The Standard Hotel has turned into a fantastic peepshow, with best viewing from the newly opened High Line!   I think this is great.  If you don’t like seeing people have sex in windows, move to Oklahoma:

Note to parents strolling the High Line: Don’t let your kids look up.

The Meatpacking District’s newly opened, much-touted urban park along an elevated, former railroad trestle has unwittingly turned into a peep show near The Standard hotel, as randy hotel guests perform sex acts in front of floor-to-ceiling hotel windows.

Disgusted neighbors say they’ve seen men masturbating, professional porn films being shot and couples engaging in sex in full view of the stunning High Line park path running alongside.

Now how is that different the Central Park, say around, the West 50’s and 60’s?  There is more:

Business neighbors also are disgusted.

“I’ve seen a few porn shoots — three dudes walking around a hotel room with cameras and lights filming a couple,” said Joe, a manager at the next-door Brass Monkey. “I’ve seen at least 10 different people having sex. Saturday nights are the best time for the show.

I say who cares.  If you are walking your kids around and they look up, just flip them around and point out the Empire State Building and remind then that Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny live there.

The Standard Hotel’s facebook page and publicity love it.   They encourage it:

The Standard’s Facebook page bluntly encourages the explicit behavior.

“We encourage you to exercise your inner exhibitionist. Please share your intimate, and explicit photos with us — those floor to ceiling windows aren’t just for the views . . .”

The hotel Web site beckons:

“Whatever you do, just make sure the shots are HOT and that you get them to us in whichever way you can. It’s all about sex all the time, and you’re our star.”

Good good good!  This is NEW YORK CITY.   Are these to match the new backrooms that are opening up at certain bars?

        

Say goodbye to meth labs!   A brand new formula to create this stanky ass drug has arrived.  The days of elaborate rural labs requiring massive amounts of chemicals and 1000s of pills have been replaced.  Today, people simply need a 2 liter bottle, a few cough pills and some serious nerve:

This is the new formula for methamphetamine: a two-liter soda bottle, a few handfuls of cold pills and some noxious chemicals. Shake the bottle and the volatile reaction produces one of the world’s most addictive drugs.

Don’t do it!!!

Now drug users are making their own meth in small batches using a faster, cheaper and much simpler method with ingredients that can be carried in a knapsack and mixed on the run. The “shake-and-bake” approach has become popular because it requires a relatively small number of pills of the decongestant pseudoephedrine – an amount easily obtained under even the toughest anti-meth laws that have been adopted across the nation to restrict large purchases of some cold medication.”Somebody somewhere said ‘Wait this requires a lot less pseudoephedrine, and I can fly under the radar,’” said Mark Woodward, spokesman for the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control.

Why do meth?  Here in Sydney we have methheads wandering the streets.  Their heads have collapsed sideways, and they look so, so sad.  WHY?   The new method can also blow up in your face, both figuratively and literally!

“If there is any oxygen at all in the bottle, it has a propensity to make a giant fireball,” said Sgt. Jason Clark of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control. “You’re not dealing with rocket scientists here anyway. If they get unlucky at all, it can have a very devastating reaction.”

One little mistake, such as unscrewing the bottle cap too fast, can result in a huge blast, and police in Alabama, Oklahoma and other states have linked dozens of flash fires this year – some of them fatal – to meth manufacturing.

There is no hope in dope kiddies.

        

Walking to the park yesterday I saw this sign posted in a convenience store window in Elizabeth Bay, Sydney, Australia.

Isn’t there a donkey or something that can be returned to the banjo player?

        

Ben Bernanke, chairmen of the federal reserve,  reports good news.  Bernanke claims the worst of the GFC is over as  global economies are currently growing again or set to return to growth:

Central bankers from around the world expressed growing confidence on Friday that the worst of the financial crisis is over and that a global economic recovery is beginning to take shape.

“The prospects for a return to growth in the near term appear good,” declared Ben S. Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, expressing optimism both about the United States and the worldwide outlook.

This is kind of incredible, considering what we have just gone through.  Last November I thought the world business structure was imploding towards a new world order and all was destroyed, financially speaking.    Anyhow, fast forward to August 2009 and we can all see a little light.

Yes I realize unemployment is through the roof however that is the last thing affected by financial cycles, so that will remain as is through 2010.  But if we start to grow now and things get better, it will change.

There is some truth though to the fact that American and world consumers have changed their habits due to the GFC.   This in itself could make the recovery very slow.  I recommend we all blow up our credit cards and buy tons of things we don’t need and can’t afford because apparently that creates growth and jobs.  Zoooinks.

        

He just has no time for this young bimbo who really wants to have a radical opinion about something.   Comparing accessible health care to all and the Nazi regime?  Her brain is a waste of space.  Barney’s reaction is perfect.

        

Hey People.

So I have been totally absent and neglected this blog.  I was starting to get good traffic going as well and was on the edge of creating something really cool.   Anyhow, I want to get back to my habit of 2 to 4 blogs a day, every day.  I usually talk about gay stuff, politics, some music and animals.  I am obsessed with animals.

Just two days ago, I filed a same sex visa partner application with the Australian government so I can get permanent residency here and live with my partner Alan.  That has been time consuming.  By time consuming I mean the most ridiculously huge project I have had in years and emotionally draining and stressful.  Almost killed us.  Ha ha.  But we made it.  It is now filed and we get the results in a few months.

I also started working as a digital media consultant in the last few months and that has been quite a challenge to learn to talk shit about internet optimizations and make sales regarding that topic, but now I am gaining comfort there.

So stay with me, I am back, I promise.  And follow us on twitter at Gayvolt.

Below is my reaction to any person who states they are a Republican.

Watch Orly Taitz melt down before our very eyes.  Is there really a portion of the American population that believes this?  This is truly laughable.  The right side of our nation continues to get crazier.

        

So the freak that killed two gay kids, earlier believed to be three, is still roaming the streets of Tel Aviv:

Hundreds of police officers were scouring the streets of Tel Aviv on Sunday in a door-to-door manhunt for a gunman who opened fire on a gay youth club.A masked man entered a club for gay teens late Saturday, pulled out a pistol and shot in all directions, killing two and injuring 11, police said.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the man then holstered his pistol and fled the scene by foot to the busy streets of Tel Aviv.

Nitzan Horowitz, Israel’s only openly gay lawmaker, said the attack had all the symptoms of a ”hate crime.”

”This is the worst attack ever against the gay community in Israel,” he said. ”This act was a blind attack against innocent youths, and I expect the authorities to exercise all means in apprehending the shooter.”

Israel, in particular Tel Aviv, is very gay friendly and progressive.  However, our enemies still lurk amongst the crowds.

Ultra-Orthodox Jewish leaders often incite against the community. In conservative Jerusalem, clashes have been frequent between religious and gay activists. In 2005, for instance, an ultra-Orthodox protester stabbed three marchers at a Jerusalem gay parade.

The ultra-Orthodox Shas party, a frequent critic gays in Israel, issued a statement condemning Saturday’s attack.

The covers of Sunday’s newspapers all featured photos of the bloodstained floors of the youth club and headlines such as ”Massacre of the Proud Youth” and ”Terror Against the Proud Community.”

The fuckin bastard needs to be caught and dealt with. Also, the Jewish leaders who incite hatred against gays need to understand it can create this situation.   Their statement condemning the attack comes a bit late don’t ya think?  I am not saying they themselves are responsible, but homophobia surely is, and their attitudes perpetuate it.
