Good things do happen and sometimes they happen in 3's

Good things

-yesterday was the first airing of a tv show i am the co-host of
-IT was GREAT! tony the tiger GRRREAT!
-I had so much fun.
-why am i writing with bullets?

so as not to seem as if nothing good ever happens to me.. Here is the goodness.

My friend Naz invited me to be the co-host on a local TV show he's starting called the Mind Set. It was his idea to bring the local poets,mc's and vocalist to the forefront. Not completely original and kinda Def jamish.. BUT! Who else was doing it at the time? No one.. I decided not to go in there nervous.. I went. I had a great time. Felt a new kinda high.. A new kinda happy. It was great. WE had 6 artist total. 5 poets and 1 vocalist. We had callers. People were watching!!!!! and mad positive feedback. The camera guy loved it. Told us to go ahead and start making business cards. I didn't know it was serious like that. But.. People are watching. People are loving it. And they say.. Naz and Jam make a good team. ;)

I'm happy. Good stuff is happening. People kept telling me I was pretty on camera.. I thought they were just being nice. Then a friend of mine said it.. And i realized I wasnt taking this pretty thing like i have in the past. I usually seek it. This time. It was like. I know.. and it was nice you acknowledged it. thank you. I didn't need to hear it for my ego or my low self esteem. It was very affirming. and i finally could accept it. So then i noticed alot of people kept telling me WE looked good on camera.. And i was like wow.. I didnt know. I still don't know. I haven't seen the tape. It is a live show. But Naz taped it too. So we shall see. I want to see how my glow transports to television.

But i'm really excited. About the show. I didn't know what kind of response we would get but it seems people are really feeling it. The phone lines were off the hook. The poets were off the hook and the vocalist Beloved..Well she's always off the hook. I had to tell her.. Her music is healing. When she sings.. And she sang acapella. I feel so good inside.. Not much music can do that for me. And trust. I have a LARGE collection of cd's. I buy cd's instead of clothes sometimes. In the height of my anger a few months ago I was buying 1 to 2 cd's minimum a week. more if i went to plan 9. Cuz plan 9 resells cds...needless to say.. i often buy music searching to fill a void.. and her music is what i've been searching for. amazing.

I wonder what next Thursday will bring??

Hey Tell me what is up with Halloween?? It used to be fun when i was younger. Today its just another friday but people decided not to wear their regular casual friday gear.. that got lax and wore costumes instead. The kids down here trick o' treat in the mall. It's 11:24pm and we have a big ass bowl full of candy.. Like no kids came by.. And let me tell you.. the funniest costume was this big kid like 15 in a suit with his momma's wig on.. I was like who are you, Al Sharpton? I was serious.. his friend said that he was Ike. Oh that's better.. IKE Turner? I dont know what's better. Al Sharpton or Ike turner.. but im rooting for Al Sharpton.. IF that was who this kid was.. He should have won the prize.. it was an excellent likeness. :)

Trick or Treat!
