Booksi of The Week

I have a new booski and his name is Kero One :)

Anyone who knows me knows I have a new booski just about every week.  They are frequent like my changing of underwear but I think I found true love this time.

His name is Kero One and his a Korean Rap Artist.

I was put onto K-pop earlier this year by my cousin, Renee.  I am a total Big Bang fan, TOP being my fave because he is just so damn silly but has such a serious swagger.  When he actually crip walked in his music video, Turn It Up Now I thought I almost died.  My husband just said "Wow, that's a gangsta asian."

Don't even get me started on his appearence in Se7en's video, Digital Bounce.

Next up is Taeyang, mainly because he has an intense love for Jesus and not for nothing, the easiest way into my heart is to love The Lord like I do.  Then he plays the piano, I find that incredibly sexy. The beginning of his video Wedding Dress ...*fans self* Yeah, it's just that serious. But he's veritcally challenged.  Thats a big downer.  You can't be short like I am.  That won't work.

Either way with ALL the love I have for K-pop, if you take a gander at each video, you'd be hard pressed to find a non-asain woman in any of them.  The only exception was in TOP's vid.  The chick he acted like he was playing the piano on was in fact white (I have my own theories on why that is but anyway...).

Now enter Kero One...Yeah man not only rhymes in English but has a plethora of non-asain women in his video, On Bended Knee.  The first chick is light skinned black, then there were two white chicks, and then an old asain couple who were clearly still making it do what it do in the love department.  But in the end he went home to his woman who was a dark skinned sista! 

Big ups to him for showing love can exist outside of the boundaries scoiety has tried to place on us.  You find love where you find it.  Whether the person is white, black, green, or purple with orange polka dots.

Not to mention that he can actually rhyme.

So to my BOOSKI of the WEEK:  Here's to you Kero One!

The Day of the Elections/Rant...

I am not surprised by the results of yesterday's midterm elections.  Republicans taking the house seemed  inevitable with the state of unrest the country has been in.  All a oerson has to do is go outside their door to feel the level of hopelessness that stirs in the air.  People want jobs.  People want money.  And they want it now!

Many blame President Obama for the Republican sweep.  Both parties have voiced displeasure with his presidency thus far.  He ran for president on the platform of change and yet many are not seeing it.  He made a promise and hasn't delivered on it in the time table many believed it should have been.

Do I blame our President? No.  I blame society and it's quick fix mentality.  I blame the media that has harped on his failures.  But that's not to say Obama hasn't made some missteps.

He has. 

The main one is ignoring Bill Clinton's motto for winning his 1993 and 1997 elections:  It's the ECONOMY, STUPID!

Bubba got away with murder.  Figuratively, of course...Oh wait, literally.  Anyone remember the Rwanda Genocide?

Probably not.  It's one of those gloss over moments that America doesn't like to talk about because we look like douche bags when we do.

There was no humanitarian effort made on the part of the US to stop the genocide even after the US was warned by a Hutu allies that it was going to happen.  All because it was happening in Africa and Lord knows we can't do anything to help Africans if it's not in our own interest.  In three months between 800,000 - 1,000,000 Tutsi's were murdered.  But it wasn't called genocide, but ACTS of genocide.  How many acts of genocide constitute genocide?  I don't know.

But I am getting away from myself...

If you look at the gaffes in Bill Clinton's presidency (and there were many, Lewinsky Scandal, the Gov't shutdown of '95 - although  not to angry with him about that b/c Newt  Gingrich was all kinds of out of place and in the end, suffered a political bitch slap)  people didn't really care too much one way or the other because their pockets were lined with money.  The economy was flowing.

People had jobs, they had money, and it kept them oblivious to whatever the hell was going on in the world.

President Obama really needs to take note. 

You can literally get away with murder if you keep money in people's pockets.  If he had, the American people would ignore the fact that change is NOT an instanteous process. 

It is slow.  At times painfully so.  Epseically when you are looking to implement change that is going to last.  Just look at how long since the the first presidential election in this country until now, for a person of color to occupy the Oval Office.  From 1789 until 2008.  That's 219 years. 

Not an overnight process.

And while change does start with one person it often takes others taking up a cause for it to be seen through to it's completion.  Obama seems to be doing it all by his lonesome.  Now that he has even less support in the house and Senate, the change will be even slower in happening. 

It's on to the 2012 elections from here.  If The President wants to stick around for another term he's going to have to do something; namely give people money to pacify them, like President Clinton did.  Following his example, he could murder a million folks and no one give a damn b/c they have money in their pockets.
