I’m gonna keep this short.  I’m back! ^_^  (I needed that 2 month sabbatical and I believe that I’m ready to get back into this blogging thing with WordPress…)

Tumblr was the main reason I stopped this blog for a bit.  It was a bit more personal/intimate and I was able to talk about other things besides bears.  It also gave me a break from the drama and headache I tend to get because of the very nature of this blog.  But I think I’m ready again for such — ahem — crap, so let me have ‘em.

I dare you to read this 3 times really fast: “aoxomoxoaoxomoxoa”

Anyway, to start this off, let me just give you guys and gals a sampling of why I focused more on Tumblr the past few days: here are the creme de la creme of the smoking hot bears of Tumblr.  As it’s “Shirtless Saturday,” then that’s the type of photos you’ll find here. 

If there’s anybody I’m thoroughly obsessed with on Tumblr, then it is the ever-woofy and ever-adorable jambos.  It’s basically criminal to be this unbelievably hot and be just 23 years old!  I started BearMythology on 2000 and jambos was just 13 at the time!  It just boggles my mind thinking about that.  Other than that, he has a great sense of humor and he puts up with my lame attempts at online flirting.  He has a wonderful heart and his eyes will truly mesmerize you.  I seriously challenge you to not get instantly smitten at the sight of this handsome bear…

Christmasonthemoon (Moony, for  short) is someone I haven’t really met offline or on.  He’s this young kid who has completely accepted his sexuality and does not dwell on it at all.  I have a lot to learn from this young lad, and he’s not aware of how I really see him as my hero.  He also wants to pursue writing which made me “love” him further.   Thanks to him, I’m about to start on another venture which involves writing fiction (so that should be fun).  As much as I think that he’s a hot young bear, I’m putting him here as an inspiration to the other young readers out there.  I consider myself a good mentor when it comes to academia, but in regards to coming out to your family and peers, I’m not the right person to talk to about it (as I’m still pretty much in the closet).  Consider Moony as a person who truly understands who he is and he simply doesn’t care about what others think of him.  I think that’s the best advice anybody can ever give anybody — gay or straight.

Well, he’s pretty young, so a blurry nipple shot would do. 

Well, I guess a faceless belly shot would do as well… 

Queervoice, or Zach, is also the founder and owner of one of the coolest site  for us LGBTQ folk: QueerVoice.net.  He is very opinionated and I love him for it.  There were maybe 2 or 3 occasions where I really wanted to give him a good rimming (heh) and then I wonder “why only 2 or 3?”  He is also drop dead sexy with his milky smooth skin and a handsome face that can convince me to do very bad things.

Sofakingbear has got to be the hottest bear on the planet.  His eyebrows truly stand out and I haven’t seen any bearish fella that would even resemble his facial features.  He has this very “unique” look and I simply adore it.  Remember now, I’m just talking about his face.  Speaking of his body, I will actually blurt out, “DAAAAYUUM!”  Because, honestly, take a look at these photos and tell me if I’m wrong.  I triple challenge dare you.

MrBenzadrine, or Benzy, is an enigma as he’s possibly shy in real life but a freaky exhibitionist on Tumblr.  I guess if I wasn’t such your typical self-loathing queer then I’d probably be as courageous as Benzy.  However, if I was as remotely hot as Benzy, then I’d probably have no issue getting stripped down to my birthday suit and even finding the time to teach others to properly wear a cock ring (is it shameful to admit that I don’t have one?)…  KGHBear is his partner and they will get married this year and I am personally elated at such news.  Oh and did I forget to mention that kghbear is another fine slab of sexy bear?  Believe me, I won’t forget.  And here are both the sexy Benzy and KGHBear…

This hot bear with the cross-eye-inducing nickname is James William Hindle.  Before I talk about him, check out this music video of his:

I’m always starry-eyed every time I see him post.  Chubarama was the one who introduced me to him many moons ago (in internet time) from his blog.  And when I asked him to take a photo of himself with his Gizmo doll and actually did it, well, it was like “heavenly” — for truly a lack of a better description.  He’s a talented musician and producer and I wish him the best.  He also likes to take photos when he’s in the bath and that is always a great thing.  Last but not least, he is one gorgeous woofy bear…

ABearJunkie, aka Will, is pretty much my identical brother.  Except I’m Asian, so I refer to him as my Seoul Brother.  His tastes in bears and entertainment are eerily similar to mines.  Unfortunately, unlike me, he can grow a wicked beard and has a fantastically sexy body.  (This is brand new news to me, Will!)  He is also packing some serious heat, if you know what I mean.  Let’s just say that it’s longer than the Wii controller.

Finally, but not least, we have Husbears.  I don’t think I have seen anyone who was literally borne to have such a sexy moustache.  He also loves to make goofy faces and he’s even more adorable because of it.  He is sexy and cute and utterly huggable.

This is just a sampling of the bears I have had the pleasure of hanging around with on Tumblr.  There is a heck of a lot more, but these are the ones I have been comfortable talking and flirting with on the Tumblr Dashboard.  “Being hot” is definitely just an additional bonus because they’re all just really cool folks to talk to.  Even with our common interest with bearish men, each and every one of them are so undeniably unique.  And I just want to take this time to thank them for being so.

Apparently, this photo was taken by a good friend of mine from many years ago: Devin.   He was the very first “chaser” who was exactly like me: we were “ursophiles/arctophiles” (i.e., “twinks”) who the big bears did not like or get attracted to.  We were pretty tight and talked about what we wanted to do with our “bear” lives.  Back then, our “bear sources” were limited by our dial-up connections (I used AOL and Earthlink) and access to the email-digest Bears Mailing List (which was not very twink-friendly as I remembered).  Devin also started “Bear Of The Day” (BofTD) (which was like Tumblr only it refreshes 1 image a day); this was also my source of inspiration that made me start “BearMythology”…

Needless to say, if you look through Devin’s The Men Of Chumley’s Bear Cruise 2009 Flickr photos, you’ll find out that he’s enjoying his life with the bears (and he’s even partnered with a very woofy bear!).  So I just want to personally say “Thank You” to him on this day.  And also a big “Thank You” to all of you who support this blog.  I could never keep on going with it without you guys…

Chubarama posted this video and I just have to copy it here: it’s the most awesome Jon Stewart’s “Gaywatch” segment in The Daily Show, and one of them is about my hero, Will Phillips.  You just have to watch it.  (And a big LOL at Jon’s comment at the “What is a ‘gaywad’?” question.)

It is news such as this that makes me glad that I belong to the human race.  It’s crazy to think that a 10-year-old boy would make a stand for something that doesn’t even involve him. Because of it, he’s ridiculed in his school and called a “gaywad.”  When awkwardly asked with a “cute & funny” question, “What’s a ‘gaywad’?” Will replied:

I really don’t know.  It’s a discriminatory name for homosexuals.

I love this kid!  Ask a stupid question, you get a smart, perfunctory response from a.  10.  year.  old.

It’s interesting how the boy is more mature about the whole situation while his dad and the newscaster found the situation a bit humorous.  This is not an attack on either of them, but this is just my observation based on how they interviewed and talked to the boy.  The dad for instance started laughing when his son described how his classmates assumed that he was gay.  Granted, the father is already involved in a very sticky situation and he’s an amazing father for supporting his son’s First Amendment rights.  Still, point is, what if his son was gay?  (But my have-a-chill-pill nitpickiness was thrown out the window when the dad lovingly elbowed Will at the end of the interview.  It was such an “Awwww” moment.)

Nevertheless, Will Phillips is my hero.  He’s only lived in this world for 1 decade, and he fully understands the concept of “Equal Rights.”

And, since this blog is about bear eye candy, Jay Phillips is definitely a very handsome bear.  His reactions are utterly cute and adorable.  You can see his right thumb quivering in the video while my hero kept picking on the threads of his jeans.  I now want that t-shirt…

I have never heard of Russian actor, Mikhail Porechenkov, before, then I saw this trailer for the scene-by-scene remake of Commando, titled Den ‘D.

Check out this side-by-side comparison with the original trailer for Commando.

Yes, the sculpted muscular body caught my eye, but it’s his rugged good looks that made me even more interested.  He completely reminds me of a stacked and built version of Ray Winstone (he would have made a perfect Beowulf).

A body like Arnold, with a Winstone face…

Here’s Mr. Porechenkov in all of his muscular shirtless glory…

Finally, here are more images and screenshots of Mikhail Porechenkov, but this time he did not shave off his fantastic furry chest.  Why must huscular men like Porechenkov shave away those furry gifts from the gods?

Had to censor the female's nipples. But if you MUST see them (and for the love of God, I'm not sure why), go ahead and click on the photo for the NSFW version. ಠ_ಠ

I truly love the following photo set.  Does anyone know where they’re from?  Also, for any Russian-speaking folks out there, may we please have further info on Mr. Mikhail Porechenkov?!  Pretty please?

These were my Google search keywords when I found the above photos.  I always quote my sources; but due to doing way too much work with the translation, I’ll use Google Search as my reference.

Let’s end with the film’s DVD Making-Of Featurette (I’m guessing it is from the DVD)…

I’ve been spending most of my time at Tumblr simply because I am still working on my main computer (upgrading, fixing, and all that) and it’s easier for me to post via my phone.  Anyway, make sure to check out my two Tumblr pages:

BearMythology

BearMythology Fetishes (Totally NSFW!)

Just recently posted about the woofy Rob Crow in my main Tumblr blog and a very different look at Orcs and Dwarves in World Of Warcraft in my scandalous Fetishes blog…

Received this music video submission about a musician named Dan Rodriguez.  The moment I heard the song, I instantly loved it.  Also, Dan Rodriguez is pretty nice eye candy as well.  With that hairstyle, he resembles American Idol’s Adam Lambert only way woofier.

This photo is the huskier image I could find of him…  I know, I know, I’m pretty shallow… 

As of today, MMA fighter Brett Rogers has an undefeated 10-0 record.  His biggest fight is also tonight against Fedor Emelianenko who is 30-1.  As much as I would like for Rogers to win this one, Emelianenko is a very experienced fighter.  Rogers is also extremely cocky about this fight that he’s made comments like “You know what I can’t honestly say I’ve seen one of Fedor’s fights”…  Now whether it’s all in the name of theatrics, but this is looking like the equivalent of a Rocky Balboa versus Clubber Lang boxing match.  And Rocky won.

But, hey, I’m no MMA analyst.  The only important thing is that Brett Rogers is one thick brutish monster and here he is on Shirtless Saturday.  Their fight will be televised tonight by CBS Television.

Pretty epic promo video for the upcoming fight from a Fedor fan

But wait one second and hold the presses…  Check out this Behind-The-Scenes photo shoot of Fedor and Brett from M-1 Global.  Mr. Emelianenko is pretty beefy.  He just needs a few more pounds and he’ll be perfect.  (Okay, okay, so sue me!)  Anyway this is a treat for you furry chest fans…

Jose Molina and CC Sabathia

Yes, it’s unfair.  The Yankees is basically similar to an unfairly stacked virtual sports team in a videogame with added cheat codes.  But, hey, didn’t Seven Of Nine once said: “Cheating is often more efficient.” 

Either way, last night made me a little happy as I am an unapologetic Yankees fan.  It made me forget about what happened in Maine.  Imagine the world as the Yankees Stadium.  Everyone except for 100 people in that stadium is a Phillies fan.  As an owner of that stadium, will you allow the Yankees fans have a say by asking them to make this vote: “Can only Yankees fan be in the stadium?”  Having a majority vote on the rights of a minority is just morally and ethically wrong.  Unfortunately, someone forgot to send that TPS Report to Mr. U.S. Constitution.

Anyway, with that out of my system, here are just a  handful of my favorite bearish Yankees…

C.C. Sabathia

Joba Chamberlain

That passion and the intensity that is Joba...

Jose Molina and Derek Jeter

Stephen King can’t even top this type of horror.
