Video: "Make It Out This Town"

The official video for "Make It Out This Town" by Eve feat. Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship.

Wanna know when it's your second, your minute, your time
Sick of dreamin', wanna lay the pictures in your mind
Never been like all the others, you're one of a kind
I know you're feelin' like you wanna break free, it's a sign
Just wanna fly above it all, see where you can land
Know that you can do it on your own 'cause you can
Know that you can conquer all with a plan
Forget about the negatives buried in the sand
Yeah, never forget this is your life
Your path, your dream, this is your fight
Victory, you'll see, you'll be alright
Get through the darkness, on the other end is pure light

p.s. I was one of those kids who lived through a lot of this. And I made it "out that town."

A few Broadway shows later; a happy 19 year marriage; and the respect of people I actually respect - folks who regarded me as a peer. I brought a megaphone up to my voice and found a whole lot more self-esteem once I realized I could like myself.

It happens. Trust and believe.

Forward.

Shirtless scene cut from Channing Tatum's "G.I. Joe: Retaliation"

While many of you may have seen "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" sending the film to a $100 million worldwide dollar box office take this weekend, you probably don't remember the scene above.

That's because the bar scene in which Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson and a shirtless D.J. Cotrona appear was cut from the final version of the film.

Buzzfeed explains:

Director Jon M. Chu told me that the bar scene with Tatum, Cotrona, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was cut and re-shot early last year — before the film's release date was pushed from June 2012 to this weekend — without Cotrona because it wasn't successfully conveying the warmth of the relationship between Tatum and Johnson's characters. "It was more plot-driven," Chu said. "It didn't set the tone right for movie. We wanted something a little more jokey." So out went Cotrona, and in went a scene of Tatum and Johnson bonding while playing a military videogame. With their shirts on.

Georgia: GOP Chairwoman - marriage equality is about a "free ride"

"You may be as straight as an arrow, and you may have a friend that is as straight as an arrow. Say you had a great job with the government where you had this wonderful health plan. I mean, what would prohibit you from saying that you’re gay, and y’all get married and still live as separate, but you get all the benefits? I just see so much abuse in this it’s unreal.

"I believe a husband and a wife should be a man and a woman, the benefits should be for a man and a woman. There is no way that this is about equality. To me, it’s all about a free ride." - Georgia GOP chairwoman Sue Everhart, speaking to the Marietta Journal. (Via Queerty)

Everhart goes on to say she COULD have a gay neighbor and be nice to them but "I’m against marriage because once you get the gay marriage you get everything else.”

THIS is how the GOP continues to embarrass itself. And this woman is the Georgia GOP Chairwoman.

SMH...

Back in the day, I'd have done this as a young actor. Gotta say though, this looks WAY hard.
