The True Rastafish Story - No Frills

[youthnkzR]

Tight4better, did you really just try to belittle me by taking the mick out of a screen name ?  You're still in your teens, yeah?

JERRY ! JERRY !

[George2Loose]

I like the fact it's in CAPITALS

Never played with you before but you've had me in stitches every time I've watched you on the DTD live streams. Very much looking forward to reading this one.

Would be great to hear you on the SPT commentary later too, get involved...

WTF HOW CAN U TELL HOW OLD I AM BY D WAY I TYP?

Seriously though, manner up.

Douche question from mtt destroyer

Great screen name choice though. Super original.

I'm sure Rasta doesn't want a diary full of fanboy worshippers and no balance, afterall, he thrives on it at the tables .  I'll modify my question to get a more interesting answer for the diary and i'm actually genuinely intrigued despite the way I asked the question before.

Do you think you could ever go busto again and what are you doing differently this time than before (apart from binking dtd majors)?  Was it poker that made you broke before?

Everyone can go bust, it just depends on how you manage your money, but being bust is an occupational hazard.  I haven't put all my eggs in one basket this time!

I learned how to be outfished on my first trip to DTD in 2010 when your 72o call spanked my aces into 'CHIPS PLEASE' territory (flop 772..? I mean really??)

Teaachhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh meeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Anyway, caught you yakking on the SPT live stream tonight so thought I'd pop by and say GO AWAY FISH!! YOU RUINED MY LIFE

So, I'll be off to stock up on popcorn now so mind you don't post anything interesting til I get back...

It was 1971 I was fast becoming a man, the 60’s were well and truly over and Reggae was getting more and more popular amount the young black people in Briton. 

The Moonshot youth Club was the place to be on Friday evenings.  We all went and connected with other young West Indian teenagers.  It was at this youth club where I was first introduced to MC’ing. Jah Shaka was one of the top UK Reggae sound men and inspired the Reggae movement in the UK.  I remember it like yesterday, the music the sound the emotion that you’d feel when you heard the music playing from outside.  You just wanted to be part of it part of the music part of the crowd.. I was called over to the decks by Jah Shaka, he said come on Colburn let’s see what you got, this was the first time I picked up the mic this was the the first time I’d been before a crowd like this for anything, we all knew each other but I wasn’t a face I was just part of the crowd.  The anxiety the shear panic I felt when lifting the mic propelled me, I just started talking and rhymes came out like they had a life of their own

”Open up your heart and let the right love in, leave iniquity and leave out sin, life your life in love and do it through discipline and if you do the right thing Zion you will be going… “

I stopped and all of a sudden everyone started clapping and wanting more, I felt that I had found myself, I’d found what I do best I was entertaining people and making them smile

Funny coincidence, I went to a reggae club last night in Newcastle, had a couple of MC's rotating on mic
had such a good feel to it, people in the smoking area trying to attract more people in to experience the reggae. such good vibes

Looking forward to the next posts

[MANTIS01]

Yeah, I bet there were good vibes in the reggae smoking area

[Magic817]

On Twitter there is a competition to guess the newest member of pokerstars teamonline....someone has made a guess of Rastafish! Is there any truth in this?

Haven't met you yet Rasta but was on a table near you in a deepstack pre Vegas and the entertainment value of your table antics was brilliant...love people with such passion for the game!

Have you ever been to Passing Clouds? It's just a bit further north in Dalston. It's usually hosted by a guy called Kofi who's band is Afrospot All-stars...
