Food for Thought...
When the Past Should be Left in the Past...
so when should questions about the past be simply left unknown?
lately i've found myself talking/curious about the past, you know the thing that is dead and gone, never coming back and what i should believe has nothing to do with the present. so the real question on my mind is what are things that should be simply left in the past and left un told for those to know. when do you draw the line and stop asking about one's past. what questions do you ask that will give you the answers you want and not feed you answers that could possibly ruin things...
one will never know
so when is it safe to say what done is done and to leave well enough alone?

dedicated to a soldier
this is dedicated to one of the fam
one of the rocks that holds me down and keeps me humble
the girl who will always remind me that love is out there and the one that through thick and thin is there no matter what goes down... excluding if one is camping and has to go pee in the middle of the night...
[sorry girl but im holding that against you until you die]
this is dedicated to my girl Shak...
the one only other girl who was in my leadership class of 11.. my fam for the year the 9 boy 2 girl gym class. the one who i went spulunking with, shared a tent with, shared a changeroom with and SOOOO MANY MEMORIES WITH!
happy belated birthday and i love you
you are a strong independent woman whom i love and will always love
holding it strong
my girl shakeira xox
in honour of a true poet
not too long ago i decided that i was going to randomly do a post dedicated to one of my friends so i decided this one is going to be going out to my boy kirk a 21st century poet.
DUB POETRY
for those who don't know what dub poetry here is a brief low down.
so it's a legit west indian thing which involved spoken word over some reggae rhtythms. don't get it twisted with rap music this form of poetic expression is a little more sophisticate and deep than your average soulja boy imitation of rap music. although dub poetry is sometimes performed with music it is felt at most strong when it is simpy performed without the backing music, simply expressed with the speech pronounced and accentuated with rhythm and dramatic stylization of gesture. the poet would normally be expressed in such ways with echo, reverb, dubbed spontaneously or even with the use of call and response by the audience.
so this piece was dedicated to one of my best friends who is back home in jamaica for the rest of the summer but is dearly missed, especially during the upcoming caribana weekend. i thought what a better way to dedicate something to him by letting the world a little more aware of one of his deepest passions asides his fam of course.
dedicated to my one and only poet ♥

video kills big tune
This post is the official death of Music Videos as we know it.
So recently Toronto born rapper Drake has been tearing it up in both Canada and the States thanks to his affiliation with lil Wayne. His jam best i ever had has been everywhere and was even performed at the BET awards this year. it was a solid tune and everyone was excited for his music video to come out, especially since everyone was hearing that kanye was directing it and there would be nuff cameos in it.
so much anticipated the video airs just before canada day to be a complete disaster...
Although it would seem i simply disliked it as there were only girls in it with their boobs falling out and what not, but even after reading all the youtube comments, hearing reviews about it on tv and the radio and simply hearing about it from my guy friends, it seems as this video was a complete waste of good camera time, cameos and the distruction of a perfectly good song.
after finding taking in the fact that kanye directed this i had lost a lot of faith in his ability to direct music videos, making me extremely nervous for the kid cudi video he was about to help direct for: make her say - kid cudi ft. kanye west and common. but thankfully i find he was able to redeem himself by making a pretty good music video once again and completing a good song with a decent video
so all i hafta say is after watching the painful best i ever had video [ps first and last time ever to watch this video] i have officially lost all faith in music videos, even after the sick music videos that michael jackson and missy elliot has made...

Where did my summer go?
so i am quite disappointed with the shitty weather that we are currently experiencing... at the beginning of june when the weather was really nice and i was stuck inside i would constantly remind myself that their was a lot of summer left and not to worry about missing the nice weather. im pretty sad that the nice weather is missing in action and that its pouring buckets outside but extremely humid..
what is going on ?!
anyways that is my minor vent about how not only is the weather bumming my summer but also the fact that unemployment really sucks!

Louis Cordice
Louis Cordice a.k.a Blaise Zabini (of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince)
[tall dark and handsome on the left]
also known as the new official love of my life
He was a member of the Slytherin house and the new apple of my eye.
i am actually really sad that when you google image his name he only has a few head shot pictures and so i cannot creep his face and/or pictures on the internet.
Blaise Zabini
is a prejuduce towards muggle born Slytherin, who is famous because his mother was a very beautiful and famous witch because she had been widowed a total of 7 times. he wasn't an important part of the Harry Potter books but he was mentioned several times, and received a lot of camera time because he is good friends with Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. But in reality the reason why this character got so much camera time was because of his charming good looks and gorgeousness....
Let me add he is on the quiddich team and wears the best number a.k.a my number 6!
this is my obsession of the day

lion's den
this is my first review that im going to do
Lion's Den
is a small english pub in a nice suburban area
at first when you drive by you think it would be one of those gloomy pubs with poor lighting and old english men drinking followed by a smoke ring around the bar filling their lungs with immense levels of second hand smoke.
well for the first time two of my friends and i went there for my friend paren's first legal drink
when we walked through the door to find that tuesday nights are karaoke night. it was aweomse and labatt blue pitchers were under 12 dollars and it was bomb. the food was decently priced and their sweet potato fries were BOMB!

so once the karaoke got going, there were many good singers, and some pretty bad ones...
but once the night got late... i didn't think the night could get any better until..
an old brown west indian man got on the stage and sang the best song of life:
THE DOLLAR WINE DANCE
it was the perfect way to end a good solid night and has no forever placed the Lion's Den as a solid pub to go to!

allow me to introduce myself...
my life revolves around the simple things in life:
food
music
family
friends
sports
they have yet to invent a word to properly describe me as i am very much a simple individual with random characteristics. i have an obsession with old school music, it inspires the way i think, the way i would like to dress [as in if i had money and if it weren't the recession of course] and of course what i listen to. i often do not have a loss of words, but if words to not describe my current emotions the empty space of air is filled with an abnormal noise, one may find annoying and or freightening. i am a music and sport obsessor, i play sports and am obsessed with music. not only am i a victim to facebook creeping but i love watching pointless shows like laguna beach, but do watch it with the knowledge it is scripted reality and with hopes to be nowhere near similar to them minus their wealth and good hair. i love mtv, muchmusic, bet, sports channels [especially when the raps are on it!], family is my life, and food network completes me.
... for now this is all you need to know
a.k.a until i figure out something else to say about myself that is all
