Previously Unseen Specialness

I was just going through my old blog posts and making them more template friendly, and I found this post which I never posted. I wrote it during the time when we'd just lost our senior minister at my old church where I was the Youth Minister. So if you want to see a post that till now has been hidden, go click on the link. To save you the time though, it's just me musing on church law and the significance of paid staff so I can't imagine many of you would be that interested.

MODEL CASTING: For Fashion Designers Expo Oct 21-22, 2010

Tuesday Aug 3, 2010 @ Newport Beach Resort. Ladies come out prepared for anything this is a casting!

Laurence Fishburne’s Daughter a porn star? FOR REAL!!

Really! It's being reported that Montana Fishburne , 19 yr. old daughter of famed actor Laurence Fishburne, plans on releasing her own sex tape through Vivid Entertainment, the same company who released the Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Kendra Wilkinson sex tapes. The tape wasn’t something that was leaked, Montana herself is releasing it. Montana says she has seen how successful Kim Kardashian became after her sex tape was released and is hoping for the same type of response. The tape is set to be released in August….

I don't think she realized that these chicks was already in the lime light, the sex tape just boost up their careers. Which they all so-called regret! Well I feel Kim really did regret her tape and it being leaked. The rest of them really enjoyed it, IN MY OPINION. I have no clue who she is, so her sex tape would not matter. I mean if a person says, "hey The Metrix dude (the black one) daughter made a sex tape." I would say, "Ok and?" Who is she? What does she do? So this wont put her on the level of Kim, Paris and Kendra. On top of that she wants it to be leaked! That right there makes her lose major respect.

Old Skool Disses "NEW" {Video of Aaron Hall}

Ok yes Aaron Hall was the man, but let's face facts he was apart of an error that is no longer. I wish it would come back, but let's face it that may never happen! Now the fact that he brings up R. Kelly and him copping his style, maybe he did, but he elevated it. The main thing that messed up R. Kelly's career was the child molesting charges. Other then that he would still be on top! If people don't notice, that is the main reason why Trey Songz career jumped off. Since Jay-Z banned R. Kelly from the secret society, they recruited Trey to take his place. As fare as The Dream I am sorry, btu he is telling the truth. So I don't have nothing to really say about that! All I can say is Aaron Hall was the truth in his time, but can he really make a come back? I don't know about that!

FORMER COHEN MANAGER KELLEY LYNCH FLEES TO FT LAUDERDALE, FL

Kelley Lynch, following her arrest at Juanita’s Restaurant in Boulder, Co.

Several readers have emailed us to find out what happened to Leonard Cohen’s former manager Kelley Lynch—whose life fell apart after she got caught in late 2004 with her hand in the till to the tune of five million dollars, and for the last 14 months has waged a relentless, and at times hilarious, internet and email war against this blog and its editor.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the saga, Lynch (who was Cohen’s manager from ’88-’2004) suffered a mental breakdown, lost her home in foreclosure, got sued by Cohen for $7.3 million (and had a theft based civil judgment entered against her in that amount), lost custody of her 12 year old son, was evicted from her office (resulting in an additional money judgment), was sued on her $70,000 unpaid Neiman Marcus account, suffered several additional money judgments and started living on the streets of Santa Monica.

Lynch also commenced her now trade-mark campaign of internet terror against Leonard Cohen and anyone else who dared disagree with her flood of daily incoherent, ranting, and conspiracy themed emails and blog posts—as anyone who has ever participated in an internet discussion on the subject of Leonard Cohen or the Phil Spector case knows all too well.

Lynch also shrugged off several civil harassment restraining orders issued against her (including two in Cohen’s favor) as well as six bench warrants for her arrest as all “fraudulent”.

In approximately 2007 Lynch left Santa Monica and moved in with a former Buddhist acquaintance in Boulder, Colorado—which arrangement terminated shortly after Lynch was served at the residence with yet additional legal papers. (Lynch claims that she left because the man had "mother-in-law problems".)

From there Lynch moved to a succession of transient living accommodations, was (in her words) “frequently arrested” by the Boulder Police Department, briefly fled to New Jersey (after Cohen’s lawyers obtained a restraining order against her following a Colorado court hearing), returned to Louisville, Colorado (all the while leaving 10-15 ranting voice messages a day on Bruce Cutler’s office telephone system, and sending as many emails a day to the IRS and the FBI demanding the arrest of her growing list of “enemies”), and then moved in 2009 to Houston, Texas where she lived in a homeless shelter at night, and relentlessly blogged by day from a branch of the Houston Public Library.

In November of 2009 Lynch moved back to Los Angeles and into the apartment of her 23 year old son Rutger Penick.

Throughout all of this time, Kelley Lynch has clung to the fantasy that her “dear friend” Phil Spector will ride to her rescue by providing the budget and lawyers necessary for Lynch to vanquish Cohen, this blog, the LAPD, prosecutor Alan Jackson and her myriad other perceived “enemies” in court.

But, alas, after thousands of voice messages and email messages to Phil Spector’s former and current “legal team”, and notwithstanding direct entreaties by post to the now incarcerated creator of the Wall of Sound, the proverbial “lawyers, guns, and money” have failed to issue forth. Darn!

Because Kelley Lynch is impervious to logic and consumed by conspiracy theories regarding the genesis of her downhill slide (instead of realizing she was fired for stealing-->no job, no money-->no money, no house-->no house, no custody and so on) she is always exasperating and her hundreds of emails a week (copy to the IRS, the FBI, governors, attorneys, mayors, the media) hilarious.

But on July 8, 2010 Kelley Lynch seemingly dropped off the face of the earth. No posts on her inane “Cyber-terrorismWatch Dog Blog”. No daily rant emails. No posts on other sites about how she is going to “take everyone down legally”.

So where is she? Curious? Then let’s get to the gossip!

Actually, it’s more than gossip.

On July 8, 2010 Kelley Lynch abruptly moved out of her son Rutger’s Los Angeles apartment and in with an old friend—again from her “Buddhist days”—in Fort Lauderdale Florida.

How do we know this?

A source ran into her two weeks ago in Ft. Lauderdale with her old friend “Eric”—who is a dealer in antique Buddhist artifacts, and reported that she is now bunking with him.

It turns out that “Eric” is Eric Salter, who attended a Buddhist seminary with Lynch’s second husband Douglas Penick—so there is a definitely connection there dating back decades. (Note that Mr. Salter has sent us a dozen emails denying that Lynch is living with him.)

Additionally, in the last three and a half weeks, we have received roughly 300 emails from Kelley Lynch that were sent from a Fort Lauderdale IP address.

And then there are the 30 unsolicited emails we received from Ms. Lynch in the last few days gratuitously denying that she is now at Eric’s—and to stop “criminally harassing” her “friend Eric Salter”, as well as the dozen emails to the FBI, the IRS, and other demanding that we be “investigated” and “charged” with “criminally harassing Eric”. Which is, of course, the same pattern of denial that Lynch engaged in when we published that she was blogging from Boulder, when we noted that she was living in Houston, and when we mentioned here that she had moved in with her son Rutger in Los Angeles.

In other words, anything that Kelley Lynch—or anyone else—spends that much energy denying, must be true.

So what is Lynch’s major malfunction?

Aside from being a chronic alcoholic (our source told us that when he saw her two weeks ago she was too drunk to even carry on a coherent conversation) we have also learned that her older brother Jay was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic over 30 years ago, and also became homeless.

In any event, whatever happens in the continuing saga that is Kelley Lynch, it is sure to be interesting—so stay tuned folks.

Inspire Me

I love elections. Too bad this one's boring.

At least it was boring but all these Labor leaks are spicing things up. I'm not feeling all that compassionate. If you stab your people in the back, you can't expect them to behave while you live of their demise. Labor came out looking strong when they dumped Rudd. Now it's all looking like a bit of a shambles. The Libs are looking good, because Labor is just falling apart.

I kinda hope Labor don't win, just to punish them for their selfish dumping of their leader that brought them to power. Their fear of losing the election, is now manifesting itself all over the place as they just seem to be playing everyone's fear and prejudices. They're going right on immigration, refugees, gay marriage. They're ignoring mental health needs. No one is talking about the war. And they're trying to impress everyone with their balanced budget. None of this sounds like strong moral leadership, it seems to be playing to conservative agenda.

It seems particularly absurd that they have an openly gay Senator who has to speak out about her opposition to gay marriage. That doesn't make the party look united, it just makes them look like their stomping on the individual beliefs and convictions of their people.

I guess all this means that I'm not really finding this boring at all. I'm just finding it uninspiring. At least uninspiring is less likely to let me down.

Wyclef For President? It's about TIME!!!!

I seen this coming...
According to a newspaper in Canada singer Wyclef John may be considering a career at politics. Le Droit reported that Wyclef may be thinking about entering the presidential race in Haiti. Wyclef was quoted as saying “I can’t sing forever.” The presidential election in Haiti is November 28th. His foundation Yele has released the statement below:

“Wyclef’s commitment to his homeland and its youth is boundless, and he will remain its greatest supporter regardless of whether he is part of the government moving forward. At this time, Wyclef Jean has not announced his intent to run for Haitian president”

Why not? I mean with all the things you have done for Haiti, your respect level should be out of this world. He is right, he can't sing forever and I am glad he sees that unlike some of these artist. Don't get me wrong Wyclef is so talented, but being a musician who spreads positivity should try to make major changes. With this election I can see Wyclef doing so! Whatever he does I will continue to support him! Good Luck!

Humm I'm not sure about Kid Sister "Big N Bad"

Now I am a fan of Kid Sister, but it's time for her to get some real lyrics in! Her style is different, very fun and cute. If you been to Chi-town (Chicago) you would understand it even more. However her flow to me is sick and I would love to hear some real lyrics. Now when I say real, I mean being a protege of Kanye West I feel her rhymes could have a little more meaning. With artist like Kanye West, Common, Twista, Da Brat and the list goes on, I need kid sista to stop with the kiddie tunes.

This video "Big and Bad" does catch your eye, but does not keep you around to listen to the entire song. If I go party with my white people and hear it in the club maybe it would sound different, but for now sober I am not really feeling this one.

Minorgraine

I was sitting at work today, diligently looking at photos on istock of backpacks (it was pretty inspiring) when I realised I couldn't see things that I was looking at. I could see everything around what I was looking at, but in the centre of my vision I had a white spot like I'd been looking at a light, except I hadn't.

My immediate thought was "I'm going blind." Then I thought "If that's true I can probably take a day off work tomorrow." My third thought was "If I go blind, I'll be able to do an inspirational preaching tour." My fourth thought was "I hope, if I go blind, I don't start dressing like a blind person, unless it's Stevie Wonder."

Generally, if ever I find a problem with my health and the diagnosis is not immediately apparent to me, I jump first to worst case scenario and then to the inspirational preaching tour. "Maybe I've got cancer... Inspirational preaching tour", "Maybe I've got a rare degenerative disease... Inspirational preaching tour.", "Maybe I'm going bald... Inspirational preaching tour." Actually I'm planning the tour for my balding testimony now. I just need the hairline to recede a little more.

Anyway, the blind spot moved from being in the middle of my vision, to the left-side of my vision so I lost all my peripheral vision on the left. I realised than that I wasn't going blind I was just getting a migraine. I was a little disappointed that the preaching tour was off the cards, but I did still harbour a small hope that I could still take the day off work tomorrow and watch DVDs or something. I did at the very least start planning how I was going to get home with no peripheral vision. I thought driving would be a touch unsafe.

But, as it happens, the vision cleared up and the migraine never appeared. I got a tiny little headache and I felt sleepy during the news tonight, that's it. I've only ever gotten one migraine in my life, and I'm pretty sure I can't call what I had today a migraine. It was a poor excuse for a migraine. It was a failgraine. If I could capture it on a digital camera, I'd send it in to Fail Blog for everyone to laugh at.

But I'm not complaining. Even though I won't get to stay home and watch DVDs tomorrow, I am happy I'm not lying in a dark room with a throbbing head, feeling like I'm birthing a garden gnome out of my skull. And for all those of you who do get migraines, I wish this migraine on you from now on. You'll probably enjoy it compared to your usual torment. This one just kinda tickles.

Respect.

Eminem continues counseling with Elton John

Eminem use to get so much heat from the Gay Society, the man did a surprise performance with Elton John to calm them down. Since Eminem And Elton John performance at The 2001 Grammy Awards, Em and Elton has had a good relationship! Resently in a interview with Spin Magazine Em tells them that Elton Continues to consoel him with his addiction to prescription pain killers.

As previously reported, Sir Elton admitted to counseling Em for over 18 months while he struggled to get clean before the release of his Relapse album. Now with Recovery; the follow-up to Relapse in stores, Em says the music legend is continuing to offer him assistance.

“Elton John calls me once a week. He used to tell me stuff like, 'You're going to start seeing certain things you've been overlooking'. And it came true. I'd walk around like, 'Damn, that tree does look crazy, look at all those leaves!' Things I didn't notice when I was f--ked up.” -Eminem

Foxy Brown PLEASE return! But come better then this..............

According to HipHop Wired, Foxy Brown gave her first performance Sunday since being arrested for violating an order of protection. The Brooklyn emcee was arrested Wednesday after allegedly “mooning” and cursing at a neighbor she was supposed to cease contact with. Foxy performed at B.B. King's in New York and rocked the crowd with her hits including “Candy” and “Take You Home.

What I want to know is if she had any friends with her? At least one, that is not a dude? Yes women cause drama, but sometimes dudes won't tell you the truth about what you wearing! I don't understand WHY she picked this outfit! I love Foxy Brown, but this was not cool at all! I just had a baby and know that I should not waer certain things. Even in cloths I should wear I still wonder if it fits proper!



At least everything matched!


Addressing her arrest to the crowd, Foxy said, “This is what we tell all the haters: You can't keep a good b*tch down. We makes bail." Okay wasn't she just on The Monique Show crying and being madd humble? What happened from that time til now? On the real Foxy got her reasons for being bitter and one day girl talk needs to get this bitter sweet news. What I want to know is when is she coming back out to the game? Even thou it might be hard since Nicki Minaj jacked a piece of her style as well. She should really try, because she was one of the best! Well once she minus that Diva attitude.

I didn't watch the debate or MasterChef. I went to church.

If you're wondering, Jesus won.

Inception

I went to see Inception yesterday. I think it's probably one of the best executed films I've seen in years. Conceptually it's original. The idea of doing a heist movie and setting most of the action inside people's dreams is pretty huge. Dream sequences in film are usually rather lackluster. Either they're too absurd, or too inconsequential to the plot. Yet this film manages to pull off huge parts of the film in dreams, without them either becoming etherial and meaningless, or undream like. While you could be tempted not to worry about danger in a dream because "it's all a dream", Nolan manages to to make the audience genuinely care about the outcome of events without resorting to cheap Fredy Kruger tricks.

Christopher Nolan's direction is amazing. He keeps such a tight reign on what could be an extremely confusing story, that it comes off seamlessly. While it would be easy for a viewer to get lost in the film, it's made in such a way that you always know where you are unless you shouldn't know where you are. Some films which are so highly reliant on mind bending concepts mean that the viewer spends a lot of time saying "What's going on here? Where are they know?", yet this film is so cleanly done, the viewer can see three different scenes, in three different places, using the same characters in the space of 10 seconds and know exactly where they are and what's going on the whole time. The final half hour is some of the most tense, well edited, film making I have ever seen. Particularly worth watching is the zero gravity fight scene, which is so beautifully put together, amazingly choreographed, and fun to watch, it's probably the best fight scene in the past few years.

I know I'm not actually saying much about the plot, or themes, or characters, but I don't really want to. You really should see this film. It's not worth explaining, because it's too hard to explain well. Just go see it, because I said so.

MEL GIBSON’S EX BACKED OUT OF $15 M SETTLEMENT REACHED AT PRIVATE MEDIATION

TMZ is reporting a big number that his been mentioned in several prior news reports: Fifteen Million Dollars.

That is the financial package that the ex’s politically connected former attorney, civil trial lawyer Eric M. George, won for his client at a private mediation earlier this year.

The ex—and Gibson—signed a written, confidential settlement agreement at that time, but for reasons assumed to boil down to greed, the ex reneged on the agreement, hired her present family law attorney, and leaked the audio tapes to Radar online through a third party now believed to be her sister.

Gibson’s lawyers scoff at the idea that the ex backed out of the settlement because it called for unsupervised visitation between Gibson and his child—because since the date of the alleged “assault” until she leaked the tapes he had been encouraging Gibson to spend as much time with the child as possible--and he did.

In addition, her family law attorney said in court this week that the settlement agreement was “irrelevant” because she was represented by George, and not a family law attorney, when she agreed (in writing) to the $15 million settlement package that included visitation rights for Gibson.

It is hard to imagine the ex’s current attorney thinking that she could even come close to a settlement of that magnitude now, since all that she will be entitled to in family court is monthly child support—provided that she is awarded custody of the child.

Clearly, the tapes (or more precisely the promise to keep them confidential)—which were previewed at the mediation—played a major role in Gibson’s agreement to pay the Russian scam artist fifteen million dollars, but now that the tapes have been played on every cable TV station in the world 24/7 for two weeks, her leverage has evaporated.

In other words, the Russian’s threat to sue Gibson for assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress if the case did not settle in mediation was a way of negotiating a financial settlement in exchange for the tapes never seeing the light of day without calling it extortion. But now that the tapes are out there, what more can she do to Gibson?

The Russian had her moment of maximum leverage when, through attorney #1, she negotiated a $15M windfall, and through greed she flushed it down the toilet.

We hope her sister got a lot of money from Radar online for those tampered with tapes. Because that is all the grifter is ever going to see over and above monthly child support.

I saw myself in the mirror today and realised what I'd look like if I were bald. I'm pretty sure my head is exactly the same shape as my Dad's - just less full of fatherly goodness.

SOURCE: GIBSON’S EX’S SISTER GAVE RANT TAPES TO RADAR ONLINE

It was a big day in court for Mel Gibson.

Even though neither he nor his legally challenged Russian ex girlfriend were present, their attorneys were in a two hour closed court session with the judge today.

Word has leaked to the Hollywood Reporter following the hearing, though, that a new suspect has emerged in the mystery of who handed over the faked Gibson audio tapes to Radar online: The ex girlfriends sister:

“Several sources confirm that Oksana Grigorieva's younger sister, Natalie, is suspected of having leaked the audio tapes to the online website and is currently being looked at by authorities.

"I suspect that if the authorities look at the sister, they'll find a wire transfer or a check to her from the website," alleges a source close to the case. "She and Oksana are very close."

“Another source close to the case also claims that Oksana's sister was involved in first shopping the audio tapes to various media outlets before finally making the sale to Radar.

"All the tabloids said no to the deal because they were asked to purchase the audio tapes before hearing them," says another source close to the case.

“If Oksana's sister is found to have brokered the deal at the behest of her sister, it's possible that the judge could find the Russian singer in contempt of court. Grigorieva could also be facing possible extortion charges as well based on a text and emails that she sent Gibson.

“In the text message, reported exclusively by THR on Wednesday, Grigorieva wrote Gibson that the reason she recorded him was because "you broke your agreement with me."

“Grigorieva on Thursday claimed that the only reason she balked at signing the long form settlement agreement when it was placed in front of her was because it gave Gibson unsupervised visits with their child.

"The statement is completely false. This never happened," counters a source close to the case, adding, "This is the third explanation that she's offered for why she backed out of the agreement."

We always assumed that—regardless of whether it was her attorney or someone else that shopped the tapes to Radar online—it was done at the behest of Gibson’s ex.

We are relieved to lean that it was not the ex’s attorney after all. Although well regarded in his profession (Southern California divorce lawyers), the man is somewhere north of 80 years old.

While the ex may have believed that releasing the tapes to the media, in addition to generating some short term cash, might tactically benefit her by putting pressure on Mel Gibson to pay her millions to shut her up, it had just the opposite effect.

By going nuclear on Gibson she has at once emptied her arsenal of ammunition and taken away all incentive for Gibson to pay her anything at all except court order child support (assuming that when the smoke clears she will even have custody of their child and not be behind bars for the illegal taping and attempted extortion of the action star).

Now what damage the ex was capable of doing has been done, and Mel Gibson will only benefit by definitively proving in court that the Russian faked her voice on the heavily edited audio tapes, and that as mercurial and abusive as Gibson comes across on the tapes a. he was goaded into losing his cool and b. Gibson never laid a hand on her.

Stay tuned folks. Because while some of the talking heads on cable television may still be buying the Russian grafter’s shtick, there are far too many holes and fabrications in her so called “evidence”, and this is not going to be quite the ending that ex had in mind. We are quite sure of that.

Reminisce Thursdays: "BELLY"

I was watching one of my favorite movies "BELLY" and was like DMX what happened? For real during this time DMX was on top, but them demons he rapped about got the best of him. One of my favorite part was when his girl Keyisha (Taral Hicks) calls Tommy (DMX) side chick and the chick was fresh talking all that shit about messing with her man. Then she goes curses his ass out, but then he gives her the business well to where he puts her ass to sleep! LORD I love it!!! I mean yes Nas and T-Boz was nice and passionate. But DMX and Taral part was that real make up sex I love to get. Remember make-up sex is the best sex. It you forgot that scene check it out right here. While living in D.C. I remember hearing about this chick Taral Hicks. Can anyone one tell me what happened to her? She had a few songs and did this movie then disappeared. From what I read she is currently married to Loren Dawson, with whom she has a son, and lives in North Jersey where she is working as a teacher. Hicks is a Christian and has expressed interest in pursuing a career in gospel music.

If you from up north I know you remember Taral Hicks because she re-made Deniece Williams "Silly" and she actually did a GREAT job. Trust me I love this song with a passion, so for her to re-make it and do a good job meant a lot to me! If you never seen it or don't remember check it out!


This one brings me back to Brooklyn....


This time of my life brings back a lot of good memories that make me wanna reminisce!

GIBSON EX NOW TARGET OF EXTORTION INVESTIGATION, LA COUNTY SHERIFF SAYS

The Ukrainian woman who by “coincidence” only gets pregnant by rich celebrities, notwithstanding her sperm rich past

Although this story comes from TMZ.com, since the source is a named spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department speaking for attribution it is probably very reliable.

[UPDATE: The AP has now picked up this story since we posted.]

The bottom line is that Los Angeles law enforcement is now actively investigating Mel Gibson’s charges, made through his attorney Blair Berk (a partner with famed criminal lawyer Barry Tarlow in Tarlow & Berk) in a presentation yesterday, that his ex girlfriend committed the crime of extortion by threatening to go public with the now infamous rant tapes unless the actor paid her millions.

According to Mel’s camp, a deal was even agreed to in principle and written up whereby the ex was to receive $15,000,000—but she got greedy and refused to sign on the dotted line.

Says Sheriff Department spokesperson Steve Whitmore to TMZ: “Extortion allegations have been brought to our attention and we are certainly going to be looking at that."

Those of you that think that a criminal or civil (brought by Mel for every "hryvnia" the scam artist has stuffed into the mattress) extortion charge (known colloquially as “blackmail”) is far fetched should read our prior coverage of the attorney and client who tried to shakedown Michael Flatley with a rape allegation. A subsequent civil suit for extortion resulted in an $11 million dollar judgment in the Lord of the Dance star’s favor.

Extortion is committed whenever a person asks for money or other financial benefits under an express or implied threat of going public with reputation damaging information—even if the information is true.

And then there is the thee years in a woman’s prison (sorry Comrade, no Crystal there) the fecund scamstress is facing for secretly recording Gibson in violation of Penal Code Section 632. As in 3 years in the joint for EACH illegal recording.

Bye, bye baby, bye bye.

UPDATE: The MSM now has this story: Sheriff investigating Gibson's ex for extortion (AP)

Yes! Optus!

Inspiration Abort!

So I didn't quite get that run done that I was planning on doing. Well at least not at the time I was planning to do it.

I woke up this morning, ten to six, and it was raining, and I couldn't find my earphones, and my iPod was in the car, and the car was in the garage. So I went back to bed.

But when I got home from work, I did that run. And you'll all be very inspired. I ran 7km in 42min. Which means were that the actually City to Surf I'd have a lazy 18 minutes to run the remaining 7km. Or to put it another way a little under 2 minutes per km off my pace tonight to beat 60mins. Easy.

If I beat this goal, they're gonna make a movie about me. The only way I can be more inspiring is if I was in a wheel chair. Or perhaps if my Dad was in a wheel chair and I was a quadrupal amputee, and I carried my Dad the whole 14km to fufill his dream of running the City to Surf before he died of some shrapnel that was slowly working it's way into his heart, after saving a baby during September 11.

The sad thing about this run was, my Nike+ sensor died because I hadn't used it in a year and three months. So I can't record the run on the internet. It won't make it into the snazzy graph, and it'll hurt my currently amazing stats. And the play list wasn't so impressive. Though I did run to MC Hammer for about a km which was inspirational. "You can't touch this."

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm not actually going to do 14km in 60mins. It's just always been a dream of mine. But I really do want to do it in less that 70mins. That was my time last time I ran the City to Surf, only 11 years ago. You only get better with age don't you?

Pros and Cons of Shaving Pubic Hair for Women!

Women have pubic hair for a reason. The coarse texture is meant to trap dirt and bacteria, and keep it out of her vagina. Many people believe that because of this, the hair gets dirty and gross and should be removed to maintain personal hygiene. However, consider this: if there's no hair for all that dirt and bacteria to get trapped in, it can get inside her vagina and cause infections. What's worse, hair or an infection?

It has also been said that pubic hair forms an air pocket to keep the area cool. Without that air pocket, that area can get sweaty, a perfect breeding ground for yeast and bacteria.

Shaving the pubic area has its own risks. That area can get dirty and full of bacteria, and if there's a nick or cut, than that cut is likely to get infected. Ingrown hairs are infections on their own, and they're very uncomfortable. The skin down there is very sensitive, and prone to razor burn, which is never pleasant. Neither is stubble, which is worse there than it is on the legs or even armpits. Waxing is safer, but if not done properly can cause an infection. There have also been stories of waxing parlors using unsanitary equipment!

Another purpose of pubic hair is to give off pheromones, which are supposed to help a woman attract a mate. Sex can feel a little lacking without those natural pheromones, even if there's no hair down there.

Because of the health risks, some women decide to trim. Trimming does have benefits, it can make oral sex easier, and can make menstruation a little neater, but it's not as risky to her health. This can be a good compromise for many couples who find themselves in conflict over something to simple as shaving.

To many women, their pubic hair is what separates them from the girls. It's womanly, mature, and natural. What the goddess gave her. It should be her decision whether to shave it, wax it, trim it, or leave it be. It's her health, and that's more important than her partner's sexual pleasure.

I am really feeling this track right here. It's very commercial and can cross over. Sean Kingston & Trina did their thing on this track. I like the South Florida connection they got going on.

“Tiny and Toya” Not Returning For Season 3, Toya Talks New Show [Video]

I am sad that this show is coming to an end! Out of all of the females in this game, these two are so real to me. Toya revealed to Msdramatv.com that the decision to end the show after two seasons was mostly due to situations surrounding Tiny.
“I am sad that we won't be back, but I understand why she made the decision,” Toya said. “She has her singing career, the kids' group and a wedding so as a friend I understand her need for privacy.”

Humm I wonder if it is because T.I. is home and ruling her life again!

GIBSON’S EX’S VOICE ADDED TO RANT TAPES LATER, EXPERTS SAY

In view of her long history of running the pregnancy con on wealthy celebrities, we have been warning our readers to view any evidence proffered by Gibson’s ex (we refuse to print her name) with a great skepticism.

In addition to the fact that the photos that the Russian scam artist took the day Gibson allegedly hit her in the mouth hard enough to break two teeth show no facial or lip cuts, bruising, or swelling, it now appears conclusive that the audio tapes that the ex leaked to Radar on-line were phonied up, using tapes that the Russian con artist secretly made of Gibson from the beginning (before he even left his wife) that were remixed and dubbed using a voice track for the ex that was recently recorded using a professional microphone. Therefore, for example, what appear to be admissions on the tapes by Gibson following accusations by the ex, may be taken completely out of context and may not be admissions at all.

Nor is whatever provoked the outbursts from Gibson on the tapes accurately portrayed. The entire context appears to have been faked.

There is no denying by the audio experts that it is Mel Gibson's voice on the tapes. They say that the tapes have been spliced and put together using a professional microphone and recording techniques.

In addition, in one tape released by the ex to Radar on-line, Gibson appears to be referring to something that sounds as if he was still living with his wife, which would bring that phone call back to the beginning of their relationship.

She apparently faked teeth damage by Gibson, and faked the audio tapes—all in connection with her demand for millions from Gibson to make it all go away.

That that is after scamming the star in to falling for her and getting her pregnant. (just like she did with James Bond star Timothy Dalton in London).

Nice lady.

Drake Plays Obama? I can see it can you?

Drake went from Degrassi to Young Money! Is he really thinking of going back to his first love "ACTING?" Just in case you didn't know Mr. Wayne Money himself is preaping for his dream role. In a recent interview with Paper Magazine Drake states

“Slowly but surely. I'm not in the study mode because nobody's called me about anything, but I just pay attention so when the day comes I'm not scrambling to learn how to speak like him. I want to be involved in great film projects. I don't want to do the basketball movie that everyone does. I don't want to do the typical Black film that everyone expects. I think that I have enough experience to actually be involved in a real meaty [role].”

Does drake have what it takes to play Mr. Obama? So far he does, I mean he is a mix with Salt and pepper, he has that conservative look and he actually can speak proper. I am sure he can show that true feeling in this role and show that being mix is not easy! Just as Obama made it clear to the world, Drake must know the feeling! So maybe he can pull this off, only time can tell.

[Video] Kat Stacks Talks about Son & Why She Doesn't Prostitute…Anymore!

In an interview with VladTV.com, Stacks states that she never intended for her sexual escapades to make her famous. Yeah I am sure every vixen feels the same until they see an opportunity. I just feel like people can't hate on these chicks, because if the men didn't entertain it, the juice they have on these dudes would not be revealed. If you going to sleep with a groupie treat her right, so she won't air your business.

Inspiration

Tomorrow morning I'm getting up at 6am to begin training for the City to Surf. I have two and a half weeks to get fit enough to run 14kms in under 60 minutes. That's the goal. If I actually try and achieve that goal these next two and a half weeks are going to be like a freakin' Rocky montage. Prepare to be inspired people.

Lil Kim Surprise?

Yes at a recent show in Arizona The Queen B brings out a long time friend to Mr. DMX himself. It was a shock to fans to see the Dog man come out looking fresh and clean. Watch as Lil Kim and DMX perform one of her classics Money, Power, Respect....No worries Kim you still the Original!!!!

MEL GIBSON EX FABRICATED ASSAULT IN $10M EXTORTION ATTEMPT, HER OWN DENTIST SAYS, OTHER EXPERTS CONFIRM

Don’t worry baby, I’m on the pill….

No surprises here—given her scam-artist past, but it now appears that Mel Gibson’s ex was NOT punched in the mouth (either "twice" or at all) as is alleged by the Russian “singer” (whose CD, produced by Gibson, sold 200 copies); the alleged Gibson "one-two" punch that damaged the veneers on two front teeth never happened. And even the Ukrainian grafter’s own dentist says so.

Here is the story from the Huffington Post—who was one of Gibson’s early detractors—a true sign that the worm has turned:

"Sources connected to [the ex’s] dentist say he believes the photo is doctored.

"The sources quote Dr. Ross Shelden as saying, "The nose is not hers. The lips are not right. It's not a true and accurate picture. It has definitely been altered."

"PREVIOUSLY: Radar has released a photo of Mel Gibson's ex, [name redacted], after she says he punched her twice in the mouth, knocking out her teeth and giving her a concussion.

"[She] lost a veneer and the right front tooth was severely chipped," a source familiar with the investigation told Radar.

“[Her] teeth were not damaged. Her dentist submitted a sworn declaration that one veneer was knocked out and the other was damaged. Experts who have analyzed the photos believe the injury is inconsistent with being punched in the mouth since there is no soft tissue damage--and it may have been self-inflicted.

“There is "no evidence of external or internal damage," a law enforcement source [said] "Sources also [said that the ex] tried to extort Mel out of more than $10 million in return for keeping the tapes of his explosive, racist rant private, and there are emails to prove it.”

We hate to say “I told you so” but we will anyway. BTW, before you judge Mel, please keep in mind that not only did he leave his wife for this--scam artist --he paid his first wife hundreds of millions of dollars in the divorce.

Shout Out

My blog is getting a few visits from my work colleagues. This means I'll have to stop writing rude things about them here. Darn. The dream had to end some time.

I've noticed that some blog readers who don't see a lot of me in real life don't know where I work. This is because I have deliberately not told anyone. It could be because I work for the Government. But that would be too obvious. Because everyone knows that if you do something secret you work for the government.

No, I work for a Christian ministry organisation, which is a front for a government organisation, which is in itself a front for the R&D division of a dummy corporation set up by a charity run by wolves. Real wolves, that live the forest, hunt in packs, and organise to get tax-exempt status for their charitable works, those kind of wolves.

Of course I pretend I don't mention what organisation I work for just in case I say something that the people in the marketing division don't like ("Hello Marketing Division!"). Like for instance if I said that at work we regularly door knock the area and abuse people pretending to be from another religion, hoping people will join our religion because the other religion we were pretending to be was so horrible to them. We don't do that, but that might be the kind of thing that the marketing department would not like me saying on the internet if it was, in fact, true and I actually worked for an organisation which not just a front, for a front, for a dummy corporation of a K9ish charity. Really I'm just terrified of being hunted down and killed by a pack of wolves.

Anyway, I just wanted to say "Hello" to all my work mates and friends in the animal kingdom.

Comedy and Preaching

I feel like Lesley's comment was such a good and challenging comment, that it needs a post of it's own. Down below she wrote:

I wonder why comedy in preaching seems so important for many preachers? Let me be clear - this is a general statement to anyone who preaches, not Tom in particular. The sermons I remember best are those where I'm challenged to change. Not quite on the scale of fire and brimstone, but challenged nonetheless. Yes, a well-placed laugh can be effective, but jokes can also make for lazy, self-conscious preaching. I hunger for intelligent, thought provoking sermons. Raise the bar, I say. How do you want to be remembered? As a funny preacher? Or something more than that? Here's a challenge: Can you can deliver a sermon without cracking a joke? ... Let the flaming begin.

I must say this is something that I've thought about a lot. Obviously if you've heard me preach, or read my blog, you'll know that comedy is an important part of my preaching. I think there are quite a few reasons for having jokes in a sermon but I certainly don't think they're vital. You can preach an excellent sermon without one joke, Piper and Stott are both key examples of this. And you can preach a useless sermon which is plenty funny. I won't give you an example of that.

Pilavachi*, in a seminar, once said that there are three types of people giving extended monologues in secular society these days, politicians, lecturers and stand-up comics. Of those, stand-up comics seem to be the once who people are most likely to listen to.

While obviously that's a generalisation I think there is a lot of truth to the statement. The best stand-up comics are making a serious comment on society in a way that is more likely to be heard. Politicians should be the ones doing it, but we're all so jaded with their self-serving, narrowly focused rhetoric we've stopped listening long ago. It takes someone with truly great oratory skills, like Obama, to make people sit up and actually want to listen.

Comics, on the other hand, can demolish pretences and prejudice just by highlighting the absurdity of people's stupid behaviour and ideas. Good comics will make you laugh and make you pay attention to the world at the same time. Driscoll once said that the best lesson he ever got on preaching was going to see Chris Rock do stand up.

Now as far as preaching goes, I feel like comedy serves many different purposes.

Positively, and in it's most basic form, comedy relaxes and focuses a congregation. A few jokes early on can help people feel pleased to be listening to the sermon. A joke or two during some of the more theological bits of a sermon will keep people focused when they might be tempted to drift off.

Another useful tool of comedy in preaching is that you can use it to highlight sin without people getting defensive. In my experience, highlighting your own sin with a self-deprecating story frees people up to laugh at you, identify with you, and realise that they too are sinful the the same way. Often we laugh because it rings true.

Also in the context of self-deprecation, is when you use humorous stories about yourself to "un-sanctify" the preacher. Preachers can seem like spiritual giants when they preach. Sometimes this is because they use the sermon to highlight their spiritual strength or to give the impression of spiritual maturity. Or because, through no fault of their own, the preacher preaches well about spiritual matters and gives the impression they are accomplished in everything they're encouraging their congregation to do.

A self-deprecating story can go a long way in putting the preacher on the level of the listener, and hopefully, by contrast, show Christ to be the hero of the sermon.

Thirdly, humour will help hard truths go down easier. As Mary Poppins said "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down." Biblical preaching necessarily touches on some of the most painful parts of human existence. To tell people that they are sinners, deserving of God's judgement, is not an easy thing to do, and to be told you are an object of God's wrath, is not a nice thing to hear. A little humour, without diminishing the gravity of the truth can make things a little easier to hear, and give people a bit more good-will so they are more likely to listen.

Mostly I just use humour because it helps make listening to sermons a more enjoyable experience. While I sincerely believe that the greatest enjoyment in preaching is not in laughing but in seeing the beauty of Jesus, and the most valuable moments of preaching are not when people smile, but when their heart is broken by God convicting them, I do not think the process loses value or meaning if people are amused along the way.

However this is not to say that humour isn't used for unhelpful reasons either.

Negatively I use jokes to help with my insecurity about a message. I might feel like a sermon or talk isn't very good, so I'll add jokes to cover up the perceived lack of content or weight. Obviously this is a bad use of humour. It elevates my insecurity over my trust in God's word to be powerful, relevant and life-giving beyond the skills of the preacher. Plus it shows my laziness. It is an inadequate response to a deficient message. The answer is not to make more jokes, but to work harder to find God's voice for his people in the message he has given me to preach.

Also I use humour because it makes me feel good about myself. However high myself esteem is, it can always get higher. To have 100 people laughing at one of your jokes feel pretty good. And so the temptation is to make more jokes, so that more people laugh, more people think you're funny and you feel better about yourself. Comedy feeds my pride.

That's not to say that a sermon devoid of jokes cannot feed a preacher's pride too. The preacher will always be wrestling with pride and insecurity when they preach. They will always go to the pulpit with mixed motives. I think the task of any preacher is not to remove anything in a sermon which might make the preacher look good, or feel good about themselves, but to constantly seek the Holy Spirit to change their heart so that they recognise their own sin, and that it is only God's graciousness that they are gifted with any skills to preach at all. I think it's also a matter of praying that God might give you new desires, not to glorify yourself but to glorify him through your words.


Obviously, comedy is only a tool in preaching. It has its strengths and its weaknesses. The strengths are seen in funny preaching that is enjoyable, dynamic, insightful and God glorifying. The dangers of making jokes are that people will be more interested in having a laugh than in hearing God's word, and the preacher will be more interested in looking good, then showing how good God looks. When it comes down to it, I feel like the preacher should use the tools available to them as best they can. If you're good at being funny, then use it, for God's glory, to help preach his word. If you're not funny, don't be, because it makes everyone awkward and doesn't serve God, you or your congregation at all.

I try and use comedy only to help me preach. I try hard not to trivialise God, God's word or God's work. I try hard to help the congregation pay attention as much as possible so that they might be listening to God's truth. I know I've got it wrong in the past, and I will again. But I am sure that for me, at this time, the ability to make jokes is a gift God has given me to use, and I need to put it to service for him.

As far as Lesley's challenge to preach without making any jokes, I did it once. You can read about it and listen to it here. I might do it again. I probably will at some stage. If I do I'll let you know how it goes.

Well, that's my opinion on comedy in preaching. I know there's a good bunch of you out there who are both preachers and regular preaching listeners, what are your thoughts?

*Speaking of Pilavachi, this is one of his funniest sermons, it also serves as a great example of preaching that is both funny and important. It takes a little while to get started, but it's a good one none the less.

ARE THE MEL GIBSON TAPES ADMISSIBLE IN COURT?

The lovely couple

Legal Analysis

By Blogonaut


One cannot turn on the television without being bombarded with outtakes from audio recordings of Mel Gibson’s ex calmly pushing his buttons as she secretly records his diatribes. What can we say, the bitch is evil, and he is nuts.

But are the tapes admissible in court?

At least one other blog has tried to definitively answer that question and failed miserably. But since we have our own “legal expert” (moi), before you finish reading this post you will know the answer.

The stakes are high for what’s-her-name, the Russian that Gibson now calls the “Goldigger”, because if there is no applicable statutory exception, each time Gibson’s money loving ex-GF recorded the actor that Hollywood loves to hate, she committed a violation of California Penal Code Section 632—which is punishable by a jail term of 12 months OR 16 months, two years, or three years in state prison (that’s for each recording).

So let’s get to the exceptions.

Yes, there are several very specific and very limited exceptions to the criminal statute, that are limited by the conjunctive requirements of intent, subject matter, and scope:

The recording must be made for the purpose of gathering evidence that the person reasonably believes relates to the commission of the crimes of:

1. Extortion;

2. Kidnapping;

3. Bribery;

4. Any crime involving violence against the person;

5. Harassing telephone calls.

There are two categories that are arguably applicable.

The first is #4—any crime involving violence against the person.

But remember, the Implanted One must not only actually believe that the scope of the recorded conversation is limited to evidence that Mel Gibson hit her, that belief must be reasonable. So next time that you visit Radar.com to give a listen to Ms. Boobs calmly baiting Mad Mel into a rage ask yourself—is this conversation reasonably related to incidents wherein the most hated man in Hollywood hit the Russian temptress? Or is she just pushing Mel’s buttons in aid of getting him to yell, scream, and use abusive language so she can damage the actor-producer in the tabloid media?

We think it is quite obviously the later.

But wait; there is another potentially applicable exception: #5—gathering evidence of harassing phone calls.

If the Implanted One can establish a prior pattern of Mad Mel calling her residence at all hours of the night and day making harassing phone calls, then all recordings that she made over the phone after that harassment commenced are fair game.

Additionally, one must ask, was the required purpose of the recordings--to gather evidence of on of the specified crimes--the purpose for which the recordings were made? Remember, in addition to the other requirements, the purpose of the recordings must be to gather evidence of one of the enumerated crimes--and no other.

Of course, the best evidence of Miss Boob’s intent is: What subsequent use did she make of the tapes?

Did she immediately turn the tapes over to law enforcement to aid in a prosecution for domestic battery and/or harassing phone calls?

Or did she instead give the recordings to a tabloid publication in aid of damaging what is left of Mad Mel’s reputation?

We all know the answer to that question, don’t we. The answer is clear even if you hate Mel Gibson.

The Implanted One did not give the tapes to police at all, she sent the tapes to Radar on-line to embarrass the actor and to cause as much damage to him in the public eye as possible.

Therefore, in our opinion, no exception applies, our Russian Beauty does not pass go, and she is guilty of multiple violations of Penal Code Section 632.

In addition, by the express terms of Penal Code Section 632, the tapes are not admissible in any prosecution against the actor for domestic violence (not that the tapes would be necessary to prove that all his ex wants for Christmas is two front teeth—and why).

The only question is will the Los Angeles District Attorney have the guts, in an election year when he is running for California Attorney General, to charge a domestic violence victim with illegally taping her abuser? Because the Implanted One would bear the burden of proving in any Section 632 prosecution that her intent was evidence gathering as specified, and that she cannot do--no way.

In our opinion both parties could use some time in jail. And then we can all go back to watching the BP underwater webcam.

Bushwick Bill of Geto Boys facing Deportation?

Another Jamaican on his way home! It seems like the U.S. is cleaning up shop because ever since Buju it's like they been after Jamaica for all kinds of reasons. I thought Bushwick Bill turned his life around? I mean the man just put out an gospel album The Testimony of Redemption in 2009. Hum Iguess as always something out of the blue popped up or he secretly did something out of the blue! We will keep you posted.

Well according to hiphopwired: Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys is facing deportation after the rapper was seized by U.S. immigration officials. The rapper appeared in Atlanta Immigration Court Thursday for a deportation hearing and could be sent back to his homeland of Jamaica.

Although the exact charges that prompted the deportation hearing are still unknown, news of his possible deportation hit the net in June after the emcee missed a dedication to Rap-A-Lot Records founder James Prince at the VH1 Hip-Hop
