U R GAY! (Not That There's Anything Wrong With That.)

 Anyone so interested in his (gay/bi) roommate having sex with another man that he would install a camera to watch the act must himself be gay.
"Yay"?
Really?
The dude is thrilled to get to watch a man have sex with another man?
 Some may say that the students who recorded and posted the video were just curious.
Ummm...
Maybe Molly Wei was curious.
Honestly, if I see two women having sex - I'm stopping to look.
I'd be curious.

I went to an extremely religious college.
As a prank, we would take bags of frogs we'd find and fill the rooms of those who lived in our dorm.
One evening, as we were dumping bags full of frogs into the rooms of our friends, we heard moaning and groaning.
We were curious to see what all the commotion was about so we looked into the window of the adjacent dorm room.
As we noticed one guy blowing another guy, we gasped... a little too loudly.
But we didn't stay and watch - we jumped to the ground below and ran until we could find a safe place to confirm that we had seen what we had thought we saw.
As we gathered ourselves, a big assed Samoan dude ran up to us to ask if we had seen someone jump from the balcony above.
I had stopped to talk to talk to a a couple of girls who were parked in front of the dorms and told them to act as though they were dropping me off after some event.
When I told the guy that I had just arrived and had no idea what he was talking about, he turned to find those who could ruin his reputation.
Straight guys don't stay to watch - straight guys turn away.
But Dharun Ravi is just gay.
Maybe he was hoping to entice other guys into participating in his personal enjoyment of watching two guys getting it on.
Maybe he was hoping to shine a light on Tyler's sexual preference so that others would not notice that his own were questionable.
If your reaction to watching two gays having sex is "Yay" - chances are, YOU'RE GAY!

Botox To Go!

Imagine being able to order your Botox injection on your lunch break! New Botox boutiques are already thriving in cities like N.Y.C and L.A. for beauty minded people on-the-go!  Patients seem to enjoy their hassle free Botox quick fix because it is so fast, easy and convenient.   They can stop in during lunch break or after work to de-wrinkle their worries away! However, the question is…”Is this putting the patients safety at risk?” 

Last week the first walk-in Botox Boutiqe, Luxxery Express, was launched in D.C with celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Hakki behind it all!  These new cosmetic walk-in clinics allow you to get your Botox and filler fix with no appointment necessary! 

With no surprise, these cosmetic clinics are raising some critics eyebrows...no pun intended!  Many core practitioners believe Botox boutiques will negatively impact the profession because of the lower quality of care for patients.  Instead of safety being a priority, getting patients in, out and on their way appears to be the main concern.

Though Luxxery Express claims that board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Hakki will be administering all of the injections, don’t expect to receive that same expertise at many of the other walk-in spas. 

There is not doubt that Botox can work wonders when it is properly administered. However, it is important not to under estimate the need for a highly trained professional who understands the anatomy, exactly how the treatment works and where the proper injection sites are located. 

Due to the popular demand of Botox, many untrained providers are performing injections, therefore its important for the patient to do choose their injector wisely!  After all, the goal is to look better and not worse, right?

Weak and Dumb


Why is it that a weak person will exercise to become stronger -
but a dumb person will rarely study to become smarter?

Fraud and Deceit in Ads for Orlando Plastic Surgery- an Update

I am very pleased to inform our readers of an article recently published in Plastic Surgery News. Plastic Surgery News is the monthly news publication of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

The piece, called "Over-the-Top Cosmetic Surgery Ads, Web Pages Draw Ethics Complaints" drives home many of the points I have been attempting to draw attention to on this site and others...:

  • Extreme claims ("best plastic surgeon", "Orlando's Premier Aesthetics Provider") irresponsibly endanger the public and harm a surgeon's reputation in the long run
  • These extreme claims are violations of the Society's Code of Ethics
  • According to the ASPS, non-plastic surgeons (e.g the gynecologists, family practitioners, ER doctors, and eye doctors attempting plastic surgery procedures) are much more prone to making irresponsible claims in their advertising because they are not held to the high ethical standard those of us Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery are, and because as they are not Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, I guess they must feel they have to say something to distinguish themselves...
  • Saying that someone else was responsible for an ad making irresponsible or unethical claims and that this was done without the knowledge of the doctor is like saying "the dog ate my homework". 
    • Regular readers will remember this was an issue after my original post, in which I drew attention to the fact that Elase Med Spas was running ads suggesting that the photos of the outstanding (and in my opinion unusually positive)outcomes shown were obtained after treatments at Elase Med Spas. 
    • The reality was that most of the photos shown were from the marketing materials used by the sales representatives of the machines in question- and the procedures were NOT performed by Elase's doctors. 
    • One of the doctor's at Elase called me after the post, to complain that he had no knowledge of the ad and that the businessman who owns Elase was solely responsible- and so he (the surgeon) did not feel responsible for its deceptive content...
    • The American Society of Plastic Surgeons does not agree- saying, "You (the plastic surgeon) and only you are responsible for your advertising".
  • This needs to be the case- otherwise there would be no limit to the ethical rule breaking irresponsible practitioners engaged in. 
  • I could just start a business, with a friend or family member at the helm, let them make whatever outlandish or irresponsible claims they wanted about my services in order to attract patients, and then defend myself by saying that the ads were placed without my knowledge and therefore I did not violate my Code of Ethics to my Society.
I could not be happier that The Florida Board of Medicine and The American Society of Plastic Surgeons are beginning to take these problems more seriously. I think that only by bringing these issues to the public's attention (and possibly to the attention of legislators) will the rate of public injury and fatality decline.

Here's the bottom line:
  • Only surgeons certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery can claim the education and intensive training we receive over a minimum of 6 years. 
  • There is no short cut to this training and experience... the idea that a few days, weeks, or even months of training in liposuction makes you able to deliver the same level of safety or quality as an American Board of Plastic Surgery certified surgeon is impossible.
  • It is NOT enough to ask "are you board certified?"- you must ask which board certified them to know if their plastic surgery training was legitimate.
  • ALL plastic surgery is REAL surgery, with REAL RISKS. Just because there is an eye doctor offering to do liposuction on you (and believe me, the machine he is using doesn't matter) in his office under local anesthesia doesn't mean it is in your best interests.
  • Remember- ALWAYS ASK: "do you have permission to do this operation in a local hospital?"- and then verify with the hospital's credentials office. If your doctor does not have permission to do the procedure they are suggesting for you in a hospital, go elsewhere.
  • If you have seen a doctor who engages in these shady tactics to lure patients into their practice, ask yourself what this behavior says about them... and realize that all surgery (including lipopsuction) involves a series of decisions.... Do you think someone who engages in this kind of behavior to attract patients can be trusted with your safety and happiness? I don't.

Another One Bites The Dust

 It seems that we are becoming so lazy that we can't even drive a few blocks to pick up and drop off a movie.
When Blockbuster first started, no one thought it was a concept which could generate profits.
But with the advent of Net-Flix, On-Demand and streaming video - why should we drive and pay late fees when we don't have to?
 The New York Times recently announced that they will cease publication of their newspaper in a printed format in the next few years.
As other magazines and newspapers lose market share to online alternatives - what is the next best option for those wishing to reach a broad audience?
The USA Today uses a Fed-Ex-type business model.
All of it's news is shipped to one source and then redistributed to each market across the country.
Maybe this is what Hearst and the The New York Times Company should do.
Maybe they should publish one national edition with space for local stories to be written by local writers in each market being served.
The Times and Hearst would be the national paper with each local affiliate producing it's own local content.
This would reduce costs while increasing local relevance.
Unless old media adapts to the competition from the new media it may become obsolete media.

The Wrong Larry

 So the Obama administration takes another hit with the loss of Larry Summers - so what?
All he did was to ensure that he still had a job to go to after he left his post at the White House.
Without the help from the stimulus package, what were those on Wall Street to do - Work?
The Larry to be most feared is not Summers at all, it is BlackRock's Larry Fink.

T - Cells

 There has to be a balance in all environments.
While some argue that all we need is numbers to ensure equality - I say that we only need to be the dominant minority.
That we need to act in the same manner as T-Cells fighting a virus.
 Since it's not so much about numbers as it is power and influence - think of it as the re-colonization of the Americas by a Dominant Minority.
Some see this as being racist - the only difference being which group becomes the oppressor.
But this is not the case.
Think of the Nubian Pharaoh Piye and his role in re-establishing traditional Egyptian values in a country that became overrun by outsiders whose only concern was their own personal interests.
If one plans to make changes on a national level - maybe he should model his planned growth on the way T-Cells, memes or temes naturally spread.

It's Not The Numbers

 If all that was needed to ensure racial equality was a large enough minority population - why not just marry someone white (or Black) and gave kids until almost everyone was one shade of Black or another.
The goal should not be to have a "New Black Mecca".
The goal should be to become the another example of the Dominant Minority.
(Sans the oppresson of those who came before us.)

Are We There Yet?

Are we Blacks to the point where we can call a spade a spade?
Can we criticize our own failed leadership - or must we protect those who have failed under the veil of racism?
Can we now hold ourselves to the standards to which we would hold others - or do we continue to lower the standards and make excuses because someone may happen to be Black?
Do we continue to elect officials because they are Black - or do we elect officials because they will serve us well?
If we've already lost hope in other institutions - is the lost hope in religious leadership the last straw?
Can we now just choose the best person instead of the best financed Black person?
Are we there yet?

Paedophilia

http://mwillett.org/mind/paedophilia.htm
I guess it depends on which state or country those such as R.Kelly, Catholic priests or Eddie Long choose to engage in their activities.

Effete




I like clothes. - I've even been known to wear some avant-garde outfits.
But when did being an effete male become that to which one should aspire.

My Bad

 People always say (myself included) that today's rap artists are simple and banal.
That rap doesn't have the same power that it once had.
That old school rap actually talked about something important.
But the thing that I often forget is that rap music was not always pop music.
P.E. or the Wu-Tang Clan never had a number one single - they were the outsiders.
The rap that actually crossed over was just as simple as today's pop.

It's not that today's rap sucks - it's only that much of today's rap is really just pop.
Look back twenty years at the top songs of 1990;
http://top40.about.com/od/top10lists/tp/1990top10.htm
How many songs would you say are classic or socially important.
It's not so much that rap went pop, it's only that pop went rap.

Is Gay Sex Gay

 The Bible says that some men are born eunuchs, does this imply that some men are born gay?
Chimerism, Mosaicism and Hermaphroditism are all scientifically recognized states - do these play a part in ones sexual identity or preference?
Can a gay man who abstains from sex still be gay?
Sure, Eddie Long is purported to have had sex with underage boys - wouldn't this just make him a pedophile who is also gay?
 Some from an older generation believed that boys who were babied or raised mostly by women would begin to show traits more common among women.
But are these traits learned and unlearned - like learning to stand up to pee instead of following the lead of mothers who sit?
Are prisoners really gay - or are they just acting on natural impulses with the next best available option?

 I don't know whether RuPual is gay - all I know is that he dresses like a woman.
Does dressing like a woman make one gay?
Dwight is every gay stereotype made true.
Is this the only gay man which we can come to a consensus on as far as "What is Gay"?

RBW/SBW

I think Roshumba Williams is a good example of a"Real Black Woman".
Sure, she may color or perm her hair.
(But she is not ashamed of wearing her hair in it's natural style either.)
Her name may even be considered 'ghetto'.
(But she defines her being, not her name.)
She may be too dark for some.
(But why should she be ashamed of her real color?)
She may work in an industry which promotes style and image.
(But I have yet to see her in blue or green contacts.)
At six feet tall - she may even be considered to be too tall for some men.
(But she is not masculine.)
On another site, the issue of 'white priveledge' came up.
It centered around a disagreement between two white women, each of whom is dating a Black man, at a popular Black site.
(Hint; Just because you may occasionally have someone Black in you - that doesn't mean that you automatically have some Black in you.)
It was a real 'Battle of the Beckies'.
As the least attractive of the two (Becky2) began to tell the other Becky (Becky1) that B1 was wrong for assuming that she (B1) was special because she was white - I questioned B2 about what was wrong with thinking this way.
I explained that I think that I'm special because I am Black - why shouldn't a white person feel that she is special because she is white?
Becky2 said that having a sense of pride in ones heritage was different than feeling special because of ones race.
But why did Becky2 assume that I was just saying this in an effort to make myself feel good?
Why did Becky2 equate this sentiment with having to convince myself of something which was not true?
Why is having pride in being a minority different than having pride in oneself if they are white?
Is it the same thing as a mother telling her homely daughter, "They just don't like you because they are jealous'?
Is it seen (even by many Black people) as just a silly self-affirmation practiced by those with little self esteem?

In my previous post, I mentioned that I have a hard time finding a "Real Black Woman".
(And this is partially true.)
As I sometimes run night clubs, I meet a lot of ghetto assed hood rats who don't understand why I duck when they try to throw some punani my way.
"Oh, you can't handle a RBW/SBW.", is the most common reply to my very polite, "No, thank you.".
A 'real' Black woman being said by someone with green contacts, a red weave and Mac make up the shade of which should be on the face of Gweneth Paltrow?
A 'real' Black woman who is afraid of other Black people?
A 'real' Black woman who puts her desires above the needs of her family and community?
A 'real' Black woman who bought into all of the current Western philosophies instead of remembering the truths taught by our elders?
A 'real' Black woman who understands that money is not the goal, that it is only a tool to get that which is really important.
A 'real' Black woman who is so heavily invested in a non-Black culture that her only compliant is that she is not recognized as equal in a culture created to suppress her?

So yes, I am looking for a woman who understands that she is special because is Black - not in spite of it.
Why should I value someone who really doesn't even really value herself?

STFU!

 "Black men are afraid of a real/strong Black woman", is a common complaint heard from many Black women today?
Really?
How would we know anymore?
Is you hair really your hair?
 Are your eyes really your eyes?
 Is that the real color of your skin?
Are you out of shape and do you act and dress like a $2.00 ho?
What about you lets us know that you are a real/strong Black woman?
