These words will make you laugh, make you think, & maybe even help you with school work.
Its what I like to call a deviation from the "junk food for brains".
Sometimes people think they are "pulling a fast one" or "getting over" on you, or others. It aint that easy to trip up Dafonzarelli... AND U KNOW THISSSS.... MANNNN!!!!
Forest Whitaker is upset that his star studded film - which co-stars Lil' Wayne, Bow Wow, Isaiah Washington, Taraji P. Henson and Michael Gaston - went straight to video and didn't get a chance at the theaters.
What is the movie about?
Hurricane Season, is a film based on the inspirational story of a New Orleans high school basketball coach whose team of cast-off kids wins the state championship.
Well Ummm...
NOT ANOTHER BASKEBALL MOVIE! Ha Haaa, the plot is always the same. The team either use to suck or are misfits of some type who end up winning the big game. I'm just saying, the movie is probably fantastic but these movies don't do well unless they are overtly promoted i.e. Coach Carter. Plus Coach Carter played to their audience and threw in a solid soundtrack album to further help with promoting the movie, which was great by the way. Okay, actually I never watched Coach Carter because I'M TIRED OF BASKETBALL MOVIES!!
So like 2 weeks ago I seen this guy duck off the bus DURING A SNOW STORM after he exclaimed, "Awe Shit! I gotta go there go my baby momma I can let her see me!" That same guy was on the bus stop outside the office this evening & she ran up on that nigga sumthan smoooooootttttthhhh. He was on the corner waiting on the bus, talkin shit & she crept up behing him & commenced to WHOOPIN HIS ASS MR POST MAN!!!!
I don't know where that girl could have possibly been going at damn near 11 o'clock at night, during a snow storm, with a 3-4 month old baby; Or where the hell she was coming from for that matter. After old dude ducked off the bus that night, I know she felt obscure because everyone heard what he said, therefore all eyes where on her when she got on the bus, AND she had that "what the fuck is everyone looking at" look.
HA, how lucky am I to know the endeavors of these people and I don't even know a nickname.
It was real ugly out there. The cops came and blocked the entrance to the office and had a damn peer mediation, GTFOH!
Being born in America, starting with our earliest memories from childhood, we are told about Santa Claus - and if you are Christian this is paralleled with the birth of Christ. As we grow older its revealed that Santa is fictitious and, in theses days, most of us come to learn that Christ was not born during the winter months; But why is this?
Without having to get too involved in the pagan origins of Christmas (Google it), these are the basics...
The Pagan Origin
Its actually all starts on December 21 (in America), which is the 1st day of the winter solstice. Through modern day knowledge, we know that after this day the day began to get longer once again. The growing of daylight becomes most noticeable on December 25, thus the reason its on that specific date. This brings us to the "sun god" references. Its said that the sun is dying when the "fall equinox" begins because days are getting shorter. So the pagans celebrated the "birth" or "rebirth" of the sun once the winter solstice began.
This brings us to the story of Nimrod (here is one version). In short, Nimrod was the ruler of Ancient Babylon, which was founded around the 23rd century BC (history of Babylon). Nimrod married his own mother, Semiramis, who was also his sister. On a side note, this was after "The Great Flood", so maybe that was how they repopulated the earth... MAYBE. There are adverse accounts but when Nimrod died Semiramis claimed that she made a memorial for Nimrod and an evergreen tree sprang up from there, which is where the christmas tree comes from. Remember she was queen too, so when she claimed that the tree was a symbol of Nimrod returning "in spirit" and bringing the "gifts of life", it was not questioned.
There is a lot more to this story but I'm keeping it simple.
How the birth Christ come into play
So this pagan worship had been going on for many years before Christ was born. Between the Nimrod story and Christ being born, people who believed in only one God always regarded this as pagan worship. In fairness I will not get too religious but many reference to what we have come to know as Christmas, and the Nimrod/sun god/god of nature/god of life, are mentioned throughout the old testament of the bible (here is one reference).
Once again we know that Christ was not born during the winter months. It is said that maybe some 200-300 years after the death of Christ that the Pope (which would make it more Catholic than Christian, in my opinion) decided that the birth of Christ would be able to compete with the pagan worship or possibly forgo it up over time.
Again, there is more too it but I'm keeping it simple.
Modern Day Christmas/Rebirth of the Sun
Lets tie this together.
So the pagan worship/holiday was to celebrate the rebirth of the sun and/or the rebirth of nature in general. The evergreen/christmas tree is the symbol of the PAGAN holiday due to the fact that it is one of the few things in nature that does not "die" during the winter. People worship/worshiped this tree because they believe that if the put it in their houses that it would also invoke life for them. Remember that decorating the tree and leaving presents under the tree is done to make sure that the "sun god" comes and restores life to you. Also note that in order to put a present under a "christmas tree" you have to bow to the tree first.
The Christians/Roman Catholics thought, since it is not precisely known when Christ was born, that celebrating his birth at this time of year would counteract the pagan worship. The mindset being that when the pagans celebrate death we, believers in God, would celebrate life and vice-versa(which leads to Easter but I'll save that post for Easter). Basically, since we do not know the actual day, this will be the day we commemorate the birth of Christ.
Unbeknown to the Pope of the Roman Catholic church, of way back when, was the eventual mutation and mesh of BOTH celebrations that would occur. Santa Claus is a personification of Nimrod. Santa Claus is sang about and acclimated with god-like abilities. Santa Claus is not real, we know he is not, but through "tradition" we are suppose to deceive our children in to partaking in IDOL WORSHIP because they will get PRESENTS if they do. I mean, as a child i was told if I did not think Santa was real then "I don't get no gifts".
The name of the Christian holiday (CHRIST-mas) eventually became the veil that Nimrod has been able to be continuously WORSHIPED for THOUSANDS OF YEARS under.
Longer than we have been celebrating Christ!
The tree and the gifts are still the most identifiable attributes of Christ coming to the masses (the literary meaning of Christmas).
Christians receive the largest amount of blame for the pagan worship being perpetuated for so long. Instead of leaving all of the paganism out of Christmas they have incorporated the actual IDOL WORSHIP into the celebration of Christ. I'm all for a time of the year when we can show kindness to true friends & loved ones and what better time to do that than when we celebrate the birth of Christ!
