We really don't have anything better to do, do we?

It's ridiculous.

For the past week or so, I have been bombarded by opinions, spiteful statuses and raw, unforgiving criticism of one of our representatives in a world competition. Now, poor Anya Ayoung-Chee has to deal with this bullshit because of a HUMAN ERROR in judgment. To me, it's high time we stop with the foolishness, get on with our own lives and mind our own damned business.

Okay, so she made a tape with her loved one and didn't have the foresight to save it elsewhere so that it wouldn't slip into the hands of the idle. For that matter, neither did her loved one. Does that give you the right to continuously fuck her up, in the letters section of the newspapers, on the call-in programmes on the radio, in your stupid statuses in Facebook and other social sites? Hasn't it occurred to you that the world is watching, not only her, but how we are collectively ostracising her after we supported her to the end of her competition?

And some of us who are rinsing our mouths on her are no better than her. You may not have been caught yet, but my granny has a saying: "What eh meet yuh yet eh pass yuh." In other words, your day will soon come. Pelt no stones while laughing in your glass castles. So she made a sex tape, for her own personal use, and it slipped because some idle jackass copied and pasted when he was supposed to be fixing the PC. Big deal! Why allyuh eh cuss out de technicians who put her business-HER BUSINESS!-on the streets like that, after all that she has done for us, and continues to do? Hypocritical bunch of fools...allyuh do de same thing to Wendy Fitzwilliam and Dwight Yorke, and now allyuh eh sayin nutten after Yorke launched his book?

Besides, she is living her life still. Her degrees, awards, clothing line etc. are all doing wonders for her. But you small-minded cunts are all on her facebook page, joining just for the sole purpose of laughing and running your nasty mouths on her. Fuck allyuh, dread! Leave the woman alone, she earned her rightful place in this country by the majority of her actions, and now for one slip in human judgment allyuh want her to drop down and dead? None of you could ever dream to accomplish what she has, simply because you are too caught up in other people's business to begin to fix your own!

My job...job? Ha!

It's 1:36am and I'm still in work. Lovin it because my work is my love, and my life. I test PHIs, and it's a beautiful thing to me. For me, anything that can help me to get further in my music is a blessing from God Almighty. It's like good gold, mated with that 500 carat diamond found recently.

What's a PHI, you may ask? For those of you who are familiar with the steelpan, indigenous to Trinidad & Tobago, the PHI is the digital version of the steelpan. The PHI, an acronym for Percussive Harmonic Instrument, gives the pan player access to all the possibilities that the electronic keyboard gave, and still gives, to the pianist. It's a synthesizer, using MIDI Musical Instrument Digital Interface) in the same way a keyboard does to allow the pan enthusiast to experiment with different tones. Hence, after years of wondering how a certain steelpan lick would sound in a trumpet's tone, one is finally able to try it out even if one doesn't know how to handle a trumpet. What I really love is the fact that it's been invented in the same country of it's ancestor, almost a full century later. And we have the bragging rights of patent to prove it. More information can be obtained about the PHI and its creators on their website, http://www.panadigm.com and at their facebook fan page.

My job is to test the PHIs and make sure they work properly for the market and the performers we loan them to on trial. I also write my music and record with it; so far I have worked with many young wonderful musicians and the collaborations are off the hook. Look out for some of them online soon. Time to get back to work...

I out.

Seriously...

I think I'll be doing this music thing on my own. Advice from the big fish is cool, whoever and whatever they be. But I don't wan to be tainted by anyone's occult belief. For we all know that folks get classed, sometimes truthfully and sometimes unfairly, simply by association. I believe that the blood of my Saviour is strong enough to shield me from their evil ways, but I will not let my career fail because I was seen talking to someone in the music business with alleged ties to the occult. By God's grace, I can and will make it...and I don't believe I need a Freemason's help to get there. For more information, google John Todd.

I out.

My music is coming online

Presently I am working on material soon to be released online and on air. There is no fixed genre, just pure vibes and messages. Listen to the lyrics while moving your feet and humming the melodies. I'll keep you posted; in the meantime keep http://www.myspace.com/ghostmantioli in your heads...that's where it all comes loose.

Blessed love.
