Weddings Look Good On You…(Part 2)

Weddings Look Good On You…(Part 2)

Another thing is I am not intimidated by other peoples lives.  It does not bother me in the slightest that the average people grow old and get married and have children.  HEY! Everybody!  I am not from average people…please note I do not remember EVER meeting my biological father and my mother is currently not married and THAT ladies and gentlemen is what is normal to me!

Based off those two previous statements one would think that I should break the circle and create a new path for my last name….welp no thanks.  I rather do that with my individual accomplishments.  Baby mommas are nothing frowned upon in Caribbean culture and for that matter across, what I would argue, a significant part of the world.

It is safe to say that my perspective on life is just not fit for the “average North American person” and trust me I am by no mean an “above average human”.

This was bothering me and felt really good to write/vent on OH YEEEEAAAAHHHH RIP RANDY SAVAGE!

oh funny tidbit….folks at the wedding asked how come I wasn’t drinking -___- really?!?! 2013 and people are still amazed by others not drinking…Well ladies and gents my new style is to say I am a muslim.  WIth the beard and all that they understood and left me alone.  When I usually answer people with “oh i just don’t like too”, its not good enough and they have to do a full criminal mind behaviour investigate.  It was cool the first few time but jeeeeeezzze after getting the treatment at WORK, SCHOOL, AND OTHER PLACES…PLEASE GIVE IT REST YA’LL CAN I LIVE?

Birthdays Do Not Mean Much to Me?

Birthdays Do Not Mean Much to Me?

Is that weird?

A person close to me recently celebrated their birthday and one thing I remembered about myself is how little my own bornday means to me.

I don’t know if it is my distaste for “First World Traditions” or maybe just the fact I only remember having one birthday party as a child.

I definitely think it is the latter.  I mean how can one expect to care about something especially “birthdays” without developing some form of emotion attachment to it?

I would think the majority of adults that whole heartedly love celebrating birthdays is directly linked to their child hood and experience with birthdays.  As a child they learned to love birthdays due to the presents or special family events, that occurred on their birthdays .  I think most of us agree that children depending on their age mostly likely love birthdays because it is their chance to get presents or experience someone else birthday and witness them getting presents/participating in a birthday party celebration.  What kid wouldn’t like presents, for simply being born?

As an adult this attachment to birthdays later matures into some form of emotional attachment rather than all about gifts, it morphs into some sort of philsophical ideal.  This ideal is shaped depending on the person’s character or perspective on life.

Take me for example:

I think that because I never really had an attachment as a child, to birthdays.  There was no feeling to mature as I grew.  I remember as a child getting pretty used to not having a party or anything special happen and on the opposite spectrum I witnessed my classmates and friends all having these amazing parties.  I think over time I just turned off the anticipated excitement, of my own birthday, as a way to deal with being disappointed.

When I became an adult, who never celebrates my own and I have not figured out if this is an overall positive or negative.  Well I know a lot of people I have meet think its negative and sad.  You’d be surprise how many lectures I have received on being heartless, because I am not particularly fond of celebrating events.

I always thought Mr Scrooge McDuck was misunderstood!

Music, Rap, Hopes and Stress

Music, Rap, Hopes and Stress

2013 and the amount of rappers, aspiring rappers etc is frightening.  I try not to throw stones, but as a music lover I cannot help being a critic.  Like any genre over saturation is not helpful.  The internet has opened the flood gates for a tsunami of artists.  Now the only difference to any other genre is hip hop, which is more aggressive by nature, you get artists that are just seeking local fame rather than express their artistry. Then again I guess this could be applied across all genres. Artists like DMX, 50 Cent, Rick Ross etc..are ones that represent the epitome of the streets.  This is essentially what hip hop steamed from, it was meant to shed light on an environment most Americans could care less about, at that time.

But today, like anything used to generate millions of dollars, it has lost so much of its innocence.  That doesn’t mean there are no great artists in hip hop, but the amount of bullshit you have to shift through to find something of substance is disturbing.

I always wondered if lovers of other genres felt the same way?  Though I enjoy other genres of music I really know more about Hip Hop than any other.

If you like other genres let me know, do you feel the same way I do?
