The Year Is Almost Over!

I woke up this morning with a great attitude. The year is almost over, and I am right on track because I have been "intentional." I am off to the gym and will be back on the grind today.  Many blog posts to follow. I have been to 4 States in the past week and have seen a lot of people and learned a great deal as well.

R.I.P. Roc Raida

Anthony Williams, better known as Roc Raida was a phenomenal turntablist, producer, and member of the DJ group the X-Ecutioners which also included founder Rob Swift, Total Eclipse, and Mista Sinista (Steve Dee, DJ Boogie Blind, and DJ Precision were also members at various times). By 1995, Roc Raida won many awards including the 1995 DMC World DJ Championship. Based on a tweet from Talib Kweli, he was injured in a martial arts class, and unfortunately died from complications on September 19, 2009.

Grinding

I am up working. I admit that I have been sleeping a lot-probably because I have been logging in six miles plus in Central Park and on the Westside Hwyway. My body yearned for rest, but after two days of 9 hours of slumber, I am ready to work harder than ever. So, I am up at 2:43am. September is going to be a busy month, and I promise to post more pictures and videos, etc. I was mentioned in the rumors section of Allhiphop.com. Check it out. I will be sure to revisit my blog on Monday after Labor Day. I'm partying hard!

DJ Nickiee On Good Day New York

I was on Good Day New York on Fox 5 News, this morning.

Two-a-Days Continues

I am battling a cold which has to do with last week's two-a-day routine. I actually took it easy yesterday after over the weekend. The Hatha Yoga class just proved to me that I need to scretch more. If I can fit a class in my schedule two times a week that would be great along with swimming. I have to schedule swimming before I get my hair done so that looks like it will be going down once a week. Swimming just leans you down beautifully (water is amazing).

I am a ball of energy. I have always been like this. In my teenage years, I was always exercising or running somewhere. I didn't discover the power of weights until in law school. I think I am addicted to the endorphins. Before, I hit the gym. I drink Jasmine Pearl Green Tea from Wholefoods which I know increases my metabolism and then a glass of lemon water. I've read so many books about nutrition and exercising that I know exactly what to do; it's just hard to commit yourself, but once I get started; I can't stop. I hope this blog encourages someone to make a healthy change today. You literally have to start one day at a time. I started giving diet tips on my twitter page. www.twitter.com/djnickiee. Thanks for taking this journey with me. This time I want to maintain my hardwork instead of getting super fit, and then falling apart. We can all have the things that we want; the hardest part is maintaining it! That goes for your body, the big house you want, the foreign car, relationships, business, etc.

As for today, I have meetings as usual. Then, I invited some press down to Comix for Cipha's Sound's "Don't Get Gassed Comedy Show." I am very excited about working with him so stay tuned for constant good news.

Thank God It's Saturday

Thank god, it's Saturday because I am taking the day off. I'm not working to at all! I am going to work out twice, and unwind and try to stay out of trouble. I was supposed to go the car show, but I literally missed the bus. Sorry, Cipha Sounds. By the way, I am Cipha's new publicist. Sosh B and AV are performing at the car show. Even though, I live in the city, I need a car or I would totally drive there right now! Have a great weekend...you'll hear from me on Monday. By the way, I have been banging the Drake Mixtape. I haven't enjoyed music this much in a while. "Successful" is my song.

Busy Week!

Good morning! This has been such a busy week. It started with Friday night, and I have been running since then. I had an epiphany, recently. I need to start getting up early in the morning. (6:30 am). It's time to train my body for the year to come (constant work and the California and another state bar). I've finally set myself up; now it's time to execute literally. There is a method to my madness. Well, I'm off to the gym to watch the news and do cardio. I have to head back to the gym at 2pm. New York Health Racquet Club gave me a free training session with a master trainer. It's been quite a lucky week, I also can take classes at Equinox for free (I have no idea what's going on).

Yesterday, I was a hair model for Mizani. The session was held at K Salon in Staten Island. I was very impressed by the owner, Kim, very ambitious Black woman which I love. We made an instantaneous connection (sisters we need to stick together instead of hating on one another); so you should be hearing more about the K salon. I already incorporated her in a plus size fashion show that I am helping coordinate in November (always working). I got a conservative yet edgy haircut which is totally me. I love it! Thanks, Rod H. (the best hairdresser in the City hands down).

I also attended the Mayor Bloomberg event last night which was a ploy to get more votes. He's up for re-election correct? I was tricked! I would have stayed at home, worked, or worked out. I assumed the event which be an outlet to get more information about minority grants, etc. Hell no....wine, beer, and the same people from the "urban professional" parties five years ago. I'll pass, but see you guys at Prospect Park on Sunday (LOL, it's going to be extra cracking).

Tonight, I am hosting an event at SoHo 157 Lafayette St at 7pm New York City, NY 10013 for Nenna Yvonne. I just found out about this morning. Today is going to be very busy, but that's what I need-to keep busy! Have a blessed day! Off to the gym.....

Party at Citrine

I'm actually in the mood tonight to go out and have a good time. I had a fabulous day despite the rain. I worked out. I'm focused again. For the past week, I had been working on the I AM Concert Launch Party at M2 Lounge, but Beyonce called it off, and I was really disappointed. I'm positive now; hopefully an opportunity like that will come my way again.

I AM DELTA

Today, I had dinner with my Sorority Sister, Winifred. I had a good time. We had a good discussion. It was a blessing. I hear you, Wini. Now, I'm at home chilling three drinks later. I'm so buzzed, and I deserve it. I'm tight all week-I don't go out unless I'm working. I went so hard this week, and it has to pay off. I did not work this hard in law school. Damn!

I'm just chilling listening to music-Mobb Deep. When I DJ I cannot play the shit that I really like. Damn it. Oh well, I am learning not to DJ for myself. Today was pretty hectic, but it was good and positive. I had a few light bulbs go off. LOL. Brilliant plans....I love when I come up with something strategic. Well, I think I am going to relax now. It's 12:20 am...I'll start writing more, but I have been grinding (no time to write). Pray for me. I really want to be successful, and there has to be a way to do it without working for someone else.

Dinner with BlogXilla

I just finished having dinner with BlogXilla. It was interesting having dinner with a sex columnist. I admit I wanted to ask him questions, but I held back. Let's keep it business. I was so intrigued that I went to his site called www.blogxilla.com. As usual, I work so much that I don't have time to read other people's blog nevertheless write in my own. I admit I have never trouble in that department-not enough to ask someone for help. The funny thing is that I work so much that sex is just not a priority like it used to be. As a result, the S word has become more sacred.

I Did the Damn Thing

I did my damn thing last night at the Label Lounge. I am hip-hop! I can't wait to spin at Citrine on Monday for one of my infamous GoodGirlPR parties: www.goodgirlpr.com/brookejasmynwebsitellaunch
Hopefully, DJ Single White Female and I will be at the Label Lounge every Friday. I will let you know.

Female Hustler Fridays

Myself, DJ SWF, and Nina B. will be at the Label Lounge this Friday for Female Hustler Fridays:



Label Lounge is located at 174 Rivington Street b/w Clinton and Attorney. Take the F Train to Delancey or drive there using your GPS. The password is Miss DJs to enter the event. The password will be strictly enforced (LOL!).

Too Many Things to do

I'm up early today. Last night, I made the decision to start going to bed early so that I can knock the gym out in the morning instead of staying there all day and bullshitting. Plus, you burn more of the bad stuff when you work out in the morning. I'm trying to start that schedule that I've been talking about. I have a busy day ahead of me:

-I am planning the Brooke Jasmyn website launch party at Citrine on June 1, 2009 (RSVP at Brookejasmyn@goodgirlpr.com)
-Getting my set prepared for Ladies Love the Breaks (www.ladieslovenyc.com) on June 4, 2009 along with Female Hustler Fridays at the Label Lounge this week.
-Planning my 2nd annual Back to the '90s Birthday Party at Citrine on June 8, 2009. The hottest DJs of the '90s are going to be doing a guest set. Dope! (RSVP at djnickiee@goodgirlpr.com)

And, I have plenty to do with my PR duties and law firm launch plans to keep me busy.

I found some new pictures of me. Check it out!

Ladies Who Love the Breaks

Yesterday, I ran around the perimeter of Prospect Park which is 3.75 miles. My friend said to run around twice, but I just could not to it. I had a very interesting night. I went over Laurie's house for dinner. Laurie is just a cool spirit. She is having an event to raise money for autism, and I am djing downstairs with DJ Tygerlilly (www.twitter.com/djtygerlilly):



DJ Chela and DJ Sparkles will be there cutting and scratching it up as well.

They had this dope astrology book there. Do you believe in the zodiac? I do. I was reading about the Taurus male which I seem to have long term relationship with along with my zodiac, Geminis with whom I seem to have long term friendships. The book was very on point.


The night was interesting because my homeboy went on for about an hour regarding his date with what he thinks is a transsexual. I still don't understand why he told us the story in the first place. I would have kept that to myself. Strange....

I'm up. I'm going for an hour run along the Westside highway. I run without music. It's just my legs and thoughts that get me through, and I always feel great afterwards.

DJ Nickiee at the Ed Hardy Store

I am pleased to announce that I will be at the Ed Hardy Store from 4-8pm. I am excited about my new relationship with the clothing brand. I hope see my fellow blog readers this event. Below please find the information:

Women In the Industry

It's been a while. I've been grinding really hard. By the end of March, my goal was to get an apartment in the city. I got my keys to my new apartment last week. I've been working so hard that sometimes I don't have a moment to be aware how I actually feel. I feel like there is more to life to just work. I want to start enjoying life-that starts April 1st.

I have spent so much time building my PR business that I have neglected my love of DJing. You don't realize how many hours I have logged to build my presence on the internet and my email list, and I refuse to let anyone else take advantage of my hardwork and pull that "diva" attitude with me. Those who take advantage are usually men in this industry. Hence, the reason why I am having the First Annual "Women in the Industry" event at Mr. West this Tuesday:



I hope the event is an outlet for follow women in the industry to network and hopefully make money together. :-)

DJ Nickiee Blog Spot

Hey, everybody! Let me start with saying that I am going to be very real on this Blog. I am sure my PR people, will want to edit the things that I talk about eventually, but I want everyone who reads this to really get to know me as a person. I am a true gemini. There are two sides to me-the sweetheart and the bitch, but I would prefer to be a sweetheart all day.

Who am I?

I am a female DJ, but I am also a nerd at heart. I was blessed to attend some of the greatest schools in the world from elementay school to graduate school. I believe my education defines who I am as a woman. If you look at my pictures, you may see one image, but once you talk to me, you may become very confused. I have a great family. I used to give them a hard time because I am a perfectionist and want everyone in my life to be perfect, but I have learned that perfection is impossible.

I love hip-hop. I live and breath it everyday. You will see.

Here, I will write about my daily adventures on the grind in New York and abroad. I will share my thoughts and lessons learned, and I hope it entertains and educates you. My life is nuts. I am a DJ, but also went to law school, and have putting off practicing law for years, but plan on launching my own law practice in 2009 as I strive to be the best female DJ!

Welcome to the life of DJ Nickiee..
