Sosh B and DJ Nickiee on The Kendra Show

Today, I was on the Kendra Show on Cablevision 68. I had no idea that I was going to be interviewed LOL. But, she started asking me questions about the infamous MIMS party LOL. Hilarious. The show was very diverse and included reggae and hip-hop artists such as the new GoodGirlPR client, Sosh B (www.soshb.com), as well as poets. Kendra, the host, was quite gracious and good spirited. I love good energy. The live broadcast did become serious when she discussed the new capital punishment legislation in Jamaica where the death penalty will be evoked by the public hanging of the convicted criminal. Of course, she questioned me, the J.D Miss DJ regarding my opinion, and I gave a thoughtful answer, relating the form of death penalty to a principle of deterrence which was the theme that began my first year, Criminal Law. Sentences are meant to deter people, period, and hanging someone in public is such a medieval, humiliating form of punishment that will mostly likely decrease the murder rate in Jamaica.

Wow! Opportunities come your way when you least expect it...just grind.

Today, I hope that I put a smile on someone's face that I really care about. Making certain people smile makes my day!

Good Morning.

Good Morning! I have a feeling that today is going to be a great day. I haven't been up this early in a long time. Time to focus!

The Truth Shall Set You Free

It's 1:06am, and I'm home alone which feels weird because I've been around people constantly for the past three days. Funny thing is that I realized something about myself. I don't like being alone at all, but I'm used to a packed house, and I miss it. I set some personal and career goals for myself, and I refuse to let anyone or anything get in my way. That is what focus is. I met a woman with LA times on Thursday before my trip. She gave me some really good advice then a light bulb went off in my head. She said, "Let God handle it......everything that will be...will be." And, she's right. As long as I strive to be the best person that I can be everything will fall into place for me, and I know and believe that. The hardest thing for me is reacting positively to negativity, but it's something I am going to work diligently to conquer for ME. In the past, I asked my Grandma, "Why do I have to always be the bigger person?" It gets frustrating because I played the role my entire life. "Don't I have the right to get pissed off and upset?", I thought to myself. She said because, "You are the better person." I didn't understand what she meant then, but I do now. Some of my reactions would not make her proud at all, but it's not too late to revert back to the old Nickie. Luckily certain people love me unconditionally despite my mistakes and poor decisions which is a blessing. Good night everyone, and have a happy, productive week. You and me, we create our own happiness never give anyone power to take that away from you.

Timing

It's raining outside. The rain is fitting for the moment. Everything in life is about timing. Certain things just don't come at the right time while sometimes they do. In life you, you make your own choices that determine your destiny. I look forward to my mini vacation and the fresh air. My mind has so much on it....it's time to just let it all go if it's only for a few days...

Missing Michael Jackson

Here's one of my favorite songs by Michael Jackson R.I.P.

"I Can't Help It" by Michael Jackson

[1st Verse]
Looking In My Mirror
Took Me By Surprise
I Can't Help But See You
Running Often Through My Mind

[2nd Verse]
Helpless Like A Baby
Sensual Disguise
I Can't Help But Love You
It's Getting Better All The Time

[Chorus]
I Can't Help It If I Wanted To
I Wouldn't Help It Even If I Could
I Can't Help It If I Wanted To
I Wouldn't Help It, No

[Chorus]
I Can't Help It If I Wanted To
I Wouldn't Help It Even If I Could
I Can't Help It If I Wanted To
I Wouldn't Help It, No

[3rd Verse]
Love To Run My Fingers
Softly While You Sigh
Love Came And Possessed You
Bringing Sparkles To Your Eyes

[4th Verse]
Like A Trip To Heaven
Heaven Is The Prize
And I'm So Glad I Found You Girl
You're An Angel In Disguise

[Chorus]
I Can't Help It If I Wanted To
I Wouldn't Help It Even If I Could
I Can't Help It If I Wanted To
I Wouldn't Help It, No

And I'm So Glad I Found You Girl
You're An Angel In Disguise

[Chorus]
I Can't Help It If I Wanted To
I Wouldn't Help It Even If I Could
I Can't Help It If I Wanted To
I Wouldn't Help It, No

Good Morning.

Good morning, Everyone. Today is a good day. I took a couple of days off, but the business is still pouring in. For some reason, I thought it would stop with me. The LA Times wants to meet with me on Thursday. I'm honored. I didn't know that they have a New York Office? I'm back on my gym routine before I head Upstate (I hope there is a gym up there). A friend of mine invited me to spend the weekend with the family (that's nice). I wouldn't mind getting away from the City this weekend. Essence Magazine invited me to New Orleans for the festival, but my instincts tell me to say on the East Coast. I've started my book. I am giving myself until December to complete it. Wish me luck.

Good Night

Good night, everyone. I just finished a long conversation with Koran. It's good to have someone to talk to. :-) Thank you to all my real friends for being there for me and having my back unconditionally. I love you guys.
