I AM...
I am whatever YOU think I am until YOU get to KNOW me. This is true for everyone else too, of course.. so don't make assumptions about anyone or pass judgment; ask questions. You might just make a new friend.

SPARTACUS: SEASON 3, WAR OF THE DAMNED, EPISODE 1: ENEMIES OF ROME
The first episode of the final season of “Spartacus” has only just
finished and already it feels like we’ve been through a war.
The show lost its original Spartacus (the charismatic Andy
Whitfield, who passed away of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma), enlisted another (Liam
McIntyre), and, all told, muscled its way through two seasons and a
mini-series. Now, finally, the really epic part of this epic begins.
The first episode, titled “Enemies of Rome,” baptizes us in blood
in the opening scenes. Spartacus and his men have broken through the lines of
the Roman troops, who have once again foolishly underestimated them. And then
we see Spartacus himself, mounted on a horse and armed with a sword, coming for
the commanders, who are now realizing, far too late, the peril they are in.

RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE: SEASON 5, EPISODE 1 - RuPAULLYWOOD OR BUST
Guest Judges: Camille Grammer and Mike RuizMini-Challenge: Photographer Mike Ruiz shoots the contestants for a underwater photoshoot where the girls try to stay underwater and keep their composureMini-Challenge Winner: DetoxMain Challenge: Going dumpster diving to make a dress that brings out Hollywood realness and glamourChallenge Winner: Roxxxy AndrewsBottom Two: Serena ChaCha and Penny TrationLip Synch Song: Party in the USA by Miley CyrusEliminated: Penny TrationFarewell message: "You ARE ALL STARS xoxo PT"
From the very start, this season is all about drama. Alaska
automatically brings tension, since there’s basically no way she can live up to
the standard set by her boyfriend, Season Four winner Sharon Needles. Then
there’s Penny Tration, the fan pick. Her interviews reference getting “many”
votes but never “the most”—that distinction actually went to Adore Delano (aka
Danny Noriega from Season 7 of American Idol), who wasn’t invited to join the
cast for undisclosed reasons.
The shadiest shade, however, lies in the valley between Alyssa
Edwards and Coco Montrese: when Alyssa lost her Miss Gay America crown in 2010
(also for undisclosed reasons), Coco was next in line, and the two have been on
bad terms ever since.
SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK REVIEW
About The Movie:
Pat Solitano (Bradley Cooper), who has bipolar disorder, is
released from a mental health facility into the care of his parents after eight
months of treatment. He learns that his wife, Nikki (Brea Bee), has moved away
and his father, Pat Sr. (Robert De Niro), is out of work and resorting to
bookmaking to earn money to start a restaurant. Pat is determined to get his
life back on track and reconcile with Nikki, who obtained a restraining order
against him after the violent episode that sent him away.
While talking to his court-mandated therapist Dr. Patel (Anupam
Kher), Pat explains again why he was hospitalized. Coming home early from his
high school teaching job, he found Nikki in their shower, having sex with
another teacher, as Pat and Nikki's wedding song, Stevie Wonder's "My
Cherie Amour," played on their stereo. Enraged, he nearly beat the man to
death. Despite this, Pat doesn't believe he needs medication to manage his
condition.
At dinner with his friend Ronnie, he meets Ronnie's sister-in-law, Tiffany
Maxwell (Jennifer Lawrence), a young widow and recovering sex addict who also
just lost her job. Pat and Tiffany develop an odd friendship through their
shared neuroses and he sees an opportunity to communicate with Nikki through
her. Tiffany offers to deliver a letter to Nikki, if in return he will be her
partner in an upcoming dance competition. He reluctantly agrees and the two
begin a rigorous practice regimen over the following weeks. Pat believes the
competition will be a good way to show Nikki he has changed and become a better
man. Tiffany gives Pat a typed reply from Nikki, in which she cautiously hints
there may be a chance for a reconciliation between them.
Things go well for Pat until his father asks him to attend an
Eagles game he has bet virtually all of his money on, as a "good-luck
charm". Pat skips practice with Tiffany to attend the game, but is dragged
into a fight with thugs attacking his psychiatrist and brother, and is hauled
away by police. The Eagles lose the game and Pat Sr. is furious. Tiffany
arrives, berates Pat, and argues in detail that the way she "reads the
signs," Pat Sr. was luckier when Pat was practicing with her. Pat Sr., now
convinced of this, makes a parlay with his gambling friend that if the Eagles win
their game against Dallas, and if Pat and Tiffany score at least a 5 out of 10
in their dance competition, he will win back all the money he lost on the first
bet. Pat is reluctant to participate in the dance contest under those
conditions and re-reads Nikki's letter. After noticing that the phrase Tiffany
had said earlier, "read the signs", appears in the letter supposedly
written by Nikki, he realizes that Tiffany actually wrote the letter.
Pat, Tiffany and everyone else arrive at the competition on the
night of the football game. Tiffany is horrified to discover that Nikki is in
the audience. Pat finds Tiffany and manages to coax her onto the dance floor
where they perform their routine. As they dance, the Eagles win their game and
at the conclusion of their set, they score exactly 5 points—Pat and Tiffany are
elated.
Amid cheers from his family and confused looks from the crowd, Pat
approaches Nikki and speaks quietly into her ear. Tiffany storms off. Pat
leaves Nikki behind after only a short conversation, intent on finding Tiffany.
He chases after her and tells her he knows she forged Nikki's letter. He
confesses he has loved her from the moment he met her but has taken a long time
to realize it, and they kiss. They become a couple and Pat Sr. opens a
restaurant with the money he has won.

I HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT
“I have to see it to believe it.”
This phrase denotes a relationship between seeing something with our own
eyes in order to believe that something exists. This relationship is grounded in the
conscious mind in that belief is premised on the actual manifestation of an
event or item. But what about the
subconscious mind? The power of the mind is amazing.
It can work to our benefit if you allow it to. Conversely it can throw us into a tailspin of
dramatic proportions. We control which
one is predominant.
We can choose to create the belief necessary to see situations that
we want to have that have not manifested yet.
However, many people envision the things they do not want and
unfortunately, the very thing you do not want becomes the reality. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy. In this case, blame is placed on others for
creating the situation, rather than on oneself for actually creating the
situation using the dark side of the mind.
Make a decision to use your subconscious mind to your benefit by
visualizing situations, events and circumstances that you desire, rather than
those you do not. The power of
visualization negates the “I have to see it to believe it” paradigm. See it in your mind, believe that it can
happen, and it shall be so. The faith in
the power of visualization will create the very thing you are seeing in your
mind, without having to “see it to believe it.”
When one is in the closet, the predominant mindset is that they
must stay in the closet in order to protect themselves from things that
probably will never happen. The power of
fear controls the subconscious mind.
Fear creates the visualization of terrible things happening if they come
out of the closet, thus foreclosing any chance of evolving into the person that
they are meant to be; forever keeping their true selves buried within themselves.
Visualize the person you want to be. See yourself out of the closet, happy and
living the life you were meant to.
Create situations in your subconscious mind that you desire, and believe
that they are the reality. Faith and
belief in visualizations premised on love of self instead of fear will stir the
power within to forge ahead to achieve the greatness that is inherently in all
of us, waiting to be discovered. No one
but you can make this discovery.

HANSEL & GRETEL REVIEW
About The Movie:
Abandoned by their father deep in a forest, young Hansel and Gretel
enter a gingerbread house and are nabbed by the old witch who resides in it.
The witch forces Hansel to continuously eat candy while making Gretel prepare
the oven, but the siblings outsmart her and shove her into the fire. Throughout
the years after the incident, Hansel and Gretel become ruthless bounty hunters
dedicated to exterminating witches. Their work is relatively easy because for an
unknown reason, they are immune to spells and curses. Hansel, however, is
diabetic as a result of his ordeal and needs to take a regular shot of a
medicine every day.
One day, in the town of Augsburg, Hansel and Gretel prevent Sheriff
Berringer from executing Mina, a young woman accused of witchcraft. Mayor
Englemann has hired the siblings to find and rescue several children abducted
by witches. Berringer hires trackers for the same mission, hoping to regain the
respect of the Mayor. However, all but one of the party are killed that night
by the powerful grand witch Muriel, who sends the surviving member back to the
town tavern to explode as a warning to the locals. Hansel and Gretel, with the
help of the Mayor's deputy Jackson, capture a witch and interrogate her. They
discover that the witches are preparing for the ritual of Blood Moon, which
requires sacrificing six boys and six girls, each born on a separate month.
Suddenly, Muriel, another witch and the troll, Edward, attack the town and
abduct the targeted girl. Gretel is knocked unconscious but is brought to
safety by a local boy named Ben, who is aspiring to be a witch hunter himself.
Hansel grabs a fleeing witch by her broomstick, but is lost in the forest.
The next morning, Hansel is found by Mina, who takes him to a
spring to heal his wounds. Meanwhile, Gretel enters the forest to search for
him, but she is assaulted by Berringer and his men for luring the witches to
their town. She is rescued when Edward arrives and mutilates the men and mends
her injuries. When asked by Gretel why he saved her, Edward answers that trolls
serve witches and walks away. Hansel and Gretel reunite at an abandoned cabin,
which they discover is not only their childhood home, but also a witch's lair.
Muriel appears in front of them, telling them the truth of their past. It is
revealed that Hansel and Gretel's mother was a grand white witch named
Adrianna, married to a farmer. On the night of the Blood Moon, the heart of a
white witch is needed to create a potion that makes witches impervious to fire.
As Adrianna was too powerful, Muriel targeted Gretel, who was revealed to be a
white witch herself. Muriel spread a rumor across the village about Adrianna.
To keep the siblings away from the mob of villagers, their father left them in
the forest before he was hanged while their mother was burned at the stake.
Following this revelation, the siblings battle Muriel before she stabs Hansel
and abducts Gretel for the ceremony.
Hansel wakes up to the sight of Mina, who reveals herself to be a
white witch. After Mina uses a spell to bless the siblings' arsenal, Hansel,
Mina and Ben head to disrupt the Blood Moon. While Mina mows down dozens of
witches with a Gatling gun, Hansel squares off against Muriel's minions and
frees the children while Edward defies Muriel's orders and releases Gretel
before he is thrown off the cliff by Muriel. With the ceremony ruined, Muriel
and the surviving witches attempt to flee, but the witches are killed by traps
while Ben shoots Muriel off her broomstick. On her way to meet up with Hansel,
Gretel finds Edward and uses her stun gun to defibrillate him back to life.
Hansel, Gretel and Mina follow Muriel's trail to the old gingerbread house.
During their confrontation, Muriel fatally stabs Mina. The siblings engage in a
grueling fight against Muriel inside the gingerbread house until they
decapitate her with a shovel. In the end, Hansel and Gretel collect the rest of
their reward for rescuing the children before embarking on their next hunt,
with Ben and Edward joining them.

HAVE FAITH OR...
There is no factual truth behind much of the ‘holy books’, that’s
why ye of so little faith need faith. Belief is stronger than ‘knowing’? People
who ‘know’ are not likely to lose their ‘cool’ when challenged. Believers
easily get angry if challenged by common sense outside of what they have
learned. Often, ‘they’ even say they ‘know’, and that’s
why they believe, and have ‘faith’ in ‘scripture’ from whatever religion
adopted. Confusing isn't it!
Just trust that what you believe is the truth, even if belief
implies doubt!? Now, no one is saying that faith isn't sometimes stronger than
having no faith, beliefs, or even thinking you know. Faith, belief, trust make
sense, but only if in pursuit of knowing where all three are open ended to
seeking that place of ‘knowing’.
Millions of edifices, be they church, temples, mosques or any
place of worship are all over the world
under the directions of leaders dedicated to keep you in the ‘faith and
belief’. Times have evolved with highly
technical means, better education, and unlimited opportunities to verify many
things of the past. Some of those thing were ‘believed’ without any scientific
means of establishing them as fact, such as when we use to think the earth was
flat. Man has been the ‘master’ of embellishing illusion, or beliefs as reality
from Disney pictures to Santa Claus to the Greek heroes like Orpheus, Achilles,
or Hercules.
Scribes from ancient times created characters usually based on
prior legends, and beliefs as archetypes, or models of moral character to show
their fellow man the path of righteousness. Man over the millenniums, up until
today, rarely discovered the way to use his faculties to arrive at knowing
himself, as well as a deep love within. Life was often too harsh, challenging,
or too short to mentor himself to an evolving spiritual state, hence the stop
gap measures of ‘religion’.
If you want to have faith, trust the belief that you are more than
you know! Closed ended faith that isn't open to seeing the steps to an inner
knowing has been ‘viral’ throughout history. Fear has been a deterrent that has
created a dis-ease in humans. Being on the same ‘page’ with millions that isn't on the last chapter pages exposing illusions with objective, verifiable
evidence, is a path to confusion and false hope. Love is a path from ‘belief’
to an inner feeling or intuition that there is a deeper and deeper love and
harmony available. Follow that path with an open mind and heart to the joys of
truth. That’s a clear, open road of faith to ‘knowing’ then the ride gets
better!!
THE BEST AVENGEMENT
The best avengement of our Ancestors is to return to Righteous Living & Sovereignty; to rebuild the gay community – stronger this time and more resistant to the invasion of, and domination by, others....When we do that, or even approach that, we don't have to worry about waging war with society. It will come. They will bring it. But until we rebuild the community – starting with rebuilding the community in us - we will not be ready for it.
