The Fall After Summer..

(Dec/Jan 2010; NYE in NYC.)

Summer's coming to an end and we can all see and feel the change in environment. The days are shorter, the weather is cooler, the sweaters are coming out and the crazy fun filled weekends will slowly decrease in time.. this saddens me.


(Feb 2010; Talay in NYC)

This summer has been one of my best summers since 2007 and that's thanks to a lot of people this year. Fall always reminds me that the end of the year is near and I always try to reminisce on all the memories that I've collected since January. It's been a wild ride and I hope it all continues for 2011. 2011.. sounds so futuristic, yet it's not.


(March 2010; WMC in MIA with our NYC fam.)

So much has happened in August, all memories I'll never forget. You ever have events happen in life where you make yourself take a mental picture for later? Well, I've been taking a mental video recording for later.. making sure it's all worth while when it all flashes before my eyes.


(April 2010; AS's Birthday)

Summer flings, summer friendships, summer fun.. you can only hope that it lasts throughout the cold and pulls through anew for the following heated seasons. You. Make it happen. And me? I'll work for it. So that us? We'll be worth it. That's to all of you. I appreciate each and every one of you that has come into my life. I hope that you all stay and if not, I hope we make it a good run.


(May 2010; EW's Roof top pool party.)

September, October, November & December. Four whole months ahead till the new year and my birthday week and, for the first time ever, I'm not too excited for it. I'm living in the moments of right now, 4 months can wait. Still so much to do in what seems to be very little time. So many plans to carry out and trips for visits to be made. BC, MTL, MIA, NYC, LA, VEGAS... we coming for you; Europe, you too.


(June 2010; Northern Lighs Cruise Jam)

Live it up while you can, you only have one life to live. Make every second count, every party wild and fun, every friendship honest and trustworthy, every crush lustful, every spontaneous decision full of adrenaline and never regret or give up on what makes you smile. In the end, you are responsible for your own happiness in your only life; so, what's stopping you?
Hurry up! BE HAPPY!


(July 2010; LC's Birthday)

CREEP CREEP CREEP CREEP... I no scare... NO "D"!
It's my time & i'll go, slime.. join in or watch from the sidelines.

Happy Birthday to my RODB, PN. Best birthday thus far, if I may say.
Great music, great people, great times.


(Aug 2010; PN's Birthday)

I see you watching with your hands pressed to the window..
Keep watching, and no hands baby, it's just better that way.




You just need me.

Put You On Blast Pt. 2

Every now and then talent is brought to my attention and when I feel that it needs recognition, then I put them on blast; especially if it's Canadian talent. I am always one for my city and one for my country.

Ladies and gentlemen, please keep on a look out for Fabian coming straight out of Manitoba, Canada. This talented dude was brought to my attention a few weeks ago by a friend and if my blog can spread the word then I'm all for helping out. He writes his own material; music written lyrically from the heart and that's the kind of shit I like.

Check him out on YOUTUBE, ITSFABIAN & FACEBOOK.

I wish you the best of luck in the industry Fab, get ya shit in and get it done!!




On another tip;

Let me introduce a line to yall that should be recognized for its creativity, definition and uniqueness. It's called TRAGIC GLORY CLOTHING, big shout out to my boy T for starting this when he was 17 and still holding his shit down.

The concept behind Tragic Glory arose from the hardships of everyday struggle, and the will to change that. It is about turning trife life to lavish. We represent the constant struggle - physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially. We represent those who've had the utmost confidence in themselves to set out and achieve their dreams, despite the fall backs. Those who've made their success a statement to everyone who has ever doubted them. For everyone that has overcome the tragedies in life and those still working on finding a way out. For everyone who has gone from negative to positive, chasing the glory.

It’s also a tribute to all those that represent Tragic Glory and was sold short of their glory: people like Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Tupac Shakur, and Notorious B.I.G to name a few. They've single-handedly changed the world with the things that they've done, but they never got to enjoy what they've made a reality for some. They never got to see how much of what they've done has affected our lives today. That, too, is Tragic Glory.

Here are some examples of what is available:

Maybe It's Just Nothing At All.

When you involve yourself with something, anything, and you over indulge; when do you tell yourself that enough is enough? Are you able to even tell yourself that or do you just turn your eyes the other way and continue. Do you listen to the voices in your head or the feelings inside? Caught up in some twisted reality and now you don't know what to do.. so.. what do you do?


Curiousity is dangerous. You want to know things you don't need to know, things that will probably harm you and things that are just open ended questions that can be answered in so many ways. Prying for all of this is either something you need to do or something you should leave alone. How far will your curiousity push you? Sometimes, you wonder if you could just make him happy, whether it be in a platonic manner or otherwise. Sometimes, you wonder if the grass is really greener on the other side. Sometimes you wonder if there even is another side. Complications are to be expected in anything you do in life. Do you fall back and watch it burn or do you keep a strong shoulder, duck your head and go through with it? Risks; will you take them?


Persistence is optional. Choosing to push yourself in pursuing anything, you know that going into it, it will take some willingness and patience; some commitment and sacrifice; some good times and bad; and something that's most important, knowing that there will be a future of unknown. In the end, it is up to you to decide on whether or not it's all worth it. Will you stick through the rough times and try to see the good? Do you continue with this battle in your head? Should you cut it now and move the fuck on, forget it ever happened and just smile? Should you keep at it because you think it's the best thing to do? Harder than you think. Easier said than done. Risks; will you take them?


Acceptance brings you peace in mind. You will encounter and pass by events, people and questions in life every day. I find it easier to deal with things by just accepting it for what it is. Accept that there may be nothing, a future, an ending, complications and the unknown. It's not being pessimistic in my mind, it's being real. I'm a realist before all optimism and pessimism. Accept that you will have to work for what you want or believe in and accept that you may lose all you have invested in the end. In life you must accept that there will be unexpected lives and unexpected deaths, natural or not.. You wish life was easier but accept that this is how it is. Now that I've said that and if you understand me, then the question is a little easier to answer. Risks; will you take them?





& If you're here to creep, creep. I like knowing you have nothing better to do than to dwell on my well being :)

PS: SFFs & BFFs = HID.
so sweet, so sweet, so sweet.

Appreciating my past and loving my present.
Thank you to all involved for making it worthwhile.. ♥

Looking Forward To The Memories Of Right Now.

Damn, I didn't write a blog before the weekend so I'm just going to write it now. I would like to apologize to my PR agent, apparently I ruined his day at work on Friday because there wasn't a new blog LOL you stupid Q.


This weekend, so far, has been crazy fun. Caribana kick off party on Thursday was just out of control. Skybar rooftop had LadyLuck's private annual Caribana party and I've never seen so many guys on a roof top.. for the first in a long time, the girls were out numbered. Tones held it DOWN on the tunes while we held it down on the couches hahaha. Note to self; Stop mixing champagne with patron.. end result is not pretty.

Friday was out of control. Slow recovery from Thursday, great steak and mussel dinner, Drake had a private concert for his mother which was sweet and a good performance overall and Spice Safar was live. Mona never lets me down on a good jam. I swear the lack of sleep from that night is catching up to me today. Note to self; Stop mixing vodka with patron.. end result is a long messy night with a bad hang over in the AM.

Saturday was the BANA PARADE. Beautiful floats and costumes, the best tunes ever, people jumping fences to get into the parade (this was the funniest shit ever, these guys were huge and security was trying to stop the crowd until these dudes jumped the fence and pushed them aside hahaha), had my oxtail and jerk, my legs were done by 6pm, went home, napped for an hour, almost didn't wake up, made us get up and we went to muzik. Muzik, nonetheless, was a shit show for eeeveryone that went. NYC took over Toronto and I loved it. Made me miss the people in NY. Note to self; Re-read the first note and repeat it here. Clearly, you have bad habits.

Sunday is just starting. I don't know what the heck is going on and where I'll be tonight, but I trust it will follow the spontaneity of the weekend I've experienced thus far. Monday is recovery day, so glad we have it off. Then it's camping next week. My poor body and liver, how I survive this on a weekly basis, I don't know. I just know that I'm looking forward to the memories of right now. Note to self; Please remember all notes prior to your engagements today.


I'll write more when my brain is back in working order. Sorry if this isn't good enough for you Q/readers, but I am DONE. Back to nap.
