You know sometimes you run into those special people that make the world all ok. They give you peace when all you feel is angst. They lift you up when you are feeling down. They are sunshine when you only see the rain. There aren't many people like this in the world. I am truly lucky - blessed - smiled on by the god and gods that be...I DO have some TRUE and REAL friends out there.  I think some people never have true friends. They surround themselves with "puppets" and "eyecandy"...so sad.

Who are your true and real friends? Are they people that kiss your ass or people that do things for you all the time for something in return? *hint* those are TRUE FRIENDS. The second you give them what they want...they are gone...or they continue to use you for whatever benefit you might give them. *second hint* move the fuck on. Ur wasting your time. You can't get positive and happy and fufilled by selfish-fake-selfish-greedy "friends"! Surround yourself with dogs and you WILL get fleas (metaphorically speaking that is) <---right benjamin franklin? :) You become as fake and unreal as the people you keep around you...is it worth it?!! REALLY?!!

It is sometimes hard when you believe a person to be true and real and they aren't what you thought them to be...but I figure it like this. GOOD. Hella-DAMN-Right!! So glad I found out now before I wasted another single ounce of myself on UR sorry Ass! Now I can go and find somebody real whose soul is deeper than the onces of skin that lay over your curdled bones!

I am an incredible human being...real passion and feelings, drives, desires and dreams.If a "friend" uses me or treats me like a disposable human and hasn't taken half a second to notice I AM ACTUALLY another person a HUMAN BEING? Well...Karma is a bitch (to those that are a bitch to her). I have wasted this amount of time to say what needs to be said. To those DJ "friends" who have used me, to the promoters and the event teams, to the nights of no pay and the empty promises made by these friends, to the hollow praises and adultrated concern...to the local dj thugs who just want personal gain (even at the expense of my LITTLE CHILDREN??!!), and the asses in the world that just can't figure out how to be self-less? Well....I pity you. You are truly shallow creatures, barely human in my eyes. I don't understand you. I never will and I am happy I never will. My mamma taught me what was real in life -- family, love, true friends, selflessness, tenderness, laughing, music, dancing, art, food, the wind...a baby's sweet breath on your face and their little hand on your cheek...those things matter Toots!!
(much more than your dick could ever give me! and more than your little bundle of cds and wax! -- eat them apples!) I can't be bothered. Go away. There are a million of you...please stop breeding!!

Yeah? You wanna mess with me you fake ass sub-human...I don't have the time. Thank you for not wasting mine further. I am moving on....I have too many real friends in this world. I'm not sweatin any piece of skin.

And for my friends...my really really true friends? You know I love you all to pieces. Your words of encouragement and positive vibes, your thoughtfulness and giving ways -- simply incredibly inspirational! My friends KNOW I am there for them ...always....anytime...I'm as real as they come. U won't see me be anything other than exactly who I am...I promise from the deepest part of everything that I am...you will never see me pretend to you. I wear my heart on my sleeve -- good bad ugly beautiful -- I'm a REAL HUMAN, thank you.

wouldn't we all like to know! i'm the bionic woman! didn't you hear? take away my legs? i will just run further and faster the next time. take away my sight, i've learned to see more clearly. you take away my hold and my arms now open wide. you ate my aching heart and now it beats quick and steady. i am the invincible bionic woman! passion stronger feeling more intense braver - a brick wall will not move me. you took the tears. i replace them with beats, laughter. baby kisses, sunshine and love you never understood. yes i am bionic. stronger. faster. better. thank you i'll never be weak again. i shall never be crushed.

(enjoy!)

So you know how sometimes you place faith and trust in a person...maybe even your whole life, and they yank the rug out from under you? What if you try to make things work, what if you feel the other person hasn't even tried or given a second look -- what if you love the person with all your guts and they just keep kicking you in the emotional teeth? Does it even matter? I mean...in the end, it was love you feel and felt. You wanted things to change, you talked (maybe pleaded) and wanted to try to mend the walls that were broken. So it is with my dead mom and my ...well...I don't really know what to call him at this point -- it all just swampy and soggy inside.

Love is a funny thing you know -- so many different kinds of love. There is lust and lustful love -- maybe you want nothing more than to just be close to that person -- hmmm...there is grandma/grandpa kind of love where they are happy just sitting quiet side by side knowing what eachother is thinking. There is the love you might have found when you had your first child or when you heard dance music for the first time. There are friendships I have had where I truly love who that other person is...even though I know we could never be together for long periods of time ...you know, when you just appreciate the differences and the uniqueness of the being that they are.

I guess what I am talking about is the love someone might have for someone they know absolutely EVERYTHING about...maybe there are some dark secrets (I suppose we all do)...but other than that...everything. It is hard to let go. Death or unexpected divorce or seperation. That gut wrenching feeling of "oh my god....how can I live without knowing this person is there?" It is so mind-numbingly unreal....something undescrible in words. The trust and love built thru so many years, crushed in an instant. Lives changed forever. Sure, lessons are learned....but the hurt never goes away does it?  A giant wound over your entire soul. An empty spot that never goes away completely.

We cry and try to put on our "happy faces" -- but inside we know we are dead....at least for awhile. No one really recovers do they? They just move on...forever affected. If you knew you could change that feeling for another human being...would you? Would you sacrifice your selfish desires if it affected more than one...lets say...maybe five people...five of your closest family members. Would you change? Would you try to change? Would you go thru the motions if even for a year or six months to see if it could work?!

I guess sometimes selfish desires and ego-centric decisions take over. It is part of what makes us all human. Some have it more, some have it less. Some people never do feel empathy or learn to share or give truly of themselves. Like it or not, we have to live with other human beings with their own dreams and desires that might not include us, it doesn't mean we have to like it though....and it certainly doesn't mean we don't ache inside - we certainly can't change someone else or their true intentions.

To Mom: I miss you every single day. Sometimes more...sometimes a more quiet hurt. Sometimes you just sit quietly reading a book in your favorite spot drinking your tea. I wish I could call you. Things weren't always great or even close to perfect. Life was hard, love was hard for you too -- but you really FELT things like I do. Love bigger than life, Fun, always bigger than FUN....you gave me the love of music and friends and family. Things I could never repay. I just want to talk....just one last time.

To Andre' and Scott: You were such wonderful people. Each with a great laugh and a sparkle in your eyes - something I never thought I would see burn out in such a short time. Life gets hard sometimes, but leaving this world early hurts the people that love us...and there are ALWAYS people that love us -- yes, even you silly guys! I miss you both!

To Jason: I will miss you and I will move on. I won't be happy about it. I would have been happier actually TRYING to be a family...but you have decided your wants and selfish needs are more important than the four teary-eyed babies and the sobbing wife you left behind. I hope your dreams...whatever they are, come true...for this much pain and these many years surely weren't given in vain. If you want to be a super-star DJ -- by god do it so this family wasn't wasted!! Disposable family? I suppose we are....to you. But I tried and tried and forgave and forgave...and know you are human, as I am. I am nothing special, at least not to you. I guess that is what hurts the most. The trust you give in someone -- with your life and your guts and your years. Sad to see it all go in a blink...the disposable family. The wonderous inventions of today huh?  I'll miss you too, even though you have put me thru hell and back -- I will hold my head up high and march onward. Because even though you fail to see the worth in your family -- we are better than the purest gold....and the sweetest sugar....and I have given you EVERYTHING, I have no more to give now I guess. Only tears. Thank you for the gapping hole. You can go now.

So I just got back from my first trip to Toronto, Canada and DAMN I LOVE THAT CITY!! Now don't get me wrong...I LOVE Miami and New York is one of my favorites. Madrid was fantastic and I loved the art and people there. Libon (Lisboa) was GREAT - fantastic people, wine and food and clubs and Ibiza? Well...don't get me started!
HOWEVER....I do have to say that regardless of the cold during this winter season, the city was FANTASTIC! If you ever get the chance to visit DO! Oh, and don't get a rental! Stay downtown and walk like the natives!! The public transportation is GREAT there and I walked for days to a million different places and took cabs the the clubs - which is always the safest way to go anyways!

Ok...now as far as the parties? I went to a party hosted by PBR Recordings - Hotel Boutique Lounge in Toronto, Jaimie Fanatic, MC Flipside, Chris Vench,
Joey Seminara, and Danny Nagels all hit the decks and were fantastic --the club was great. Met a million people that night - all of them tops! PBR Recordings -- THANK YOU!! To all the guys that spun and Mr. MC Flipside's vocal work? CRAZY GREAT! Thank you!! To Jaimie Fanatic for making his first ever debut in North America? -- THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for coming over! (See, Imma HOOJ fan of Jaimie's and have been yelling about his work to whom ever will listen for years now -- if you haven't checked his tracks -- DO IT!!)

I also visited several other clubs while I was there - The Docks. The club is MASSIVE! Cool lighting a great bad played for a bit in one of the rooms and a big skate park inside another of the rooms...met some of the staff and some new friends -- great times!
On the third night I went to Muse - a smaller bar/resturant for a drink and headed to Circa with some friends I had met there. WOW...that place is incredible...the lighting and a million different rooms, great sounds and themed areas...floors upon floors - interactive walls and statues and live performing artists in glass "booths" -- every time I turned around there were security guys, but they were just invisible really....the crowd -- probably about 3000? Maybe more? I have no idea!! I heard several really great djs and had a few great drinks and got myself in bed at an earli-ish hour. Dead from the night before to tell you the truth!

I shopped during the day walking everywhere --- so many cool really really cool shops and fantasitic food. People were friendly and I felt completely safe walking around at all hours of the day and night.
Yes...I love Toronto and the people I met there and the clubs and shops....quite possibly one of my top three favorite cities EVER!
:) Thank you again - PBR Recordings, Jaimie and Flipside and all the girls and guys that made the party rock for me! xo -RaH

ps going to post some picts here in a bit...check my pix page!

Yes, every once in a great while I do some artwork and either 1. have an exhibit or 2. give it to a friend or 3. sell it to the people that have been asking for it the most!

Now is your time to get it for Christmas or for a Birthday or just to hang in your hallway - if you want something, but don't see it and have an idea in mind, give me a note and we can discuss. :) I am always doing art when I'm not doing music production -- so hit me up and lets chat!

XO -RaH
