The Gasparilla Pirate Festival is a Tampa tradition that has been going on for the last century. Festivities start mid-January and finish in February. Each weekend tons of people attend several different events like the Children's Parade, Music Festivals, Art Shows and the Adult Parade to name a few. Many Adults enjoy Gasparilla because it is all about the beads and booze! Pirates invade the city and throw millions of beaded necklaces into the crowds of the festival goers. The City of Tampa lifts the 'Open Container Law' for Gasparilla by designating "wet zones" and allowing coolers along the parade route. It is known to be the third largest parade in the USA with an attendance of over 300,000 people. This year the Gasparilla Fest coincided with the NHL All-Star weekend. So Tampa Bay was booming with visitors, athletes, pirates and fun!

So I decided to take the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator again and I did get similar results to the first time I took this test circa 2012... and I got ENFJ-T this time!  This year I got ENFJ-A.  via  16personalities Here is a little background information on the MBTI. It was constructed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. It is based on the typological theory proposed by my favorite psychologist Carl Jung . The purpose of the MBTI personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful in people's lives. Jung speculated that there are four principal psychological functions by which humans experience the world – sensation, intuition, feeling, and thinking – and that one of these four functions is dominant for a person most of the time.

"Opportunity knockin' it's finally time to answer the doorbell was only broken cause..." In celebration of her almost sold out tour I been jammin Noname's album "Telefone" all day.

A couple weeks ago I took a short time-lapse video of my departure from Tampa Bay! Enjoy! Tampa, FL https://youtu.be/mV8w3JJzpck

Last weekend while I was in St. Petersburg, Florida I went to a   Badfish: Sublime Tribute Concert  with some friends at Jannus Live. Cute!!! lol @Ashley's face And of course I had to record a short snippet of one of my favorite Sublime songs!  Enjoy! https://youtu.be/U8zBFrDvwAs

I can't believe it has been almost 3 years since I made my  first post  about Banks. Her song ' Goddess ' is still in heavy rotation and I shared that song on here 2 years ago. Banks' 2nd album 'The Altar' is another great one. The visuals for 'Fuck With Myself' are quite intriguing. https://youtu.be/-99e4geCm2w https://youtu.be/tJgyeXoLFPg

Talk about album art!!!  99.9% -  KAYTRANADA KAYTRANADA's album 99.9% is super dope! A couple songs are available on SoundCloud. And if you needed the full 100% ... don't worry we got that too! This man is always producing... his soundcloud is full of all types of goodness

So we all know "Cranes In The Sky" is clearly one of the best songs of 2016 thus far. Right?   Well of course that is my opinion... but I will say it is my favorite song on  Solange's newest album  A Seat at the Table via Fader Common's verse just added the crema to my espresso.  And if you ever had a Nespresso you know that means this remix is perfection!  Common's verse just added the crema to my espresso.  And if you ever had a Nespresso you know that means this remix
