Professor Locs on The B J Murphy Show 103.3 Pt. 1

Hey guys check me out on my latest media appearance.

I was invited to hang out by my girl Erica.  She is producing for 103.3. 

This is my spot on The B J Murphy Show on 103.3...enjoy! 

Daddy Long Settles With Accusers

The Reverend Bishop Big Daddy Long has settled with his accusers so that there will be no trial.  The homophobic tight Tshirt wearing senior pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist church has settled with four young men, former members, who accused him of sexual misconduct. 

Apparently Daddy Long took the practice of laying of hands to a whole new level. 

Long has been very outspoken against gays and lesbians.

This again is why so many turn away from organized religion.  I did not say God.  Folks are tired of the hypocrisy and over  the top consumption of organized religion.   Long is only getting the attention because of his celebrity status he is not the only pimp in the pulpit. 

  I say less building funds and more educational scholarships.

"It doesn't make me think he's guilty or anything," church member Kamelya Hinson told the newspaper. "I decided when this came out that I loved my pastor unconditionally. Even if he came out and grabbed the mic and said ‘I'm guilty,' it wouldn't change the way I feel about him."

Well it sounds like someone is ready to drink the punch.  Get a clue lady!

What is it about fanatical religious folks that makes them so gullible.  I wonder if his congregation would be as forgiving if he came out as being gay?

As far as I am concerned the settlement only proves that he is a predator that could afford to buy the silence of his young victims. 

Church members beware, hide your money and hide your young sons cause Daddy Long is back in business. 

Long is to be dispised not because of this sexuality but his misuse of authority and power!

Hot Guy of the Week

I thought since we survived the end of the world we should treat ourselves. 

-What is better than one Hot Guy of the Week than two hot guys of the week.  Enjoy!

End of the World, Next Time

We have all heard it at one point in our lives, and usually from elderly relatives: We are living in the last days.

I love how older people embrace that idea, especially since they have enjoyed a full and bountiful life.

You guys have most likely been keeping up with the predictions by radio evangelist Harold Camping, who predicted that May 21 would be the end of the world. Camping and his followers invested in billboards, media time and crossed the country in RVs spreading word that the world would end. That in itself is pretty impressive, considering today’s gas prices.

We have all seen the signs: crazy weather patterns, dead birds falling from the sky, hundreds of dead fish washing up on the beach in New Zealand, “All My Children” cancelled, Oprah leaves daytime television and another season of “Dancing With the Stars” and “Jersey Shore”...lol.

The signs are clear, people; we are living in the last days!

But hold up. Just when you had composed the perfect email telling your boss exactly where and how long to kiss your sweet caboose and you have spent this month’s mortgage on online poker, you wake up Sunday and the world is still here. It’s like a bad scene from “The Hangover,” except there is no tiger. Plus, your head hurts from the end-of-world mojitos you guzzled the night before.

Panic sets in as you realize that the only people who got caught up in the rapture were folks listening to some old-school Anita Baker. You begin to fabricate a story about mixing medication and blackouts for both your boss and the mortgage company.

“We had all of our dates correct,” Camping insisted, saying he now understands that Christ’s May 21 arrival was “a spiritual coming,” ushering in the last five months before the final judgment and destruction.

Have any of you seen this guy? He is like the religious twin of Orville Redenbacher. Maybe his confidence comes from the fact that he was there with Jesus and had a personal conversation about when he would return.

Camping is now stating that the May 21 rapture was “an invisible judgment day,” that he has come to understand it as a spiritual rather than physical event.

What, not a rapture? My bad.

Camping, who was way off, needs to go back to the Nostradamus Academy of Predictions and Cosmetology.

He now says, “It won’t be spiritual on October 21. The world is going to be destroyed altogether, but it will be very quick.”

Well, that makes me feel much better.

Can we apply the same sensibilities to other important dates, like tax time? April 15 will be a spiritual date for paying taxes; they will really be due the following October….lol.

Help me, guys. I know that many of you got A’s in vacation bible school and are more knowledgeable about scripture than me, but isn’t there a verse in the Bible that says something like, “We know not the time nor the day, etc?”

I know that there are many signs predicting the end of days, but just in case, I propose Professor Locs’ Top Five Signs that the rapture is upon us:

5. You live in Charlotte and notice that there is a real estate company selling a new subdivision as beachfront property.

4. “Jersey Shore” is replaced with “The Real Ushers of Sweet Home Alabama Living in His Amazing Grace Baptist Church.”

3. Donald Trump holds a press conference to reveal that that is not his natural hairline.

2. Walmart begins to advertise and sell “End of the World Kits” that include a box of crunch munch, confetti and binoculars, so that as you ascend, you can see all the poor suckers left behind.

1. Not only is “Dancing With the Stars” given another season, it is revealed that both Oprah and her best gal pal Gayle will be competing.

Share your best pre-rapture signs in the comments section below, but before you float-float on, live your life to the fullest…smile.

Joakim Noah Apologizes for Gay Slur

I do not follow sports so I was not aware of this guy, Joakim Noah.  He apparently was caught using a gay slur towards a fan.

TMZ reports that Noah said, "I apologize. The fan said something to me that I thought was disrespectful, and I got caught up in the moment, and I said some things that I shouldn't have said. I was frustrated and I don't mean no disrespect to anybody. I just got caught up."

Noah can expect to be fined for the incident. (Kobe Bryant was fined $100,000 for a similar incident.)

Noah was caught on camera screaming at a fan by the bench and capped it off by yelling, "F**k you, f**got."

What if we could fine regular civillians for using that word.  All the gays and lesbians could retire early.  The hell with waiting for America to legalize gay marriage we could just buy Canada...lol.

Hello, are you not on a national sports team and do you not realize the game is being televisied and they have cameras on you all the time.  He is cute but a little slow....smile.

That is a very expensive lesson to learn.  Who gets that money anyway and is that all he has to do?  That is like 10 bucks to these guys. 

He should have to do community service for Rupaul's Drag Race and the money should go to struggling, empoverished young Drag Queens who cannot afford decent costumes and padding....lol

What a shame such ugly words coming from such a good looking guy.  

Whitney Houston Banned from Prince Concerts

Whitney Houston has been banned from the court and concerts of his Royal Purpleness, Prince. 

Whitney has attended several Prince concerts along with her daughter Bobby Kristina and has shown out at each one.

The singer, who is currently in rehab for drug and alcohol dependency, has been banned from any future concerts (for the time being) because of her "erratic behavior and constant ticket demands," reports TMZ.

Houston had been badgering the Prince camp for tickets and request to sing with his Royalness on stage. 

Houston seemed to be intoxicated at each concert. 

Prince finally decided to ban her from any concerts because he "didn't want her to embarrass herself."

Hello, did he see any of the episodes from Being Bobby Brown?  You could not top that level of embarrassment if you tried...lol. 

We wish the Diva well in her time of recovery and hopefully the ban will be lifted once she can attend without showing out.

End of The World

We all knew it was coming sooner or later. Well according  to a  Christian Group called Project Caravan the world will end on May 21, 2011.  "The end of the world is almost here," Project Caravan proclaims on its radio station, its billboards, its leaflets and its website. "The bible guarantees it."

The group has hit the open road and driven all over the country telling people of the inevitable apocolypse.  I know if I knew the world was going to end I could not think of a better way to spend the last days in an RV with a bunch of holy rollers. 

We have all seen the signs, crazy weather patterns, dead birds falling from the sky, hundreds of dead fish wash up on the beach in New Zealand, All My Children is cancelled, Oprah leaves daytime television and another season of Dancing With the Stars and Jersey Shore....lol.   

The signs are clear people we are living in the last days!

I often thought about what would I do if I knew the end was coming?

I offer Professor Locs Top Five End of World Decisions:

5. I want to eat myself into a fried food diabetic coma.

4. I want to run up a rediculous bar tab at an expensive and exclusive club.

3. I want to tell my creditors that I will settle my account on May 23, 2011

2. I want to take a Lamborghini out for a test drive and not come back.

1.  I want to pimp slap all the bad customer service people I come in contact with.

What is your doomsday to do list?

Mom Beats Son for Stealing To Buy A Book

A Deleware Mom went old school on her son who apparently stole a check from her purse to purchase a book from his schools book fair.  The Mom beat the 9 year old with an extension cord for stealing a check out of her purse.

Serena Wardlaw, 42, of Briarcliff Drive in the New Castle, Del. community of Overview Gardens was arrested on four counts of assault and five counts of endangering the welfare of a child, police say.

The school nurse observed the bruises and apparently the authorities were alerted.

I know this is extreme.  I was brought up to believe that as a man you never went into a womans purse!

Your Mom's purse was like the forbidden land or the twilight zone. 

I don't care if my Mom was have an asthma attack, if her inhaler was in her purse I was not going in there for it....lol.

I'm all for reading is fundamental but there is an African proverb that basically states that you should chastise a child when he brings home an egg or the next time he might bring home an ox or something along those words.

The point is you need to handle things so the child knows early on you mean business.

Besides look at that woman's picture, doesn't she look like a no non-sense Mom to you?

CNN Anchor Comes Out

Just when you thought it was getting too crowded in the closet, a CNN anchor comes out as gay.  In a new book, "Transparent," Lemon talks about his life and his sexuality, and he revealed that he is gay in an interview with the New York Times.

Lemon becomes part of a small club of openly gay anchors. This is really a bold move on his part.

In the interview, Lemon said that he has never hidden his sexuality from his co-workers at CNN, but decided to take a more public step after he felt that he could not write an inspirational book without being open about who he is.

Truth be told he was never really hiding it from us either....how you doing Lemon.....smile!

Lemon also said that he was "scared," because he was talking about things that "people might shun me for." He said that he was particularly concerned about what the reaction in the black community would be.

You think?  It is sad that still in the African-American community an educated, successful and prominent media figure would still fear being ostracized.  We obviously still have work to do.  What does this say for just normal folks who are not as prominent as Lemon? 

If an established journalist is scared then what becomes of say a youth struggling with their identity and sexuality?

I have seen Lemon on CNN and I am glad he is out of the closet but it was pretty obvious to me that he was gay.   Anyway score one for the team.....smile!

Thor: Film Review

Hey guys so I took a few days off and treated myself to some move time.  I had seen the trailer for Thor and was excited about seeing the film. 

I have to have a side rant before I start the review. I get to the theater and there is a four dollar sur charge on 3D films. I was like I am not paying an extra four dollars for 3D.  Enough with 3D movies already, next we will have to suffer through Tyler Perry's, Madea's Old School Country Family Reunion in 3D, where you get to see Madea's ample bosom coming right at you.  The last film I saw in 3D was Clash of the Titans and the only 3D in the film was the opening sequence. I was sitting there looking like Roy Orbison for 2 hours for nothing. 

Back to the theater.  I fork out my money to a guy in the booth that did not say, hello, thank you or enjoy your movie and I hope you choke on your popcorn.  I detest folks who work in customer service and do not give any. 

Finally get to my seat with my customary drink, small popcorn and smuggled milk duds.  I draw the line at paying that much for candy.  I take my seat in the strategic middle section.

Let me tell you Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor is worth the ticket price.  The scene where he is just in jeans is some serious silver screen eye candy. 

Although I am a comic book geek I was not a huge fan of Thor so I was not as well read on his origin so I could watch the film with say a less critical eye than the Xmen series. 

The movie kept moving with the storyline switching effectively between Asgard and Earth. 

I even found Natalie Portman, who typically gets on my nerves, to be entertaining.  But not as entertaining as her femail sidekick.  There are some very funny scenes that play off of Thor's ackward introduction to our world.  When they are in the diner and Thor breaks his coffee cup and demands more coffee and also when he enters the pet store and wants a horse....too funny.

There are some flaws in the story line. Loki, who is suppose to be the master of sorcery only performs a few tricks that most birthday clowns could pull off, disappointing.  The secondary story line of the Ice Giants and their world yield some of the best action scenes.  The CG work in the film is spectacular. 

I enjoyed the backdrop of Asgard and the general aesthetic. 

Another sidenote if you follow Hollywood films then according to the film  Legion there are no ethnic people in heaven.  Asgard however is very diverse and even has Idris Elba working for Odin, the king, as the Asgardian version of an airport ticket agent.  But hey Asgard seems to have more Black folks working than our present economy. 

Thor keeps the action going until the end.  It was definitely worth seeing at the theater. 

You can tell the die hard comic book geeks becasue we have learned that you have to sit through the credits to see clues for the next film. Thor is no different so make sure you stay until the very end for the last scene. They are definitely setting you up for the new Avengers team.

Sidenote I was an usher so I understand the pressure to get the theater clean before the next show but if you see me sitting there then do not stand in front of me sweeping like you are wearing Harry Potters' cloak of invisibility fool!
