Andy looks tough (maybe), but put him in the spotlight and he'll giggle. Not
often I get to see him up in a ladder, so I #snap whenever I get a chance.

Fucked Up is the name of one of the most incredible Hardcore band rocking everywhere these days. I don't listen to a ton of hardcore, but I know one thing: front man Damian Abraham AKA "Pink Eye", is a woofy, scary (in a hot way) heterobear.

I've been compiling information about a new classification of straight men called heterobears... essentially the fat and furry version of the metrosexual. Heterobears don't have to have fashion sense or be feminist, though a lot of them like to color match, or at least try.  I'll save the actual description for its own post, but one key part of being a heterobear is that you have to be tagged by a gay bear to be one. Until then, a heterobear may never realize his own hotness on his own, and is just a tubby straight dude. There's a lot more to this, but lets get back to Damian.

Damian is a seriously oggleable piece of beef, and he makes it real easy to see. He has a habit of stripping down, mooning the crowd, and exposing his "mangina" in the middle of his shows... I won't post a pic of his mangina (cause its creepy) but I bet you get the picture.  I've read a bunch of interviews about him, and you wouldn't believe that this forehead cutting, screaming, crowd surfing rocker took up Gender Studies in school. He's seriously smart and I dig his style...

Speaking of style, he's a big fan of Mishka, and the boys at the Bloglin managed to get him for five questions. You should definitely read it, and pay attention to question 4:

4. You’re known for getting near naked or completely naked during your live sets… is it a purely confrontational aspect of the performance or are you making a statement? I think it is more of a comfort thing. I take off my shirt because I get hot. I’m 300 pounds and when I’m moving around under those lights I get heated like a motherfucker. For years I was ashamed of my body: like I would leave my shirt on during sex ashamed. But at one show in Texas, I got so hot that I couldn’t bear it and I took off my shirt. After the show, a friend of mine (who is a “bear” ) told me how great I looked without my shirt and that was all the push I needed. I guess now there is an element of statement to it, like: be proud of who you are no matter what you look like, but that was secondary.  The moons and “mangina” stuff is a part of performance. Shoving my balls between my legs is not comfortable in the least.

There you have it. According to my new theory, Damian is an official heterobear for owning his bearlike qualities, and he has real bear friends. He's from Toronto, of course he has bear friends... If you like Hardcore or wanna take a dip on the wild side, go pick up "The Chemistry of Common Life."

John bought Resident Evil 5 today, and he's on a rampage to cross 20K in his
gamerscore. I think he heard there's a special boyfriend achievement you
unlock... we will just have to see. #snap (PS. The BF's XBox Live gamertag
is Scrant0, friend him up you gaymers.)

"You are never bitter, deceptive, or petty." OMFG, its like it was written

The Subway Gangsta Woof Edition. #snap

After a dip around the Inner Harbor, Paper Moon is the best place to go for
a bit of Nom. Scranto's beard is looking mighty full and tasty... I plan on
nibbling later... its like floss. #snap

This cubbie sat near me on the plane and I managed to snap a covert mugshot
as we were offloading... cute guy but a bit of a ButtaAss... you know: "
Nice body, face, buttaAss he ain't got." #snap

Just overheard a mom say "they have the no coloring light on" to her kid...
I really love these short flights. I can zone out for 45 minutes and
Baltimore is so peaceful to land in. Next stop: Bmore. #snap

I'm not really allowed in these parts after dark.... but its ok at around
4pm... I just gotta look like I'm hood. That's easy right? #snap
