It looks like Soca music is being given a category at the 2006 Grammy Aways. Nice to see that music from around outside the US is getting recognised. And because its from my birth land, its extra sweet too. |

I has been forever.
Have this plan to attend my first ever dancehall/reggae concert. Hot97's On The Reggae Tip Live. Already bought the tickets.
Gonna be a lot of artists there that I have only heard on radio or seen on video. Really looking forward to it.
There is a dark cloud though. There is heavy tension between myself and the person accompanying me. We haven't spoken in 2 days. Me because she was wrong and had an attitude and her because of pride and her attitude.
My laptop has died and my unix box is being rebuilt, so i'm without forms of IM commuications. Yeh i have an XP desktop but i'm accustomed to working on it and having the others for doing other things. I'll try to get by, but i won't be as available as before. I tried aimexpress and forgot it was up so when a friend had IM'd me this morning i was a lil suspicious of wrong doing. Its cool though just my lil paranoia.
NYC has started getting crazy with the RNC next week. I work far enough to not be affected too much, but my train passes there to and from work. We'll see how it goes. |

So its been a long time. and it will be a long time again.
So whats new. Finally overcoming my fear of being behind the wheel of a vehicle. So much so i went driving without any id today, in brooklyn. I can just see myself on the 6pm, 11pm and 7am news. THen again maybe it was fear that made me forgot id. oh well
My ex, i'm over her. Well sort of I'm taking her to dinner next week. Not finalized but heh. I haven't seen her since the break up but we talk 3-4x a week. So a face to face is to see where things stand.
I haven't looked much at this live journal but my friend introduced my to the Melanin-Love community. Those pages are really hooked up. Shout outs to you Lanai
About it being a long time again. Heading to the beautiful republic of trinidad and tobago in 2wks. Will be gone for 2wks. Yes home sweet home.
Hope to be back in full swing though.
Once things settle down. I will re-arrange this dreary place.Current Mood:  nostalgic Current Music: Back in times dancehall

| » Busy doing nothing really |
Yeh its been while. I have been busy fulfilling my friendly obligations. Why? Because 1 good turn deserves another. I was always much of a loner, a loner with a good bit of friends. But i learned that i wasn't being a friend. So i now out and about. Attending various events, visiting folks making phone calls. I still haven't gotten around to just hanging out or partying and i may never.
I hope next week is more productive for me compared to this one. It was good communicating with my friends and getting things that are on my mind out.
On another note, there is a budding Picasso around here. She knows who she is.

| » Music Withdrawal |
Its been 9 days without my ipod and i'm having serious withdrawal problems. Don't believe me, I have the Nomad Jukebox, Nomad IIc, Sony Minidisc and a Archos Jukebox. Yet I look at them with disdain, because my iPod was sent in for repair. I just can't bring myself to using any of them. The train rides are boring, i either read or stare at ladies (they must think i'm a perv), or i doze off.
Hopefull I can get it back in time for next week. I have a couple of grads to attend and if they are anything like mine, well......
I'm unsure of my employment status of late, but i don't want to do anything yet. I want to see my kids (another country). If i seek another job now, i know i won't get sufficient time to see them soon.

| » About past girlfriends |
One of my old girlfriends called yesterday, from a private number and I thought i was another past gf. Being a lil dissappoint i guess, because i told her "I don't have to tell you everything I do", That really upset her. I felt really bad, because it wasn't meant as a negative comment. Well she hasn't called back yet. I really do have a lengthy apology and making up to do.
Another past gf calls and asks if i forgot her number and that i don't call. I was busy at that moment so i return the call the later. Guess she was busy too because the convo was hurried and didn't last long.
Went to see another past gf at the hospital. I don't like hospitals/sick ppl/illness in general. I feel really helpless when it comes to that and I don't like feeling helpless. So i see her there, machines hooked up, using the breath strengthen apparatus and i began to wonder why did i break up with her. We are both still single (by choice). So i hung out there, we talked joked, laughed it was good. I'm going to see her again today.
Its very interesting that none of my past gf have anything in common with each other as far as looks attitude, goals, etc.
All through all this, the one past gf that i'm expecting the call from hasn't call.......

I just can't help being nice to ppl i like, even though they hurt me. I will say the worst things, wish harm on their grand kids 10 removed, but let them call me and i'm all smiles. I must say this last time was too much. I was thinking had roots (obheah,voodoo) put on me. I fell fast and hard. The break up was the same. Don't think i will ever get over it. I was just looking at her pics. Haven't spoken to her in ages. She called today, but since i rarely answer private calls i missed it. I know it will never be the same with us. Too much has happened too fast without enough communication i believe.

| » Cops and Criminals |
How stupid do you have to be? I'm sure a lil kid will tell you that drugs a bad and its dumb to be rolling a spliff in your parked car, with your ligths on. Of course the cops will interrupt your enjoyment. Cops there are no nice looking, passable hookers where i live. They all look like the dirty dope fiends they are. So if there is a hot looking very well dressed butter rican walking up and down bet 2 blks NO ONE will stop for her. And pls move the white van, its so out of place.
Criminals the cops drive around in yellow cabs, dollar cabs, mini vans construction vans and they are white (most of the time). Common sense will tell you that they are not from the neighborhood. Why break the law in front of them.

Oldies music is so good. Have been listening to 102.something since last week when i'm at work. I can see why ppl say life was so good back then. The music was great. Music heals, soothes, makes you feel good, makes you angry. I have more or less returned to reggae, dancehall, dub after a long absense and then my keels over. The wait at Station A is 4hr avg. wtf? So i ordered a box for shipping it back, maybe i'll get back one with less scratches. I could have waited, but i'm a homebody. Unless something interesting is happening I would rather be at home, and there is hardly anything interesting happening. Oh I got 2 trance cds (mp3s) its not what i though it was gonna be. I figured it would be slow, heavy, kinda drug induced sounding, but its not, its fast, light and partyish. i don't know anybody who listens to trance, so hopefully its what it says it is. We need consistant soca radio stations in nyc. there are pirate stations, but they don't cover the city completely.
