On Saturday, April 16th, Dani Arranka’s “Be Like Me” music video debuted on the big screen in the Real Art Ways‘ theatre. It was a fabulous event full of amazing performances by Dani Arranka and local talent, such as Celcius911. Dani’s birthday celebration was full of glamour and electricity. There was a buzz of glee and excitement floating in the air. One couldn’t help but feel proud of Dani’s accomplishments. With artistry and a style that’s all his own, Dani Arranka is truly one of Hartford’s rising stars. You can check out more photos and video clips from when I was at Dani Arranka’s release/birthday party HERE.

“Who’s Johnny?” She said and smiled in her special way. Well Johnny’s the “J” in the VJ of course. Actually the J stands for John, but my friends and family from home call me Johnny. When I was growing up I always got the “Heeeeeere’s Johnny!,” “Johnny be good,” “Johnny,.. angry Johnny,” the list goes on and on and on… I particularly got a chuckle when people would say “Johnny 5 is alive” from the 1986 hit movie, Short Circuit.

I stopped introducing myself as Johnny when I left my hometown of Danbury to go to university in New Haven, CT. I was in a bigger, new city meeting new people. I had to use my full name for filling out registation forms and when talking with professors. So I started introducing myself with my full first name when meeting fellow students. The reply was “What? Do you have a nick-name?” I hesitated and probably shook my head. The thing is that I never thought of Johnny as a nick-name. I just thought of it as my name and before I could say anything he said “Can I call you VJ for short?” I said sure, that’s cool. And then it stuck. Everyone started calling me VJ. I was in a new place with a new name, ready to be the new me and do new things. Young and innocent Johnny, made way for experimental/try anything VJ…

Fast forward ten or so years later and I’ve moved back to my hometown. Where old friends and family know me as Johnny. Now I have new friends that know me as the cute, gay, wise, sexy Johnny. The new Johnny is here and my birthday draws near. Come February 2nd, 2011 I will have reach the age of thirty-five. I find myself at a new reboot in my life. I’m working part time and have time to go back to school. I feel like I’m starting over again… in search of a new job in the even bigger, New York City.

“Some say he’s nuts. Some say he’s bolts. But can Number Five make it in the big, bad city? Keep your wires crossed.” ~ Short Circuit 2

The fumes from Johnny5′s shell has been setting off my carbon-monoxide detector. It’s a bit disturbing so I put Johnny5 in another place until I can send it off to be recycled. Luckily the data on the hard drive is fine. I plan on getting this docking station so I can still use it to store files.

Another death and birth in the VJnetcast family is that of the VJnetcast.com and VJnet.org domane names. 2010 has been a year of financial struggle and the re-newing of site registation was not in the budget. Unfortunately we have lost the ownership of vjnetcast.com. The boys from TheOccasionalFag.com were kind enough to e-mail me a screenshot of how vjnetcast.com now “helps you get hard!” Check it out below. lol

If things aren’t hard enough and you like ‘em easy, now you can visit me at the new VJnetcast.tk (because it cost money to have a .com) or use vjnet.wordpress.com if you like ‘em long.

From these endings on the last day of the year 2010. May your 2011 be filled with new beginnings, joy and prosperity. Have a Happy New Year! BustB!G Live Dream!

I first discovered Pummelvision.com via OnglinePodcast.com. I love snapping and share photos with my little camera. So I hope you enjoy this Pummelvision of me and my special friends.

What is Pummelvision? you ask. Well is an online video service brought to you by Jake Lodwick, the inventor and founder of Vimeo and College Humor. So basically Pummelvision can pull photos from Flickr, Facebook or Tumblr accounts and composite them into a nifty video that you can post on YouTube or Vimeo.

One reason I like fab.com is because I Love Keith Edwards. Check him out on the streets of New York during SantaCon. Asking what makes you fab?

Maybe if I’ve been really good this year Santa will wrap-up the adorable Keith Edwards and deliver him to the foot of my tree for Christmas. Anyway, fab is a fun gay social network for gay men and their friends. Let’s share the gift of being fab friends! Add me on fab.com :D

fab was created by gay guys who wanted a better way to share and discover great places to go, things to do, and people to meet. We wanted to create a network for gay men that wasn’t just about hookups… read more

You can tell by the snowfall that it’s that magical mashup time of the year when people spread joy and cheer. Personally, I can’t wait for this year’s “Santastic” presented by dj BC. It’s my favorite annual free mp3 holiday album series. Well it’s the only cool one that I know about.

“patience, patience- good things come to those who wait! And Santa wants you to be surprised. :)”

“What’s the worst thing that could happen to you
Take a chance tonight and try something new
You’re getting boring you’re oh so boring
And I don’t recognize the zombie you’ve turned into

Don’t worry cause tonight I got you
You can take a seat do what you normally do
I’m about to let you see…”

Personally, I like the guy at 00:41 seconds. He seems fun, he can groove and I like his glasses, too.

Which perfect stranger in this vid would you want to feel the danger with?

Hay gente para todo. Los dueños de este perro han decidido teñirle y cortarle el pelo a lo oso panda. No contentos con eso, han decidido exhibir al can en una exposición de mascotas que se celebra en Shangai. ~ Sefarad

According to my Mac’s translator (Spanish to English) widget:

There is people for everything. The owners of this dog have decided to dye and to cut the hair to him to the bulging panda bear. Noncontentments with that, have decided to exhibit to the dog in a exhibition of mascots that is celebrated in Shanghai.

Chakra Cabaret, originally uploaded by FlickrSi.

“A Celebration of Spirituality, Queerness, and Revolutionary Consciousness

“Hosted by musical metaphysicist Dingles and the eminent Tranimals Alaska Thunderfuck and Bizzy, with guest performers PeeWee Nyob, Davi Cohen, Liam Barnes, and Rommie Ampil, Chakra Cabaret pays homage and contributes to the radical queer arts community, continuing expressions of honesty and vulnerability that are often laid under labels of “Art,” “sexual freedom,” and other ideological, aesthetic, and social stances that mask and add layers of disconnection and posturing between our clans and tribes.”

DETAILED DESCRIPTION:

Queer expression is evolving. In the 21st century, it seems to become more important that we consider how we identify and what our attachments are in ourselves and to others, familiar and stranger alike. Queer spirituality—a self-collected and individual collections and experiences of myths, symbols, and adoptions of the world’s many spiritual-metaphysical-philosophical traditions for creative expression over many millennia and many cultural paths—is another equally important theme. Individual and communal experiences that bond sisters and brothers in this time of paradigm shifts of many dimensions and worldly uncertainties, we believe, are vitally important.

This performance, hosted by musical metaphysicist Dingles and to the eminent Tranimals Alaska Thunderfuck and Bizzy, pays homage and contributes to the radical queer arts community, continuing expressions of honesty and vulnerability that are often laid under labels of “Art,” “sexual freedom,” and other ideological, aesthetic, and social stances that mask and add layers of disconnection and posturing between our clans and tribes. While “Performativity,” “Camp,” and other importantly queer manners of social interaction should be prized as traditions that have made powerful contributions to queers and others beyond our community, it is important that we regularly allow ourselves to become vulnerable, laugh lovingly at our foibles and fuck-ups, and cultivate bonds that last in times of hardship, and offer the needed support that will allow us to flourish through many difficult changes in how we will best related to one another.

The seven chakras act as our overarching metaphor, for it covers major dimensions and rites of human and supra-human experience. These explorations are at times overtly self-critical, while the greater experience of the evening is even more overtly affirmative. With each “Color,” we utilize multiple modes of interaction between performers and audience members where all are challenged to consider how metaphors and aspects of each chakra play various roles in lives and encourage us to take hold of benevolent spiritualities as powerful tools of change.

Some of the important issues confronted in the various charkas are:

RED: Community, support, ideas of “family,” communal materialism

ORANGE: Sensual pleasure, emotions, interpersonal relationships, revenge

YELLOW: Individual confidence, power, materialism, image and body

GREEN: Vulnerability. unconditional Love, altruism, lessoning suffering

BLUE: Voice, Integrity, Personal Truths, Self-Expression, Language

VIOLET: Intellect, rationality, intuition; Mind as Control Center or Receiver?

WHITE: Embracing spirituality, integration, wisdom, Eternity, Bliss”
