I am Tian El, I'm a character created to fulfill the destiny of one guy who would like to make difference in pop culture and in life it self. My REVOLUTIONARY VISION is to overcome the typical and re-write the MAINSTREAM voice that all seem to follow. I'm just one, but, I know deep inside my heart someday there can be exceptionally great people who help to aware people of the same mistake that takes in PUBLIC DOMAIN, the future of so many children shadowed by what it seems to be the superficial and the perfection on voice tone.

Sex is everything. To go beyond sugarcoating the issue, wether it be in relationships, advertisement, media, and the like, sex is everything and everywhere. Wether it be part of an innuendo, a sub-context, flat out blatant in your face, or anything between, it's undeniable that sex is an integral part in not only our culture, but our everyday life.

I have not been feeling well, which is obligatory of what I am going through, and I know there are people who are happy about this. So, I have turned from Sugar to reading a LOT! But, when I do have something of interest for you I will post it for you as I care deeply about so many of you. I am not looking for sympathy or empathy of any nature. Far from it. Taking a break from Sugar has been situational. Therefore READING has been a serenity of sorts. Absorbing information which I wish I would have attained months ago.
A book advised for reading:
"The Moral Sense" by James Q. Wilson
Mark Twain once advised, "Always do right. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest." (you know how I love my quotes). The thought of astonishing people is certainly appealing, yet somehow we have to know what's right before we can do it. How do we know what's right? It's not easy, despite the fact that there's a vast field of study devoted to the topic which is described using terms like "Ethics," or "Moral Philosophy." However, countless philosophers writing shelves full of books over have hardly improved on the age-old cliche', "treat others as you want to be treated." Albert Schweitzer rephrased it this way: "A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life which he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives."
But why should we even be interested in opening the question? Why not just leave the discussion of ethics to theologians?
Despite the fact that religion and ethics are sometimes assumed to be interchangeable ideas, a standard of morality is important whether one believes in a higher power or not. It makes society work and establishes the basis by which human beings can relate to each other and to their environment safely and responsibly. If our ethical lines shift according to whim, others won't be able to anticipate our responses or predict our stance on any issue. We all have a strong desire to know where we "stand" in relation to others. Do they care about us? Do we care about them? How do we know whether our relationships can be relied upon?

Up until Sunday night the media has had an orgasmic love affair with Adam Lambert. However his performance at the American Music Awards Sunday night with a few face to crotch maneuvers and kissing a man left some pulling their hands away like hand from the flame. Namely Good Morning America who cancelled his appearance after receiving complaints post his AMA performance.

Air Jordan XII White Black
When you see the jordan shoes pictured above, you know it’s part of the Air Jordan legacy, but it’s probably one of the most overlooked models in the vault. They don’t have a name like their regular season counterpart, the ‘Taxi’ and there’s no single moment of dominance they symbolize like the ‘Flu Game’, nor any controversy in their release like the also white ‘Rising Sun’. Despite the apparent lack of history, yours truly likes these best of all the Air Jordan XIIs (12).

PRO 1
Our government was based on religious principles from the very beginning. The 10 Commandments are the foundation of our moral government.
CON 1.1
Having religious principles does not mean that they wanted to use the government to force religion on the country.

Dig Casts New Light On Indian Culture
Va. Archaeological Findings Unveil Complex Society
By Brigid Schulte

When archaeologists began digging in a cornfield one steamy summer day on the banks of the York River, they were pretty sure they would find remnants of Werowo comoco, the legendary capital city chosen by Powhatan, the Algonquian paramount chief who once had the power to decide whether the settlers at Jamestown should live or starve.
But once the archaeologists began scraping test pits every 50 feet, what they began to unearth was unlike anything they had seen in the region.

Why has America turned on Sarah Palin? Obviously, her wobbly television interviews haven't helped. Nor have the drip, drip of scandals from Alaska, which have tarnished her reformist image.

Muslims strongly believe in their prophet Mohammed. The only major problem I have is the fact that Mohammed took a wife at such a young age against her will, she had no say so in the matter. He was 54 years old and she, Aisha, was 6 years old.
