Mikado's Oct.20
Other than a small slip up with a so-called 'scratch' on our brandnew cd with our set list, The show went alright. There was 100 off and on guest that night and it proved to be a great opportunity to network with some Canadian talent. 10+ acts hit the stage and delivered a slew of different styles and lyrical diversity. After properly hyping the crowd I signaled the DJ, my dude Kurt hit home plate and the people went wild. I dropped a verse on our 'So what' track. Nearing the end is when the mishap-happened. All in all it was a good night. We would of liked to see more local people/friends have come out but there will be many more shows in the future. Special thanks to Shining Starz Tour for letting me get involved. Shout out Kurt Hustle for the Invite! Stay tuned for the next listing!!  |

Good Girls Gone
Why is so hard to find her? I'm talking to the perfect women. A common question, "Why is it so hard to find the right person?" The answer is different for everyone. Good women are hard to find - I believe that is true. Many are already taken. Many are afraid to show themselves because there are so many male nut-jobs out there, and many are just hanging out in places where you are not looking. It may be hard to find one, but it is worth the effort. I'm at a place in life now where Ive stopped looking for a place to hang my underwear, and started to look for a place to hang my hat. I had it at one point and blew it. I think it holds me back. My expectations are higher then they should be. What I do know is that the older I get, the harder it seems to meet credible women. Ask about me, I've never been the type for floozie girls and one night stands. Alot of the misconception is all guys just want to sleep with as many girls as possible. Real men still respect women and treat them with honor. Call me old fashioned, but I'm from the mid eighties and quite possibly the last generation to view women as more than an object.
On that note the 'nice guy finishes last' statement isn't popular for no reason. It holds some merit in my experiences. Don't get me wrong, Ive been the 'bad guy' to most parents of my girlfriends. If looking at my track record, Ive only really dated 5 women in my life and all of them were innocent, suburban good girls. I'm tired of the hunt. I never really was one for the chase to begin with. Maybe I should listen to myself when I say that things that are meant to be will present themselves to you. If you let it cross your path naturally chances are its worth a shot. If anyone else out there is going through a breakup or having trouble finding 'the one', stay vigilant. Don't give up on yourself. Time is limited; emotions are short. Don't spread yourself too thin. Focus on the close relationships you have now. These are the folks who'll stand by your side no matter what. You'll have plenty of time in the coming future to make a new chapter. Remember, Sometimes being solo is wiser than being in a false relationship.

Norfolk Has Talent
Whats good Everyone?!! Lots has been going on in the small county of Norfolk which as of late, doesn't seem so small. I've been lucky enough to get involved in the local theatre as a breakdancing/ movement teacher. The heavy hitters in the Norfolk County Theatre Arts Scene have joined forces to bring Ontario’s South Coast the “talent showcase” of the century.
The project is the brainchild of David Kent, General Director of Simcoe’s Young Theatre Players and longtime fixture of the arts community in Norfolk. Says Kent, “We are lucky to have a very rich arts scene in our county. With five theatres working collaboratively, the outcome will be quite the spectacle. There is so much talent!”
Representing official Grand Champion Sponsor, the Simcoe Reformer, Sue Downs adds, “I’ve always wanted to be involved with a competition like this. The Simcoe Reformer is delighted to be a part of this powerhouse team.” The team includes: Simcoe Little Theatre, Waterford’s Old Town Hall, the Lighthouse Festival Theatre in Port Dover, the Backstage Capitol in Delhi and Simcoe’s Young Theatre Players.
Preliminary auditions will be held at each of the 5 participating theatres over four weekends in September, and will result in a Live Stage Show scheduled for Saturday, October 20th at the Simcoe Composite School Lions Auditorium. “It will be a wonderful opportunity to present various types of talent that might be ‘hidden’ within our County borders,” says Kent. He adds, “Like the reality TV shows, auditions are open to anyone and everyone in Norfolk. All types of talent are welcome!” 32 finalists will be chosen to stage their act in the October show.
The culminating Live Stage Show will not disappoint! Norfolk Has Talent judges are planned to include; Cal Dodd -- a Port Dover native and film and television star -- along with So You Think You Can Dance Canada’s 2011 winner, Jordan Clark and Theo Tams from Coaldale, Alberta winner of the 2008 Canada's Got Talent.
“And here’s a little teaser: We’re adding some exciting elements to the final show, not the least of which is a possible opening performance by a guest celebrity artist!” says Kent. “To keep up to date on all the NHT news, I encourage folks to watch the NHT website, Simcoe Reformer and other local news.”

ACHES OR ACRES
Yes yes y'all! If your life doesn't take turns and twists every once in awhile whats the point of living?! The lessons never stop coming. I've written out all the nessesary woes I needed since the split. I love the therapy one gets from just writing. I've found a bachelor apt. for myself in a quaint town south of Brantford. Im no stranger to the country side of Canada. The town is smaller, and theres a lot less congestion in all aspects. I've lived in the city and also in the country and I like the option to visit both.
I will miss Barrie. I met a lot of great artist and had the opportunity to work with some serious talent. Barrie is a great place for any artist to get his foot in the door. I learned alot about community involvement while there. The green programs and non-profit organizations were a big part of the local studio. I owe alot to everyone that was apart of the movement.
I always make my best music and art in the country. I can make music anywhere I go. Tools and supplies are cheaper here. Kids can run free without getting into too much trouble. Perhaps my biggest attraction is in small communities everyone looks out for every one else. I was only here a day and old friends made me feel right at home. No smog, no construction or sirens or traffic jams. No garbage trucks waking you up at some awful hour. I know where I feel the most at ease.
As far as music goes. I have a few recorded songs still to be mastered. The body of work I promised is still in the recording phase. I will keep you updated as I go. Stay tuned as usual!! and remember, if you don't like something in your life, then change it.
Thanks Emcees/Producers: Travis Prout, Mindset, Victor Horvath, Absent minded, Spenny, F.O.E, Pokitz, Savvy C, Crooks, Brad Ex, Stinabomb, Diem, Jason Hunter, Jordi La Forty, Sage and any other artists that stuck to the skriptz. Ill be back to visit!
Sincerely, Skripture

TABLE FOR ONE.
Freedom and independence. These are just two words that come along with being single. To officially clear the air, yes; the rumors are true.
Love is a fickle thing. I cant remember the last time I truly felt single, its as if the ultimate goal in life is to pair up with another human being and cling to that ideal as if your life depends on it. The truth is, I'm a stickler for companionship. I sometimes see myself as an extreme loner, but I've always needed the touch of a women, or the natural guidance they provide. The older I get the less social I've become. Friends are far and few, and I've become an introvert. I suppose this would be a great time to nurture my extroverted side, but when you've been so used to having Someone close, optimism is harder to come by. Half of me is looking forward to the finacial gain and the lost search for who I am. The other half, wretched in forlornness.
I'm writing this blog entry not only to update everyone, but also to speak to the single people out there who may feel alone. You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose.
Special Thanks to Everyone who have stuck with me, and continually supported my art. Without you guys I would have giving up a long time ago. I promise to have a body of work for you very soon.
