Valentines Day

I personally don't celebrate the day but I will say Happy valentines to those of you who do. However I hope none of you folks are the type who wait until this one day to show your love and appreciation for those close to you.

On another note, and to avoid going into a tirade against valentines day and its corporate implications, February 14th marks 6 months since the one they call Jdid joined the blogging community. yea yeah! It all started with this one well actually this one but the other one was the reason I actually started. 6 months of Jdid, now that's something worth celebrating lol.

Oh Oh, I feel a grammy acceptance speech coming on.

I'd like to thank my blogging crew for holding me down, I aint calling no names in case I forget anyone but nuff respect to all Caribbean massive worldwide, also my t dot crew but I think all y'all got Caribbean connections, London represent! My Chicago peoples, my Montreal peoples, my Atlanta peoples, my chi-town peoples, my Michigan people and everyone anywhere at anytime who has every commented on my blog. Without you there would be no blog. Big chupse! yea you tell yourself that! :-) I'm just playing. Thank you all for coming back even though I duz write so much stupidness not worth reading. LOL. It has been a great and humbling experience being affiliated with all of you talented folk.

Also want to thank all those who visit but don't comment. Hope you find this stuff enjoyable and keep coming back but show a brother some love and drop a line every now and then.

Oh and a big shout out to my fam for supporting me, even though them duz find a reason to harass me everytime I sit down at de computer to blog. Still without them I wouldn't be here (exactly where here is I aint sure but still), I wouldn't be insane and I wouldn't have anyone to embarrass online besides myself.

And to all those who came ahead of me in the blogging game, nuff respect. It was due to some of your influence that I actually started this thing. To all those who came after me, I hope you guys make it to six months and beyond.

And last but by no means least thanks to the father up above for allowing me to wake up every day and for helping me to blog.

Now I know some of my fellow bloggers been having some issues about why we blog, what to blog, does blogging matter and whether to continue. Well I have those issues continuously so who knows if I'll last another six months but I'll try. I do hope all of you continue to blog though. I think your words spark dialogues and discussion and get us to think and to laugh and it just adds something to enrich our lives. You don't have to speak on anything that you don't feel comfortable sharing or that you think may come back to haunt you, just remember that.

Anyway one love to everyone. We're having a big bashment for the afterparty. Calypso, dancehall and hip hop cann dun! Dress to sweat.

Hey, where's my award? Don't make me act all Kayne West up in here. Oh wait I already went Kayne West up in here by switching up valentines day to make it all about me. My bad. :-)

One Love.

Hail up JDid. The time does fly especially when you enjoy doing it, the blogging thing, that is. I step out of the comfort zone every now and again with issues but I am always aware that it may mash corns. The most that can happen is a bad comment.
Keep it up.
