RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR - 2K14 NOTHING BUT POSITIVITY

Reasonably priced and memories to last a lifetime

Ok here's what I didn't do - I did not watch the ball drop, I was applying mascara to my lashes and before you know it, the time was 12:03.  I did not ring in the New Year with my son - he went into the city to watch the ball drop with his favorite cousin.  I did ring it in quietly as desired.  I did ring it in with a sense of gratefulness and a spirit of thanks for being allowed to see another year.

I tried to adhere to the Black & White theme - my shoe's said it all, my dress said it too, my neck piece was signature and complimented the event.  Thanks Forever 21 for that last minute find!  Trust me I was ready to give up on trying to find the right accessories.  I like sets, but I don't wear ear rings so If I'm going out - I tend to adorn the neck, wrists and fingers.  My rule,  "simplicity goes a long way" and if I'm trying too hard with anything - I just stop myself right then and there.  Let it go, re-group and be practical with whatever the task is at hand.  Let's go back to what went down at Chef Garfield and DJ Roy's 12th Annual Black & White New Year's Eve Ball.

Well, I arrived minutes to 1AM and surprisingly enough Kris Kapone of Camouflage Sound was doing his thing giving the patrons a medley of hits.  He was doing 90's dancehall when I got there; that's always enjoyable for your dancing feet as well as a quick mental stroll down memory lane if you just feeling liking holding a corner and taking in the sounds or pulling your loved one closer to you and bruk wine :)

I also went into Mink which of course is the other side separate from Mangoville Ballroom.  There I found Pee Wee of Pretty Posse holding it down for the masses who made sure they were there before midnight and those like myself just getting there.  Now Chef Garfield & DJ Roy made sure that the DJ's that they selected for both Mangoville & Club Mink will cater to both older and younger patrons so everyone can "fulljoy" themselves.  I know I just made my Rastafarian brothers & sisters happy just now :)  Anyhoo, I went back and forth between rooms, pretty much like last year and had a good time in both party rooms.

I carried my camera, BUT FORGOT MY SD CARD, so my cam has an internal memory - I'll be sure to ask someone like my brother how to pull pics from the internal memory.  It will be interesting especially since I bought the camera second hand.  So I didn't take lots of pics with my cam & I have yet to figure out the settings on my new phone who decides to use flash whenever it feels like it.  So getting pictures this year didn't work out.

Iriedale.com along with 7days7nights.com where covering the event and there probably were some other social media sites covering the event that I didn't know offhand.  Either way I did see the pics I did take on both sites respectively so New Year's Day was well documented.

Back to the music at about a quarter to 2AM the Music Messiah Glama Wayne hooked up his lap top and did what he came there to do.  He brought the Mangoville patrons on a musical journey from old school classics straight up to new school favorites.  Other DJ's that played were Steelie Bashment, Ricky Genius, I saw Carl B Moxie and to end the night at about 4AM Killa Boo of Addie's International closed out the impressive night of musical memories with a mix of current top charters and well loved reggae classics.  By that time I was getting my coat from coat check but could still here classics from Super Cat and so on.

From my vantage point it appeared that all the couples I saw and singles in attendance had a wonderful time.  It was great to see everyone having a good time.  I have been in "Thankful" mode since a week or so before Thanksgiving and it still stretches within the new year.

Chef Garfield, DJ Roy and their staff put a well planned New Year's Eve Ball that catered to the diversity of our community in age and musical tastes.  I didn't sample the food provided by Genesis 1 Restaurant, but I know it was delectable to the palette.  I eat there all the time :)  Kudos to a successful Black & White Affair!

For 2K14 my wish for you is to be a better you, an accomplished you.  In order to do that it requires you to search your soul.  Don't be afraid of this process; without it you can't move forward in life.  You would remain stagnant - and who wants that?  How do you search your soul?  You have to examine your life, my FIRST suggestion for you is to disconnect/detach all the wires that connect you to this fast paced society we live in.  You MUST TAKE TIME OUT & MEDITATE.  I do self checks every quarter to make sure I'm on top of my game with the goals that I set out for myself.  An individual can really get lost with all of the responsibilities and hats that you wear in life.  YOU MUST MAKE GOD TIME & YOU MUST MAKE ME TIME.  When you do that everything falls into place as it should.  Remember though it's a daily process.  

In order to be a better you - you need inner strength.  You MUST believe in yourself and PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP ON SELF.  Make this year your year!!!  I hit a milestone birthday in December of 2K13 and I'm so excited about my plans for this year and my intent to execute them.  You'll hear about them on this blog, on the radio, via email and various outlets of which I use to get the word out. 

Claim 2K14 to be your year for a better, brighter you!  All the best from all of us at Simply Said Media.
