Oh...My...

Here's where I list my top five male celebrities. Not so much based on their talent as it is on their *cough* ahem...yeah.

5 - Eric Dane, a.k.a. McSteamy. Ohhh when he comes out of the shower in that Greys Anatomy episode...wowser.



4 - Justin Timberlake. I know! I can't believe I put him on here either. But I did say it's not about their talent hehe. Have you seen him topless? Good god.

3 - Steve Sandvoss. He starred in the gay romance, Latter Days. But it was just acting and he is in fact straight. *sighs*



2 - Orlando Bloom. Need I say more? Of course not, but I'm going to! As if he wasn't hot enough as Legolas in lord of the rings, he had to go and get sexier as Will Turner in Pirates of the Carribean. Sure Johnny Depp gave him a run for his money but for overall sex appeal it's got to be Orlando.

1 - Jesse Metcalfe. The hunky gardener from Desperate Housewives, as featured to the left, takes out the top spot. It's just a shame his flatmate didn't hook into him instead of Mrs Vandercamps son.


I think I could easily make this a top ten but I'll restrain myself :-)

Until next time!

Time To Get Buff

I'm upping the exercise and dropping the food intake cause it's time to get sexy :-)

As I've mentioned, Pink is coming to New Zealand! Yay for that. And then in May tickets go on sale to see Christina Aguilera. God I'm gay to be getting excited about that, but I don't care, cause I can't wait. I'm swapping out Ameries 'Take Control' video for Candyman by Xtina in case you don't know what her latest song is like.

So why am I talking about Pink and Christina but using a Gwen Stefani pic? Well, I dunno, but she's hot and she rocks so I'm going with it. Plus she's fit, which works with the theme.

Well I'm off to pay a visit to the crosstrainer. Adios!

Do You Have To Have Faith?

I doubt George Michael was meaning faith in the religious sense but hey, I like a good pun. I come from a pretty religious family, not so much my immediate family but cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. Almost every one of them is heavily into the Christian faith. Which is hard for me, being gay and agnostic.

The important thing to me though is that my mother and sister are cool with it, and they are. They couldn't be better really. Everyone else just has to draw their own conclusions, and if they decide that me being gay is too much of an obstacle then I need to remember that that's their issue and not mine.

In the past it's really got to me when I get a bad reaction to my sexuality. That probably sounds silly to most people, but to me being gay is a huge part of me, not just in the sense that I have relationships with men but for me it defines the kind of person I am and what I enjoy doing. Beer and Rugby (the two manliest things a kiwi bloke can enjoy) are the furthest things from my mind when I'm thinking of a fun thing to do. I'd rather drink a classy cocktail and dance to R&B/Pop/Dance. Shopping is my idea of a good time. I watch Desperate Housewives and I bloody well like it! But I have a hard time being open about these things with people who aren't like minded. So that's my mission at the moment. Try and build my confidence so that I can just be myself, no matter who I'm with or what I'm doing. You won't ever hear me say 'I'm here and I'm queer, get used to it', but that is the sort of attitude that I think I need to adopt.

Umm, that's about all I've got to say. I'm liking this blog thing. Just to be able to put your thoughts out there is really liberating.

Learn to Crawl

Heya.

Just a quick post to point out that I added the video for Crawl by kiwi band Atlas. These guys are great and need to be spread right across the internet so the whole world can see for themselves that New Zealand music rocks.

EDIT: I swapped out the music video so here's the link :) Crawl - Atlas

Civil Unions

Well it's nice to know that some day if I meet the man of my dreams I can legally 'join' with him, but if that ever happens I think I would refer to it as a marriage, a wedding and a husband. Civil Union is pretty damn unromantic.

My sister got married late last year. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol was the song that played while she walked down the aisle and it really was great. It got me thinking about what song I would want playing when it's my turn. Then I heard Life is Beautiful by Vega 4. It has a similar style to Chasing Cars and I think, future partner willing, that would be my choice. So now you need to post a comment and tell me what your march down the aisle would be accompanied by :-)

My F*ck It Bucket

Well if you followed my link to Something Sophisticated you might know what a F*ck It Bucket is and I think it's a cool idea. So here's mine:

1 - Alanis Morissettes Jagged Little Pill, either original or 10th Anniversary Accoustic, I'm easy :)
2 - Fejioa infused Vodka with Old Fashioned Applejuice (none of this 'crisp' crap)
3 - Maggi Garlic Prawns
4 - A full season of Will & Grace

I'm getting warm fuzzies just thinking about it.

Explaining the Name

All of your demons will wither away
Ecstasy comes and they cannot stay
You'll understand when you come my way
Coz all of my demons have withered away

The song is Demons by Fatboy Slim, featuring Macy Gray. A song like this might make you think I'm religious, and if that's the case then you couldn't be more wrong. I have a bit of a fascination with good and evil but I'm completely agnostic. I just love the lyrics because it's basically saying push through the hard times because there's good times ahead, and sometimes that's something you need to hear.

So no, my blog name is nothing dodgy, and is definitely not a drug reference (hehe). But I like it so I'm sticking with it. By the way, my name is Andrew to some, Andy to most, and for some reason Pants/Andypants seems to catch on with a few people. Go figure.

I'm 24 and live in an eastern suburb of Auckland, in the North Island of New Zealand. I'm what we call here a Pakeha, which basically means I'm a white guy, with Irish/English heritage, but born and raised here, as were my parents and grandparents.

I'm starting this blog because my good friend James from California has started one called Something Sophisticated (a very stylie name, and by the way James, sorry for using the same layout as you but it really is the best one :P ) *insert link here*

...and I thought it would be a good way for me to express my thoughts, even if no one else reads it. This being an introduction, I should probably keep it short. So I think it's time to wave buh bye and say see you next time. But before I do I should just raise my hand and point out one minor detail. I'm gay. Lots easier to type than to say, but I am 'out' to most people in my life so it's getting easier and easier as time goes by. I just wanted to mention it because it's relevant to me, so it might be relevant to whether or not you want to keep reading.

Anyways, thanks for stopping by :)
