Yt News today: Youtube daily report Dec 1 2017

The anticipation before a date is a magical thing for any guy: the butterflies, the excited

buzz, the hours of research to figure out what brand of cologne her dad wears so that

you can buy the exact same one…

wait, what?

"It's not as weird as it looks."

"Still weird."

Okay, so your guy probably doesn't check off every item on this list before he shows up

at your door on Saturday night.

But when it comes to preparing for a date, there's a decent chance he's done at least

one of the following.

Man-scaping

They might not go this far to achieve peak smoothness down below, but many guys spend

some time deforesting their nether-regions, just in case things get hot and heavy.

In a poll of 2,000 adults, "tidying pubic hair" was among the top three priorities for

male respondents' pre-date prep, including a three percent outlier of dudes who get a

full Brazilian in anticipation of the big night.

Buying new undies

That's right, fellas: shave it off, then cover it up.

The second of the top three priorities for men who were getting date-ready?

Forking over some cash for a nice, fresh pair of underpants.

And according to scientists, this isn't just a question of being too lazy to do laundry;

another study conducted by Debenhams department store revealed that "the average man only

buys new underpants when he is about to start a new relationship" — perhaps because, just

like our cinematic hero Bridget Jones, he knows that a good first impression is all

about the base layer.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed by, I'm wearing something quite similar myself!"

Hit the gym

Whether it's because they can't bear to skip leg day or because they're hoping to impress

you with their healthy habits, squeezing in a workout before a date is a must for lots

of men.

Of course, if you exercise regularly, this makes perfect sense from a scientific standpoint:

that self-esteem and endorphin boost you get from hitting the gym will float you through

your date on a cloud of kick-ass confidence.

Wear her dad's cologne

Okay, so there's only one confirmed instance of a guy having done this — and we only

know about it because he made it into a confessional meme on Buzzfeed.

"What's that terrible smell?"

"I don't know, I should get moving!"

But bizarre as it sounds, the man who tries to smell just like your dad is just following

the science; in a study done at the University of Chicago, research revealed that women unwittingly

prefer the smell of men who have similar genes to their dads.

However, this has a complex basis in evolutionary biology and genetic markers in our immune

systems — and nothing to do with whether your dad preferred Old Spice or Brut.

Play digital detective

In a world where people often connect online before they ever meet in person, some guys

will turn to the internet to try to prevent a Fatal Attraction-style unhappy ending.

One suitor told Elite Daily,

"I do a quick Google search before the date, and if I find out anything bad, like she was

arrested or seems strange, I cancel right before."

But this is one pre-date practice that the experts don't endorse.

One professor of psychology at Northwestern University explained, "You're trying to suss

out: Will this person and I have a connection?

Actually, there is no evidence that we can assess that online.

You think you know what you want, but what you really need is to sit across from each

other and get a beer."

So unless it turns out their date has a criminal record for bunny-boiling, this is one ritual

guys might be better off skipping.

Warm up those conversation skills

Guys are just as terrified of awkward silences as anyone, and many of them will spend their

pre-date hours making sure they've got something to talk about.

The most nervous men might study the art of making small talk like they would a college

textbook, or even take lessons from a dating coach.

But even guys who are just looking for more interesting things to talk about than the

weather might come armed with a list of ice-breakers to keep the conversation rolling.

Do some manual labor

Although the infamous "hair gel" scene from There's Something About Mary is pure fiction,

the fact is, some guys do swear by the practice of pleasuring themselves prior to a possible

romantic encounter.

And they may be onto something!

According to some sex experts, getting down with your bad self isn't just a way to relieve

those pre-date jitters, but is also "linked with a lower risk of prostate cancer," and

we can all agree that less cancer is a good thing.

So, maybe this one isn't so weird after all.

More WWE RELEASES?! | WrestleTalk News Nov. 2017 - Duration: 4:29.

Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News - I'm Oli Davis.

WWE Releases Since October 29th, six wrestlers have been

released from WWE: Emma, Darren Young, Summer Rae, Sawyer Fulton, Leo Gao and James Ellsworth.

And now, after a week of sudden squashes or people turning on their henchmen/tag team

partners, it feels like another slew of WWE releases could be on the way.

Singh Brothers WWE Update Thankfully, after their beatdown from Jinder

Mahal on this week's Smackdown, the Singh Brothers appear to be OK.

Although PWInsider reported there have been backstage discussions about replacing them

as part of Jinder's act, it's expected they'll go to 205 Live or NXT instead of

being released from the company.

And their positions are safe for the immediate future, with them revealing on Twitter that

they're working WWE's live event dates this weekend in South America still very much

with Mahal: "Walking into Peru tonight & reminding you

to throw your Two's up.

🇵🇪 Your future TWO TIME @WWE CHAMPION, The Modern Day MAHARRRRRRRAJA!

#WWEClashOfChampions #WWEPeru" Jim Johnston Released

Sadly, one person who does appear to have been released, though, is legendary WWE music

composer Jim Johnston - the man behind the entrance music for Stone Cold Steve Austin,

Chris Jericho, The Rock, Randy Orton, Kane, Triple H, Bret Hart, Big Show, Mr. McMahon,

The Undertaker - practically every single one of your favourite wrestler themes from

pre-2011 WWE.

And Stephanie McMahon's.

The news comes from ThemeTitan on Twitter, the self-proclaimed 'original community

of WWE entrance theme fans', first tweeting: Jim Johnston has been released by WWE and

then following up with a longer statement, where they claimed WWE decided "not to renew

his contract that expired today…" and that "this was a forced release as Jim was

very keen to keep working with the company".

ThemeTitan allege Johnston's release "has been the ongoing will of Neil Lawi, John Alicastro

and Michael Lauri for some time…[as] John and Michael wanted to totally overhaul WWE's

musical output and replace all Jim Johnston creations with their own."

John Alicastro and Neil Lawi are the songwriting duo CFO$, who have been with WWE since 2012,

and are behind the entrance themes of Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Roode, Samoa Joe and more.

And we're still not done with the potential WWE releases…

Lio Rush WWE Status Lio Rush officially signed with WWE on August

21st with much fanfare from the independent scene, and he debuted on NXT in October.

But he hasn't wrestled on TV for over a month since, and it seems to be because of

some considerable backstage heat.

When WWE released Emma just days after her two losses to Asuka, Rush angered the locker

room by tweeting: "I guess these are the things that happen

when you're not TRULY ready for Asuka RETROSPECTIVELY APPROPRIATE CLOWN FACE EMOJI

Emma had only lost her job hours before, and the wrestling world roundly criticised him

for making the joke.

Lio reportedly came very close to getting released there and then, but him immediately

deleting the tweet and posting an apology is thought to have saved him from also being

cut.

PWInsider then confirmed that the reason Rush hasn't been seen in NXT since is "exactly

what you think it is - the Emma tweet."

Now Reddit user RichardMagpies has pointed out Rush has removed all WWE and NXT wording

from his Twitter profile, and he also wasn't at Wednesday's NXT tapings for the next

month's worth of TV.

Eva Marie removing WWE references from her social media foreshadowed her eventually leaving

the company, but Karl Anderson recently doing the same never amounted to anything.

A fan on Twitter, however, has revealed Rush is - at least right now - still on the NXT

tours, appearing at last night's live event in Lakeland.

Will we get Cody Rhodes vs Daniel Bryan at a Ring of Honor event next year?

And there's been some big NXT news!

Liberal Federal Court Tells Trump That By January 1, 2018, He Must Follow Barack Obama's Policies - Duration: 4:19.

Liberal Federal Court Tells Trump That By January 1, 2018, He Must Follow Barack Obama�s

Policies And Allow� If not for activist judges intent on stalling

every single agenda item on the Right, the Democrats would be sorely in need of some

serious therapy.

At present, at least one political action party is responsible for judge shopping and

halting every Trump initiative so far this year.

Not a single agenda item has gone unchallenged.

Compare that with Barack Hussein Obama whose agenda items (especially those that were far-Left

in nature) breezed through Congress with nary a whimper of defiance from 99% of the Swamp

RINOs.

There is a reason, after all, why John Boehner had to bow out and passed the baton to Ryan.

He was wildly unpopular in his own party and had never kept his many promises to fight

Obama�s agenda.

One of the holdover policies has been in the cross-hairs of the president for a few months

and is certainly not popular among Republicans and Independents.

The issue is transgenders in the military.

There is a conventional wisdom that says that the military, of all branches of the government,

should be immune to social experimentation in the form of integrating gender blurring-of-the-lines

verbiage and behavioral criteria for service members.

A federal judge has just informed the White House that the president must enforce Obama�s

signature legacy order and begin allowing transgenders into the military by January

1st!

The Hill:

A federal court on Monday issued a clarification that the U.S. military must take transgender

service members by Jan. 1, after partially blocking President Trump�s transgender policy

in an earlier ruling.

Last month, a judge on the U.S. District Court ruled that the president�s order to ban

new transgender recruits from joining the military � as well as potentially expelling

current members � cannot be enforced while the case is being reviewed in court.

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly wrote that her injunction means that the military must continue

to follow the policies established by former President Obama�s �June 30, 2016 Directive-type

Memorandum,� which allowed transgender individuals to enlist beginning on Jan. 1.Any action by

any of the Defendants that changes this status quo is preliminarily enjoined,� Kollar-Kotelly

wrote in the Monday memo.

The ruling came after Trump issued a presidential order in August that the military stop enlisting

transgender people and not use funds to pay for gender transition-related surgery.

The memo also gave Defense Secretary James Mattis a six-month deadline to assess the

role of transgender troops who are currently serving in the U.S. military.In August, the

judge released a lengthy memo accompanying her ruling in which she said the plaintiffs

in the case, the National Center for Lesbian Rights and GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders,

are likely to succeed by arguing that the president�s transgender ban violates their

Fifth Amendment right to due process.

The two groups sued in August on behalf of six unnamed service members and two recruits.The

Democrats are crystal clear on what it wants to achieve by the end of President Trump�s

term and that is a complete rejection of every single agenda item, regardless of its merits

or virtues.

A great political cartoon I saw sums it all up.

The strip depicted the Fake News Industrial Complex watching an announcement by Trump

about supporting or not supporting Roy Moore of Alabama.

The headline on one newspaper read, �Trump Supports Child Molester Roy Moore!� while

the other read, �Trump Turns Back on his Party Candidate!� The point is that the

FNIC has already written pre-conceived notions about what the president will say and do,

and you can bet that all of them will be negative.

In this case, the narrative for Trump and transgenders was already written months ago.

When an �awkward moment with a water bottle� is a headline, there�s nothing more that

can save a corrupt and intellectually dishonest media.

ScienceCasts: A Supermoon Trilogy - Duration: 3:43.

[ MUSIC ]

A Supermoon Trilogy – Presented by Science@NASA

Mark your calendars: a series of three supermoons will appear on the celestial stage

on December 3, 2017, January 1, 2018, and January 31, 2018.

A supermoon is a Moon that is full when it is also at or near its closest point in its orbit around Earth.

Since the Moon's orbit is elliptical, one side (apogee) is about 30,000 miles (50,000 km)

farther from Earth than the other (perigee).

Nearby perigee full Moons appear about 14% bigger and 30% brighter

than full Moons that occur near apogee in the Moon's orbit.

"The supermoons are a great opportunity for people to start looking at the Moon,

not just that once but every chance they have!"

says Noah Petro, a research scientist from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.

It's hard for our eyes to distinguish these small changes in size

when the Moon is high amidst the vastness of the night sky.

But any time you catch a full Moon as it rises or sets,

while it's suspended low on the horizon beaming through the silhouettes of trees or buildings,

its apparent size might make you do a double-take.

You almost feel as though you could reach out, grab the glowing orb, and drop it into your coffee cup.

Even more so if it's a supermoon.

If you can catch only one episode of the supermoon trilogy, catch the third one. It will be extra special.

First of all, the January 31st supermoon will feature a total lunar eclipse,

with totality viewable from western North America across the pacific to Eastern Asia.

The Moon's orbit around our planet is tilted so it usually falls above or below the shadow of the Earth.

About twice each year, a full Moon lines up perfectly with the Earth and Sun

such that Earth's shadow totally blocks the Sun's light, which would normally reflect off the Moon.

"The lunar eclipse on January 31 will be visible during moonset.

Folks in the Eastern United States, where the eclipse will be partial,

will have to get up in the morning to see it," notes Petro. "But it's another great chance to watch the Moon."

The Moon will lose its brightness and take on an eerie, fainter-than-normal glow

from the scant sunlight that makes its way through Earth's atmosphere.

Often cast in a reddish hue because of the way the atmosphere bends the light,

totally eclipsed Moons are sometimes called 'blood Moons.'

"We're seeing all of the Earth's sunrises and sunsets at that moment reflected from the surface of the Moon,"

says Sarah Noble, a Program Scientist at NASA headquarters.

The January 31st supermoon will also be the second full Moon of the month.

Some people call the second full Moon in a month a Blue Moon, that makes it a super 'blue Moon.'

Blue Moons happen every two and a half years, on average.

With the total eclipse, it'll be a royal spectacle indeed: a 'super blue blood' Moon.

Sometimes the celestial rhythms sync up just right to wow us.

Heed your calendar reminders. On the three dates marked,

step out into the moonset or moonrise and look up for a trilogy of sky watching treats!

To learn more about the many wonders of the Moon, go to moon.nasa.gov.

Converted Car Garage to Artists Home, Studio & Gallery | Modern Townhouse in Florence - Duration: 13:03.

Hey guys, welcome back to GoDownsize where we talk downsizing, simple living

and we also do amazing house tours! So this week we're visiting Sven and Silvia

and they are amazing artists - Sven is an architect, Silvia is a painter and they

have this amazing townhouse it's actually a former car garage that they

converted into their living slash studio space. So I really hope you enjoy this little gem!

My name is Silvia, Silvia Cardini, and I'm a painter and my partner is Sven Hebeler

and he's an architect and we decided to come here to stay here and we

rebuild everything for having a big space for living together with our child

So the point was first to have a big room with light because for us it's very

important to have a beautiful light inside and a lot of choices was also about

- our, or my, paintings here - Yes, the house was build around

the paintings from Silvia

Yeah so when we chose the colors and to have some open space and a

central place to live together and two bedroom one to front side one to the backside

- divided from this living place - it's like the heart of the home in the middle

Yeah exactly!

The house before was built so here is the ingress then there

a bathroom here long corridor and here a closed room and we have decide to clean

all these walls and make the heart of the house with a big room. We cook, we study with our son

And we have a big table so we can eat with a lot of people

This is the kitchen!

And, you know, the point was to

have everything in just one spaces to have it more practical

so we have all this stuff.

We have two fridges because this one is too small

Everything is just here here, and we use our dishes or glasses or everything here

It's quite comfortable for cooking here. The difficultly in this project was

to make custom furnitures because the room is very closed, very little

So we have to build and design all the cabinets so we don't lose space.

Everything is a normal-size, you don't have anything like smaller appliances -

No, it's normal size and also with the fires and all the stuff is

you know with the dish machine everything so there's a normal life you know?

So in this case we decide to have this wood big wood and for having

just one color and one material because one of the point of the project was to

have not so much materials and not so much colors and all so much things

because - for us - if you have too much things this the space is coming small you know?

The colors is giving from the paintings from Siliva.

And here is the history from our family with the older pictures photos

This is a lamp, you know?

You can see the history from our family in all the pictures.

The sculptures are from Sven and Matteo, too!

This is our bedroom

So this is, you know our closet, and Sven also in this case I decide to design

also to the other two with wooden so is all the stuff of the family you know

Clothes and everything also here we have paintings and the wall with our life you know

This is the final projects of universities for Sven. It's a port in Castilian Adela Biscaia

And this is the other room, it's our child's room

So this is the room with the

child and the bed and also here the space is not so big but we have I think everything

- yeah how many square meters? - this is nine square meters

So we decided to have here everything books and games just in a wall

- We have another... - Closet?

- Yes, so with everything inside

We decided to put this as a wooden floor but

it's coming from construction was yes the construction the yellow panels of

wood to make walls with concrete

This is a ladder form the fire police, yeah it's an original one!

This is a little room for friends and here you can see

this beautiful view from the hills of Tuscany

This is a small bathroom but with everything we decided to have all

concrete and gray and to have bath too - and I think it's comfortable more

comfortable than just a shower in particular for child you know it's so

built you can open the part here and this to put on big furnitures yeah so it

attaches here

But you have to move this library

But it's all open, you can open all this part

So this is downstairs and we decided to have a big space here all the space is

open as before. We work usually as a studio is an artist studio and an

architectural studio too

And in the in this first part you know we have too something for for staying with friends

and as a living room

it's another space and so we can drink something or smoking if we want and

having our time, and while the children sleeping the night yeah

We had before another kind of door because it was a wooden door and we have no light here no

so much light and we need that windows is coming from north is very good for me

but we need also another part of light yeah so we decided to change the door

It was a car garage, and the cars would go in here. We have the windows here can keep open

in the summer time and we have another door and it was before with also with

the garages there was just before. We decided to build just this

And we you know we designed the space, it was important to put every book and everything but

also because the inside we have - I have - all my stuff for painting

So this is my supply closet.

It's full! Of course!

Sometime ago I had a studio in another place and it was a

quite big studio with other artists too but it's not good for me for working

because I like I really like to work in the same place where I live

I chose and I try to find this kind of situation to have studio and home in a

same build and for me is really great also because here we have two you know

two floors so it's a different kind of life that you stay here when I when I am

upstairs I am at home and when I downstairs I'm at studio

It's not completely the same thing, you know?

We have this table you could put out this one and you have a wall again

because sometimes we have exhibitions or events here everything is empty for

exhibit our works and also sometimes also with friends and you know

all the boxes you could change the position

- And we have wheels, we could move everything here - You go inside through this door here

Are there any negatives about choosing to live smaller?

Sometimes perhaps we would

just love to have another room or a garden or something bigger of course but

I think it's also easier for cooking and cleaning and everything

And I think it's not bad, no it's not bad

I don't know about you guys but I love how they converted that downstairs workshop that were formerly

used for cars into a studio

that was beautiful, had beautiful light and they can also use it as a space

tonight to hang out with friends and they have it separate from the private

area upstairs I love how they took out all the walls and just open up the space completely

As always I'll leave link in the description so you can go and check

out this wonderful family on their websites and see more of their amazing

work I hope you enjoyed it and I'll see you guys back here next week where we

have another exciting video coming up, bye!

21 SAVAGE - Before They Were Famous - UPDATED - Issa BIO - Duration: 11:18.

BEFORE 21 Savage would hit number two on the billboard hot 200 with Issa Album and number

one on the rap charts with Without Warning

Before he dropped tracks like X, Bank Account and No Heart

BEFORE 21 Savage would shack up with Amber Rose, and collaborate with the likes of Metro

Boomin, Drake, the Migos, Mike Will, Future, DJ Khaled, Rich Chigga, and Post Malone

BEFORE The Slaughter King would opt for a 'Death Before Dishonour' Tattoo on his forehead

and a dagger between his eyes.

21 Savage grew in East Atlanta, where he witnessed his father dealing crack as far back as he

can remember.

At 14 he began selling drugs himself.

He also got his hands on a gun and brought it to school with him in the 7th grade to

teach a kid who was talking shit not to be messing around.

This incident eventually got him kicked out of every middle school in the county.

So this gave him more time to work on his street hustle.

Through his teens he would build a tight knit gang known as '21', and they would also hook

up with the Bloods.

He was dealing out of his home and fathered two kids.

Then on his 21st birthday he and his best friend Johnny got shot.

21 Savage took six bullets including one in his hand and in his neck but managed to make

it out alive.

His best friend wasn't so lucky.

It was then he decided he would need to find a new career and began taking rapping seriously.

Within a year and half he would blow up online and make it onto the XXL Freshman Class List.

What's going on guys my name is Michael McCrudden documenting the life and career of 21 Savage

here for you on Before They Were Famous.

You guys requested this vieo.

Let me know as always who you want me to document next.

21 Savage was born Shayaa Bin Abraham Joseph on October 22, 1992.

He was born in the Dominican Republic, but raised in Dacatur, a rough and tough neighbourhood

outside of Atlanta Georgia.

He grew up with four brothers and six sisters, although his younger brother, Tayman passed

away in a shooting that took place after a drug deal.

Shayaa's mother, Heather, was a rock of stability in his life, while his father was crack dealer.

His uncle was killed in front of their home, shot twice in the head when he was only 11

years old.

21 Savage has said it many a time that Atlanta is a savage town, with people getting shot

up.

I'd go into more detail about his family tree and friends but the dude has lost a ton of

people.

Shayaa grew up listening to his idol Gucci Mane, Lotto Savage, Mookie, Madri

Gra, Freaky DSMG.

His favorite albums included Me, My Momma and Them Roaches, Live From Da Carter, Gucci

Mane's "East Atlanta 6" and his favorite of all is Gucci's "Sun Valley".

He spent his whole life robbing and hustling on the street getting started as far back

as he can remember, he got his own hands on weed and began turning a profit at 14.

While in the seventh grade at Stone Mountain Middle School, he had some beef with another

dude and when he caught word that they were planning to jump him, he decided to bring

a pistol with him to school.

The crew didn't need to jump him anymore, instead they just snitched on him and Savage

got expelled from school.

His mom wasn't happy and told him it was only a 10 day suspension so he eventually went

back to school, but he got in a fight in the hallway with that same dude.

From there, 21 savaged bouced between the Dekalb Youth Development Center and alternative

school.

One time, 21 remembers that someone once left a snickers bar on his cot, which was a common

practice to test if a kid is soft.

His response was to try to beat up the very next kid that entered the room.

But 21 lost that fight.

He was so small at the time, that he had gotten the nickname Lil Man.

He returned to more regular schooling in Gwinnett County in the 9th grade.

There, he played football while on probation but some messing around with some chicks on

a school bus got him kicked out again and this time he was kicked out of attending any

school in the county.

By now he had already established for himself a pretty successful business selling weed

out of his mama's house.

This would eventually expand to include selling crack and committing robberies.

Things were going pretty good, he was able to eventually buy his mom a car and then get

her an apartment.

I think he kept the house.

His close boys all adopted the number of 21 as their gang name and at 16 opted for 21

tattoos, Savage got his on the side of his face.

At 19, his crew, including Johnny, Larry, Krusha, Rock, Lil B, CJ his bro Tayman got

involved with the Bloods but Savage states that he is cool with a lot of Crips, and he

doesn't care much for the long lasting rivalry and stories between the two gangs and refers

to that as an old school mentality.

Business must have been going well because he managed to father two kids that he states

today are his motivation.

He had done some dabbling with rap having made one song with his brother and had got

his hands on a mac computer and a microphone.

Then his brother Tayman robbed a house and found a better computer and microphone so

Savage set those up in his room.

On his 21st birthday, he and two of his friends, Johnny and Larry, went to pick up drugs, but

the situation quickly unfolded into what Shayaa now believes it was a hit.

Bullets started flying and he took six before he was able to return fire.

His friends Johnny and Larry didn't make it.

Not only that, Larry's mother was killed as well.

Shayaa now a father had a lot of thinking to do while he recovered in the hospital.

They also hooked him up with Percasets, and those delicious pain killers he hasn't been

able to get off them just yet.

He decided that his best bet at a future of success and staying alive would be if he forced

his energy into rapping.

A few things had changes, for one 21 Savage had adopted the moniker of Savage which he

came up with while setting up his Instagram account, also he was no longer taking any

shit from no one.

21 Savage got to work, he had some money which provided him with the time but he had no label,

no marketing team, no promotion team he just worked hard and spoke of the real street life

that he had lived through.

But, sadly, it wasn't over.

If you don't know the story of 21's knife tattoo, it's a sad one.

He and his brothers had agreed to get a dagger tatted between their thumb and their index

finger, just like Tony Montana.

But, 21's younger brother Tayman rushed out and opted to have it tatted between his eyes.

All of a sudden tragedy struck again.

His little brother Tayman was killed on March 19, 2014.

Savage hadn't yet gotten his dagger and opted to get his between his eyes in tribute to

his brother.

Savage also paid homage to his departed friends, Johnny, Larry, and his mother, Tamika, with

a giant tattoo featuring their names across his chest.

21's dark trap anthems like "Picky," the DJ Plugg-produced single soon became a niche

classic among Atlanta locals for its shaky, intoxicating energy.

Soon his mixtape The Slaughter Tape was dropped in 2015.

Followed by Free Guwop, Slaugher King and then in 2016, he would hooked up with Metro

Boomin for Savage Mode.

Savage Mode would include singles, No Heart, and X, which featured Future.

Both those tracks would be certified double platinum.

Also in 2016, 21 would be featured on XXL's Freshman Class List.

The exposure would help develop even more buzz for him in the hip hop community, and

21 would soon go on to feature on tracks by artists like Drake, Mike Will, Post Malone,

Big Sean, Rich Chigga, and many others.

In 2017, he would drop Issa Album, which hit number two on the billboard hot 200, the US

RnB and Hip Hop Chart, and the US rap chart.

His second studio album, Without Warning, with Offset and Metro Boomin, would follow

the same year.

It hit number 4 on the Hot 200, 2 on the RnB and Hip Hop chart, and number one on the US

Rap chart.

21 Savage would also be making headlines in 2017 for his relationship with Amber Rose,

but according to him, that relationship goes back way longer than we all know about.

And from the looks of things, the relationship's been going pretty well.

The two recently bought each other matching diamond encrusted watches.

There have been engagement rumours, and she bought him a fifty thousand dollar promise

ring.

(Check out Rich Life DB for Loyalty ring 21)

On top of that, there are other signs the relationship is healthy.

21 Savage says she has gotten him into some healthier habits, like taking vitamins and

drinking water.

And she told TMZ,

"I demand sex every day from my boyfriend...It's very healthy."

As for the rest of the story, well, we'll have to wait and see, because this is Before

They Were Famous.

[LAUGHTER]

It's such an aggressive city.

Rockwell B-1 Lancer - US Supersonic Heavy Strategic Bomber [Review] - Duration: 7:31.

The Rockwell B-1 Lancer is a supersonic variable-sweep wing, heavy bomber used by the United States

Air Force. It is commonly called the "Bone". It is one of three strategic bombers in the

USAF fleet as of 2017, the other two being the B-2 Spirit "Stealth Bomber", and the B-52

Stratofortress.

In the early 1990s, following the Gulf War and concurrent with the disestablishment of

SAC and its reassignment to the newly formed Air Combat Command, the B-1B was converted

to conventional bombing use. It first served in combat during Operation Desert Fox in 1998

and again during the NATO action in Kosovo the following year. The B-1B has supported

U.S. and NATO military forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. The USAF had 66 B-1Bs in service

as of September 2012. The B-1B is expected to continue to serve into the 2030s, with

the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider to begin replacing the B-1B after 2025. The B-1s currently

in inventory will reach the end of their service lives by 2045.

Unlike the B-1A, the B-1B cannot reach Mach 2+ speeds; its maximum speed is Mach 1.25

or 1,530 km/h, but its low-level speed increased to Mach 0.92 or 1,130 km/h. The speed of the

current version of the aircraft is limited by the need to avoid damage to its structure

and air intakes. To help lower its radar cross section, the B-1B uses serpentine air intake

ducts and fixed intake ramps, which limit its speed compared to the B-1A. Vanes in the

intake ducts serve to deflect and shield radar emissions from the highly reflective engine

compressor blades.

The B-1's main computer is the IBM AP-101, which is also used on the Space Shuttle orbiter

and the B-52 bomber. The computer is programmed with the JOVIAL programming language.

The B-1's defensive electronics include the Eaton AN/ALQ-161A radar warning and defensive

jamming equipment, which has three sets of antennas; one at the front base of each wing

and the third rear-facing in the tail radome. Also in the tail radome is the AN/ALQ-153

missile approach warning system.

Beginning in 2014, the B-1 was used by the U.S. against the Islamic State in the Syrian

Civil War. From August 2014 to January 2015, the B-1 accounted for eight percent of USAF

sorties during Operation Inherent Resolve. The 9th Bomb Squadron was deployed to Qatar

in July 2014 to support missions in Afghanistan, but when the air campaign against IS began

on 8 August, the aircraft were employed in Iraq. During the Battle of Kobane in Syria,

the squadron's B-1s dropped 660 bombs over 5 months in support of Kurdish forces defending

the city, one-third of all bombs used during OIR during the period, killing some 1,000

ISIL fighters. The 9th Bomb Squadron's B-1s went "Winchester", dropping all weapons on

board, 31 times during their deployment. They dropped over 2,000 JDAMs during the 6-month

rotation. B-1s from the 28th Bomb Wing flew 490 sorties where they dropped 3,800 munitions

on 3,700 targets during a six-month deployment. In February 2016, the B-1s were sent back

to the U.S. for cockpit upgrades.

As part of a USAF organizational realignment announced in April 2015, all B-1B aircraft

are to be reassigned from Air Combat Command to Global Strike Command effective 1 October

2015.

On 8 July 2017, the USAF flew two B-1 Lancers near the North Korean border in a show of

force amid increasing tensions, particularly in response to North Korea's 4 July test of

an ICBM capable of reaching Alaska.

Look Which Celebrity Just Left America—Trump Supporters Tell Her "STAY Out!" - Duration: 2:27.

Look Which Celebrity Just Left America�Trump Supporters Tell Her �STAY Out!�

It�s nothing new for self-righteous egotistical celebrities to complain about President Trump.

Because Hollywood is infested with virtue-signalling liberals, they frequently criticize the man

millions of Americans respect.

During the election, many of these numbskulls threatened to leave the country.

Apparently the would not have been able to stay in America, if Trump became President.

Most of them were lying.

Trump has been in office for a year and they are all still here.

Much to the disappointment of us all.

But it looks like one of the B-listers who complained about Trump is finally leaving!

It only took a royal wedding.

From Business Insider: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are engaged.Clarence

House reported on Monday that the couple will marry in Spring 2018 and will live in Nottingham

Cottage at Kensington Palace�

A statement from Ms. Markle�s parents, Thomas Markle and Doria Ragland, wished the couple

�a lifetime of happiness.�

Ah yes, a lifetime of happiness.

Let�s hope this marriage lasts longer than her first one.

You might remember Markle (or not) for her small roles on TV.

And her attacks against Donald Trump.From The Mirror:

Prince Harry�s rumoured love interest Meghan Markle has threatened to leave America if

Donald Trump becomes president.

The actress also branded the Republican nominee as �misogynistic� as she tore into him

during an interview on the Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore.

The 35-year-old Suits star made her opinion on the controversial figure clear while appearing

on the show on May 4.Protocol dictates that members of the British Royal family must remain

politically impartial.

Oops.

I guess this gal�s toxic politics are bleeding into Royal family policy.

Rumors are swirling that Trump might not be invited to the wedding.

Oh my God!

What are we going to do?

As if the President has the time in his busy schedule it watch a spoiled, entitled man

get married.

The upside to all this is at least one leftist actor is leaving the U.S.

According to reports, she won�t be acting anymore.

"When I Am Up There Dancing, I'm Connecting A Spiritual Past To A Spiritual Presence." - Duration: 6:34.

The first time I ever got up on a box and danced and had my first dollar stuffed into

a speedo, I was hooked.

I love to dance, first of all, but when you're dancing on a dancefloor, you're either dancing

with one person or the people who are just around you, which is fine.

But when you're up on an elevated platform, you're dancing with everybody.

I always knew that if i could get up on another level and dance, that I can dance all night.

And that's the way it's been since that first time at the Bistro in Chicago, when

I got up there and had my first dollar - which I still have, by the way.

This has been going on throughout my whole life.

One day, I was walking down Seventh Avenue South and I walked past this printing firm

and there was a coffee table.

Someone - just seeing it through the glass from the outside sidewalk - someone picked

up this thing on the coffee table and opened it up.

I thought, what is that?

And I stopped.

I saw them doing that, and I thought, that is the coolest thing I've ever seen.

So I went in and picked it up and started playing with it.

This was really cool, so I asked the people behind the desk, "What is this?"

And they said, "Oh, somebody who works here picked that up at a shop over on Greenwich

Avenue."

I just thought, that would be kind of a neat thing to dance with maybe.

So I went to that shop on Greenwich Avenue.

He not only had the ball, but he had it in a glow-in-the-dark variety.

This one was like this dark blue, that I'd seen, but he had a glow-in-the-dark - with

all the ultraviolet lights, it could really be something.

So I bought it, took it home.

Of course, being the ingenious gay that I am, I decided to add mirrors to it, too.

So on all the pivot points, I put little mirrors, which makes me essentially a human disco ball.

I decided to take it out for its first time out for the Black Party, at the Black Party

at Roseland Ballroom.

I remember getting on stage.

I was kind of at the back of the stage, because there are a lot of people up there dancing,

and waiting for a good song to come on.

All of a sudden, I don't remember what the song was, but I thought this it, this is the

one.

And it seemed like - I love the universe, the way it works - but people just sort of

parted to allow me to move to the front.

And I did and I started dancing with it but held it small until the music blew and I then

blew with this and started spinning it.

I was unprepared for the response because all of a sudden, all of these hundreds of

people and thousands maybe just stopped and they were all pointing.

What I didn't realize was that spinning this ball around, it looks more like I'm

spinning a ball of light than anything solid.

And of course, people on drugs and that so they're high anyway, but they're seeing

this guy up there dancing with this.

It was like the missing piece.

I'd been dancing like this all these years with nothing in my hands.

So it was like I'd trained myself for this and it was a natural extension of me.

That was probably about twenty years ago.

So throughout the twenty years, I've done this is so many places.

It's an energy thing for me.

I've done this on - we go on gay cruises now and I'm referred to as the "man with

the ball," which always worry - makes me sound like I've got one big testicle.

But it's still, you know, I'm the "man with the ball."

I've been on the streets here in New York and people come up and say, "Excuse me,

are you the man with the ball?"

So I guess this is part of my legacy and I don't mind it because I enjoy being the

man with the ball.

As I've gotten into my advanced years now, I do have in the back of my mind, when's

the time to quit?

When have they seen of me enough?

When are they saying, oh my god, get her down from there with that damn ball?

But as recently as last year, we were at the rapido in Amsterdam, and I looked down and

there's this beautiful cherubic face with a beard and had these sparkling eyes and going

like this to me.

So I leaned down.

He says, "Promise me something."

I didn't even know who he was but I said, "Sure.

Sure.

What?"

He said, "Promise me you'll never stop doing that."

I said, "Okay!"

So now I've made a promise that I won't.

My husband, Eric, says that "Between Michael's ball and his mouth, we meet everybody."

It's true.

Some of our best friends are people who came up to me because of the ball.

So some of the closest people in our lives now have all started with the ball.

For me, parties, circuit parties, the whole thing is a spiritual experience.

It is communing not only with these people out here - and this is the other part of it,

the metaphysical part of it - I never go out dancing without talking to my buddies on the

other side.

When I am up there dancing and connecting with these people, I know that I am connecting

with those people, too, and that they're just coming through me and I'm spreading

them out and then pulling the others in, and I'm connecting a spiritual past to a spiritual

presence.

And that's what I'm doing out there.

I feel like I'm a conductor.

And the ball just makes it a little easier because it's an attention-getting thing.

I know there must be people who look at me and say, "Oh my god, does he ever have a

need for attention!"

It isn't that at all.

It's the fact that it's the only place where I am fed by this spiritual energy constantly

and I can't not do it.

"Your Son Is Being Seen Around Town With Known Homosexuals." - Duration: 5:59.

After having come out, not to my parents, just come out in the gay world, I know my

parents noticed a shift in my activities, a shift in my friendships.

These are two very good, kind, loving people who are devoted to their religion and devoted

to their children.

So, you really don't want to ask too many questions in that situation because maybe

they're starting to get an inkling about that I might be gay but probably wouldn't

even discuss it with themselves.

There came a time when I was coming home from college for the weekend.

I think I took a bus home and my dad picked me up at the bus station.

On the way home, he told me about a telephone call he had gotten at work.

A gentleman who did not identify himself had said, you know, "I just want you to know

that your son is being seen around town with known homosexuals and you should do something

about this before they turn him into one."

So, you know, I was taken aback a little bit.

But I said immediately, "Well, Dad, I am a known homosexual myself.

I'm gay and I know that I'm gay."

He didn't seem shocked by this information.

He jumped in immediately and said, "I love you.

Your mother and I love you.

We're there for you.

We don't really understand how this happened."

So when we got home, we sat down with my mother, too, because obviously she was privy to this

information as well.

The three of us sat down and discussed.

I didn't give them many details at all but that I'm gay, I'm happy being gay, this

is who I am.

So their initial response was to send me to a therapist.

I went for one visit.

It was a Catholic therapist, too, you know, so.

He actually told my parents that he thought I was quite well-adjusted and that they probably

shouldn't worry much about me, which was a blessing.

From that point on, their reaction was more containment.

And that's the way it would stay for a long time.

I would bring friends home from college or after I moved away out of Louisville, I'd

bring boyfriends home.

They accepted everyone that I ever brought through the front door.

They were kind, gracious.

Never wanted to know what the relationship was, really.

I'm sure they must have known.

They loved all these guys that I brought home.

I think it probably made them happy that I did have people in my life, but of course

they wouldn't ask questions and it stayed that way for close to twenty years, probably.

Until my partner - I got into a long term relationship and, of course, I would bring

him home all the time.

His name was Chase, and they knew him very well.

About five years into the relationship, he was diagnosed with HIV and full-blown AIDS

all at the same time.

And I knew this was a point where, okay, you know, we have to get real with each other

now.

So I sat down and wrote a very long letter to them.

I remember the first line was "Oh my God!

A letter from Mikey!

What's wrong?"

So I said, "Nothing's wrong, really, but I have things I need to tell you about."

The phone rings and they're both on.

One's on one extension, one's on the other.

They were so supportive.

They asked questions, actually, because they weren't prone to asking questions.

And they asked questions about Chase, how is he doing.

They responded very well.

Again, these are two very kind, loving people.

And they had grown also.

And my father as well, too, it opened the door.

He was never really that comfortable talking about it.

But one time, when I came home on a weekend and he - I was taking him to work.

I don't remember what triggered the conversation, but all of a sudden, he said, "You know,

I want you to understand.

A parent can't love one child more than another, but," he said, "I want you to

understand that I know that you've had a more difficult row to hoe than most people."

And he said, "I want you to know how proud I am of you for how you've lived your life."

And I realized later that I could have probably opened up the dialogue much earlier than I

had.

But you just don't know these things.

And as long as things were going really well between us, you know, I just didn't feel

a need.

I think it would be important to understand your parents first, because not everyone can

be upfront with their parents, and to understand that there might be consequences, negative

consequences.

It did bother me that there was so much of my life that I didn't share with them, and

I realized that I probably could have much earlier than I did.

So I would say sooner rather than later is what I would tell most people who are thinking

about coming out to their parents.

Early 1960s: Seeing The Word "Gay" In A Magazine "Changed My Life Instantly." - Duration: 3:36.

So when you're a little gay boy, you don't know it, really, that you're a little gay

boy.

There's no word detached it.

You just know that there's something different about you.

I certainly did.

I remember coming home from school on the first day, first grade, and my parents, or

maybe it was my older brother, asked me, you know, "What little girl do you like?"

Now, I knew that I really liked a little boy in the class and he was really cute - blonde

hair, blue eyes.

But I also knew that I couldn't answer honestly.

I knew at that age I had to cover up.

I picked out the cutest little girl in class and said her name.

This is the 1950s and you didn't grow up with the "Will and Grace" or anything like

that so there was nothing that you can attach to.

I remember probably when I was about 12 years old, I'd say 12 or 13, we'd get Look Magazine

every week.

It's a big magazine with pictorials.

They had one issue that was devoted to the American male.

I remember paging through this magazine and I opened it up to this article, and what stopped

me probably was a very handsome man with an earring, I'd never seen anything like that

before.

And the title of the article was "The Sad Gay Life of the Homosexual."

Didn't mean anything - gay, homosexual didn't really mean anything to me.

But I started reading and reading, and all of a sudden it was like a bolt of lightning

to me.

Homosexual.

That's it!

They're men who like men.

It changed my entire life instantly.

I had a name.

I had - this is me!

This is me!

A homosexual.

And gay, I saw the word "gay," too.

Obviously, the article wasn't a very positive one with a title like that, but the focus

of the article really was on how these were very unhappy people.

I do remember reading it.

I digested the information but none of it really meant anything to me.

None of it went to my core.

What went to my core of where the truth is really kept was that there was a word "homosexual"

and there was a word "gay" and it described me.

I don't really even remember all the negative things they said about these sad, depraved

creatures of the night.

What I really remember was that they talked about men going to gay bars in New York and

San Francisco.

So I knew right then and there when I was old enough to leave Louisville, I would pack

up my bags and move to either San Francisco and New York because one of the gay bars was

in San Francisco and the other one was in New York.

In my mind, you know, there were so few of us that there would be one and the other.

So I knew that eventually I would get one of those cities.

Little did I know, I found this out when I came out at 17 years old, there were three

gay bars in Louisville, Kentucky, alone!

Who knew?

That was really my, you know, my beginning of understanding who I was and what I was

and that I wasn't alone.

How to Throw a Holiday Dinner Party on a Budget - Duration: 3:13.

Hey, y'all it's your girl Haley. I'm the girl behind Brewing Happiness

Which is a health and happiness website with recipes for all definitions of health. And today

I am here to talk to you about how to create a cheap and

beautiful and delicious

dinner party for the holidays for your friends and family.

So we're gonna kind of talk about all aspects of the dinner party and how to make those affordable

And I've also attached an example dinner party menu

And then we're gonna talk a little bit about just generally how to make dinner parties a little bit more

cost-effective. So the first tip I have for your dinner party is to thrift your plates.

I would say go to your local Goodwill or thrift store and find some

$2 plates that you can use maybe you find a set or maybe you just get a bunch of plates that speak to you and

use those.

Don't stress over

not having the right plates. It can be

really cheap to go get some fun festive plates at your local thrift store. The second tip

I have is it can be really cost effective to decorate your tablescape with

leaves, like eucalyptus or evergreen leaves. Or the other thing I really like to do to add some really nice fun

holiday decoration is to go to my local Dollar Tree and find a

bunch of decorations there and say I don't necessarily love

exactly how they look I buy gold spray paint and I

Spray it all gold or silver or something like that so you can make things look uniform

and you can make things look really nice and fancy that are actually very cheap. The third rule for having a

cost-effective dinner party is to make it BYOB.

Alcohol is another super expensive thing to add on to a full menu for a dinner party

So I would say don't take on that cost ask other people to bring their own alcohol.

And you just focus on the food and focus on the table and bringing people together.

Tip number four, and this is a big one, is to serve soup as your main dish. Soup is really filling

it's really delicious and

it's pretty cheap. I have two examples of soups that I use at my holiday parties

one is a meatless black-eyed pea soup, and the other is a lentil and sweet potato chili.

I think both are really delicious, really easy to make and

will definitely satisfy people. Tip number five is to go meatless for your dinner party.

I promise with a hearty soup

no one is gonna miss a meat based protein. The last tip is to not go overboard with desserts.

So maybe you repurpose some gifts put them on a nice tray and let other people try the gifts that you've gotten or you make

one kind of cookie and that's it. The holidays are already packed with enough cookies, so don't go overboard there

So I think with those six tips you can have an amazing dinner party for your friends or family

And it will not cost you a lot of money. Again,

I've added an example dinner party menu, with the cost breakdown, so you can check that out

I hope that you have a beautiful holiday. As always, follow me on social media @brewinghappiness

I will see you guys next time. Bye!

New Year's Eve 1969: First Gay Kiss, On A Riverboat In The Snow. - Duration: 6:18.

Having come out in Louisville in 1969, I was 17 going on 18.

Obviously, I couldn't get in to any gay bars in Louisville.

We had our little hang outs where clusters of twinkies - although we didn't have that

word then but that's what we were - hung out at little restaurants and outside bar areas.

But I really wanted to get into a gay bar.

I just really wanted.

And we found out that there was a cruise New Year's Eve going out of Cincinnati.

For some reason, since it was on a riverboat on the river, we can get on at 18.

And this was New Year's Eve going from 1969 to 1970.

So we made a plan to go up to this floating gay bar, essentially, on the Ohio River.

I concocted this crazy story to my parents - I still living at home at the time - about

going out to a New Year's Eve party and then we were going to stay out late so we

can go to mass the next morning.

You know, being a good Catholic boy, and because that's a holy day of obligation - January

1st - so you're supposed to go to Mass anyway.

So I concocted this whole story so that I can be out late enough and have a reason to

be out late enough so that I could get home at like 6 or 7 in the morning.

So we pile into the car, all my twinkie friends and I, and off we go to Cincinnati.

And we get on this riverboat and it's everything I imagined it to be because there're gay guys

everywhere.

My little Louisville world is very small and then suddenly there were big city guys in

this place.

So we take off on the river and it was a beautiful night, it was so much fun, New Year's Eve

on a riverboat with surrounded by nothing but gay guys.

And it started snowing.

It was magical because we're going out and looking out and seeing all the snow.

I met this one boy.

As I recall, I was standing close to the bar and and feeling very good about myself because

I had - this was the year of the chocolate brown shirt and I have my chocolate brown

shirt and my striped flares and - hey, it was 1969 - he came up to me and just started

talking.

I'm sure he was the aggressor more than I was because I was in unchartered territory.

We hung out for most of the time together.

As I recall it was getting close to the midnight hour for New Year's Eve.

That's when I suppose he took me by the hand and took me out to the front of the boat,

out under the bow of the boat.

In my mind, it was at that midnight hour, I'm not certain that it was, but in my mind

it was a new year's eve kiss.

And I standing on the bow of this floating gay bar riverboat on Ohio River with snow

swirling all around us, I couldn't imagine anything much more romantic than that.

Well, there is a downside to the snow, however, because by the time we finally got back into

shore, it was a really coming down and there was no way we can get back to Louisville,

Kentucky.

It's about a two hour and ten minute drive under regular circumstances, Problem is, obviously,

I have to call home and tell my parents, you know.

I did.

An older gentlemen got us a hotel room, which was very kind of him.

We piled into this this one room in a hotel.

I had to call my parents and tell them I wasn't coming home.

I still, I could hear, my mother answered the phone, but I could hear my father in the

background, "What the hell is he doing in Cincinnati?"

So I don't remember exactly what I told them.

Something to the effect of well, you know, the party wasn't going well and my friends

had some friends in Cincinnati and there was a party in Cincinnati so we just decided to

go there.

Of course, nothing about a gay riverboat.

So that was my job my first gay kiss on New Year's Eve in the snow on the bow of a riverboat

on the Ohio River.

To be in a place where I was surrounded by nothing but other gay men was monumental for

me.

You know, it's like, you know, a flower finding it soil.

I had understood that this was my environment and the proverbial duck to water.

I just - I felt at home, you know.

When you feel misplaced because you don't quite fit in and then suddenly you're in an

environment where you do fit and everybody is there supporting you and you're supporting

them - it was a watershed moment for me.

Late 1980s: "When I Think I Have A Problem, I Think Back To That Time For Randy." - Duration: 8:01.

It was the mid-to-late 80s and my best friend Randy had been sick for quite a while.

It was clear he was dying.

We'd lived together in Louisville, we'd live together in Chicago, we'd lived together

in San Francisco.

We were always best friends, never lovers.

But he stayed in San Francisco, I moved to Boston.

So we had a coast-to-coast friendship at that point.

He was living out there with his boyfriend at the time, but his boyfriend was not capable

of taking care of Randy in his advanced stages of AIDS.

So I flew out to the West Coast to help him wrap things up and essentially take him back

home to Louisville to die.

This was what so many gay people faced at the time.

We set Warren up in a new apartment, got him all situated, moved all of Randy's things

in there, and then Randy and I set off for Louisville.

As we waited to board, I made a tactical error.

We should have boarded first but because he was moving so slowly at that point, we waited

till the end.

As we boarded the flight, the first thing that registered to me was the horrified look

on the flight attendants' faces.

This was San Francisco in the late 80s.

Clearly, Randy didn't have one of the acceptable diseases like cancer, leukemia, he had AIDS.

There was no question about it.

It was a time when people didn't really understand the disease or how it was spread.

So we turned to go down the aisle and it seemed like every face on that plane was watching

us.

When we got to our aisle, our row, the gentleman in the aisle seat got up and made way for

us to sit down.

I quickly grabbed his barfbag and put it in my pocket because I wanted to make sure I

was prepared.

I needn't have worried, he didn't return.

He found some place else to sit on the plane.

I remember looking at Randy sitting in his window seat, all hunched over.

This was a man who was four years my junior who at this point looked 40 years my senior.

This shriveled, little, old man sitting next to me, I could hardly believe was my friend

Randy.

Got him to Louisville and he went right into the hospital with pneumocystis.

Usually, when that happens, when you were that far advanced with pneumocystis, it's

the end.

He had a wonderfully supportive family, terrific people, and we were all in the hospital room

constantly with him.

And I remember sitting at his side and looking into his eyes and wondering when - how many

minutes were left.

He was looking at me and a tear escaped out of his eye and I wiped it off with my finger,

and then I looked down at my finger and remembered that I had a papercut on that same finger.

And the thought that - oh my God - could I contract HIV from a tear from my best friend's

eye?

It was like this horrible treasonous thought, and yet I did remember wiping it off on my

pants leg and feeling much smaller for the action of doing that.

He was days from dying and then all of a sudden, as happened with this disease, he suddenly

started getting better.

He was responding to whatever treatment they were giving him.

The pneumocystis went away.

He started getting better.

He started getting stronger.

I went back to Boston.

He stayed with his parents.

He was getting better and better and better.

At the same point, Warren, out in San Francisco, his boyfriend that we had set up in the apartment,

was diagnosed with AIDS.

So Randy picks up and moves back to San Francisco to take care of Warren this time.

And Warren wasn't the fighter that Randy was, so Warren went downhill really fast.

So Randy moved into the apartment that we had rented for Warren, and all of Randy's

things were in there.

During their relationship, Randy had asked many times about his family.

And he said, "I have nothing to do my family."

He said, "They're bible-thumping Christians from Southern California."

And that's all Randy knew about them.

Well, unfortunately, when Warren took a turn for the worse in the hospital, the hospital

had next-of-kin information and phoned the parents in Southern California, who didn't

even know their son was gay, that he was dying of AIDS.

So the mother and sister came up from Southern California.

Didn't want to even know that Randy existed, but they moved into the apartment with Randy.

And one day, when he was out, they locked him out.

They had the locks changed and locked him out of his own apartment that he had rented

for Warren, full of all his own things.

To make matters worse, one day when Randy was there - like I said, you never knew whether

death was imminent or whether someone was going to bounce back - and he left Warren

one evening when he was still alive and as well as could be expected.

And Warren died that night.

They notified the parents, the parents came - or the mother and sister came for the body.

Loaded up a U-Haul with all of Randy's belongings and disappeared into Southern California,

and left Randy, with AIDS, with a dead and vanished lover, and homeless.

I think sometimes, when I think I have a problem, I think back to that time for Randy and the

strength and fortitude that it took for him.

I remember being in Boston when all of this happened.

There was nothing I could do for him.

A friend took him in.

He stayed out in California and continued to do okay.

We'd talk on the phone every day.

I remember talking to him and he said, "I don't know what to do with my life.

I'm feeling better.

I don't know if I am going to live.

I don't know if I'm going to die."

I said, "This is Sunday night.

What do you usually do with your Sunday nights?"

I knew the answer to this.

He said, "Well, Warren and I would always go to the beer bust at the Eagle."

I said, "Go to the beer bust at the Eagle.

Do something normal."

"Okay," he said, "I'm going to go to the Eagle and I'm going to wear my white

oxford cloth shirt and jeans and penny loafers."

Because that was his favorite outfit and Warren would never let him wear that to the Eagle.

He went to the Eagle and he's standing out there among all that leather and jeans.

And across that crowded space, he sees a man in a white oxford cloth shirt, jeans and penny

loafers.

And there's this instant attraction.

His name is Art.

He went home with Art and spent of his life with Art, until he died.

And then Art died two years later.

It was an incredibly cruel story that, apart from dying, had a very happy ending because

he was loved and cared for for the last two years of his life by a man who absolutely

adored him who he absolutely adored.

Early 1980s: Fear Of Death "Gave Me A New Freedom That I'd Never Had Before." - Duration: 4:10.

In the early 80s, people started dying all around you.

If you were gay, people were dying.

I started having friends getting sick and dying one after the other.

You couldn't avoid it.

If you were out and gay in the 80s, this was happening all around you.

I think a lot of people don't realize there was no HIV test for quite some time, so you

never knew whether you had it or not.

And I made the assumption that with friends dying all around me, I'd be next.

Anything that they'd done, I'd done.

No one really knew exactly what was causing this, but I knew that I was in maybe the last

year of my life or so.

I was certain of it.

It actually gave me a new freedom that I'd never had before.

A freedom that was based in the fear of dying but then also - maybe not even the fear of

dying, just the reality of dying.

Everybody else was dying, so my turn - it was just a matter of time.

So I dramatically changed my life.

So I quit my job, sold the BMW and changed my life dramatically and started my own little

business, store design business, and it actually started going quite well.

I was surprised at that.

What was more surprising was that I wasn't getting sick, which was good news, but I kind

of changed my life to accommodate dying soon, and it seemed like I wasn't dying.

Eventually, when the HIV test was developed, I still didn't take it because there was

no treatment.

So what was the use of knowing if there was no treatment?

So I still didn't want to know.

But it gave me an appreciation for life in the moment that I hadn't had before.

It was always about planning.

I was very driven in my early career.

I had to be a vice president by the time I was 30, and I was a vice president by the

time I was 30.

I had to have this, I had to have that.

I had a great apartment, I thought, in Chicago, but ended up in Boston, so then I lived in

a beautiful apartment in Beacon Hill in Boston.

All these things that I thought were important suddenly weren't important anymore because

of what I had to do in my lifestyle to support all of that.

So then I shifted my lifestyle and I found out I could still keep the apartment in Beacon

Hill.

I didn't want the BMW anymore because owning a BMW in Boston - which means "Break My

Window" - was a nightmare.

So I learned a lot about living in the present, because that's all you have, really, if

you're convinced that you have no future.

Eventually when I did finally take the test, I was HIV negative.

So it seemed that while everyone else was dying, I wasn't going to.

So I again sort of adjusted my life, but never went back to the insecurity of having to have

a real job and I thought, I'm going to stay self-employed.

I lived really for today and as long as I felt I was taking care of today, tomorrow

would be fine.

And when I get to tomorrow, I'll deal with tomorrow as today.

So that was really the gift that AIDS gave me.

It took an awful lot away, an awful lot of friends, loved ones.

I miss them all today.

But the one thing that it gave me was the ability and the understanding of living life

in the moment and living today for today.

Post-It Note Snaps Man Out Of Grief: "The Laughter Was As Uncontrollable As The Crying." - Duration: 7:12.

My partner Chase died October 23, 1993, which was 10 years to the day that we met.

I had, after that point, sort of receded behind the walls of our Beacon Hill apartment.

Having lost Chase, my best friend Randy, and dozens of friends before them left me with

sort of a paralyzing numbness.

I cried all my tears and packed it away for the winter, you know, behind those walls,

and really just stopped feeling anything.

You know, feeling was just too difficult at that time.

I had Chase's body cremated and I'd gotten several notices from the crematorium to pick

up Mr. Leon's ashes.

I just couldn't do it.

I guess it was the finality of the situation but I just couldn't make myself go out into

the cold, brutal Boston fall/winter and pick those ashes up, so they just stayed where

they were.

They were in four boxes because Chase had requested that his ashes be disposed of in

four different places.

I could foresee a future where I was going to have to divide ashes into four and I wanted

no part of such a thing, so I asked them to do that.

So they were holding those four boxes in South Boston somewhere and I was doing my best to

just avoid the whole ash situation.

Christmas was approaching and, as I said, I was just so depressed.

Christmas is my favorite time of year.

I was always of the "If it doesn't move, decorate it" school of decorating, crazy

with Christmas.

Chase wasn't as much so, but he enjoyed the fact that I enjoyed it so much.

Well, it was just me and I started realizing I didn't buy any Christmas presents that

year, I didn't bake any cookies, I just didn't do all the things that gave me so

much joy usually.

When I realized I wasn't going to have a Christmas tree, I got even worse.

I had never had a Christmas without a Christmas tree and I thought, well, that's what you're

going to do for yourself.

Go out and get a Christmas tree.

So I went out and got a Christmas tree.

I put it up, started decorating.

I had all of the boxes of stuff out.

I had carols on.

I had mulled cider.

If I planned ahead, I may would have invited people over and it would have been better,

but I hadn't.

So I wouldn't have been there, wallowing in self-pity, but that's just what I was

doing - wallowing in self-pity.

I remember just getting partially done and I just sat down on the chair, ornaments in

hand and surrounded by this mess.

I don't know how long I'd been that way and the doorbell rang.

I couldn't imagine who it was, but we had a garden apartment so I had to go outside

into the garden and open the big gate that I'd been hiding behind for months.

There was this skinny man, all dressed in black, of course, with - a Dickensian-looking

man, right out of central casting for somebody who would be told to bring ashes.

There were four boxes in his hands and I recognized them immediately.

Chase's ashes.

So I walked back into the house and closed the door and sat down where I was before the

doorbell rang, with those four boxes.

They were all like little cubes about that big, four of them, just resting heavily in

my lap.

All of that pent up grief that I'd just been storing just all came out at that moment.

At possibly the worst moment of my life, through the bleariness of all this crying, I looked

down at those boxes, just holding them in my arms, and I noticed a little yellow Post-It

note on top of one of them.

I just kind of wiped my eyes and read it.

Clearly it was meant to be removed before the boxes were delivered.

It said, "Deliver four boxes of Leon to Michael Anastasio."

This struck me as funny.

In the midst of all that crying, Chase had a great sense of the absurd, and all of a

sudden, it was like I was seeing that note through his eyes.

"Deliver four boxes of Leon."

That was his last name, Chase Leon.

Four boxes of Leon.

All of a sudden, I started chuckling.

And then I started laughing.

And then suddenly, the laughter was as uncontrollable as the crying had been.

It was like I had released so much grief that all of a sudden, this one little post-it note

that some little office worker must've written out and stuck on there saved my life.

I think probably what it did was it resurrected him for a minute because I saw the note through

his eyes.

Four boxes of him.

Just the thought of four boxes of Chase - too funny.

I looked around that room and - it may sound corny or whatever - but it was like everything

in that room came to life suddenly.

There was so much death and dying and sadness in that room, and then all of a sudden, it

just sparkled with life.

Everything, everything that I saw, it was just like he was in every molecule around

me.

It was just this beautiful experience where suddenly everything had been about death and

suffering, now everything was life.

I got out the prettiest wrapping paper that I had, wrapped all of them - very good gift

wrapper - wrapped them all.

Best ribbon that I had and tied them up and made these beautiful, four beautiful bows,

and I put those four boxes of Leon under the Christmas tree.

And that was my Christmas that year.

It was that little Post-It note.

I'm not sure what I would've done without that little Post-It note, but it changed everything

for me and it seemed like that was my hurdle.

I had to get rid of that grief somehow, and those four boxes arriving - you know, if I

was looking for something to pick things up, getting for boxes of your deceased lover's

ashes while you are decorating a Christmas tree is not going to cheer you up, but the

Post-It note did.

1971: Drag Queens In Louisville "Widened My Scope Of What I Was Comfortable With." - Duration: 6:42.

I went to school at University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky.

So it would have been around 1970, 71.

And it had a gay bar - The Living Room - that I knew I had to get into that gay bar somehow.

I met a guy that was very clever at changing license - driver's license birthdates.

So he worked on mine and made me 21 years old, even though I was only - maybe I was

19 by then.

So I get to go to my first gay bar.

The gay bar was on Main Street - that's where the front door was.

I don't think anyone ever used the front door of that bar because it was on Main Street.

The back faced a parking area which was dark, and that's where everyone parked.

And the first thing that I found out was - I was driving - he instructed me to back the

car into the wall because he said - we didn't have front license plates in those days in

Kentucky, we only had rear license plates - you had to back the license plate up to

the building so that it couldn't be read because police would apparently ride down

behind the gay bar and take down the license numbers and put you on the list of suspected

homosexuals.

This was terrifying to me because the car that I was driving was registered to my father,

whose name is also Michael, just like mine.

So I could see something really terrible would happen, so I would always make sure that that

license plate couldn't be read.

So I go into the gay bar for my first time, and in those days the gay bars were usually

a Paris whorehouse motif, or an English hunt motif, or a Cowboy bunkhouse, you know, that

sort of thing, on the main level.

And then they always had a floor upstairs or downstairs, and whichever one it was was

where the dancing was and the shows, if they happen to have drag shows.

And so it was at The Living Room where I met my first drag queens.

My two best buddies were like the Mutt and Jeff of drag queens.

Wilfred was about, I'd say, 6-foot-4, African American.

Couldn't've weighed more than 150 lbs.

I don't know what it is about tall guys who want to go in drag, but always, you know,

it seems like the taller you are, the more likely it is you're going to want to be

in drag.

And then his little buddy, who I think's name was Leo, was about 5-4, also African

American.

And they were just - I was fascinated by these two because I'd never met any drag queens,

and in or out of drag, they were a hoot.

So I remember one time when Wilfred said he had something very special planned where he

was doing a show.

He said that I had to be there that night, so I showed up that night.

It was probably 1970 and the Broadway show "Pearly" was on Broadway, a musical.

And there was a number from it called - I hadn't heard it before - called "I Got

Love" that Melba Moore sang.

So Wilfred's on stage with a tiny spotlight just on his head and starts out very quiet,

very slow, "He thinks I'm afraid," you know, it's very soft.

And all of a sudden, it's one of those songs, it's Broadway, one of those songs that just

blows out into this, "I got love, I got love, I got love."

I had never seen such a performance before.

I had seen drag queens perform and they were just up there lip-syncing, but this was a

flat-out performance.

It changed my idea of what drag performances could be.

He was very good.

So that was a fun experience that I had with Wilfred and his "I Got Love" performance.

I also learned from them the bane of existence for a drag queen in those days, especially

if you're a big drag queen like Wilfred, was getting shoes that fit.

Nowadays I'm sure it's easy with the internet and that, but big feet, little women's shoes.

I learned the terms "shrimp" and "biscuit."

"Shrimp" was when your foot was too big and it curled over the ends of the shoes and

it looked like shrimp.

And then, with the sandal back, with the heel that hung over the back, and that was "biscuit."

And to this day, I've never forgotten those terms because they're so descriptive, you

know, "shrimp" and "biscuit."

And they would talk about each other, "Oh she's giving us much shrimp and biscuit."

But they did - my drag queen association in those days really kind of open my eyes to

a world and accepting people in the gay world who were so different from the way I was,

and appreciating them and enjoying them and just, again, widening my scope of what I was

comfortable with.

Often times, I hear, you know, in the gay world, "Oh, this person's too nelly."

I think sometimes, within the gay world, we tend to group maybe a little bit too closely

together with certain subgroups within the gay world.

I'm so happy that my horizons were expanded at a young age and I came to realize that

being gay is not monolithic.

We're not all the same.

The same-sex attraction, maybe, the same - but within that, there's so many different types.

Watch a gay pride parade and you can see that.

Every type you can imagine.

And so I think that it's - the important part of that story to me is just the level

of acceptance of other gay people who aren't like me.

So I think that's probably the most important thing.
