DISCLAIMER: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Hey guys,
I am Jhai....they call me Jhai...and you can call me JHAI! Greetings...and welcome to my blog. People have been telling me I need to get a blog since February! So here I am finally. I must admit, I'm kind of nervous because I don't quite know what to say. But I'm going to try.
During this experience I plan to entertain as I always do and express the truth. My truth and no one else's...MY OWN TRUTHS.
At one point in time or another you may get offended by some of my post and opinions. Let me rephrase that, at one point in time or another, you WILL get offended by some of my post and opinions. I will go ahead and apologize in advance if you get in your feelings about what I say. But please know that I am far too vain to use MY very OWN blog to insult and attack anyone. This party is ALL ABOUT ME. So if you get offended...don't get mad...I don't care if you do...just log off and don't look at my post. Everything I say is all in L-O-V-E as MJ (the greatest entertainer in the world) would say it! This is your disclaimer...YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Now with that being said...Let's get started.
I will give you a little background information on me: My BIO

Born in the small town of Dublin, Georgia, Jhai Norris, the third of six children, turned to music for attention. At the age of 11, she and a friend were featured on the Local TV Station. The performance was so good that producers asked for an encore.
Jhai kept performing. She did auditions and talent shows and pageants. She landed a roll as a graduating senior in the movie “Drumline” (2006) starring Nick Cannon.
In 2005, she moved to Washington DC and landed a spot in The Atlantic Records presents “The series” artist showcase. She performed an original and won. The win led to an introduction of local producers and engineers who worked with artist like Lil' Mo, Genuwine, and who also mixed records for hip hop artists like Freeway from Rock-a-fella Records and numerous other artists in the business. While working with them she laid background vocals for “Hollywood," member of R&B group “Prophet Jones,” local DC Rap Group “Checkmate”, and several other local artists in the area.
Standing nearly 5’9” at a slim 125lbs, she was also invited to model for an Atlanta based Hair Magazine Metro Style, published in 2006. She was also asked to model for Baltimore based photographers Moe’s Art and Design.
Jhai was featured in the film "Made for Each Other" starring Dan and Chris Masterson. And she was also featured as a dancer in "Step up 2 the Streets" out February 14, 2008.
On December 15, 2007, Jhai performed a beautiful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner in front of 20,000 Washington Wizards fans. And on July 5, 2008, she performed the National Anthem again for DC’s 1st Annual Stars and Stripes Baseball Tournament Championship Game.
