Mother's Day Was Superb!

After having so many mothers day events that were good, it's safe to say this year is my favorite so far. I had nothing planned for mom this year and honestly I didn't remember until the day itself. As Shebada would say it crept up on me like Smirnoff Ice. After talking with friends Sunday morning and hearing their plans I decided to join in on the celebration. So I got tickets to see "Bashment Granny 2" for me and my mom through my friend Princess (thanks a million).

Continuing the trend of previous years I told mom to chillaX and be ready by X time. Fast forward a few hours later - Mom's looking stunning! I met up with two of my best friends, Shenelle & Princess and their lovely mothers at Mass Camp. The place was ram and being early meant nothing as the super fans & moms seem to have slept there overnight or had no other plans for the day. We tried to find better seats closer to the stage but ended up in a blind spot at the front and centre of the audience due to poor planning. This location was Butu filled, sought after and very entertaining to put it mildly. After the show began and realising the view was unworkable we relocated to the back of the audience where the crowd was thinner and the view was less obstructed. I was even fortunate enough to run into my dad and his friends. We enjoyed the rest of the gut busting, laughtastic show. When the show was very close to ending we made our way towards the eXit and sadly didn't get to bid my pops farewell.

Later we took our mothers to Cuddy's who tried catering for football fans by opening @ 6:30 a.m. and then mother's day patrons later. They were half an hour from closing but graciously welcomed us into their establishment and catered to our dire need of nourishment. We even got free tea. Woo-hoo! Shebada entertained us @ Mass Camp and the mothers led by Shenelle's mom took over @ our late dinner. We laughed (sometimes a bit too loudly), ate, talked and shared food. It was a most memorable occasion with three wonderful, youthful, beautiful, caring mothers. The day may have been dedicated to mothers but we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. I can't wait to see what we have planned for our fathers later and neXt year when mother's day comes around again. Big shout out to all the mothers around the world who support your family and build great nations. You are the backbone of any good society. Continue doing your work at the hardest job because it's reward is one of the greatest.

Sunshine Shone Saturday Night as Tanya Stephens and Tanya 2.0 Collide

Salina aka Tanya 2.0 had Fun Saturday night when she finally met her favorite singer for the first time. Tanya Stephens was given the heads up that her #1 fan was at Jordu in 7th Avenue. Upon entering the venue Tanya Stephens was greeted by event planner Princess who indicated this person to be Salina. The original must have seen something strange and scary in her admiree as she made her fingers into a crucifiX. The live performance began to Salina's delight who was front row center in the crowd. Tanya Stephens began with a few of her personal selections. A short time later I arrived with Nichola, Shenelle and Scott to finalise the audience.

This is where I was greeted to not one but 2 Tanya's on stage. The entertainer took requests from the audience which was led by - guess who? As this practice continued the crowd and Tanya Stephens became more aware of the depth and intricacies of knowledge that the girl called Tanya 2.0 possessed about her music. The original Tanya herself admitted that some of these songs and lyrics brought up as requests were almost buried in her memory. Tanya 2.0 was vividly fresh on the lyrical content and was constantly singing along with the Tanya on the stage. Even the crowd was ensnared by her lyrical prowess. Ms Stephens questioned her loyal fan to find out if she still attended school and if her knowledge of her studies were as verse as that of her hobby. It was like an "ooh and aah" session in the room as Tanya Stephens was wondering if she had been the latest victim of Aston Kutcher's show, Punk'd. After numerous songs and jokes from Ms Stephens and requests from her would be successor 2.0 the musical portion of the night came to a close. Salina was eXtremely overwhelmed but manged not to shed any tears of joy. Tanya made it clear to 2.0 that she has been waiting to see someone truly appreciative of her music like 2.0. She also declare her joy at eventually discovering such a person and eXpressed her deepest appreciation to her unquestioned # 1 fan.

The processions of events then continued into an autograph session and photo shoot with fans. The crowd was then greeted to a surprise appearance by Barbee who gave a short sampling of her new hit song. She also took pictures with the crowd and politely signed pictures too. Thus endeth a wonderful night and u missed it. Mu HA Ha Hah. Anyway there were pictures of the show so enjoy.
