Casualty Of War…

“The 1st Casualty of War is the Truth”

“Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.” (Julius Caesar)

My President is cooler than your President! Ya Dig?

So the world witnessed history unfold on 1/20/2009. Its as if the world or America stood still as the nation’s capitol was taken over by Obama supporters, admirers, celebrities etc. he’s definitely the first “people’s” President in my lifetime. I’ve never seen a public figure with his kind of support, popularity and swagger.

Barack makes the presidency & politics cool. He makes young folk like myself want to really get involved with the “remaking’ of this country. His inspiration is monumental, and I no longer wish I was born in the 60’s during the Civil Rights struggle. i’m in the right time period and it was well worth the wait. It was hard getting to this point in American history, but well worth it. Not to mention, the U.S. will never be the same because of his candidacy and that alone is critical progress…

Moreover, when have we seen a first family that both looked so good, and made you feel good about the future of this country under their watch?

The Obama’s have a swagger like no other in the history of this country. They make Americans proud in general, and African-Americans in particular. Did you see how lovely & graceful Michelle Obama floated through the ceremonies? Did you see how enraptured Sasha & Malia were during the festivities, they are so genuine, right?

This is a proud moment in US history and we all witnessed it, where were you when we crossed the threshold into a NEW AGE?

Barack is bigger than MLK?

Barack Obama is bigger than MLK. Normally this weekend would be a bevy of information about the civil rights leader, but now we are inundated with everything Obama. Is it coincidence? Or is the media trying to capitalize off the rise of his stardom?

For sure, Obama is this generations iconic leader that has been sorely missing since the days of Malcolm X, and Martin King. It seemed that each generation had an iconic leader to voice the feelings of the voiceless. Booker T. Washington had WEB DuBois, and Marcus Mosiah Garvey usurped both of them for the hearts & minds of pan-African people around the world.

Kwame Nkrumah from Ghana was a colleague of Sekou Toure of Guinea-Bissau. Haile Selassie his imperial majesty of AXUM, called Ethiopia was ompatriots with Joseph Nyere in Kenya. Leopold Senghor president from Senegal was comrades with DuBois, as well as Frantz Fanon from Martinique. As all these men were instrumental in the Negritude movement.

Stephen Biko from the Republic of South Africa was a predecessor of Nelson Mandela in the Black Consciousness movement.

Now, Obama steps on the scene. Black America and the country as a whole has been sorely lacking an enigmatic thoughtful statesman like Mr. O. Is he in the same vein as these aforementioned stalwarts of equal rights & justice for all? Only time will tell. Nonetheless, he’s come at the right time.

Finally, we have him–so lets see if we can make quantum leaps in social justice across the board for many marginalized segments of society that have been virtually ignored for the past 20-30 years. Lets see if real effective CHANGE can be attained. Its a great time to be American. Its a great time to witness this history.

There will never be another Martin Luther King, but just maybe Barack Obama is cut from the same cloth, and perpetuate the reality of hte dream that MLK espoused. Let us pray he lives to see this revelation come to fruition. We have enough martyrs, now its time to birth visionaries, statesmen, true leaders both female and male on the world stage. This is a NEW DAY!!!

FINALLY,  IN MY LIFETIME! WE HAVE WHAT MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER  WOULD CALL A ‘GREAT DAY IN THE MORNING!’ YES MOTHER DEAR WE DO, AND I CALL YOUR PRESENCE TO WITNESS THIS MOMENT! ASHE`

Just thinking…

My soul bleeds from searching fore the reason to explain it’s existence. So it looks for meaning amongst the interests this body finds. Timeless moments captured in movies, ideas or memories can always instruct the attentive watcher.  Like songs that capture the imagination or record that special instance. Like a writer that pours out his soul on paper or online for all to read.

I’m in a trance, auto-writing this because my mind is preoccupied with thoughts of who, what, & where I am. NOT my physical frame, rather my soul & spirit that inanimate & involuntary aspect of myself. It’s like trying to extract the last drop of water out of a desert oasis, though it appears as a mirage. The power in which I attribute to it verifies the actuality of it.

Is that a dream or is this? I feel as though I’ve been reconnected to a fundamental truth. I only live for these fleeting moments that touch me so deep that my body drowns in resentment for its inability to stay more connected.

I yearn to stay present in the moment lnger. I yearn to not forget myself or my hidden power soeasily. I wish I didn’t have to be reminded how current I really am. I wish this feeling of supreme contentment would never leave. I wish I knew the trigger (ME) that causes & sustains my rememberance.

D-WADE, MVP OVER 1ST QUARTER OF SEASON!!!

D-Wade is having the best season of his career statistically speaking. Flash is on FYAH! By the numbers you already know He’s leading the league in scoring with a 29.1 points per game clip. In addition, he’s averaging 5.2 rebounds per game, and dishing out 7.3 dimes a game.

He’s fourth in steals, and is having a career best on the defensive side with his best number in the “block party” category. At one time in the top five in blocks. For a guard–thats just SICK!!

The one negative is that he’s also been leading the lead in turnovers—chalk this up to his being the only true playmaker on a squad that started 2 rookies for much of the season. Beasley now comes off the pine as 6th man.

If you don’t know by now, then you’d better ask somebody. Wade has been on a tear since the summer domination of China, Argentina & Spain. Forget what you heard, he was the best player in uniform for the USA. Flash didn’t start, but still managed to lead TEAM USA in scoring. He averaged over 16 per, and led the team with 27 in the championship game against Spain. Not sure they win the GOLD without Wad3!!! (look at the film)….

How do you explain the Heat being tied for 4th place in the Eastern conference 12/12/08 going into Friday nights game with divisional foe Atlanta Hawks? Moreover, they were tied for 2nd with those same Hawks in the Southeastern division with the Magic leading the pack.

I’ll tell you how you ’splain it—MVP caliber player, season, baller having a coming out party. Silencing the haters, critics, pundits & fake **** analysts! He’s said it him self that his season is MVP caliber. Although, he realizes that until the Heat strings together more wins in the W/L column he won’t be in contention for the league honor.

Even still, he’s got the people’s vote. He’s basically doing it alone. Not to knock UD, whose had a great season! Beasley has struggled on the defensive side, and Matrix has been spotty on offense, but a terror on the glass–an defensive end. Still, Wade is the heart & soul of a team that is outmatched with size almost every night. Couple that with a rookie coach—-and you see how valuable FLASH is to the HEAT & the NBA….

To what do we owe this meteoric resurgence? He’s playing with an edge, a chip on his shoulder. After being dogged the last two seasons with injuries, and ‘chicken little’ like criticism-dude said enough is enough! Funny how fast the pendulum swings to haters & doubters. In 2005, he was arguably the best in the leagu. Scoring at will, dishing alley-hoops to Shaq, coming off two Eastern conference finals appearances and on his way to another one.

That same year they finally surpassed the Pistons in the East, and went on to steal the heart from Nowitzki & the Mavericks along with the nBA title. To his credit, Wade won MVP honors for the finals. He had the most ‘Jordanesque” finals of any player since Jordan hung em up for good.

As a matter of fact, he had better overall numbers (averaging) than any  Jordan finals appearance. Wade was as dominant as Miami was WHITE HOT! You already know what it is..

Funny how times change, and this is the main reason Flash is on a tear throughout the NBA this season. If he gets help, from another breakdown penetrator & playmaker, along with a quality big man that defend & rebound–no one will want to see the Heat in April. NO ONE!!

Wade has won player of the week honors twice already this season. His latest, for the week of December 1-7. Where he fired of games of 37, 23 (hmm) & 38! He blazed Golden State, Utah, & OKC.

His overall game has improved, he’s improved his mid-range jumper, his 3 point range, and his defense! He’s even more of a vocal  leader on & off the floor with his team. Wade has been & will continue to be dominant over the course of the season!

Final word, only Oscar Robertson & Michael Jordan have averaged the numbers Wade has posted this season. MJ did it once & the BIG O did it six times. How is that for perspective on this kids season thus far? Yea kid, he’s only 26—not even in his prime yet, with an NBA title under his belt!!!

Large ASS-sets Protect against Diabetes?

S. Vergara

According to a recent Harvard Medical study: women who have extra subcutaneous fat around their derrières experience less debilitating illnesses, specifically diabetes.  On the other hand, stomach fat doesn’t necessarily seem to be a harmful thing, it just doesn’t protect one from diabetes.

Gabrielle Union

Whereas, there is a specific hormone released from the fat stored in the glutes that prevents the rise of diabetes. Scientists think that if they can harness those ’substances’ they can somehow thwart the onset of diabetes.

Venus Williams

Diabetes affects nearly 24 million Americans  or nearly 8%  Americans of the U.S. population according to the Center for Disease Control. While millions more are beset with the pre-conditions that lead to tha actual disease.

Adrienne Bailon

“Dr. Ronald Kahn, who led the study, noted that it was only butt fat and not the stomach fat traditionally associated with a ‘beer belly‘ that produced the positive results.”

Serena Williams

When mice were injected with higher “butt fat” there insulin and glucose levels decreased. In addition, to showing lower total fat mass, and a decrease in overall body weight. These scientific findings were published in the journal of cell metabolism.

Esoteric Astrology

Astrology is the study of the stars.  So, solar astrology is the study Sun & stars and there relation to each other. From times of old people have been mesmerized by the movement of the stars. Although, there are some facts that need  “spelling” out so that we can make sense of what is being celebrated.

Each year on January 1 everyone like to say happy new year. According to the gregorian calendar it is a new year. Although, what is new about this time of the year? All of the natural world has slowed down, and most plants, trees etc. are in a state of decay.

Can a new year be born out of death, frigidity & void? Or is the new year really in spring when all of nature renews, replenishes & reinvigorates itself with new life?

So, how did this time come to be celebrated as such, especially when the opposite seems to be true. What is the underlying meaning of this auspicious time of the year?

However, a little research in Pope Gregory and his idea of the Roman influence of time would be well worth while. The time we observe today, and the manner in which we derive our months etc. are from the Romans.

Consider, Julius & Augustus Ceasar were both given 31 days in there respective months of July & August. Despite the fact, that every other month has an alternate number of 30 & 31 days. The month of February not included.

During the Winter solstice which begins December 21 the earth is at its southern most point in relation to the sun. At this time of the year the sun is at most distant point, hence the cold climate. This is the longest night of the year, and subsequently the shortest day of the year.

From December 21 to December 24, the length of days is approximately the same. Then, on the 25th of December the SUN is symbolically born as sunlight increases one minute per day up until the Spring equinox. Each successive day is a ‘new sun’ as more light is furnished with the sun’s growing strength. The sun is said to regenerate or resurrect itself.

Is this the reason for the observance of 12/25 as the birth of the anointed one called “the Christ?”

When Christ 2,000 years ago he was born in the astrological sign of the fish or Pisces. This is why he was said to be a fisher of men. Moreover, the early symbol of the followers of Christ was the fish.

Today our universe is in the ‘age of Aquarius.” What does this mean?
