First and foremost: The word "Oktoberfist" is just...bad. And wrong. And...bad. I'm not judging the...players?...I'm just saying...Reading that makes my eyeballs hurt.
Second: Just because someone responds appreciatively to a nice greeting such as, "hey, great profile; you seem pretty cool," does not mean it is okay to immediately respond with either asking,"what are you into?", or a picture of one's self that would make even...well, me...cringe.
Third: Chatting does not = marriage. IMing with a guy for a couple weeks back and forth does not give one the right to be jealous if the other one has actual real live people to spend time with. It also does not mean that the involved parties are planning to wed and have a million gay babies. Chill out.
Fourth: "Hanging out" does not always entail nekkid olympics.
Fifth: "Friends" sometimes means just that - friends. And sometimes, that means there's no sexual tension, no crude innuendos, and no questions such as "how hung are you?" exchanged.
Sixth: Do we all have to be so passive agressive? If you're pissed, be pissed and say so. If you're hurt, be hurt and say so. Strap on a pair, men - aren't we supposed to be pre-equipped with those accessories?
Seven: I know from personal experience that it's not the hetero homo-haters we have to watch out for - it's our own group. WTF? If you don't like something or someone, don't like them. But not liking someone or something is not a valid reason to crap all over it/them or react violently to it/them. Get a grip and ask yourself: is that really harming me? Or if you're going to respond negatively to it, at least say that this is what *you* think. This is what *you* feel.
Eight: one of the greatest and most unique things about the LGBT community in general is that it's so fluid; we don't have to conform to any group/lable/ideal that we don't want. There will always be someone who appreciates who you are and what you do. And there will always be someone who does not. Honestly, isn't it just easier to be who you are and live and let live? If you want to be a fag, queer, sissy, slut, "str8", bi, "fluid", butch, dyke, bitch, queen, just do it. You're the one that has to look at your reflection, not anyone else.

along with the $.40 I spent on copying the DVD. I just watched The Grudge 2 - I've only had it in my DVD Ripper wallet for about 6 months now.
Man, that movie sucked. I know a lot of people hated the first one too, but jeeze...this was so much worse. It was like a parody of itself. I'm so... nah, I can't even pretend to be surprised.
At what point did directors/writers/actors decide to kill the Horror Genre? Was there some unspoken rule that was made up that from henceforth all "scary" movies must be...well, stupid? They're so caught up in impressing audiences with special effects and pulse-pounding surprises that there's no story any more, no real reason to be truly scared. Like everything else in this 21st century, audiences want to be instantly gratified. They want that 2 second thrill you get when you see a nail shoot through someone's finger. The lingering "what ifs" just aren't there anymore. Is it too much to ask to want to be too scared to sleep alone with the lights off again? Is it too much to give me one good scene that will replay itself over and over in my head causing me to cringe - not in disgust, but in terror? Even lame old Michael Myers had his own schtick - he just doesn't die. Like Jason, and Freddy, and all the old stand bys, we know their rules and the proper ways around them. Their rules are what make them scary, because we can understand it. There are no rules anymore. Today's "monsters" are asian chicks making bong noises, maniacle hitchhikers with no real reason to terrorize, and evil ventriloquists.
What happened to good old fasioned "sweet jesus, did he just suck that guy's face off through his fingers?" horror? Where is today's Needful Things? Where are today's Critters? Where's our IT?
You just know Hitchcock is rolling over in his grave with every new relased trailer.
