June Newsletter 3 (no pics)

Spirituality and Religion.
There are many things to be said about spirituality. Does it coincide with religion? Does it make one more intellectual? Whatever your questions about the two are, I am here to try to help you understand. Spirituality is the sense and ability to enjoy spirit in every form and fashion. Whereas religion is a community business based on one aspect of Spirituality. Christianity is a religion, Judaism is a religion, and Wicca is a religion, just to name some examples. But Spirituality is so much more than just one religion. It’s the relationship you have with your higher being. It’s the positive energy you attract from the universe and repel it back.

So whatever you chose to believe in and respect. Just know that unless you are hurting someone or something with your beliefs, you can never be wrong. Just because you don’t believe in Muhammad or Jesus doesn’t mean you going to burn for eternity. Happy days will follow you if you propel your mind in a state of victory. Never give up and always ask your deity for strength and knowledge. And don’t forget to thank! Would you like doing for someone who didn’t thank you?

Here is an affirmation you can use to start your day:
I am on top, in touch and in tune with my life. I like who I am and am glad to be me. I feel great and am in control of my time and myself. And every day and in every way I get a little better.”
~Marylin Garhart, 5th grade teacher

Spare the Air Day
This Spare the Air season the Air District and MTC are sponsoring one Free Transit Day, on Thursday, June 19. Transit will be free all day on San Francisco Bay Area bus and light-rail systems, and until 12 noon on BART, trains, and ferries. A planned free transit day allows people to plan their commute in advance—to adjust their morning schedule, get a transit buddy, and find the closest bus, BART, or train station. For help planning your commute, visit http://www.511.org/.

The Spare the Air Program was established by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District to educate people about air pollution, and to encourage them to change their behavior to prevent it
.

“Sometimes for two hearts to become closer, harsh situations are necessary.”

Marriage Equality Comes to California!
Beginning this week (June 16th @ 5:01 pm), California will truly become a state of equality as committed loving couples previously denied the joys, rights, and responsibilities of marriage go to county clerks' offices to apply for marriage licenses. From Crescent City to San Diego and everyplace in between, all loving couples will have the freedom to marry.

"I'm wishing everyone well with their marriages." ~ California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

Help protect marriage equality in California.
This week’s marriages could be jeopardized in a matter of months if right-wing groups can whip up enough homophobic fervor to pass a discriminatory marriage ban on Election Day.Their attacks are intensifying, and we need your help urgently to defeat this measure and defend equality.
Donate to the Human Rights Campaign's California Marriage PAC and be a part of this remarkable campaign.
100 percent of your donation will go to the Equality for All campaign, of which HRC is a member, to stop the anti-GLBT ballot initiative.

    June Newsletter 1


    June 5th, 2008

    Opening of the first ASP website…On May 22nd, A SOLObeatz Production dropped the idea of trying to start a video web show [like everyone else] and did the next best thing, started a blog site. With the help of Blogger.com, A SOLObeatz Production blog site was created. The creator, MosDefJB: D Mos FABOLOUS 1, has posted over 19 blogs in the month of May and that number will increase in June. Most of the blogs were emotional gateways of the emotional breakup, now they are aimed at today’s issues in the gay community.

    Several posts will be YouTube videos that affect the thoughts of ASP at the moment. These videos will require viewing and will have only a caption explaining the video. The aim of this website is to promote the production and its supporters, affiliates, fans and other popular bloggers. ASP hopes you enjoy the blogs, comment on them and be patient as we work out the bugs to bring you the web show…one day.

    THANK YOU!!
    Robert Jones, Jr. for turning A SOLObeatz Production on to blogger.com. If it wasn’t for you, we would be fifty steps behind times on Myspace with our thumbs up our ass.

    About the newsletter….
    In the newsletter, there will be updates on supporter’s websites, shows, and of course, ASP. One important project a month will be the “Man of the Month.” For the next month coming, there will be a list of men to be selected. The one with the highest votes will be the winner.
    For the man of July:
    • Bokeem Woodbine

    • Laz Alonzo

    • Will Smith

    Submit your choice by voting on the side bar of this page. Thanks
    .

    Happy Birthday!!
  • June 18th- Jennifer Bowles

  • June 7th- Darth Sidious
  • June 12th- Frank Caldwell

    Nvncyble is on the road going homo-coastal, I mean bi-coastal. ASP wishes him a safe journey and happy adventures.




    OBAMA 08 & Gay Marriage~
    2008 is a FABOLOUS year thus far. Barack Obama has beaten Hilary Clinton in the running to become the next president. We give our hats off to you and a standing ovation. Also, California has DENIED the hold on the legalization for gay marriage till the next vote. How exciting is that? Now gay couples can set the date as early as today!
