The Dominican Republic, Hip-Hop, & Me: October 2005

I'm leeeaaaavinnnn'.... on the next plane...

Ok it's official. I've booked my flight and I'm leaving the 18th of November. It's simultaneously exciting and nerve-racking to know the date is so close. I feel like so much is not prepared or in order, but then again, i don't think you ever feel truly quite prepared for an experience such as this. I've decided to pack light. No need to act tlike a spoiled American. A simple set of shirts, mostly WB's and Short-sleeves and some jeans and shorts. Not too many shorts, as the locals can spot a foreigner right away in a par of those. I always found it funny that people in the hottest climates wear long sleeves and pants as if it and 80 friggin degrees outside. But hey.

I'll be bringing my writing materials and hope to get a nice slew of songs and poems done. Maybe even a short story.

18 days until lift-off...

Visit my Photo Blog!!!

Don't forget to truly get the full experience by visiting my other photo-based blog on the links list or go to Fotki.com and do a search for "HipHopGoneDreadLoc".

It's under "T.R. in the D.R." and there are a few other albums to view, too.

Darn technical difficulties!!!

Oh boy... life sucks at times. I was all set to be leaving on October 28th when some business related things came up that i MUST be in town for. So it looks like I'm not leaving to either mid-November or early December. Sh&*t!!!!!!
