I saw this image on Facebook and laughed so friggin’ hard, even though I had no clue what it was about. Now I do, and it’s even funnier.

Jonah Mowry Has Something to Say

An update by Jonah Mowry, the video’s creator:
To all my friends and supporters,
I made this video 4 months ago just before school was about to start. I was 13. It was a very emotionally dark time in my life. I made the video at 4:00am in the morning; I hadn’t been sleeping at night for a long time, too many things going on in my head. I was dreading going back to school and I had not come out to my family yet. Only my closest friends knew. I didn’t know how to say what I needed to say. All I could think about were all the bad things that had been happening at school last year, every year for that matter. I just couldn’t bare to go through that anymore. I was done being fake happy, pretending hateful words didn’t hurt, done hiding it from my family. (continue reading…)
That cake is done.

Three young siblings from Mexico are attracting heavy attention for their cover of Adele’s thumping pop anthem, “Rolling in the Deep,” to the tune of nearly 3 million YouTube pageviews in just 12 days.
Siblings Angie, Gustavo and Abelardo Vazquez — known as VazquezSounds — uploaded the video Nov. 10. Aside from netting massive pageviews, the video has helped the band’s recently created YouTube channel break into the top 40 most-subscribed channels for musicians in Mexico with 24,000 subscribers.
VazquezSounds has been featured on Good Morning America, CNN en Español and other media outlets.
Here’s a breakdown of each sibling’s age and musical talent, which is on display in the above video:
- Angie: 10, vocals
- Gustavo: 13, drums
- Abelardo: 15, piano, guitar and bass
VazquezSounds is one of many in a long list of musicians who have covered Adele’s smash hit.

Draw a Stickman
I’m a 57-year-old man. Fat. Bald. I have a wife I like. And a boyfriend I love.
by Locke on Oct.17, 2011, under Romance & Relationships
Excerpted here:
I’m a 57-year-old man. Fat. Bald. I have a wife I like. And a boyfriend I love. I’ve been “happily” married for over 37 years. Yet I’ve been leading a secret double life since I turned 50. In the age of Lady Gaga and her mainstream kink videos, a married man in love and having sex with another man is one of the final taboos. I used to think that myself. Nobody talks about it. There aren’t books or movies about it. It’s the ultimate closet. What I’ve learned in these past few years is that men, even married men, can fall in love with men. A “bromance” can naturally involve touching and it’s completely normal. This is what men have been doing since the start of time, and what men are made to do.Full-text, here:

V1R4L is a tumblr to drive traffic to viral and guerrilla marketing initiatives, web trends, interesting fads and crazes and general internet tom foolery. In fact, our only rule for posts is that they have to be interesting. The categories to the right enable us to shelve posts by interest, but you certainly don’t have to submit ideas that fit neatly into one of those groups. If it’s interesting, we want to hear about it.
