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 ♥
