Girls without Voices

I’m sitting in a printing shop waiting to be served there’s a girl beside me playing with her fingernails waiting patiently to be served, the attendant is chatting on the phone. Now I get up and ask what is going on, why should sit down and wait while you finish your conversation I’m a costumer, who is spending my hard earned money I dont deserve some respect.

I hate women who just sit down and put up with things for the sake of being quiet, i refuse to sit and allow my rights to float around, why does it have to be about who I know. I am, honestly annoyed at what I have to deal with everyday, I am a human being, not a criminal and I will not sit down and allow foolishness to happen. I wish more women would stand up and understand that we are the back bone of any country and every household.

Not only do women who remain quiet bother me but, it bothers me that our world especially in times like these we aren’t uniting and coming together to help each other, i  really wish we would put aside racism, and our fear of how others view us.

Night Life in Jamaica

You can get a glimpse when you watch Rihanna video for “Rude Bwoy” heavily influenced by Jamaica and Dancehall that our culture as it relates to partying and the influence of music is no joke. Every and any day of the week depending on your preference we party hard in Jamaica, we might not be no Ibiza but give us a couple millions and we’ll put the finishing touches on it and then there’de be no force stronger than this one.

If you’re a “younging” like myself you would have started with Quad night club, remember back in the days when it used to be the “Spot” and when that wasn’t the only option there were a hundred and one all inclusive parties happening every night you could just pick choose and refuse. When the option came around Fiction we were hungry for a change of space, way way smaller than what we were used to but we adjusted, Now with heavy hitter Club Privilege that has embodied everything that Quad and Fiction is offering and much more, the question is, “are we ready for this Privilege”

The “ones who know” know Club Privilege’s decor is heavily influenced by European style with splashes of Jamaican culture all over it. Two Bars, a spacious dance floor, a VIP area as big as Fictions whole dance floor and then some, a DJ booth that looks aover the whole club and two separate sitting areas, makes partying in Club Privilege, well for a lack of a better word, A Privilege.

The first bar that greets you upon entering Club Privilege, better known as the high end bar carries champagnes, wines, cognac, Patrons and other high end liquor that other clubs do not carry, its safe to say the accumulated cost from the first bar could probably buy me a range rover and a small apartment, #FACT.

The club boasts a unique lighting system that has the ability to change the mood of the club, you won’t find a lighting system similar or even compared to what Club Privilege has created.

If you have never been to Jamaica well my friends now is the time to go, if you want to party Kingston city, if you wanna lye down on the beach Ocho Rios and Montego Bay, There is soooo much to do in Jamaica. Stay tuned as I tour you around my beautiful island

Raised in a family of musicians, music has always been a central part of Niki McNally’s life. She grew up performing and writing her own songs, but it was her high school exposure to Sasha’s “San Francisco” Global Underground mix that she credits as her introduction to the creative possibilities of electronic music. She was instantly hooked, and after chasing down as many mixes and DJ sets as she could, she began to learn the craft of DJing for herself.

Mixing up different genres and sounds – everything from drum & bass to downtempo and ethno-techno – her DJ sets there helped her develop a keen ear for blending a diverse array of styles together.

Touching on house, progressive and techno in her sets, her goal is to get the dancefloor focused on moving.

You Know best.

Nobody can really tell you what to do, i mean in a perfect world not really. Except maybe the police, President, your boss, your mom, OK so a few people can tell you what to do but not alot. My point is when you ask people for advise what you’re really asking for, (at least I hope that’s what you’re doing) is just voicing your opinions for a free life is voicing what’s going on in your mind, some psychiatrist believe that saying your problems out loud helps your mind to asses the  better so you understand better the circumstances, that as well as they could just be defending their practice.  Either way there is some truth to it, we all know what to do deep down inside, we all know staying away from this girl or dating that guy will have its positives and negatives, we as “reasonable” individuals must weigh these pros on cons. Everything in life is “gamble’ the question is; Are you a gambler?

We’re coming to a closure on Relationship week, and my final comments are when you and a man/woman are together in a private moment or the hundreds you share nobody feels that connection except for you and that person.

You know the answers to all your life’s questions.

You Know best.

bohemea: bradelterman: My timing could not have been more perfect to be nineteen and right there on the scene with The Ramones, Runaways, Dylan and nude swim parties with a camera hanging around my neck. If I was a couple of years later, I would have missed everything! I think John Rockwell invited me to this party. Directly behind the Beverly Hills Hotel is a huge mansion owned by David Lane. I knew many of the guests, although an older crowd.  It was a warm sunny afternoon, I was standing next to the bar trying to get a drink and all of a sudden this lovely girl started to strip down right in front of me. I only had a wide-angle 24 mm camera lens, not really wide enough, so I backed up as far as I could, almost knocking over the bar. You have to do the best you can in these situations. Take a close look at the guy on the left of the photograph walking towards the girl. That is Burt who was and still is, almost thirty years later, a permanent fixture on the party circuit. I am sure that he was on his way to get this girl’s telephone number. Back then, I did not think it too much of a big deal going to a Mega Mansion party in Beverly Hills with nude girls because I attended three or four of these a week! This was the only photograph worth taking at the party and now is one of my favorite photos. It truly captured a moment from that incredible era that I will never see again. Photo by Brad Elterman
