This “Human Condition” can be annoying at times.

Condition
April 22, 2009Foot in mouth desease
April 22, 2009So last night i had a severe bout of “Foot In Mouth Disease”.
The entire experience was somewhat surreal as i seemed to have and out of body experience watching my body being racked from this most imbecilic of illnesses.
Of course the outcome, of any such illness, leaves one in a not so redolent assemblage of feculence.
In spite of this I am excited, provided I do not have a relapse, I do believe that this endeavor may prove to be quite fun.
Beat Pan!
April 16, 2009Last Night Did HYPE. I have not had such a playout in tooo long…
I did mash-up and bun-out at the the end with nothing left in me…. I wish every perfiormance was like that
(can you guess i had fun)
The Rae outlined some of the problems with the playout and inspite of that I would Do it all again….
In any case let me state my views on some of these issues:
1.> Charging 1 hour for a playout we stay for 4 hours…..
sol.> If we have to stay to the end of a function charge them for duration… if we can leave right after playing then charge for the time we play.
2.> No food?
sol.> Band should provide food for members (if needs be include it in the the fee) have the exec assistant deal with a new responsibility area called “member wellfare at playouts” (MWaP)
3.> No Drink?
sol.> Same as food
OK, Done i with this mundane stuff where was I???….
AH YES! BAD BAD BAD!
BIG UP TO THE BAND!… I honestly know i would not want to play with another set of ppl…. the vibe and pride we have in the quality of what we produce is unmached by any other band in the country. Honestly we need more regional exposure… we are ready for the highest level… even with all our faults.
PANORIDIM TO DI RERL!
Of course after an event like this I am pumped and ready. Did i say it was hype?
So we start of with the Roll it medly…. U know Jamaicans love that song on an irrational level….. so the mood was set… Our second set… OMG! A-Minor to Old Tempo to Band from Space…… WOOOOOIIIIIYYYYY! I nearly dead, I could barely walk of the stage… TRUST ME! SWEEEEEET. Its not something I would want to do often… but I LOVED every life draining minute of it.
Now with the lack food and sweet drinks I started feeling sick, almost like i wanted to pass out….
I have said this before, soca music has a life of its own, and it is no respector of the proximity of death of its patrons… It will hold you and and not let you go till you drop.
Add to the fact that i am performing on stage….. <sigh>
.
When the last set began, I was a done, Finished…. My body was running on auxillary power…. and then music started (having chills as i type)….
You know what, i cant describe it… U would have to experience it yourself… all i can say being on stage playing soca infuses one with energy…. it is intoxicating.
In any case to sum up the playout, i’d say it was fun… just a tad

Human
April 6, 2009It is interesting how even though i know exactly what and why things happen, the corresponding emotional response is still hard to master….
Being human is hard.
