The Taoism (Daoism) of R. Kelly: How Rihanna, Chris Brown and Aaliyah share a connection
I was driving home last night after a long first day with the students and a coaches meeting after school at 6. The meeting was scheduled just enough to not really allow me to go home and spend any significant time, without having to leave to come back for the meeting. The meeting was actually okay, because they served dinner (which was just pasta, salad and desert, but it was really good and the desert, which I didn’t have looked outstanding) and they gave us some free gear, which I like, except the part that it looks like we are (New coaching shirt, T-shirts and mock turtlenecks) repping Adidas this year from Nike last year. But, free is free and the gear looks good.
On my way back, I was listening to a mixtape (on CD of course, as who still has a tape player?….even though I still have some actual mixtapes) and on this tape it had the remix of Every Girl, featuring R. Kelly. Here is a sample of his lines…

really… You are going to have some hating ass females start rubbing on one another? Sign me up! But, I am not talented enough to do that, but this guy is. What kind of Dee-bo mind control does this guy have on women? Let’s go through his past, with the help of Amanda Hess and her blog.
1995: R. Kelly, 27, marries 15-year-old Aaliyah while working with her on her debut album titled, strangely enough, “Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number.”
This one is easy to see. First, Aaliyah, R.I.P. Your birthday was a few days ago and we throw out a belated B-day shout out. The girl was only 15 and she was surrounded by a famous recording artist that she looked up do and admired his craft. This was the proverbial taking candy from a baby. Another website quotes the Post about the relationship
damn..dude stay out of the cookie jar!
Added from Chicago Times & NY Post Article: Aaliyah was 12 when she was first introduced to R. Kelly by her uncle Barry Hankerson. Sources said that a naive young Aailyah had a crush on Kelly, but was caught by surprise when Kelly suddenly arranged the marriage. He took her to a suburban Chicago hotel room for a quickie marriage ceremony. Kelly used a phony marriage certificate that listed her age as 18 and the two were legally hitched. The union was later annulled, and Aaliyah was sworn to secrecy and waived all civil claims against Kelly.
2002: R. Kelly, 35, is “indicted on 21 counts of having sexual intercourse with a minor.” He is later acquitted.
We forget that this is just not having sex with an underage girl, which is shameful and repulsive (Jason…we are looking in your direction, since you might have some inside R. Kelly knowledge, since you look up to him and Wilt) put that he urinated on this young girl as well. But, everyone is entiteld to their day in court, from the Court of Public Opinion
to the actual Courthouse
2008: R. Kelly, 41, tells BET:
BET: Let me ask you something real that millions of Americans are thinking about and wondering about you. Do you like teenage girls?
Kelly: When you say teenage, how old are we talking?
BET: Girls who are teenagers.
Kelly: 19?
BET: 19 and younger.
Kelly: I have some 19-year-old friends, but I don’t like anybody illegal if that’s what we’re talking about, underage.
I think that the question is a trap to show that the guy doesn’t have boundaries. Don’t mistake a good trap question for something that is wrong, I am only stating the obvious that this is designed to paint him in the worst possible light and he doesn’t care.
2009: R. Kelly, 42, releases a song in which he declares, “I want to fuck every girl in the world.” Among them: a girl, her friend, her sister, her cousin, her mom, and “the Statue of Liberty.”
At least he isn’t Mack Maine in the track
[Mack Maine:]
And bitch I’m Mack Maine -aine -aine -aine
Sanaa Lathan
Megan Good
Angelina Jolie
Hah
D Woods
For free suites I’d give Paris Hilton all-nighters
In about 3 years, holla at me Miley Cyrus
I don’t discriminate, no not at all
Kit kat a midget if that ass soft I break her off
I exchange V cards with the retards
And get behind the Christian like Dior cause he are
Mack Mizzo
Baby
Cause he are Mack Mizzo
Baby
The dude first says that for some free Hilton suites that he would beat up the coochie of Paris Hilton. Wow. Regardless of what you think about her and her looks (good looking, annoying and seems airheaded, although that is clearly an image she uses, so intelligence is hard to discern) SHE HAS THE HERPS!!!!!
Now, how would I know? I have never been with Paris, or even know anyone who actually knows her. But, what I do have is the basic ability to use the internet, so information is at my disposal.
Ouch! This is another reason why you should pay your bills....
Here is a copy of her prescription…
Why would you risk your health for a free room? Aren’t you a rapper with a lot of loot? But, why be shocked, since he would and has already sized up Miley Cyrus.
But, when I was thinking of the title, I had this and other thoughts rolling through the brain on the drive home. How do men like R. Kelly have a past like that and still get the skins? Chris Brown had to two piece Rihanna to get her off his phone, but she is still in love with him? Why? Is the Vitamin D that nutritious for them? Having to show violence is no way to have a relationship, even though I know that flies in the face of Rule Number One here at Too Old…Keep your pimp hand strong.
So, I went all Eastern Philosophy on you to figure out things.
Taoism (pronounced as Daoism) refers to a variety of related philosophical and religious traditions and concepts that have influenced East Asia for over two millennia and the West for over two centuries.[1] The word 道, Tao (or Dao, depending on the romanization scheme), means ‘path’ or ‘way’, although in Chinese folk religion and philosophy it has taken on more abstract meanings. Taoist propriety and ethics emphasize the Three Jewels of the Tao: compassion, moderation, and humility. Taoist thought generally focuses on nature, men-cosmos correspondence (天人相应), health, longevity, wu wei (action through inaction), liberty, and spontaneity.
So, it seems that R. Kelly has none of this. But, like a friend of mine was saying, ” You don’t see the other side of him…” and she was right. I don’t see things behind closed doors. Maybe he really is the Piped Paper of R&B.
Lil Wayne falls into this category. He is on the song Every Girl as well, and he raps about the amount of tail he gets and what he is looking for. The thing about him is, even though is not classically handsome ( or good looking in any sense of the definition) he pulls mad tail. It can’t be just about the fame, because some of his conquests have been famous as well.
Maybe the other side of these people is Tao that we don’t see. Either that, or voodoo…
Vacation Thoughts
I’ve been vacationing near Narragansett, RI for a few days now, and loving it. I don’t want to leave. Maybe, somewhere in my mind, I never will.
Even on vacation though, my mind wanders and I need to jot things down, or else they’ll vanish forever.
OMG! Reading is fundamental!
–Today, on the beach, I noticed a young woman was reading LA Candy, the novel from Lauren Conrad, who, like Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Perez Hilton, and loads of other people out there, is famous without doing anything of substance.
This woman at the beach was maybe in her early 20s. She had a belly ring, a tramp stamp, and was on some mobile device a half-dozen times. She was on a blanket right near us. Walking to and from the water with a bucket full of water for my kids 50 or so times, I had little choice but to notice.
I have no idea who this young woman is, whether or not she’s smart, or has a good job (she’s on the beach on a Tuesday…with her friends…anything’s possible I guess…), or is having one last hurrah before going back to school.
But, if I were single and 10 years younger let’s say, based on outward appearacnes, I’d look the other way. I’d be a little jealous though. It would be nice to have an uncluttered, empty mind, I guess.
I will say this, though. It is nice to see that Lauren Conrad, like Dan Brown and countless other best-selling authors, is helping her fans rediscover literacy. Good for her.
–Sunday night, I watched most of the Yankees-Red Sox game, and one of the announcers mentioned that, when Tim Wakefield comes off the disabled list, he will be caught by Victor Martinez, and not Jason Varitek.
From an offensive standpoint, that makes a lot of sense. Martinez is far superior to Varitek with the bat.
However, according to the announcer, Martinez has never caught a knuckleball before during a game.
Now, the last time I checked, Victor Martinez didn’t have the best reputation as a defensive catcher, which is why he has seen time at 1B and DH in recent years. Why on earth would the Sox risk their chances at a postseason berth using Martinez behind the plate with Wakefield when they have a catcher in Jason Varitek who has won a Gold Glove and is widely-considered a good defensive catcher?
Oh yeah, he can’t catch a knuckleball either.
Which begs the question…how overrated is Jason Varitek? Mildly, very, or highly?
I mean, he won a Gold Glove in 2005 for what exactly? His good looks? Picking a fight with A-Rod in 2004?
Jason Varitek has thrown out 24% of would-be base-stealers for his career. His best single season was 2002, when he gunned down 28% of those trying to steal on him.
Jorge Posada has long been maligned for his defensive skills as a catcher. Yet, for his career, he has thrown out 29% of would-be base-stealers, with a career-best 40% mark in 1998.
Posada far outshines Varitek as a hitter, and hasn’t gotten his due as a defensive catcher.
Either that, or Jason Varitek, Great Defensive Catcher, is merely a creation of the Boston media, and the national baseball wonks just believed the local guys.
–The surf down here on Saturday night and Sunday was great, thanks to Hurricane Bill. I don’t think Kelly Slater was here or anything, but there were lots of folks enjoying the big waves.
I stood by and watched. I’m good at that.
–Six-year old boys and horseshoe crabs are a great combination. My son found three live horseshoes in a span of 10 minutes on Sunday morning during high tide. He felt like a marine biologist, and I was just proud and savoring every second of it.
–I caught a few series of the Denver-Seattle preseason game the other night while I was flipping channels. Kyle Orton looked decisive, and the Broncos offense moved the ball well.
I’m curious to see what the reception will be for Jay Cutler when he and the Bears play in Denver. My feeling is that, outwardly, Cutler will treat it like his own personal Super Bowl, and the Broncos will, outwardly, write the matchup off as a scheduling quirk and say they’ve moved on from the Cutler Error.
But I wouldn’t be stunned if Cutler gets hit. A lot.
–By the way, some die-hard Broncos fans have a site out there called Mile High Report that is an absolute must-read if you have even a passing interest in the goings-on of the Denver Broncos. If every fanbase has a site that is as dedicated or as well-written and maintained as MHR, that would be a great thing. Here’s a link:
http://www.milehighreport.com/
Or, you can just go back to the Master Procrastinator front page and find it on the blogroll. Tremendous site.
–Derek Jeter is 19 hits away from breaking the record for most hits by a New York Yankee, set by Lou Gehrig, one of the all-time greats in the history of the game of baseball.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Jeter is one of the best to ever play the game.
–Former Yankee Bobby Abreu is getting a lot of press lately and is beginning to garner some support as a potential MVP candidate in the American League.
Abreu’s knack for getting on base has always had value. The fact that he is imparting this skill on to the young Latin players on the Anaheim Angels speaks more to his heretofore unknown leadership ability than it does to anything else.
To me, Abreu is not the MVP of the AL (it’s Joe Mauer, and it’s not close). However, his influence on the likes of Juan Rivera, Chone Figgins, Erick Aybar and others, shows that there was more to his quiet nature than Yankees fans saw in his time in Pinstripes.
–While on vacation, we’ve rented a cottage near the beach and cooked our own food, for the most part. We bought a little portable Weber charcoal grill a couple of weeks ago to use here.
Prior to maybe two weeks ago, I’d never used anything but a propane-powered grill before. After buying this Weber and using it on burgers, chicken, hot dogs, corn on the cob, and a few other things, I may never go back to propane.
I never understood when people said that food coming off a charcoal grill tasted better, but I get it now. I’ll have to experiment with wood chips, rubs and other flavor-enhancers as I gain more practice and confidence.
–Tonight, while out looking at the lighthouse on Point Judith, we went to Crazy Burger for supper.
I had a burger I’ll have to try and duplicate one of these days. They pressed black beans in the beef, cooked it, then served it on a tortilla with avocado and salsa, and with sweet potato fries on the side.
If you’re ever down in Narragansett, you have to find this place. It’s a small restaurant, but it’s worth discovering and trying.

–Getting back to the AL MVP for this year…I am of the opinion that, unless Joe Mauer winds up hurt for the rest of the season, that it’s his award to lose.
Still, as names are creeping into the conversation, I can’t help but wonder why no one is touting Texas’ Michael Young for the award?
The guy is like Derek Jeter, but without the hype, endorsements, celebrity girlfriends, or championships.
After moving to 3B this year to make room for defensive whiz Elvis Andrus at shortstop, all Young has done is have the best season of his career to this point. He’s on his way to a 6th season with 200 or more hits and a .300 or better batting average. He’s tied his career high in HR and he’s walking more.
Young is the veteran presence in the Texas clubhouse that everyone looks too for guidance. In essence, he’s their captain.
If he were in New York, he’d be starring in Gillette commercials with Tiger Woods and Roger Federer. Instead, he’s in Texas, playing in the shadow of the Dallas Cowboys, and toiling away in near-anonymity.
If he keeps hitting and helps will the Rangers past the Boston Red Sox for the AL Wildcard, baseball fans and casual sports fans everywhere will know who Michael Young is.
