My Official

So hello, you have officially blogged into my first submission. I am going to take this back to 2002. I should take you even back further to my year as in a chat room to Sugar Jones back in the day when I had received their chats and I need to find copies of that somewhere.

This first blog has to be momential because this year started off with the year of the official year of the birth of Music Addict or Music Fanatic as my original names for a long time. This year brought me the official kick off to Amerie when I got my first e-mail and it put me on the map officially as a established Music Fan(atic) and a couple more, later in that year.

I recorded the day back in December 12th,  2002.

Journal Entry back in that day.

I have some good news! As I was on the amerie.net message boards Amerie PM (Private Message) me and as a attachment for proof you'll find out and it is the display picture letter above. It was 2:52am when this occurred. I had previous misfortunates back before this in 1997-1998 because I was very young to attend to any events and my family wasn't interested in trying to take me to concerts.
So I watched the industry from a far on TV and listen to music stations. I quoted Amerie's quotes in this journal entry back then in my journal.

I say that day was epic.

Later this same year, I was trying to discover some new radio stations outside my Canadian interest when I was young and stumbled across Wolverhampton (yes you may ask where the heck is that?). It is located in London. Why you may ask why I travelled that far to get recognition, because I think a lot of local stations were annoyed by me asking to play Aaliyah tracks and clogging the stations with my request. LOL! I was and still am a HUGE Aaliyah fan until this day and these ladies DJ Snit and Nin plugged a lot of Aaliyah and Amerie songs most of the time and gave me as the sole only Canadian representative at their station when they first started. I also got a lot of recognition and tuned in online every week. I thank them a lot for playing all of Aaliyah songs before her passing. They had a international membership and started the Aaliyah Foundation and travelled to NYC which I hoped to go to and they still do it from this day on. Although no longer in Wolverhampton and now in the States in NYC, these ladies are still going strong. I thank them to contributing me to their station. I was no where as a music fan as a young person trying to find a avenue to get as many shoutouts as I can because I love the attention and recognition.

Both Amerie and Wolverhampton DJs gave me the strength to join BBC Radio 1, some NYC stations and get some recognition but I don't quite remember the year I was tuning there. LOL. I should because it was part of music fanatic history and brought me to stay locally later at Flow 93.5's Love Zone when they first started to get recognized as a poet since my elementary school to high school days.

It was my official recognition which carried me to continue on and change my nicknames over the many years.

Thanks 2002!
