Aaron Hall Misses You....Old School Saturday

Kalen posting all these old school slow jams on Facebook prompted me to do this one.

He wrote this song about his dog that died, and capitalized off it from there. SMH
These men and their dogs. I've had..6 dogs and all but one of them died tragic deaths. I shed one tear, from each eye AND moved on.

I don't know though maybe him and his dog had one of those "special relationships" that are looked down upon in the Bible. Who knows!

Still a good song though



I Miss You - Aaron Hall

Post Slaughter Party...I Mean UT v. FL Afterparty!

Lets just be foreal...unless Jesus Christ, Peyton Manning, and Eric Berry throw on some basketball jerseys this Saturday...UT is getting that good ol' Florida raping....no lubrication. I mean foreal though somebody needs to prosecute Florida. It just ain't natural!

Yall know I love the Vols but lets be foreal. Florida. Need I say more?

Now, if Obama EVER did the "Single Ladies" dance...I really don't know what I'd do. Well for one I'd be laughing for the rest of my life, but after all that I'd be really disturbed.

Very disturbed actually

UT says: Don't Play With Me Money!!!!

I was doing my journalist thing and ran across this article from http://www.golvolsxtra.com/:

Name off athletic center after donor fails to make $2M pledge

Incase you didn't read the article (even though it's posted RIGHT THERE) here's my little GHETTO summary

At one point the building was called the Brenda Lawson "McKenzie" Athletic Center after this couple who donated some money to the whole...whatever the heck they do in there. Athletics one might suppose. The Mr. McKenzie dude WAS a big payday loan mogul (get your title back with Title Max! lookin ahnah!).

Well one day him and ol' girl got divorced. She paid her million dollars donation to UT, because you know she got alimony and some mo' ish from that divorce.

But him, Mr. McKenzie, had to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and he couldn't afford to hand that 2 million over because everyone like "This nigga owe me money! He better not be donating money to UT non championship winning blankety blank"

So UT got all mad and stuff and was like "Bruh...you said you was gonna pay me $2 million gimme my money" and McKenzie was like "Bruh I'm bankrupt. Didn't you get my text?" then UT was like "Nigga ______ yo Bankruptcy! We still gotta pay Fulmer non coaching blankety blank since we fired him"

Then McKenzie stopped answering UT's calls because UT was being all mafioso talking bout they gonna foreclose on his house, and put a car bomb on his Benz if they ain't get that $2mill. BUT we all know UT just be talking a lot of noise and they real weak so they just removed his name and call blocked McKenzie.

And you know his ex wife just tripping....."That's what you get for divorcing me mofo! I've taken everythang nigga! EVERYTHANG! The building named after me nigga! BRENDA NIGGA!"

The moral of the story: It's cheaper to keep her! AND UT will screw you....but don't screw UT.

NOW DON'T BE A FOOL AND ACTUALLY THINK THIS IS WHAT WENT DOWN! I KNOW SOME OF YALL....STUPID FOR LACK OF A EUPHEMISM...JUST STUPID. I'M BEING FUNNY HERE! I don't need UT sending me a email talking bout

"I heard what you said about me....you need to keep my name outcha mouth before your financial aid magically disappears...and goes toward hiring skanks for recruiting purposes"

;) that last part...real joke. The skanks at UT are all Pro Bono! Not even UT affiliated...well....I guess being a student skank does make you UT affiliated but not UT STAFFED. See this is why I ain't get chosen as a Vol Hostess....I'm just RUDE AND REAL.

LOL! OMG! I love UT though....I really do. If you're a recruit reading this..."Come to UT...if you wanna be sidetracked by hos and wind up with a degree in Sociology with no chance of going to the NFL and no job prospect for the future BECAUSE WHAT EXACTLY CAN YOU DO WITH A SOCIOLOGY DEGREE?"

My Sense of Humor

I just thought this was so funny, because it's true! Food is just getting too extra nowadays.

Tacos wrapped in Chalupas WITH BACON! BACON? Who puts bacon on a taco? Taco Bell that's who!

That ish is nasty! I've never tasted it but they're getting on that Domino's "how ultra fat nasty can we make our food" steez.

Final KAOS PHOTOS

OLD SCHOOL VIDEO: The Nasty Dance

Why every little black girl bang STAYED looking like her momma quit doing her hair when it got time to do the front? Except little mama with the jherri curl. Her momma just...triflin. How you give a 8 year old a jherri curl. That's rude

It's a cute video though. Disturbing this dude all in little mama face telling her to do her "nasty dance"...but cute.

COMPLETE AND UTTER KAOS! And we love it

I'm so glad we could all come together after such a tragic event (losing against Memphis) and hold hands...and take pictures...and look hot...and not wind up fighting...and....wear cute clothes.

That's kinda what the whole point of a party is ya know. I threw in some of my own personal photos too, so yeah heads up on that.

AND then the pictures are kinda cut off because the slide show is BIG but if you select "VIEW ALL IMAGES" you'll see correctly.

Lee's POV coming tomorrow!

Daily Dumbass

First of all he needs to just be foreal and quit fronting because his not trying to be racist excuses, sound ultra racist.....

A BALANCED GROWING LIFE Bible Study - www.intouch.org

God wants you to thrive so you can lead a positive life in a negative world. But people tend to be creatures of habit. We often gravitate toward what is safe, not necessarily what is good. Or we settle for mediocre rather than pursue what is best.

To flourish in all areas of your life, you have to want to be successful. You must desire more for every area of your life—especially spiritually. And that involves a willingness to obey God’s plan and principles. The Lord will satisfy the heart that is hungry for Him and His will.

• Read Psalm 1:1-2, paying attention to the verbs in the first verse.
  What would it indicate if a person were to walk, stop and stand, then sit with the ungodly?
  (Note: This passage is not talking about spending time with unbelievers so you can be a witness to them. Rather, it has to do with allowing oneself to be influenced by the ungodly.)
  

• How does this verb progression apply to gradually establishing bad habits?
  

A. Making a Life Wheel

Setting objectives is important; if you don’t determine your priorities, other people or circumstances will choose them for you. One way to record goals and evaluate your path is to make a life wheel. Draw a circle on a large piece of paper. At its center, draw a smaller ring and write “God” within it. Then divide the outside circle into four even sections. Label these “Family,” “Social/Recreational,” “Business,” and “Spiritual.”

Next, identify goals for each area of your life. Find photos of your family and friends, or cut out magazine pictures, that represent your goals. For instance, someone who wants to spend more time with his wife and children would include pictures of his family spending time together. Draw a picture if you can’t find an image that fits your goal.

After you complete your wheel, put it in a place where you can refer to it often, such as inside a closet door.

B. Why make a life wheel? It can help in five ways:

• Visualization: The wheel is based on the goodness of God. Remind yourself always that “the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord” (Ps. 33:5). Ask the Lord to rule over your imagination and to provide a glimpse of His plan for you as well as the blessings He desires to give you.
  

How did God describe the plans He had for the Israelites (Jer. 29:11)?

List at least one instance in which the Lord’s will for your life was better than what you would have chosen for yourself.

• Expectation: The life wheel is based on the promises of our heavenly Father. As you visualize and identify your goals, you are in a better position to ask God specifically for what you truly desire and then to look for His answer or provision.
  

According to James, why don’t we have more of God’s blessings (4:2)?

• Motivation: Aim to see your life as the Father sees it, and then act on what He guides you to do.

Many people believe that God isn’t personally interested in their lives. Is this a biblical idea (Ps. 32:8)?

Look at the wheel you made. How many of your goals were prompted by the Lord’s guidance? How many sprang primarily from your desires?

• Meditation: The wheel centers on submission to the Father. As you meditate on His Word, you learn more about the goodness of God and His plan for your life.
  

Read 1 Thess. 5:11-21. How can you apply this verse to your goals?

• Realization: The Lord will faithfully guide you into all truth.
  

How can Romans 8:28 provide reassurance of God’s intentions toward you?

What things in your life do you think the Father will use for your ultimate good, even if you can’t see His final purpose right now?

Take a few moments to pray. Ask the Lord to reveal how He wants you to cooperate with Him this week in bringing about His good purposes in your life.

C. Life Evaluation

The wheel provides an opportunity to evaluate your life at a glance. If you have many goals in one area of your life but very few in another, your priorities might be out of balance. (Note: Some areas of your life may have fewer aspirations of greater importance. In a balanced life, it’s the quality of goals that count—not the number).

After you have made your life wheel, answer these questions:

What area of my life have I overemphasized in the past?

What have I neglected?

What are the results of imbalance in my life?

If your wheel is unbalanced, begin by thanking and praising God for His goodness and His many benefits to you. Then ask Him to highlight areas of your life that need adjustment. As you look over your wheel, you are likely to feel drawn to a particular goal. Ask the Lord to give you wisdom about this specific area. As He leads, change priorities and readjust the goals until you feel that your life is on course with God’s agenda.

The Doing Too Much Tennessee v. Memphis Weekend!

As you may already know tomorrow kicks off the UT v. MEMPHIS GAME WEEKEND!

Seeing that a lot of black students at UT are from Memphis, this is kind of big deal for us. Something like our HWCU version of a HBCU Homecoming Weekend.

But tomorrow the 3 Kings will be having their....whatchacallit....well it's a party but it has a "SPECIAL NAME" let me see here...

Ok wait they're having a whole WEEKEND THING! And it's entitled:

SHOW ME WHAT YOU REPPIN' WEEKEND

and let them tell it, it is the

OFFICIAL UT v. MEMPHIS Weekend

People don't tell the whole truth though, but since there is no one to regulate we'll let them lay claim of it.

BACK TO THE SUBJECT! Tomorrow it's going down at Club 106 with

THE TIP OFF! oooooooooooo! Starts at 9pm and everyone gets in for the $4.99 before 11pm if you have a college ID.

Now here is where it gets "difficult"....Saturday....they doing something AGAIN at the old Tonic, used to be Barataria, now it's Catalyst and all ladies get in for FREE BEFORE 12am with a college ID.

Based off that fact alone I'll be there.

BUT something epic will be going on up the street, make a left at the stop sign, walk 50 paces, then stop at Club 106.

THE KAOS PARTY!

I don't have Greek Letters on my keyboard but that's the KAPPA, ALPHA, OMEGA, SIGMA....sorry no...umm...what they called....Iotas. Not them they ain't on the scene yet.

They ain't talking bout letting nobody in for the $Free.99 though so I ain't too sure about them. EVEN though it would be a wonderful photo op!

NOW if someone magically gives me a VIP pass I'll be there with heels on. OTHERWISE.

I'm KIDDING! I'll be there! I'll just be at the free party first.

Lets not forget the reason for the weekend! The Fabulous UT Men's Basketball Team will be playing the almost National Champions LAST YEAR Memphis Tigers @ 3:30pm.

I'm not saying anyone should go to the game because I WANT GOOD SEATS BUT SUPPORT YOUR VOLS!

So where are you all going?

Presidential Inauguration 2009

Once again people will show up to see President Obama on TV. I wasn't able to get everything but history was captured that night.

Collegiate Black Christians

I'm going to attempt to take pictures of other things that happen at UT than parties or Greek sponsored events. With that in mind I wanted to start with CBC since they're doing something on UT's campus that no one is doing in the African American community: trying to save your soul. Yeah, I guess that's important too...

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

There was a program today at the UC but I didn't go because I was feeling like the Incredible Hulk so I was lifting my mattresses and putting on new bedding, (WHICH feel and look fabulous...I'll post pictures if that floats your boat). BUT I'm pretty sure it was three cheers!

Tomorrow is a BIG DAY! Barack Obama becomes the new president! Yay! Send your prayers up and DON'T ACT A FOOL TOMORROW! Just surpress the urge to be stupid and be on your Ps and Qs and if someone makes you mad be like "WWJD" not "WWSD" because Jesus would be like "Forgive them....etc etc" but Satan would whip a brick across their face. Lets not...do what Satan would do. lol THAT'S WHY HE'S IN HELL YA KNOW!

But tomorrow @ 10 am at the BCC OSMA will be hosting the Swearing In Celebration Viewing Party until 1 pm. I will be there! I know I always say "I'll be there!" and I don't even show up and yall be all "Why weren't you there I wanted a new profile picture" but ya know sometimes I just....don't be there when I say I will. I didn't promise. BUT this time I will! I'll be late but I'll be there. I got classes dude!

AND the ghetto folks down at Club Malibu 7 will be having their Inauguration Party. I won't be there. I just don't see how those things relate....oh well....get that money!

That's all I got!

Happy Sabbath Day!

Today kicks off the National Society of Black Engineers Spring 2009 week with the theme of THE LEADER WITHIN

If you're participating in the festivities ALL THE WAY you shouldn't be reading this right now because that would mean you're in church on Facebook. Naughty!

But today's theme, which is so befitting, LEADING IN YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE is for the promotion of Jesus! Right now they're up at Mt. Olive but if you missed that or you go to OBC where church starts later than normal you can go to their 5 p.m. collabo with CBC at Clement's basement.

I don't know about CBC....but I'll go anyway! I don't think it's a picture taking moment but the camera comes anyway but I'll be reporting too!

See yall there! God Bless!

Martin Luther King had a dream that you'd be in the Howard Johnson hotel stumbling around because you couldn't see.

AND TADA! Its happened for you!

Was it just me or was it super smoky in there. Some girl started choking and I bet I know why. I thought it was illegal for...hmm well anyways "STOP SMOKING!" It's bad for your health and everyone around you.

My little public service announcement....that no one is going to heed. Forget you too. This is what you're all here for though. THE PICTURES!

Like I said in my message it really felt like we were at a high school DECA...BPA competition after party. AND I couldn't see for nothing!

Old School Video: Your Mama's on Crack Rock!

This is one rude video!!!!!

YOU GOT MY MOMMA BENT!

NSBE Week

The UT chapter of NSBE having a week of events and fun. Personally, I've never been to one of their weeks but based off the people that are behind the planning it should be good. Check it out and I'll try and get you in a pic.

Just Incase You Missed the Headline...

Front page of the Daily Beacon...main story....big blazing headline...something to the effect of

"VOLS GOT MOLLYWOPPED BY CATS 90-__"

I mean dang...if we lost you can put that junt in the back of the paper where the sports section usually is. Who side you really on kid?!

On a lighter "Aww" note. Coach Lane Kiffin and his supermodel looking wife had a baby yesterday by the name of "Monte Knox Kiffin" and he'll go by "Knox".

AWWWW how sweet! Lets hope you don't regret that when, AND IF all your changes don't mean nothing and they do you like they did Phil....or how they did you in Oakland.

White people be having them random object, town, street, field in the UK baby names anyway though.

The Sharonne Call

If you're black you know about Sharonne Winston fowarding you all these emails pertaining to "black life" and ya know....it's annoying as (insert your favorite 4 word expletive here) BUT it serves it's purpose.

ALL I WANNA KNOW IS CAN I GO TOO? THE D.C. NY THANG THAT IS...LETS NOT DISCRIMINATE BRUH!

BREAKING NEWS! THE ALPHAS ATTACKED ME!

Not really. But they came as a mob into the library and personally asked me to shout out their party THIS FRIDAY night at the Howard Johnson Hotel (Across the street from the West Town Mall).

New venue...never been there BUT I guess there's always a first. According to my old school sister the Alphas used to party it up there all the time back in 86 when she was in college (of course I'm exaggerating because she's just 2 years older than me).

I'll be in that thang though I get off work at the mall so Imma be the first free lady wearing some busted sales clerk set. Somebody bring me a 5 hour energy drink...fruit punch.

Yeah but ladies get in free until 11pm! Men...don't nobody care about yall....$5 all night and $10 if you got on some dirty Air Force 1s!

I kid!

It's Basketball Time In Tennesee!

I'm by no means a "pro" at this basketball thing and I don't totally understand the jargon BUT as you may already know I'm pretty partial to basketball. Particularly UT's Men's team.

This past Saturday they won their SEC season opener against the Georgia...Bulldogs (maybe..I wasn't there I don't know!) with a score of 86-77, and that's always a good thing!

TOMORROW...9pm 2nd game...SECish game (told yall I don't know don't be trippin over there) against Kentucky...Cats...Wildcats. Same difference.

Black people...you know how we do...be late or even on time, and what we don't realize is that white people be there at 5pm. Took off work early and everything and BAM you ain't got nowhere to sit and that's not a good thing. Not saying you need to be there at 5pm but don't be mad if they turn you away and you standing in the hallway like you at a high school jamboree.

AND as always...GO VOLS!

I really need to stop being biased and cover the girls too but this is a blog and not a paper so I think I can do that....

Phi Beta Sigma & Zeta Phi Beta Sunday Dinner

Even more pictures and still more to come

Phi Beta Sigma & Zeta Phi Beta Sunday Dinner

This was a good event or at least I had a fun. Everybody was friendly for the most part and the food was good so if you did not go you pretty much missed out. There was a lot to see so there is a lot of pictures. Enjoy them. It was cool to see some of the older Sigmas and Zetas come to support the younger ones, it looked like a tight knit group.

Just A Little Something For Your Viewing Pleasure

I've been up since 3AM so I'm keeping it simple by going the YouTube route.

But ay....my mans was trying a little too hard to pull off the white weatherman look with that hairdo.

You know he got replaced after this. Don't run just kill it!

Yeah About That...: Real Doll for the real desperate

Memoirs & Warnings of an Ex-Satanic High Priestess by Mistye Quinn

HOLD UP STOP THE PRESS! I know it says by Mistye Quinn but my sister wasn't and is not an ex-satanic high priestess....this is just a note of her's. I'm posting it until she gets signed up with us and she'll be the official Chrisitian writer for Knoxarazzi.

And yall know what it says in the Bible "If I be lifted up I'll draw all men unto me"...don't know the exact scripture but that's what Jesus said....so you know.....maybe we'll reap the benefits of that in the process because my sister....she's anointed.

BUT in any event. Real interesting stuff. Link to her personal blog on Xanga will be at the end of this post....

This is probably the gravest post I've ever posted. I hear my writings are long, so I'm going to try to condense it as much as possible, but I want to put the important things in, so it will be somewhat lengthy. But it will be informative, helpful, and a bit frightful, so readers beware! I had another membership on Xanga earlier this year, but I eventually deleted that account. There were a lot of Wiccan witches and Satanists who did not like what I was talking about, and I was threatened by a few of them. They threatened to put spells on me, but to no avail because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. Some years ago my dad successfully did an exorcism, and some of the powers that were too weak to get through to him tried to (and perhaps successfully) get to me for a while. So I have had a bit of experience with witchcraft, but still not much at all.

But back to the current day, I am an avid reader. I LOVE to read. I read all day several books a day. Almost once a week, I buy a spiritual/Chrisitian book. Today I went to Barnes & Nobles, and I believe that many times, God leads me to a book that will be very beneficial to me and to others who I write and talk to. I was lead to this book called, "He Came to Set the Captives Free" by Rebecca Brown, MD. There were three books I was interested in, but I decided to buy this one and a related one called "Prepare for War" by the same author.

The cover of the first book is mostly black. There's someone in a loose, hooded black robe with a red braided belt on his or her waist. The person is crouched inside a circle with a five-point star inside with a lighted black candle at each point of the star (you can't see one candle because it's behind the hooded figure). Under the circle and star are flames on top of brimstone or coals. And inside of that are a pair of arms reaching out with the fingers tightly gripped around a bunch of chains that are wrapped around the hooded figure. But the good news is that the hooded figure has the chains that are binding his uplifted hands cut asunder by a white, shiny sword in the hand of a bright, shiny arm with a red, stained hole in its wrist.

This book is about a former high priestess and bride of Satan. She was dedicated to the occult in a coven called The Brotherhood as a child when her mother gave a tube of her blood to a head nurse who was also in Satanism. The woman's pseudonym is Elaine. She was born with a severe cleft-palate, hare-lip. Her poor mother gave the nurse the blood because the lady said that she could get the mother the resources to get the surgery needed for Elaine. The mother unknowingly gave her the blood, but didn't know the terrible harm she had done. That happens a lot in the occult. People don't know the truth about what's going on. Many of the members subconsciously or consciously want to feel love and acceptance, and the cults "offer" that to them, so they join and have no idea all the mess they are getting involved with.

This woman was a high priestess and bride of Satan so she actually had sexual intercourse with Satan. She said that after she became his bride, she soon realized that he did not love her as he proclaimed. (Of course you can't believe the devil because he's a liar!) Elaine said that there was a family in the neighborhood who was converting the Satanists, and the devil told them to go "astrally" (not in their physical bodies), to kill the family. When they left to do so, they said link angels (angels that are shoulder to shoulder holding hands) were surrounding the house and that they could in no-wise get through! They said at first the angels were laughing at them and somewhat daring them to try to get through, but then after the Satanists kept trying, the angels gave them this look that knocked them over backwards! Elaine said for the first time, despite all she had been taught in the occult, she began to think that maybe the devil was weaker than Jesus Christ and God. One of the angels told her that the devil actually hated her and that Jesus loved her and wanted her to get saved, but it took two years for Elaine to get saved after that incident.

It was interesting what happened after she got saved (and please believe that the devil and her demons tried to stop her from leaving the car and getting inside the church door). She said when she was at home, the devil came with his most powerful demons. Now usually, he would punish her SEVERELY when she betrayed him. And when he was pretending to be loving to his bride, he would touch her shoulders. But she said that after she got saved he would stand far off from her. The protection of Jesus radiating around her kept him at bay!

Believe it or not, she said werewolves and vampires exist. She said they are people who are 100% sold out to the devil. Other Satanists don't even like them because they are very impersonal and are loners. That I did not know! She said they did human sacrifices a lot (usually with babies, hitchhikers, betraying Satanists). Elaine said that's one thing she could not get with, so she suffered a lot of punishment from the devil for it. She said he gave her cancer four times, and she had to go through the horrifying chemotherapy for her disobedience. She said she would find some excuse to leave the room when they were doing human sacrifices. She said that most high societies are Satanic, but that only the people on top know. The people at the bottom of the society don't know yet.

She said she could do some pretty amazing things with the powers she got from Satanism. Here are some of them. She could light a candle from across the room. After she had "consummated" her marriage to the devil, one of the women tried to start something with her, and without her hands, she slammed the woman into the wall (literally into the wall, and she had to be cut out). She said that she was in a competition, and she was the last competitor, and this man shot six shots of a .357 Magnum at her. Before he did, she had waved her hand in front of her body to make her demons create a shield between her and the bullets. She said the bullets stopped in front of her and were spinning on the ground. (Reminds me of that scene in the Matrix).

But I'm not at all trying to make her powers or their powers seem enviable. God is more powerful than every demon and the devil combined easily! She said that she found out the devil had been lying to her after a particular incident. She said that she had two demons indwelling her named Ri-Chan and Man-Chan who protected her from other Satanists' demons who tried to compete with her. But one time, four demons came to beat her up. She found out that even though she would not tell on Ri-Chan and Man-Chan for what they did, they told the devil what she had done. So they stood to the side while the four demons beat her within an inch of her life. She said her husband the devil came in and did not try to help her. She said after that incident, she knew he was a liar who did love her.

A few times, she speaks directly to people who are involved in Satanism. She warns them that the devil does in fact hate them and that he is lying to them when he says that he has defeated Jesus. Jesus Christ and God are infinitely more powerful than the devil. That's why after she got saved, the devil would talk all crazy to her, but he would not step near her! I think two days after she gave her life to Christ, the devil came to her, and he was threatening her. She said some curse word to him. Then he told her, "See you're not really saved because Christians don't curse." That showed me how weak he was compared to God because he used to have her beat up when she made him mad, but now he settled for trying to make her think she wasn't saved. So pathetic.

Rebecca (the author) and Elaine (the ex-Satanist) named some activities that were doorways to let the devil in. Some of these may be some things you are doing. Don't get offended if you do some of these things. You just have to make the decision to stop immediately; I used to do some of these things myself before I knew better. Horoscopes (I was guilty of this), fortune tellers, tea leaf readers, tarot cards, palm readers, seances, studying books on the occult arts, ouiji boards, ESP, psychics, astral projection (leaving your body), mediation (of ANY kind - I was guilty of this), water witching, divining for oil or minerals by using a dowsing rod or pendulum, any magic like levitation (I was guilty of this [light as a feather, stiff as a board]), telekinesis (moving objects with your mind), using mediums, spiritists to locate a missing object, any martial arts (I was guilty of this [jujitsu]), spells, incantations, etc. Any of the aforementioned things WILL OPEN A DOORWAY TO THE INFLOW OF SATANIC POWER AND DEMONS.

Also, use of recreational drugs (guilty!), repeated drunkeness, child abuse, any severe emotional and/or physical trauma may allow evil in. Sexual fornication is another big doorway (guilty!). Demons ARE passed from one person to another through sex. The author of the book said rape and violent sexual assault, especially in children, is a doorway she sees repeatedly used to come into people's lives. She said it resulted in some of the strongest demons she's ever met. She also said that incest and any homosexual activity ALWAYS leads to demonic infestation. Also any of the corrupt sexual practices condemned in the Bible and used in porn.

Biofeedback (guilty!) also trains people to gain control of areas of our minds and bodies that God has not ordained us to have control of. Biofeedback is modernized Yoga, satanic meditation, and witchcraft. Hypnosis (guilty!) and acupuncture are forms of demonic healing. All Eastern religions are various forms of demon worship. People don't know that the needles used in acupuncture are blessed by various leaders of the Eastern religions. Some Eastern religions are T.M. (Transcendental Meditation) and Yoga. Instead of doing Yoga, you should do Pilates which is similar and without the spiritual ramifications. Using hexes or spells or "voodoo" can even affect Christians. You have to be careful who you cross and who you associate with because they might get revenge on you in this form if you offend them. I had a friend in college who found out that a dude she was sleeping with had a girlfriend. Of course, she was hurt, so she said she was seriously considering having a lady who worked with her who knew voodoo to put a spell on him! I'm glad she reconsidered. Also, some demonic stuff is inherited if you don't get with Jesus. Even if you are a Christian, you need to close the doorway to any ancestors that have done witchcraft with the blood of Jesus. Elaine said that some babies were possessed before they even were born because of some deals their Satanic parents made.

She said one of the biggest tools Satan uses in the U.S. is the occultic role-playing fantasy games like Dungeon & Dragons. She said this is especially occurring in the West Coast. This next one will probably offend a lot of you. She said rock music was a carefully devised and executed plan of the devil. When she became the high priestess, she got to meet the famous rock stars. She said they had signed a contract to the devil for fame and fortune. If you look it up online, most of the famous rock stars die at age 27. I always wondered if it was because their contract ended at that age. Even the ones who didn't die at age more than likely have signed contracts. These rocks stars are teaching untold millions of youth to worship and serve Satan. I even heard that 3 6 Mafia (who used to be one of my favorites) are involved in witchcraft. Look how famous they have gotten with such silly music?! They have a Grammy! 3 6 could very well stand for 3 sixes (666). I listened to one of their songs slowed down, and you could hear them saying incantations in the background and in the chorus.

Elaine attended special ceremonies at various recording studios throughout the U.S. for the specific purpose of placing satanic "blessings" on the rock music recorded. She and others did incantations which placed demons on EVERY record and tape of rock music sold. At times they also called up special demons who spoke on the recordings - especially in the various backmasked messages. Also, in many, many of the recordings, the satanists themselves were recorded in the background (masked by the over-all noise of the music) doing chants and incantations to summon up more demons every time one of the records or tapes or videos is played. As the music is played, these demons are called into the room to afflict the person playing the music and anyone else who is listening. To all the rock fans on Xanga, I recommend you read the book The Devil's Disciples - The Truth About Rock by Jeff Godwin published by Chick Publications, Inc.

If you are guilty of getting involved in any of these practices, you must close the doorways. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to clease us from all unrighteousness." I John 1:9

You can close the doorway by a prayer such as the following:

"Father, I confess to you my involvement in __________. I recognize that such (a) thing(s) is/are an abomination to you and detestable in Your sight. I humbly ask Your forgiveness for my sin in this/these area(s). I ask you to lift out any demonic entrance as the result of my actions and to cleanse me from my sins and close the doorway(s) forever with the precious blood of Jesus. I ask for this and thank You for it, in Jesus' name."

Then you can say this one also out loud to the devil and his demons.

"Satan and you demons, I have asked my heavenly Father for forgiveness for participating in _________ and have received it. I now by faith close the doorway of that area of my life to you forever through the blood of Jesus Christ shed on the cross for me. In the name of Jesus I command you to go away!"

If you have stronger demons, you will probably need another person or other persons for deliverance like Elaine did. Either way, you should say these two prayers out loud and God will help you and give you directions about what to do.

I plan on writing more posts about this topic. It is very serious, and your earthly life and/or eternal life can depend on it. I'm not the kind of person you may see on college campuses who go around passing out pamphlets saying, "If you go to football games, you're going to hell!" I'm not that kind of person at all. I teach forgiveness, acceptance, and love. But when it gets serious, you have to warn people about things like this. This post is the most serious one I've written. I wrote another one about the exorcism my dad performed a couple of years ago. It's called "My Daddy Saw the Devil Incarnate, Seriously". Soon I will post about the 27 Club which are mostly famous rock musicians who have died of mysterious or tragic deaths. These rock musicians might have very well signed a contract with the devil for their fame and fortune. Stay posted for my following notes!

Failure & Success: First Day of Class Wrap Up

So the guys lost. I would list the score but does it really matter when you're on the losing end? It wasn't by much though but still they lost. That's cool though. They did their best or close to it. There's always Georgia, Kentucky, SC, and Vanderbilt etc etc. I must say Tatum was on a roll during the first half. Second half slick resembled beach volleyball and the score reflected that.

I still love yall though.

On a happier note. The Swagg Before Class party was a success. However somebody done lied to the masses talking bout "discounts with scarves, skinny jeans, etc etc" because I paid $10 whole dollars. Maybe because I came like I said I would: Swagless. Who knows...

Here are the pictures though. Note: If you want your picture taken ASK don't just stare at me because that's slick aggresive and I'm thinking "Did I offend you somehow or are you coming on to me?" I may look like a beesh but I'm not. That's what I have a camera for. Stop staring and start talking. A closed mouth don't get a new profile pic YA DIG!

Song playing: Swagg by Teyana Taylor. Simply because I HATE WITH A PASSION that song sampling M.I.A.

Ancient School Video of the Day: Rainy Days & Mondays

Katt Williams

Katt Williams was going to retire from comedy a little while back, or so I read through articles on the internet but after the joke off with Steve Harvey I hope he doesn't. Even though his last dvds did repeat jokes and are on the decline, I think Katt is really funny and keeps it real. So whether he's right or wrong about going at Steve Harvey, I just hope it lights a fire in him to be the funniest he can be. Just in case you haven't heard what he's said about Steve Harvey, here's SOME of it.

Steve Harvey versus Katt Williams

The videos explain it all. I'm still looking to find Steve's set but I think the comments about Katt Williams are on point. I've seen all of his videos and he DOES use the same jokes over and over and the videos are on a decline! You tell me what you think...

The Next Big Things 2009: Nude "Leather" Shoes

These predictions are coming from Lucky Magazine (http://www.luckymag.com/). The BEST MAGAZINE EVER!

Here's what they say though, and here's some shoes I found.

"They make legs look a mile long, and there isn't a single color or pattern that this creamy, super neutral tone doesn't complement. REALLY! Try them as a clean, light-looking finish to summer's little black dresses and skirts."

ALL I gotta say is...nude for who? Does that mean black folks gotta wear creamy brown shoes? Ok so maybe this trend is for the white people and those who are light bright dang near white. BUT hey you can still rock it if you want. It won't elongated your legs but you'll be "IN"

Refueling Your Soul: Time Alone With God by Dr. Charles Stanley

Have you lost your spiritual motivation and drive? Has ministering to the needs of others become a chore rather than the joy it once was? Do you feel bored at church? If so, you may need to renew your commitment to spend time alone with God.

Jesus knew that time alone with the Father was essential. As busy as our Savior was with His mission, He often withdrew to pray. In those private and intimate moments, Christ found strength for what He knew lay ahead.

Many believers call these one-on-one meetings with God “quiet times” or “devotions.” They are a basic ingredient in a maturing relationship with the Lord. Quiet times change our approach to God from intellectual, detached, and “religious” to relational. When we give Him an opportunity to do so, the Father will speak to us through His Word and times of prayer in a real, personal way.

One by-product of a strong devotional life is a heightened sense of accountability to God. Spending time regularly with Him is strong motivation to keep sins confessed and bad habits in check. It is also a powerful incentive to resolve broken or damaged relationships. Holding a grudge against someone makes it impossible to have genuine intimacy with the Father.

When We Don’t Draw Near to God

As with any relationship, communication is the key to knowing the Lord better. Where there is no communication, there can be no relationship. Where there is no relationship, there can be no trust. And the less you trust someone, the harder it is to follow that person. So a Christian with no devotional life generally struggles to have faith and obey the Lord.

Christ came not only to reconcile all people to God (2 Cor. 5:18-20), but also to establish oneness between mankind and Himself. Without a devotional life, the relational side of the Christian faith fades away.

Practical Steps for Effective Quiet Times

Here are some things that make my devotional life richer:

1. Schedule time with God. Like anything else you intend to do, devotional time usually won’t happen unless it is planned. How often have you said to a friend, “Hey, let’s get together,” but failed to follow through? If you are like me, those plans seldom materialize. When I’m serious about getting together with someone, I make an appointment.

Specifically, before you go to bed, try to decide on a time and place to be alone with the Father the next day. Personally, I find mornings to be the best time to meet with God. I enjoy getting up early and beginning my day listening to and talking with Him. There is something extraordinary about focusing on the Father first thing.

2. Choose a place. If possible, conduct your quiet time in the same location every day. Eventually, this spot will take on special significance. Being there will affect your mood and your ability to concentrate. It will create an attitude of expectancy in your spirit.

Choose a place off the beaten path of your daily activities. It may be a spare bedroom, your living room, or even a closet. You need a place where the only thing you do there is meet with God.

I know a man whose special place is under the stairs in his house. A college student I know pulled his bed away from the wall and made that his spot. For me, it is a corner in my study at home. No matter where you live, you can find a spot to be alone with God.

3. Use a variety of methods.People often tell me that their personal devotions have become dry, routine, or even boring. God is certainly not uninteresting. And chances are, you are not dull either. So if spending time with Him becomes monotonous, the culprit is probably your method. The cure is to modify your routine.

For example, if you’ve been reading a devotional book, put it down, and instead, journal your thoughts and prayers. If you’ve been following a plan for reading through the entire Bible, take a break and read straight through one book of your choice. If you have been praying, supplement your prayers by memorizing Scripture. If your devotions have turned into in-depth Bible studies, find a devotional book to lighten things up for a while. Remember, this is a relationship. Look for ways to keep it fresh, and your quiet times won’t become stale.

Morning Laugh: Bossip Awards 2008!

I stay on Bossip. They're just hilarious! HILARIOUS! And they've actually done an Awards show. It's on Youtube.com but still that's a show. Check it out get your jollys and I'll see you tomorrow. kAY?

Time Management....It's Kinda Important

If you're like me you probably got straight C's last semester, and if you've never gottten straight Cs in your life (like myself) you're totally devasted because dang that's just average ya know? I've gotten F's and D's with some C's and A's & B's BUT just straight Cs....for some reason that's worse than a one F to me.

AND if that is the case, you being like me with the straight C's swag or D's and F's swag....you probably did something wrong. Terribly wrong.

What you may ask? Could be a number of things but for the sake of my post lets just say it was time management. Because time management is kinda the root of success in college. Even if you're not so intelligent...college isnt' that hard you just gotta manage your time and that's where this post comes in. SO WHAT MUST YOU DO TO BE SAVED?

LOL. Just kidding that's another post....TIME MANAGEMENT. COME WITH ME!

Now effective time management involves the following elements:

PLANNING & GOAL SETTING

• Write down on a calendar when all of your major assignments for the semester are due


• At the end of each week, write down all of the assignments due in the next 2 weeks


• Set realistic goals for completing these assignments


• Understand that the guideline given for studying on a college level is 2-3 hours of studying for each hour in class

TAKE ACTION

• Limit your "To Do" list to 3 things


• Do something - Try working on an activity that is related to class work to help you focus on "Studying", even if that activity isn't exactly what you "need" to be working on right now. (Recopying notes is a good task to help you settle in to doing your "homework").


• 
  
  Set time limits - try using your alarm to help keep you on track. For example, choose one task and set a time limit for when you must have started that task, or if you want to take a 15 minute break, set the alarm to tell you when time is up.

USE TIME EFFECTIVELY

• Know yourself & your own schedule


• Study earlier in the day


• Study during "breaks" between classes


• Choose your study environment carefully


• Repeating/revisting material in the first 3 days after you are first exposed to it greatly increases your knowledge of & ability to recall the material.

CREATE PATTERNS THAT WORK

• Create a "ritual" for studying (i.e. - copy your class notes first)


• Make studying a "habit" (Try for a week or two to complete all of your assigned reading before hanging out with friends, watching TV, and or surfing the Internet.)


• Reward yourself for meeting goals.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR MIND & BODY

• Avoid alcohol (One night of heavy drinking (3 or more drinks) can impair your ability to think abstractly/critically for up to 30 days


• Get "enough" sleep (8-9.25 hours per night)


• Eat breakfast


• Exercise

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY....KEEP GOD FIRST! AND NEXT IMPORTANTLY (bet you never heard that one before) check Knoxarazzi.blogspot.com EVERYDAY or you'll fail college. It's true!
