“Everybody right here, what you need to do is to be thankful for the life you got
You know what I’m sayin’?
Stop lookin’ at what you ain’t got and start bein’ thankful for what you do got”

- T.I. on “Live Your Life”

What a month. February was an eventful month for me, and I can’t help but be grateful for it. Let’s be clear though…I’m not JUST grateful for February, but I’m grateful for everything. But with last month, I can’t help but look back like wow…I’m in good shape. It’s hard not to look around and be appreciative of everything, y’know what I mean? Of courseeee you do.

On Friday, February 17, 2012 until Sunday, February 19, 2012, Tampa Bay will be throwing the third annual India International Film Festival. Taking place at Channelside Cinemas, this three day festival will open with a main feature presentation and opening night gala, followed by a variety of feature films, short films, music videos and documentaries from different genres.

If you guys remember, I premiered the video for “Blow” there last year. Well this year, my newest song “Do it 2 Me” (featuring Jabi and produced by Digital Desi) will be featured in the film “Uncoupled“. Check out the trailer for the film festival alongside the trailer for the film itself below. Hope to see you guys there!

‘Cause sometimes you just feel tired,
Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.

- Eminem on “Till I Collapse”

Sometimes, you gotta strong arm the game. I mean, you gotta REALLY muscle your way through every hurdle and every obstacle and everything going against you. There comes a point where you can’t sit back; instead, you have to step up, take charge, and fight your way through the BS. We all encounter it, and let’s face it…lots of people give in to the pressure. Well, I wanted to give in myself this past month; instead, I did the opposite. I got my ass back up and fought through it. This month wasn’t bad by any means, but it did require me to push harder. But yes, I’ll get to that in a minute.

So a few weeks ago, I attended the Tampa Bay International Curry Festival. An all day event, the festival featured lots of food, lots of music, and live performances from Ruben Studdard, Donnie Klang (of Making the Band), and Roach Killa, among others.

During the event, I had a chance to be interviewed by Desi Web USA. Check out the videos in the link below, I’m in “Curry Festival Part 3″ and “Curry Festival Part 4.” And oh yeah, I have a mini freestyle in there too!

“Much success to ya, even if ya’ wish me the opposite
Sooner or later, we’ll all see who the prophet is”

- Nas on “Nas is Like“

Whatup my peoples? Welcome back to the Ajaxxx.com Opinions Column, the one spot on the planet where you can get into the head of yours truly. This past month was really good to me, so let’s not waste any time and jump right into it.

September, oh September. Generally speaking, Septembers are rough for me. In the past, I’ve gone through lots of bad experiences during the month. From nasty breakups to bad news, it’s always dangerous. And the 30th of the month has always been extra krazy for some reason. Well anyway, this September was far from that. Despite experiencing some lows (I’ll get to that later), I didn’t let it get to me. Instead, I embraced the highs. And yes, there were lots of them.
