This post was originally published on September 27, 2010 The Serious Side of Antoine Dodson and His Family
Sunday, August 29th, 2010
If you spend more time on the internet than you do watching T.V.; if you get a major chunk of your media input from YouTube, you have no doubt heard of Internet sensation Antoine Dodson.
Dodson (up until recently) lived in the projects in Huntsville, Alabama called Lincoln Park. One night, while he was minding his own business hanging out on Facebook, he heard his sister scream. He ran to her room and saw her struggling with a bed intruder, a man who was trying to rape her. The rapist was scared away before he was able to carry out his sexual assault.
When news cameras arrived at Dodson's doorstep, he was still angry, scared and worked up over the ordeal. He was very animated on camera and it was entertaining to watch. So entertaining that the Gregory Brothers, who are known for auto-tuning the news made a song of it and took it viral. At this point in time the Antoine Dodson Bed Intruder song has about 14.5 million views on YouTube. At one point, it was #3 on the iTunes popularity list.
Bed Intruder Song (Remix) (feat. Kelly Dodson) - Antoine Dodson
Today I heard a little bit of the story that put a twist on things for me. Dodson's sister has a 2-year old daughter. The daughter is aware of the trauma and tragedy and she is scared. She is scared for herself and she's scared for her mom.
I am currently teaching a class about Victimology at Long Beach City College and we talked about sexual abuse just last Thursday. We watched a video by Marilyn Van Derbur called "Once Can Hurt a Lifetime" and we talked about all the ways sexual abuse impacts the survivor. Here's what we came up with (click on image to enlarge):
Despite all these known consequences for sexual assault survivors, resources to help people are a very low priority on our list at voting time. The impact of lack of funding is evidenced by the closure of Sexual Assault Crisis Agency in Long Beach. For those who need support with overcoming the impact of sexual assault, a good place to start is RAINN (Rape Abuse and Incest National Network).
In class we also talked about some of the ways abusers wield power and control over others. Here's our list (click on image to enlarge):
We discussed how gaining personal power was a positive step to avoid falling prey to victimizers.

Or, visit Start a Master Mind Group.com to find out how to use group energy to strengthen and improve yourself as a person.

Thursday, August 26th, 2010
Every musical act has influences. The Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest influenced each other. Punk bands from the U.K. influenced garage bands in Southern California and vice versa. Reggae and dub influenced each other.
What are your influences? That's what we talked about in Helping and Listening Skills this week. We came up with a great list and I liked it so much I took a picture of it.
I asked the students to tell me about the things that influence them. What do they value? Why do they do what they do; love what they love? This is the list they came up with:
Parents
Environment
-Friends
-Neighborhood
-Peers
-Religion
Culture
Schools
Food/Nutrition
Media
Mental Illness
Life Experience
-Observation
Socio-Economic Status ($$$)
Books
Music
Relationships
Friendships
Family
-Uncles
-Aunts
-Brothers
-Sisters
-etc.
Role Model
-Coach
-Minister
-Teacher
Law
Government
Health
Medication/Drugs
Language
Sleep
Fashion
Freedom
Travel
Pets
Sex
Arts
-Pictures
-Painting
-Dance
Entertainment
Perception
The point I want to make in this class is that you cannot know any of these things about yourself or anyone else unless you first learn how to listen.
A great Master Mind group is one that's committed to honoring and respecting each other and that includes listening unconditionally and without judgment. It is honoring a person to trust that they know what's best for their own life.

There's nothing cool about holding back. Hip Hop and The Law of Attraction
Sunday, May 2nd, 2010
This song by Blackalicious is about living in the flow of life which is exactly what the Law of Attraction is. But in some ways it's more enjoyable to listen to this song and feel it than it is to sit around and think about it.

Automatique by Blackalicious Lyrics
[Floetry]
It's automatique-- now
So here bring my speak-- style
Show y'all how to freak-- star
Is automatique-- now
So automatique-- now
The sound you gon' keep-- down
Come listen and peep-- how
It's automatique
[Gift of Gab]
It's automatic sporadic movements on the brake
The moment's magic the last thing that I should do is think
I burst the energy that hints that really it's no time
At birth you start to think that after death back to no mind
A rest that makes you new again now you embrace the planet
And stand in all of all the thing you daily took for granted
The trees are posin' all unique in form make this perfection
The most important time is now tomorrow's a projection
A co-creator if you only just believe in that
Right here today inside is where I find my freedom at
Is simple as a lyric from my soul to yours as felt
I didn't write this I just let the pen move by itself
It's ART-o-matic
[Hook]

[Natalie of Floetry]
So blessed we rest in a space over-standin'
This breath's so unique we must trace where we landed
Magnetizin' minor tracks is subliminal
So fiend-in to the evidence is evident I'm bein' true
True to the moment the channelin' the callin'
True to the heartbeat the passion and the formin'
This rollercoaster's the one I stood in line for
Hands in the air these upside downs here are paid for
Make this relevant and here what you gotta hear
I'm recordin' all the secrets of my silent shed
Don't think about it just absorb everything you taste
If it set you free you gonna find the ways
You're who you gonna be unless you choose otherwise
If you let it flow the universe will empathize
Check your programs they monitorin' your sanity
Now close your eyes inside you find the clarity
It's automatic!
[Hook]
[Floetry]
Free your body know this ought to be open
Then lose control just let it happen then
Live at it and set it
Move again your clarity start to assume again
I know this one twist will feel it in
You think you don't know the engine (???)
But it's so automatic
So so so automatic
[Gift of Gab]
It's automative, beyond the common logic native
Beyond the ball around my drama now I'm divin' waitin
So stop and wait this, now operate it on the wavelength
A thought of way is presented by true laws of nature
Across the nation a lost of patience is cost inflation
So caught in waitin', and contemplatin' obligations
Read up inaugurations politrations violatin
And all the haters all up it cannot invadin'
The honest tension, two orders sacred not created
Good thought I made it!! I'm born beyond the constellations
So concetratin', and follow man we all are awakin'
It's automative, you gotta make it follow faith in
Come on come on!

Galvanize Your Mind for ‘The Shift’
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010
This video is about a movie being made from a movement. There's some interesting footage of people in action at a grass roots level. I have long wanted to be the kind of person who makes a difference but it seems I was always getting in my own way.
I didn't always know that's what I was doing but as I look back on the past with the knowledge and experience I have now, I know..."It was all me, every bit of it me."
I proclaim that 2010 is going to be an exception to the rule. If there's a shift going on (and I do believe there is) I want to be a part of it.
I have three goodies for you and each one will contribute to galvanizing your mind and preparing you get out of your own way and take action on your dreams and desires:
1) a free hypnosis MP3 titled Create the Life You Want at my iCreateHabits.com blog
2. Songs to Galvanize Your Mind list available here.
3. The Sheri and Erin Show on Blog Talk Radio.
Each of these goodies will give your mind what it needs to live free from fear so you can take part in 'The Shift' if you're ready.
