Picture It - a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Reno, Nevada. I am of course celebrating the glorious day by hiding in the confines of my abode. However I decided that I wanted to workout. So I don my workout apparel which includes a pink athletic shirt with matching headband and Ipod headphones and do some cardio on my Gazelle. To keep my mind distracted from the reality of working out, I decide to turn on the TV to find some mindless entertainment. I find that BET is is showing "What's Love Got to Do With It", the story of the one Miss Tina Turner. I gay gasp as the fabulous Angela Bassett beautifully lipsyncs to Miss Turner's "Proud Mary". I really knew that I hit a new level of queeniness when I began crying, as I was working out mind you, as Ike Turner - played by the talented Laurence Fishburne - startsto physically abuse Tina. The level of queeniess was solidified, when during the movie Tina begins to fight back and I start screaming at the screen "Go Tina!! KICK IKE'S ASS! BEAT HIS ASS GIRL!!!"
I was just thankful that no roommates were around to bear witness ...
