Crack of Dawn

Just 6 months ago..




I got a call, "Your package has arrived, sir." I was so hyped, jumped straight in the car and jetted of to the Retail Park. Enter the shop and head straight for the section where I need to be. I was first on the scene and first person to recieve the product from that store. It took a while cause they didn't know what exactly to do. But after half an hour I was set to go.





The iPhone 3G White 16GB. It was the first official model of the iPhone to reach most of Europe. '


I'm happy with it, of course it's not the perfect phone, but the design is good, it's very user friendly and I hardly have any problems with it. The sky is the limit with the App store and just the fact of having an iPod and a Phone (I used to carry both with me 24/7) in one is perfect.


Now, a couple of weeks ago I was out playing football on the street. All of a sudden the music stops, I look down and there my iPhone lay. White side up (Face down) on the concrete. Not realising the consequences I pick up the phone revealing a crack from the top to the bottom of the screen


DAMN, MOTHERF*CKER, SH*T, F*CK.

(Pic is not mine btw, but it looks the same roughly)

So now I gotta get it fixed, €100, cause this was my first phone that I didn't insure.. (Headache!?)

Oh well, life goes on. I just wanted to let you know about my materialistic FAIL.

School of Hardknocks

You can go to school but Class can't be taught

Some people are born with something. That little spark, that makes them just a bit more interesting than others. It's amazing because this is something that comes purely from within. There is no school, book or teacher that can teach you this. It is a skill that can't be honed.

You probably know someone who has something special about them. It might not stand out all the time but somehow you know that that person is going to go far. Sometimes it seems unfair, but I guess I can answer that comment with an overworn cliché.

Life isn't fair

Nature and life in a whole work in very mysterious ways. People used to call it God because they didn't know better, now we know better, we still call it God. Now my question is before zoning into another subject is, Is That Progress?
Find the meaning in yourself, it is the only place you will find it. Persue political, social, religious or other group-bound convictions and you will only find their answers, but not your own. You will find the truth from within not from the outside.

We find the outside very important these days and I can't lie, I watch what I eat and go to the gym, but I will never loose sight of what is really important, the soul. As your body, your soul is a temple. This temple, as the one that is your body can only take a certain amount of abuse, so before you think about attacking yourself, mentally or phisically, think of the consequences.

Scarred

Step into the world a new born star
Enter the wild clean but leave this life scarred
Part ways with the innocent and meet the hard
Harsh times compell people to actions of underpar
In parts of the earth the prince of life is cheap
For wearing the wrong color or walking the wrong street

A father stressed out , comes home to kids and wife
This life's too much for him so he takes the kitchen knife
Contemplaiting his future, his children are too loud
His marriage is non existant his wife keeps creeping out
He can't pay his bills and he's been fired a week ago
Help is not an answer there's only one way to go
His mind is unclear from the liqor in his blood
Screams and shouts echo the house, there is no love
While his wife is fast a sleep he steps out of bed
Murder and suicide the 2 things in his head
No other thought can penetrate his mind
On the edge for too long he's snapped and lost his mind
This isn't the first time he's had the knife in his hand
His actions are not his own this isn't what he had planned
He wanted a nice life a big house a nice car
His children too grow up, develope, become stars
His wife to be happy, together through any weather
Stick with each other for worse or for better
He steps into the bedroom forgetting the vowles he wrote
Stands there for an hour and then.. slits her throat
In a last gasp she screams but is's all too late
The demon has taken over, no expression on his face
Blood dripping from the blade he moves to the next room
Forgets about the joy he felt when his kids where in the woom
The days that they where born the happiest of his life
Every memory erased, homicide is all he tastes
He opens the door while the kids are fast asleep
One is 6, one is 2 she's just starting to speak
The first words she said where mummy and daddy
Now daddy's lost controle, now daddy's lost his soul
He puts the knife to them both then clinches his fist
Looks up to the sky while he slits his own wrist

Darker than usual.. But the world isn't always a happy place..

Smooth Criminal

As you all have probably heard, The King of Pop is retiring.
To end his fantastic career he is going to do a couple of finishing shows.
Shows where I need to be! Hopefully I'll be able to get some tickets.
For all the ups and downs he has been through I still want to thank him for blessing us with albums of sublime material and inspiring so many great artists from Usher to Justin Timberlake.
MJ, you'll always be the King of Pop! Thank you!

Thriller

Reflection Eternal..

Mirror so deep, I get lost in the view
Lost in the maze between classic and the new
Era’s change forever but my mind’s never clearer
So far away but illusion’s telling me I’m nearer

I am so far out, too far, I see blurry
I’m hungry for the passion but my soul carries the worry
The light is too bright, I stay inside the tunnel
Free in the dark, ambition guiding my heart

How can I, I mean how can it be
That my vision is clear but I just can’t see
Death defines a human but doesn’t effect my ways
Life is a gift, so I’m counting every day

Life dartboard, can’t seem to find the bull
99 strings, don’t know which one to pull
My mind is green tea, my soul is outer space
It’s feels so good, but I can’t define the taste

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

He doesn’t want to be a star, but day and night the’re around
Has to find a place between the sky and the ground
Express untold thoughts through words and sound
But they don’t understand, look at him like a clown

They can’t feel the things that go to war inside
They can’t see the way that it kills him inside
Particles of self vanish to non-existence
Footsteps away questioning his own existence

Wondering why he’s there, but answers never come
Observing other people but never becomes one
Others observe him, but he’s in a whole other zone
Afraid to step out, afraid to become a clone

Far from home, like his heart’s been removed
Love’s abstract, but too vast to exclude
No value to the screen feeling like an interlude
So he breaks into the world, steps into the blue

I must be from another planet..

So in this part of the country they just finished celebrating their beloved 'Carnaval'.
It's a 3-4 party with religious backgrounds. Now-a-days nobody really thinks about the religious meaning of the event, they just go out and get canned for a couple of days.
I'm not really into the whole things because of a couple of reasons:

- Music
I need music to party, that's just me. I can't do without music. And the fucked up shit that comes out of the speakers during this event is earblistering. It's just horrible.
Example:




- Intoxicated People
I don't mind having a drink, I actually enjoy having a drink. But the way people let themselves go during Carnaval is just so over the top. People are wasted at 11 o'clock in the morning.. Start doing things they normally don't do, which brings me to my next point.

- Who are you?
People you know by face or maybe even name that you normally don't talk to are now so happy to see you. Talk to you as if they always do when just last week you saw them and they didn't say shit.

- She's with me*
It's the drink and the aura surrounding the even that says, hook up with as many people as you can.. When you're in a relationship, having some drunk dude hanging in your girl's ear isn't the coolest thing to see. So you say something when his alcohol influenced mind starts to get too close, he flips cause he is (still) drunk and you end up in an arguement or fight (it doesn't even have to be cause of a girl, people just fight for no reason). NICE!

*I'm not that insecure dude checking on his girl every 5 minutes, I trust the person who I am in the relationship with, without that you haven't got anything. It's just these fucked up dudes that I don't trust. Frisky hands, lips etc.

Anyway, it's not all terrible of course. It's a chance to have fun, let your hair down and just go all out. If it was with different music, I would be out all 4 days. But this year I went 2 of the 4 days and it was cool. Saturday we went into Venlo to the Motown where they kept the music funky which I really appreciated. Then Sunday was in a smaller place and it was pure Carnaval music, that was a shame but it wasn't terrible. But I'm glad it's over..

Isn't the island amazing..?







Apart from the fact I'm English, which makes me an islandperson, I've found a love for another kind of island, Manhatten, translated into Sex and the City.






I know what you tough dudes are going to say but this is one of the best series ever. I started watching about 2½ years ago and I've been kinda hooked. As a matter of fact I'm in the finishing stages of the complete package.
But one of the things that I love about S&C is the location. I love the city, I'm a city person. You won't catch me living in one of these 'farmer' villages, EVER. I mean, look at the lifestyles. There is always something to do, it's near magnetic. In July/August I'm moving to Utrecht which is a step in the right direction, we'll see where it goes from there.

So someone asked me who my favorite character is in S&C and to be honest I couldn't really decide.
Miranda is great, because you can really trust her and she is very straight with you. If she doesn't like something she isn't afraid to say it.
Samantha, wow, Samantha, where to start LOL. As she would say, she is 'fabulous'. And her lifestyle is fantastic (sexual and non sexual).
Charlotte is the epidemy of a perfectionist. The perfect appartment, the perfect guy, the perfect first date, the perfect proposal, the perfect dress, the perfect marriage etc. etc. Plus I really enjoy her innocent role, especially in dialogue with Samantha (the teebag situation haha).
Carry is my least favorite te be honest, of course she's allright but I'm still looking for that thing that makes Carry special. Plus, I'm not a big fan of a. smokers (no offence, I just don't really understand. Call me Aidan :-P) b. cheating (offence intended). Sometimes her outfits are fantastic but sometimes the're kind of weird and off. Her shoe game is tight though.



Mix the 4 woman and I think you've found the perfect woman.

Let me know what you think...

Abstract Thoughts

We're recording a couple of new tracks and one of them is called "it's
so absurd"

That got me thinking.. In a verse you can only put so much but really,
it's so damn absurd. Everything, the way we live and the things we are
able to feel.

I mean, a broken heart really feels like your heart is broken. The
emptyness inside is unbelievable. It's not even really a broken heart,
more like no heart at all. Something you always felt and was always
there now is gone. Vanished to a place unknown to us. The recycle bin
of feeling. I wish I could just right-click and restore files.

Where's what I felt? How can I get it back? Are things that happen
really meant to be?

No one ever has an answer because there is no one that actually knows
the true answer..

After Valentine / Can't See

Valentines weekend behind us..
The Celebration of love, but in that we can't foget our past.
This song is about that past, the painfull part..
It's also on the mixtape so don't forget to download that at http://www.sendspace.com/file/hd3xz9 !

Here it is ..
Swave - Can't See (ft. JayD)



Lyrics©:
[Verse 1: Swave]
Fragile heart I feel a true paine
Broken in too there ain't no glue
That can repair, I was not prepared
I thought you loved me, I though you cared
Spare room in my soul
I thought you and me, we're gonna grow old
Then you left, my body turned cold
But not into ice, cause the teardrops swoll
Grow into a mass that flowed into a river
Mouthed into the sea- give me the shivers
Salt in the wound cry like monsoon
Cry with the sun and cry with the moon
Oceans of paine overflowed the land
Stranded on a beach, no masterplan
No cure to cure the hurt is so pure
Just like my love forever endure

[Chorus: JayD]
You dont know what you do to me girl
Love is blind and you just can't see
You dont know what you do to me girl
Love is blind and you just can't see
You dont know what you do to me girl
Love is blind and you just can't see
You dont know what you do to me gir
lLove is blind and you just can't see

[Verse 2: Swave]
Special, that's what you called me girl
Special, that's what I called you girl
But now you're gone and I'm all alone
Isolated from the feel I called home
Departed with the things that I knew
Affraid to move on and taste the new
Angle different, hate the new view
Can I trust anyone? And if yes, who?
Don't know if the change is for better
But I really did mean when I said forever
Nothings forever I should have known better
I still remember the first love letter
Sceptic, to what the future holds
Will the peace come to my 2 piece soul
Ask the question from you to you
How do you know when the love is true?
Hoe do you know?
How do you know?
How do you know?
You just don't know

[Chorus: JayD]
You dont know what you do to me girl
Love is blind and you just can't see
You dont know what you do to me girl
Love is blind and you just can't see
You dont know what you do to me girl
Love is blind and you just can't see
You dont know what you do to me girl
Love is blind and you just can't see

What you think?

Valentines away




It's been a while, I've been busy..

Last couple of days I've been busy running around trying to find producers, spots to do shows etc so that's the reason for the lack of posts. Plus I haven't really been in a great vibe either. Got some things on my mind and soul which need some deep thought.

But anyway, I found a producer that I'm going to do some work with (www.myspace.com/greenbeats2009). I'm just hoping something takes off from that situation. I've also been busy creating my own myspace but it hasn't been easy (uploading errors, lagging computers etc) but we'll get there in the end.

My minds been somewhere else while this is a time I really need to focus. So here's to concentration..

Happy Valentines Day! Spend it with the one you love, make them feel special..

BTW: Check out the new 50 Cent and G-Unit tracks on www.Thisis50.com, they are killing Officer Ricky Ross..
