haven’t "blogged" in a while (i really hate that word, ehhem)..
so now when i should be studyin last minute for a test tomorrow on a
subject i haven’t remotely followed since the last test, i’m gonna
write one haha..

anyways, tonight i remembered how i became
vaguely depressed when i turned 20 back in late april, when i realized
that i’d gone far too long on simply my abilities and my potential -
and that i didn’t really have as much to show for it as i should’ve..
back then, i remember feelin pretty disappointed in myself in several
aspects of my life - much to the chagrin of those close to me, who of
course dutifully tried their best to convince me that i had
accomplished a lot more than jus about anyone else my age and that i
had a lot to be proud of.. i shrugged all that off, and took it as a
wakeup call to do more with my life and follow up on my potential by
puttin my heart into things more and remaining disciplined.

since
that day, jus over six months have passed.. i started from scratch with
a vision, but my plans for gettin involved with the glamour world have
flourished and become far bigger than i could’ve possibly imagined at
that point.. kayce models is pretty much locked and loaded to take off,
and at this point you don’t even need to hear that from jus me..
assuming a lot of the responsibilities in CASS has also been a great
experience.. and last but not least, kayce photography has continued to
expand its reach in Toronto beyond my mind’s wildest boundaries..

yet,
as i reflect while the year comes to an end.. i’m left with pretty much
the same feelin of dissatisfaction i felt back in April, on multiple
levels.. though a lot of things have changed during this turbulent
half-year, the same flame still FUELs (har har, guess i shouldn’t be a
comedian) me to do better.. i guess i could sit back and try to enjoy
the vacation i’m bout to embark on while i rest on my laurels, but i
realize i really don’t have that in me..

instead, now i know
the foundation is set.. and while the past six months have been "good"
and, to be honest, a lot better than i thought it would’ve been, i’m
out to be "great" - the soul of a hustler, with discipline, passion and
heart.. i’m still as hungry as ever, but i’m comin a lil older, a lil
colder, and a lot harder now.. i can’t wait for 2007

^
one of my best clubbin experiences outta the hundred-plus i’ve prolly
been a part of, prolly due to alcohol thanks for comin out to those who did - pics will be
uploaded soon..

so apparently i’ma confrontational shitdisturber.. oops. haha..
oh well, the last episode of someone frontin on me was kinda funny..
probably even funnier than the random shit i heard bout me wantin to
work for other promotions companies ahaha - (sorry fellas i’d rather
make my own money and shit on all of you at the same time..) anyways,
the apology came quickly this time and so i’ll be nice, despite bein a
lil disappointed =( at least this guy actually had a clue, unlike that
fugly dude who actually thought he’d play underhanded rudebwoy and get
away with it a few saturdays ago haha.. alright, i’m in a good mood, so
with anecdotes aside i’ll get into what i want to say =)

things that make me smile, in no particular order:

01) seeing people i care about happy
02) having people who i’ve never met, or even heard of, talk shit about me or doubt me
03) doing the things i love (music, photography, basketball.. girls.. haha)
04) doing the things i love while gettin paid (too bad the NBA gig didn’t work out eh? and yea, i’m good but i’m no gigalo haha)
05) pushin my own bounds and watching myself grow as a person
06) food.. i love my metabolism too.
07) confrontation.. violence doesn’t always solve everything but it sure is fun
08) meeting new people who are able to keep me interested for more than a fleeting moment..
09) being with those special and rare people that make your life meaningful =)
10) independant solitude accompanied by music.. alone time is so important.

ps.
the background song (at my xanga haha) is sooooooooooooooooo sick. gets me so inspired to
get on that grind.. everrrrrrrrry time.. fuckin guy who had the nerve
to bring me to my first rave ahaha, thanks =P

i’ve
always been the kinda person who’s focused on gettin things figured out
on my end.. i pay a lot of attention to detail in most things i do, and
i push myself harder than anybody else could push me.. in other words,
i try to control the things that are in my grasp, and i always look to
better myself.. now, as i think bout how i’d describe my summer, i’d
say its been a learnin experience in the sense that its probably been
the first time in my life where i haven’t really been able to dictate
everything in my own life based on the decisions i made..

havin
worked to establish myself as an independant musician in one city, and
then as an independant photographer and  entrepreneur in another fresh
and foreign city, i always prided myself on bein able to take charge in
my life and bein able to do exactly what i want.. i’ve jus about always
gotten what i wanted, and i definitely haven’t been handed any of what
i have today.. nobody asked me to be any of the things i am today, and
i’m glad to have laid down the foundation to my own paths on my own terms..

this
summer was different though.. lookin at it on a grand scale, i’d still
easily be able to tell you that i’ve achieved a shitload in the past 4
mths.. kayce photography is bigger than i ever imagined it’d be,
considerin i jus picked up a camera randomly and decided i was goin to
be a photographer about a year ago.. kayce models took off unexpectedly
in the latter half of summer and made itself my full time job, yet
things are lookin up still.. music is still music: at any given time
its somethin i can pick up and, regardless of the content, i’d still be
able to tell you that a new PRIZM album would move a few thousand units
without distribution..

from a day-to-day point of view though, this was a rough summer.. i
made sloppy mistakes, and i missed on foresights.. i even let a spoiled
little twit end a friendship i actually cherished.. and, at the end of
it all, realizing that sometimes its really not about what kinda person
you actually are is kinda tough to swallow.. it really would’ve been
nice to end the summer on a high if the warmth i glimpsed wasn’t so
superficial, but i guess thats life in the fast lane for you.. and its
not really anything i didn’t see coming, so i’ll learn =)

now?
its really jus all about discipline.. its there in the gleam of my eye
already, so i jus gotta get it done.. i actually love it when these
no-name fools talk about me 24/7 tho - coz i still don’t know anything
about any of them ahaha.. keep it up, and step up your game while
you’re at it - it only drives me farther past places you could never
get to in the first place

"he’s movin again" - juelz santana

oh yes. oh yes. that about
sums up my mood right now haha.. a lotta stuff happened tonight, mos of
it random but all of it fitting. fitting in the sense that it was all
but the culmination of what’s been a crazy 3-4 days in a craaaaaazy
month.. i’m always busy, but shit, 4 five-hour shoots in 5 days is
insaaaaaaane.. muscles i didn’t even know i had hurt from holdin a
friggin camera.. its been fun though, tho now i have a few thousand
photos from the past week that i have to edit at some point haha..
anyways, the night started fairly ordinarily by us gettin to Tonic
really really late.. couple of buddies were celebratin their bdays, so
people were already pretty retarded in the VIP by the time i arrived,
which is again, ordinary haha.. then, this really ugly dude i used to
work with starts talkin to me as if i’m supposed to be, in his words,
"down" with him.. uh oh.. not this shit again.. worked with him for a
few months, and havin him pretend to be my buddy and havin him scare
ALL of my female friends on a NIGHTLY basis was bad enough.. now that
he was fired, i def wasn’t goin to put up with this shit lol.. anyhow,
i was nice enough to explain to him that i didn’t give a fuck about
bein "down" with him now because i would no longer be workin with him,
and that i’d want to be civil in the presence of guests.. he then told
me he wanted to be down with me still, regardless of our situation..
well, i sorta giggled and said no, lol. and i guess he was drunk? coz
somehow this clown gets the idea to not only try and shittalk me but to
push me while i’m in the presence of the night’s bday guests.. while i
had my camera… haha, that is a no-no if you know anything about me.
for both reasons..  anyways, the bouncer escorted him out, and i - bein
the civil & considerate person i am, haha - followed him out.. as
soon as this fugly dude and i were both outside of the club’s
boundaries, the bouncer gave me permission to begin "talking" with him,
ahaha.. somehow.. and i don’t really understand how i missed this.. coz
it meant that i missed out on a grand opportunity.. but, somehow, i
didn’t notice about 3 cops standin RIGHT behind me on the same street
corner.. lol. aaaand, as you can guess.. before i got to have any real
fun the cops were on me and pinnin me to the ground - and in a pretty
efficient manner i might add haha.. at this point i’m kinda laughin at
myself for bein so stupid, and the cop even called me an idiot coz
apparently he was lookin over when i walked outta the club.. and i
turned around and slugged someone twice RIGHT in front of him
ahahaha… oh well. he was pretty amused by it, and at how i was
equally amused haha.. took about 30 seconds to see that i was
completely sober, and feelin pretty foolish that i didn’t wait to take
it out on him elsewhere.. and that was that, the premature end to the
first fight i’ve had in jus about 5 yrs. and WOW. thats a long time..

then.
to give the night even more depth, haha, my ex appeared outta nowhere
and stood about 10 feet away from me out in front of tonic.. she was
with her friends, so i - again, bein the civil & courteous person i
am ahaha - jus call her cell instead.. she glances at it, then puts me
to her answerin machine: so, yes i guess she still hates me =) which is
fine.. jus a shame, but we’ll both live, and i’ll still be ready to
talk to her when she’s ready to talk to me.. coz i’m like that, and
yea, i learn from everything =)

pretty fun night eh? i’d say
so.. now i have 4.5 hrs to sleep, before my nex full-on photoshoot..
weeeeeee, havin a studio is pretty convenient, but i’m tempted to spend
even morrrrre money on shit.. what did i come away with from tonight?
always expect the unexpected ahaha, and enjoy it. shame my fun was cut
short, but meh - shit happens, and i was sloppy anyhow =(

oh yea, and one more thing.. i really do miss fighting. i guess you can’t always run away from who you are..

and, don’t worry babe - i’ll take care of myself, promise.

he passed away last week, but i received the bad news just earlier
this morning - my sincerest condolensces go out to his friends and
family, the latter having been a tremendous part of his life over the
past few years as he had gone thru round after round of endless therapy
to counter his leukemia..

despite the harsh conditions of his
treatment, he was always a really positive person and though he was
confined to either a hospital bed or his home a good portion of the
time, he was one of the few socially-aware youths i’ve had the
privilege of knowing.. it was weird because we both always understood
how different from each other we were, but we always valued each
others’ opinions on everything from politics to family to lifestyle to
music, simply coz we were both grounded and we both aimed to ‘do the
right thing’ all the time… kinda strange thinkin back of
conversations we had about our lives, knowin there was still a lot he
had wanted to accomplish that he had set out to achieve.. but at the
same time, i know that he deserves to be in a better place.. i just
hope his parents, whom he loved ever so much, truly understand how much
he really appreciated them…

RIP Nick..
