<![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale - Gawker Comments]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale - Gawker Comments]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Richard: And yet the heartbreaking yet hilarious perfection of the FANTASIA BARRINO tag goes unremarked.

BeRightBack

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Unfun: I think this is called Hezzing.

Hez

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Unfun: You look absolutely becoming in that shade of black. And what's that perfume you're wearing? Delicious.

Unfun

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38: You, sir, are hilarious. I am going to start responding to my own comments, give myself some love! Lord knows I don't get enough around here (hint, hint).

Unfun

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38: That's big and mature and built and handsome of you to admit. I love you.

Nard

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> That is a grim portrait of a tortured psyche. It makes my blog seem like US weekly.

SeaBassTian

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Richard, @VirusWithShoes: Or some dryer lint and a crate of meth. Anyone want to come over?

Hez

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @VirusWithShoes: @Hez: Or a particularly adventurous colobus monkey and a peculiar sadness.

Richard

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Hez: Or a decent grasp of theoretical physics and some cutlery.

VirusWithShoes

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @VirusWithShoes: Or a marginal sense of humour and some D-cups.

Hez

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Unfun: Sometimes you can get by on having a great sense of humour and some Q-tips.

VirusWithShoes

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Heather Fink: I thought you needed a cock to be in the gay porn industry?

Unfun

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Clare: That comment was very funny. Honestly, sometimes good ones slip through the cracks.

Richard

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> Next stop, Karl Lagerfeld's love nest.

Pussy Galore

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> I know a guy who looks JUST LIKE an ugly version of this dude. The next time I see him I'm going to have to ask him if he moonlights in gay porn.

@Nard38: Gay Hulk just pawn in game of life.

FWIW, I thought your comment was LOL-worthy and I too feel sad when no one follows up my comments. I'm still smarting that I didn't get a Commie for this.

Clare

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> I'll just say that he is a very sweet person from what I knew and well regarded in his industry.

Heather Fink

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> I think I like Sincere Richard. And regular gay content keeps my self-obsessed ass coming back for more. Keep up the good work, my traffic is indispensible!

Aatom

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> Yup, OK, it makes sense now.

That's definitely a lawn-guyland blank stare.

digitalsmoothie

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> This is sad. I almost want to leave him a comment because depression sucks no matter what your profession is, but if you think this guy's blogs are depressing, the comments -- last I checked from a month ago when an acquaintance of mine was dating him for five seconds and begged me to leave him a comment or he would DIE -- are even harder to read.

whitekidinflatbush

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Unfun: Done deal. Sunbaked Guidos are a guilty pleasure. And sunburned burly Irish firefighters? Oh, man. Especially when they get loaded and play football. Glistening in the sun like bronzy pink, be-tatted Adonises. And sometimes they miss a pass and their football lands on your blanket and they swagger over to get it and... June, come posthaste!

BettyCrocker

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38: Yeah. I realized it after I hit "Submit." I owe him some money.

Nard

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> He looks like an over-inflated Kevin Bacon in that photo.

That surely cannot help.

VirusWithShoes

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38: Isn't this comment a bit derivative of Conbon's "Wait. You Actually Read the Posts?" Commie winner from a few months back?

Nard

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> I've been depressed since that guy got killed at Altamont, but you don't hear me bitching about it.

PandoraSpocks

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38: I got the hell off that wretched island as a wee teen, and only go back for beach trips and holidays. So no.
@BettyCrocker: That's ok, if you let me park in your driveway I'll bring the pina coladas and spanish tortilla sandwiches and gazpacho and we can lounge and make fun of the sun-baked guidos together (most parking spots are a mile from the beach anyway).


Unfun

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38: I don't. But yeah, there's a lot of that from Merrick to Lindenhurst.

BettyCrocker

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Unfun: Sure! But I'm on unfashionable Park Avenue, 5 blocks from the water. That means less homeowner's insurance and more money for vodka, though!

BettyCrocker

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @BettyCrocker: @Unfun: Do either of you know the Dog Brothers from that glorious MTV "Sex in the '90s" episode? "See these jackets? A thousand each."

Nard

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @BettyCrocker: I'm from Valley Stream. For sheer LI trashiness, I win. Do you live near the beach? Wanna be summer friends?

Unfun

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38: Never, ever. OK, maybe once (a day).

WideStanceRomancer

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Unfun: East Williston, representing! Now chillin' in the crib in Long Beach!

Actually, we do have quite the selection of hot gay muscleheads if one knows where to look. Like every single NYSC. And Homo Depot. And *shudders* the Park & Ride.

BettyCrocker

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38: It is to laugh!

Seriously, I hope he can cheer up, and I also hope that the fabulous party people won't summarily abandon him. You know, like people who are about people's feelings & stuff.

SeeingI

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> Alright, take a look at that photo. Now, prepare to have your mind blown:

He's from Long Island.

I know, right? Whodathunkit? Wow.

Disclaimer: I am from LI, so I can poke fun. Anyone else does it, I'm gonna kick yeh fuckin asses.

Unfun

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38: Brilliant.

Dusty in the Wind

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38: No. I'm a professional and take my day job too seriously for that. Also, Virus is usually kissing my ass. He's just looking to get in my pants I think, but I'll take any flattery I can get.

Unfun

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38: THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME. You can't prove anything, either.

Hez

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> Depression, bwah! Nothing a bottle of Dutch courage can't cure.

AndIAmTellingYou

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38:

True dat ... I still haven't fully recovered from not getting a response to a "You, Me and Dupre" joke I made at the onset of the Spitzer fiasco ...

DonLaFontaine

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38: It was a very funny comment. And what a coincidence, we both work with handjobs!

collegecallgirl

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Hamud:
I think it's the drugs? Or the fact he's on steroids? Or maybe that he seeks approval and attention from strangers?

Like attracts like.

rantersparadise

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @collegecallgirl: @Hez: Thanks. I needed that. Did you ever write a comment that you were sure was pithy and funny, but then no one gave it a courtesy "Ha!" or "Bwah!" so you sat at your desk refreshing the page and worrying that being the funniest guy in your office probably doesn't really mean you're all that funny since you work with handjobs and maybe you should concentrate on your job and sharpen your earning skills and get the fuck off of Gawker? Me neither, but if I ever did, you both would have pulled me right back in.

Nard

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @kregger:
Don't do it then!?

rantersparadise

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Hamud: I'm beginning to think you like 'em hairy, Hamud.

fiveinchtaint

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> He's always moaning though...I've read his blog and he's been like this for ever. It's attention seeking. Why can't he go see a therapist? I'm very wary of someone who needs to live their life via the lens of the media and erm, society...

rantersparadise

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> I haven't really looked into the medical literature on this, so this is pretty much a stab in the dark, but I think there's a very real possibility that Rhodes' depression might be chemically linked to his removing his body hair.

I mean, we all know that the human endocrine system is incredibly subtle and complex, and if you do something horribly extreme to your body, such as removing the lush God-given hair from your amazingly broad back, huge slab pecs, and massive shoulders, you're likely upsetting some very delicate biochemical balance.

I'm pretty sure that the best endocrinologists would agree with me that Rhodes's depression would resolve immediately were he to receive a series of painstaking hours-long hot oil massages. Especially if he were to receive them after returning from the gym while he was pumped and dripping with sweat.

I'm quite willing to go the distance on this one and volunteer my time to see if this holistic approach would work for Rhodes. Hell, I'll even write it up and submit it for publication to the New England Journal of Medicine. This is the way progress in medical science gets made.

Hamud Ibn Hamud

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> This quote on his blog is what had me:

"I wish people would want to know me for something i could be proud of and not because they enjoy seeing me get fucked in my ass."

Truer words, my friends....truer words!

kregger

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> I feel bad for him. He needs a BF. When I needed a BF, everything sucked. Now my BF is also my BFF and we b***f*** all the time and there are rainbows and glitter and unicorns. At least for me. I think for Mike it's more like cold Warsteiner ale, handcuffs and steaks.

BettyCrocker

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38: Me too. That's two hot broads now powerless at your feet. Whatchagonnado?

Hez

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Nard38: Oh Nard, you slay me.

collegecallgirl

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> I hope he finds some solace before the title reads: Fairy's Life A Cautionary Tale

(sorry! mean! just wordplay!)

fiveinchtaint

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> "Hopefully Rhodes will follow through on some of the life changes he writes about."

Who knew that the spring weather would turn so quickly smuggy?

rod townsend

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @CodePink: But he secretly has a subscription to The Awesome Journal of Awesome Vaginas.

@Richard: Leave it to the gays to invent something so depraved as a Butt Quarterly.

Conbon

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> at least he's mastering the art of the expository breakdown, which is a valuable life skill

che_leo

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Richard: Those are good, but have you ever checked out Gaywad Weekly?

CodePink

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Conbon: Yeah, it came today. Along with Dudes Who Do It in the Butt Quarterly and Dust Ruffle Fancy.

Richard

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @Conbon: hahahahha!!! Guess what just arrived? His favorite magazine, The Thoughtful 'Mo.

CodePink

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> Wow, reading his blog is incredibly depressing!

Princess Sparkle Pony

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> Gaylebrity is the new black

kingsquiddish

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> It must suck for all these semi-famous by association bastards when they step out of the glaring limelight. What, with all the money and other parties and free time and realized dreams. Talk about a fucking bummer.

So let's pretend we've never read anything, put on our jimmie hats and get busy.

Calitri

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> Fuck those blog entries are really goddamn depressing, especially the part about The Secret.

lawyergay

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> @CodePink: He is? Oh. I just thought his copy of "News About Gay Stuff and Homo People" came in the mail today.

Conbon

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> Get Demi to give him a leech.

H5N1_Hottie

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> Gay Hulk sad. No smash today. Just sit, think.

Nard

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> Gays get depressed? nu-uh! nothing that some hired twinks and crystal can't fix! So FAROSH!

Cheap Shot

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> Richard, you're all exploring the nature of celebrity from several different viewpoints today and shit. What ah you some kinda fahkin' writah or something?

CodePink

]]> <![CDATA[Life Is Not a Fairytale]]> just remember you can't be sadder than Tim Gunn
