Nothing Simpler than that headline... Happy New Year to all...I hope the new Year brings love and happiness to everyone...I'm getting so sentimental this holiday season it's crazy...I just want the best for everyone and everything...

Enjoy the final Title pic for 2007...

Christmas = Happiness!

I love Chritmas time...The air is somehow different and the days just seem more joyous...I don't know this is really one of the only times I can really say I'm happy...Happy to be alive, happy to be loved and happy to be loving. Good times, good times. Last year (can't believe I've been at this blogging thing so long) I posted things that i wanted for my presents in my Happy Birthday Jesus post but for this season i feel the spirit of partying and partying hard...I know it may not be very fitting for the season in some person's eyes but hey I'm young... (thats my excuse for everything).

Seriously though I don't just love it for the seasonal parties that litter the scial scene but because of the warm and fuzzy feeling. The coming together of family....I love my Mom and Christmas day is the day we come together and cook up a storm and a half feeding basically half of my neighbourhood. It makes me feel good to do that. It's an awesome experience... and thats why I love Christmas.

My workplace had their office party on Saturday... It was to be a blowout affair...Well it was over the top and the venue was nicely decorated under the Hawaiian theme...Though I do understand the route the party was going the atmosphere was working against it. The muddy grounds (ruined stillettos), the food was ok (not great, but free so thats at least a 5/10) I found that I had to be struggling to make my own fun. Akimat and I went and she's not the best person to impress so you can imagine what she was feeling...at least we were both bordering on the edge of drunk and fall over drunk so everything was bathed in a very colorful glow and we were laughing like fools. GOOD TIMES, GOOD TIMES!!!

Best Dressed of Male of the night for me was Nerrej, the shirt was a nice colour (orange, maybe peach/appricot and white) and a nice cut that fit very nicely with some design that I in my druken state could not recognize but seemed to fit the Hawaian theme, Best dressed Female of the night was a girl I saw accross the way she wore a blue and green sarong type dress in halter style, the colours were complimentary, the cut and style were very good for her ample size and her make up and hair were nicely done...she fit the theme perfectly for me and thus she wins my Best Dressed nod.

What I will boo (I have a post in mind with this title but I'll give a little preview) : -Asymmetrical hairstyles - it doesnot look good on everybody and if you notice everybody is wearing the same hairstyle as you...BOO! Also I'm going to boo glitter belts with your name on it and silk print dresses aren't my favorite thing in the world either. Everyboy and their mother's grand aunt has one...BOO!

I was trying to think of a way to end the post today... and I realized I haven't done Weh Yu Mean! in ages.

WEH YU MEAN?!

• Amelia "stop calling yourself MILK" Sewel...Yu alright?? Because I can't understand what di girl do yu so mek u sit her down and tell her when and where and how many times you and the Drippy one were having sex. WEH YU MEAN?! I am confused Amelia...Yu nuh have a kid...?You don't look that bad one sixth of the time you can find another man...Tek care of your kid Amelia and leave Smiley alone.


• Grammy Nominees for 2007 in the category of Best Reggae Album: Burning Spear, Stephen Marley, Sly and Robbie, Lee "Scratch" Perry as well as Toots & The Maytals. What about the dancehall artist dem whom have had good albums this year...Assassin for one I think had a good album but the main point is that every year when it comes to this category what you have is a bunch of old men and maybe one dncehall act thrown in...No disrespect but WHE YU MEAN?! Where's the Dancehall and let's not start the debate about which is better because seriously thats dated....as dated as the four fifths of the nominees above...
  
• Why exactly are jamaican artistes spending their hard earned (HAHAHAHA!) money on DNA tests? WEH YU MEAN?! Adijah you know you were the father...This novelty better wear off soon because I'm tired of hearing about it...Might as well go on Maury and get it done for free...


• Beenie...Moses...Mr. Davis...Every year when it comes to Christmas time you say NO STING for me...WEH YU MEAN?! Every year we see you on the bill and we see you perform on the show and now we have to wonder Beenie...is anything you say the truth? I don't think so...I love you Moses but you need to stop with the lies and deceit...


• Munga...Deva WEH YU MEAN?! What exactly are you portraying to the youths that follow you religiously?? Lyrical war is what keeps the music fresh, keeps us interested because we want to know what can possibly come next...but physically hurting each other really just perpetuates a feeling of unrest and disqueit among the youths who look up to you...me cant endorse that...


• JILL is COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEH YU MEAN?!! January 25th will see me at the Air Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival to see the soul deep, mesmerizing Jill Scott perform... I'm literally screaming as I write this...YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's close to my b-day too so if I don't get myself anything else for the rest of the year I'd be happy because I saw Jill Scott LIVE!!!!!!!!

My fantastic and fabolous friend Icart is getting married on the weekend...I'm so happy for her... Married can you believe it?? It seems like yesterday we were still in high school...Well she had a surprise bridal shower on the weekend that STFO!!!! Awesome!!! Getting drunk and revealing secrets is a good way to spend your Saturday evenings...

I felt the need to leave you with a little something...so I've decided to change !!HOT GUY THROUGH THE CENTURY!! to !!HOT GUY OF THIS DAY!!...If you're smart you'll do a little research and get it...If not just enjoy the hotness... Today's hotness is due to the fact taht i am going through my asian phase...!!HOT GUY OF THIS DAY!! March 22, 1971...Will Yun Lee...YES! YES!

YES!!!!

Today's Title pic is cute...AWWWWW....

Changeling

I'm making some changes...I can't want everything in my life to change while I'm still the same person.

1. A. I am going to Japan in the summer of 2009. I am going to teach Japanese children english for a year or more. It's my dream to travel the worl and I'm not passing this opportunity up...


2. I am going to lose 70lbs by Dec 2008 and 90lbs by Mar 2009...not because of some vain idea that I need to be thin but solely because I don't feel healthy I fell overweight and with my family history fear developing a chronic illness like hypertension which my beloved grandmere is fighting and diabetes like my mom and maternal grandmother.


3. I am going copper. I'm coloring my hair in a copper tone because I like it and I think it may suit me. I love my black hair but 21 years of it has become unbelievably dull...


4. I'm piercing something...Prolly my nose...I don't know why I just know Ive always wanted to and theres really no time like the present.


5. This one is tentative because I'm not 100% sure...I want to get a tattoo...This will happen but I don't know when this will happen I can't say it will happen in the next two years as my other transformations...but it will happen...The first will be a dragon my lifelong fascitination has led me here. They are mystical, mythical creatures who make believe in fairy tales and in that anything can happen...


6. No more pity fucking party and juvenile behavior from me... No piddling around. I'm doing away with those friends by default. No need to keep that shit going. Some people should not even be in my facebook life. I'm turning into an inconsiderate person...somehow I feel like its time. I just hope my real friends can forgive me because I'll always be forgiving them.

I'm feeling like I'm on top of the world and anyone whos in my way better watch out because I'm a changeling converting to my new form. Nothing to fear but something new to embrace and basically if you don't like it you can leave... Nobody keeping you anywhere in my vicinity certainly not me. I'm a new being a new person even without these things as yet I'm already new. I'm not becoming a different me, I'm becoming ME...finally. I've been waiting and I realized that if I stood still I'd be getting nowhere just watching shit pass me by. Not anymore.

Today's Title pic is awesome and hard to find...

World AIDS Day...

Today is a day I wish we didn't have to celebrate, but I have to stand strong with all the people living with AIDS, surviving, just living life as it should be lived. I wish this day would just go back to being December 1st, 24 days til Christmas countdown but it never will. It saddens me, makes me want to cry when I think about the millions who have died and are dying from this disease.

It saddens me even more when I think that next to Africa the Caribbean is second in the world for new cases I'm think...WTF?? Ladies and Gentlemen what is going through your minds? HIV/AIDS is a preventable disease...PREVENTABLE! What the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously what could possess you to not use a condom with your partner...WHAT? Please let me know and dont give me any shit about decreasing pleasure and whatnot...Fucking is fucking...to me personally using a condom makes me feel more secure and increases any pleasure I may be feeling... Intelligence people is not only for some, everyone can eat from that tree..Don't be left in the desert...

I want to be aware and I have no problem asking my partner to go do and HIV test with me. Contrary to popular beliefs you are not distrustful of your partner in fact doing an HIV test to me builds a stronger bond a newer dimension to you and your love...I had loved those "KNOWING IS BEAUTIFUL" ads they were so true. Its a beautiful thing. ANd if it can save my life and the lives of the people I love. There is nothing wrong with that.

Today's Title pic is a poingnant double feature -

The second is my fave because if you look closely there's a Caribbean flag in the center of it. AIDS is not a death sentence but PREVENTIOn is alaways, ALWAYS better than cure.
