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.
Jah Bless

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.

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
Sons of Jah
