ROCKWILDAZ liked the blog so much they asked if I want to work with them!


IF??!!

Is that even a question? lol!

I LOVE Rockwildaz!  Always referring anyone who wants to know where the hot events are in Jamaica over to their Facebook page!

And they're on twitter too: @rockwildaz!

It's amazing how just doing something I love can make unexpected people take notice and lead from one thing to another! :-)

As my friend (and the one who inspired me to take my interests to a blog of my own and off the small world of just my Facebook friends) said:

wow ....It's happening...Im telling you...that you are going to be a force from now on...they can tell you have some quality stuff......and the word will spread

Jamaica Star : Lady Saw opens studio - Artiste eager to produce Vybz Kartel : Entertainment : December 17, 2010

I have to say, our beloved Olympic track star Merlene Ottey could take a page from one of our most famous female dancehall stars! Lady Saw has used her career and her fame to make a positive contribution to those coming behind her in our society...from adoption and the beautiful song she made about women who cannot have biological children, to her studio to help the future dancehall stars in the generations after her. Say what you want about dancehall but it has given many a Jamaican a future where he formerly had none, and has kept some from a life of crime and poverty.

Plus, Lady Saw has always been known as a straight shooter, she says what's on her mind and truth be told, her lyrics are raw but guaranteed she says what many women are thinking but trained not to say!

R.I.P. -- remembering through my friend's favourite song: music unites us!

My recently deceased friend's favourite song...he was from the US Virgin Islands and I am from Jamaica, but it never ceases to amaze me how dancehall, reggae, and other music unites people across national, cultural, racial, socio-economic, and even religious barriers...



Playing it in memoriam...

LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2010! Sell OFFFFF!

All I have to say is, I NEEDED that recharge!  Never let me go so long without some good West Indian vibes and fun West Indian peoples to party with again!


It all started Saturday night with me getting ready for a night out...I hardly dress all the way up since I haven't been doing many outings this year, but I must have looked especially amazing because my daughter looked at me after I got dressed anddropped her jaw and literally said, "WOWWWWWW MOMMY YOU LOOK SO PRETTY!" ... okay that's when I KNEW I looked good! lmao. So after that the nails done (and I never do my nails!), hair done (so easy now that I've been rocking it almost Amber Rose-short since 4th of July), EVERYTHING did! Hot like the song Fancy from Drake!

I missed most if not all of DragonCon because my daughter took a LONG nap in the day and by the time she woke up I thought it was going to be over, plus she wanted to go to the park so I said why not and we grabbed our ball and sneakers and took off in the car.  Played for and hour and a half and she would have played some more!  lol

I did go downtown and see the remnants of DragonCon, including a Jedi knight or some other Star Wars type robot dancing to hip hop music!  But that was only because I was looking for this supposed spot Olympia Prime that was suppose to have Black Talon deejaying that night!  Turns out the place been closed for over a YEAR!  Moral of the story: call the number given in those Creative Loafing ads and make sure it's a working number before you waste gas going, because apparently they run some ads in perpetuity until someone makes them aware of the error. lol

ON to the rest of my NIGHT!  Basically summed up as a one-night birthday party with DJ Stephen's mummy and other Trinis (who never know how to END a party, lol!) which turned into a 3-day party and lime!  I had the BEST bake of my life, biggest too!  Even one Trini guy said the bakes were dancing in his mouth (and that is another story, cause the soca and reggae was playing on FULL BLAST and the cook was wining up a STORM in the kitchen, as I told her she cooked all that food without firing up the stove cause all the heat was coming from her!)

lmao Definitely up there with my 4th of July as another great social WIN for Atlanta!  I completely deviated from the schedule I posted up earlier but that's okay, because it's better to party with people who matter (and with all our kids around too, playing with each other!) than with a bunch of strangers who may not even speak to you whole night!

Big ups to DJ Stephen, King Apache, and B!!!!!! lol

A Jamaican guy who had never partied with Trinidadians before after his first time at the first party could only say "Trini party sell OFFFFF!" lol
Good food, good music, good vibes, and old/new friends!  Good times!  My friend's summary of his weekend (in a whole different state) exactly explains it for me:

Its been one hell of a weekend!!! Good times everyone good times!
