My Japan trip from hell for lack of a better comparison

As y'all know I have been to Japan more than 12 times in the last three years, initially because my son and his mom resided in Yokohama City and I paid the bills so I may as well sleep at the house every now and then :o). This also gave me the opportunity to network and start doing a lotta shows in Japan. I was and still am an advocate of visiting and supporting Japan. The people are nice the culture is rich and enthralling. They embraced reggae music and jamaican culture like no where I have ever seen. So for Jamaicans or reggae lovers in general Japan is an ideal travel destination.

Lets forward to present time April 2010. My relationship with my son's mother Rie Matsuo has gone south. She doesn't let me talk to my son as much and or see him via skype and or other messengers. She moved out of "our" apartment to an undisclosed address. My son's birthday is April 8th and my most recent trip to Japan was supposed to be a special one because:

1. I would get to spend his birthday with him for the first time in Japan

2. I was performing (not DJing) at Emergency a big bi-monthly dance at the Yokohama Bayhall


The trip started off kinda rocky, Rie informed us the day of the trip via email that she would be unable to pick us up (my brother Evan and myself) at the airport because she had to work. No problem since I've been to Japan so many times I new how to get around, so we took the Ycat bus to Yokohama City, then a train to the station closest to our "hotel" that she recommended and we reserved.

When we got to the hotel we found out that it was actually not a hotel but a "hostel". When dude told me that I was like,

"Yow I've seen that movie B!!!"


The rooms were tiny with a lil bed and a TV, the bathrooms were coin operated, 100Yen for 4 minutes and the had a lounge if you wanted internet, you had to change your own sheets, and a whole bunch of other stuff that the proprietor claimed was "European Style".

And to make matters worse when we linked up with our friends Captain C, Bigga C, Barba they informed us that the spot was in the garrison and it wasn't a good idea to stay there. smh Go figure. Thanks Rie !

We obviously had to make new accomodations


The next day we rented a car. Captain C cosigned and they took my drivers license (my PA drivers license) copied it , we purchased the insurance, got the lil Mazda and went on our way. Evan and I then went to the Totsuka area to visit some of Rie's family (she wasnt taking our calls).

That same day we were in a car accident, a collision at an intersection both cars were totalled. The people in the other car were rushed to the hospital and myself and Evan were left by the cars to wait for the police. I was later informed that we werent taking to the hospital because we were standing and the emergency personel didn't speak english. [ I guess they just knew we didn't speak japanese by looking at us, since they said absolutely nothing to us]

[ read the article about the accident here http://pittsburghreggae.blogspot.com/2010/04/fudgie-springer-in-car-accident-in.html ]

But to make a long story short, my left knee was swollen (it still is), Rie was forced to leave her busy job and come talk to the police and the "investigation" started.

Few days went by I limped around to a few parties, Rie was giving us the run around about seeing Jr, and I had to go to the Totsuka Station to make a statement.
I was there for 3 + fucking hours, they asked me about high school, college all my jobs in my life.... At first I was very cooperative until they asked about my international license. When I answered they told me I was lying and started mentioning "GENEVA"

Mi say to mi self "WAIT!!! IF DEM PUSSY YA NO TRUST MI WHY MI FI TRUST DEM?"

So mi tell dem say mi withdraw di whole statement unless someone I knew eg Captain C can read it to me to verify that it represents what I said and they declined.

I went back another day but this time I printed and signed my own statement in english and brought it with me. I was there for another 3 + hours because for them my statement wasn't sufficient and they had to make up their own Japanese statement. I even asked if they could draft an english version of their statement to make me comfortable and they declined. They also informed me that I had to go to court because of my refusal to sign.

DEM NAH WORK WID ME SO WAH MI SUPPOSED TO DO? WHAT WOULD YOU DO?


Well after that it seemed like everybody I knew in Japan was upset with me because I wouldn't just sign the paper. After my show in Yokohama
[ the pics can be found here http://pittsburghreggae.net/pics/thumbnails.php?album=6 ]

I went into a room where everyone was hanging out and people I never met b4 were advising me to sign. I thought to myself,

"damn was there a meeting kept and I wasn't invited?"

Since then I decided to fulfill my obligation and do the show in Tokyo and then just take weh mi self from them. This make everybody even more upset. Di man dem unfollow me pon twitter. Write all kinda tings bout me in Japanese. One translator told me that somebody "one of my "friends"" told his twitter followers that I am an idiot and that no one in Japan should book me. One dude said me and him "Cyaa fren again" and the bull shit goes on and on..."

Mek mi tell yu dis:

p.s. nobody cared about my swollen knee but I made it to the doctor results from xrays and mri forthcoming


1. BE YOURSELF, DON'T LET ANYONE OR ANY GROUP OF PEOPLE FORCE YOU TO BE OR DO SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO BE OR DO

2. NEVER SIGN ANY DOCUMENT THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND OR IF YOU ARE UNCERTAIN THAT YOU SHOULD

3. PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT CULTURES ARE IN FACT DIFFERENT DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL

4. BIG UP ALL MY JAPANESE SUPPORTERS AND BIG UP MY NON-SUPPORTERS

5. FRIENDS HAVE DISAGREEMENTS, IT TAKES MORE THAN THAT TO END REAL FRIENDSHIPS

We are PLATONIC FRIENDS I don't want to fuck her

Does that shit sound ridiculous to you too lol I had to chuckle while I was writing that.

Have I ever met a woman who I wouldn't have sex with at least once ?

SURE !!!!

but in each instance she was either:

a) old as hell,

b) unattractive as hell,

c) had some medical problem or

d) was a relative.

But hey I'm a heterosexual self proclaimed whore so maybe the rules are different for me

I think the whole concept of Platonic friends is a myth a lie a scam (referring to heterosexual people)


Lets first of all define PLATONIC FRIENDS

"love (for one of the opposite sex) free of sensual desire"

When mi read this definition it makes me think Plato was a faggot

Make mi get this straight you love a girl but you have no desire for her

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life


Males and females have a natural attraction, men when in contact with an attractive female naturally has specific urges. (naturally wah fuck her) [read this]



I already stated my reasons why I probably wouldn't sleep with a woman (at least once)

but there are other reasons why a person would not sleep with a woman

1. If you are in a exclusive relationship


2. You work or do business together


3. The person was in a prior relationship with friend or family member

and we probably could come up with other similar reasons to keep it non-sexual if you will

But I ask myself if you would fuck someone if you weren't in the current situation is your relationship really platonic?


Ladies cut the bullshit you can't be that naive

You think he just likes to hang out with you right?

He just enjoys helping you out doing those little odd jobs that you need done

He just a great guy right evey time you call on him he is there

Try out this excersize:

Jokingly make a sexual advance to him and see how he responds

Just try it, What do you have to lose except the word 'platonic" from in front of the word "friend"


I am going to go out on a limb and say they should change the meaning of Platonic to "FUCKING GAY"

because no heterosexual man really wants just a Platonic female friend

So Ladies all your platonic friends want to fuck you and will if given the right opportunity

Every single one (who is straight)

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFEE

Twitter me this twitter me that

Just a few short years ago everybody was into myspace, facebook, Hi5, Tagged etc

All of these are social networks are somewhat very similar, some people use them for networking, some for business, some seeking relationships, some just because everybody else is doing it.

Today Twitter seems to be taking over.Everbody is tweeting, from the biggest business down to the big breast girl that works at Pizza Hut has a twitter page.

Let me tell you about my first experience with twitter.

As most of y'all know I use reverbnation to keep in touch with my fans, friends and contacts via my email list.

I remember reverbnation giving me the option to use twitter to update my status, so I signed up not knowing what I was really doing. I imported some friends and every now and then I tweeted just to update my reverbnation page.

Thats how I started but I honestly can't tell you how I became the avid tweeter that I am today with my 17,300 + tweets as of today.

Lets break it down. When you tweet you basically type what you are doing?

That's it!!!!

simple is it?

So you might ask yourself what is the big deal, well whoever thought up twitter was actually a genius. Let me tell you why.

We all in some levels have narcissistic qualities, We all love our selves and in essence love talking about ourselves and we all like to believe that people give a fuck about what we are doing, thinking, planning, promoting etc

So twitter gave us all the medium to quench our desire to tell people what we are doing

Its gets deeper than that, unlike other social networks where individuals are mutual friends, twitter has a follow, follower system. So you have to follow somebody, and if they choose to they can follow you back or not.In many instances you will see someone with thousands of followers but that person is only following a few 100 people

eg. @RevRunWisdom has 780,000+ followers but he follows 0 people

again with this feature twitter plays to your ego, many people want as much followers as they can but really don't want to follow that many people

SOME PEOPLE WILL EVEN GO TO THE EXTENT OF FOLLOWING YOU AND THEN UNFOLLOW YOU WHEN YOU FOLLOW THEM TO "APPEAR" IMPORTANT eg @MRNUHSEHNUTTIN

So it was inevitable that twitter with the correct promotion would've been a success, since it strokes your ego and if you manage to build a sizable followship it is a great tool for marketing, promotion and networking.

If you are new to twitter you have to remember certain things.

1. Twitter is public, anything you tweet even if it is a response to someone specific, anybody can go to your twitter page and see it.

2. Making your page private defeats the purpose, its twitter for crying out loud, if your page is private only those you follow you can see your tweets, therefore it is impossible to network, if you try reaching out to someone the will not see your tweets. I personally dislike following private twitter accounts because a) I can't see what kinda things you tweet about (to decide whether or not you are worth following) and b) I don't feel like I should have to ask you for permission to follow you (who the hell do you think you are?)

3. If you not tweeting now you gonna be on twitter in the near future (trust me) so just give in and go to twitter.com and sign up

4. Tweet from your phone, most phones have twitter apps that make the tweeting experience favourable, almost everybody who is anybody has twitter, and twitter is real time, so think about twitter offers you the opportunity to connect with say "Shaquille Oneal" @THE_REAL_SHAQ [Yu can send a message to Shaq phone or almost anybody yu can think of if they tweet]

Bottom line Twitter is genius, its the new way to get information real time and to share information real time, it is single handedly the fastest growing social network in the history of social networks. Get with it and make sure you following me @FUDGIESPRINGER .

I AM A WHORE AND I ENDORSE TWITTER.

DANCEHALL FRIENDS

DANCEHALL FRIENDS

Friendship is a topic that if you were to go by dancehall music is an extremely bad thing or a crazy thing to be involved in.

• Bugle- Please protect me from my frens while I try to protect myself from my enemies lord
• Mr Vegas - We no wah no fren from dem
• Tony Matterhorn - Mi no wah no fren from no bwoy
• Daville - Mi no wah no new fren cause dem anno true fren
• Jahvinci - Watch yu frens that yu smoke with and run joke wid

What is a friend? and why does our culture seem to condemn friendship?
Let me make this very clear there are various types of friends.

NEW FRIENDS

Is there a time period when its OK to make friends? Its been my observation that when an individual is down he has no problem getting friends and help from "new" friends but when this same individual starts having some form of progress making "new" friends is undesirable.
What is the logic behind this? I have always thought this was one of the stupidest things that was always promoted in dancehall.

Everybody wants to believe that there is someone out there for them. A soulmate if you will, a "friend" for lack of a better word to spend the rest of your days with.
Everyone was born alone unless you were twins or triplets etc so I guess we should live life with no friends (since if I gather any friends the would be "new")
All your current friends at one point was a "new" friend

FAKE FRIENDS
Fake friends are opportunists, they usually pretend to be your friend based on the things you can provide them whether it be money, contacts, clout or sometimes services you can provide.

TRUE FRIENDS
Before we start talking about "true friends" let us at first look at ourselves and our current situations. Are we true friends to any particular people? Do we have the capacity to be true friends?

• True friends are selfless not selfish
• True friends will support you even if it hurts his own interest
• True friends will help without you sending a request without expecting something in return
• True friends keeps it real with you, let you know what you need to hear not what you want to hear
• A Mother is a true friend to her child

Are you a true friend? Can you be one?

I have to believe that all the songs that I made reference to could not have been talking about "true friends"

From a personal level I appreciate all my friends, I would not be who I am today without friends, I will not progress to my full potential without some friends that I'm sure I haven't even met yet. Big up all a mi true friends, big up also the not so true friends you have time to turn it around. And to my future new friends I look forward to meeting you.

REPRESENT FI YU TRUE FRIENDS

FUDGIE SPRINGER THE SELECTOR: WHORING AND TOURING 2010 (ALL PROMOTERS LINK UP)

I have played in many cities in the US, several cities in Germany, several cities in Japan, several communities in Jamaica and in Pittsburgh PA the city I reside I'm known more as di top selector than as a reggae/dancehall artist. Bugle if you talk to him will tell you I was one of the selectors who a endorse him ting from way before him "excersize everyday and him still not fit"

MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN TO AN EVENT THAT I SPIN THINK I'M PRETTY DARN GOOD.
