Check out my sons pages(Donald John, DJ Showcase)and show him some love....Music..... American Pit Bull Terriers..... Reggae Festivals..... concerts.... mosh pits..... I love being bruised up and sore from smashing around in mosh pits. I can throw a frisbee and shoot pool as naturally as I can walk. I love to play (baseball; catcher all my life, football, b-ball) sports but, don't really watch 'em. Watching DVDs, Medical Cannabis, Chillin' with friends... Driving beating out... I'll be doing that 'til the day I die... Skankin at the Reggae/Dancehall shows. If you go to the front at almost every reggae festival in Cali, you'll probably see me there. And I might even be by myself. I've been known to do that. If you like positive vibes go to a Reggae show/festival. There really is a natural mystic in the air, it's a feeling you can't escape and once you experience it.....it stays with you when you leave.
"We often write music about hard times and because it is about hard times we write, we try to beautify the tune to diffuse tension...."
Respect, Love, and Kindness are forms of strength, not weakness. Don't be weak. Love isn't love until you give it. Words without work isn't enough. One Love One Blood One Spirit
