POD: Tivoli Stories – where it all began.. Jamaicas’ First Civil War

Today We Start The Tivoli Stories – the reality of the Jamaican Civil War

First let us give you a little history lesson from Jamaica.  this is the story that breaks the seal on the book. you see Tivoli is the heart of Jamaica for many reasons.  most of them stem from the money links developed through the kingston stronghold and their community leaders – like the man Jim Brown.

This is Fela Kuti; sitting on a sofa  in a dressing room; with moi in 1996, Post Concert

we were just chillaxin and not even concerning ourselves with the fact that he was literally dying as we sat there. you see he had just been diagnosed with AIDS. he was on his final tour of his career and this was one of his final stops.

I made my way there to spend a little more time with my friend. I didn’t know that he was sick, as you can see I look happy, and he looks a little tired. he had just performed for one and a half hours to a packed club. the show was a sell-out and he was in great form.

someone said to me after he died that maybe he looked somewhat happy to see me, because he knew he’d never see me again. I laughed them off and said, well why did he come here to perform then, if not to see me. that was the end of the convo, because that was a fact.

This video is Femi Kuti; His Father was Fela Kuti shown above.

You See We Yorubas’ believe that you send the soul away dancing and remembering the good; because the bad no longer matters. it is important to remember that his spirit is still with us, because we believe that he will remain with us for at least twenty one days. during that time he will complete spiritual connections, and begin his work as an ancestor; helping those of us who remain in his love.

His Father Fela Died of AIDS in 1997 – this is his statement to the world
“It’s Serious“.   yes brothaman it is, quite serious. it cost us many many lives, and still we are not sure what it really is. how terrible is that ?

This is Fela Kuti’s Funeral – it was massive; largest in Nigerian history

There is clearly a message here people. AIDS is not a Gay Disease, it’s a KILLER who cares not for your sex, or sexual preference. only the fact that you are not careful and didn’t think before you “Phucked Up”.

Live Goes On, so we should all remember that Protection and Awareness are the two largest keys to remaining HIV Free. there is never a time that you can take a chance, regardless of who it is or what is happening.

This is your life and you can end it that quickly,

Be Safe and Remember that We All Know Someone – so we don’t need to be the next one. Protect Yourself; and Your Lover.

Think Before You Screw Up Your Future, Really Doh -

I’m sure if you watched this you are joining me in the state of confusion. now what is this, is he Andy Sandberg the comedian and is the other character supposed to be Reba in Drag ? Reba Who ? Reba MacIntyre the country singer? okay I wanted to slap him when he reached in that dumpster and put that wig on.   I am so through..

it’s music monday so you know we’re gonna hit ya back in a day after we get our confuzzle un fuzled.

OOOOOOOOOOO,,,, Mr. Vegas..

Mr Vegas always brings the drama. she opens his internet connected page on myspace to see his fans.  I’m sure that has happened to lots of people. we try to keep it clean so none of that is a major problem.

Just watching the first half of the video, You would have never believed you’d be seeing Michael Jackson ina Mr. Vegas Video ?  WOW. that was some hot dancing. Lets All Do It Our Way.

The Sassa Step – by Mr. Vegas

it’s easy – step to the side twice, then turn and step to the other side twice. then shake it in the middle and do it your way. Easy as Easy Can Be. this is our Music and Movement Monday submission.

Okay now that we have that out of the way. (wink*wink) for music monday; lets take a look at a whole new kettle of fish.  pun totally intended,

Sexting and other such internet age no-no’s

Don’t act like you don’t know those symbols. I have it on good authority that many of you reading this, have; and will be using these very same emoticons later this afternoon; and probably later tonite with other parties, if you get the chance. (smdh)

Just in case we have a few rank amateurs out there, here’s a lil help so that you can get your A-Game on

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sexting

v: the act of text messaging someone in the hopes of having a sexual encounter with them later; initially casual, transitioning into highly suggestive and even sexually explicit

In a sentence: “He keeps sexting me saying how hard he is and how much he wants to tap my ass,” Cindy said massaging her breasts unconsciously.

This is not a new phenomenon and apparently it works the same in all languages that utilize emoticons.  people feel they should be able to display their innermost freak to the person at the other end of their text; regardless of if they know them intimately or not.

WRONG

What if that person is a kid, or two kids, or a predator ? hmmm now the picture is changing. ahhhhhh,,,

Sexting: Grandma, grandpa say it isn’t so!

According to an AARP News article the senior set has embraced sexting. And, the don’t face the same legal issues as young people face.

Here’s how the AARP News report launches into the topic, “When Roger gets to an intimate stage with a woman these days, it usually doesn’t take long until the sexy photos start. His dating partners either request that he send them a suggestive-or downright explicit-photo from his cell phone to theirs, or they just send one themselves, completely unsolicited.”

I guess it makes sense, but the article points out that Roger, 59, has been “enjoying” this form of high-tech flirtation for years now with a bevy of sassy ladies.

“Shocked? Don’t be. More and more of the 50+ set, both single and married, are using text messaging to spice up their sex lives. Boomers, often sandwiched between teenagers, aging parents, and busy work schedules, are taking advantage of the new technology because it’s fast, easy, and fun.”

Relationship coach Suzanne Blake told AARP News she has seen and heard it all when it comes to sexting, including a wife who enjoys sexting her husband while he’s traveling on business, telling (and showing) him what he’s missing at home. While this may surprise some, Blake’s not surprised at all.

So far, I haven’t noticed many seniors being outed for their kinky pixs, but there’s sort of a unwritten law about nude photos. It goes this something like this, “If you allow a nude picture to be taken of you it will sooner or later end up in the public eye” – it a real case of information wanting to be free.

yes this is your weekly PSA - Remember Don’t Text Drunk, or While Driving;  or Feeling Sexy. It could come back to bite ya in the, wellll you know,, FUTURE.
