You can’t sit still listening, can you?
My friend Jerome Vivona shared this post by Steven H. Nowak on Facebook.
I have to say I agree with just about everything here:
22 ADULT TRUTHS
1. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times; and still not know what time it is.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind-of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blu-Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection… again.
13. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of a Word document and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
14. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with “Miller Lite” than “Kay”.
17. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
18 How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear or understand a word they said?
19. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
20. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Jeans? Jeans never get dirty; and you can wear them forever.
21. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket; finding their cell phone; and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey… but I’d bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
22. The first testicular guard, the “Cup,” was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it took only 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.
The MTV Movie Awards are always a wild and irreverent celebration of the films, stars, and music that capture our attention each year. And with the hilarious Rebel Wilson set to host the 2013 awards show live on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the irreverence is sure to party on.
Not only will we get an entire evening of Rebel Wilson wildness, word is we can expect the first live reunion of the Pitch Perfect cast, slated to perform an epic musical mash-up.
And then there’s the first-ever three-way “Celebrity Catfish,” where Joe Manganiello (!!!), Mark Whalberg, and Anna Kendrick are all vying for Rebel Wilson’s love. Check out the video clip above.

Matt R. Salmon, the openly gay son of conservative congressman Rep. Matt Salmon (R-AZ), talks to Anderson Cooper about still being loved by his family, although his parents campaign against his right to marry.
“I finally realized that no matter what our differences and opinions are, we have to love and support each other. And since then, our relationship has really grown stronger. And I’ve watched as my dad has just really been a huge supporter of me….Yes, he doesn’t support gay marriage, but that’s no reason that I shouldn’t love him, or just accept him for who he is. I hope that he changes his position” on marriage rights for same-sex couples.”
Watching the interview, I get an air of melancholy. Maybe I’m right on that, or maybe he’s just got low blood sugar or something. But his demeanor seemed to carry a sense of sadness about it.
Listening to younger Salmon’s reasoning, the situation seems to be: he respects his parent’s views and opinions but they don’t have to respect his.
I’m not sure how you live in a great head space knowing your parents sent you to “reparative therapy” hoping to change who you intrinsically are.
And when Anderson asks if Matt’s family would be “ok” meeting someone he was dating, note the pause in his answer: “I, I believe so… yeah.”
“I believe so”?
In other words, it hasn’t happened?
Sadness just hangs over the whole thing…
Who knew beavers could move like this?

In anticipation of his E! TV show – What Would Ryan Lochte Do? – Ryan took time for a quick interview and shirtless photo-shoot with Cosmopolitan:
Cosmo: What are we going to see you doing on your new show?
Ryan Lochte: My biggest passion is swimming, but it’s a sport that doesn’t really get talked about until the Olympics, unlike baseball, football, and bas ketball, which are on TV all the time. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to do this show. I want people to enjoy the sport as much as I do. My whole family swims! You can pretty much say chlorine runs in our veins.
Cosmo: What about your family? We hear you’re tight with them. Will they be on the show?
Ryan Lochte: Yeah, they’re the most important thing to me. I was raised in a big family [Ryan, 28, is the third of five kids], and most of them live just two hours away from me in Florida. Plus, one of my brothers lives with me. We do everything together—golfing, playing video games, taking the dogs to the park. He’s finishing up his last year of college, so I’m kinda like the dad in the house, keeping him in line, pushing him out of the house so he’s not late to work.Cosmo: Are you currently seeing anyone? Will we see you dating?
Ryan Lochte: I am a single guy right now, but you’ll see me going on dates. I need someone who is able to hold her own—if a girl is really independent, that’s a turn-on for me. And she doesn’t have to play a sport for me to be interested in her! But if a girl smokes, that’s a big turn-off.
Cosmo: Who do you talk to about your dating life?
Ryan Lochte: I know my family would never steer me wrong, so I go to them for advice. And if I go on more than a couple of dates with one girl, it could get to that point where she would meet the Lochtes.
Cosmo: A couple of dates?! That’s fast!
Ryan Lochte: I mean, I gotta feel comfortable with her in order for that to happen! But I want a best friend and a lover at the same time. And I want her to make me laugh. I like someone who doesn’t care what people think—who’s not afraid of making a fool out of herself.
The Underwear Expert points us to a fab Friday pre-summer swimsuit photoshoot featuring the chiseled and scruffy specimen that is Bobby Creighton.
Does this guy have ANY fat on his body? Wow.

Vicious is a brand new studio sitcom comedy coming soon to ITV starring respected luminaries of British stage and screen Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi and Frances de la Tour.
Sir Ian and Derek play a couple who have been together for almost 50 years.
The show is written by Gary Janetti, the Emmy nominated writer/producer behind hit shows Family Guy and Will & Grace.
From the Hollywood Reporter:
For both McKellen and Jacobi, who have been friends since university and are both openly gay, Vicious is groundbreaking in another way. The show marks the first time the two acclaimed actors — McKellen’s credits include the X-Men and The Hobbit while Jacobi appeared in such films as Gladiator (2000) and The King’s Speech (2010) — have acted together. Vicious is also, aside from Jacobi’s single, Emmy-winning, guest appearance on Frasier in 2001, the first time either of them has performed in a TV sitcom.
“Neither of them had ever done a multi-camera sitcom,” says Janetti “but its very theatrical. Doing a multi-camera sitcom in front of an audience is very much like live theater. And when you have such extraordinary theater actors and you are doing a comedy, my feeling is you have to put them in front of an audience”.
