Smoke To That

Wiz Khalifa has captured the attention of the Music World for the past year after stepping onto the mainstream scene with “Black & Yellow“. With a string of hits, appearances and a pairing up with doppelganger Snoop Dogg, Wiz will now see his Sophomore Album “O.N.I.F.C.” Debut at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 Chart, beating out Alicia Keys after just one week at #1 with “Girl On Fire” which sold 161,000 copies.

The KIng of Next Week's Billboard Chart

One day sales of ONIFC are projected to bring his week total at around 150,000 copies. A distant 2nd is Ke$ha… with her new video, song and performances filled with iLLuminati Symbolism, chanting mantras like “We’re Gonna Die Young“. Personally, I think Spongebob Squarepants needs to check herself.

But Wiz’s success comes as an early Christmas Gift, which is bundled with a new bundle of joy, as him and girlfriend Amber Rose will be welcoming their first child. Wiz also made the public announcement that He and Amber will have a Legal Wedding Ceremony within the next few weeks.

A Beautiful Honor For A Beautiful Soul

Pope John Paul II, likely World History’s most revered of Pontificates, was Beatified by Pope Benedict XVI today in St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City today before a crowd of nearly 2 Million.

The Catholic Church declared Pope John Paul II “Blessed” which sets him at one level below Sainthood.  He was given immediate approval to Beatification by Pope Benedict when the crowd at John Paul’s funeral chanted “Santo Subito“, which is Italian for “Saint Immediately“.

The Catholic Church needed a miracle to beatify him when in 2006, Sister Marie Simon-Pierre, a French nun, confined to bed by Parkinson’s Disease, claimed she had ‘complete and lasting cure after members of her community prayed for the intercession of Pope John Paul II.  A second miracle is needed in order to declare Pope John Paul II a Saint.

Vials of Pope John Paul II’s blood were also on display during the beatification ceremony.  The blood was taken from him during his final stages of illness in case he needed a blood transfusion.  The vials were used as a relic for the Mass for his beatifcation.

While I find Pope John Paul II’s Beatification process as a great honor… I would honestly have to say that vials of blood seems very Non-Catholic Church to me.
