Raskhol Khan, Muslim Rap Singer from New York

According to Khan Raskhol he is a Muslim rapper, not sing a rap song about Muslims.
Music and religion often go hand in hand. Various traditions of many religions incorporate songs and prayers to attract followers of all ages and beliefs. Type this kind of participatory crowd helped create a spiritual experience.

Often, American popular music contrary to the beliefs of religious believers. But for an American rapper, combine both worlds into a tool to bridge the beliefs, cultures and erase stereotypes.

"I tried to channel the cultures that I had inherited," said Cyrus McGoldrick who has a stage name Raskol Khan.

Students at Columbia University, Raskol Khan was a devout Muslim who prayed five times a day.


"I always say that I do not sing about Muslim rap, but I was a Muslim rapper, because I am very proud to be Muslim in America. City of New York is the center berpadunya various cultures. So that way, we can have plenty of room for us - plenty of room for Muslims - to live and interact, "said Raskol.

"I tried to show through my music that we're all human. We all want much the same thing.

For a Muslim - for everyone with different beliefs - it is important to show that the decisions we are clearly referring to what is right and wrong.

The concepts and principles that, if combined in the music, along with people; it is to unite rather than divide. People can see someone who is known as a Muslim; a proud American citizen, "said Raskol again.
Beyond the busy singing or learning to study the Middle East, Asia and Africa, this singer from Rhode Island use their spare time to share to society by way of teaching reading and writing in a program called Community Impact.

According Raskol, "Expertises will help many people in the future. All the expertise that I can use to be forwarded to them ... it is equally beneficial.

If I can make khidupan means to help others and engage in society, it is perfect for me. "

Sounds Muslims that one has learned a lesson that the universal nature of being tolerant of our fellow human beings. (Source VOA News)

God Hates Lady Gaga

At least according to the Westboro Baptist Church. In case you haven't heard of these wackjobs, they're a small church from Kansas led by Fred Phelps, who not only believe that God hates gays (nothing new there) but also that U.S. soliders are being killed in Iraq because of American's acceptance of homosexuality. They regularly protest the funerals of soliders with signs saying God hate fags and God hates America.

Anyways, now the Phelps clan is bringing their special brand of fanaticism to Lady Gaga.

The Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church, led by the Rev. Fred Phelps, announced on Wednesday that they would picket Lady Gaga's Jan. 7 St. Louis show on account of her "seducing a generation," reports PopEater."Even as she gives lip service to 'liberating' her young fans, Lady Gaga brings them into slavery to their own corruption, teaching them to glory in their shame. She hates you," said the Rev. Fred Phelps in a written statement.

I highly doubt that anyone with half a brain in their head will listen to anything these fools have to say, and the show will probably sell-out because of the protests.

P.S. I'm pretty sure God doesn't hate Gaga and grooves to "Just Dance" like the rest of us:)

Religious Leaders Speak Out Against Anti-Gay Uganda Law

Several Anglican church leaders have spoken out against the extreme anti-gay legislation in Uganda, which would sentence gays to death or life imprisonment for committing "aggravated homosexuality.

Archbishop of York John Sentamu - who along with the archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, is one of the global fellowship's most senior priests - condemned the anti-gay law now being considered by the East African nation's parliament.

"I'm opposed to the death sentence. I'm also not happy when you describe people in the kind of language you find in this ... bill," he told BBC radio.

Although Sentamu seemed to suggest he was the first to attack the proposed law, Williams has also spoken out against it, telling The Daily Telegraph earlier this month that it was "shocking in its severity."

"Apart from invoking the death penalty, it makes pastoral care impossible - it seeks to turn pastors into informers," he told the paper in an interview published Dec. 12.

Homosexuality has been an explosive and divisive topic for the church, leading to splits in the United States Episcopal Church over the issue. African churches have been leading the charge in a backlash against blessings of gay unions and the ordination of gay clergy, such as the 2003 ordination of Gene Robinson, the first openly gay bishop.

Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni will not try to block the bill, his spokesman Tamale Mirundi said Thursday, although he did say the president would attempt to convince his National Resistance Movement Party, which has a majority in parliament, to not support it.

"President Museveni cannot block the anti-gays bill," Mirundi said, saying that if he did so "he will have become a dictator."

Mirundi added that Museveni does not support homosexuality but thinks the bill goes too far.

"He believes that we should not have an extreme position," he said. "We have to consider the position of our foreign partners. For them they don't mind about homosexuality in their countries but here many people don't accept it."

Hunting for Gold in Ballarat

After enjoying the charm of Twelve Apostles, we were invited to hunt for gold in Ballarat, a small town about 75 minutes drive inland from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

When he arrived at Sovereign Hill, Ballarat, as if we returned to the atmosphere of 19th century life. To liven the tempo first, not only with buildings, Ballarat residents voluntarily participate with the fashion show of the past. Complete with all supporting accessories.

Sovereign Hill which opened since 1970 is a living museum to depict the life of the community during the gold rush in 1851. The museum is built on an area of 25 hectares of former gold mine that long.

Each visitor is given a map provided at the entrance. Since the number of Indonesian citizens who visit here, the manager also provides a map in the Indonesian language.

The atmosphere of 19th century directly felt when we entered the museum's life. The main street is still made of dirt. On the right and left of the road there are many shops, banks, post offices, schools, and other buildings in the style of 19th century architecture.

We walked toward the creek, Red Hill. Here we are invited to washing gold with improvised equipment. At that time there were about ten people who try his fortune in gold.

Then, a guide demonstrating how to pan gold. First he used a shovel to take the material from the riverbed. Material was put into a rather wide plate made of iron. He then shook the plate and ... "See this is the seed of gold," he said, showing a bright spot yellowish to us.

Then, he gave me a plate and fill it with material taken from the riverbed. I then tried as he did. Until all the material on my plate that bounced out, I did not find any gold ore. In fact, some tourists next to me had a lot of yelling for finding ore on his plate. Yes ... for this one I am not an expert.

After the gold content, we headed to Red Hill mine. Here we were invited to see how the gold in the bowels of the earth. I could feel how hard the life of the miners at that time.

Same Sex Marriage Legalized in Mexico City

I may have to run for the border(5 points for whoever can name that reference:). Mexico City has legalized both gay marriage and adoption for gay couples, making it the first city in Latin America to do so.

By E. EDUARDO CASTILLO (AP) – 1 day ago
MEXICO CITY — Mexico City lawmakers on Monday made the city the first in Latin America to legalize same-sex marriage, a change that will give homosexual couples more rights, including allowing them to adopt children.

The bill passed the capital's local assembly 39-20 to the cheers of supporters who yelled: "Yes, we could! Yes, we could!"

Leftist Mayor Marcelo Ebrard of the Democratic Revolution Party was widely expected to sign the measure into law.

Mexico City's left-led assembly has made several decisions unpopular elsewhere in this deeply Roman Catholic country, including legalizing abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. That decision sparked a backlash, with the majority of Mexico's other 32 states enacting legislation declaring life begins at conception.

The conservative Nation Action Party of President Felipe Calderon has vowed to challenge the gay marriage law in the courts. However, homosexuality is increasingly accepted in Mexico, with gay couples openly holding hands in parts of the capital and the annual gay pride parade drawing tens of thousands.

The bill calls for changing the definition of marriage in the city's civil code. Marriage is currently defined as the union of a man and a woman. The new definition will be "the free uniting of two people."

The change would allow same-sex couples to adopt children, apply for bank loans together, inherit wealth and be included in the insurance policies of their spouse, rights they were denied under civil unions allowed in the city.

"We are so happy," said Temistocles Villanueva, a 23-year-old film student who celebrated by passionately kissing his boyfriend outside the city's assembly.

Only seven countries allow gay marriages: Canada, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium. U.S. states that permit same-sex marriage are Iowa, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut and New Hampshire.

Argentina's capital became the first Latin American city to legalize same-sex civil unions in 2002 for gay and lesbian couples. Four other Argentine cities later did the same, and as did Mexico City in 2007 and some Mexican and Brazilian states. Uruguay alone has legalized civil unions nationwide.

Buenos Aires lawmakers introduced a bill for legalizing gay marriage in the national Congress in October but it has stalled without a vote, and officials in the South American city have blocked same-sex wedding because of conflicting judicial rulings.

Many people in Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America remain opposed to gay marriage, and the dominant Roman Catholic Church has announced its opposition.

"They have given Mexicans the most bitter Christmas," said Armando Martinez, the president of the College of Catholic Attorneys. "They are permitting adoption (by gay couples) and in one stroke of the pen have erased the term 'mother' and 'father.'"

City lawmaker Victor Romo, a member of the mayor's leftist party, called it a historic day.
"For centuries unjust laws banned marriage between blacks and whites or Indians and Europeans," he said. "Today all barriers have disappeared."

Graduation: Reflecting On The Past, Looking To The Future

You knew I couldn't go through graduation and not post something introspective lol:).

The diplomas have been passed out, the caps and gowns have been taken off, and I'm officially a college graduate with a bachelor of arts degree. It's surreal to be typing this fact. As I woke up this morning, I started reminiscing over the past four years, thinking back to crazy nights out at the club with my friends, meeting all types of new and interesting folks, tough classes, staying up until the wee hours of the morning finishing assignments, writing news articles, karoke nights, first-time love (and sex:).

I can say without a doubt that college has been one of the best experiences of my life. I know that I will look back on this time in my life with nothing but fondness and happiness, which I couldn't say about my high school experience. I never thought that I would love college, but then again I never thought that a lot of things would happen. I never thought I would have the courage to come out to my friends and most of my family, to quit smoking, to be in a relationship, to embrace myself as I am. I entered college as a lonely, closeted, depressed individual afraid to be himself, and am coming out (pun intended) as an someone who is happier, calmer, healthier and more comfortable in my own skin. As cheesy as it sounds, I feel like I'm finally discovering and finding myself.

I know the job market is on life support right now (especially for journalists) so I'm aware this will not be an easy task. But I'm hopeful, ambitious( I'm not planning on being career cashier) and believe that eventually I'll get my foot in the door. Simply put, the 18-year old Kevin was all about surviving moment to moment, avoiding emotion at all costs. The 23-year old Kevin knows that to feel emotion, whether good or bad, is be alive and has the desire to not just survive, but thrive.

Now if I could just find a damn job!

Johnny Deep is one of Hollywood actors quite productive. Even the film starring much-loved audience as one of the film The Pirates of the Caribbean.

The "Real World" Awaits....

Four years of hard work have led up to this moment. Graduation is this Friday, and as usual, I'm full of mixed emotions. Happy to finally be done with my degree program? Hell yeah. Sad because college has been great experience, especially when compared to all the inner turmoil and drama of my high school days. Scared that I'll never find a job in my field? Hell to the yeah lol:). But, whatever comes, I feel prepared and ready to face it.

Statue of Little Obama standing in Jakarta

In the statue, Obama was wearing shorts and a T-shirt that reflects her as a child. The statue was to use images when Barack Obama used while living in Indonesia.

Symbols of hope

The idea of building a statue which cost around U.S. $ 10,000 came from groups in Indonesia, which calls itself Friends of Obama.

"He was just four years as a child, but we know that four years may be formed him," Dalton said Tanaka, a member of Friends of Obama.

"None of the President of the United States living abroad during that time. The period had shaped him," he said.

The statue shows Obama holding a butterfly on her left hand as a symbol of hope and inspiration for the children of Indonesia.

Phuket, the Amazing and eExciting

Do not have a plan to spend the turn of the year? Field trip to Phuket, Thailand. In addition to beautiful beaches, this island also has an amazing natural wonders, too breathtaking.

Obviously Phuket has the best beaches in the world. Call it Patong, Karon, Kata, or Kamala. Various travel magazine, including a survey by Lonely Planet, called the Phuket as the world's favorite tourist sites. With the warm weather throughout the year, Phuket offers all beach activities, from swimming, sunbathing, sleeping on the couch while waiting for sunset, to try Jetski and parasailing.

The majority of travelers who roam around the beach is white tourists. Most come from Sweden, England, Scandinavian countries, also Australia. Tourists from Asia usually come from Japan and Malaysia. Not many Indonesian people I met here. According to some tour guide from a travel agent Indonesia, when a visit to Thailand, Indonesia tourists prefer to Bangkok which is a shopping paradise.

In fact, now with a more economical budget, we can berpelesir to Phuket. Direct flight from Jakarta to Phuket recently opened by Air Asia will be increasingly easier for travelers from Jakarta to it. Similarly, tourists who want to continue his vacation to Indonesia.

Small islands

Besides beaches, other places must be visited during your stay in Phuket is a small islands around Phuket are included in the National Park of Thailand. There are two main islands are frequently visited. Certainly the most famous Phi Phi Island, which became the location of acting Leonardo Di Caprio in the movie The Beach.

On this visit I was invited to enjoy the other islands are no less popular, the James Bond Island and other islands in the surrounding area is still included in Ao Phang Nga National Park. In the language of Thailand, the island called Ko Tapu. However, this island now better known as James Bond Island since the shooting location of James Bond film, The Man with the Golden Gun, starring Roger Moore decades ago.

If you are staying in Patong, the trip to the island takes two hours. One hour by bus to the dock, followed by a large ship. When the rains and bad weather, we can not come here. Thankfully, today's sunny weather so we could go there.

If you do not go with the group, there are many services that offer package tours trip to Phi Phi Island or James Bond Island. The price start from 1500 bath (approximately USD 450,000) per person, includes boat and lunch.

The ship that we were riding quite large, consisting of two no. The first floor serves as kitchen, where stacked canoes, and also the toilet. Meanwhile, the passengers can sit on the second floor that can accommodate up to 50 passengers. The average of the crew spoke English. During the journey to the island, our boat captain named Nik loudly explaining in detail about the four islands that became our destination that day.

With fluent English, and carrying a book of photographs and maps, he describes the condition of each island we would go. The sky was bright and friendly waves to make the journey comfortable. Not feel we arrived at James Bond Island. The ship that we were riding back a few hundred meters from the island. To land on the island, we use a canoe riding two passengers plus a guide to rowing.

Characteristic of this island is a small island shaped like a nail. In the middle of the island there is a small sandy beach smooth. All around there are a few souvenir sellers who sell a variety of shellfish and pearl handicrafts. However, the offer price is quite expensive so you need to bid by half. Quite a lot of tourists who come here so that the small beach looked overcrowded. Less than 30 minutes, we've had to go back to the ship.

The big surprise waiting for us on the ship, with a menu of food that most of the seafood was served at long tables neatly. With gusto, every passenger who ate the most delicious dishes that. Besides fish flavored sweet sauce, the chef also prepares a variety of ships other delicious menu, such as squid, shrimp, soup, pineapple fried, and fried rice. Cold drinks are also available for visitors. It is the dessert of tropical fruit typical of Thailand, such as pineapple and watermelon.

Finished eating, until we reached the second island, namely Hong Island. Still using a canoe, we were invited around to enjoy the beauty of the island whose name means "room" was. There is only one small door for entry into the middle of the island. For 30 minutes we were enjoying the calm sea water that is surrounded by limestone cliffs towering solid. Our guide as he rowed show rocks resembling a certain figure, such as Scooby Doo or the Buddha.

Thrilling adventure

Back to the ship, we settled into the third island, which is Phanak Island. If anything, this is a thrilling adventure. For toward the middle of this island, the traveler must pass through a door which also serves as a way out. For the past, we have to wait for sea-level where possible.

When sea water is too high, the door of a cave island reefs that can not be skipped, otherwise if the sea water receded, the center of the island can not be bypassed by a canoe because it was only mud. What if we are already in the middle of the island and the water receded? "We will wait for 3 hours until the tide again," Nik said calmly.

Because of the limited capacity of canoe and probably drowned, we were required to leave bags and our luggage on board. "Just bring your wallet and camera," Nik said as she distributed plastic bags to store the camera and our wallets.

In addition to sea-level problem, there was one thing that most makes adrenaline accelerated. Because the cave ceiling is low, we were required to be in a position to sleep in the canoe. In addition to a very thin space between the body and the ceiling of the cave, the conditions in the driveway of a very dark, so we had to bring a flashlight so that not one of our guides lead canoe. Travel for 10 minutes it seemed very long. One of our party who was plump worry admitted to shaking his skin torn by sharp rocks.

Luckily we soon arrived at the center of the island which has some mangrove trees. Satisfied around, we returned to test the path through the reef balls while sleeping. At noon it was quite a lot of travelers who come to canoe Phanak Island so we had to queue. Our guide also had to work hard to keep a canoe does not collide in the middle of the pitch-black rock. Some canoes had to be reduced wind to fit into the track. We also have to be careful not to parts of our bodies out of the canoe, if not to scratch the rock. Fun and exciting.

Satisfied with canoe adventure, we finally reached the last island, the Lawa Island. This small island has white sand is very soft. The view out towards the Andaman Sea also makes this place as a fitting location to spend the day relaxing. The visitors can also rent a recliner complete with umbrella for leyeh-leyeh the shore. It costs about 150 bath.

Unfortunately there are no coral reefs around the island so that we can not snorkeling or fishing. However, we can satisfy ourselves for swimming or canoeing in the clear green water. If you want to spend the night here, so visitors can rent a tent or a resort.

Because the body is tired, I chose to hold a towel and lay down in the sand that lies beneath the tree. Cool breeze that makes my heart feel so relaxed. Imperceptibly, the day began to dusk. Before the sun crept out, we returned to the boat canoe ride. We were ready to sail home accompanied by clouds spoiled.

Black and Gay Is Beautiful

In response to Donnie McClurkin's recent speech at a COGIC convention, gay activists and religious have taken out a full page announcement declaring an end to spiritual violence:

"For those of us in faith who have always loved the black church, the defining issue of our lives has been the churches damning stance on homosexuality. As children, the condemnation broke our spirit. As adolescents, this ridicule broke our hearts. As young adults, this disdain has attempted to drive us to the brink. Spiritual violence is wrong and it kills the spirit. The black church must find new ways to talk about sex and sexuality."

Anyone who's grown up in church knows all too well the lethal effects homophobia can have on the mind, body and spirit. Hopefully more churches will get the message.

Random Thoughts....

I'm in a random kind of mood (if that makes sense:), so here's some random thoughts. Feel free to respond with your own or comment on mine:

1. Finishing school and working (I finally got a job) is sucking up all my time (hence the lack of frequent posting:). But bills never take a holiday.

2. Is it just me or is Trey Songz knowingly giving winks to his gay fans with his photoshoots/videos? I mean he always has that smirk on his face, pouting his full lips, like he's saying "Yeah boi, I know you fantasizing about me right now? Then he proceeds to flex those arms and back muscles.... whoops, let me snap back to reality lol.

3. Ms. Janet was FIERCE with a capital F at the AMA's. I hope Rihanna was in the audience in taking notes like she needed extra credit to pass a class! Janet's performance reminded me of why I loved her in the first place.

4. Speaking of the AMA's Lady Gaga brought the heat as usual. But I'm a little worried with the tour, the re-release of The Fame, and the "Bad Romance" video, she may burn out artistically, which would suck massively. But knowing Ms. Gaga she'll pull out something spectacular.

5. Why have all of R. Kelly's songs for the past five years (give or take) been about the club? I'm serious, it always about flirting, drinking, scheming, plotting, and dancing in the club. Molestation charges aside, what happened to the R. Kelly that made "If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time, "I Wish" and "When A Woman's Fed Up"?

6. The third season of True Blood needs to start right now lol. Seriously I don't think I can wait until the summertime to see Lafayette, Jason, and my gurl Pam, especially after the way last season ended.

7. Isn't that whole Wal-Mart fiasco a hot mess?

8. How much do you wanna bet that Oprah will be back with new something(tv show, network, website, her own planet) after her show goes off the air (I still can't believe that's happening...I mean the show's literally been on as long as I've been alive). Mark my words, the big O will not go gently into that good night.

9. Cartoons are so watered down nowadays. Think about it: compare the stuff in the 80's and 90's (Rocko's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, PowerPuff Girls, Dexter's Lab) to the fluff on TV now. There's hardly any inside jokes for adults or other subversive humor.

10. I have to see Precious while it's still in theaters. Something tells me it'll be one of those life-changing films.

11. Wasn't Rihanna giving us Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct with the outfit she wore for her 20/20 interview? The new album might not be quite as good as Good Girl Gone Bad, but Ri-Ri can dress her ass off.

Transgender Day of Rememberance

Via Rod 2.0 below is a video listing all of the victims of anti-transgender violence. Unfortunately, violent attacks against trans people are on the rise. In the U.S. the victims are often black and latino, and sadly their murders often go unnoticed by the mainstream media. Personally what sickens me the most about anti-transgender prejudice is that a lot of it comes from the mouths of gays, lesbians and bisexual. As misunderstood, stereotyped and reviled as we are by straight homophobes and religious conservatives, we should be the last group of people to discriminate. Anyways, watch the clip below:

I Pledge Allegiance To The Gays....

I wonder what Donnie thinks of this. A 10-year old named Will Phillips says he won't say the pledge of allegiance until gays and lesbians get equal rights. Hmmm, when I was 10 I was obsessed with video games. Needless to say I think this is great, and takes a lot of courage, not to mention insight. How many 10-year old activists do you know? Watch the clip below:

Goodbye Dry Skin

Hot and dry weather is one of the causes of dry skin, even to make the skin hurt. However, not only are the dry air causes dry skin and cracked. There are other things more. What's that?

Bath with hot water
Our skin produces oil layer at the top for protection. When one bath too long or exposed to hot water for too long, this protective oil is slowly but surely be eroded. No wonder after a long bath, your skin feels tight and dry. You can do is to not choose bath. So that no dry skin, try to shower quickly and avoid using hot water, cold water should not, but the water should be lukewarm. After the bath tap-tap enough towels in the body, do not rub-rub. Immediately apply moisturizer.

One soap
One cause of dry skin is soap. Soap can quickly and easily stripped off layers of oil on your skin. Without realizing it, we often rub the body vigorously with soap and harsh, when in fact our bodies are not too dirty or sweaty.

One of the dilemmas of soap is small since we are required to wash hands frequently to avoid germs. Meanwhile, washing hands can make the skin become more dry, and for certain cases, wounds and bleeding and cause infection. Rough feeling on the skin after a bath is really dry skin upholstery has eroded oil.

Therefore, it is advisable to choose fragrance-free soap (fragrance-free). But avoid also labeled "unscented" because it still contains a bit of perfume. For those who have very dry skin, the safest option is to choose a gentle cleanser. If there is no buildup of dead skin thickening, such as calluses, you should limit your skin clean using a bath sponge or brush that can injure the skin.

Itchy clothing
Some types of clothing can make the skin itch, for example a shaggy sweater or wool. When you first try it was itching, then maybe the future will continue to make the skin itch. Because it should never wear again. Dry skin will become irritated when in contact with material like this. Leaving your skin exposed to the material uncomfortable clothes will only make your skin more dry and itchy. Avoid fabrics that can be itchy or too tight, because the seams can rub against your skin.

In addition to these things, drugs can make skin dry. Some of them; medication for high blood pressure, such as diuretics, or allergy medications, like antihistamines, and drugs to the skin, such as the acne drug, for example retinoids.

Medical condition
Generally, dry skin caused by external factors. But sometimes, dry skin can be a sign things are not healthy on the inside of the body, whether physical or natural conditions of a disease. For example, dry skin often occurs when a person gets older, particularly women, is caused by changes in hormone levels. As many as 75 percent of people aged over 64 years have dry skin. While some people again, regardless of age, have a tendency to be genetically dry skin.

O Donnie Boy...

If you follow or have followed gospel music for the past 10 or so years, you know all too well about Donnie McClurkin and his story. If not, here's the short version: Donnie was molested at age 8, lived "the gay lifestyle" for 20+ years, was eventually "delivered," and is now straight as a (celibate or "single") arrow. Now I don't want it to seem as though I'm making light of child molestation or abuse. It is awful and disgusting, and can no doubt leave lasting scars on its victims.

However, I am sick of Donnie and others like him using this as an excuse for why they were(are) gay. If anything being molested by someone of the same sex would probably turn you away from further sexual contact, not embracing it. And why is that women or girls who are raped or molested by older men do not cite this as the cause of their heterosexuality? Or young boys who are taken advantage of by older women for that matter? There are many people who've never been abused, were raised by loving parents and are still gay. Furthermore, what does walking or talking a certain way have to do with who you are as a man or woman? If all men suddenly became super butch and women are became ultra feminine there would still be gay folks. These people need gender and sexual orientation classes *smh*.

All of this ranting comes from an unhinged tirade Donnie gave at the COGIC Holy Convocation Youth Service. Listen to the three part foolishness below and see what I mean.

4 Mistakes When Using Credit Cards

Credit cards are able to facilitate our activities, but if not used wisely, will also make us get into big trouble. Basically, if you do not do the following 4 things, you will be free from the temptation to spend too much and the cost burden.

2. Takes too many credit cards. The number of card options that can be used to make you easily into debt, because it will be more difficult to track your spending (especially if you do not have records of your expenses). Having many credit cards are not always bad, the problem is if the abuse. So, limit your ability to carry only two credit cards that can be managed with caution.

3. Late payment. You will not only be fined for late payment, but also affected by interest rates continue to rise. If you're too busy making it difficult to leave the office or forget to pay, be a member of online banking or pay over the phone.

4. Often take cash advance, or cash. Cash advance is usually followed by interest rate higher than the purchase of flowers or expenditures (about 4%).

And He Was So Cute Too...

Via Out Sports.com

Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson has used three anti-gay slurs in the past 24 hours after he was confronted about using his Twitter account to rip his head coach Todd Haley.

When reporters entered the Chiefs locker room on Monday, Johnson said he was not answering any questions until Thursday. He then uttered this under his breath, according to radio station KCSP and Kent Babb of the Kansas City Star:

“Get your faggot asses out of here.”

Last night, when Johnson got into a Twitter spat with a fan, he called the fan a “fag,” according to Yahoo Sports, which monitored the exchange:

“think bout a clever diss then that wit ur fag pic. Christopher street boy. Is what us east coast cats call u.”

“Christopher street boy” is an obvious reference to gays for the Christopher Street gay pride parade in New York. The fan made mention of Johnson pleading guilty after allegedly spitting in the face of a female bar patron.

Johnson went off on Twitter (his account, once public, is now private) after the Chiefs (1-6) lost to San Diego, 37-7. He wrote that his father had more experience than first-year Chiefs head coach Todd Haley:

“My father played for the coach from “rememeber the titans”. Our coach played golf. My father played for redskins briefley. Our coach. Nuthn”

Johnson has had numerous run-ins with the law:

Johnson has had four arrests for various degrees of battery since being drafted by the Chiefs in 2003. One charge was pled down, with Johnson serving time in a domestic violence diversion program. A second charge was dropped, while two other charges - including the aforementioned spitting incident - were reduced to disturbing the peace. Johnson received probation for a guilty plea in the latter two charges.

“Fag,” “Faggot” and “Christopher street boy.” The NFL (if not the Chiefs) must fine and suspend Larry Johnson or else it condones the use of such language by its players.

Update: NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told Pro Football Talk that the league is investigating what Johnson said. “We are in the process of getting the facts,” he said.


Oh well. There are plenty of other athletes who are hella sexy and don't have a problem with the gays.

No Freakum Dresses For Malaysia

Beyonce has postponed a planned concert in Malaysia amid objections by Islamic conservatives that her performance would be too sexual.

Knowles, known for her provocative clothes and choreography, had been scheduled to perform at a Kuala Lumpur stadium Oct. 25. The show "has been postponed to a future date to be announced shortly," Malaysian entertainment company Marctensia said in a statement.

"The postponement is solely (the) decision of the artist and has nothing to do with other external reasons," the statement said.

A Marctensia representative declined to say whether the decision was prompted by criticism from the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, the country's largest opposition group, which has called for the show to be scrapped because it would promote "Western sexy performances."

Knowles also canceled a planned performance in Malaysia in 2007 following protest threats by the opposition Islamic party. At the time, her talent agency said the show was called off due to a scheduling conflict.

Instead, Knowles went to Indonesia, also a largely Muslim country, which has less stringent rules about how performers should dress and behave. Female artists at Malaysian concerts are required by government rules to cover up from the shoulders to knees, with no cleavage showing.

Other female stars, such as Avril Lavigne and Gwen Stefani have performed in the conservative country despite similar protests, and wore clothes that showed little flesh. Lawd I'd hate to see what would happen if Lil' Kim tried to do a show there lol!

Michael Eric Dyson On 'Gay Is The New Black'

This is classic Michael Eric Dyson. Intellectual, passionate and hilarious all at once. Watch the clip below:

Question of The Day: When Will We Rise Up?

Pretty much every black gay blog I've read has talked about our lack of cohesion/action as black LGBTs. I've responded on threads and blogged about why it seems so hard for us as black gays and lesbians to truly form a cohesive, outspoken community willing to stand up to the homophobia in our communities. Some say this apathy comes from the lack of outreach from mainstream (i.e. white) organizations. Others say it's because the homophobia we grew up with in church and the neighborhood have been drilled into us so deeply that at their core most black gays feel a degree shame over their sexuality. And some believe that most black gays just don't give a damn about marriage equality, hate crimes legislation, DADT, etc.

So my question is, after all the analysis and open threads and editorials have been written, what will it take? What will it take for us as black gays to rise up as an organized force and say 'No More.' No more sitting quietly while being degraded by the pastor. No more hiding our relationships or sexuality out of fear of being accused of "flaunting our lifestyle." No more feeling like we should just go along to get along, accepting whatever table scraps we can get.

I'm honestly at a loss as to what it would take for this to happen. So what do you think? Please leave comments and don't hold back (I have 8 followers so I know somebody reads this blog lol:).

Bill Loves Eric?

Gay Sex Scene for True Blood?

By Julie Bolcer

True Blood star Stephen Moyer (pictured, left) wants to sink his fangs into fellow actor Alexander Skarsgård.

The 39-year-old fiancée of Anna Paquin would like his vampire character, Bill Compton, to have a sex scene with Eric Northman, the character played by Skarsgård, according toDigital Spy.

“Alex is a good friend of mine and a fantastic actor and I love working with Alex and I don’t get to do it as much as I would love to,” Moyer told the Web site.

“You never know -- whether they’ll stick Eric and Bill in bed together, I don’t know. But here’s hoping,” added Moyer.

Personally I'd like to see Ms. Lafayette get his groove on with Jason or Eggs, but His Royal Hotness got shot down last season. But I could make do with Bill and Eric gettin' it on, even though I don't know how it would possibly fit into the show's story line.
