RUSTY JABBZ NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 31, 2011 ISSUE # 07 THE LAST ISSUE OF THE YEAR;
THE YEAR IN REVIEW:
Can someone, please get me some organo gold coffee. After the day, I've had New Year's eve isn't turning out to be the day I planned it to be. Of course, nothing is ever what it seems. I scheduled today to be a day where I kick back relax and just write my last article on the 2011's year in review. Yes, that was the plan until I received several interruptions. Starting off with facebook this morning, when I almost thought I lost one of my private groups. I was devastated because I do not want to lose this group nor the group of guys that belong to it. This group been very helpful and behind me throughout the year and I wouldn't know what to do if ever I lost them. Thankful to my good friend, Keyshawn, who just today added me to a new group called "The Blackness". I believe that's our new name and group. I'm so glad I didn't lose my hubbies. For the ones who are unaware, yes I'am the occasional homosexual.
Later I received a phone call from one of my facebook friend's from Oakland, California her name is Ashanti. She's in town, just flew in last night. She gives me a call wanting to know what is good for the New Year. As I mentioned, I made plans just to put together this last issue of Rusty Jabbz. I did take into consideration, I wanted to meet her finally face to face. Ashanti and I, been talking with one another through viral social communication for the past three years or so. I thought to myself, this may kind of put a damper on today's schedule. I have plans for tonight to attend some New Year's eve party. My friend, Ashanti, she's welcome to attend. I would love to have her and her friends accompany me tonight and any other night while they're in town.
If that wasn't all. Total chaos and mayhem inside my home. When I seen tears dripping down my mother's cheek. Apparently some sort of conflict back at home in her native land (Jamaica) between her sisters, my aunts that lead to turmoil. I know, its not the kind of news anyone wants to hear on the final day of the year. I didn't like the way my mother was shaken up from this disturbance. I pray to the lord, that within the next few hours of today. He will intercept some sort of source that will change today's stream of intense events back into a moment of peace and sanity between my family by 12 o'clock midnight. Going into a new year is no way to enter carrying unnecessary baggage.
I'm sitting down in front of my computer, pouring my heart out to you all. It only just begun. Let's go back and visit 2011. My 2011 and at the same time I'm reviewing this past year you all can do the same and review this year as well and see what have 2011 done for you.
Every New Year's eve the clock strikes 12 and it becomes New Years Day. We all gather around and say our New Year's resolutions but we never manage to live up to them. Making our New Year's resolutions, false resolutions. I'm not sure whether or not I made New Year's resolutions, last year but some people had reservations against me at that start of 2011. Making my entry into the New Year, an unpleasant one. It started when I was quote on quote placed on "Involuntary Leave" for one year without pay due to my medical illness. Involuntary Leave, my ass DEP, y'all bustaz suspended me from work with no income. It wasn't an easy survival being out there on my own with only my savings to live off of. I thank my mom, for having my back this whole year. She's been my guardian angel in my moment of trials and tribulations. Things didn't begin to start to turn around for me until I finally got my new insurance plan and social security disability benefits. Which I'm grateful, all these things took about 6 to 8 months to establish.
It wasn't easy being unemployed for an whole year. I had to keep myself occupied. My Rusty Jabbz Newsletter followers and supporters I would like to thank you for helping me keep myself occupied. I figure with this much time on my hands. I had plenty of time to put all my undivided attention into Rusty Jabbz and the music business. Non-stop industry extravaganza than ever.
This year was the year that rustyjabbzentertainment.blogspot.com I'm not going to say, explode but expanded into various direction. Directions of hip hop, art and fashion.
I gotten the opportunity to work with the New York City Parks Department, once again. The position came at a rare time. Right when I was suspended from my current employment. A week later, I get a email for Prospect Park seeking workers to help shovel snow off the Tennis Center, located across the street from Prospect Park. Thank the lord for the big snowstorm on January 27, 2011. If it wasn't for that day I wouldn't have this job. Even though its an seasonal position it still helps out when need be. For example, July 3, 2011 returning to Prospect Park to work the entire summer during their morning weekend shifts. As for right now, the position is currently closed until further notice. It was fun being apart of the Prospect Park Alliance.
As you can see just like everybody when they enter a brand new year there's ups and there's downs. I have maybe two moments this year that meant a lot to me. This past, March, we celebrated a decade long anniversary of Rusty Jabbz. Rusty Jabbz was started in 2001. Our first issue debuted, March 2001. When we started, Rusty Jabbz we were a team of writers looking for a voice for New York Cities Underground Hip Hop. Magazines like The Source, XXL and Vibe weren't representing the true essence of hip hop. So, we decided to give our underground emcees and djs a voice, a media, a outlet. Things haven't changed since ten years ago except maybe we're no longer a paper newsletter and the staff is now six minus five. Leaving me to be a one man hip hop group. Which is cool, the other members have moved on to other agendas. They'll always be, Rusty Jabbz in my book. Taking care of everything all by myself showed I have versatility and the skills to multi-task. I'm proud of the ten year accomplishments with Rusty Jabbz. The start of Worldwide Jabbz and Rusty Photos. Rusty Jabbz allows me to be that journalist I never could be but at the same time prove it to the world via blogspot. Worldwide Jabbz on the other hand allows me to be that video director I could never be but at the same time prove it to the world via youtube. I will never forget the anniversary of Rusty Jabbz, 10th year. I'm already looking forward to the 20th. I'm going to keep my newsletter running as long as I'm breathing because I'm only doing this for one... and that's HIP HOP!!!
That was an upper right, quite an upper. Now here are one of those downers I mentioned earlier. This one touched me hard and hit me and my family hard. It was on Tuesday, September 13, 2011 the day I loss my father. He died in the hospital I'm not quite sure what exactly happen. The one thing I do know, I miss him so much and I love him and I still wish he was still here. It's been hard on myself and my mother and brother. I'm thankful that we are all here together to share and mourn the loss over my father's death. My father, Samuel Marvin Wright Sr came as an surprise to us. To my mom specifically, considering she was with my dad inside the hospital during his unexpected final days. The loss of my father still taunts me. Can't a day go by and I don't think about him. I don't want to stop thinking about him. I know it was rough losing my father but the good thing about death are the memories we get to hold onto forever. Whenever I think of him its as if he's still with us. I already lost my dad, I be dammed if I lose my memories of him.
I'm about to wrap this up but before I do let's give one last brief rundown of 2011.
I'm going to set up a timeline of all the details of 2011.

These are a few of the serious encounters that took over part of my life during this year. As you see, my year started off on a very rough note and I had to struggle to get it at a mediocre level. Only to have my year end not so great. That is how our world works, on a 360 degree angle. It basically spun its way back to darkness. At least for me, other people 2011 may have been paradise to them. But, 2011 was nothing paradise here for me.
Before I go, I would like to wish everyone. A happy and safe New Year. All the best into 2012 and throughout the year. Remember, tomorrow will also be Imani the final day of Kwanzaa. Imani meaning Faith, something we should all carry with us. Take heed to the words I spent hours on typing. I wish everyone all the best, Good night. Once again, HAPPY 2012!!!
