What It Was, What It Is, What It Will Be....



How do you describe the year that was? 2012, presented a number of challenges, self doubt, low points and questions. Many of which weren't known to the majority of people. This was that year where I'd either break under the weight of circumstances or snap back and turn a suspect hand into a winning combination. I looked at the options before me and internally came to peace with what I want to do and what direction I plan to proceed in. I've always been about business but now though the course of 2012 I'm truly becoming business.



On a more personal side I've experienced various changes in relationships. People came, some went, some dealings improved, others soured. The ability to let go and not put so much of others stress on myself was something I've finally gotten a handle on. I love my people but sometimes their issues are solely theirs to deal with.


Keeping on the topic of relationships we have the Tribe, as I guy who had no real interest in adding too many new people to my life, the Nomadness Tribe stepped in and said "Sorry, I have different plans for you." From the jump the Tribe has presented a wave of amazing people into my life. New York is cracking with Tribe members out and about on any given night, The DMV, NJ/Philly, Texas and more have me excited to see more of the nation. Just across the border in Canada, Toronto has quickly made a place in my heart was a number of incredible Tribe and Non Tribe members. I'll definitely be up there again soon. Truthfully I could go on well into the midnight hour with my appreciation of the Tribe and doors it's opened. Travel was never that big a thing to me and now it's woven it's way into all that I have planned. Stamps and Miles in 2013.



I have family, friends and a focus that is sharper then ever. Omega Nexus, Nomadness, LonelyNites Unlimited....2013 will be about the show and prove, showing the world and proving much to myself.

Bajan Beaches, Nerd Moments and Dream Revitalization!


I'm officially back from an extended weekend in Barbados with the Omega Nexus Team. We kicked off our "Home Town" presentation in Ascended: The Omega Nexus at AnimeKon 2012 and it was a success on so many levels. We sold out of all of our books as the demand of the crowd would not let up.



The people loved the idea,concept and wanted more. When you're told every reason why folk wouldn't be into a book, what we saw this weekend was very inspiring. Not just in regards to our project but the level of talent and creativity caught me off guard for this genre. Ideas are already swirling around our heads for next years convention. The goal is make sure EVERYONE in attendance knows who we are.....



Being that it was my first time in Barbados I did a bit of sight seeing to take in the beautiful beaches. The crystal clear water was amazing and needs to be a larger part of my regular life routine. It was nice to see the Reece brothers back in their natural environment. The swell up of positive energy really did the job to recharge the guys for the mission ahead. The Omega Nexus has been a part of my life nearly 20 yrs and to see it grow, evolve and reach others with such positive reviews is that proof that you need to know the path you are on is the right one.

Have Some Pride in your Brand

A lot of people operate by the "All publicity is good publicity" belief. I personally feel that I and any one I affiliate with should work by a different code. "I don't do press. I get press" What's the difference? It's actually very simple.

Those that "Do press" do any and everything to get attention. They have no bounds as to what they will do to get eyes on them. There's no attention are concern to what type of attention they acquire as long as they get it. On the flip side, I believe that it is a far better reflection on you and what you do to "Get Press". This is when the caliber of your brand and the quality of your work brings attention onto itself without you have to step so far out of bounds at gain it.

A big topic of discussion among my various partners has been the evaluation of base numbers vs actual activity. The seeking press method falls within that topic too. In a world now measured in hits, likes, followers & "friends", you have to be able to read your numbers for what they mean vs what they say. 10,000 followers behind gimmicks and antics are a lot of eyes....but do they translate into the intended business you desire?

Just my thoughts....

2012 JAM 4 JAMAICA


I'm NY born but as most people know my parents and family are from Antigua. As with most folks with island roots we give back. It's what we do to keep that link to those who are still back home: you send money; you load up the super sized barrel with care products and items for the family a few times a year. I know you all know the drill.

 This month I've linked up with my Toronto based Blogtalk partner Telisha to aid with Jam 4 Jamaica.

This party for a purpose takes place Saturday April 21st at The Sheraton Centre Hotel, City Hall Ballroom in downtown Toronto. The J4J Team is looking to raise funds to provide education scholarship to 10 children from the Riverton community in Kingston. These students were identified by  Student Crossing Borders Organization as children in need on a waiting list to receive scholarship to farther their education.

Jam 4 Jamaica is here to do its part. This is the 2nd Annual Fundraiser of what looks to be a long running successful cause.

For those who will be in the T-Dot area and are looking to attend the event get more info here
and make your ticket purchase here.

For those of you that cant make it but are looking to aid via donation I will updating very soon with the paypal donation info.

When Dreams Become Plans Then a Reality


It's been defined in the creative line of my mind years ago....expressed via the digital communications of these Internets...lived out in the actions and support giving to many for the past decade. Now I take something that has been an essential part of me and made it tangible and legitimate. It's deeper that business, taxes applications and write offs. Its the evolution of me.

If You Didn't Know.......


I'm a soldier, these shoulder's hold up so much, they won't budge,
i'll never fall or fold up,
i'm a soldier,
even if my collar bone's crush or crumble,
I will never slip or stumble,
i'm a soldier,
these shoulder's hold up so much, they won't budge,
i'll never fall or fold up,
i'm a soldier,
even if my collar bone's crush or crumble,
I will never stumble...
-Eminem "I'ma Solider"

Someone's Always Watching, But That's Not Always a Bad Thing

 
The world is shrinking and in turn the eyes is able to take in more and more of what is happening around it. All of our moves are seen. Some folk have a larger viewership then others but we ALL are seen. The energies you put out, the vibes you release, the path you walk may be to you a seem private but the world is aware of it. Now once the eyes capture your deeds, how it passes that off into the mind differs from person to person and it's a crap shoot if those thoughts flow into any kind of communicative form. I tell Evita all the time, that she "always has eyes watching her", which I think she has known and recently embraced more then ever. As it relates to me, I get examples, flashes of unexpected gratitude and appreciation that always come at the right time and hit the spot.

While my interpretations of Nightfall come from the outside looking in, I’m well aware that the praise, respect and love one receives from those around him speaks very highly of a man’s character.  As someone who is obviously cherished greatly by those he loves, Nightfall has earned his kudos.  - Jade

What makes this a lil different is that it's an indirect observation turned respective statement. When the people I deal with say "thank you" it's all love. It's never expected but it's understandable. But when such an exclamation comes from the friend of a friend it's a totally different type of surprise. More eyes are watching then I was aware of. And while I dip between the light and the comfort of the shadows, it's comforting to know that what is being seen by the people is a positive image.

I say all that to say this.....Click here for a touching piece brought to you by Jade Via Kream

And again I say thank you....

Rambling......About US



You ever just sit alone in the dark and let your mind zone,
And take a hard look at the world and all that you find wrong,
I escape my physical to think its almost a ritual kinda thing,
This world that we inhabit habitually makes me sick,
Loving my people to no end, family, close friends,
Even those that don’t know sending positive vibes by the boatloads,
But for some there’s no hope though with burdens that won’t go,
And they project that to the masses through bitterness and sarcasm,
Till I wish they would flee lose all that damn internet access,
See for me I need limits on your freedom of speech,
All the whining bout heaux shit's misdirected to me,
See for every complaint there is an ounce of admission,
A confession of your life and the elements missing,
Security lacking yes the support that you don’t have,
Insult the next girl because of issues with your man,
Elementary Watson really just a simple equation,
To extract the truth from what these women be saying,
Quote a lil Beyonce for independence and sass, 
Make sure we stay updated every time you get some ass,
Cat fight with other woman, be childish be mean,
Then demand of us men to address you as Queen,
Had to laff at that exhale, lean back
A lot of y’all are quite a sight and a sorry one at that…..

As I sit remaining focused I will not exclude my brothers,
Witness to y’all antics it really is no wonder,
Not a mystery at all why our female are turning Dyke,
Not the sisters alone but brown, yellow and white,
I lost my V-Hood to an Asian, who later said she was BI,
It was easier to her then trying to deal with most guys,
Lesson early learned the when a woman has been wronged,
The road back to normalcy can be twisted and long,
 Good girls disenchanted, no courting no romancing,
A victim of ill odds and society’s social “advancements”
It has lames feeling privileged thinking their so deserving,
Of honor and accolades what the hell is y’all sniffing,
For every true lady that she says “no” 10 “blah” chicks go down willingly,
So I guess that has you feeling that’s the way that it’ll always be,
Many get high off the fame once they’ve made it in the game,
Really got no Juice beside the initials in the name,
Forgot who rode with you and so supportive never neglectful,
Was on the brink of getting cut fix ya face get disrespectful?
Really couldn’t believe the statement I was reading,
Could imagine my home girls tears rolling and heavy breathing,
 Juvenile and unacceptable the thoughts on my side turn malicious,
“Jay he spoke to me so filthy like I was just one of his bitches,
I can’t take my people hurting, low & despondent,
To deliver equal suffering is all I now wanted,
So pissed off I wanna go eye for an eye
She’s still hurt still numb being objectified,
But it’s a man’s way and it’s a man’s world,
Man defined by conquests and stacking women up,
Messing with their hearts maybe even shacking up,
Avoid the pitfalls Mags never running out,
Morning after pills or maybe finish in her mouth,
We do what we want never with a 2nd thought,
Replace her fast with a female with a much meaner walk,
Their interchangeable accessories re-arrangable,
Most without a clue of the great pain we have done to you,
Men see simple logic play hard to build numbers,
Y’all shed tears face fears become mothers,
A canyon in between us so few properly bridge,
So in truth I’m not surprised at the sloppy way we live,
I’m not exempt as I fight to keep the urges down,
Pour out another drink swirl the rum ‘round,
I keep in isolation for fear of what I might do,
Avoid places cuz I know who I’ll bump into,
A lil head would help it’s only one night,
An old flame twitters me and says I’m looking right,
Compliments appreciated but I know whats the end goal,
An old time romp capped off in her end hole,
Yes so filthy that’s why I keep it calm and easy,
I’m the largest person in the room but no body sees me,
That’s how I like it move smooth and silent,
It’s not doing down until the time I decide it,
See thats my big fear to end up another hypocrite,
Unwed, bastard seed just another nigga statistic,
So beauty comes at me I find myself running from her,
It’s safer to just peep the porn on tumblr,
I wanna make a movie but scared to cast it,
Would run thru a couple Gigs if I’d only ask it,
But I mask it Never let the masses in,
Letting too many behind the glass is how it all begins,
How I fall to Sin, Give in to temptations,
Knowing the holy teachings that I’m repeatedly breaking,
Life’s a constant lesson I hope to pass the final test,
But at least I know I gave my all went all out to do my best………
