The gay blogsphere is obsessed with two subjects. Madonna and Jake -- offering such conflicting emotions I'm not sure what to do about it.
Point blank -- I really don;t give a shit about Madonna. Not to say some of the early music isn't great -- and I did see a show at the Garden that was pretty good a few years ago (a friend worked for her so we were in the 10th row) but honestly -- most of you obsess about her in a way that should be reserved for UFC superstars.
First -- she is a Cruise-azy Kabbalah nut -- read Aatombomb to learn more. Plus -- she abandoned our country to become an annoying fake brit. And the whole Brittany kiss thing? Cloying.
I should admit that some of my animosity comes from a Christmas Eve dinner I was at with her years ago where she was rude and dismissive after she sat down on a sofa with my friend Eric and I. We were talking to Gabe and she sat down -- interupted and ignored us! Remember -- with me it's always personal.
Now let's get to Jake. Jake is the greatest actor in history. Jake is the cutest guy in history. Jake is in Brokeback Mountain which is going to make me cry when I go see it. I can't wait. All gay blogs should focus on Jake all day everyday.
Also -- I ran into Jake on 22nd and 10th a few weeks ago and I swear -- he smiled at me. He totally loves me more than you (and yes Chad -- more than you too.)
So remember Jake = Good. Madonna = Bad.
Do the math.
Hey I kinda like the new format for Thought Not. Light news and lighter gossip with a personal spin (read that as shameless name dropping which you are oh so good at)with shorter and pithier entries. They even lend themselves to your refusal to use spell check and your abysmal grammar.
Kisses

I'll have to plead guilty as charged with the Madonna obsession. (I do enjoy her new single.) I do agree that her obsession with Kabbahlah is creepy...it's like she's become a raving fundie these days. And not to mention her pathological need to have a movie career. (IMHO she should have quit while she was ahead with "Evita.")

Thoughtnot = Stupid
Oliver = Yawn

I agree Madonna is overated. But like her nonetheless. The new album she has coming out sounds promising but won't be close to as cool as the new Mode album - it rocks. Oliver, you're going to have to fight me on Jake.

I am with you! There can never be enough Jake. That boy is too great for words.
