It’s not like we are going to start floating on air or feel anew form the waters that we drink... Listen its all just the same old vibe Happy New Year to all that I have to respect because some have lived not to see this day.
I guess I can speak out loud on that one, but hey that’s how the remote is being controlled by the almighty. I am happy to be here and still have aspiration let alone hopes to make a difference in life and to those that will cross my path.
Life is something valuable but we really don’t have to fear loosing it, if it happens to come one's way just look at it as another phase of your life. What better thing to do live or be in the unknown?
I know that I have so many endeavors to accomplish this coming year, this stemming from the move I am about to take, yes its happening I can believe it. I will knock in all the doors until I have what I want; it’s been a long time coming. Mind that this is not a resolution but what has been on the pipeline for a very long time.
God, Allah, Jah, Buddha or whoever you believe in May they watch over us and looking forward to a blessed and hard but fun year. All the best till that time we are going to run for our lives because the government is out there to control us.
Jah Bless

"Amawaza"in
There comes a time when one wonders as to how people use their placebo, I don’t know if "use" is the right word. I do believe that Placebo is what we have in our brains. Anyway the bottom line is that as fucked up as it may one still is surprised by the infuriating mentality of human kind.
I know that I do add up to that % of human kind, but guess what, I refuse to fall victim of circumstances. Its just pure ignorance man!!! One might wonder what I am fussing about. It’s not really a fuss but a summary of what goes through the day of Natty's life.
Remember I tend to aware myself of instances, by doing so stepping away from all those fucked booby-traps. I just can’t stand people who don’t use their brains; one might as well have a chicken brain, that’s what my grandmother will. Why? Because when a hen is searching for food, it scraps it backwards covering it with more soil.
I understand that as people we are different, but fuck that we have the same mindset but just choose to be fuckin different for no apparent reason. I don’t condone differences, but when it comes to common sense please you can’t justify that bullshit.

People come on, i mean whay all this hate.....you will never gain anything form all this spite. I never thought i will be writting such a hurtful blog anytime soon. Thats not to say i was not going to!!!!
Anyway i just dont seem to understand whay the human species is so full of hate, jeulousy to name a few. Why cant we for once if not always be appreciative of the positive and cast away that damn negativity.
The fact that as people we will always focus on the down fall of the next man, thats lame! right there. I will never ever have thougfht that some people will look at degrading poor souls who are just trying and doing what they feel makes them humanly.
Know what let bygones be!!! I will leave this blog as it is, by this i mean i will not correct any grammar or spelling, thats by choice. I wish these haters will read my blog sometime.
Hey Elsie what going on, will be seeing you soon, Khatiti whats up hope all is well with you too. Be blessed.

Africa mourns"
I was not aware not because of ignorance, but due to the frantic state I have been lately. I am applying for jobs here and there still practicing my massages on the side, not to mention teaching at the Juvenile system.
Not only is South Africa missing the sweet melodic voice that echoed the 50's and 60's, The presence, respect above all her dignity. It was brought to my awareness today should I say an hour ago. News that Miriam Makeba passed away, yes it’s sad for us as fans and dedicated listeners. I am sure it’s more than a loss to her family, let alone the legacy she held.
Miriam Makeba is one of the first ladies that brought South African traditional music to the western hemisphere. Through working with the likes of Belafonte she managed to cross shores to other parts of Africa and Europe. Her music was not only smooth to listen to, but it carried courage and hope. See she moved from SA due to apartheid, while in exile her passport was revoked by the South African government of that time, later on to have her citizenship revoked. Neither any of these events shatter her down, she fought her case all the way to the UN courts.
Can you imagine that she had 10 honorary citizenships, this just show how much of an impact she was to the countries she lived and work with. She was not only a musician but an ambassador, fought for the human rights, freedom and the right to be heard as a woman.
Miriam Makeba died while performing in Italy yesterday, how special is that?, I know its death but die doing what you love. That’s what I call a peaceful death, coincidence of it all she was performing in protest of the Italian Mafias who are killing and disturbing peace in a town in Italy. So she was invited specially in Italy, after having sung one of her famous songs 'pata pata' she passed out. They managed to get her to the hospital after doctors having failed to bring her back. She finally gained consciousness and was then given some medicine unfortunately it was the time and day for her to go. She passed out again this time forever.
I feel blessed why? I performed with Miriam Makeba at one of the shows that she organized to honor Dorothy Masuka, another veteran of traditional African music. This was in 2001 two weeks before I left for London to study at the Place. The likes of Hugh Masekela were part of the show just to name a few.
This is what I call true death, not what happened to Lucky Dube who was shot by stupid fuckheads for his car.
May your soul rest in peace and your music will forever change the world" I wish I die the same way as her die during a dance performance thats what I call a special death.

Allow history to take place"
Can anyone think of any reason why there is such a humongous group of people who are denying the Democratic win? the fact being whats there to hate about? The bottom line is that you are still stuck in America, off-course if you want to vent your anger of denial move to another continent.
It’s actually the best solution, instead of giving us your mean looks, attitude let alone vibes. I am going soft on this one because I know that there is a lot to vent from this presidential win. I am happy that change has been done and I am sure it will continue for as long as there are people who want to make that change to happen.
If I was writing on paper I would have said “I pen off". Seeing that I am typing I guess I will say I "finger off" That sounds a bit off key but who is to tell me what to write, I am practicing my moral liberal rights.

Happiness"
If only we can explain the word happiness" the same way the dictionary does, I figure it will make and mean a difference even to the blind man. Actually the blind man is probably the happiest man alive, regardless of wealth and all that shit!! They don’t see all this madness.
Right now I am going to flip on and off as I want to write this page based on what my two fellow friends have commented on previously. Those were two heavy comments Khatiti and Elsie.
Khatiti wrote: "I can constantly be reminded that there are people out there that have knowledge other than what the "so-called history books" teach us".
Natty: My point here will be simple the world is fuelled by what one person thinks and believes. For the mere fact that they had the ability and authority to amend that system of making people absorb someone else's knowledge is by far the most dangerous thing. I do believe in reading, do not get me wrong but the question is what are we reading? As people we tend to divert from reading very educational sources that have been written by people of our own speciesand creed.
I will not obligate anyone to read what I read, but my question is is how many whites, Asians and Latinos read what black man write? The percentage is very little, only those that are open minded because they diversify their being and world. Most people of colour read information that satisfies the materialistic world? All the shit that Hollywood portrays and need I say that they have found a market in us believe me you..
So backing off to your statement it’s true that there is good a bunch of people that are knowledgeable because of what they believe and what they read. You are one of those smart people, because you have a very dense and immense vocabulary. Which I know will save and build your empire.
Elsie you wrote "I am always thinking of the future and what I am going to be. But...I forget the present. In the past days, I am appreciating the present. I am seeing my blessings.
Natty: Its a true statement that you mentioned right there Elsie, we are so easily taken by the notion of what is going to, or what we want to happen in 5-10 years time. I am victim of that circumstance myself. But I will confess that I try not do but try by all means to rechannel myself away from that mentality. You see it’s easy to live in the future, guess what that’s a safe haven for us when we want to get away from what is bothering us at present. So to avoid dealing with the present we take a mind cruise to some distant land. The question will be does that help? us not at all.
With that said it all depends on how we venture ourselves into the future without having to get stuck there and forever. I guess as for you Elsie I really appreciate your courage, its rare that you will find a young black woman who is doing what you have put yourself in. This is what I call determination and courage. You are a strong person and I know that the thought might have crossed your mind at times, asking yourself question like what you are doing there in SA, Did I make the right move etc, etc. This might imply to you too Khatiti because you have made that choice to be on your own and live your life based on what your dependence urges you.
Khatiti wrote:
Oppression is a funny word because as I have come to learn is only classified with a certain context of people, but when one truly sits to think about it and understand it, so many people are oppressed in so many different ways, and it’s truly unbelievable
Natty: Yes oppression does exist, for me it’s like an infection need I say like malignant cancer. Oppression is like that because it takes away the victim's dignity, pride, joy and happiness. To an extent that even when that victim is free or away from oppression they don’t realize it. Their life is already being remote controlled. That’s how fucked up this system is controlling us. I know this first hand from living and being a South African, overall these experiences have made me strong. The point being that I rebelled and choose not to be part of the number. I hate what I saw growing up seeing my parents being treated like scumbags.
Elsie: One of my blessings is reading your blog postings. It reassured of living in the present. A new day......"
Natty: Thanks Elsie I know that this blog has more to me than I ever thought. I have seen a change in my writing, vocabulary, and understanding above all being able to interpret what others put on my blog. I have a deeper interest in wanting to find what ticks and inspires Natty. Thank you and continue to support I know that there will be a line or two that will emanate change and enlightment in your day to day.
So now back to happiness? Does any of what I have written above link to happiness maybe? To sum this joint I will say " Lest be open to other things in life, allow our horizon to be challenged by situations. Through such only will we know what makes a being to be happy"? I know that my statement might be bit weak in someway or the other, Like Stevie wonder said " So what the fuss"
My dad never spoke about happiness not as far as I can remember, you want to know why? because he practiced happiness everyday of his life, I get teary every time I write a line or two about my dad. He meant a world and more to me as well as my siblings, I know being the eldest at one time he said to me, "Natty you are now the father of this whole life, your siblings will look up to you, just as much as you have trust and faith in them, I know that your presence will shade a sigh of relief and give them a sense of protection". Tell me those are not deep words? I live my life based on my experiences blending that with what my dad taught or showed me. Out of that I create a sculpture and collage my thoughts to get a masterpiece of life which I and only I can buy.
Once again reading is vital because you want to know where you are coming and going, living the present is more than fun, because you don’t want to miss the best of that present time. Oppression is there but we don’t want to allow it to control us, we have the power to change all this madness regardless of power they have over you or me, the destiny we set is ours. Sharing knowledge is one of the best pieces a man can ever have; I mean true information not some fuzzy, superficial nonsense. I have deep respect for people who seek their happiness based on true love, joy, liberality and most of all conscious thinking.

Today was one of the best days not in my life off-course. I have had better and finer days. Anyway what made this day so different was because of the energy i got back from my students.
See now i teach at the Department of Juvenile Justice, now you talking about off the chain kids.

A new day"
I like the topic that I am about to vent about....But before that yes its true Khatiti that we venture in our lives destiny being happiness. But the question will always linger in my head, "Do we ever achieve that happiness? Guess at the most of cases it depends as to what we call happiness!!
I will not dwell into that as it’s a very likely topic for another day and chapter. I am now going to be so sweet and short about the above topic.
I walk outside and all I hear is people talking about freedom, they are sitting all I see is smiles, they are driving guess what they are flipping giving way and being all good and nice. This is something that ticks me right there>
I hope you understand by now where I am going with this? Why wait until there is something historic on land to change the people's attitude? Does is really take a phenomenal or drastic change to make people come as one? As far as I am concerned that BS!!!! Regardless what the greatest of politicians might say, we are all people and this statement has been said over and over again.
If you look back you ask yourself why in the world did people make things hard for themselves by allowing the skin and political parties to separate them?.....I love all my white friends, Mexicans, Europeans Asians. I have never seen color not even at one time only when I am giving a description of that particular person. Now the big question is for those that still believe that they live in a planet of their own, by refusing to kick differences, I have 3 words for you "You are lost".
This life is so simple and beautiful, I do complain at times but later during the day I ask myself what is it that I am whining about? I have access to work , buy what ever I need not want, I am able to travel the seas let alone mingle with friends who I a choose. Some kid or youth in some next country does not even have an extra boxer to wear. I am making an example by a simple merely underwear. I have my shelf full of socks, boxers and T-shirts. Writing about this makes me angry because as people we so fuckin spoilt.
Some kids can’t even enjoy a simple sip of coca-cola, good thing they don’t or can’t afford it, better for them as that’s the last thing they need to consume. But I guess at one time as people we will learn to know the difference between Need and Want!!!!!
I have said time and time again that I am no Saint but guess what the choices I make have kept me at easy, I know that by avoiding things that are not worthy in my life I am eradicating all the nonsense not to mention stress.
I live life by the day and never compromise my happiness for some next man, I truly believe that they never think of some next mans feelings, why because the word Sorry is over rated. I am Natty and for me everyday is a new day, despite the hardships that it might bring me take all with consideration not putting my brain to overwork.
I am the mirror of myself an image that portrays my Dad, a hero in my life and as well as my siblings. Rock to my mother, I know that if this body of mine retires form this earth I will leave a symbol to those that have known me and understood who iam. Its a pity as its a few that know who Natty is, as always I will never convince one to know me, one that I do is know who I am dealing with be it a friend or who ever. This allows me to know their vocabulary, as this will allow me to speak their language that makes them understand me. But on that note I will not compromise my dignity by allowing them to toss me and think that I will do whatever they want me to do.
Hence the reason I eliminate people that don’t care if one chooses to distance and never make any contact that’s cool, but know that with time the name in my brain fades off. I know as people we are busy but why are we so hectic its a choice, regardless how busy one can be they still have time to communicate. Instead guess what they will rather watch TV.
I know that everyday is a new day!!! Barack Obama has brought light to many!!!!

It can happen"
power of mind and the rhyme of words from one's mouth can and will lure you to understanding let alone believe that there is good ahead.
This is different with Obama, Y? In many ways......I am not that much of a politician but the little information I have and understand sure does get me far. I know I can converse with the very die hard politicians to a certain level.
Anyway my analogy will always vary from A, B & C let alone Z, I do believe that Obama will help bring hope to people. That’s what any citizen needs be it in Asia, Europe or Africa the leader has to instill belief and trust in his people. If the people are floating and not sure where they are going or coming, it already sends negative vibes. People will always be skeptical of the future.....For example McCain only delivered what I will call a master piece speech after the loss.
Anyway my point being that Obama might not fulfill everybody by being in the White house, there has to be time for him and his family to adjust and getting that feel of the white house as well as the ownership. But I know that as people we will be out there rationalizing the man for not doing 1 2 & 3 if not 4.
Anyway my whole point is that it can happen if you want it to happen, I can’t is a messed word that has corroded people's mind. Even made them believe that things can’t happen and we then tend to turn our backs form the good things just because we want to get it easy.

This is different with Obama, Y? In many ways......I am not that much of a politician but the little information I have and understand sure does get me far. I know I can converse with the very die hard politicians to a certain level.
Anyway my analogy will always vary from A, B & C let alone Z, I do believe that Obama will help bring hope to people. That’s what any citizen needs be it in Asia, Europe or Africa the leader has to instill belief and trust in his people. If the people are floating and not sure where they are going or coming, it already sends negative vibes. People will always be skeptical of the future.....For example McCain only delivered what I will call a master piece speech after the loss.
Anyway my point being that Obama might not fulfill everybody by being in the White house, there has to be time for him and his family to adjust and getting that feel of the white house as well as the ownership. But I know that as people we will be out there rationalizing the man for not doing 1 2 & 3 if not 4.
Anyway my whole point is that it can happen if you want it to happen, I can’t is a messed word that has corroded people's mind. Even made them believe that things can’t happen and we then tend to turn our backs form the good things just because we want to get it easy.
Life is more fun with hard work earned.

Who is stupid?
I like what you said Khatiti on your comment that they make all the food and put all the killer colorings, they unsaturate all the oils, deep frying above all carbonize all the sodas. But "Who is stupid?”
Off course we as people we are the lost species, especially us people of color, we have been biased form the word go, regardless what some next man might sat about my statement. The idea of coming out of your house, get on the car drive to the nearby fast food franchise to buy food, this because your lazy ass is just not into cooking. That sucks big time, off course someone has to earn a living that is the employees of all these chain stores.
But how are they earning their money on, someone else's life and healthy....Now check this they have the right to do what ever they want , but we also have the right to choose what is right for our bodies. I will not convince anyone to stop eating all the Anabolic foods, who am I? Off course I am just Natty. I love the fact that I know what is good for me and even though I might not always be right. A percentage of you out there will agree with me on that note. We want to have a simple life that revolves around doing what is best for our day to day lives.
I can even recall when was the last time I went to a KFC, Bojangles, Chick'fille or any of these joints. If someone asks a favor form me to get them something from the fast food I will do so. The side effects of all the Anabolic is so severe in a long run, think of why people suffer form Diabetes, Cancer, Heart failures this is just to name a few of the conditions that are wiping America, of cause other continents that have taken lead to eating out have fallen victims to the conditions.
Anyway people I am just a devils advocate now, why I have seen a few people that have been in these conditions and realized while it was early some have actually pulled off even at the verge of loosing their lives. Guess what all it takes is changing your lifestyle. Why not treasure your own body but will rather have that car shining and filled up will all the gadgets, off-course it will at the end of the day be parked there on your drive way while your body decays six feet under ground.
I must say I have chosen this path for myself, like I said the last time "what works for me, might be some next mans poison". I exercise to my capability, mind you that I am not fat neither am I skinny, but just a regular body size.....So what I am doing is keeping the main engine serviced, that is my internals as well as my mind. As for the appearance it will come as second nature, if I feel good inside!!!!Why should I care what people say about my image.
Know it to feel, I refuse to fall victim to this unscrupulous system, this goes all the way to the pharmaceuticals, I don’t take a single drug. I mean zilch, Nada, zero. All the remedies I take for pain or coughs head aches or constipation its either Apple cider vinegar or natural remedies like Echinacea, Tea tree oil to name a few. Because these natural remedies they not only treat one condition but they end up treating the whole body making sure that the cell and tissues are clear of any harm that might bring the immune system down.
Anyway its all about choice, I love cooking at home and will always love it.....I might not be the best in the kitchen but tell you what I savor the food I cook because I take my time and think of what its effect will be in me. WATER the best juice ever made....

My 3 special American students'
Having read my ex-students blog I feel this sigh of good relief.....Y? I now know that not only is she grown but she has come understand the virtualities of life and accepted the realities that life brings to her daily existence.
See I have three students that I am mentoring at present, let me put it this way these three students will always hold a special place in my heart. All because of their courage and risk they decided to take in their life. They specifically came to me and asked me if i would be their mentor. That is more than a honour to have someone look up to you and believe that you will help them to achieve their dream. Which i am happy to be part of their dream making, even though they know that they themselves have the hardest but fun work to get there.
It’s never easy for anyone to up and live to another state let alone country, talking about continent. This is what these entire three students did; I choose to retain their names as I know that they know themselves. They are at present working and doing more that good in both dancing and social lives. I never leave that aspect of socializing out Y? It’s a fundamental tool that can either make you or destroy a being.
My presence has paid dividends to many students alike, hence the reason I consider myself a global citizen regardless the BS! You see the system labels me every time I go out and in of the country/ies. You don’t f**kin scare me immigration, have every right to be where ever I want to be, its my democratic and demographic right.
I pray for you gals that you grow and become women and artist that you want to be in life it’s not easy but through perseverance it will happen.At present one is in New York, other one in DC and third one is in South Afica

Its a wonder"
I just have been noticing some very interesting changes in my body , persona and above all my day to day life.
As a matter of fact i am still trying to put a finger as to what and how its happening. The good part of it is that all of the above is good positive changes. I feel good in me with all of it. Maybe its the jogging that i do. Yeah i run for an hour every three days of the week, i just love the feel of being outside.
Pitty where i live you hardly find an black people running or walkin outside to exercise their bodies. Well let there be a sunny day, tell you what you will find them at the Lake with their barbacue stands. That just shows the choices we take as people.
Does that phase me hell no!! i do my thing out there and by the end of the week i feel good and i will not let any individual low me on that. I have stopped taking all carbonated drinks if i have to go on the reason it will sure take 3 pages or so. Lets just say that shit! is not healthy. Well its been over a year going two years since i stopped consuming sodas, milk,eggs,cheese,orange juices unless its pure . When i say pure its got to be natural pure!!!
Its choices that we make as people that either give us good healthy life or kill us, we are what we eat. I know that this all works for Natty, might not be a thing for some next man.
I am happy at heart though i do go through those phases of missing my dad, i have a special place in my heart for my old man. I wish i could reverse the time that way i could tell him or talk to him on some different level. I learnt and will always learn through memory.
I am what i am because of what i believe, i will not fall for some cheezy shit at the expense of my intergrity.

"Realisation"
It's a wow to the mind and body after having gone through a deep phase of my life, i now see life and things from a very deep and obscure perspective.
Checking the everyday things, how people do, take, give,and void intrigues and stimulates a deeper thought in me. Why am i saying all of this? While in South Africa this past three weeks i was in the company of people that i love yes!!!! respect no doubt!! above all very intellectual. I mean the likes of my siblings who are forever conceptualising and finding the simpler and finer ways of living. I have much love for all my siblings despite the distance between us, everytime we come together that tranquility prevails.
They have fear for the Almighty, knowing that what they do is provided by him. They are thankful for what is theirs without having to obligarate their own intergrity on things that are not worth possesing. What is treasure to them is life and that happy healthy smile.
Then there is my brothers from my other mother, oh what can i say about these brothers??? Smart is an understatement word, the guys they turn a bark of a tree into a pencil without having to process it. Thats how they revolve their world. Its something that i can not even describe on this blog......All i know is that sitting with them you realise that what you thought you new is really nothing, well let me say this " sitting at that balcony which i am glad to have been part of during its launch 2 weeks ago in Melville, Johannesburg. Anyway the sitting alone pops up topics that are very general. But the end of the day the topics will have been scutinised and flossed not to mention giving a different look to what the topic meant before".
Now at this culture of Balcony you not only get educated but you are given the will power to converse. Thats what is lacking with most of us people that conversational will power. Its not that people are shy or secluxive, they just dont know what to say or respond about. The whole idea is to be open minded as nothing is kicked to the curb at this culture. Well let me say the Milk Stout goes well with these kind of talks, as for my sister Themsa she will take her Heineken. I have great respect for this lady. Very wise and when she talks you hear pride, confindece. The brothers i am talking about are Thembinkosi and Lindani.
Off course along the way i got to meet my Xhosa ital brethren Mzi! that brother speaks with eloqunce. I miss home right now i must say!!!!!. Hence the reason i never wanted to come back this time through. Now you see there is a missing link to the above two paragraphs......Mandla he was one person missing in this trip.
What i know is that the passing of my dad brought a whole new image and persona. He will always be missed this i know. Now i know that our hearts will be at ease knowing that he is no longer in pain.
I will pen off right here, even though i can still write and write.

"As i live"
Its been 7 days since we laid our dad to rest, as comforting as it might be that he is finally rested. The pain is much deep and cutting more than watching him deal with pain.
I never thought that the death of my father will create a change in my life, let alone the attitude. I have been waking up each day to face the reality of accepting death as natural a phenom as it can be. I sit and wonder what exactly was my dad thinking during those last minutes and seconds of his last breath??
I was never there to hear him tell me what he felt or what he wanted me to do, off-course he will have said "take care of your siblings".He cared so much about his kids never wanted anything to come or put sunder the bond created by his DNA.
Dad was one atticulate man, i have always and will put forth the knowledge he instilled in my mind and brain. One thing i miss hearing is my dad's eloqute english, he spoke english that was not only crisp but even hard for an english man to understand. He wrote journals for as long as i can remember, it has taken me time to understand some of the information due to the vocabulary, since i am his blood its come easy to break it down.All i am saying is that he was very learned!!!
I miss him more than i miss myself, he made this change pos sible for me and without his loving support i sure will not have gone and be where i am . May i grow to be like my dad, i know that i am not the only one who has lost parents, that sure make me no different to some next man. Guess what its all perceived and individualised per-person.I am my dad's son and will always protect my son and siblings from any harms way.

"wow"
Its a thing called life, yes thats what we call it.....What really is it comprised of, many things attribute to the thing called life.
As people we cry to live, work hard to live, eat healthy to live as well as connect with higher beings for pure livity. Unfortunately all good things come to and end, whether one is a Donald Trump or a homeless person out there in the streets they all have somethin to treasure about their life. They longfor a day/s that they work up and do something, when faced by predicaments they wish they could die! and guess what? when faced with that death curse...What do they do they pray so hard that God or to help them through.
Now you see that there is fear right in their lives, but do we need to be afraid or embrace this thing called death. Now the question is why are we this very,very afraid,.......is it cause we will miss all the good things life has been offering or just the fact that one is going to an ertenal coma, death,sleep whatever we might call it.
Anyway i am and always have been reseraching what and how i think it feels to be on the other side of life. The twist to this is that i have to get in that zone and materialise the whole thing. Scary i know but thats how as artist we do this joint.

Fear not"
I guess today i am writting from my own point of view that is based on what has been controlling and invigorating my soul....By saying i am writting from my point of view i am basical saying what has been going down lately.
Well first off which is fascinating, i performed for a group of speacil needs kids this past week, it was one of those magical shows for them. In turn it did touch and break my heart. Some of them are bound to the wheelchair, some are blind but all of this did not derter their excitement at all.
The show was based on masks, wearing these beautiful Bali, Indonesian and Chinese handcrafted arts. It just made me realise that there is a lot more in store in the arts than i ever thought.
Anyway....Sigh!!!! I am in a cross road at this juncture, i seem to be accepting offers left right and center, well not realising that i am leaving myself no time to think or decide which project is going to be good or give me time to find and contort myself in my own world.
I have at least 3-4 dance projects that i am supposed to accomplish, thats excluding the international tours ahead. For those that know me i have always and will forever be thrilled by being somewhere and living life with the natives.
Anyway i have been contemplating the creation of my last section of the trilogy "Still feel the presence'. This has been by far the most selling and toured piece ever. I am happy about the revies that its been getting out there.
The end part is going to be dark which i might not be able to stand the fear of , i mean just by thinking about it rather running the piece in my head i get a trickle of fear down my spine. I stand for challenges and i will not back of this idea.
I have come a long way during and within that time i have grown, appreciatted,met,fought,missed friends, lost loved ones,above all i have come to fear my thinking capacity. All of this is better journaled through dance, i do write but the feeling is always different.What more better way to teach and show at the same time. This past August marked the 1 year death mark for my beloved friend , she was dear and very sincere at heart. I dont recall anyone saying or doing anything bad to her, she was a giver and above all an Angel. Federica Mazzi you will always be missed my friend. I will always hold a space in my heart. Beautiful dancer she was, i am telling you she just ripped that stage and owned it at the same time with grace.
Well my Mother who has been long gone will never flash away form my eyes, the presence is so strong, my dad who is ailing down has beeen the pillar always i will never even a single moment forget about all the good he has done and i know tha he wil continue to show and provide the love.
Thats and this is where i get my inspiration,mind you iam the only artist in my line of family, i have over the past 9-10 years involved and bestowed my humble respect for my works as well as works by fellow collaborators. I will fear not to dwell and search for a place for myself in this dance...I am an Artist not a dancer.
I create i dont duplicate, i envision i dont blues, i make whats worth seeing be tangible not lucid.

Dreams"
What am i wanting to achieve? Is there anything to avhieve? One might think that i am negative one way or the other. Guess what its more the way i operate.....Do we achieve dreams or reality?
If i have this thought in my mind and it happens that one day a scenario thats very much like it become sureal, does that make it a dream come true or a coincidence. Is that why sometimes people say they had/have a dejavu?...........
I have had dreams that i felt were a perfect fit to my day to day realities, guess what none of them ever came to produce anything tangible. Off course i have to chase that particular dream for it to come to existance.
Maybe i was too blind to notice the practicality of the dream, i am not saying that we can not achieve from the dreams, but it depends on what type and time of dreams we have. They say " American dreams come true". I have yet to wait and see that...Having been here in the states for the past 4 years i have not heard anyone come up and say guess what i dreamt i had a car and i found one parked by my drive way in the morning. What ecxatly does the statement imply?
I believe in hard labour, yes some of you wil say you do it because you are used to working hard, thats based on where you come from. Its ok to get things come your way just like that, i most cases the one who works the most for their dividends feels pride the most.
Lets keep our dreams alive and hopefully we will achieve what we want in our lives, I know i have a lot to get from this life so do you, you,you and you. I know that we are living in a remote controlled world. But that does not deter or deminish what we aspire for.
Well i am yet to see what is really in store for me in this in this crazy Babylon.

If i have this thought in my mind and it happens that one day a scenario thats very much like it become sureal, does that make it a dream come true or a coincidence. Is that why sometimes people say they had/have a dejavu?...........
I have had dreams that i felt were a perfect fit to my day to day realities, guess what none of them ever came to produce anything tangible. Off course i have to chase that particular dream for it to come to existance.
Maybe i was too blind to notice the practicality of the dream, i am not saying that we can not achieve from the dreams, but it depends on what type and time of dreams we have. They say " American dreams come true". I have yet to wait and see that...Having been here in the states for the past 4 years i have not heard anyone come up and say guess what i dreamt i had a car and i found one parked by my drive way in the morning. What ecxatly does the statement imply?
I believe in hard labour, yes some of you wil say you do it because you are used to working hard, thats based on where you come from. Its ok to get things come your way just like that, i most cases the one who works the most for their dividends feels pride the most.
Lets keep our dreams alive and hopefully we will achieve what we want in our lives, I know i have a lot to get from this life so do you, you,you and you. I know that we are living in a remote controlled world. But that does not deter or deminish what we aspire for.
Well i am yet to see what is really in store for me in this in this crazy Babylon.

I am who i am
I am what i am because of what i believe in, i do things the way i do cause thats how they prcticalise to my existance. I will not want to be somebody or lust for someone else's life. Yes they say we have role models that we look up to.....
Guess what i am my own true role model after my Dad....I dont have to look out side my own entity for guidance of my own destiny. I dont have a problem with individuals who seek some next man's guide, if thats what makes their world tick so be it.
I am saying this because i want to hold myself in contempt, thats if i stumble and fall. This way i dont have to blame some next man for making me do things and try to live life like they do. Do you understand my point or is it just vague to you too....
I know that there is people out there who are looking at what i do and say, i wish i was him, or i wish i could be blah,blah!!! now there is a difference between envy and wanting to be a clone.
Need i say that there is a good bunch of people out there that i admire, not only because of their work but because of their courage and strength to be who they are.
So i will always be who i am and will want to be me , whether i have money or not i will be myself.

Sittin here!
I never thought need i say imagined i will have to endure such a complicated and frustrating feel. It makes me cringe just thinking about it, let alone hate the moment and time .
What am i fussing about???? Yes you might ask yourself as i really dont see the reason why i am whining about this whole ish. Enough suspense, well i am tryin to get rid of my present auto mobile, the fact that its still new and i have to part with it is not of any concern for me right now. I just want to get my life straight as far as dealing with material tings.
I used to have a very good and great VW jetta it was one of the best cars i have ever owned need i say first, see having lived in Europe the only mode of transport that i had a say over was my mountain bike. Yes it kept me fit and strong, then moved over to the states tell you it was like a curse or slap on my face.
Having to resort to cars as far as moving from point A-B, it sure does suck....i feel it takes away the moment to enjoy and be in close proximity with other people, despite the phobia that some people have we can not use it as an excuse. Buses, trains are the best way to meet new friends, but it all seems so vain in some parts of the US.
Dont get me wrong i am not condoning the mode but i just seem not fit in, hence the reason why i walk or cycle while here in SC. Off-course i have to drive to further and distant destinations. Its all about choice i will say!!!!
Anyway until someone who is somebody buys my car i will be the happiest Natty in life, well i will get me my VW as its the only car i feel in connection with.
Hope all the best for all and go out and vote, bring that change in America..

Still here!!
Good evening this morning? it sure has been some time since i last logged in. Due to the fact that i have been busy tyring to connect and implement certain strategies to my Massage Practice. By the way for those of you that still dont know Natty is now a certified LMT, i have yet have started practicing which i must say its been a joy and fullfillment in some level or the other.
I am at this point getting to grips with establishing a regular clientele, probably one of the hardest and rewarding tasks in a long run. Well what am i expecting from this new found adventure? Hope to help and save fellow habitants of this earth. Well as far as people are concerned they will rather go to a doctor who will prescribe them some expensive drugs which in a long run will cause side effects later needing the individual to a state where they have to take more phamaceuticals to treat the side effects caused by the primary drug.
Dont get me wrong on my perception, i respect the intelligency and knowledge of the MD's certainly without them some of the acute and chronic conditions will come and go unnoticed they serve a purpose and lives. But i do believe that as people we have strayed from our basic from of lifestyle, by so doing making it easy for our bodies weaken and unable to fight certain pathogens, bacterias, infections etc.
Massage has been around for 1000's of years, it has been proven despite the fact that science argues that it serves the same purpose as western even more than what the doctor will prescribe. Now the bottom line to this whole issue is based on individuality, as people we choose what works for our convinience, lest i say that the choices we sometimes choose they pin us in the corner and for us to come out from the corner, hey its at our expense. Lame!!!!!
Anyway i am intending to futher my knowledge in Holistic medicine, which i must say i have been learning practically through one of the pratictioners here in the states. I figure that in a long run what i am doing will be more beneficial not only for other people but more the people in my field of dance.
Speaking of dance, i will be going back to lock myself in the studio, i am still bound to finish rhe trilogy of 'Still feel the presence". This has been by far the most touring piece as well as getting the most favourable reviews from both local here in USA as well as international. The truth of the matter is that i dont know what the outcome of the last phase will be???
I have a few more works to create as well as collaborate that are still in the pipeline.
For now i say easy and be blessed

Gut Feeling
I have a question for any of you reading and interested in conversing with me through this blog. What elements dertemine the insticts that we have and follow to make decisions and choices in our everyday life?
I have to ask this question not only because it crosses my mind every now and then, but because as people we tend to regret and guilt our souls after having choosen a wrong path.I know that these choices are not all over our faces for us to just pick and move on with life. At times it takes more than thinking need i say risk certain aspects of life.
My perception will definitely vast from the next man's off-course.....As i am writting i am trying to get the gist of the topic "Gut feeling".
Anyway let me hear what you guys think.....I understand if people dont get back on this one as it might not be that much intriguing!!!!! This is me justfying.

Lazy Monday
Time sure goes fast, its no wonder to me that its Hurricane seoson already, well speaking of Hurricanes the evaccues that left New Olreans will be relieved to know that Gustav did not do much damage to their households as Katrina did.
I feel for the New Orleans residents, fact that one has to live in such fear and the notion of having to move every year need i say flee from the mother earth's anger, some are still healing and trying to forget rather live with the 05' disasters.
Has anyone ever thought why all these natural phenomenas happen? beside the geographical and scientifical context, lest i say biblical. I think the earth does retaliate in some way or the other.
Well for as long as the people cause and destroy its sources, the repacations will always be costly. I am at this point trying to get my drive with blog writting as some of you might notice that my phrasing and texting is still abit mixed up.
Peace all
