The Truth About Adultery and Divorce – A Theocratic Essay

Half of all marriages end in divorce, they say. Are they justified? Who decides? Jesus had some thoughts on the subject. It wasn’t until recently that I finally understood. lol, we humans think we’re so slick.

The Truth About Adultery and Divorce – A Theocratic Essay

MIKA – HAPPY ENDING

https://stageinthesky.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/MIKA-Happy-Ending.mp3

Remember who is the father of the lie. Keep in mind that lies are enticing because sometimes they tell us what we want to hear. The truth can be painful because it exposes what some of us wish to hide. But to God…there is no hiding. Even if you lie to others, even if you lie to yourself, He can see your deepest intent, he knows what’s in your heart. There is no fooling him.

So when you divorce your spouse because “you’re just not happy anymore” or because “he’s not the same person you once knew” or because “you don’t deserve to live the rest of your life in an abusive relationship.”…it’s in your best interest to acknowledge that God knows the truth. These are all convenient excuses our modern society accepts for ending marriages.

But how does God feel about it? What did Jesus say about it? Do you want to know? Or are you just content with how humans view it…especially if they’re telling you what you want to hear?

During Jesus’s famous Sermon on the Mount, he told the people, “Everyone divorcing his wife, except on account of sexual immorality, makes her a subject for adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” (Matt. 5:32)

What? I’ve read that scripture so many times, and I confess, I never truly understood it. How is it that a man who marries a divorced woman, commits adultery? How does a husband subject his wife to adultery by divorcing her? It didn’t make sense. Continue Reading

She Hates You, Because She Likes You – A Romantic Theory

She Hates You Because She Likes You – A Romantic Theory
By Rock Kitaro

Hate+and+Love

Before you get the wrong idea and think that this is dating advice, let me clarify that it’s not. The following is yet another observational theory in which I explain a romantic phenomenon that’s been told since antiquity.

red_pill_blue_pill-copy3

Also, warning! This is one of those blue-pill, red-pill moments. Once you read this, your thought process will probably never be the same. Your eyes will be opened and there’s no going back.

This is an idea that I came up with back when I was 21. I’ve said it to several friends but I had no idea the concept would apply to senior citizens. When my grandmother heard it just yesterday. She told me, “I gotta give it to you, Rock. You really are one smart dude.”

Let me explain.

My grandmother, in her late-70s, was telling me about a pastor at her church who seems to despise her. Always making backhanded statements and displaying a bitter attitude. She goes to shake his hand, and he doesn’t even make eye contact with her. He talks about her behind her back and even goes so far as to make esoteric statements in the middle of service, insults directed solely to her.

As she revealed her agitations, I couldn’t help but smirk. This is what I told her.

“If a person who’s attracted to you can’t receive your love…then they’ll settle for your hate. Because whether you love or hate the person, the thing they both have in common is that you got your object of affection thinking about you. And sometimes, that’s all we really want. All we really need is to know that our crush is thinking about us. So we’ll piss you off to the extent that you’re so angry you’re venting to others about us. Thus, mission accomplished.”

To be honest, it’s kind of why I get irritated (jealous) when girls I’m interested in complain about other dudes. I’m thinking to myself… “Come on, missy. That guy isn’t worth your thoughts.”

When I told my grandmother this, you could hear how impressed she was. Not just from the compliments but by her laughter. She was genuinely thrilled and proud of me for making such a revelation. No doubt, she’s heard the cliché of people “antagonizing those they actually have crushes on”…but in her long life of knowledge and experience, I don’t think she’s ever heard anyone explain why it’s like this.

This theory doesn’t apply to everyone, especially if you’re mature, content, of self-confident. However, everyone is susceptible of being on the receiving end of such abuse where you’re like, “damn dude. What did I do to her?”

Arnold_&_Helga_together

Think back to when you were a kid. The plot of so many TV programs always showed it. From “The Rugrats” to “Charlie Brown” to freaking “Hey Arnold.” These TV shows had at least one or two episodes showing a girl or guy making fun or antagonizing another character who turns out to actually be in love with their victim. Is this healthy? Is it normal? I don’t know. Maybe I was just one of the lucky ones where the girls who liked me were intrepid enough to lash out and make me feel like was an evil monster that needed to be slayed, for the sake of the towns folk who were our peers and classmates.

XXII. August of 2008: Big Bang & the Wonder Girls

Posted by Rock Kitaro on August 23, 2019
Posted in: About the Author. Leave a comment

Here, we reminisce about the time when Big Bang and the Wonder Girls teamed up to dominate the kpop scene. It was during the promotions of “Haru Haru” and “So Hot.” Back in August of 2008.

(english subbed) WonderBang’s perfomance on MBC Music Festival (12.31.08)

2008 was by far the best year for music when I was in college. I’m not just talking about when it comes to the foreign music I was listening to. But also, here in the states. As you’ll recall, the tastes had taken a turn from the krumping sounds of the early 2000s where we had the sounds of Lil Jon, Nelly, and Outkast. By 2007-2008, Timbaland, Ne-Yo, and the Black Eye Peas had taken the reigns with their electronica-driven brand of hip hop. Back when Step-Up 2 was all the craze and we saw the cast compete against Miley Cyrus’s dance crew in some of the best dance videos ever.

To be honest…aside from the nostalgia of the 1990s, 2008 was perhaps the only year that I could tip my hat off to American music. It was the only year where I didn’t mind going to the gym and listening to the mainstream music that blasted over the speakers.

But when I did put on my headphones…in August of 2008, the music coming out of Korea took me far, far away. I weighed 340lbs at the time. But I had hope. I had a dream that one day I could look in the mirror and not see a disgusting behemoth that no one would ever want to be close to. When you’re in the progress of making that happen, it can be a bit depressing because such change doesn’t happen overnight.

It took 4 years to get down to 220lbs. But it was the music of S. Korea…it was the beauty of women that kept the hope alive, that motivated me to keep going despite the lack of discernable change. I believed in myself. Not sure I could have done it without the type of music Korea was producing at the time. Allow me to explain… Continue Reading

Will God Accept Just Anything? – A Study of the Book of Malachi

A discussion of complacency…how people fear the PC culture more than they do God. I explain what it means to Fear God and what it means to love him at the same time.

The King of Kings – A Study of Malachi
By Rock Kitaro
August 16th 2019

A popular saying these days among young people these days is, “I’m a king! I’m a queen!”

“Beyonce is the Queen”

“I’m looking for my King!”

“If you want to be a king you gotta treat her like a queen!”

I’m seeing it more and more, particularly amongst the Black Community when it comes to men and women searching for their potential spouse. I’ll make this little essay short and sweet and get straight to the point.

We need to stop with all this self-love nonsense. We need to stop with the complacency when it comes to just “accepting” any and everything. And we need to start fearing the one true God as the King of Kings. None of us are kings. None of us are queens. If you submit yourself to Jesus Christ’s teachings, you should do as you’re commanded and pick up the cross to follow him, seeking first the Kingdom of Heaven, storing up your treasures in heaven, not on earth. Even Jesus came to serve, not be served.

The Book of Malachi is one of the most potent Bible Books in the Bible and I can’t believe how much I glossed over it the first time I read it two years ago. Just to give you a bit of background info, Malachi was a prophet after the Jewish captivity in Babylon. The Jewish people were given permission to rebuild the temple that had been destroyed, but even after the near hundred years of the temple’s completion, the people had become complacent when it came to serving and fearing the one true God.

And this seems to be an epidemic when it comes to humankind. One of our biggest flaws, is our forgetfulness and complacency. In times of peace, we become soft and laxed when it comes to our commitments and holding true to such virtues like obedience, honor and duty. And yet, when catastrophe strikes, then all the sudden it’s, “WHERE IS GOD! HOW COULD GOD ALLOW THIS!?”

We’ve done this to ourselves and it’s making me sick to my stomach that people never take responsibility. I hate that so much. Even when it comes to my peers or even potential mates. When I hear about what has happened in their lives, I only respect them when they take ownership. The moment I hear, it’s somebody else’s fault, my respect dwindles.

Because here’s the blunt truth, regardless what your pastor told you, regardless what the world’s telling you. The Bible is chalk full of scriptures that fall along the lines of, “Draw close to Jehovah and he will draw close to you.”

The problem we have as humans is that we want to claim the blessings of God without accepting the conditions of it. I’ve heard teachings that, because Jesus died for our sins, we’re all forgiven regardless of what we do so long as we “accept that Jesus is our Lord and Savior.” And most recently, from the friggin Bachelorette, we have Hannah Brown talking about, “I’ve had sex and Jesus loves me.”

Remembering a middle school crush who’s no longer with us…

Remembering Patricia Griffin
By Rock Kitaro
Date – August 18, 2019

I turned 33-years-old today…and yet, I woke up thinking about her. One of life’s greatest tragedies, I think…is that we’re not able to tell others how much they meant to us.

We can, but depending on the person, they might get creeped out, or its just straight up inappropriate if they’re married or moved on with their lives to the point that they’d rather never see you again.

But with Patricia…lol, it’s such a cliché thing to say at funerals, that someone’s “touched all of our lives,” when you know damn well they didn’t. I’ve scoured the internet in search of a photo for her. I can’t find one. And yet, I remember her. Plain as day, as if I just saw her yesterday.

Before 8th grade, I never knew Patricia Kay Griffin existed. We called her Patty. Olive tone, her hair appeared crimped, brown with highlights of gold. Wide expressive eyes with thick brows. I remember she always wore these shirts that were apparently too small, because every time she’d raise her hand or lean over, it’d show her midriff.

Hahahaha! I’ll never forget the day my science teacher said, “Patricia, your stomach is showing.”

I whipped around so fast to see her…hahaha!

Screen Shot 2019-08-18 at 1.12.05 PM

And when I looked back to the front of the class, my teacher, Mrs. Cassel was just staring at me with this look like, “typical guy.”

835815-meme-3

I laughed so much. Before that day, I never knew how transparent I was. Sounds embarrassing, I know. But it’s the truth.

I definitely had a crush on Patty in 8th grade, Hephzibah Middle School. I’d flirt with her. We’d make fun of each other all the time and we had this chemistry where we wanted to be around each other…but she was never “officially” my girlfriend (story of my life). And I’m not entirely sure if she ever felt the same way about me. For all I knew, I could have just been a buddy and nothing more.

G-Force: Chapter 9 G-Force vs. G-X (King of Fighters, Street Fighter, Sailor Moon fan fic)

kyu vs ryu

That night, we told Mom and Dad about our day and got ready for tomorrow.

“Well, genius,” said Chris as we brushed our teeth. “What’s your plan?”

“I talked to Ken and Ryu and they said it might work. At the dance, you and me will sing a song to Mina and Lana causing Kyo to get jealous.”

Chris grinned. “That’s awesome.”

The next four days went well. We avoid G-X and came home to practice the song to sing. We were going to sing, “Anything for You”. The song is a slow song with some high pitches. Perfect for making the girls fall for you. Now came the night to venture forth.

The dance was at 7’oclock. We met up at Ken’s house to discuss the plans. We all wore matching white shirts with black shorts. The girls went to the dance separately so Kyo wouldn’t get mad. This made me wonder if Kyo was able to take on all the Sailor Scouts at once. Chris and Ryu rode with Ken while I rode my Green Dynasty. We got to the dance 30 minutes late but Ryu said everyone would be used to it.

The dance was pretty hot but it didn’t seem to bother anyone. We all just had a good time. I didn’t see Lana and Kyo at all. I went over to Ken who was cautiously dancing with another girl.

“Where’s Lana!” I shouted over the music.

“I don’t know. You’re not getting worried are you?” Ken jeered.

I was about to respond until a gang of about twenty came busting through the doors. Kyo and Lana were leading them. I looked at Chris and gave him the cue. That’s when we went behind the stage to set up.

Kyo Kusanagi 1

On the dance floor, the girls were looking for us. Lana pretended she wasn’t worried about me. Kyo, as per usual, was wearing his jacket and jeans. He put his arm around her shoulder.

“You want some punch?”

As soon as she said yeah, he softly punched her chin and signaled for one of his guys to get it.

Reminder: just a fanfic I wrote back when I was in middle school (2001-ish) Enjoy!

Kyo knocking out Ryu

Six hours later, I woke up on an airplane. I looked around to see a stewardess smiling at me.

“Where am I?”

“You’re on a plane about to land in Los Angeles in five minutes.” She told me.

I told her thanks and laid my head back down.

“You know, you’re pretty famous. It’s in all the newspapers about how you saved those girls.”

“Are you serious?”

“Yes, Majestic! Can I get your autograph?”

Pleasantly surprised, I said sure and gave it to her.

Once we landed, a couple of crew members put me in a stretcher. I let them even though I wasn’t in critical condition. They tried to put me in an ambulance and that’s when I got up and showed I could walk on my own. I asked one of the personnel where they rest of G-Force had gone. She said they went home, and went on about her business.

I entered the airport and looked around for assistance. I was still twelve, after all. LAX was huge, a lot bigger than Atlanta’s. Some of the writings were in different languages I couldn’t understand. It was pretty hopeless. But I decided ot take advantage of this situation and talk to people I’ve never met.

The first person I decided to talk to was a girl who looked about my age. She and the girl standing next to her turned around. I recognized them as the Olsen twins.

“Hey, do you know where the information desk is?”

As they stared at me, their mouths dropped. “You’re Majestic!” They said in unison.

This caused a chain reaction in the people surrounding us. I was embrassed and started to blush. That’s when a group of fans came running and screaming my name. I took off running the other way. It was like an obstacle course the way I leaped over props and rails. Finally, I lost most of the reporters by jumping from the balcony of the fourth level out of the airport. Even though I was free, I didn’t stop running.

After about thirty minutes of running and sightseeing the Los Angeles area, I finally stopped at a skate park by the beach to rest. I was so exhausted that some of the skaters came and offered me some water.

“Man, are you okay?” One of them asked.

“I’ll be alright.” I said in a wheeze.

“Welcome to LA, Majestic.” A girl shot out.

Hearing my name from strangers was beginning to take a traumatic effect on me. I turned to her, wide-eyed as if I might need to take off again.

“Majestic? From the news?”

“Yes?”

“No way dude! Yo, my name is Johnny Quest. These are my friends Alex Summer and Karen.”

“I’m just here for the summer. Hope to catch you again bro!” Alex said before going off to skate.

All of them had blonde hair, but Karen’s hair was curly.

G-Force: Chapter 7 – G-Force in Full Effect (Sailor Moon & Street Fighter fan fiction)

Sailor Scouts 8

We signed our contracts and frequently drove up to Atlanta and back to produce songs. The girls came with us. It was pretty cool. I got to know the girls a little better. And Chris and Mina got a lot closer. They didn’t go on any dates because the chaperone wouldn’t allow it.

I learned Lana could cook very well. One time she prepared shrimp stir fry for everyone. It was awesome. Due to my braids coming down on all dies, she sometimes teased me by calling me “Jellyhead”. I thought it was lame but everyone else found it funny. She and I started to get along, actually. Mainly because I just rolled with her jokes and stopped going overboard with my retaliation. As long as everyone was smiling, I was good with it.

Amy was a lot smarter than I thought. And I already thought she was the brains of the group, her and Renny. Throughout the time they spent with us in Augusta, there were a few demon attacks on the Sailor Scouts, brought by some villain named Prince Diamond. It was pretty weird seeing a bunch of attractive girls fighting butt ugly freaks.

Since the Sailor Scouts were already known as the Sailor Scouts, us guys were simply referred to as G-Force. When people called for G-Force, they usually meant the guys. And when they called for Sailor Scouts, they meant the girls. And when it came to those monsters, us guys rarely got involved. The Scouts wanted us to stay out of it because it was too dangerous. Of course, Ken had to be restrained on more than one occasion.

Mina was sort of a cheerleader for Chris’s wrongdoings. Every time Chris did something bad, I mean so bad it was cruel, no one would laugh. But Mina would. She would laugh so hard that sometimes I thought she was faking it. She wasn’t. She had this stunning move that I saw her use on one demon. It’s called the Crescent V Shower.

Sailor Venus 3

She’d first power up her energy, then pointed out her index and middle finger together. Then all the sudden, hundreds of tiny golden hearts would spring out and spiral like a powerful whip at her disposal. I’ve had the pleasure of being accidentally hit by one of them. It wasn’t pleasant.

Serena had the power of the moon. Since the moon is closest to Earth, this potentially made her the most powerful. I’ve seen her use her special attacks to blow away cars and buses like they were toys. Everyone depended on her. She was their ace in the hole. No matter how many waves of monsters went up against the Sailor Scouts, as long as Sailor Moon was there, the monsters barely stood a chance.

Sailor Moon attacking monster

Whoever said that power makes men evil, must not have had Serena in mind. In the eyes of many, she was the most irresponsible, undisciplined, disrespectful and scared girl they’d ever met. Every time Lana fixed dinner, she always had something to complain about it. Lana held her temper since she was the oldest and would probably do the most damage to her, but Rei wouldn’t.

Rei’s name was pronounced Ray, as in sun ray. It’s spelled like that because she was born in Toyko. Every time Lana cooked and Serena said something about it, it was Rei who would stand up to chastise Serena. The two of them would bicker like cats and dogs. Constantly. From day one, it seemed.

However, in songs, their voices blended in perfect harmony, into the most beautiful sound we’d ever heard. They’d often take whole verses together, just the two of them while the five would come in for a blended harmony during the chorus. But when they argued, it sounded like hell.

Rei had some very unusual, but fiery attacks, almost like a pyromaniac. She’d have these stickers reminiscent of some Japanese shrine. She planted one on me once when I tried to hold her back from attacking Serena. It stuck to my back and nearly put me into epileptic shock. It was like a scalding hot iron burning straight through my flesh. Serena didn’t even thank me. And it warned us G-Force guys to just stay out of their fights.

Sailor Mars fire

One time, I saw her sprint towards a demon, soar in the air while doing a corkscrew flip to plant one of those stickers on the demons back. Then once she jumped off, the sticker exploded like a bomb. Very unsettling.

G-Force: Chapter 6 – Majestic vs. Ryu (Street Fighter Fan-Fic)

Ryuu.(Street.Fighter).full.138252

Mind you, I wrote this when I was fourteen. 🙂

Amy called the others. I woke up five minutes later in the garage with everyone there, including Cameron. Lana was still knocked out and seeing her like that…it pulled on my heartstrings.

“How do you feel man?” Ken asked me.

“Amy told us what happened.” Renny noted.

“I guess there’s more to you than meets the eye.” Ryu said with his arms crossed.

“There is.” I told him.

Cameron stepped forward with that sky blue hair of hers. “I’m sorry, Majestic. I didn’t want to come between you and Lana like that. I just really like you.”

I winced with pain in my back as I stood up and looked her in her eyes. “Don’t worry. Lana and I had nothing to do with you. If you want to go out with me, I’m all for it.”

Her face lit up with a beaming smile. We hugged. It hurt more than I thought it would, so I playfully nudged her back.

Ken sighed as he approached and brushed against my shoulder. “You know, you guys going out won’t exactly ease the tension between you and Lana.”

“Lana doesn’t love me, Ken. The only reason why she hated me so much is because I beat her in a fight before.”

Renny rolled her eyes. “That’s all fine and dandy, but would you mind explaining the lightning incident?

I shrugged.

“No one can just catch a bolt of lightning and throw it back, Majestic. It’s impossible. Even the Masters of the Universe can’t.” She said.

XXII. Japanese & Korean Metal: A Writer’s Gift

Posted by Rock Kitaro on August 16, 2019

From Maximum the Hormone to Korea’s widely underrated Novasonic…to lesser known bands like Acid and the powerhouse vocals of Back-On…here, we get into it.

1

In the summer of 2008, I was coming up on 22 years of age and entering my final stretch of film school. I had just ended an era where my romantic pursuit helped me grow from a teen to an actual adult and my spirits were flying at an all-time high. It was during this time that I discovered a gift. And I couldn’t have done it without the music of Maximum the Hormone.

I’ll never forget it. It was for my 8pm “Master Screenwriting” class. Mr. Sims told the entire class to spend the next four hours writing whatever we wanted. He instructed us not to delete anything. Not to look anything up. Not to stop and think ahead. But to simply write everything that was in our head to form a story off the cuff.

Some people think “tunnel vision” isn’t real. I’m here to tell you it is. By tunnel vision, I’m referring to the intense focus by which it’s damn near impossible for anyone or anything to distract you. For some people, it’s adrenaline that puts them in that trance. Others, it’s high-intense stress, the pressure, the anxiety, the life or death struggle (I’m guessing here.) But for me…it’s metal.

Honestly, it takes me back to my freshman year. I was playing Mushroomhead as I drove some friends of mine and they thought it was weird to see me so calm and relaxed while listening to the sounds of rapid-pulsing high-octane music. I asked, “how do most people act?”

“Like, they’re head-banging man. All amped up and ready to go!” They told me.

MUSHROOMHEAD – BEFORE I DIE

https://stageinthesky.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/mushroomhead-before-i-die.mp3

I smirked. Because really, they weren’t wrong. In truth, I was amped up and ready to go. Everytime I listen to a metal song, whether it’s Japanese metal or American like Slipknot. I may appear calm and collective on the outside, but on the inside, my heart is cranking at a 180 rpms. My eyes hardly blink. Everything becomes more clear, sharper. It’s the same wherever I am. Whether I’m driving, working out in the gym, or performing an assignment at work. It’s like the sound of Metal puts up barriers, the bumpers to my bowling lane to keep me focused on the task at hand.

I never thought this would apply to writing as well. Any music will do really. But no genre is as effective as metal. That starry night in June of 2008, in four hours I cranked out 50 pages. And it wasn’t garbage either. That night, I wrote the treatment for what would become my “Dragon Ash” story. In the coming year, I’d go on to develop it into short stories and even scripts, one of which got me the highest passing grade in the class. It was one of the best nights of my life. Eleven years later (2019), I still use this method.

Let’s start from the beginning…because it’s not like I just rolled out of bed and stumbled on Maximum the Hormone’s music. There were gateway bands and some creatively written anime that led me to this 4-member nu-metal band.

Maximum the Hormone What’s up people

From April of 2008 to September of 2008, I was tasked with three projects. 1) I had to find a local band and produce their music video. Meaning, I had to shoot, direct, and edit it. 2) I had to serve as the producer to another student’s short film. And 3) I had to write, direct, and edit my own short film. I had to do all of this, on top of working as a pizza delivery driver to pay rent.

These aren’t complaints. These are challenges. Challenges, I was finally ready for.
