Social Media “Likes” and Validation – Why it’s a “Big Deal”

Posted by Rock Kitaro on August 11, 2022
Posted in: About the Author, Essays, Food for Thought. Tagged: artists, aspiring artist, author, creative writing, encouragement, friends and family, gas-lighting, independent artist, indie artist, intellectual, Memes, musician, new author, philosophy, promotion, rapper, writing. Leave a comment

This is a little embarrassing to admit because…as men, we’re told we have to be “masculine” and apparently everyone’s coming up with their own pre-conceived notions of what masculinity is…but if you know me, then you know honesty is forte. 

This is about getting Likes or even Emojis for your work, posts, and social media. Essentially, it is “validation.” It’s cool to say things like, “I don’t NEED any validation”. Sure, sure. 

The truth is…I don’t “NEED” it. But would I like it? Absolutely! Why does anyone post ANYTHING, if not to share and get some kind of reaction or validation back from the people who “follow” them. This isn’t a bad thing. We’re humans living in the age of technology. Once upon a time, we had local fairs and town squares. Now, we have social media.

Posted by Rock Kitaro on August 7, 2022
Posted in: About the Author. Tagged: Bible, Bible lessons, Christian, Christianity, God, Jesus Christ, king saul, ministry, Modern Christians, patience, philosophy, prayer. Leave a comment

I’m almost done with my third reading of 1 Samuel and I had to get my thoughts down about King Saul, the first King of Israel.

There’s so many lessons here that we can apply to our own lives, in today’s modern world. Mainly, the importance of patience and obeying God’s commandments even in the face of overwhelming pressure and anxiety.

Points Discussed:
Modern-Day Christians Want God to Help Them Right Away?
Why Some Humans Prefer Human Leadership over God’s Leadership – @1:20
Lack of Patience Under Intense Pressure – @3:48
Saul Failed with the Amalekites – @5:22
Obeying God’s Commandments is Better than Sacrifices – @7:18
If God Doesn’t Answer Your Prayers, Will You Reject God? – @8:32
Saul Relied on Mediums – @10:10

Have Black Men (or Single Men in General) Abandoned the Church?  

Posted by Rock Kitaro on August 5, 2022
Posted in: Food for Thought, News and Updates. Tagged: black church, Black Men, black women, Christian, christian feminist, Christianity, dating, dating culture, Jesus Christ, married, masculinity, singles ministry, southern baptist, td jakes, the church, wife, woke church. 2 Comments

Is it true that Black Men have “abandoned the church”? Clearly, there are still black men going to church. It’s not like you’ll walk into one and NOT see a black guy.  

But from watching the pastors on Jason Whitlock’s show and hearing Kevin Samuels over the past few years, there does seem to be this perception that “black men have given up on the churches”. I thought this was strange. And personally, I’d have no way of knowing whether any of this is true…because *chuckles nervously* as a black guy, I don’t go to church. 

First off, I want to make it clear that I don’t think churches, religious assemblies, and congregations are bad. I truly believe church and congregations are great and amazing events. The Old Testament taught that God loves assemblies. So, being that I’m a Christian…why don’t I go to one? 

The issues I’m going to bring up may be reasons why other men have stopped going and we’re just too embarrassed to admit it. I haven’t seen anyone else address or mention the MAIN reason why I personally don’t go…So here goes… 

THE CHURCH HAS CAVED TO MODERN WOKE IDEOLOGY – 

Let’s begin by addressing the common reasons I heard about why Black Men have stopped going to the church. Mainly, the sentiment is that the message, the pastors and ministers, have stopped preaching the Truth. Instead, the “Truth” is being watered down to walk lock-step with today’s woke ideologies. And in turn, they’re catering to women, telling women what they want to hear, instead of what the Bible actually says.

The Will Smith Apology – Why Black Men Were Mad

Posted by Rock Kitaro on July 30, 2022
Posted in: Food for Thought, News and Updates. Tagged: black culture, Black Men, chris rock, Christianity, families, fathers, fresh prince, hip hop, jada pinkett smith, Jesus Christ, pop culture, rap music, red table talk, role models, sigma male, single parent homes, will smith, will smith apology, will smith slap. Leave a comment

For this one, I had to get my thoughts down about Will Smith. I didn’t speak up or publish any essays about the Will Smith/Chris Rock slap when it first happened because everyone was talking about it. But for this, I want to focus on the perspective of young black men “like myself” (not ALL black men) and why we were especially upset/disappointed with Will Smith.

Just a heads up, I’m very critical of Black Culture in this video and I talk about Christianity towards the end.

Points Discussed:

  • Will Smith was a Good Role Model for Black Men
  • I Don’t Believe in Cancel Culture
  • Protecting Black Women
  • Feminism
  • Prisons are Filled With Black Men
  • We Worship and Prop Up the Wrong Influencers
  • Why Father Figures are Important
  • Andrew Tate
  • Men Are Responsible for their Own Actions
  • Men are Supposed to Lead
  • Don’t be to Proud to Apologize

Solutions to Problems in the Black Community – Jason Whitlock Criticism

Posted by Rock Kitaro on July 23, 2022
Posted in: Christianity, Food for Thought. Tagged: black community, black culture, Christian, Christianity, church, fearless army, God, jason whitlock, Jesus Christ, stage in the sky. 6 Comments

Recently, Jason Whitlock received a letter from a woman where she criticized him for talking about the problems in the Black Community, but not coming up with solutions. So, I had to get some thoughts down. Because I don’t believe for one second that she’s actually looking for solutions. She’s looking to shame Jason into silence so wickedness can continue. 

What I’m going to say is going to sound shameful by today’s standards. People will think that I’m an awful person or I’m a self-hating Black. But I’ve been holding it in for a long time. So here goes.

I’m not a fan of today’s Black Culture…and by Black Culture, I’m talking about the stereotypes, the mainstream lifestyles, behaviors, and mindsets promoted by today’s black entertainers and cultural leaders.

When I heard the lady’s criticism of Jason Whitlock, I literally stopped everything while getting ready for work to record a video about it. I had to.

Honest Thoughts from a Single Christian Man in America

Posted by Rock Kitaro on June 28, 2022
Posted in: About the Author, Christianity, religion. Tagged: christian men, Christianity, christians in America, creative writing, funny, God, indie author, Jesus Christ, modern christianity, red pill, rock kitaro, Rock Tennie, sigma male, single men, stage in the sky, writing. 5 Comments

For those who don’t know, I’m Rock Kitaro (Tennie) an author, essayist and a good-natured provoker of thoughts. I’m the unpopular opinion, currently publishing essays at StageInTheSky.com.

This was from my first live stream. It started out as me just testing the studio equipment…but rolled into a beautiful sermon of sorts. I honestly felt the Holy Spirit wash over me with this one. None of it was planned. None of it was written out. I usually mess up my words, which is why I edit them in videos of my essays, but for this Live Stream…it was incredible. I had to be careful because it’s the first time I spoke my honest thoughts about subjects that could get me in trouble while showing my actual face speaking the words. But that just goes to speak of how wicked this world has become…when saying the right thing, doing the right thing, and doing what’s good in God’s eyes can get you fired.

Topics Discussed:

  • Going all-in in Christianity
  • Do Christians Today Know what Christ Taught?
  • How I went from Rejecting Religion to Reading the Entire Bible
  • How the World’s Ideologies (Feminism, Leftism) Conflicts with Bible Principles
  • Strong and Independent, Trying to Find a Wife
  • Attacking Popular Movements (BelieveAllWomen, Submission)
  • I’d Rather Get Something Done than Hang Out with Friends

Why Good Men Can’t Stay Silent – The Roe v. Wade Decision

Posted by Rock Kitaro on June 25, 2022

Tagged: abortion arguments, abortion rights, banned abortion, Christian, christian beliefs, christian men, Christianity, church, conception, God, Jesus Christ, my body my choice, pro-choice, pro-life, roe v wade, roe v wade overturned. 5 Comments

In the wake of Roe v Wade being overturned by the Supreme Court, many Youtubers were asking their followers (mostly black men) what they think. And sadly…what I’ve been seeing is this notion of “we gotta stay silent.”

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard such sentiments. Comedians have been preaching it to their audiences for years. “When it comes to abortion, we men need to shut the eff up” I believe Chappelle said, which was followed by raucous applause.

This was the comment from a Youtuber on the topic of Roe v Wade being overturned, “I’ve noticed when it comes to black women bodies and their sisterhood it’s best to say quiet fellas . All we can do is wrap it up and avoid a 18-year problem.”

Honestly, after seeing what’s been going on and recognizing the need for Men to actually step up and lead…I had to respond with this: “We can’t stay silent, bro. Unchecked immoral behavior is what’s led to the decline of our culture, society, and the increase of black children being born out of wedlock. We need to speak up. Some women need to be told something other than what stupid ideologues have been feeding them. We need to step up!”

Deuteronomy – Appreciating the Severity of God’s Justice 

Posted by Rock Kitaro on May 16, 2022
Posted in: Christianity, Essays, religion. Tagged: Bible, bible laws, Bible lessons, bible prophecies, capital punishment, Christianity, Christians, creative writing, crime and punishment, death penalty, dennis prager, deuteronomy, empathy, Jeremiah, Jesus Christ, judaism, justice, justice system, king solomon, prison marriage. 1 Comment

Is it bad that I wish we could go back to the Old Testament laws? One of the things I like to say about the Bible is the New Testament teaches us the Gospels (Greek for good news), but the Old Testament teaches us about God’s character. 

This is my 3rd reading of Deuteronomy and I confess…it’s getting really difficult to see what’s happening in the world and not harbor all kinds of hate and resentment in my heart. It’s tough because, as Christ said, we as Christians should be the light of the world. I want to be an example of shining optimism, fully believing in the hope of everlasting life beyond this world…but lately, I’ve been this guy.  

For those who don’t know, Deuteronomy is the 5th Book of the Bible penned by Moses as God’s Word. Aside from the recap of Israel’s exodus from Egypt and their blunder that resulted in most of a generation perishing in the wilderness, Deuteronomy is essentially a book of laws, of traditions, of warnings, of blessings and curses. It’s the ultimate book of “cause and effect.” The answer to the question of, “WHY ARE THINGS SO BAD!?”

As I’m going through, I’m reminded of the brutal punishments God laid out for specific crimes and…i know this sounds bad, but I kinda wish we could go back to that. Part of me wishes we could go back to capital punishment for things like rape and adultery. 

“But Rock! If those old laws were put in place, there’d be no one left alive!”

All of the Benefits but None of the Conditions – Marriage and Salvation

Posted by Rock Kitaro on May 1, 2022

So…came across one of Melanie King’s videos where, once again, a lady’s confirming what a lot of guys have been saying about the dating culture these days. But don’t worry. I’m also going to hit at Male Leadership and why we as Christians need to stand firm. 

In the beginning of the video, the soon-to-be divorced woman says, “you can’t dress a certain way and you can’t post sexy pictures on social media. But I dressed a certain way when I first met you!”…she says this to complain that her husband was “controlling”.  

Couple of thoughts here. First, you could say that this is just who she is, sexual and sensual, and a man has no right to change her. “WOMEN AREN’T DRESSED TO IMPRESS YOU! WE DRESS LIKE THIS BECAUSE IT MAKES US HAPPY!”  

Right, if you’re in that camp, this essay ain’t for you. I’m talking to the real ones out here who respect straight-forward honesty. I’m talking to the ladies who know they dress a certain way and posts pictures WITH THE INTENT of getting attention, attracting a mate. This doesn’t have to mean slutty or half-naked pictures…but come on. I’ve seen many of sistahs fully clothed in dresses that tell me everything I need to know and I’m like…

60-Year-Olds Marrying 18-Year-Olds: My Unpopular Opinion

Posted by Rock Kitaro on March 27, 2022

Recently, news broke about a 63-year-old Pastor out of Iowa who married an 18-year-old woman after her birthday. People are outraged. They’re saying this is wrong. And yet…something seems odd here. For some reason, I find the reactions more interesting than the Pastor and his young Bride.  

This isn’t the first time in recent memory that I saw a story of an older man marrying a just-now-legal woman. Last October, a 61-year-old man married his 18-year-old goddaughter.  

Again, outrage ensued. The general complaint was, this is an “older man preying on young, naïve, and inexperienced” girls.   

“That’s because it’s disgusting. It’s creepy. Who cares what the law says, it’s just wrong! Right, Rock? …Rock?”

Apparently Women Want Tall Men…Just Not You

Posted by Rock Kitaro on March 20, 2022
Posted in: Essays, Food for Thought, romance. Tagged: beautiful women, beauty, being tall, Christian, cold approach, creative writing, dating sites, modern dating, modern women, online dating, six feet tall, tall men, validation, wanting tall men, women, writing. 4 Comments

Don’t worry, this is gonna be lighthearted and easy. Feel free to comment and poke fun. It goes out to all the tall guys out there who went their whole lives not knowing that being tall was something Women liked about you. For those who aren’t tall…hopefully this gives you a different perspective.

Women like tall men…Is that a myth? Or is it true? The subject came up during a Youtube discussion where I said that I can’t do the “Cold Approach” and mentioned that I’m 6’3, 235lbs (among many other reasons).  

 A Commenter asked, “You can’t cold approach because you think your size intimidates women?” 

 Another one followed up with, “I am 5’9.5 being 6’3 is a plus in the dating market.” 

This isn’t the first time I’ve been met with such skepticism. Nowadays, it’s out in the open. More and more women are upfront and honest about their desire for tall guys. It’s on their dating profiles. They put it in the comments section. Everyone wants it. They’re looking for men six feet or taller.  

So…maybe it’s just me. Maybe it’s just my rotten luck in life. Maybe it’s because I’m so ugly that it cancels out the fact that I am indeed taller than most men. But for the life of me, I never knew my height was such a desirable thing until a few years ago. I’m 35.   

Now, before I get into the dating side of it, allow me to share what it was like growing up as one of the tallest dudes in the room.  In the above picture, I was already the tallest in my family when I was 15.

Being Tricked and Lied To: Single-Mothers and Picking the Wrong Guy

Posted by Rock Kitaro on February 19, 2022
Posted in: Christianity, Essays, romance. Tagged: Black Families, black mothers, children outside of wedlock, Christians, empowerment, gospel, Jesus Christ, modern women, nba youngboy, nick cannon, red pill, rihanna, singe-parent household, Single Mothers, step-child, step-dad, step-father, unplanned parenthood, writing. 3 Comments

I was tricked! I was misled! They lied to me! Everybody makes mistakes! They gave me false hope! Deep within these statements is an acknowledgement that so many try to detach themselves from. If you were fooled…that means you were a fool. It means You messed up. 

This is important to point out because if you don’t, you’re essentially saying there’s nothing (or very little) you could’ve done to avoid your situation in life. The purpose of this essay isn’t to belittle people, but to empower them. Not the social justice way where everything hinges on how everyone else treats you and whether or not they accept you…but to give you greater control of yourself, strengthening you to believe that whatever happens to you, is because of you.

Step one to change is awareness. This means calling out all the lies and helping you acknowledge the truth. The truth doesn’t always sound pleasant. So if it sounds like I’m “attacking you,” please believe that it’s out of love that I write these things. But when it comes to single mothers and children being born out of wedlock, this issue is something I find myself deeply passionate about.

And of course, I know have to tread with caution. I think a big reason why the harsh truths about this subject isn’t talked about so openly…is because it would mean criticizing a lot of people we may know, love, and care about, especially in the black community. A lot of us were raised by strong single mothers. Our sisters and cousins are single mothers. We’d sooner hurt ourselves than intentionally cause them pain, such as talking about this touchy subject. But if we don’t talk about it because we’re so afraid of hurting people’s feelings…how will things ever change? Do we have any right to complain when none of us lifts a finger or says a word to point out what we need to be doing? So here I go…

I Was Asked if I Dated “Intelligent Women”…

Posted by Rock Kitaro on February 5, 2022
Posted in: Food for Thought, romance. Tagged: amwriting, bumble, christian dating, dating preferences, dating smart people, dating standards, Intelligence, intelligent women, online dating, relationships, sexual experience, sigma male, sigma man, smart people, smart women, tinder. 6 Comments

I had a conversation with Marisol…the 34-year-old Atheist on my boss’s old radio show. I said I’d be willing to date a woman as young as 18, not that I’d prioritize dating someone so young, but that I was willing to. She was shocked. 

That’s when Marisol said, “wouldn’t you like a woman with more experience, and someone you had more in common with? I mean, don’t you like intelligent women?” 

The thing is…more and more, intelligence is starting to sound like a subjective matter. A career bank-robber can have intelligence to successfully pull off a heist but is incredibly stupid when it comes to thinking the law won’t catch up with them and they’ll have to serve time.  

In regard to Marisol’s question…this is going to sound extremely vain, but it’s my honest thoughts and I don’t particularly think I’m wrong.

The Hidden Truth About Today’s Dating Culture – What Wise Men See

Posted by Rock Kitaro on December 20, 2021
Posted in: religion, romance. Tagged: beauty, christian male, christian women, confident men, creative writing, dating culture, dating trends, divorce, feminism, good men, hook-ups, Jesus Christ, masculinity, millennials, online dating, relationships, sigma male, writing. 4 Comments

This one goes out to my Dad, the already married folks, and the old-school generation who have no clue what the dating culture is like these days. Because I feel bad for him every time he asks about my dating. I know he wants a grandchild so bad. But this world is so bad…I have to be selective. I have to be wise and discerning. 

In this essay, I’ve included plenty of Youtube videos so you can see that it’s not just me saying this. And it’s not just Men recognizing the issues, but more and more Women are speaking up, because it affects them too. However, for us men, we have to be careful with providing our perspective because we run the risk of being called a misogynist. God knows I love women. I credit beautiful women as one of my greatest sources of motivation. Beautiful women inspired me to hit the gym and lose 178lbs. Women inspired me to want to make something of myself, becoming a published author and excelling in life. 

And to the ladies reading this…One thing you’ll notice is that I don’t make any demands of women. You won’t hear me say things like women need to change, step up, or be better. Mostly because, despite the many examples you’ll see, it hasn’t warped the fact that I know there are already good, beautiful, God-fearing women who don’t shy away from the Scriptures. But finding these ladies, connecting with them, how to approach them…it’s not like the old days. My generation has ruined that.

Top 10 Ways the Bible Changed My Life: #10. The Truth Set Me Free from this World

Posted by Rock Kitaro on December 27, 2020
Posted in: Christianity, Essays, Food for Thought. Tagged: christian sigma, Freedom, gender roles, good men, Jesus Christ, liberal, Millennial Christian, Peer Pressure, set free, sex, worldly influence. Leave a comment

In reading the Bible cover to cover, the biggest change of my life is that it freed me from this world. Life is so much more fulfilling now…now that I know my purpose and the blessings that’ll come from simply enduring until the end.

My relationship with human beings…it’s a love/hate relationship. I have so much compassion for them as my brethren and God’s created children. But I also feel the same indignation any brother would feel when you see them walking down a path of destruction, especially when you know what our parents told us. And just like any brother when everyone’s all grown up, you have to accept that your siblings are free to make their own decisions, they’re own choices.

Imagine this…Everyone’s on the Titanic and we’re told the ship is going to sink at some point. You look around and everyone’s having a good time but because you heard the captain, you know the Titanic is going to get hit by an iceberg. You don’t know when. So you’re told to remain awake. If you accept the captain’s orders and do what you’re told, your place is reserved on the lifeboats. But everyone else…they’re going down with the ship.

It hasn’t happened yet. And because it hasn’t happened, despite being told to stay awake for so long…the people lack faith. They stop believing. They say the captain’s orders don’t make sense. They begin to think they know better than the captain. They criticize and make fun of you for following the captain’s orders instead of indulging in the fun inebriation they lose themselves in. Even the ones who believed in the beginning start to fall away. They see everyone else having a good ole’ time, sleeping and partying, so they think to themselves that maybe the ship won’t sink after all. They stop following orders. They ignore the captain.

Then the inevitable happens. The ship hits an iceberg. The massive Titanic that everyone had so much faith in, that they believed was unsinkable…it begins to list. Chaos and panic ensues. Just as the captain warned, the only ones who will be saved on the lifeboats are the ones who obeyed his commands until the end.

Jesus Christ teaches us to love our brothers and sisters, to love our fellow neighbors as we would ourselves. If I was in one of those lifeboats watching as the ship went down…I imagine I’d be clenching my teeth in grief and frustration. I’d wish I didn’t care…but God knows I do. Those are my brothers and sisters on that ship.

Is Jesus Christ Really God Himself Incarnate?

Posted by Rock Kitaro on April 12, 2020
Posted in: Christianity, religion, truth. Tagged: Bible Truth, Book of John, Catholic, Catholicism, Christian, Christianity, Holy Spirit, Holy Trinity, Jehovah, Jehovah's Witnesses, Jesus Christ. 4 Comments

All my life, I believed that Jesus Christ was the son of God. Two years ago, I was told something different. I was told that Jesus was not only the son of God the way I think of a father and his son…but that Jesus Christ was God himself in the flesh, that Jesus Christ and God are the same person.

In this essay…I’m going to break down my pursuit of the truth. And mind you, everything I’m about to reveal is just my interpretation of the scriptures. I could very well be wrong. However, as a Christian, I believe it’s my responsibility to learn and make a decision about what I believe is the truth. Thus, when I stand before God, it won’t be with this indifferent attitude of “…well, I heard this and that…But I’m not sure what I believe.”

On that note…before you begin, I encourage you to pray. Remember, it’s by the grace of God that we receive our understanding.

Just to give you a little background about who I am. I’m a black 33-year-old Christian Conservative born and raised here in the States. I’ve never been to any Christian College or Theocratic School. I’m not a member of any church or congregation. I have no denomination. That isn’t to slight organized religions. I know God loves assemblies. I’m just a man who decided to pick up the Bible and read it cover to cover. To learn for myself why things are the way they are? How did it come to this? Is there any hope? What should I do? What is right? What is wrong?

So why am I questioning who Jesus Christ really was?

Because of a Lutheran.

Haha, so…at the age of 30 (in 2017) and having already read the Bible once in its entirety, I made up my mind to find a wife, a woman who also endeavors to do what’s good in God’s eyes. That’s easier said than done in today’s woke secular culture, unless you’re part of a congregation. I am not.

I attend the Jehovah’s Witnesses Memorial every year, but I couldn’t attend their meetings on a regular basis because it reminded me of the turmoil of my youth. They study these articles in magazines called “Watchtowers,” where a lot of the substance is about how to be a better Jehovah Witness. Since I’m not a Witness, I felt like an outsider. Alone, despite surrounded by others. Continue Reading

Discovering the Sigma Male – We’re Not All Betas and Alphas

Posted by Rock Kitaro on March 24, 2020
Posted in: About the Author, Essays, truth. Tagged: alphas, attraction, betas, Christianity, feminism, omega, red pill, sex, sigma, sigma males. 1 Comment

First off, I want you to know that I in no way take these labels too seriously. You’re about to read about personalities, stereotypes, Feminism, and Red Pill Philosophy that may sound offensive, as if I’m saying one is better than the other. I’m not. Different does not mean better.

Jax 3

Discovering the Sigma Male – We’re Not All Betas and Alphas

Growing up in my teens, one of the biggest frustrations was that my own peers had a difficult time understanding me. This is important to any youth…because we barely understand ourselves. When everyone around you seems to behave similarly, fitting in with the culture and trends, where everyone seems to have their own little clique except for you…you begin to think, “Maybe there’s something wrong with me.”

Clark 3

In fact, most people used to describe me as happy and friendly, always smiling and laughing. They’re not wrong. At the same time, they had no idea about the amount of anger and resentment I had pent up. Every year, I had a different best friend. If I wanted (needed) to, I could blend in with whatever scene I was part of. Whether it was hood/goths/ anime geeks/Save By the Bell pranksters/or Drama Club techies.

I never wanted to shoot up the school or anything like that. Just always had a chip on my shoulder to graduate and get the fuck up out of my parent’s house as soon as possible. I love my parents now, but back then…let’s just say it takes mental effort to fight back all the hate and focus on the good times. Back then, leaving the nest was my number one goal. My focused mission…And if you read my essay about the time my mom tried to have me arrested, it should sum it up.

The Knights with No Lords: Chapter 9 – About Pellinore…(Fantasy Fiction)

Posted by Rock Kitaro on October 5, 2018
Posted in: About the Author, Knights With No Lords. Tagged: fiction, King Arthur, knights fiction, Pellinore, reading, ruthless, violent knights. Leave a comment

Pellinore’s got issues. Probably the most hated man in Britannia, Pellinore is the ruthless mercenary leader of the Brood of the Black Bloods. He’s only twenty-two, but everyone knows he’s a legend in the making. And as with most legends, Pellinore’s story isn’t a pleasant one. The bastard son of a barbaric knight. A child who was ripped from his mother’s arms. The stigma of forever battling the very idea of becoming just like his sadistic father…indeed there is a lot of pain masked behind his demented laughter.

Chapter 9 - About Pellinore

Chapter 9 – About Pellinore…
By Rock Kitaro

It was a turbulent world of warring clans and backstabbing kings. Death was always just looming over the horizon like a volcano waiting to erupt mayhem down on the beleaguered villagers. The meek and innocent lamented being born in the Dark Ages. There was no end to the threat of raids and pillaging. There wasn’t a moment’s peace, no hope, no security. Only the strong survived. Only the ruthless felt right at home in the midst of the chaos and destruction.

In that regards, one man possessed probably more strength and ruthlessness than any one of his peers or contemporaries. Before he reached the fiery age of twenty-two, his name would be loathed by nearly every clan in Britannia. His name was Pellinore, the dark gristly haired wolf who sank his teeth in and never let go. The man who can’t cry.

Pellinore was born in a small mining village outside the castle of Listenoise. His mother was the homely daughter of a coal worker. But his father was one of the most barbaric knights the world’s ever seen, a cold-blooded ax-murderer named Sir Pellam.

Sen. Tiara Mack Twerking – An Unpopular Opinion

Posted by Rock Kitaro on July 8, 2022
Posted in: News and Updates. Tagged: black community, christian leadership, Christians, judgmental christians, secular society, sen. tiara mack, senator twerking, tiara mack, twerking. 1 Comment

Long story short…sex sells and until she twerked upside down on a beach, I didn’t even know her name.

I want to make it clear that I don’t condone what she did, but something compelled me to be honest here. I know she’s not into men. I certainly hope she doesn’t get re-elected after this stunt and the response video she made where she basically told people to kick rocks…but this shameful behavior shouldn’t be too surprising.

Seriously, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next president was caught doing lines in the Oval Office. When a society like ours moves away from the Scriptures, yet a lot of them honestly believe that God accepts their bad behavior and they’re proudly doing what God wants them to do…all I can do is shake my head, try to educate others with the truth and just keep on moving, day by day, praying for the strength, patience, and wisdom to endure till the end.

We need to be more judgmental, especially in the Black Community. This fear of “I don’t want to be judgmental” and “it’s not my place to judge” is why a lot of people are simply allowing their friends, family, and associates to descend into failure under the messed up logic of, “that’s they’re life and they’re free to do what they want.”

“But Rock. How is that messed up logic? It’s the truth!”

It’s “messed up logic” because we live in a society. Perhaps I should work on an essay about how everything is Connected: from this thing called “Perception,” such as how Black People are perceived based on the actions and behavior of the black stereotypes the media shows on TV, down to the men and women who are raised in single-parent households who go on to commit crime and drain resources from the government…it’s not just “they’re” life.

If you raise children to be polite, respectful, and hard-working, you are contributing to a good, decent, and moral society. If you think it’s okay for 6-year-olds girls to go twerking and little black boys to curse to hip hop songs that’s all about robbing and treating women like whores…what do you think you’re doing to the society?

I’m not saying we should stop them physically against their will…but call it what it is. And if you’re not going to say something, at the very least, don’t nod along and smile because you’re too afraid of making them feel bad. (hint, they should feel bad)

The Truth about Ruth and Boaz – Christian Red Pill

Posted by Rock Kitaro on July 3, 2022
Posted in: Christianity, religion. Tagged: Bible, boaz, christian women, Christianity, Jesus Christ, kevin samuels, ministry, proverbs 31, red pill, religion, ruth, ruth and boaz, sigma, stage in the sky, writing. Leave a comment

Kevin Samuels used to say, “Y’all want a Boaz, but y’all not Ruth!” After reading the Book of Ruth for the 3rd time and taking the criticism into consideration, I had some thoughts here.

Points Discussed:

  • What Happens when People Do What’s Good in their Own Eyes
  • The Levite’s Concubine (Gibeah’s Crime) and how Women were Treated
  • Boaz as a Role Model for Men
  • Ruth as a Role Model for Women
  • Marriage and Divorce
  • A Biblical High-Value Man
  • Ruth MADE THE FIRST MOVE!

As always, I encourage everyone to read the Bible for themselves. Don’t just rely on the pastor or what someone told you the Bible says. Go to the source. Read it for yourself. Use your own mind to make conclusions about what you believe. God bless!
