Paragon the Pharaoh
I am a lifetime learner who likes to share his experiences and find new adventures. My show is dynamic, engaging, impactful, and practical
This is a quick test show that I am attemping with my iPad and BTR. I'll take the opportunity to use cross formats to share some thoughts. I really see HFT doing well in the near future. I will share some of my vision and goals as I test BTR on iPad. Don't you love technology? Go Team Science!
Now it is our pleasure to speak to Mehmet Usanmaz or "Marty". He is also part of that fabulous organization called "Haitian FREE Thinkers". He is from Turkey. He is American. He is smart. He loves the Cranberries. He is an atheist. What else can you ask for?
Emergency show where I'm joined by secret guests and talk about what ever we need to. Flexibility and comedy will be key for this one.
Join me and a special guest as we discuss news, notes, and whatever else we want. I have more time to talk now and want to use it to the fullest. It will be informative and entertaining.
Tonight I debut my 30 day extravaganza of Premium Status with an interview with Claudine of Haitian FREE Thinkers. She has been one of the more consistent Haitian contributors of our fledgling page.
She stops by and tell us a little bit about herself and how she became an unbeliever.
I interview a brother from another mother, Mr. Max Charles. He had me watch a video on Freemasonry that was interesting. We will talk about that and much more. We always have interesting conversations. Now you get a chance to listen to us spar. Also, I will update the world on the happenings of Haitian FREE Thinkers and much more.
Claudy Jean Jeune is one of a few theists that are part of Haitian FREE Thinkers. He has agreed to an interview on religion and whatever comes to mind. This may be the 1st of hopefully many atheist/theist dialogues as a result of Haitian FREE Thinkers. Join us as we explore all things Claudy.
James had so much fun that he wanted to do a 2nd interview. Now how can I turn that down? We will discuss the artistic side of Mr. Mondesi. 30 minutes just isn't enough for all this fun and facts.
The ranks of Haitian FREE Thinkers have swelled in the past few weeks. Today I interview James Mondesi of Florida. James is another Haitian non-believer who thought he was alone. We will learn a little bit about Mr. Mondesi and build towards public dialogues with the Haitian community about thinking critically and creating a better person and society. Hopefully men like James will inspire the other closeted seculars in Haitian society to be proud to embrace reality.
Fred is a great friend of mine. We agreed to record an unscripted conversation. We always have deep thoughts on a myriad of topics.
We will see where we go on this one. This is how we get down!
Émelyne Museaux will grace us with her presence once again to finish up our interview. Check out part 1 show #12. Haitian FREE Thinkers has grown past my original goal and it seems like we have a bright future ahead.
We will ask questions, get answers, take a few calls, and more.
I interview my fellow Haitian atheist Émelyne Museaux. As of now Haitian secular people are hard to find. That is why I started "Haitian FreeThinkers" on Facebook to round up those "stray and frustrated cats." We will address the challenges that are unique to Haitians who don't drink the religious Cool-Aid.
Many people have talked about change for Haiti. Few have actually done the work to improve Haiti. I interview a young man who is the founder of Sovereign Haiti Initiative and has ambitious plans for his home country of Haiti.
Ryan Laing is a friend of mine who is ambitious and has an interesting life story. He recently told me of an exciting and timely documentary that he is working on dealing with a little known disorder. ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It is a medical diagnosis which causes behavioral problems. ADHD used to be considered a childhood disorder, but now we know that over 60 percent of children with ADHD carry it into adulthood. An estimated 4.5 percent of adults have ADHD in the United States. Here is a helpful website with more information: http://www.adhdlifeproject.org/information/what-is-adhd
I always have ideas that I want to come true. Tonight I discuss a few of these. Keep in mind that these notions all originated from me. - Tour De Jacmel (North Miami Run) - Irrigation Highway - Free Education Online
I was traumatized by a documentary called "Meet your Meat". J. Block stops by to show us love. Find out more about my "jihad" with meat!
In this show we talk about our hiatus. We will touch on a multitude of topics. It is truly a mixed bag of goodies. "If you can control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself. If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one." — Carter G. Woodson (The Mis-Education of the Negro)
Few words strike fear like "Voodoo". It is mysterious. It is taboo. But what is it exactly? Growing up in Haiti meant hearing tales of magic, revenge, unimaginable terror, and superstition. We examine this phenomenon called Voodoo.
This is my review and critique of one of my favorite books. Reading is a wonderful ability and gift. Very few books have had the impact that this book had on me.
This show covers a timely topic that is near and dear to my heart and is something that most of us can relate to and understand.
In this episode I cover growing up in Haiti, moving and adjusting to the US, and the current state of affairs with the Haitian Diaspora.
Interview with Valerie Cine Bien-Aime. Valerie has a degree in Elementary Education with an ESOL endorsement from Barry University. In the summer of 2010 she took a job teaching English in the United Arab Emirates. This is the story of how she got the position and her experience in the United Arab Emirates. She talks about her experience and what she learned in her travels.
In this show I discuss "The Bible Handbook" by G. W. Foote and W. P. Ball. This book is a book on the Bible by two relatively obscure authors that was instrumental in my movement towards atheism.
