More professional athletes should become CK models. Seriously.

Need I say more?

That’s about all I know about him…sorry.

aaron: …
brosie: ok that sounds really bad

As with any blog, we get a million spam comments every day. Somewhere out there in the nthers of the internet (i.e. Russia or Czech Republic or something), some spammer is churning out these amazingly written spam emails/comments. You’d think that someone who can come up with the ingenious plan of making nice people who just want to share pics of hot boys and funny stories’ lives miserable would be able to write coherently. But, no…instead they sound like fucking idiots. This one arrived yesterday, and I laughed for a while:

Like, what the fuck? Be encouraged to do the work of the lord? Have they even looked at the blog (obviously not). I don’t think my pics of built guys in skimpy swimwear (read: basically no clothes at all) are exactly consistent with the lord’s work. Fucking retards. Anyways, here’s a pic of Micky Friedmann just because I can.

brosie: maybe i should start watching baseball.
aaron: yea… St Louis is really crazy about the Cardinals.
brosie: baseball guys are alright. swimmers and tennis players are way hotter, but baseball guys are alright.
aaron: [pause] you watch sports for an entirely different reason than the rest of us, don’t you?

Dude. Yes I know it’s 1am in the morning, but man this guy is just plain beautiful. The song’s not bad, it’s got a good beat, but his chorus gets old pretty fast. Go watch his video on mtv.com, goddamn he’s hot there. The remix with Pharrell is better.

See I’m a big drama movie kind of gay, so the Oscars is something that I follow closely…a yearly tradition for me. I know, you all are judging me because I follow that crap and it’s totally not based on whether it’s really a good movie or not and the Oscars totally has no real meaning in popular culture and Brokeback Mountain sucked ass and I don’t understand why you liked it anyway. Blah, blah blah. Well good movies and acting are rare and far in between, and I think good entertainers should be acknowledged. Brokeback Mountain was awesome in its own way. Just like Napoleon Dynamite was. So ha. Anyways, back to the Oscars…they announced a gay to host it so obviously I get excited! Thanks Advocate. I included a pic of her with Portia. Awww, so cute.

The heading for the article about him is “Gay and Israeli.” Apparently he’s done some “hard time in the Israeli army.” And he’s got his own website too.

I know, he gets way too much press already. But just look at him here.

for all you hygiene freaks out there, this post is for you. here is an article that i ran across a while ago with the most comprehensive information on the lost art of shaving. ironic that im posting this before brosie.

Ever since prehistoric man first scraped a seashell across his cheek so prehistoric woman would let him dance cheek-to-cheek, shaving has been a part of the male experience. But even with today’s high-tech razors, lots of men still get nicks, cuts, and razor burn. Today’s Tech Editor Corey Greenberg is here with the latest trend in male grooming that promises a better shave by going back to the old school.

brosie: I feel like all I know about medicine right now is surgery.
aaron: I feel like all I know about medicine right now is the female genitalia and little kids.
brosie: …

Adventures of brosie with a scanner. Grr.

Hey whoever’s out there,

I know we haven’t updated in forever. I blame it on a number of things, most importantly the fact that aaron and i started third year of medical school, and as a result anything that’s extraneous and takes away from our sleep time was dropped. That said, I’m on Anesthesia right now and it’s definitely one of the nicer “surgery” blocks. Let’s just say I survived my general surgery rotation and leave it at that.

Well being the gay that I am, I obviously subscribe to Details. And this article reflected two things: (1) too much gayness is not necessarily good…gayness to the point of being hateful and obnoxious isn’t any different from any other type of prejudice; (2) “gay” is too mainstream! I know Details and GQ market to a gay reading base (namely, readers like me) but the mainstream culture treatment of gays has blurred the real problem with being gay even now: there’s a lot of hate and prejudice for LGBT people. I’m not saying that having the mainstream audience exposed to gays is a bad thing, I mean obviously the more people know about gays, the better. But LGBTs need normalcy (at least in my mind)…I want to talk about my boyfriend and not have to deal with awkward looks or conversations that steer timidly around anything that might bring up the fact that I’m gay. Why can’t being gay be treated like being a woman? I hope it will come to that soon, maybe in the next generation. Anyways I’ve completely steered away from what the article talks about, which is here (I warn you, it’s a lot of text…).

And completely randomly, of course I have to insert a picture of Andy Roddick.

Not really a daily dose anymore…but more like a dose every now and then. Can you believe this is Ricky?

I got an email about this, in case anyone’s interested. It doesn’t really reveal anything new, but it’s cool to see the line rising through the years…there’s some hope there. Here’s the poll if you want to see more…

brosie: it’s food!
