August 3rd into August 4th 2008 Sunday Nite/ Monday Morning
2:07 am
It’s the day after my birthday but I’ve decided to celebrate the WHOLE damn month of August so fuck it.
It’s so amazing. This life and how everything moves in it. I could truly say it’s just art in motion, full of emotions and a soundtrack that no one could make up. Multi-tasking to do my laundry at 2am and get to bed to wake up for the next phenomenal show is so exciting. But hmmm boy is that laundry calling…

And so an hour later as wet clean clothes sit in my basement waiting to get in the dryer I write. @(^_^)@
What an amazing day today was. So I woke up with a shower on my mind and the possibility of making an Apple, Pineapple, and Ginger smoothie. (Inspired from the Vegetarian Paradise Restaurant down in the village. Cuz why pay 5 bucks for a smoothie when u can make it urself?) I made it but what a task it was for me and my mother. I’ll just say that it was great experience to have with my mom early in the morning. @(^_^)@. So finally scooping up the lovely Ms.Kena Sage,
I was in route to get down to the SummerStage event I’d been wanting to go to for the last 3 weeks.
As soon as we got there I ran into one of my very BEST compradres Onician!!! So happy to see him, he took me right to the front where he was.
OMG!! What an amazing show. I’m sure it’ll be on Youtube somewhere today. The fire and spunk in today’s show was so fab. Who knew that a dude named Jose James was gonna be so dope and blow my mind as I entered the venue. Not to mention he wasn’t bad on the eyes either ladies. His songs reigned with this supreme soul and melodic flow that was a nice delight considering Kena and I had barely gotten comfortable yet. He eased us into the new sound of what R&B sounds and looks like (although I’m getting to a point of not wanting to call an artist ANY type of genre of music) we’ll just call what I walked into “Dope Ass Heavy Hitting Hotness!” Lol.
After he did a couple of songs and practically dedicated his entire set to love I retorted back at that statement with a loud “YEA RIGHT WHATEVER!” Not realizing I said it outloud as the crowd around me laughed I retracked a bit by saying, “Oh my! I thought I was thinking that. My Bad.”
His set was still in all and a whole… AMAZING. And that last song that he dedicated to love was hot too. U can check for him touring all over the world at http://www.myspace.com/josejamesquartet
Then our ultimate favorite…
Janelle Monae.
Heat! Heat! Heat! Hot fire! Now I’m not burning anything down but let me tell u this little chick was! There’s something about seeing this little person all of a sudden named Cindi Mayweather march all over the stage. Something about her spunk and energy that is an undeniable head turner. Not to mention she’s absolutely got the face of an angel.
She did her infamous stage dive against the hand tussling of Bad Boy’s very own Harve Pierre. (You can check for her crazy type stage dives on her blog at www.myspace.com/JanelleMonae)
She had the crowd carry her for one end of the stage to the middle of the audience and graciously they kept her afloat. It was beautifully done. Her inspiration was mesmerizing, what she gives her fans in performance is breathtaking. I enjoyed every minute of my birthday weekend with Janelle Monae.
Stay tuned for the rest of my day it'll be up in about day or so. U'll be surpised what I can do with chopsticks!!!!
Peace.
