It feel good yeh, mi open de garage come drive up in deh
FIRST THING: If you tryna IM me I promise I'm not iggin you, it just taks HELLA long to load on my comp.
...so wat is there about me?
Bin on Dlist for a good minute. I originally said I've probably seen it all. But now I know in fact I have probably seen most of what's available on here. I've always been one for good conversation, if you wanna converse with me ain no harm. Just please don't talk about your dick or my dick or anything sexual in nature. I don't care if you're horny. Anyway there's nothing you need to know bout me except I'm a dancer. The rest you can ask.
Nothing actually.....
Imagination. That's a good start. And don't be fake. I've encountered plenty of fake people and the kicker is that its only visible after thinking you really trust them. I could say more but I'm not one to sink to other people's level.

A convo between a friend and I starting with this status update:
"Boys come and go but best friends are forever"
Would you classify me as a best friend or a boy?
Odd question, but you're a friend. How's that?
Lol I was just referring to your status.
Haha its more for the guys around here. All show and no substance.
I hear u
I despise that sometimes
Wat do u despise
Being just a show. No personality
Does anyone even check for personality anymore?
No time I guess. That's why I'm bored here.
Bored is the word.
That and just blah. Unmotivated because people are boring and depressing.
Sigh I know
I just need a hobby or something.
I wonder if it's hard to learn how to crochet...
Well I'm gonna learn how to sew...Create my own world. I want my own world where major and minor shit doesn't matter. Just be you and have fun. Because I'm doin it and you're entitled to that freedom as well.
I guess that's just it...create your own world and engulf yourself in it. you are the one that has to live your life...no one else does...make your world the way you want it, and live the way you want....
Have you ever been in one of those Life Aint Shit moods? They ask why is it so hard to let down my guards and trust. Why is it so hard for you to be trustworthy?
They ask why it seems I'm not investing as much in them as I did initially. Why should I when you distribute your investment between multiple people?
They ask why I never explain what's on my mind. Do people actually care what's on someone else's mind anymore?
Life just becomes so lacklustre and boring when people start acting carbon copies.... Even though repairable, the heart is a fragile thing, but does it start out stronger because it's never been hurt, or does it become stronger from all the beatings it endures?
So after the Olympic Rush I took a month long break from dance. Jus kind of bummed around relaxing. I took a little trip out to Toronto (my 3rd home) and reconnected with friends and made sum new friends...and connections...(hehehe)
As for now, BACK AT IT AGAIN!
Rehearsals have been in full swing for The House of La Douche under the guidance of our leader/mother Jojo Zolina. This is my second performance with the house and we are preparing an OVAH piece for the last ever FOR THE LUV OF IT on April 29/10. This is gonna be sick.............
A few of us also (yesterday) did a promo photo shoot for the house so those pictures will be floating around some time soon. Lots of love out to Jojo for just being himself and doing what he does. I honestly don't know how many things would run without you.
My crew, my family, my biggest scheduling catastrophe (j/k) LYRICAL THESIS has been filming our first theme piece ALICE. It has been awesome translating it from stage to film. We did location shots and green screen shots so this promises to be a cool product. Much thanks to HUGO LOPEZ of BOSS ENTERTAINMENT for facilitating and shooting this project for us.
We are also preparing our newest theme piece so be ready!!
My Bucky Top family got a chance to show out at THE HEAVY HITTERS workshop at the beginning of the month. The crew was in full attendance for all three classes (Jojo/Neeks Money/Luther Brown) and got our own little brukout after the Dancehall class. Much thanks to Neeks and Jojo for makin this happen.
PS Luther's class was BEAST!
Thats it for Noyze tonight yall. Full day of shooting and I'm still up at 3 am? Mus be madd
Shout out to all my TO famz
TEASAH for bein there thru all my everything
The SandPaperz: rough an dry makin fierce look over rated
Let's just get straight to it. Have you ever had one of those dreams?
Yeah you know the kind: exhilarating, passionate, sexy, and a little uncomfortable
Well lemme tell ya....I woke up suddenly at 4 am and all I could think was...
"I need to clean my room or something....cuz that was dirty...."
Old Faces + Familiar Places (3/9/10) [View | Hide]
So how many times have you felt convinced that you had to find someone to spend your life with to be satisfied?
How about instead find a buncha people to spend your life with. No not like multiple partners and concubines...friends silly.
Meet my K-12 Crew:
We've all been together since at least fourth grade.
Dejay: (Filipina) into fashion, lifestyles, journalism, abstract self expression. Most likely to find us at a coffee shop, walking somewhere randomly and people/house watching, acting foolish for a camera, reminiscing, eating Asian food.
Michelle: (Brown Girl) into politics, random trivia, leopard/cheetah motif, Rihanna, societal issues, self evolution. Most likely to find us at a McDonalds drive through, London Drugs, Tim Hortons, gossiping about high school classmates, sharing family stories, watching movies at home, leaving a bar after enduring uncomfortable conversation with unwanted company.
Marybeth: (Red Head) into fashion, politics, literature, shopping, self maintenance, good company. Most likely to find us at Starbucks, sushi bar, shopping, watching movies, concocting classy alcoholic beverages.
You know these are true friends if after over a decade of knowing each other we still text, facebook, call, and find adventure in simplest things when we're all together.
No matter where we are spending our lives, apart or together, they will be my piece of home.
Oh man talk about the most tiring 2 months of my life. I don't even know where to begin!!
So right at the beginning of January my crew LYRICAL THESIS got to open up alongside a few other Vancity crews for the MASSIVE MONKEES of America's Best Dance Crew fame.
Next thing on the agenda for the crew was an interview by Vancouver's Just A Lil Hype Magazine. We got feature and a full length interview and photo session. It was an awesome experience and it gave us the chance to really communicate what our mission is as well as think about where we are going as a family and individually.
Next up is LOS ANGELES!!! So I went as a guest dancer of South Asian Arts with the owner Raakhi Sinha to perform at Karmetik's show MACHINE ORCHESTRA put on by CalArts University.
Since I was only there for a short time I didn't get to really take it all in but my friend Ryan who is the best in the world ever took me all around. I got to see the sights and dance still. We also went to the first CARNIVAL (choreographer's ball) of the year and that was inspirational to see all those professional dancers in their element.
Next on the agenda: NOYZE DOES THE OLYMPICS!
So dancing everyday since November lead to the 2010 winter Olympics.
I was lucky to choreograph the first ever 3 person all male Bharata Natyam dance in Vancouver's history. I can say that and know its true because there are only two practicing and performing male BNat dancers here including my self. Other than that there are three more a little more low key I believe. I had the pleasure of dancing alongside Sujit Vaidya (Bombay/Vancouver), and Bhavajan Navatratnam (Toronto).
Right after the first Live City show was the BC Victory Day Medal Ceremonies which were the first medal ceremonies and was held at BC Place Stadium. I took part in the Indo-Canadian set and was a featured Bharata Natyam dancer. The whole piece featured Footedge Dance Co, UBC Girlz Bhangra Team, Shaan-E-Punjab youth team, Bharata Natyam Dancers from Sampoornam Dance Co. (Peali Triveni and Theena-Veena Kalashasthiram) and Jai Govinda Dance Academy, Kathak dancers from Nrithya Manjaree and Mangala Bhatt, Live music from Ajay Kapur and Neelamjit Dhillon and Dhol Nation.
And right after the the Olympic rush was the shoot for an independent documentary called Why Dance Matters where I did a short interview and Dancehall freestyle.
All in all, 2010 has barely begun and it feels like it should already be over. The amount of memories made up until this point are priceless and I can't believe they went by so fast.
Anyway...this month long break is well deserved I think....
WAAAOOOWWW the biggest spider I have ever seen in my life up close jus ran thru my living room at death speed on a mission. Hope you lived a full life until now, bitch. Message to all other human eating spiders: DON'T TEST!!!! Weapon of Choice: O Magazine, the Presidential issue. Thank you Oprah and Michelle Obama for saving my life.
I partly (mostly) want you to pay attention to me. But by the end of this post hopefully you will be paying attention to much more.
If there's one thing I really can't stand its anything that is what I like to call "sometimish"
Sometimish can be a person or situation that is inconsistent. Literally one way sometimes, and then completely opposite other times.
I know none of this is making sense but please keep paying attention.
This day has been quite interesting, filled with a lot of nothing. Fortunately nothing gives me time to think. Gosh I wish I could stop thinking...but I guess if I stopped thinking I would no longer be. I think by now we all know what I am and what I aspire to be. Therefore it is time to get rid of all the sometimish in your life. Just pay it. If you don't know what that means: PAY IT no mind. Being around a lot of sometimish people makes me appreciate those who aren't. My friend told me one day "I'm just letting u know that nows the time and I'm jumping off the building. I need you to trust me and be there with me." I asked him if he wanted me to hold the rope or jump with him. He replied "what ever you decide to do you'll still be there, and you won't be surprised."
So its time! Time to jump head first. Time to be. Time to stop being sometimish. Time to wake up and pay attention.
"If you wanna be somebody, and you wanna go somewhere, you betta wake up and PAY attention..."
(If you know where that quote comes from, you and I are meant to be friends.)
OK so I'm wishing everyone a very happy and prosperous new year!
So many big things happening this year. Some new editions include the 2010 Winter Olympics.
(Did he say the Olympics?)
YEAH snukka I said the OLYMPICS! *BAM BAM BAM!!* Yuh know who's me?? SHOTTA STATUS DAT!
Your bwoy Noyze is choreographing a couple items to be showcased in affiliation with the Olympic Games including an all male Bharata Natyam dance (unheard of in Vancouver).
ANNNND a spot for the BC Victory Day Celebration -- More on that later cuz I dunno if I'm allowed to talk about it.
This was fully intended to be a deep and reflective post but mi nah time fuh dat business now lolz.
Again happy 2010 and may my hair continue to stretch an grow until it trips me.
This is my family and here is a compilation of the work we've done together in the time we've been together. It hasn't even been a year but in that time the amount of headway we've made is astounding. Hope you enjoy it.
This is a convo I felt needed to be shared with all of you:
Me: its a life long goal of mine to find out where most of my lineage is from Me: like wat part of west africa and south india JayeJaye: that sounds cool JayeJaye: i'd like to do that too Me: yeah Me: our african heritage is most likely similar if not the same JayeJaye: yeah, more than likely JayeJaye:yay to our ancestors being keke girls JayeJaye: before the slave catcher came JayeJaye: =(

Lyrical Thesis in the Building (11/25/09) [View | Hide]
Arite so the crew is back at it again. We haven't danced together in a couple weeks since For The Hell Of It where we did our "Alice" piece (still waiting for video).
But we're back, refreshed and excited to be back together. Oh...and still as foolish as ever.
Why? This is one of the first times where I have put things into perspective and been excited about it. I find these days I have to put things into perspective more often than before to regain focus. Here's what I'm focusing on:
Why can't that be me? Well it could be. I've started really thinking about audition to get into a program that offers a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Dance at an east coast university. Just researching and thinking about the possibility all day as been exciting me. Anyone that knows me KNOWS that I despise school...but imagine *insert dream sequence* waking up every morning and taking dance classes every day. Then graduating and getting a degree. Becoming a choreographer and renowned performer. Being a voice for change.....
Those times when you need inspiration, look to those around you.
Me and my girl Teasah a year ago, when every chance I got to dance with her I would be filled with excitement.

Its just one of them days... (11/12/09) [View | Hide]
Sometimes you just need to take one of those days to not be around anyone. In my case today was one of those days. I hate it when people piss me off. But then I remind myself of the people that keep me grounded. Its funny that people who aren't the best of friends can be the ones to really take you there. I guess I have a lucky habit of being mentally attracted towards people with a good spirit. By that I mean people who are just real and possess an almost innate wisdom second nature to common sense. Something I hope I have. And then I look at the picture again and realize that the people I thought I considered best friends are the ones that fuck up the day. Something isn't right....2009 has definitely been a year of learning for me. I have learned so much about people. Ugh....people....they drive me crazy. I'm still learning. One thing I can stay true to while learning is that I am not living for any of these people. I am living for myself. As for the picture up top....that's what I need: A BIG HUG..........
So ladies n gents, here I am after a little hiatus thinking to myself: wowwwww!! These past few weeks have been crazy. On top of crazy preparations for a big show, I got the flu! I'm still here trying to get over it. A week later and still not gone. Of course because i never give myself time to actually recover. Aside from that, we pulled off an amazing show on sunday. This is something that I single handedly choreographed and 12 of us have been labouring hard over since the beginning of september. Early (10 am) sunday morning practices, late monday night practices, and a lot of planning and organization to make this thing happen. On top of this, I was sick at the actual show. Nevertheless, it was amazing. And everyone loved it. Its great to know that there are so many people behind your vision helping it to succeed, and plenty more that are greatly appreciative of it. So anyway, here's the piece. It's called GUJJU BAZAAR and depicts how the workers at a small market place decide to deal with economic hardship in the form of a black and white movie. Enjoy!!
Sittin on [Bucky] TOP of the World (10/19/09) [View | Hide]
I can't help but sit here in the middle of the night, eating my breakfast, and think: damn. No i didn't just wake up by the way. I'm just eating breakfast because I feel like it. Although...you could call this moment an awakening. (Side note, I'm going to need my mama and Auntie Jemima to look into opening a pancake shop and run dat triflin' IHOP girl into the ground 'cause these pancakes areBOMB). So let's talk about what has me feeling like I'm on top of the world. What it is that has further awakened me. I write to you freshly sweaty from yet another performance. Everything went beautifully and people were very appreciative of the item. Business cards were exchanged, email addresses noted, and promises of future contact for gigs to come were made.What does all of this mean?The whole performance went in a split second, and I was lost in the dance, the music, the energy. Not until some official speaking about contracts broke through the absolute high I was on and pulled me back down to earth did I realize, I'm getting paid for this! I am following my dream, putting myself through hell, victim to chaos and disorganization.....and loving every moment....and making a living.
I sit back in the dining room and think about what or who I'm doing this for, and the answer is simple: first and foremost, me. I can respect those who do it just for the money or the recognition, but it feels a whole lot better when in the end you're feeling accomplished within. So many people get caught up in the shady dance scene and fall in the middle of everybody's mix up and common chat. Jealousy makes people do and say things to bring others down and all I can say is, that is beneath me. I'm not doing this to prove anything to Tom, Dick, or Harry (maybe Julissa, Ky'Neeq, and Duone.....yeah those sound more real).DANCERSare quick to get caught up in the glitz, then have to walk back through the shade and get lost, forgetting that once beneath it all was passion. My mother always told me "Don mind wha other people dem say. Jus mind yuhself." Although glad for that little piece of advice, there are some people whose words I did mind and took to heart. I must give respect where respect is due and remember that I learned to hear the beat before I could move to it. I'm so blessed to have learned and shared with the people I consider mentors, and will continue to be forever greatful for their guidance. I just hope that when I do take a wrong turn and get lost that I can look back to this place and remember my way.
i been playing quitar most the day but my roomate just got home with beer and wants to watch the greece soccer game so about to do that. how u doin buddy.
