The Weekend Round-Up: Death, gay fever, sex, sports and more!

*See welcome note below this post.

This past weekend sure had it's ups and downs.

The world lost a pair of legends late last week in Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. These two could not have been more different, especially in the eyes of the public. FF was a blonde beauty who seemed to have a somewhat 'normal' life for a Hollywood starlet. She will be remembered for her beauty, pose and that heart twisting documentary about her path to the grave. Jacko on the other hand was well respected for changing the music scene with his trademark dance moves and exceptional voice. But, let's be real...this guy was fucked up. Black or white? Child molester or child provider? Many questions need to be answered but if he is remembered for his music, which he should be, then he had an amazing career cut short. But, it's a negative world out there and there will always be people who will remember some of his screwed up decisions and fall from grace. Poor bastard, it truly is a sad ending to one of the best performers and most influential people of all time.

Gay Pride - Fun For Everyone

This past week in Toronto, Canada was Pride week. Considered one of the biggest gay festivals in the world, people from around the globe descend on Toronto for a week full of parties. It concluded yesterday with the huge parade. Not being a full supporter of over the top, flamboyant gay activity, I still must say that this is one of the greatest parties in the world and fun for just about anyone. Gays, lesbians, trangender, straight, adults, children...everyone is out for a good time, including hundreds of straight, smoking hot women. Bars extended their drinking licences until 4am and this festival is a time to take a day to step out of your element and enjoy something truly exotic and different. Cheers to gay people around the world for definitely knowing how to put on a great party. But who exactly is going to be cleaning up the streets?

Week 2 - Garbage Strike

That brings us to the lazy-ass, public working dirt bags who are holding this city hostage by being on strike. This includes the suspension of garbage removal, ferry rides to the T.O. islands and many other public services. Unions are bull shit...period. Union workers don't know how good they have it especially in this economic crisis. For fucks sake, I wouldn't be able to get a job right now selling my body to a group of gay gang bangers for a penny. The garbage issue in particular makes the city look bad to tourists and upsets everyone living here. It's a joke. Get back to work you clowns before we bombard you with used condoms from Pride week.

SEX - the impact on a new relationship

Have you ever been dating someone and everything is going well, then you sleep with them? What happens then? Obviously everyone who has had sex, loves it (or you should and if you don't you have major issues) but is it possible that sex can end a relationship that is in the early dating stages? I think it's usually inevitable. When you start datingf someone, men - we try so hard. Buy this, buy that. Laugh here, laugh there. Thinking about your next move at all times. What is your end goal? Girlfriend? A no strings attached partner? Marriage? It's all bull shit. You want to get laid. End of story. I would go as far as saying it takes a solid 2, 3 even 4 months before a guy is mentally committed to a relationship beyond the sexual aspect. If the sex is good and it's with a cool girl then things will continue. But, if the sex is bad in the beginning I guarantee that most men will end things with that female...no matter what. As men, we do like the chase. If a guy says he hates the chase, he's lying. As bad as it may sound, we like to feel like we've accomplished something. That's how we are. Sorry ladies, but it's true. This DOESN'T mean that a guy doesn't truly like the gal, but it is still a conquering feeling once you have had sex with a girl you're dating. The pro to having sex early is that you will find out right away if there is that sexual chemistry that every good relationship needs. The con of having sex early is the risk that the male, or even female, will be missing out on that sexy, mysterious "chase", which in the end makes good sex, great sex. It also gives more potential to a relationship blossoming. It's a fine line, but ladies, if you're interested in a long term boyfriend I recommend taking more than a date or two before sleeping with him. Don't be a whore and don't be a prude...it's that fine line you need to be aware of. Sorry to cock block you men out there, but you'll appreciate the chase in the long run.

Sports Round-Up

The NBA draft was last Thursday. No surprise to see Blake Griffin go #1 to the LA Clippers. Reports indicate Ricky Rubio (5th overall) may not join Minnesota this season. Toronto took DeMar DeRozan who scouts say has the most potential in the draft. He should step right into the Raps rotation. VC to Orlando. Shaq to Cleveland...wow. I definitely recommend anyone with Twitter to follow Ron Artest's tweets. Hilarious.

The NHL draft was Friday night. Another no surprise at #1 - John Tavaras heads to the Island. Hedman at 2, Duschene at 3. A lot of talk but no trades.
Important date this week - FREE Agency starts July 1st. Enjoy the action.

Top Movie of the Weekend

TRANSFORMERS 2 -what male wouldn't pay $10 to see Megan fox run around in a tank top and booty shorts? Can you say hottest women in Hollywood? As the famous Lloyd Christmas quote says "Suck me sideways."
Perch Song of the Day: Katy Perry - Waking up in Vegas

Quote of the Day: Ron Artest - "King of Pop, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays...bad week to be black, female, or have a beard. Oprah better watch her step."

Thumbs Up - Thumbs up to the much anticipated Bruno movie for cutting out the scene mocking the Jackson family. Deep down Sacha Baron Cohen is a class act!

Thumbs Down - Thumbs down to Michael Jackson's father. AT the BET Awards on Sunday night he took the time on the red carpet to promote his record label/company. Are you fucking kidding me you selfish, greedy, asshole.

Thanks for dropping by.

  1. Davy Boy, couldn't agree more about that women need to walk a tightrope between sluttiness and prudeness. Too much in one direction and they are getting left in the dust early either way. It's just the way it is. They have to work in the 42-58% middle to make things work.
