I put a spell on you

Its 10:00pm Pacific standard time and they are only 2 more hours left for 2013.

Hmmm? What remnants shall I blog about for this past year?

I guess for me, 2013 was year of the cyber stalker.  Thanks facebook for opening up everyones private life and letting complete strangers view their photos, videos, and personal status updates.

I just logged off facebook and got thru stalking this super cute guy who I see around the comedy scene in San Francisco.

I know I know, I can just feel all the warranted judgements for sharing that last thought.

I can't help it, I've always been nosey about people, ever since the 7th grade when I use to intently stare at yearbook photos for days, just wondering what made these people tick.

And do you know whats crazy about that, I caught myself doing the same thing in college.  Except that time, it was more intense and there was magic involved.  Sometime in 2000 I saw this guys photo in the Haskell yearbook, honed in on him, and when I finally got to see him in person, he could not take his eyes off me.

I'm pretty sure I unwittingly casted a spell on him.

If I didn't end up being a stand up comedian, I would have made an awesome VooDoo Seduction Priestess.

Anyhoo, getting back to my favorite facebook guy, hes cute.  I would love to drop his name but we all know I can't.

The one thing that I have learned in all my gay years is that you never and I mean, never tell a guy that you have the total hots for him because he will eat you up alive.  I guess thats what happens when you end up revealing yourself to the wrong person.

I would really hate to keep that kind of mojo over myself for 2014, so heres to taking more chances and going for it!  A friend once said to me, "you can't win the lottery if you don't take a chance" .

Charlie Ballard's Blog is too Gay !!!!

Tonight I cleared my browser viewing history and had to manually type in my url blog address, which is:

www.charlieballard.blogspot.com

and then guess what happened, my page got re-directed to some bible thumpers website, wtf?

This can mean only one thing, my blog must've caught the attention of some weird right wing Christian computer hacker whose been trying to redirect my traffic to his page.

I think thats awesome!

I should be pissed but I'm not.

I mean, I knew I hit it big time earlier this year when I received an award for being one of the Top 50 Gay Bloggers for 2013 so I guess this is just another consequence for a being visible queer voice.

So in honor of some religious dumb nut trying to over on my shit, I'm going to finish the rest of blog with a religious topic and how apripo for me to blog about the recent events in Utah!

I would like to say a Big Big Congratulations to all the LGBT's in the state of Utah, who were allowed to get married.

Utah is not Gay Marriage friendly, that shit had to be shoved down their throats, like everywhere else.

A couple years ago when the LGBT's of California were trying to defeat Prop.8, which was a state measure put on the ballot that didn't allow gays to marry in California, many many Mormons sent money to the anti-gay marriage organizations to aid their campaigns.

We all know how that turned out, those fuckers just wasted millions of dollars on a lost cause.

And because California set the land mark ruling in the U.S. Supreme Court, it cleared the way for any Gay couple to get married in their state, all they have to do is challenge their states law and thats exactly what happened in Utah.

A Gay couple didn't want to travel out of state to get married, so they sued the state of Utah and won!

And on a personal note, I hope all the LGBT's who were ex-communicated by the Mormon Church got some kind of satisfaction from Utah's gay marriage victory, I know I did.

Duck Dynasty & the Gays

"Duck Dynasty" , has been in the news lately for some the anit-gay remarks made by one its cast members.

For those of you not familiar with Duck Dynasty, its a reality show based on this family who made their fortune inventing the duck call whistle for duck hunters.

Lets just get into it, what self -respecting Gays even watches this show in the first place?

Why do we even care what these ZZ Top beard wearing hee-haws have to say about anything, just look at the photo below, do these guys even look like our supporters? (even though the last couple on the right side looks like they could be batting for our team)

This television show represents one demographic (white, country, & poor) and the last time I checked, those muthaf*ckas lost in the last election, which is really where it counts.

So they can keep boo hoo'ing all they want about the Gays, they already lost.




Britney Lip Syncs Las Vegas

The reviews are in from Britney's debut show at the Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino and that bitch lip synced.

What a rip off.

Has anyone checked the ticket prices for her shows at the Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino, I have and for that kind of money not only should Britney be singing live but she should also be showing some titty.

Seeing as I'm not one of Britney's die hard fans, I would never pay that kind of money to see her but if I were, I'd be really disappointed.

I mean c'mon, if I wanted to hang out with lip syncers, I go to a drag show.

p.s. Britney, your debut outfit was very 1990 Blond Ambition, with the matching blonde curls and all, don't let Madge find out.

My Year in Review for 2013

Its that time of year to reflect back on my 2013 discretions.

1) The beginning of 2013 didn't start out that great for me, health wise.  About this time last year, I began sweating profusely in my sleep, which as it turned out, was caused by bronchitis and a sinus infection.  It caused my breathing to be erratic which left me severely depressed.  Finally after a couple trips to Highland Hospital, an ER doctor properly diagnosed my illness, gave me the right drug prescription and the healing process began.  I say properly diagnosed because I also went to the free clinics where they tried to put me on anxiety and high blood pressure pills.  Currently, my hyper-tension is under control and I am not waking up from my sleep anymore with shortness of breath.

You guys really don't know the anguish I went thru, nothing of which I would ever wish to relive.  I'm just happy that part of my life is over.

2) From January to June, I was still on unemployment and enjoyed every moment of it.  When my unemployment checks stopped coming, I went back to work as a Tour Guide with Big Bus from July to October.  I really enjoyed working with the tourist but just felt at the time that job wasn't right for me.

3) From April to June I filmed my first movie called, "All the Others Were Practice" , which is due out in 2014.  The director, Brian Tolle, approached me to do this movie via email in 2012.  So when the ball got rolling, I was super ecstatic even to be involved in this project and the fact that I got to be the star, that just rocked my world even more thinking about it!  I also dabbled in another production as an extra for HBO's, "Looking" , but when your the star of your own project, being an extra can leave a sour taste in your mouth.


4) In February, I surprised my mom by flying out her sister Beverly from Virginia Beach to L.A. for a mini vacation.  That was a fun week.  I tried to get them on the, "Price is Right" , for the sibling special but I forgot to ask the both of them to bring their Social Security cards, which I think ruined their chances of getting on the show.  But just looking at this picture below will tell our trip went just fine!


5) In another trip to L.A., I got show tickets to see Kathy Griffin Live and ended up winning 100$ for participating in a celebrity game with Actress Jamie Pressly.  I also won Jamie's big blonde wig from, "My Name is Earl" , which I used for a comedy show in Sacramento.


6) I kept myself busy producing many Hella Gay Comedy Shows for 2013.  Our best theme show this past year was, "Gay for Pay Comedy Show" , which featured straight comedians performing gay comedy.  It turned out to be one of top 5 Hella Gay shows of all time.


7) Looking back on 2013, I sure went to L.A. a lot this past year, in March I went to Irvine, California., to watch my comedy idol Margaret Cho work out new material at the Irvine Improv for her current tour - Mother.

8) For all of this past year, I didn't have any sexual relations, at all.  Mostly because I didn't actively pursue it and most of all, because no muthafucking guy would ask me to suck his dick.

9) I finally got some foot fungus pills for my toe.  This was a long time coming.  You guys really don't know how long I've been battling toe nail fungus, ever since I began contracting fungus to my toes at Sherman Indian High School back in 1988, its been a real battle trying to get rid of it.  Its a good thing I finally took care of my feet because in November I caught this cute guy checking out my flip flops.  I wanted to snap at him for even looking but I was kind of proud that at least someone was looking, I was so ready.

10) With some money that I made from comedy, I decided to visit some old friends in Arizona.  It was a nice to see them and I also gambled heavily in Las Vegas on the penny slots machines every chance I got.  I gambled so hard that I ended blowing my entire wad and I don't regret it one bit.  Usually when I travel, I always invite my family or friends to tag along and for once it was nice to spend money on myself.  While in Vegas, I did see some great shows and got to run around!  I also get did my palm read on Fremont St., she said I was going to have to big career moves in 2014 around April and September of next year and also, that two romantic leads will be coming into my life, whoo hoo I can' t wait for that!  This picture below was taken at the Flamingo Hotel, when I saw those legs I could not resist.


And that was my year.  For 2014, I'm going back to work full time and want lose the extra weight I've been putting on.

Have a good one everyone!

When in Vegas

I just came back from Las Vegas where I was reminded of those subtle little gender roles we place on ourselves.

For example, when I was on Fremont St., I went inside this casino where all the card dealers were busty 20 something hot chicks showing cleavage.  As I passed them all I could think was, "I hope they're making more than minimum wage" , most likely not.

On my way out I looked behind the cashiers cage and they were all filled with these 50 something haggy Grandma's who couldn't take their eyes off the go go dancers, probably reliving their glory days watching those young pretties shake their tassles.
 
About an hour later, I found myself at the Rio Hotel & Casino to attend an all male strip show called Chippendales.

Now does this make me a hypocrite for chastising the display and objectivity of one gender and then relishing in another because it suits me, no, it makes me an equal opportunity chauvinist.

After the show I found myself playing penny slots and then something caught my eye, male cocktail servers.

How refreshing.

I pulled one of them aside and said, "its really nice to see guys running drinks" .

And then he said, "well before, we use to dance on the platforms but it made the customers feel uncomfortable so it stopped"  .

And all I could think was, "who would be uncomfortable with that" ?

Seeing as how I was in Sin City, its kind of hard to place a value judgement on anything because well, its Sin City, thats why people go there, to dissolve any social peer pressures and celebrate in debauchery.

Regardless, I still left broke.

I Am Thankful

I can feel the tar baby around me feeding off my negative energy.  Poet Joy Harjo said the best thing to do combat that energy is just to ignore it.

So rather than sit here and entertain those creepy thoughts, my back up plan is to reinforce my brain waves with positive vibes, such as the things I'm grateful for in life:

I Am Thankful
by Charlie Ballard

I am thankful that I can still love.

I am thankful for the hidden blessings in life because if we all got everything we wanted than how would we ever learn from our mistakes?

I am thankful for IHS *Indian Health Service* , accessible healthcare for Native Americans is da shit!

I am thankful for the sacrifice of our ancestors.
 
I am thankful for all the men who've ever said no to me because thats one less STD for me to worry about.

I am thankful for having the willingness, compassion, & desire to want more out of life and not ever be complacent.

I am thankful for Adele's music, that lady can write and sing.

I am thankful that I made it to age 40 without having a heart attack.

I am thankful that I've been able to see my classmates do well in life.

I am thankful that I was asked to be the lead in an independent movie.
