My Life Today

Stumbled upon my blogger blog here and realized that I haven't entered in it in a while. then I just started to type this without thinking of what to write. How about an update? I mean, the last time I entered was May 15th it looks like. Since then, I had Hip Hop For Humanity (2nd annual) at the Fairview Pub on May 28th, 2011 the last Saturday of May. The line up was a good one. I didn't perform at this one. Panther n tha Supafly, Locution Revolution (from Edmonton), Whizdumb, Ndidi Cascade and Deanna Teeple, Furthermore and Immaculate, David Morin and Tonye Aganaba performed this year and they were all good. There were some communication issues with some artists that may have resulted in a loss of contact with one or two of the band members, however, so goes life.

June and July were filled with cafe jam nights and Soren's gig and fighting with the friend of Laine's that I hung with a couple of times.. goof. Also filled with a hustle for money while trying to not get evicted as Jane would harass me HUGE because I had a cat. The damn cat was there before her and Chris moved in the building and yet, as soon as they realized I wasn't JORDIE (the name on Laine's Lease) and also that they didn't even have Laine on record for living in the building (other than still altering and cashing her cheques every month), they put the pressure on. Notes in the laundry room, on our door, the cat the cat the cat. Poor Fritz. His health was not doing well, he was puking twice a day, it sucked.

Then the beginning of July we gave notice to move and relized that the cost to move was stupid. So, we decided if we would put forth such cost, let's move to a place where we can be happy. So it was a toss up between Winnipeg and Calgary and here I am now... in Calgary. I had no idea what to expect but I came with a plan to work and live for 8 months while Laine finishes school in Vancouver (one weekend a month till feb or mar) then move to Peg City...

I am not sure how that plan will pan out. I LOVE my home, my girl, my truck that I got from Vancouver named Pearl, my cat and my life so far in Calgary. I am cutting it short with the details but, it's been nice to have a fresh start. It's been nice to be able to not have excuses from past or from hate or from paranoia as to why things are NOT working out... all I have now are reasons why things ARE working out. I have contractors and clients who show no reason to be dishonest to me or think of me as dishonest (first contract may have been an exception thanks to Erica... ask me later) and I am slowly working my way into the music scene. Already did a gig at UBU Lounge on the 6th of October.

Will be heading to Jamaica in a couple of weeks... Yay!!! Yikes!!


More to come.....
