1990s rock band, Gin Blossoms, play in Boston tonight at Royale. What a flashback. Who else remembers when their song, Jealousy, first came out?

Happy Australia Day
My fellow blogger, Brenton posted this YouTube video featuring Olympian Matthew Mitcham and the very handsome Dan Murphy. They’ve made an entertaining 2 minute video that mashes up 18 classic Australian songs.
Even though Australia Day is Jan. 26th – I’m posting this tonight because it is actually the 26th already in Australia. So go out and celebrate a bit early.
One Today: Richard Blanco
I love poetry even though sometimes I cannot follow or fully appreciate the prose. Yesterday’s Presidential Inauguration featured Richard Blanco reading his poem One Today to the President and the nation. Blanco is a Cuban-American who happens to be gay and lives in New England (Maine to be exact). In lieu of posting the full text (which you can read here), I’ve inserted the video of his reading. His poem stresses unity and the common bonds that touch us all.
Cirque du Soleil’s Scottish Fantasy
Men in kilts are damned sexy and everyone knows it. Just as every man looks like he’s a bit taller and has broader shoulders when they slip into a tuxedo, there is something incredibly masculine about a man wearing this traditional Scottish garb and Cirque du Soleil knows it.
Cirque du Soleil recently released this behind the scenes video entitled “Scottish Fantasy” to promote their show Zumanity in Las Vegas. If you’ve not seen the clip, feel free to check it out below.
Best father daughter dance ever
In the US it is customary for a bride to have a special dance with her father, but I’ve never seen anything quite like this before. It makes me wish I knew the family and had been invited to this wedding.
Boston No Pants Subway Ride
After a few hiccups trying to load this video from yesterday’s No Pants Subway Ride in Boston, the two minute video has now posted on YouTube.
Miss all the fun or perhaps you participated in this annual event; check out the video. If you didn’t participate in the event this year, perhaps you will join me and the 500+ others next January for the No Pants Subway Ride in 2014.
Bare chested man and a water balloon
I admit it that I’m shallow, but I’m banking that more than a few of you will also be intrigued to watch this 2 minute clip.
Abdominal work out from the 80s
Blogger, Ajax in the City posted this abdominal work out video from the 80’s on his blog. I keep expecting Olivia Newton John to come walking out singing “Physical”. The entire clip is totally ridiculous, but I couldn’t help but watch it all the way through. I should ask my personal trainer for his thoughts. 😉
Single Ladies Gone Wrong
I don’t know how I missed this video and want to thank my friend Joe for sharing this classic. The video’s title, Single Ladies Gone Wrong, really sums this up best. I promise this will give you a good chuckle.
Boston artist Maxine Blomberg
Maxine Blomberg is an artist living in Boston who I became friendly with a few years ago when she started working at the neighborhood cafe, Green Light.
Each week at the Green Light Cafe Maxine creates new chalk art on a chalk board by the register. I really like her unique style and each week look forward to seeing her illustrations at the cafe. Her employer, The Aquitaine Group, recognized her talent as well and has encouraged her artistic illustrations. They asked her to create a replication of the Trevi Fountain all in chalk for their new restaurant, Cinquecento, a Roman-inspired trattoria. You can check out the chalk art, which is on display at the trendy new South End restaurant, or you may visit Green Light Cafe to see her weekly creations. Under the Cinquecento chalk drawing I have included a video my other half created that includes nearly all of her 2012 chalk board images from The Green Light Cafe. Maxine’s first love is working with sculpture and headdresses which you can see some of on her website, enixvw.wordpress.com.

Boston No Pants Subway Ride
The 2013 No Pants Subway Ride in Boston is in two weeks on Sunday, January 13th.
If you would like to participate, “Like” their facebook event page The No Pants Subway Ride or visit, BostonSoS.org to register.
I started doing this with my other half a few years ago and each year its a great time. Last year Sergio and I opted for a superhero theme. I’ll write a bit more about this as the event date approaches, but I’d encourage you to register if this sounds like something you’d enjoy.
My crazy partner
Year in rewind: BosGuy’s favorite posts from 2012
This was one of those “gotcha” moments. Sergio totally surprised me with this quick video message that he sent me in June.
*****
Work brought me into New York City for a couple of days. My lunatic boyfriend emailed me this video of himself to make me laugh and remember to call. I thought I’d upload it to YouTube so everyone could see my crazy partner; and by the way I called him – definitely.
The Harvard Baseball team video that inspired his cute message
Incredible Illusions and Science
Thanks to Towleroad for sharing this very cool video. Released on Christmas Day, this video is already making the rounds on blogs. If you have not seen this yet, enjoy and share.
2012 Atlantis Caribbean Cruise on the Allure
Year in rewind: BosGuy’s favorite posts from 2012
To celebrate my partner’s birthday, I saved all during 2011 to surprise him with a cruise to celebrate. Attending a gay cruise had been on his bucket list. This was first published in Feb 2012.
*****
I’ve recently returned from my first cruise. There were eight of us in total who joined thousands of gay men from around the world for the Atlantis seven day cruise through the Western Caribbean.
Perhaps you’re curious to see what one of these cruises is like. It’s impossible to capture everything; there’s too much to see and do, but here is a quick video of my take on the 2012 Atlantis Caribbean Cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas.
I’m So Excited
Los amantes pasajeros otherwise known as I’m So Excited is Pedro Almodóvar’s next movie.
According to IMDB, I’m So Excited is set to open in Spain in March 2013 and stars Penélope Cruz and Antonio Banderas.
While I’m no movie buff, this film looks like something I’d enjoy watching. Check out the promo trailer I’ve included below.
