What Has The World Come To?... The National Church of Bey

O M G... Ok so my aunt and I were spending quality time watching HBO GO (thank you god), and I noticed there was a documentary about Beyonce. A comment came about that she isn't even old enough and hasn't had enough impact on the world for people to even benefit from her having one. (If you feel differently, please explain in the comment section lol) But then I was enlightened to the fact that there is a church that worships Beyonce. Yes, bootylicious, both crazy and drunk in love Beyonce. Now like many of you, I gawked in disbelief thinking it was a joke. But yet again, the big and beautiful world we live in, never ceases to amaze and disgust me. In Atlanta Georgia, the city in which I reside (smhi aka shaking my head indefinately... I'm talking forever people lol), there is a church called The National Church of Bey. And no sweetie, that was not a typo.

Being the hunter for the truth that I am, I searched for it on google (thank god again lol) and low and behold, there it was. I can't even begin to understand the madness that I'm witnessing. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this because it is both outrageously hilarious and hopelessly sad. I didn't know this type of desperation existed. I don't mean to offend anyone but, seriously?!

First of, this new religion is call Beyism. They have a website (along with every social media outlet a deity would need). The first thing you see is in the top left corner is a paper-clipped picture of Beyonce. Well, what you think is Beyonce at first but soon realize is a photo shopped picture of her head on what used to be Jesus. And that's just the beginning. They have religious quotes that are from, none other than, her song lyrics. They pass out their version of the Bible called Beyble Oh, but that's not all. In place of amen, they say surfbort. SURFBORT!..

HOW CREEPY IS THIS?!

This is truly a tragedy for the human race. I seriously had to ask myself some hard hitting questions... I mean cinder block kind of questions.

Does Beyonce know about this craziness?!
If so, is she ok with it?!
If so, Why?!
Who... no no no... I don't care who, how could someone think Beyonce should be worshiped?
Did it start out as some kind of joke and then some poor unfortunate soul (little mermaid) caught wind of it and was like, "Hmm, yeah that makes sense."?

In all seriousness, I'm an open person and extremely empathetic but no... just no. As members of the human race, can we please exercise our common sense and think about things first. Let's make a rule I think we can all agree on. If you are looking to a person for answers who is looking to someone or something else for answers, the math is not adding up. 13-50=47? (click the link if you didn't get it lol)

Im scared for a world where people are put on pedestals, being glorified and adored to the point where their lives become more valuable than those who adore them. Example, Rihanna's legs are insured for 1 million dollars. America Ferrera, yeah Ugly Betty, her smile is insured for 10 million. I don't know if its her teeth, her jaw, or the skin on her face but whatever is insured on her, I never imagined a human body part could be worth so much, when not on the black market of course. With that in mind, don't you think society's view on celebrities is a bit overstated.

Example, another term people use for a celebrity is an idol, right? The first definition for "idol" is and I quote: an image or representation of a god used as an object of worship.

To be honest, after examining this, Beyism isn't that far out there. If were treating these people (just like us) like deities than pretty soon there will be people who look at them as deities. I'm no conspiracy theorist or anything but I'm not naive to the fact that there is loads of subliminal messaging going on in the media. Crazy thing is a subliminal message's power is in it's privacy, being aware of it takes away that power. Point being... Pay attention people, pay attention.

What Has the World come To?... "Put 'Em in the coffin"

For those of you who may not know, a vine trend by the name of "put 'em in the coffin" has spread like wildfire on the social media scene. What is it, you ask? Well, my personal definition of it would be, when a person or person's yell out "put em in the coffin!" before jumping or falling back on anything they so choose. A lot of popular "victims" of this trend that I've noticed are...

• Random parked vehicles
• Anything stacked at WalMart
• Unsuspecting moving vehicles
• Anyone laying down
• Bushes
• A variety of flat services
• Water (probably the only respectable one on the list)

Of course, my first thought was, "Who came up with this stuff?". So, i did some digging. Let me tell you, there are a ton of "put 'em in the coffin" vines. SMH But, a vine account by the name of VonMar THOTBOYZ #23 came up... and yes that is the whole thing. lol The vine account led me to a twitter because if you have one social media outlet, you must have more. It's like internet crack. Anyways, according to twitter he has over 12,000 followers which I'm guessing is a lot, I don't know. Under his info he is hashtagged as mr. put em in the coffin, which led me to believe I had found the source. He is also hashtagged under WorldStar VINE VONMAR FILMS. This hashtag got me to thinking (I pray never have to say those words again lol), maybe he had his start on WorldStar. I mean, it's not as if that's where the majority of internet trends start now a days (SARCASM). After a failed attempt to contact him, I was left wondering if he really was the one to introduce the vine to the world. It's possible that he could have just been the one to make it popular, but without a statement from him and no one else claiming to be it's original source, it's hard to tell. Fortunately, where the vine started isn't my primary concern about this whole thing. I care more about, how this trend is effecting people.

Now, as I sat back and thought about this, in all honesty I thought it was funny. STUPID, but funny. At first glance, it just seems like a bunch of young people doing what they do best. By that I mean, run around in packs, trying to find things to occupy their time with. Which is more than less something disruptive or destructive. But, when I really thought about it with the little part of my brain that still holds some common sense, I realized that these people's harmless fun, wasn't so harmless. For example, in one (well several) of the vines, the random car that was "harmlessly" jumped on, got dented. When the kids saw this, they hauled off running. Laughing, might I add. This points to the obvious fact that they knew that what they were doing was wrong and if caught, knew they would face consequences. It's sad though, that before even jumping on the car, they didn't give thought to the owner of that vehicle. In worrying only for their desire for amusement, they showed no regard for the trouble they could be causing someone else.

Picture this with me for a second. You're just getting of work. You're tired, maybe a little hungry or frustrated cause (your co worker's name here, yeah you know the one) has been giving you a hard day, as usual. You reach in your pocket for your car keys, which always takes an arm and a leg to find, but somehow you manage. You get in your car, turn it on and finally get to exhale for a second before you pull out and have to deal with the idiots on the road who can't stay in their lane to save their lives. Then just as your about to throw your car into reverse, you notice something different about the hood. You open your door and lean out to get a better look. And there it is, a huge dent, just sitting in the middle of your hood. How upset would you be in that moment? You'd probably be taken back with thoughts of how, who, and why. Shortly after, I have no doubt it'd hit you that you may actually have to pay for the damages, and of course the whole "who got money to blow like that?!" process starts. Now depending on what kind of person you are, you could deal with that situation differently, but I think you see my point.

It seems that the people who participate in this trend don't care how their actions are effecting another life. When they jump into a display at WalMart, somebody has to pick it up. When they jump onto moving cars, someone has to hit the brakes. When they damage property, someone has to pay for it. As a society we tend to do a considerable amount of inconsiderate things. No, most of us don't run around intentionally harming other people with our words, actions, (etc...) but we are all guilty of it. I like to think of it as neglect of human nature. Believe it or not, our true nature is to be kind and caring of one another. That's why when we do hurt someone in someway, it stirs up feelings within us. Even if those feelings are anger. Even if we say,  "Man, I don't care!". If we didn't care, saying it wouldn't even be necessary. It wouldn't even occur to us.

I know we all are caught in our own lives, just trying to keep ourselves and the ones we love above water, but something as little as CHOOSING to use forethought and being thoughtful (considering how our actions could effect other things and actually caring about it) could alter an entire situation. An entire life. Even our life.

Think about it...

What has the world come to?... Wubbing

Ok... Ok... I honestly don't know how to introduce this. I was just shown a video of a couple of young men doing what they called "a new dance" called Wubbing. I have no idea how to describe what it exactly is. I will post the link to the video. Just as a caution there is no nudity or foul language but... it's graphicish so viewer discretion is advised lol

I think about 6 or 7 young men, more than likely teenager, were wearing spandex biking shorts. Attached to these shorts is a cylinder foam or pillow attachment. It is attached to the pelvic region of the pants. That is the mildest way to put it. Yeah... I know. Apparently, they had been arrested for wubbing out in public and shortly after released because dance this video was possibly a news story to let them

Now, when I saw this I was already in shock. I didn't know this kind of thing existed... I should have guessed but whatever lol. What took it to the head for me, wasn't what they were doing, but how calm they were about it.  As if it were something as normal as eating ice cream in the parking lot of DQ. Man, I haven't had Dairy Queen in a minute. Anyways, they were describing it as an art form. One young man said and I quote, "Yeah we get laughed at but they laughed at break dancing too."

No sweetie... Just no... You getting laughed at cuz what you're doing is stupid and inappropriate. These kids think they are doing something iconic, in a twisted attempt to be different. Sad thing is, this might actually catch on. I'm sure our parents never thought twerking would be a trend and with the help of Miley Cyrus... here we are.

They were using the wub to "dance". Shaking and swinging it. This dude was like "I call this one stiring the mayonnaise"... I mean, how am I supposed to process that?! lol What kind of foolishness is this?!?!?! But if you interested in checking the video out...

This is the link to the video: http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhnCxjnbJfcDc3GYjD

SMH!!!
