My Jamaican Caribbean Heritage and Music

I love my cultural background and shall never say otherwise, for Jamaicans are proud people with lots of love/passion in our soul.  There are some  people  that refuses their upbringings in all cultures around the world, but the ones that represent and actually show others the different aspect aside from any stereotypes out there are the ones you can count on to teach you something new, to make you want to try something new from that culture, or be interested enough to learn more, or get you so hype to actually visit that country or place just to see if what was said is true.  I am proud of mines.

It is always one of my goals to learn more about the world and other cultures.  So when I do meet new people and friends I always ask their backgrounds and what they love about their culture or couple fun facts about their upbringings.  I came upon writing this post after spending the last couple weeks listening to some old school Jamaican music and dancing everywhere and sing the tunes back as loud as possible in the streets as I walk with headphones blasting music.  Note worthy I have been listen to one of my favorite Jamaican artist, Sean Paul.  He is such a great artist and I was so excited for him when he crossed over in the United States with his music, with great classics like “Gimme The Light“, “Like Glue” and “Get Busy“.  I have been really bumping his album Trinity he released a few years back, with the awesome up-tempo songs such as “We Be Burnin’” and “Temperature” in which really inspired me to write this post.

Do you know of Sean Paul?  Have you ever seen a Sean Paul music video or listen to a Sean Paul song?

Anyways, I really want to make this post special, so if you are a subscriber or new visitor, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT on this post with:

My Thoughts Escape Me

I got so much on my mind to keep track of, so I fight to store my thoughts before they get overwritten by new thoughts.  I must admit this has been the most creative and hardest year I have ever had.  Challenges keep popping up and I keep standing up to them.  With all things I do comes many designs and strategy I have to remember.  As a writer, I am deep into being become a published one.  As a reader, I am flipping through pages, reading the words, memorizing the message, and executing the knowledge.

When I was in college I mean I was really quick with knowledge, but in a different caliber.  Now I have grown, my decisions precise, my risks calculated, and my thoughts fresh.  I love my blog so much for helping my grow.  I would have never thought I would be such a writer and to be able to be so diverse.

I believe in myself and I worked so hard to be creative and versatile in all that I do, and I so thankful.  I try to keep myself settled and humbled with a smile.  It’s hard to be me right now, but I hang on and keep the faith, and most of all hold onto to my thoughts.

What has been on your mind lately?  Are you thoughts slowing down or speeding up?

Thanks for reading

Writing Sabbatical

So here I am fresh of my writing sabbatical, I am looking around and my blog looks empty.  No shocker there, but then I saw a reflection in my computer screen and it was me, and I was pissed.  How the heck haven’t I written anything on my blog in almost a good week and a half?  That madness.  Then I took a look on my bed and seen couple of dents based on all the freedom I had jumping in it and sleeping and etc. then I changed my expression into a smile.

Sometimes you just need a time off from writing.  I was working on too many fronts managing an epic amount of work load, music album, independently publishing a book, and trying to writing scripts for my youtube channel and working on a short film.  I felt like I was exceeding words, so I shutdown.  I had been blogging for over 4 years consistently and since last year, I had enrolled in blogging everyday.  Yup I said it, 365, ouch.

Shutting down is sometimes good, and it refuel you.  You get to let out fresh thoughts and new perspectives and other elements of life that happen during your absent.  I am more than ready to fill in the blank, but guess what I am back.  I am ready to entertain and kick some blogging butt.

Have you ever taken a writing sabbatical?  Have you ever had writers block?

Thanks for reading

PS: I have also been reading.  I think I am addicted right now.  I think amazon is going to send me a nice bill with the books I am about to buy and have bought.  Also poor ol Barnes and Noble shall be seeing my face very often.
