The Best of Binky's Johnny Weir Blog: seriously my cup runneth over with suckage which sounds like it should be more fun than it is

So currently my life is sucking on multiple levels, which is unfortunate. Fortunately I have more leftover Ice Dreams photos with which to distract myself, which do not suck. And while I go try to whittle away at the suckage that surroundeth me (IDK why I lapse into KJV--King James version--English when discussing stuff that is really getting on my last nerve, but while I'm busy shedding shit that doesn't work for me anymore, I think I'll include my years of unquestioningly obedient Lutheranism so that I might then be empowered to draw deeply insightful conclusions about things I do without thinking. Also while I'm thinking about KJV and NIV and RSV and all the rest, I think someone should put together more relevant biblical translations for the Internet age, like the IDK Bible ("IDK why 'Christians' cheerfully ignore all the stuff in Leviticus about shellfish and not wearing clothes woven of different materials but still cling desperately to the two tiny verses there that actually aren't talking about gay love as we know it anyway but instead are cautioning against cultish practices of that historical time"), the BTW Bible ("BTW either obey everything in Leviticus--which would kinda be Jewish-ish, not Christian--or nothing. Also BTW kudos to gay CNN anchor Don Lemon for coming out."), the FYI Bible ("FYI: No, gay pride does NOT mean that the world is coming to an end. Also FYI: The Bible says that NO ONE knows when the world may or may not be ending, so by trumpeting that it's this Saturday or possibly October, Harold Camping has just guaranteed that it isn't either one."), the DNW Bible ("DNW your claim that your personal prejudices and phobias have any kind of actual spiritual basis other than being rooted in your own spirit full of fear and condemnation"), and my personal favorite, the WTF/STFU Bible ("WTF is all this crap you people claim to be doing in My name? STFU already."), please enjoy the picspam.

Interesting historical note (well, interesting to me cuz it's about my history. Please feel free to skip and take a few minutes to write your own historical note: "Hey! I love marshmallow-encrusted Fruity Pebbles too!"): Last year I saw one of Johnny's early Bad Romance exhibitions at Ice Dreams 2010. I've heard whispers that he might retire this program, so his performance of it at Ice Dreams 2011 may be the last one we'll see.

It has been fascinating to watch Johnny refine this over the past year. I absolutely LOVE his attitude throughout this particular performance. If Ice Dreams 2011 was indeed his final Bad Romance--it was an amazing way to end. :)

(The program, not the world. Although actually it works for me that way too.)

(Oh, and the BRB Bible: "BRB Imma send the Bad Romance YouTube link to Harold Camping RN"), and the LOL Bible: "LOL Harold Camping's head just exploded ... ")
