Looks Don't Matter (A.K.A. You're-Ugly-But-I-Love-You-Anyway)

"Looks don't matter." What a beautiful thing to say, and much more to hear from your lover, especially when you weren't blessed with drop-dead gorgeous looks. It makes one feel truly loved, appreciated, accepted, and fuzzy and tingly on the inside. It makes one think "Gee, how lucky I am to be loved by this beautiful motherfucker when I look like I could play Smeagol minus all the CGI!"

This Filipino Atheist and Christmas

     I'm an agnostic atheist and I'm out for about 8 years now. How I handled the shock that the people spewed upon me is a story for another day. Today, I want to talk about Christmas. Been feelin' it for a week or two now knowhatamsayin? The Christmas cheer man. There are twinkling lights and everythang round malls and stuff, beautiful Christmas trees reaching several stories high, this cold wind outside right now that's crippling my fingers making it hard for me to type. Jose Mari Chan songs playin'  in every street corner. With families and their kids on the sidewalks, yeah busy sidewalks. Suddenly, people have money you know, with their bonuses and all that. It's all over round you man, people are getting extra happy and sh**. And it's all good yaknow. And the Christmas parties, maaan they don't end. I mean, I haven't prepared any meal for myself lately, just been hoppin' from one party to another. And it's all good yaknow, everything is.

     And this is also the time when my believer friends ask me, 'So, you're an atheist. You guys should not celebrate Christmas right?'. And I'm like, 'And miss all the drinking, the food and the presents? Nah maan, I'm atheist, not stupid.' So ya, I think this is what Christmas really is: it's one massive commercialization season. It's all about shopping, spending sh** with Santa Claus as the main mascot. He is the face of corporate manipulation. I mean look a him all fat and smiling, surrounded by lots of material stuff, stuff the G Man wants you to buy. And he has all these workers and laborers who are much smaller than him. These could be children in forced labor disguising as adult elves for all we know. Santa Claus the the archetypal greedy capitalist!

The second movie in the trilogy to the prequel of the Lord of the Rings film is already a box office hit grossing 73.6 million USD at the first couple of weeks since its release making it the number one movie in the box office charts for this holiday season. The film did not fail to get positive anecdotal reactions from both fans and those who are fairly new to the LOTR lore and unfamiliar with the books. Although this, of course, is all because of director Peter Jackson who has once again did a most fascinating job.

7 Musicians That Were Blessed to be Like Jesus Christ

Yeah, it's fair to say that we certainly don't know what Jesus looked like or if his hair is really as blonde as Jennifer Aniston's. But anyway, according to them bible scholars, every image of Him that we see today is purely based on artists' imaginations. And because the very first depictions of Him weren't entirely done until hundred of years later, it's safe to say that Jesus and Chad Kroeger of Nickelback have similarities. No, not really. So, instead of arguing what He (should) looked like, let's stick to the basics. In an effort to showcase the "Messiah's" appearance, I present to you the 7 musicians who seem to be, you know, Jesus Christ. Amen.

7. Dave Grohl

Not only does the picture above depict him to be talking or praying or whatsoever to God, his hair and beard actually do the fucking trick. And according to this article here, Dave is the "great all-rounder of rock 'n' roll Jesusdom." Of course, that includes the time when Nirvana's front man, Kurt Cobain, had yet to decide to dig some bullets and retire.
