Let Love Reap Love
There is so much hate out there. Especially for those that try to better themselves.
Where does this hate come from?
Where does it start? Where does it end?
In this life, it is so easy to spread hate but it takes so much more strength to devise love unto others.
Hate reaps Hate.
Can Love follow suit and do the same?
Let Love Reap Love, by spreading love within ourselves exuding that intention to those around us...
With Love,
Kon

Self-Respect
“
I had read this and could not agree anymore than what was stated. I originally planned to do a video rant on my youtube but felt it to be more appropriate to write in a post. This life has so much negativity, sometimes for myself personally, I wish to join the Peace Corps, go to a country that most people read about, and live in a society that is primitive yet essentially happy in all respects and simplicity. Its weird seeing people around me, especially kids with all the latest gear, tech, etc and seeing how unhappy they still are yet knowing my family back home and in countries and places where they may not have access to these things still be happy is weird to me. Its funny how my parents came to this country for a "better" life yet are we really better living in a place that will only bring us down as human beings? Is it worth working and searching for a means to be able to buy a persons acceptance?
A revolution is certainly overdue...
If you are a woman, if you’re a person of colour, if you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, if you are a person of size, if you are a person of intelligence, if you are a person of integrity, then you are considered a minority in this world.
…And it’s going to be really hard to find messages of self-love and support anywhere. Especially women’s and gay men’s culture. It’s all about how you have to look a certain way or else you’re worthless. You know when you look in the mirror and you think ‘oh, I’m so fat, I’m so old, I’m so ugly’, don’t you know, that’s not your authentic self? But that is billions upon billions of dollars of advertising, magazines, movies, billboards, all geared to make you feel shitty about yourself so that you will take your hard earned money and spend it at the mall on some turn-around creme that doesn’t turn around shit.
When you don’t have self-esteem you will hesitate before you do anything in your life. You will hesitate to go for the job you really wanna go for, you will hesitate to ask for a raise, you will hesitate to call yourself an American, you will hesitate to report a rape, you will hesitate to defend yourself when you are discriminated against because of your race, your sexuality, your size, your gender. You will hesitate to vote, you will hesitate to dream. For us to have self-esteem is truly an act of revolution and our revolution is long overdue.

Life, Quality.
The quality of your life will be in direct proportion to the degree of uncertainty you can comfortably live with.

A little rant on "grown people"
Note that I am breaking character to write this.
It is not necessary frustration that I write this but rather sadness that I am writing this. When you are "grown" and you have children that look up to you, is it truly unreasonable that you serve to be a role model of sorts to them, at the very least, be a positive example?
I am saddened to say that this post is based on the actions of one individual previously from my iMusickk dance group.
If you don't know, I work with children using dance to reach out and minister to kids. The fact that he was upset because my pastors have told him to take responsibilities for himself when nobody else will is his own problem and that's fine. If this person wants to stay in that child-like mentality, more power to him and God Bless. The fact that he is going out of his way to talk shit about a church that tried to help him when nobody else would, is a little pathetic to be honest.
In the small chance that you come across this sir, know that these kids that you are deterring from maybe the only positive environment that they can be a part of just so you can have a friend or two, or by revealing things that are unbecoming to children just to feel accomplish, know that in the chance that they may fine Christ or in the very least come out better then where their parents are at right now, you're leading them down
a path of self-destruction though I doubt you honestly care about your 'friends' and their well-being.
Honestly, God Bless and I am constantly praying for you because you seem like an upstanding role model and leader.
Sincerely,
Christopher.

Update (8/24/11)
Well its been forever since I've posted on here and I sincerely apologize. I've been busy preparing for school and that has actually been alot more stressful than I anticipated but I'm finally ready for school. Just gotta wait for these books to come in. I'm currently choreographing the dance team with Truth in Motion and have joined their step team as well (hoping to have a video of that reasonably soon). I am still choreographing my kids group, kidSOUL and am working diligently to rebuild my group, iMusickk.
As far as videos go, I will start to produce a video at least once every two weeks to give everyone subscribed a chance to view my latest videos but to also give myself time to come up with a new video idea.
On a side note, if you need a new cell phone for possibly cheaper, click me (lame self promotion I know).
I will also be uploading this blog, twitter, tumblr, facebook, and cafepress.
As a little reward for viewing and reading this, below are some recent pictures of myself and how long my hair has grown. Lemme know if I should keep my hair like this though o.o

Why I haven't been making any videos as of late...
I felt as though I needed to address this because I understand there are many people that view my material and out of love and respect, I am typing this post.
I am personally going through a transitional phase right now and it conflicts with what my parents see for me and what I see for myself. I understand that they only want what's best for me but at the same time, I am trying to stand on my own two feet and make the correct decisions regarding myself and those immediate to me. I have my mother who will barely look at me, let alone say hello to me. I have my father who is being extremely strict upon me and close-minded about my choices. I tolerate all of this because I was raised to be very family-oriented as well as respectful in honoring my parents (for those that don't know, I am Christian) but it tries my patience in doing what I believe is correct (in regards to the kids I teach, the material I put out online, the people I associate with, etc.) and being brought down to feel less of a person because of my morals and beliefs. I will always have love for my parents (and for those that aren't as fortunate to have that luxury, I truely pray for) but it comes to deciding between biting my tongue to respect my parents wishes and becoming a man of God and living out a life that I believe I should be living.
This is just some stuff that has been on my mind, if you don't agree with my viewpoints, I will not force that upon you. I am an extremely open-minded Christian and if you decide not to follow me on here, youtube, etc because of the words or opinions expressed within this post, I understand but know that these emotions that are evoked are out of love, not spite for all those that read this.
God bless.
With love,
Christopher "Chrispy AKA Kon" Phiouthong
