:: mindset ::
[IF]
 
:: quotable ::
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build them up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!
--Rudyard Kipling

Wanna be down? Tired of begging your friends to forward the email to you?
Hearing about it the next day? Get on.

THE AMNESIA // IAN ANDRE ESPINET EMAIL LISTS

If you're getting this indirectly, go to www.amnesia.ca and put in your contact info so you can be down...
or
Check me on www.myspace.com/ianespinet

If you're new here, this is how it goes down...
The long - my long winded commentary on any and everything that I fell like speaking about in the email...   The short - just the essential party ish...

With no further adieu, let's go...

 

What's up,
 
Every year as my birthday approaches, I struggle to explain how I feel as I look back on the year.  I look back on the pictures that document my 365 - the friends, the joy, the pain, the good and bad.  Then I reflect on those who have not been as fortunate to make it, and I take time to greater appreciate the gifts of friendship, love, music, and most importantly life.
 
On January 6th, I invite you to celebrate my life with me...

It's the one time of year that I can see friends from all time periods in my life.  And because it's one degree of separation from me, everyone at the party shares the love of music that runs through my veins... Consequently, it's the one place where all the musical genres and spirits represented in me through all of my events and come together >> the fun, youth and nostalgia of amnesia, the hype of trilogy and x-factor, the mentality of big people fete, the feeling and vibe of soul kitchen, the hip hop swagger of the b-boy document and the dress element of t.i.m.e. and icon... and the re:connection factor too. 
For 2007, I decided to downscale a tad, in order to interact a tad more...  To start the year as I'd like it to continue - surrounded by friends.
 
This is a rare opportunity for me to see many of my friends, who like me are so busy - getting married (no... I'm not getting married right now - contract negotion), with relationships, divorces(lol), mortgages (seeking, paying etc), children, car payments, education, re-education etc...  Life, that thing we're so busy living, makes it so that we don't see each other as often as we'd like...
 
This morning, as I wrote this thank you email, that I write every year - as difficult as it is - I received a few reminders of how truly fragile life is...  and how easy it is to take it for granted.  This is my formal invitation to you, my friends, if I've touched you directly or indirectly, through my words, actions or events - or if I've been blessed by your thoughts, support, words or love.  There are names there that may surprise their owners - but life is short, and false pride kills more people than stray bullets - so if we're at odds, please consider this my olive branch.
 
Below, I've taken the time - and missed obvious and unobvious (I know it's not a word) alike - to document many of the people who have said kind words via email (even just once - it's appreciated), phone or in person, or done something in 2006 that I am grateful for... 
 
If I've missed you, believe that I am grateful for your contribution to who I am and becoming (and most importantly that it wasn't intentional)...
 
 
Gratefully, I remain...

RE:VISION
In September 1999, we revolutionized the way you viewed events with Amnesia. Since then, we have listened to you, our patrons and friends, and changed to suit your lifestyle. In the orchestration of our flagship event, Amnesia, we have stayed true to our goals. In the creation of other signature events such as Soul Kitchen, Big People Fete,
X-Factor, ICON, Socaholics, The ONE, Music Cafe etc, we have continued the mission.
 
With more than 2/3 of the urban nightlife scene attending Amnesia and/or one of the our signature events in the past 6 years, we continue to prove that success takes more than VISION. It takes RE:VISION. Stay tuned as we hone our online presence - www.amnesia.ca | www.ianandreespinet.com coming soon...
 

 
  
 
 
 

IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD
With your help I was able to raise enough to sponsor one child from World Vision for a year... There was some change left over that will be used towards the second sponsorship, my ultimate goal being to sponsor 4 (or as many as possible) for the year... 
 
My name is Rosette.
I am a four-year-old girl who lives in Uganda. Favourite play: dolls
Chores: carries water
Born: January 11, 2002
 
 
If you want to know more about Rosy as I've affectionately named her,  click here...

p.s. People liked these so much, I'm leaving them up another week...  (plus I haven't gotten all the guest writers spots in yet).  Look out for the year in review. 
 
The best of the p.s. 2006... ( I can't put p.s.' in front of them... it would take up the whole line).  I know it looks like I have too much time on my hands - but really - I was just going through emails reading, laughing and copying and pasting...  Look out next week for guest spots from Jemeni, Dr. Jay, Dwayne Morgan, Jester and a whole bunch of jacka#@es doing the year in review.

• What do you mean you've never heard the word skeef?  Original Scarborough man term...  ask somebody.
• Why do I even bother to tell the old lady at Roti Hut "slight pepper"?  I never learn...  Does any West Indian granny know the word slight when it comes to pepper?
• How do the Wayans brothers keep getting shows?  Does anyone even know the other one's names (other than Daymon)?  Anyone?
• How am I seeing breasts and the F word all at 6pm.  I remember the first time I heard the word bi&ch on tv.  The world's ending.  We're all going to hell.  It's a wrap.  Who programs Showcase?
•Have you ever noticed that we're starting to adapt the rules that our parents used impose on us?  I cussed someone last night for calling at 12:02am like, "do you have any idea what time it is?  You don't know people have to go to work in the morning?  Stchepts.  Dial Tone".
• And who gave the budget for Scary Movie (1-10) when no one's done a movie on Nelson Mandela or Mother Teresa?
• Alright... If you only have $10, and trust me - I've been broke - why are you at the club, and security says it's a mandatory coat check and you're now you're stuck because there's no refunds...
• Wan... this is why I love you - I can't believe you just reminded me of my yellow Sony walkman with the flipover... 
• That's when times were real - we'd split the earphones down the centre and listen to one each - or, that being that phattest walkman ever, I believe it had 2 headphone jacks... so you could share the sounds while you split a pizza slice lol...  
• Mine got stolen out of my gym bag... I was like C.S.I. Toronto, cause when Mom's found out, it was gonna be licks...  
•  I was 'fraid the licks that were coming if I didn't come home with it, as, it shouldn't have gone to school in the first place - and it was $89.99 at Consumers Distributing - and - money didn't grow on trees...
• Did you just say that Red Lobster's your favorite restaurant?  I didn't realize Red Lobster was a restaurant lol...   Pass the crayons
• How, after X amount of years of practice, can't I wash my hands without getting my damn sleeves wet?
• Yes.  I said Consumers Distributing.  I also frequented, Bargain Harolds, Honest Eds, Valdi, Perri's, Franklins, Woolcrest, Woolco, and Towers. 
• Everget licks in the shower?  Running from the belt... trying to protectyour privates... trying not to drop... trying to hold her arm... tryingto avoid the licks?
• Evidentlysomeone eats Rum and Raisin.  Sorrrrrrrrrrry.  You guys are likemacintosh people - it seems to be some sort of cult.  I can't believehow many of you wrote me...
• DidJester just say, "he was giving his number to a girl and another girlsnatched it out of the air like she had a WHISPER 2000"?  BRAPPPPPS.
• DidChambers just look at my photo album and say my dad looks like a Triniversion of  "HUNTER"?    What you know about D.D. McCall?
• Did Miss G. just laugh because I said I used to DEEK out the other kids on the soccer field?  You don't remember the word Deek?
• Why do guys leave the stickers on their hats.  Are they planning to return them to the store like girls after the club?
• Who told my mom that I said she beat me in the shower?  Snitch.  Anyhow I get more, you're dead after school.  (Remember waiting for the bell?)
• If you're too nice for someone to tell you something, then you too can walk around the club all night with your skirt tucked into your underwear.  Too many ladies get too many sexual advances...  Now no one can tell you anything without you thinking we're trying to pick you up. Coincidentally.  Don't flatter yourself.  You're not number 1 up on the good look chart.
• Dr. Jay's game is dopppppppppppppppe, but you know you can't jump like that..[ www.socatherapy.com/games ]
• One long p.s. entitled I got so much trouble on my mind... (inspired by quest love and chuck d)... with my random thoughts of the morning, randomly typed.
my basement is a mess...
and i feel like despite the fact that i've been cleaning it for 2 weeks that the mess is just moving from side to side and pile to pile...
and i can't find my ras kass album... (Dwayne MORGAN)
and how is it that i end up with cd covers with no cds and cds with no covers...
and why do i try to sort them, with the result being that they end up on the floor
and then, i step on one, breaking a case, prompting the clean up process to begin again...
and why do my clothes go from laundry to basket to bed to floor and back to laundry,
often without being worn...
and why am i putting off the inevitable...
and I'm tired of not drinking pop although its better this way...
and i've been putting off doing billing for a week...
and i have no more witty lines for my email...
and i finally found "Fresh" on dvd for 19.99 at hmv...
you should really watch it - it's fresh... and exciting...
and the cut creator crew reminded me that Richochet is the Denzel movie i'm looking for...
and i'm still scared to call ...
and proof is dead...
and violence in hip hop is a ridiculous phenomenon that i can't explain, so don't ask me...
and i want to read Pound Bascunan's book on the topic, but i don't know where to find it...
but you should read Stephen Lewis' "Race against Time"...
and I ordered the autobiography of David Suzuki, but it hasn't come?
and I'm starting a book club... you in?
no... really... i'm starting a book club...
and a speakers series...
and don't you hate asking your friends for help...
and don't you hate more the way you feel when they politely tell you to beat it?...
and then they have the audacity to ask you for a favor later...?
and you tell them to f off?...
and they feel you owe them an apology...
and they can suck their apology out your...
and am i wrong?
and you're tom cruise... you can't handle the truth...
handle it...
and you're most annoyed because it took a lot for you to ask for help in the first place...
and don't you hate when someone borrows your stuff and then tells you come get it?
and why are girls mad at you when they want you and can't have you?
and yes... i've heard that guys are the same way and don't talk to you when they see you...
and there's other pisces in the sea...
and capricorns too...
and i really wanted that house...
but you know the creed - HEAT
(Do not have any attachments, do not have anything in your life you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you spot the heat around the corner." Neil McCauley (Robert DeNiro): Heat 1995)
and busta rhymes is too fast to work out to...and you say do it to soca?
and I insist that I have no groupies... that's them with the black discs and headphones...
and i'm not saying that they HAVE groupies or that I specifically know of any... i'm just saying, djs have groupies... not graphic designers...
what?  girls have told me that they're attracted to the talents of djs...
and birds keep dropping on my car...and i swear i want to stakeout and catch them...
anyone for curry gull?
and I was running out of space on my hard drive, so i went and got a dvd burner...
but before i could backup everything i caught a virus on a warez site trying to download illegal software... shame on me...
and i need a pedicure so that i can laugh at other people's feet...
and how come everyone who wants to explain to me how to be in shape or rich, is neither...
and how come everyone on myspace is "the next big thing"...
how can everyone be the next big thing?
and how i hate the phrase "i'm just trying to take it to the next level"...
and i keep putting off the dentist too...
thank god for call display...
and don't call me private... i don't answer... you could be someone i don't want to talk to...
and why is every girl wearing the multiple shirt format - white shirt under longer (insert colour here) shirt and add optional: third shirt and/or house slippers...
and what's up with the house slippers in the street that are ugly in the house...
and "you want more money than cosby"?...
and it's that type of talk that makes me think you ain't got no puddin'...
and summer's here so that must be puddin' cause jello don't shake like that...
and how do you get the white white on air max's after their damaged from driving?
and i just told my mom that she nags for the sake of hearing her own voice...
and i'm still waiting for the box...
and it's coming... you can't dodge licks - i must have watched one 2 many episodes of sweet 16...
and i don't care that you think i need to do weights... i don't like weights...
and i can't find my bluetooth earpiece... or my sweater... did my ex take it?
and i've misplaced an envelope with a cheque in it...
and i want thundercats on dvd but it's $59...
wtf?
i feel like i'm taking 6 steps forward and 7.25 steps back...
and what are these kids eating? our girls weren't shaped like that at that age...
and i want to call all my friends and just hang out, but then i get busy...
and Rihanna's forehead sure is big... yeah... bigger than mine...
and lagostina is on sale everywhere...
but you get points at HBC and Home Outfitters...
and we all collect the points, but has anyone managed to use them?
and I wonder if this is air miles pt. 2... the saga of the useless points...
and i need to find something that makes me want to exercise so that when i go to the doctor i don't need to close my eyes when he weighs me...
and is there any science in that eye test?
where's the line i'm supposed to stand behind...?
and who uses mostly men's products at the body shop? SC?
and why is did the girl in the body shop tell me not to laugh, as it obviously wasn't me...
and why, on this particular day did it result in me asking her not to do that...
until she forced me to tell her about her bad $2.99 super yaki...
and that she should have used a curved needle to put it in???
and she's lucky i was in a good mood, as her skin was atrocious...
and i was going to tell her to get a sponsorship from her job or just let them take it out of her pay...
and i know better as my mom would be ashamed of me for talking to a woman, and a black woman at that, like that so i didn't...
but she started it... cause i wasn't talking to her...
fass...
and how come we don't tell our children when they're not good at something?
like... Shaquilkallata - you're not going to make it as a model as there's no 42, 21, 70 market...
or when you land, and the place shakes, you're not graceful enough to be a dancer...
and why do we just pick titles randomly without research or education?
yeah.. this week I'm a publicist...
and when a girl says she's fat or ugly, is that where we're supposed to jump in say "noooo... you're not". Are we?
and when you're arguing with me and i don't have anything to say, why do you say... don't you have anything to say?
evidently i don't...
but "give the script so i can say what you want me to say" probably will get you more upset
and i'm not mean, but if you think you're ugly, i'm not going to try to change your opinion anymore...
and too want to know my net worth...
and promoters get up on my $#@... eat some breakfast first...
and the most anticipated release date since Mandela is coming...
and don't read between the lines on the fullscap... if i didn't say, it wasn't said...
and if i did, i probably meant it...
unless you hurt my feelings... i'm sensative
and i wish lost girls could see how beautiful they are...
and life's like a treadmill... people are running in place...
and i feel like chuck d... standing in the crosshairs here...
and dr. jay's video game is taking it to the next level...
and no... it really is...  www.socatherapy.com/games... its been played about 60,000 times
and black.white is a sociological experiment that needed to happen...
and i wish someone would do an experiment on the life shortening affects of having to endure racism...
and i don't mean someone calling you a name... i mean not being able to feed your fam because you're overqualified...
and don't try to sell me bs... i know the prices...
and don't envy me... i work god damn hard...
and while you were at the club having a light beer... i was up working here...
and while you were downloading music on your ipod there... i was up... working here...
and somebody tell god that i got a couple questions here...
and aren't i poetic?
no... dwayne's a poet...
and i've got my foot on the throat on the pulse of this scene and i'm not letting...
up...
and... my new name is just the facts... while a lot of you adjust the facts...
and you know that party wasn't sold out... especially from week
so why say it?  we're gonna see when we get there...
and how is it that "vibe" is an intangible force, but everyone feels when there's none...
and blogging is the ish...www.myspace.com/ianespinet
and rum and raisin is still nasty no matter how you reason...
and easter bun or any other bread with raisins is nasty too...
and so is tripe...
and i saw your little email...  again. 
i repeat... we're MAJOR... you're harold minor.
and if you think i'm talking to you, i am.
and trident splash is an afrodesiac...
and yes i said afro... 
• your parents lied... you're not special you're just stupid
• I hate cold feet. 
• I put on socks and they're still cold.  Maybe I should be like a girl and push them under someone on the damn couch.
• I really hate that.  Why do girls insist on arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh...  That's more of a pet peeve than... ummm?  Indecent Proposal...
• You looked better on myspace.com.  That's a hot shirt.  I'm getting one made.  Back print?  Any ideas? 
• Time doesn't equal ring.  Good behaviour + time = ring. Maybe. 
• It's funny to me how women think that they should get a ring for all the years they've been in a relationship like players think they should get more money for how many times they've been in the playoffs... djs for caribana appearances etc...  How did you do in the playoffs???  And how did you do THIS year???? 
• Me?  I'm in contract negotiation... LMAO.
• Why don't I like Indecent Proposal?  Men ask questions that we don't want the answers to.  All the time.  And the fact that she liked it got me mad on behalf of Woody...  And that she said she did it for THEM when she really just wanted an excuse, got me even MORE upset.
• Is it just me, or does every West Indian have a (t)antie June or Patsy???
• I Am West Indian!!!  Trinmaican to be exact...  Forget R. Kells and Jay-Z.  I'm the best of both worlds... 
• How exactly did Kirk Franklin get addicted to porn?
 
• and...
i wonder how i loved a show with a car with a confederate flag, so much...
and how a white girl with no bamsy started a fashion statement called daisy dukes...
and i wonder what it must feel like to be able to bat my eyelashes and have stuff paid for...
it must suck... hmmmm. 
and i wonder why its okay for a girl to hit a guy...
and if he complains he's Lionel...
even though he could beat her to a pulp?...
then he'd be Andre Rison...
and she'd be justified in burning down his house...
and from the mouths of babes come the truest truths...
and "you know what?  you're kinda fat"...
its so on...
cause she's so right... in her innocence...
and cause i'm semi cute and kinda throw hot parties, i'm overlooking it...
but it must be fixed...
cause i really want to play mas on the road... with the 300 espinet and sons masqueraders...
and don't get tied up... CALLALOO IS NUMBER 4 ON THE ROAD...
meaning the whole road is ahead of us... no kids jumping up in the mas...
and although i've seen everyone's submissions...
and i'm not a mas man... someone must be a masked man...
cause my 2 sections are 2 of the hottest out?
and the colours of trinidad are red, black and white no?
and so band of the year = number 1 = callaloo
see... we have propaganda too...
meaning don't get it twisted... get it right...
amnesia boat cruise will sell out...
as soon as i get those damn tickets back...
check in on monday...
cause the print run is flopped...
and the busta album is fire...
and you didn't hear from me, cause it's not out til next tuesday...
and if i go down, i don't wear stop snitching shirts so...
it was jester's fault for giving me the fire...
luckily, i'm not going down...
and did nas just say "catchy... like sleeping under open windows that's drafty, then waking up my throat scratchy... that's how i spit it nasty"...?
and while cleaning, i found my original business card...
and the quote on the back remains one of my favorites ever...
and it's true that "our future lies chiefly within our own hands... that neither instititution, nor friends can make a race
stand unless it has strength in its own foundation; that races, like individuals must stand or fall by their own merit; that to fully succeed they must practice the virtues of self-reliance, self-respect, industry, perseverance, and economy"...
and isn't Paul Robeson Nas' predecessor?
and Paul?  How come I can't find a woman who practices these virtues?
and how come no one told rihanna that her wig looks like she's discovering canada... like louis reil or some ish? 
one beaver... just sitting on top of her skull...
and has anyone noticed she's doing her best beyonce?
and that jay already likes young girls, so maybe B should be worried...
as she looks like she just came out of phys ed...
speaking of which, i'm so disappointed with the urban entertainment industry...
for turning up for the stylus awards in white ts and sportswear...
but the awards were PHENOMENAL...
and this is some of the funniest ish i've ever seen in my life...
at least the first 5 times i watched it was...
http://www.jaydahl.com/backjumping.html
hahahahahha... freebacking...
and why do girls think they can mind f you...
and i think this blog is getting a bit personal...
don't you think? lol...
nah... it's not ALL my story lol...
and i want to write a book called "what women want"...
and talk about how still waters run deep, but they're not as "exciting"...
and so how most waste their late 20s chasing men that don't want them, and don't treat them well...
before becoming desperate in their early 30s...
after their cars are at 300k and been driven to see nex' tings...
although he told you what he was...
and your friends told you what he was...
and now, i'm up at 3am listening to you crying...
when i have a flyer to do for dr. jay...
and i feel badly for kicking you off, but jay really needs his flyer...
and my granny said... "if you make your bed you have to lie in it"...
and he never made yours after he got out... doesn't that just p you off?
and this basement looks a little better...
now if i could just tie up these taxes...
and move beyond this stage...
and as i go through these albums again...
i try not to diss product on the labels that support me... but really...
who buys avant albums?
and isn't life worthless if you don't control your destiny? 
and so i wonder why people are afraid to leave jobs that they hate...
and relationships that are dead end...
oh... responsibility and comfort
read desiderata...
and splash is still the wickedest gum ever...
and go trinidad... even though we don't stand a chance...
we're a snowball in hell...
but win or lose, we are a warrior...
and i never knew i knew so many supermodels... thanks hi-5
and i haven't watched tv in days... my converter batteries are dead...
and why do toronto people love to wear a New York hat so? 
i don't watch the blue jays...
do we suck?
and what do you think of a new reality show... Canada's Top Promoter...on CTV…?
and why do white people love a congo line so?
they'll start one anywhere... no wedding is safe...
like neddy with that damn electric slide...
and how is vaughn mills so big that i lost my car?
and who's supposed to read a magazine after its been in the bathroom?
and when did it become permissable for you to go to the bathroom while i'm still on the phone...
and i don't care how comfortable we are...
and "you must be a parking ticket because you've got fine written all over you"?
does that really work?
and does that billboard really say "cheetahs are pussies"...
can they do that?...  what happened to censorship...
and does that mean that the mini is faster?
or is it a statement of the obvious?
aren't lions pussies too then?
i saw one at the zoo... and all he did was sleep...
should you just let sleeping pussies lie?
i'm really tired.  what does all of this mean?
it means dr jay has me up 3 weeks in a row on thursday night doing flyers...
somethings got to give... it's not hot yet...
and the shirt of the week goes to...
"my name is Dick... tell ya moms to keep my name out her mouth"
and the runner up goes to "stand back... i don't know how big this thing gets"...
and honourable mentions go to...
"my other ride is your mom"...
"smile if you give head"... (try not to)
"more reading... less breeding"... "fat girls can cook"
and my favorites... "wish these were brains" and "I'll try to be nicer, if you try to be smarter".
how are those for p.c?

and who signed t-pain?
and my laundry still needs sorting...
but at least the cds are sorted...
and look pon dwayne and su de pon the Warner flyer...
when do i get my "canada's next top model on"? 
i'd prefer all black... it's more slimming...
what?  i'm too fat? lol...
fat guys know drive through schedules...
and how do people want to give people skins for their bday like its a present for the birthday person...
isn't that a present for the giver?
and i love summer... everyone wears everything they feel like...
and sometimes everything jiggles when people walk like its jello?
and stop throwing rocks at the throne?  really.
and my boy said i should do a father's day party...
and someone was like, "there's not enough good fathers"...
and someone else said, "nuff mothers are fathers"...
and while this is true, i know so many...
like Kevin White that don't get credit...
cause you don't credit for what you're supposed to do...
but the bad ones mar us all...
cause there were a generation of good fathers who inspired us to be good fathers... like mine
and bad fathers who inspired many to be good fathers unlike theirs but like mine...
so hats off to fathers...
and i think teachers are professional liers...
cause they said they wanted parent volunteers...
but they really wanted people to pawn off kids on...
and an opportunity to run away and leave us with children at the zoo...
and i think i got heat stroke walking all day in the hot sun...
and it's a pity i didn't get any colour still lol...
and does anyone know the meaning of friendship anymore?...
and i'm so happy i only have a few...

• I must be getting old... I just realized I'm eating Breton garden vegetable crackers.

• People are starving... Why don't they make a proper resealable cheese pack so I don't feel bad when I want to throw out the exposed cheese?

• It's almost as bad as the skim on skim milk or wet bread... Yack.

• Isn't it funny how, when you leave your house, even for a second, looking like a mess that you automatically run into someone you haven't seen in like 9 years?
 
• Then you try to explain that you don't always look like this but...

• You know inside their heads their eyes are rolling...  like what-ever...

• Then it happens again.  With a girl you used to have a crush on...

• How can I use predictive text on my cell if you're name has 5 vowels next to each other?
