Bloc Party's Kele Does Attitude
Check out lead singer of Bloc Party Kele Okereke's cover for team chico mag Attitude.
He tells Attitude magazine, "I was born in the U.K. and my parents are Nigerian. Fundamentally, I do have problems with a lot of what I perceive to be Nigerian culture. How they treat women. How they treat gays. It's a very hierarchical system where you always have to defer to your elders even if you know them to not be right. That's something I personally disagree with. I think everything should be open to discussion. To reason is part of being human."
He also recently did an interview for BUTT magazine where he talked about being gay:
"My parents are super-Catholic and they come from a culture in Nigeria where there weren’t any visible gay people who were out and were happy. I left home when I was 20. My parents threw me out [for being gay]. Which I knew they would. We didn't speak for like a week. ... My parents are getting older and I didn’t like the idea that they could possibly die without knowing something that is a big part of my life. It’s not easy. ... We've been talking about it."

I never knew he was 'it'. Good to know. What's sad to me is that his family disowned him, which I can tell you is the major hinerance of every discreet person from a big family in trying to deal with the spanner in your lifeworks that is male attraction!
I wonder if he'd do an interview for me that would speak to a lot of people? *Pensive face

Trouble in Paradise
Check out this clip from TV show Police Women of Memphis. Officer Shaniqua is responding to a 911 domestic situation, yet the situation is two guys!
I felt sorry for the guy, I mean who the hell needs to be with someone that is gonna cut you everytime he gets mad. Cold case love in 2010? Not for me thanks!

New Bryn't: Hello Goodbye
A new track just surfaced from rapper repping for team chico, Bryn't
When I heard the beat I was a little dubious because there are some classics with instrumentals that should never be touched, but by the end the story narrated through the lyrical wordplay had me won over. Follow him on twitter: @BryNtMusic
Enjoy

Tuesday Throwback: B Scott Season 3 Premiere
Check out this throwback from Youtuber B Scott. He'd stopped doing his videos for a minute and had his subscribers wondering WTF. Then out of nowhere this vid went viral. I remember watching this video for the 1st time and thinking, that's how you make a comeback.
I found this reaction video hilarious as well:

Loosing Sight
Do you remember when you were curious and you had images in your head about what you thought the ideal person to enter your life should be?
Cool down to Earth, goal orientated and easy on the eye. Average joe to the untrained eye so folks wouldn't talk when out and about and just assume two good friends were enjoying each others company. Enjoying each other's company for the right reasons and not just until the novelty of being in something new wears off. Old school romance like sketches of each other during 'us' time, or a half a heart keyring that becomes whole when the two come together.
The little things like someone cooking your favorite dish and having them smiling on the inside because you appreciate their effort. Laying on the sofa with dude's head snuggled in your lap as you watch your favorite shows. Soaping dudes back in the shower and drying each other off. Anecdotes that motivate and inspire.
I guess in this world of lust and variety, what I am saying is, don't loose sight of the search for the qualities in another that you feel are important to you in favor of throw away lust when deep down you are not with it.
