Baby Got Back In Walmart

Okay this is hilarious. I do stuff like this now. Oh my God I'm going to do this with one of my friends. LOL!

Bonjour bonjour se samedei encore... Ouais se parfait! So it is the weekend, just got my hair cut, been paid, going to get a new fit... And I won't have Bumpalump until tomorrow. I suppose that's the only drag for today. still it's okay I can go shopping easier without having to care for the baby, not that I mind in the least but well those with little people I'm sure can understand. It is a labor of love emphasis on the labor. All is well and bright and I am loving life.

I suppose today I'm just kinda in a real chill mood, and things seem to be going well. Trumph has gigs all day so... I dunno this will be a short post because I am hungry but let's see. So yesterday at work I watched Vacancy. Has anyone seen this movie? Mon Dieu what a twisted and horrifying film. I'm kinda cool on rundown motels now. I told Trumph from now on we stay in Hotels or people's houses. None of this stayin on the wayside business.

Now of course I loved the movie because htye were not extremely stupid white people however I could not have made myself comfortable in place that had roaches and bathroom like that motel had. Trumph and I would've bounced on GP just for that. However the way the film built up after they saw those snuff films. I mean I was pretty shook. Not that it takes much though.

Tonight I'm going to do one of my BGM community things and go to a screening of Ski Trip which I've seen already but it's cool I like the movie. Maurice Jamal is a genius, and from what I've read and seen he seems like a really cool guy. I am in much anticipation of what B Boy Blues will be like.

You know something love is hard. I mean it is. After the honeymoon phase ends it becomes sometimes difficult but it is worth it. I feel so blessed even though I bitch about him at times to have my Trumph. He's so good to me and I can be such a tete de merde at times. He can be an ass himself but I dunno we balance each other out.

Trumph has taught me that life is still wonderful, that unconditional love is possible in a relationship, that acceptance is real in a family, I feel with Trumph that we matter because of how kind his family is and has been to me. His mother Mme Beatrice is an angel.

I dunno it's just like whoever you are that is reading this now stop... Reflect and then count your blessings. You are still here and you can and will overcome. God has enough love for you, there is love for you in this world and I'll bet if you really think about you don' have to go far to find it. No I'm not in a Pollyanna world, I'm just being real. I hurt, I cry, I've suffered, but I know love and I have it in my life and that is so beautiful.

So today to all of you I give love. Now give that to someone else. Be blessed and Bon Weeked mes zamis.

Si bonjour mes zamis, wass goin' on? Good things hopefully. I've looked over alot of your blogs and all of you seem to be doing well. Reddman is moving back to DC, Dat Brutha Right Dere is in Montreal and hopefully learning French... Trust me amour knowing French is a good thing, Mr Jones is predicting a pretty sad orison life for Michael Vick, Sean got back from Chitown and has great photos of it, I think Frank is now 25 and me... I am just being. Just enjoying what God has given me. You all look like you guys are having alot of fun though. I'm kinda jealous. Okay I am jealous but hey I still have the sea. That is actually clean. Kind of. Anyways...

This weekend I have Bumpalump which will be great because I need my baby fix. Yes Yes I am baby deprived. The apt just feels empty if he isn't there at least once a week. It has been 2 weeks and I miss the babykins so I can hardly wait to see him on Saturday.

Today work was difficult got like 3 payments and talked to some bitchy Queen name Clyde Phillips. I kept on telling my supervisor to call him Claudia. LOL! He started laughing. It was a way to vent. This Claudette was a fuckin kochanri you know, all clipped and shitty talking to me. I wonder if we were face to face how the conversation would've happened? Who knows but I'm sure it would've ended with his tongue cut out of his foul little mouth by yours trully. Whatever call me cruel and psychotic I don' like people who are mean for no reason.

Like just being bitchy or cruel just because to some random people who haven't done anything to you? How cowardly! How about you just cuss out the folkz that pissed you off or if you can't do what I do. When people make you mad and you have no power over them or you love them but you're still pissed at them imagine horrific, grisly things happening to them. Like sometimes when Trumph or one of my friends, or even my relatives make me made I just imagine them being torn to pieces by rabid cannibalistic feral ghouls and I feel better. (HAHAHA! AND you thought I was just smiling to myself cause I forgave ya!) However I try not to be mean to people cause that isn't kind and nice.

You know the age old adage what goes around comes around, what a man reaps he shall sow. Or in Kyonese, Karma is a bitch and then she has puppies! Teehee. So Clyde Phillips I hope you come home and find your man fucking someone else and you run out of your home blinded by tears into traffic which has been stopped because a rampaging Elephant is coming and then the elephant smashes you with it's feet but you don't die you just linger there all fucked up and crows feed on your flesh and then you die... See how I do, I feel better already. Oh whatever lit's better if I write it then do it.

Hey guys seriously though have a good day and be nice to people. Especially to me. Cause if not...Oh I dunno please my bark is worse than my bite. Seriously guys though ahve a good night and give love to all who need it.

Oh it is sooo good to vent.

Thundercats - The Tower of Traps: Pt 2

And here is part 2

Thundercats - The Tower of Traps: Pt 1

Here I finally found a Thundercats episode. All is well!!!

30 Days Of Night R-Rated Trailer And Exclusive Scene

Here is that new Vampire Movie I was talking about 30 Days of Night!! I can hardly wait until October!

unbelievable gore vioelence kurdish Girl Stoned to Death

Du’a Khalil Aswad honor murder, senseless, senseless.

So no responses to the Iraqi thing but one. Well I figured as much I probably wasn't telling anyone anything they didn't know but I just thought maybe some helpful analysis would do good. Whatevah.

Anyways life is okay. Work has been interesting, not bad at all just work. U know at first I thought I had nothing to say but now I do. Now this once again is a purely Northwestern phenom or at least I hope it is but these White Gay Men! Oh shit I'm so fucking tired of them sometimes.

Lately White men have been hitting on me or engaging me in discussions of race while drunk. Both aggravate the fuck of out of me. Firstly White Gay Men in the NW seem to touch and grope and sorry I don' know where da fuck ur hands have been don' fuckin touch me! Secondly, I dunno my pictures are on, you have all have an idea what I look like maybe. I know some men have their types and that's cool, it's not as if I don' have one but do I look like I am fetish. You know the only Chocolate surprise I want is in a Hostess wrapper. Still I get it all the time.

Like last night. Some White man approaches me talking about he wants to have an affair, and I'm so gorgeous and all this bullshit. So I don' turn him away per se, I mean shit I'm having a beer unwinding after work it's all good. He starts off with his Gay white boy thing and I'm like whatever, he tells me about his job in the mortgage business and how he has noticed Black People tend to be poorer than white people (no offense intended he repeats) and I just look and listen waiting for the moment when he offers to buy me a drink cause that was the only reason I was suffering his presence (hey if I'm tipsy or drunk I can deal with just about any annoyance), then he starts tyring to touch me, and all this. I dunno.

Lately the White Gay Men I meet are getting very racist, and very insulting and I am finding that I am loosing patience. I don' really like White People but I deal with them. I find White Homosexual Males to be one of the singularly most annoying people I have ever had to deal with, but I give 'em kind of a pass for liking dick but lately I am just sick of them.

I mean these men approach me and start talking about racism, make some ignorant ass comment, make allusions to my dick size, and sexual statements about chocolate and shit am I supposed to be like (in their minds at least) ohhh aren't you sweet.

It's times like this when I envy many of you my readers. This is not to say that you in the bigger cities do not have to deal with this, but I know when you do it is few and far in between...Well unless you're a Sno Queen and then well you get what you pay for don't ya?

Yeah I can't stand White Gay Men. They whine about shit, some of which is legitimate but really please. You've suffered? Try being me and men that look like me and come again? I mean I often feel so out of touch with the greater White Gay Community in Seattle cause that isn't me, and mine. Not my Gay or Bi friends at least. It just ain't. We have other things more pressing than whether or not we can get married. I'll take a civil union.

Capitol Hill is great but I care more about the CD and South Seattle where people that look like me live. I know I know I'm preaching to the choir. I suppose I just need to vent a bit because unlike in the South or East Coast or even many parts of the MidWest in the North West when you are Black and Gay you are such a minority. There is no escaping that fact and no way to even attempt to court hte illusion that you aren't. And that shit can be draining.

Well anyways I found some new movie trailers today. SO there is this great Graphic Novel series called 30 Days of Night about Vampires that attack this town in Alaska called Barrow. They are making it into a movie and I can't wait to see it. Y'all know I love my horror films. This one looks so good to that it made me forget the Zombies. So I got a trailer for you on that.

I also read something very disturbing today that bothered me about honor killings. Basically honor killings happen in many parts of the Islamic World mostly though it is an Arab/Kurdish/Persian/Afghan/Pakistani/Bengali Muslim phenomenon where a woman does something improper either in deed or by rumor with some man and ends up getting killed by male relatives or males in the employ of her family to restore the familial honor. This honor killing of young Yazidi Kurdish Woman was particularly painful to my spirit and mind blowing.
I know it happens still but to see the pictures...Aie aie.

Du’a Khalil Aswad (c. 1989 or 1990 – c. April 7, 2007) was a 17-year-old Iraqi Kurd of the Yazidi faith who was stoned to death in an honor killing.[1] It is believed that she was killed around April 7, 2007, but the incident did not come to light until video of the stoning, apparently recorded on a mobile phone, appeared on the Internet.

Motive
Some reports say Aswad was murdered for having converted to Islam to marry an Iraqi Sunni Muslim boy.[1][3] It is disputed whether or not she actually converted to Islam; some reports say the Sunni boyfriend has denied that she had.[1] Other sources instead indicate that Aswad was killed in punishment for being absent from her home one night.[4]

Asylum and return
Some news agencies reported that Aswad was being sheltered by a Yazidi tribal leader in Bashika in fear of her life until her family persuaded her that she had been forgiven and could return home.[4] Other reports indicate that she was instead given asylum by a local Muslim Sheikh.[2] It is not known whether the same members of her family that convinced her to return home were responsible for her death. It is not clear from the video whether she was ambushed while returning to her home, or if the mob stormed her home and dragged her into the street. Estimates of the number of attackers range from one thousand[2] to two thousand[5] men.

Stoning
Stills from the video of the stoningThe incident took place in Bashika, a town in Ninawa Governorate, and was filmed on mobile phones and widely distributed throughout the Internet.[6] Aswad was apparently stripped of her clothing down to her undergarments,[2] allegedly this symbolized that she had dishonored her family and religion.[2] During the stoning, which lasted approximately 30 minutes, Aswad can be seen in the video attempting to sit up and calling for help as the crowd taunts her and repeatedly throws a large chunk of rock or concrete on her head.[2] A man can then be heard declaring "Kill her!" in Arabic. Finally an unidentified man steps up and finishes her off with a rock to the face. After her death her body was apparently taken to the edge of the town and burned. Then she was buried with the remains of a dog, allegedly to demonstrate that she was worthless.[7] An autopsy revealed that Du’a Khalil Aswad died of a fractured skull and spine.[8]
It is believed Aswad's murder caused a reprisal attack in Mosul, in which 23 Yazidis were killed.[9] Both her murder and the reprisal were condemned by Amnesty International[4] and by the Kurdistan Regional Government which asked the federal government to investigate.[10] Authorities in northern Iraq have arrested four people in connection with the killing.
A protest of Aswad's killing in Arbil attracted hundreds of Iraqi citizens who called for an end to honor killings.

She was from her pitures a lovely girl and it was horrific to watch. I'm deciding to post this because sometimes we need to see inhumanity. It helps us to be less complacent. I have no doubt in regards to this incident though that this wouldn't have happened if our government took a greater interest in the lives of Iraqi People instead of trying to steal their oil while they murder each other due to in part to our meddling... At any rate here is some more information I suppose on Iraq anyways in spite of my not wanting to talk about Iraq today. I wonder has the situation truly improved by our presence. I think not. Women in Iraq have less rights today then they ever did. It is ironic that under Saddam and the Baath Party Iraqi Women had the most comprehensive rights package of women anywhere in the Middle East except Israel. Now we have honor killings.

Well I hope I gave you guys something to think about. Be blessed, show love and have a good night. I will talk about happier things in the coming days. I promise. PAIX!!!

Bien sak passe des hommes! How's everyone doing today? Most well I hope. This has been a long week, I worked today which is never fun working on a weekend, it's about as bad to me as working on a holiday like Thanksgiving or Noel. But it's over and all went okay for that period. Now it's me time.

So I have been giving this a bit of thought and I have decided that since I know now that i have a readership that for the next couple of posts I would talk a little bit about the country of Iraq. I think it's an important issue. I won't like give a dissertation but I can perhaps clear up some questions alot of people have about Iraq and it's people. So today we will talk a little bit about Iraq's demo graphical history and why we have the Shia, Sunni, and Kurd thing going on. It won't be too indepth and y'all just might learn something so open your minds and learn.

Q: Kyon wassup with this whole Sunni Shia thing? Why are they killing each over this? What's the real deal?

A: The Sunnis and Shia are 2 of the 3 denominations (for lack of better word) of the Islamic faith, with the Shia world wide being the minority. Most Muslims world over are Sunni. The other denomination in Islam by the way is Sufism. Shias adhere to the teachings of Muhammad and the religious guidance of his family (who are referred to as the Ahl al-Bayt) or his descendants known as Shi'a Imams. Muhammad's bloodline continues only through his beloved daughter Fatima Zahra and cousin Ali which alongside the Muhammad's grandsons are the Ahl al-Bayt. Thus, Shi'as consider Muhammad's descendants as the true source of guidance while considering the first three ruling Sunni caliphs a historic occurrence and not something attached to faith.
Sunnis on the other hand revere the Caliphs as inspired by the Prophet and Allah not a historical occurence. Now Iraq has always had a Shia presence because of the country's proximity to Iran which was dominated by the Safavids, a Persian Shite Dynasty/Caliphate. However up until the destruction of Baghdad in 1258 by Mongols the country was dominated by Sunnis.
Jump forward to Saddam's time. Saddam knowng that Shi'ites were the majority of the population and a real threat to Baa'th Sunni domination after the destruction of the Iraqi monarchy made sure he repressed the Shia. It was as brutal and as evil as was everything else about Saddam's reign over Iraq. When we entered the picture we had no idea or conception of the suffering of the Shia under the Sunnis, nor do we evr really think that hey maybe the Shia will use this time to settle the score with the Sunnis. Which they did, which our troops were not half as active to attempt to prevent. Now the violence has spilled out of control and for better or worse Iraqis Arab areas have split in a violent cataclysm of faith cleansing which by the way is not the really the will of the majority of Iraqis but a small hell bent group that wants power over the others.

Contrary to popular belief while Sunnis and Shi'ites have fought each other in the Islamic world that fighting has not been going on forever nor have there not been times when the 2 groups peacefully coexisted not only in Iraq but all over the Islamic world. Okay if you have any more specific questions ask them in your comments because this is a subject I am just skimming like everything else in this post.

Q2: What about the Kurds?
A: The Kurds are a Caucasian Muslim people that live in Northern Iraq and Iran as well as eastern Turkey. Basically after world war I the Kurds were promised their own nation, Kurdistan which compromises pieces of these 3 countries. They never got it. In all three countries they have had Independence movements that have been brutally and viciously repressed. Kurds and Arabs do not get along all that well in Iraq and the Kurds were constantly on Saddam's shit list. Now however they have much of Northern Iraq which they are trying to actually (all other things aside lets just be real) a little Kurdistan which they can definitely do with the oil rich north of Iraq. However the terrorists aren't having it and now the Kurdish north is experiencing violence on an unprecedented scale. For the record Kurds are Sunnis. It is interesting to me that with all the talk about Iran one fact has not been thought out by the US. Iran does have a stake in Iraq. If the Kurds do establish an independent state many Iranians believe that Iranian Kurds will attempt to join their regions of Iran with Iraq. As for the Turks they've basically said that will happen and as a result they are attempting to put troops in the North of Iraq to stop that. Pray they don't cause this war is really just 2 steps away from getting allot more ugly and horrific. For more questions on the Kurds post them to your comments.

Aiight enough for today. I didn't give you a dissertation but you understand little more now. PAIX!!

Bonjour vas tous!
I'm feeling in a silly somewhat juvenile mood today, which is like allot actually but anyways here is a very special round of:

It's Da Questions Dawg Da Questions

1. Does your man know that you're cheating on him, or is he just gonna be the last to find after out after I tell him that we all know u aint faithful?

2. Do you ever wonder if anyone on Hell's Kitchen has ever tried to beat Chef Ramsey's ass after he smooth cussed them out on national television?

3. Speaking of Hell's Kitchen does anyone know what Eddie's gender was? No for real tell me 'cause I have no fucking clue.

4. Do you happen to catch those Valtrex commercials on the tele and think to yourself as the one person says:
"I have genital herpes!" with a big as smile, and his or her partner lovingly strokes their hand and chimes:
"And I don't!" Well I mean do you ever just think to yourself, that scenario can't be reality? No one would stay with someone willingly who gets warts on their junk. Or would they?

5. Speaking of genital herpes, I dunno, if you noticed a bunch of bumps or warts on some one's dick/cooch/asshole or huge sores on their mouth before you got ready to get down with them wouldn't ya just stop for a minute and be like, uhm... No?

6. Speaking of drugs don't some of the after effects to some of these medications seem worse than the affliction they cure? Like there was one for anxiety I saw on the tele recently. It was all, warning side effects may include, nausea, vomiting, uncontrollable flatulence, hot flashes, erectile dysfunction, incontinence (meaning you can shit yourself at any moment unbeknowst to you) and explosive bowel syndrome. I stop and paused and thought hmm I can have anxiety attacks or take this drug, loose my sex drive, be hot as the fires of hell, stink and occasionally when I'm out anywhere just crap my pants. I dunno about y'all but that would make me pretty fucking anxious....

7. Didn't Tammy Faye come thru all of the trials and tribulations so much better than Jim Baker even if she did die? And furthermore when Jim gets to the pearly gates and finds out that well he just isn't welcome can't you just see Tammy's face as she has the final laugh? I can, and it's hilarious.

8. Do you look at the war in Iraq and ever scream enough already what the hell are we doing over there?! Furthermore do you even know why were in Iraq anymore? Please tell me 'cause I don't? (Well I have ideas but with this administration who knows anymore)

9. Do you have a funny lady at church who always sings and praises the Lord with a voice and in some weird manner that only he loves and you laugh at her, but you feel bad' cause your at church so you just giggle under your breath but it makes your stomach hurt and so you just sit in church cover your face and cry silently in mirth and people say:

" Ohhh see that man/boi/chile/ whatevah there don' got the spirit of the lawd upon him." And so you feel worse but you don't really? No not really. (This might just have applied to me as a teenager, well I'm lying I still laugh sometimes.)

10. How many of you have farted in public and tried to (unsuccessfully or not) pass the stench of your crime on to someone else? I have lots of times. It's easy you just walk away quickly and then scrunch up your face and make a scene with everyone else who is smelling and conveniently point out the stinkiest person there. Unless it's you. Than your just stinky and we all know that you are so it's okay we still love you.

Okay maybe some of those questions were juvenile and silly but I had fun writing them and these questions deserved to be asked cause I can't be the only one that thinks them. I've read some of your blogs you ask ones just as strange just not so honestly.

Well remember laugh, love, dance, eat good food, and smell the flowers. Tell the ones you louve that you love them and show a lil love to the ones who may not deserve it. Have a great evening and be blessed mes zamis!! HEY HEY! No fighting *smile*

Kyon's Fantastic Wishlist that Will Never Come True but I Want it Anyways! (whew)

1. Superpowers: I want telepathy, telekinesis, and pyrokinesis. That way I can control you, make you hallucinate, read your mind and know what your up to and or about. And if don't like what's in your mind or you resist my telepathy I can move you away from my prescence and if you come back I can just set you on fire. Tee-hee!

2. To be an Elf: Yes I want to be a Black Elf. Flawless skin, immortality, magical powers, super bad assed beautiful features, a great voice, an inner light that shines. I mean I could seduce everyone and for those that would hate on me...Well no problem I could just watch them age and show up every so often at their birthdays by use of my magic and laugh at them.

3. To be ablwe to breath under water and have retractable fins: If I had these abilites than I could play with dolphins and that would be fun.

4. To have a brick inlaid PRADA bag with a matching flame and paint resistant chinchilla fur coat: That way I can walk around in my fur coat and be like fuck you I'm rich and if anyone gave me lip I would knock their teeth from their mouths with my bag.

5. To have all my enemies in my power: Nuff said.

6. To meet some of you guys: Well it could happen not so impossible but I would trade meeting you guys for super powers.

7. To control time: If could control time, well let's just say things would be different.

8. To become a bionic man: YES YES YES!!! Hell yeah build a faster, stronger Kyon!

9. To give birth: I mean pain aside, I'd have a baby, and plus do you know how freaking rich I would be if I gave birth?!

10. To slap George Bush: Nuff said.

If only these things would happen...Ahh bien paix mes zamis....

Aie quel un jour quel un jour quel un jour.... Si se Dimanche. I'm blogging. So I decided in keeping with staying on top of my recovery process to begin going to NA. For the record I hate NA meetings. I hated them in rehab and despise them still. Firstly to me they are boring because you have to listen to everyone talk. Now of course the good thing about that is you learn and keeps from your poison of choice. The bad part is you have to listen to their bellyaching and sobbin' in order to extract the pearls of wisdom from their narratives.

Secondly I knew that if this was a Gay NA Club which it is, I was more than likely going to be ogled which I don't mind but in my opinion White Gay Men can be so irritating when they do that. It's like seriously did you just drool when I walked in the room. No I mean their is a stream of saliva hanging off of your lip.

Thirdly I could be doing something else with my time. However those are not good enough reasons for me not to go especially if this is a group that can help me manage things which need to be managed. I've been complacent since I left rehab and that can be detrimental so I decided to be proactive and went. And you know it was not so bad. I got ogled, no one drooled even though all these White men kept grabbing and hugging me and I think someone felt me up during our circle prayer end of the group thing...But those things aside, the message for today was timely and I felt energized in my endeavors to not use drugs and be all ickified. 'Cause for real drugs, hard drugs make you ickified. So that was good.

Trumph and I went to Denny's this morning for breakfast and we will not go to that Denny's ever again. The service was horrid and can you believe that my Trumph left a tip. He always tips, I don't because I just don't, but he does. I try to talk him out of it but he still tips. This time however he should not have tipped them. Trumph is just a nice guy though, well not really he's moody but he wants everyone to think he is a real nice quiet guy. And he is when he wants to be. Everyone else thins I'm the psycho bitch, and I am...'Cause it's fun.

It's lovely today. The sun is shining and the air is warm. It feels like summer again and not that pseudo summer we have been having for the past couple of weeks. I feel in a good mood today as I knew I would eventually feel. it has been a queit weekend, hung with my friends, read a little and I'm going to the Gathering tonight at Kenny Joe's where I will eat, drink and be merry and talk about politics, the state of The People, the state of The People who are in the Life, and whatever else one of those queens will think of.

Well here's to augmenting your inner strength, salut a moi. Yay Kyon! I hope you guys are having and will have as good a weekend as I have. Be blessed and be loved. PAIX!!!

Self improvement: I need...

1. I need to make sure that I start taking better steps in my job development. I feel I have been so far in Seattle and I need to continue on that. I mean I don't know about u but I hate bin' broke.

2. I need to stop being so proud about certain things. I can't do everything by myself nor am I all powerful. Asking for help or using things to further myself in my goals of staying drug free, or advancing my career goals, or even just having a good shoulder to cry on at times is not weakness, it is common sense. I mean in the end it helps me.

3. Begin cultivating the good people I've met so far in Seattle into really good friends. No man nor woman is an island and I am no expectation.

4. An Xbox or Xbox 360 because video games keep me out of trouble. You're laughing but I assure you they do.

5. Mo' money, mo' money, mo' money.

6. Finally finish this novel.

7. Love more freely, laugh more deeply, and enjoy what I have instead of constantly focusing on the things I don't.

8. Call my Mama. No I really do.

9. Develop a super power of some sort. I dunno something that makes me telepathic than I would never have to work again.

10. Find a way to get my stubborn siblings to talk to each other again.

Damn I got my work cut out for me. Especially the super power part.
