ONE STEP BACK, TWO STEPS FORWARD!

I know exactly what you’ve been wondering to yourself. “Where the hell has Vybe been?”, “How come he’s on Twitter and Facebook regularly but there’s much less updates on his Official Blog?”, and my personal favourite, “Where’s the new music?”. Well, I’m happy to formally announce that my little hiatus is over (obviously – since you’re reading this lol), and this blog post contains the answers to all these questions and more (well more or less) in this blog post. Read on to get the scoop, as I tackle the burning questions one by one. (more…)

2010 ELECTIONS IN TnT!

AAAAAAAND… CUE POLITICAL COMMENTARY!

I’m not a political advocate of any sort, so this is just a quick recap of some necessary info. Today (May 24th, 2010) is Election Day in Trinidad And Tobago (my homeland). YES, I voted. NO, I’m not saying for whom lol. YES, I advocate voting (I believe that democracy is a gift we should all treasure and use wisely). And NO, I’m not getting caught up in all the political madness that has been going on for the last few weeks in TnT. The Bottom line is that I exercised my Democratic rights, and now we wait to see who winds up running the country for the next few years. For me personally, this means BACK TO WORK! (Studio with Madman Johann of Madmen Productions tonight.)

That is all.

END OF POLITICAL COMMENTARY.

REST IN PEACE KOKO

If you were part of the Soca scene in Trinidad and Tobago, there’s very little doubt you at some point encountered the beautiful soul that is Katsuko Yanagimoto. Most of us know this tiny Japanese-born treasure better as “Koko” or “Coco Tea”. Japanese lovers of Caribbean culture will know her from her Japanese blog dedicated to all things Caribbean, but if you’re an online enthusiast from the islands, then maybe you were familiar with her from Facebook, OR perhaps you just happened to be one of the countless lucky followers who enjoyed her constantly upbeat “tweets” as @embolada on Twitter.

DEAR MUSIC: WHY THE F@#% AM I DOING THIS AGAIN?

Dear Music maninchair

Looking back at my life, there is one undeniable common denominator that was the catalyst in one way or another for demise of almost all my romances, the irreversible breakdown of countless relationships (family, business, friendship and otherwise), the loss of too many friends to mention over the years and too many personal hardships to chronicle in this one blog. Bottom line: choosing music as a way of life has taken it’s toll – HARD. Which leads me to try to address a pertinent question that one of the few real friends I have left recently challenged me to answer for myself: “Why the f@#% do I keep doing this?”. (more…)

UPDATE: SINCE MY LAPTOP FELL AND DIED…

Alot has happened since the triumphant launch of MistaVybeWorld.com. We celebrated a victorious first week online, receiving kudos from supporters and well wishers all around the globe via text messages, phone calls, Facebook, Myspace, etc. We got “bigged up” on several noterworthy blogs within just days of our initial launch. We started preparing the groundbreaking PHASE TWO of our many-tiered plan for World Domination, which we plan to unveil in the coming week. Oh – and did I mention MY LAPTOP FELL AND WOULDN’T WORK AFTER THAT? (more…)
