabor middle school…sir” Since this was my 1st audition I didn’t know that most directors actually talk to you…I thought I would go in sing and read the next day that I didn’t make it into the show.

But I made it. I was the only freshman to make it into the one-act play that year. Evidently at my school no freshman has ever made it into One-Act since that kid that played Michael Jackson in the Jackson movie. You know…the one that they play on VH1 all the time. He plays the Michael that got his hair burned off.

Cut to the fist rehearsal for “Damn Yankees” (my first show)

“you must think you are tough shit eh freshman?” said the lead actor guy(he didn’t make it as a freshman)

“ummm….well no. I didn’t know what I was doing. I just sang”

“well here, I am the best. If you try to take anything away from me I will kill you.”

I have come to realize that theatre can be extremely vicious

“uhhhh….alright. I wouldn't take anything from you.”

“you got that right! I am better than you, there is nothing that you do that I can’t do 20 times better”

“I could kick your ass in wall ball”

I win. During the show that ass hole fell into the pit and broke his arm. I was the fist one to look in the pit and see him clutching his bleeding arm and crying.

“now can you beat me?”

Class Schedule

I typed out my schedule all pretty but the blog messed it up.

DAMN BLOG!

Queer Stigmata

a little info on the following stories. I, at one time wanted to write a book, here are the stories that I had for it...everything actually happened but I may have stretched the truth a little :) this is my Favorite one...so start with my fav, they will only get worse from here!

"Queer Stigmata"

I used to give blood. In High School we would give blood like twice a year. When I was finally of age I gave blood. I was so mad at the question sheet you had to answer before giving blood. I was fine until I got to this.

16. Are you a Homosexual?

17. If yes have you had same sex, sex?

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

How horrible is that. So in the yes/no box next to “are you queer” I checked YES. Next to the box that said “have you fucked a man in the ass?” I checked NO………but I wrote in: “so what if I have? Is that such a bad thing?” and drew 2 boxes and above one I wrote YES above the other I wrote No. I got In School suspension(ISS) for this………but I didn’t go. I said that If they were going to send me to ISS then I would go the school board and tell them that this school was saying that just because I was gay that I could not give blood………and I had answer 30 questions in order to give blood so the least they could do was answer 2 of mine. I didn’t have to go to ISS.

Cut to me laying in the chair waiting to give blood.

I laid there and watched the tiny white woman prepare to stick me with a needle that I didn’t know where had been. It wasn’t wrapped. I told her that I wanted a different needle but she said it was clean

“count from 1 to 5 and on 5 the needle will go in.”

“1, 2, OW SHIT! I was only on 2!”

“well its in”

“no………take it back out. You said it would be on 5, take it back out and do it on 5”

“do you really want me to make another hole in your arm?”

“………true”

so I laid there and watched the blood drain out of my body. That is a freaky thing. Something that is supposed to be inside you is being sucked out

cut to the 2nd time I gave blood

This time I checked YES to the question “ever screw a guy?” I hadn’t but I said I did………just to see what happened. They said I couldn’t give blood. My original threat came back. I got to give blood again. They were saying how much they needed blood, and making a big fuss about giving………they must not want a queers blood. Fear of transplanting the gay virus I guess. So there I was. Back on the ugly blue chair. Waiting for a large black woman I have never met shove a metal sliver into my vein.

“count to 5, on 5 I will put the needle in.”

“last time I did this she went on 3”

“oh yeah”

“yeah………1, 2, 5”

“where was 3 and 4?”

“pain comes on 3 and 4 is useless”

“you’re in theatre aren’t you?”

“…..shut up”

“do you really want to be mean to the woman with a needle?”

“3! OW SHIT!!! Take it out take it out take it out!!!!”

“quit being a baby”

“TAKE THE FUCKING THING OUT RIGHT NOW!!!” if we were in a movie my head would be spinning and I would be spewing split pea soup all over her white smock with little pigs dancing on it. She took it out. She went through my Vein. The Needle went through my vein and she was yelling at me like it was my fault. Then I got the GREAT NEWS!!!

“this was my fist time.”

“well it wasn’t good for me! GO BACK TO SCHOOL!”

I never bruise. I don’t know why but I can get hit with a lead pipe and I wouldn’t bruise. But my arm was black and purple. I still hate her.

I was talking about it with my mom a while back………

Cut to us in the car driving by a blood donation place

“what happened to you? Why don’t you give blood anymore”

“you remember what happened last time” I was rubbing my arm

“oh when she made you cry?”

“I didn’t cry mom. My arm turned black because she pierced my vein.”

“who uses the word pierced besides talking about an ear?”

“It was black!”

“you are too dramatic”

I looked at my arm………there was a small red dot, as if I had just given blood.

“STIGMATA!”

That was not a fun time. I vow that I will never

give blood again. And you can quote my dramatic

ass on that one!

so i'm going to hell

I realized today, while I was at orientation, that I am going to hell. Well it was really on the way home that i came to the realization that I would be spending the rest of eternity burning in a fiery pit. Why you ask....i'm glad you do!

I make fun of people way too much, and keeping with the current trend I will discuss some of the "interesting" people I saw/met at my college orientation.

*guy with planter on his head- ok this guy actually looked like he was talking out of the house and decided he needed a hat...so what did he do? takes his moms fern out of the wicker basket and wears it as a hat...YEAH!

*many guys wearing high-top converse shoes with shorts and black socks - I don't know if this is the new "trend" thing to do but c'mon people...REALY?!

*the preacher - we got a lecture about how you can't really succeed in college life without Jesus. Now I love Jesus and all but I really just wanted to stand up and say "I am Jewish...what now bit!?"

*orientation leaders - I think that they feed these students speed in the morning bc when we got there, at 7am mind you, they were jumping up and down and screaming...and it lasted ALL DAY!

*people in Red VSU shirts - this is kind of a continuation of the above mentioned group but seriously...everyone in a damn red shirt was happy.

*my dad - he fell asleep during the opening crap and started snoring...BLAH!

these are just a few of the people i made fun of the whole day...it was fun to make fun of them but not fun to be there for this pointless orientation. There are coutless others but i would be typing for the rest of my life describing all of the morons here.

So friends what did we learn in todays bolg? Jonathan is going to hell!

BTW....I am going to post some of the stories I wrote a few years back bc I just now remembered them so I want your comments on them.

A REAL PLANET UNICORN!!!

The 10-month-old deer was born in captivity at the Centre of Natural Sciences, a nature reserve near Prato.

While single-horned deers have been spotted before, this particular buck has a uniquely central horn, thought to be the result of a genetic flaw.

"This is a demonstration that the fabled unicorn, which we all know from icons and legends, probably was not just a fantasy.

"It was probably an animal like this one, with a natural anomaly," said Gilberto Tozzi, the director of the centre.

Mr Tozzi added that the twin of the buck has two horns.

The mother of the two deer was brought to the park several years ago after being hit by a car in the Apennine mountains.

The mythical unicorn was thought to have healing powers and was generally depicted as a horse with the cloven hooves of a goat or deer.

The earliest mention of the beast was by the Greek historian Herodotus in the 5th century BC.

In one notebook, Leonardo Da Vinci suggested unicorns could be captured using a virgin as bait.

"For the love it bears to fair maidens [the unicorn] forgets its ferocity and wildness and laying aside all fear it will go to a seated damsel and sleep in her lap, and thus the hunters take it," he wrote.

Mr Tozzi said the Tuscan unicorn was also remarkably elusive.

"Our deer might be aware that he is a little different.

"He doesn't let himself be seen very often" he said.

He advised visitors to "arm themselves with binoculars and a lot of patience."

Last year, a hunter in Elma, New York, photographed a stag with a third horn protruding from the front of its head.

Interesting Youtube comment

As many of you know I trade recordings of Broadway shows on dvd. Everyone keeps asking me where I get them but basically its just a trading group on yahoo. Since I haven't been able to make any new Vlogs I have been taking the dvds that I have and uploading songs and stuff to my YouTube Account: http://youtube.com/user/somethingradical

I got a comment on a Gypsy revival video that I put up that said this: "this is extreemly illegal, you should take this down right now!!!"

I laughed my ass off bc look around YouTube...music videos, tv shows, movies, video games, concerts, all videos that we did not make ourself. interesting comment from someone that had uploaded all of these music videos that I am pretty damn sure they didn't make bc I am sure that this person is not in fact Avril or Snoop Dog.

we are all breaking the law in one way or another...get over it!
