AllThingsD reporters ousted of Yahoo event

19 May

Yahoo plans for Tumblr leaves media behind

by Bernard-Charles

Kara Swisher and Peter Kafka are on the out list for Yahoo’s official event covering the company’s plans to buy out Tumblr for 1.1 billion dollars. The reporters from AllThingsD.com (a technology website) were the first to report on the social media deal according to The New York Times.

Swisher tweeted the response from Anne Espiritu, Yahoo’s public relations leader.

This is disheartening that a reputable news site that reported the news first isn’t given a valid opportunity to appear at the event. I am very certain that more so-called established news sources will be there to cover the news rather conservatively as this is a world motivated by nickel and dimes. Like my mom has always said “Money talks and bullshit walks.”

Personally, I think Swisher’s and Kafka’s article reporting the acquisition of Tumblr is well written and does reveal some positive nature of the business transaction. Nothing too outlandish to get banned from the event. So why?

No comment from Yahoo authority. Just a speculation that they don’t have enough money to buy more space to accommodate everyone. I mean who really has a billion dollars to buy out at a fan infested hipster blogging company anyway. Don’t even get me started on the Tumblr-porn agreement.

Ellen addresses Abercrombie & Fitch inequality

17 May

Fake american clothing since 1892

by Bernard-Charles

I knew there was something odd about the popular kids in school getting their school uniforms and clothes from Abercrombie & Fitch. It wasn’t just about how much money mommy and daddy makes, but the size in which your body rocked out that coolness factor. Ellen DeGeneres, a spokesperson for being human, weighed in on the clothing controversy.

This company surely has gotten everyone brain washed over what is really cool when it comes to clothing. Even the CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, Michael S. Jeffries came out of the closet to say what any other leader in controversy would say:

“A&F is an aspirational brand that, like most specialty apparel brands, targets its marketing at a particular segment of customers,” he said in the statement. “However, we care about the broader communities in which we operate and are strongly committed to diversity and inclusion.” - Los Angeles Times

Reading the article further you will see that Jeffries doesn’t apologize for his heartless remarks but chooses the word “regret” to talk about how people misinterpreted his words. Another silly businessman dodging the truth.

I never liked walking into A&F period because the place is a dark hot mess of walking twigs. As a male, I am constantly bombarded with the masculine undertone to have uber muscles to carry my feather light girl away. Too bad for this image because I am gay.

Point in case, this isn’t a store you want to shop at if you’re seeking real authentic American product because most of America isn’t at all what A&F is targeting. It’s just another business feeding people the wrong impression of what it means to be fierce. Not even their cologne can hide this smelly act.

Oracle-X card deck bridges left and right brain thinking

15 May

The intuitive tool of the future

by Bernard-Charles

oracle x tarot cards photoOracle-X: The Intuitive Tool of the Future  is the newest oracle deck in my tarot card collection and the only one that I can expand and personalize over time. The creator, David Croft, allows users to purchase additional cards online that best fits their left and right brain operations. He recently released the news of 22 new cards in production mentioned on his exclusive Oracle-X Facebook group.

Within these cards are some very useful cards that allow owners with extended decks to drill deeper into their intuition and be able to bring [out] ‘aspects’ a little easier.

Cards like hummingbird, jelly, and tightrope are just a few of the new arrivals. I haven’t yet purchased individual cards online, but might need to once my post-graduate life begins to change course and jelly just sounds deliciously gooey.

My first steps with Oracle-X

David contacted me at the end of last year about his unique 36 card deck because he saw my color card readings on YouTube and thought this deck would speak to me. Afterall, I am America’s Future Talk Show Host so the deck and me do have something in common already…we care about the future! David and I exchanged messages back and forth and agreed that I would “play” with the cards, create a blog post and videotape a testimony. In return, I would be compensated for my work. (I was by the way.)

It took months to adapt to the cards with my travel schedule and oh so fancy adventure with miracles, but lastly I have completed all aspects of our agreement and I invite you to check out my first video testimonial on Oracle-X: The Intuitive Tool of the Future.
