Found my freedom.
Ahhh, I'm feeling great! Got off work around 730am and went skating when I got home. Nothing major... just around town. Thought I was gonna get flicked by the police for waxing a ledge haha they kept driving by and giving me the stinky eye but fk the police haha this ledge was way too gnarly to pass up!
Got home, took a shower, and took a nap. Woke up and did a few things around the house blah blah blah hahaha I'm about to completely overhaul the website so stay tuned. I've learned a lot about myself this past year.. and now it's time to reflect that.
I'm reorganizing my Life around, and it feels awesome. I'm ready to move on from all the bullshit... and continue focusing on the positive things that I've got going for me. "Love can be sordid only if you work at it." - Brooke McEldowney, 9 Chickweed Lane, 05-10-2006

Hope will heal us all.
I had such a great day off yesterday!! I ended up going out to eat with one of the fellas, and then ended up shooting some pool at night ;-D
YES this is going to be another short post haha I'm just chillin' out and playing some video games before I goto work. Pretty uneventful day, but sometimes.. those are the best. "Treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster." - Quentin Crisp

Hahaha you make me laugh. Yes, YOU.
It's so funny when people put forth effort to contact you.. to tell you how unimportant you are to them. H A H A H A what sweet, sweet irony?
If I'm so unimportant to you.. then please explain why you're even contacting me. Or better yet, thinking about me at all?? Really? Because I'll be honest... every day that goes by, you are the LAST thing to ever cross my mind. And it's great.
I will never understand some people, and their ability to be so self-absorbed; but at the same time.. lack any real personality of their own at all. I'm sorry if MY blogs are "stupid" to you... but if that's really the case then don't read them. It's that simple. Don't go to MY website and click MY link to MY blog and read MY words and thoughts haha and then go to MY page on MySpace and send ME a message about how boring I am HAHAH why not do something for yourself, for once. Please? Get a fkn hobby or something. So worried about ME when you don't even know who YOU are haha it's sad, really.
But the more I find myself even thinking about these things.. the more I realize they aren't even worth being thought of. Infact, it's not even worth the air in my breathe to speak on, nor the energy in my fingers to type. In actuality, you're just another lost soul.. drifting around, clinging onto anything that gives you a feeling of purpose. Anything that will "want" you... even if just for a second. When really, we all know that feeling of "want" will eventually fade away (like it always has) and it will leave you alone and uninteresting (like you always have been)
There ya go, how's T H A T for a boring blog entry for ya ;-)
In other World news.. I've got the day off work, so I'm going to enjoy it as best as I can! Just got back from Nassau Grille for lunch :-D bout to head to the skatepark for a few hours. YES, I am aware that it's 93 degrees out and YES, I know it's so humid you could drink the air haha.. BUT I WANT TO SKATE!! Hopefully I don't die of heat stroke.
Then again.. I guess it wouldn't be a bad way to go ;-) atleast I'd die doing something I love.. and it'd probably make a few people in the World happy to see me go haha But I doubt they'll get that lucky.
Sorry for being so dramatic today ha sometimes it just rubs off on me. Unfortunately, "Being a little dramatic wins more friends than being boring." - Scott Westerfeld, Midnighters: The Secret Hour, 2004
I get so surrounded by animals and clowns.. that it just feel like I'm in a circus sometimes haha!! Oh well, that's Life. "We all carry around so much pain in our hearts. Love and pain and beauty. They all seem to go together like one little tidy confusing package. It's a messy business, life. It's hard to figure--full of surprises. Some good. Some bad." - Henry Bromel, Northern Exposure, The Big Kiss, 1991

The facts of Life.
Blah what a rainy day haha rain makes me lazy. I got off work around 7am and TRIED to go skating but as soon as I got outside it started raining :-/ so I just did my work out at home and went to bed.
Woke up around 2pm and it was STILL raining haha so I guess that cancels my plans of hitting up the park today. I may not be a pro skater but I really am IN LOVE with skating again haha I think about it alllll the time now. It's almost taken over rap as my favorite hobby haha!! :-O not to say I can't love both hah
"Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best." - Henry Van Dyke
So since I couldn't skate (damn you rain) instead, I made some chicken burritos and watched that new movie Watchmen. It was a pretty intense movie that seemed to go on fooorrrevvver haha (and I kinda got a little lost in the plot) but it was enjoyable.
I want to learn Portuguese. Random, yes... but I wanna do something I've never done before. I know a little bit of Spanish and a little Japanese but I keep hearing these commercials for that software Rosetta Stone and it really makes me wanna learn a different language. "Eliminate something superfluous from your life. Break a habit. Do something that makes you feel insecure." - Piero Ferrucci
Who am I kidding?? I still have a book to write hahah
Long days = short blogs
Time to relax a little bit before work whew it never stops rollin' hahaha I'm just still tryin' to stay positive and grateful for everything I've got. Let's be honest... up's or down's.. my Life is always pretty awesome :-D

Thats how it goes some times..
Work, work, skate, work, rap, sleep, work, work, thats all I do haha BUT THATS OKAY!! To say the least, I'm exhausted.. and I've still got a full day ahead of me. I haven't had a chance to jump in the studio in a while, so I'm gonna try and record something tmrw.. but we'll see how that goes.
Other than that, Life is going well. I can't wait to have Sunday off :-D
I'ma go eat a sandwich, and chill out before (you guessed it) going to work haha

Be happy :-)
"Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Lood at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy (now).....
There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon past
Whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy"
-Bob Marley, "Dont Worry, Be Happy"

"Nice guys finish last, but we get to sleep in." - Evan Davis
I'd agree, except for the "sleep in" part haha because it feels like I only get about 2hrs of sleep a day haha. I'd say nice guys don't even get to finish at all hahah sorry I know that was random but thats how I feel about it some times ha!
I got off work around 730am.. came home and could only sleep until 11am. Woke up and worked on a few things in the studio.. then went to the skate park again :-D yea yea sk8 or die bro hahaha
Had a GREAT session today, tho!! Spent 6hrs at the park :-) and I was turning heads (literally) it felt awesome. I can definitely tell that I'm starting to get back to the skill level I use to be at. I was pullin' out some big tricks today, and I didn't fall (BIG fall) once. I've started meeting people there, too.. which is nice. It's always good to have a few people in your phonebook to skate with, you know? It's just like anything else.. you feed off each others energy.
I want to start passing out CDs at the skate parks.. tap into that crowd a little bit. Maybe even try and set up a show at a park? Hip hop and skating go hand in hand... the energy, the rebellion, and the swag. I think it'd be awesome to do some live music at a park... get a LOUD system and have cats skating while I'm rappin' haha it's be dope. It'd be pretty easy to set up, too!
After reading that book "The Secret," I've started to harness it's power, and take advantage of the opportunities. I've realized that you can create ANYTHING for yourself.. you just have to think of it and feel it's ability to be truth. Our minds are stronger than we can comprehend. Everything in this World... all began with a thought. From the greatest invention to the most insightful words, to a powerful protest or gathering of the masses. From the deadliest wars, to the instruments that play a love song hah they ALL started in somebody's mind.
Even down to something so small and insignificant as skating. It's all about visualization. "Everything you can imagine is real." - Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)
It's like Kung-Fu hahaha
I'm about to get showered up, and then I'm going out to eat with my sister :-D brother/sissy time haha I love spending time with her. It's so funny how much we use to HATE eachother when we were younger haha our house was like Royal Rumble sometimes
Geez, I love days off haha Jah bless!!!

No one can touch us.
Woke up kinda early today (before 8am) and went for a short jog before making some breakfast. Then, just chilled out around the house before work..
Got home around 4pm and took a shower and all that jazz. Walked up to the library to return some books, and ended up checking out two more :-D I've been quite the nerd recently. I'm gonna keep this post short I still wanna take a nap before I go into work tonight. Life is great, tho... and, I'm very happy with the way that everything is going right now!

Shred it gnar-gnar, bro!!
Whew! Finally got a day off hahah whoohoooo!!! I came home at 8am and just collapsed hah skipped my morning work out. In my defense, I knew I was gonna go skating this afternoon but I still felt guilty as hell when I was laying in bed hah (yeah, I know. I'm a weirdo..)
I woke up around 1130am, and made some breakfast. Whenever I have days off... it doesn't matter how exhausted I am haha I still wake up suuuuper early so that I can enjoy the entire day. I started off by making some lunch and doing some errands around the house. Around 1pm, I chilled out in the studio and wrote to a new beat :-D makin' that hot fire!!! "When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece." - John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
At 3ish my younger cousin came over and we kicked it around the house for a minute. I went to Dunams and Play-It-Again Sports and got a helmet and some wrist guards and knee pads haha and we went to a skatepark in Westland hahaha!!! It was fkn awesome!
For those of you who don't know, I use to aggressive skate... like, 24/7 when I was younger. I mean, I use to have ramps and rails in my garage (my dad is quite the handy man) and I use to do competitions and was even featured in a few videos haha!! Keep in mind, this is yeeears ago. 8th grade, maybe?
Well since I've been working out, I occasionally will go rollerblading around thru town and it's got me thinking more and more about skating haha so I decided fk it I'm gonna get some pads and hit up a park. And thats exactly what I did hahaha
One thing I will say: after being there for a few minutes I noticed that some kids are amazing!! AND, they made me feel old as hell hahaha but whatever; Tony Hawk is like 40 years old and he's still doin' his thang, right??
Now, I'll be the first to admit.. I wasn't nearly as sweet as I use to be. But keep in mind, I haven't done this shit in almost 6 years? haha I went a few times in college just because the campus was so much fun to tear up.. but even my skates are throwbacks haha got em in 97!
It just honestly felt G R E A T to get out there and do it up. Push myself to the limits. I was real proud of myself, and I think I had a smile glued on my face the entire time hahah!!! Yeah, I fell a few times (banged up my wrist a little, and scrapped my knee) but that's the rules of the game. You NEVER go out there and come home completely unscathed. If so, then you didn't really skate. That's the best part!! Visualizing a trick you want to do; and then trying it over and over until you stick it! Yeah, you're gonna fall. But you get back up and try again. And once you finally land, it's the best feeling in the World! "There is nothing like a dream to create the future. Utopia to-day, flesh and blood tomorrow." Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885), Les Miserables, 1862
I think I'm gonna start making it (atleast) a weekly thing. It really felt awesome to get out there again... "shred it gnar-gnar, bro" haha!! At first I kinda felt stupid and old haha but by the time I left, it was one of the best days I've had in a loooooong time. I was talking to all the younger kids, and kept trying harder and harder tricks hah it was incredible.
Came home, showered up, and then me and my cousin went out to get some food and play some pool. All in all?? An excellent fkn day!!! NOT looking forward to going back to work tmrw (gotta work a double at both jobs) but atleast I got Wednesday off :-D and you can already guess what I've got planned.

Sunday, August 2
Hope you got ya lunch packed.
Busy as fk today haha, so I'm sorry for the short post ha. Worked until 730am this morning... came home and worked out for an hour and a half. Tried to stay awake because I had to go to my second job at 10am. Party on, right? Made some cinnamon and chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, and read my book for an hour or so before I left for the gig.
Got off work a little early because we were slow, so I got home around 3pm :-) took a shower and got changed. My buddy hit me up and I wasn't tired (had caught my second wind) so we went and got some food at Ruby Tuesdays
Came back home a little while ago... decided to work on another new song haha ;-) I've been on some real insightful, chill shit. I like it!! "Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth." - Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
Song of the Day is still gonna be "Good As Could Be" because y'all seem to be bangin' that one out!! Right now, it's ranked at #916 out of 1,719,832 songs! If you haven't checked it out yet, then go and crank it.. and if you've already heard it, go give it another listen ;-) it's worth it.
I'm bout to go lay down and get some winks in before work (again) tonight. I'm real excited to have a day off tmrw haha that goes without saying. Hope you all had a good weekend!!

What you know about that??
We were SO SLAMMED at work :-/ I didn't get home until 9am. whew. Yeah, yeah, yeah.. that's an 11hr shift, folks. But atleast I got some overtime this week.
Regardless of how exhausted I was, I still forced myself to go work out. I didn't do as much as I usually would.. but I figured I might as well go do what I could. Got home, made some food, and passed out on the couch watching the X-Games on TV haha those dudes are nuts.
I had a pretty uneventful day haha just tried to save up some energy for tonight. I work at 10pm... then go to my second job at 10am til 4pm.. then work again at 10pm on Sunday :-( and you know what?? Fk a double, thats more like working a triple if you ask me.
It was nice to relax, tho. I've had a lot on my mind these past few days. I keep telling myself to stay positive, and to let it go.. but it's hard sometimes, you know?? I've got so many awesome things going on in my Life, I just wish I had somebody to share it with.. you know? But they say you can't fully love another until you love yourself so thats what I'm doing I'm just focusing on ME right now. It's all I can do. "The roses, the lovely notes, the dining and dancing are all welcome and splendid. But when the Godiva is gone, the gift of real love is having someone who'll go the distance with you. Someone who, when the wedding day limo breaks down, is willing to share a seat on the bus." - Oprah Winfrey (1954 - )
I've just been so damn busy haha the days fly by so fast!! My weekends don't even seem anything like they use to haha I can remember GOING OUT and partying and enjoying my time with friends haha NOT SO MUCH anymore but thats okay I'm still as good as could be ;-) hahaha! I'm really looking forward to Monday tho.. got the day off, and I've made some plans already for the afternoon AND the evening. It'll be a good day :-D
Time to eat some dinner, and get ready to goto work. Hopefully, we won't be as busy as last night ha. I'm sucha busy boy now hahaha oh well time to grow up. Adios!
"I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying." - Woody Allen (1935 - ) hahaha!
Regardless of how exhausted I was, I still forced myself to go work out. I didn't do as much as I usually would.. but I figured I might as well go do what I could. Got home, made some food, and passed out on the couch watching the X-Games on TV haha those dudes are nuts.
I had a pretty uneventful day haha just tried to save up some energy for tonight. I work at 10pm... then go to my second job at 10am til 4pm.. then work again at 10pm on Sunday :-( and you know what?? Fk a double, thats more like working a triple if you ask me.
It was nice to relax, tho. I've had a lot on my mind these past few days. I keep telling myself to stay positive, and to let it go.. but it's hard sometimes, you know?? I've got so many awesome things going on in my Life, I just wish I had somebody to share it with.. you know?

..and that's Life, baby.
I am seriously in love with my Life right now!! I got some food with my sister last night, and then came home and read for a few hours. Actually feel asleep at a decent time (around 1am) and got some much deserved rest :-) woke up at 9am tho haha
Somehow, I'm coming down with a cold. blah. Summer colds suck haha got me feelin' sicker than a dog haha but I've been chuggin' down this hot tea, and eatting cough drops like candy hah!!
I was screwin' around on the computer and found a JAZZY beat that I couldn't turn off repeat haha so I decided to write to it. Hadn't written a song in a while but it felt (and went) great!! Before I knew it... I had 2 verses and a hook finished :-D so I figured might as well record it, right?? Jumped into the studio and before noon had made a hit record.
I just uploaded it to my SoundClick page and made it the Song of the Day. It's called "Good As Could Be" and I'd love to hear your feedback on it! I reeeaally like this one :-D it's so heartfelt. The beat is some smooth, hiphoppy shit. The hook is real hypnotizing. And the verses are pure poetry, no way around it. The song reflects my new found positivity, and showcases how happy I am with my Life. "Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
After I finished the new track, I made me and my dad some lunch. Did some errands around the house, and then sat in my backyard in the shade and worked on my book :-D what a great day!! I see the World so differently now ha I find beauty in everything I look at. I was looking at the birds fly around for about an hour today haha just watching them and the squirrels and the clouds and the trees. Life is gorgeous. It's breath-taking!
I'm bout to take a shot of NyQuil and get some rest before work. Hopefully I can kill this cold before it starts haha ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND folks!!

I'ma go and keep it going.
Work went good last night... got outta there around 7am. Came home and went rollerblading for an hour, and then worked out for a little bit before going to sleep. I woke up around noon, which was great. Gave me plenty of time to get things done :-D
I made some lunch and did a few errands around the house, then headed uptown. I always feel like such a beatnik in that coffee shop haha but fk it, right? I got a lot of work done on my book, too!! I'm gonna sit down with my editor on Monday and go over what I've got so far. He's been doing some research too, so I'm real excited to see what we can come up with!
Talked to somebody that I haven't talked to in ages (it feels like) but it was nice :-D
I've gotten a lot of messages about that book I read. I learned about the Secret thru a friend from high school. Honestly, we weren't even that close in school haha and she's since moved down to the Caribbean haha but we talk online. I had told her how depressed and frustrated I was with my Life, and she told me to read it. And as I've said, it's been Life changing!! Goes to show you how people that seem insignificant can make a major impact on your Life.
With that being said.. I dunno HOW you know me or WHY you read this blog but take it as a sign. I could never repay the favor that friend did for me but I can try and pay it forward!
One of the major themes of this book is visualization... and, being able to manifest things into your Life by thinking of them as real. Feeling as if they already exist. For example, when I think about this book I'm writing... I don't worry about what I'm going to write next. Or, how I'm going to get it published. I just think about holding the book in my hands. I visualize the embossed artwork on the cover.. and I can feel my hands opening the book and fingering thru the pages. I can read the words. From that, the book has been practically writing itself!!
I know it probably sounds insane... but it's the truth! And it works with everything!! Visualize what you want and where you want to be, and your mind will take you there!! "The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind." - William James (1842 - 1910)
I've got the night off, so I'm bout to go meet up with my sister for some dinner. I must say, these past few weeks has been awesome for me. I can really feel my Life coming together into something beautiful. Pulling itself into exactly what I've always wanted :-D and each day I wake up excited to see where it will take me!

I'm happier than ever (don't worry about me)
There's something liberating about hard work. Physically pushing yourself to exhaustion. Mentally going for hours and hours. It's tiresome, but it's equally incredible! The gratification I feel after working a long day at both jobs... it's indescribable.
I got off work this morning around 730ish, and went for a nice long jog in the rain. The rain felt so cool on my skin I only stopped ONCE to walk a block; whereas I usually walk a block after every 5-10 blocks I run. Today I just kept going. Like a machine. Kept pushing. Kept telling myself GO and kept telling my legs to M O V E even though my muscles felt like they were on fire haha like my veins were pumping battery acid! My bones were screaming at me haha begging me to stop but I couldn't. And, it felt great. Got back home and banged out 200 push-ups and then took a shower.
Shaved the beard off today ;-) had to for my job. It's weird tho, I haven't had a clean face since I was able to grow a beard haha but change is good.
I laid around in bed for an hour or so and read my book before going in to the second job :-D we were super busy so time flew by and before ya know it, 2pm rolled around and I was headed home. Once I got home, I ate some lunch and finished that book "The Secret" that I've been reading. It's honestly life changing and (again) I recommend it to you all!!
It has taught me a LOT about how to deal with things that get thrown at you. Sometimes, life doesn't seem "fair" haha but that's the wrong way to think about it. "Retribution often means that we eventually do to ourselves what we have done unto others." - Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
When you really open your eyes, and reshape your thinking... you realize the intense power of the Universe and how it uses the natural laws of attraction to give us everything we ask for!! If you spend all of your time, dwelling in negativity, than you will be drawn to negative people, events, & circumstances. If you instead choose to focus on life's positive forces, then you will find a whole new World of opportunities. You can't allow yourself to be trapped in your surroundings. JUST KNOW, real power comes from with-in. We are divine, and only we are the creators of our own destiny!!
"Follow your bliss, and the Universe will open doors for you where there were only walls." - Joseph Campbell
It's as simple as doing what makes you happy. What makes you smile? What gives you joy? Whatever it is... DO IT! Because, if you are constantly living in a state of joy and happiness, you will only attract more positive things to you. People will look at you and ask, "what does he know that I don't?"
It's easy.
Our current reality is only the result of our past thoughts and actions. We're constantly living in the residual. For instance, I use to look in the mirror and say "this is who I am" but that's WRONG!! That's not who I am that's who I was. When you define yourself by your current state of affairs (which are really just the outcome of our past) then you doom yourself to have nothing more than the same in the future. "All that we are is a result of what we have thought" - Buddha (563 BC-483 BC)
You've got to think about who you want to be. Think about what you want to be doing, and where you want to be headed. Then, feel as if you are already there. Don't just wish it into the future, but actually make it your current reality. The mind is a powerful (and often untapped resource.) USE IT!!
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't; either way, you're right." - Henry Ford (1863-1947)
I've gotta go to work soon, but I hope you seriously consider what I'm asking you to do. It's simple. It's confidential. And it will change your life.
Just think about being happy. Just feel happy.
Realize that who you are right now is different than who you were when you started reading this blog. And, who you are right now is different than who you were when you woke up. And, who you were last week is different than who you were last night. And realize that, who you will be an hour from now is different from who you are right now.
But it's all up to you to decide who that is.

My heart is one of a kind.
It was so nice to have the night off yesterday! I stayed up with my friend until about 5am haha talking and catching up on everything thats going on in our lives. It's awesome when you can hangout with somebody you haven't seen in a long time, and it feels like you haven't even missed a beat. Like you just seen eachother the other day hah
But time doesn't exist, anyways. I guess it's all in your heart really. I'm trying my hardest to be Loving and honest and friendly to everybody... regardless of how long it's been since I've seen them. The harder we love, the harder we get loved back. It is not enough to just try and be grateful. You must feel grateful. You must put in that energy. "We do not believe if we do not live and work according to our belief." - Heidi Wills
I'm realizing the power of our own thoughts.. and the laws of attraction. The words "I am.." are some of the strongest statements you can make, but cause you are expressing your feelings and thoughts as FACT. So, instead of saying "I am tired" or "I am angry" or "I am broke" try and use these powerful words to your advantage. Declare "I am happy" and "I am healthy" and "I am abundant" and you will see your day filled with positive energy.
Our reality is all inside of our mind. And what you believe, you will recieve. Remember, "99% of who we are is invisible and untouchable." - R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983)
I lounged around the house today haha finally woke up around 3pm and went for a mid-afternoon jog. Got home and fkd around with my iTunes a little bit... then made some food. I've gotta work 10pm-7am tonight, then 9am-2pm tmrw morning at my second job... and then 10pm-8am again tmrw night! SO with that being said, I'm trying to catch up on some Zzzz's today because I'm gonna need em!!!

I've learned from my mistakes
Maaaaannn.... a handful of people called off tonight, so work was AWFUL!! Haha okay it wasn't that bad, but I did end up putting in a 10hr shift just to get everything done. On the bright side, I stayed so busy that the time flew by! Got off work and went for my morning work out.. then came home and collapsed in my bed :-D
I'm still "new" to this job technically but my managers seem to love me already, and all of them have individually expressed that it's nice to have me on the team. A couple of co-workers even mentioned that they love working with me because they know things are going to get done! HAHA felt great to hear, honestly. Everybody gets along real well (for the most part) and my work actually feels appreciated there. It's nice.
I've just tried to stay focused on being positive.. and I've noticed how it's affected my life already! People at my jobs are always telling me: "you're way too happy to be here" haha but WHYNOT?! Some people would love to have a job why can't I be grateful for mine?? It's truly amazing how powerful your positivity can be. Even something as simple as a smile. Or when people ask you: "How's it going?" I use to always just respond "ehh, it's going" and laugh it off haha but now? It doesn't matter whats been going on thru-out my day; if somebody askes me "how's it going?" I tell them Great! We should be happy that somebody even takes the time to ask!!!
Some people seem so caught up in their own negative energy that they create a miserable World for themselves. Life is only what you make it, folks. I've learned that the hard way.
"How can you ever expect somebody to enjoy your company, if you don't enjoy your own?" - James Ray
After I woke up, I spent some time reading.. and then headed up to the coffee shop in town to work on my book a little bit. Did some online promotion, and updated the website. I still need to work on the calender, and the e-store. It was pointed out to me that I should include a tracklisting for all the CDs. I think that's a great idea and I'm going to get that done ASAP!!
My dad went outta town for the night, so I made a pizza for me and my mom to eat for dinner. I spent all day, thinking I had to work tonight... but while I was in the kitchen I checked my schedule and WHOOHOO realized I had the day off!! It completely took me by suprise haha! Around 8pm, my sister and her fiance stopped by the house; so I got a chance to chill out with the family. Her wedding is coming soooo soon I can't believe it!! We're all grown up now, that's forsure. It's been such a crazy, exciting year for my entire family haha!
Now? I'm just relaxing and reading some more of this book :-D enjoying my unexpected day off. I just got a txt from an old friend... I think she's about to come over within the next hour. I haven't seen her in.. probably, 7 months?! DAMN time flys when you really try and think about it haha but it'll be so nice to hang out and catch up on everything. Sounds like we've both had an eventful year hahaha

Some things are just meant to be
After work, went jogging in the rain today haha it was pretty awesome. Got done with my workout and went right to sleep haha I really needed some rest, I didn't get much sleep last night and I worked at both jobs.
Once I woke up, I did a couple things online and updated the websites. Song of the Day is "I'm Straight" a remix of the T.I. song by the same name. The track is a year-or-so old but I still love crankin' it out!! It's an upbeat story about how I've turned my life around.. regardless of the adversity and nay-sayers! The song is off the Son of David mixtape and can also be downloaded online for free.. check it out!!
I've been reading more of this book "The Secret," and realizing a lot about the power of Love and gratitude. I'm learning to love everybody and everything. Even the smallest of things. Even the annoyances. You can never be fully loved until you can really love yourself and love all others! "Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections. For love which hath ends, will have an end; whereas that which is founded on true virtue, will always continue." - John Dryden (1631 - 1700)
I did a few errands around the house today, and then hungout with one of the fellas. I just got a new watch as a gift yesterday (it looks balllllin!!!) so I made my way to the Westland mall to get some links taken out. Since we were in the area, I decided to hit up Famous Daves to get some messy bbq for dinner. Mmm mm mmmm!!! I hadn't eatten there in so long!
It was nice to get out and catch up with my buddy. Good food and great conversation! "One reason I don't drink is that I want to know when I am having a good time." - Nancy Astor (1879 - 1964)
On the way home, stopped a looked at a few houses :-D it's gonna be awesome when I get my own place!!! I can't wait, honestly. I can't wait to move in, and arrange things exactly how I want them haha and paint and decorate and buy a bunch of shit hahahah I literally do not stop thinking about it haha!! I even day dream about mowing the lawn hahaha!! "Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night." - Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849)
This book is teaching me to visualize and to think of things as mine, instead of thinking about how much I "want them." If you only think "someday, I want this;" or "soon I want to get that," then you are forever putting it in to the future. You're putting it out of your reach. Think of it as yours, and you shall receive it!!
Today was my last day working a double until Wednesday :-D so I'll get a chance to catch up on some Zzz's and get a few things done around the house! It's about that time to go pack a lunch and get ready for work, tho. Hope you all had a great weekend and hope you have a good Monday!
Once I woke up, I did a couple things online and updated the websites. Song of the Day is "I'm Straight" a remix of the T.I. song by the same name. The track is a year-or-so old but I still love crankin' it out!! It's an upbeat story about how I've turned my life around.. regardless of the adversity and nay-sayers! The song is off the Son of David mixtape and can also be downloaded online for free.. check it out!!
I've been reading more of this book "The Secret," and realizing a lot about the power of Love and gratitude. I'm learning to love everybody and everything. Even the smallest of things. Even the annoyances. You can never be fully loved until you can really love yourself and love all others! "Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections. For love which hath ends, will have an end; whereas that which is founded on true virtue, will always continue." - John Dryden (1631 - 1700)
I did a few errands around the house today, and then hungout with one of the fellas. I just got a new watch as a gift yesterday (it looks balllllin!!!) so I made my way to the Westland mall to get some links taken out. Since we were in the area, I decided to hit up Famous Daves to get some messy bbq for dinner. Mmm mm mmmm!!! I hadn't eatten there in so long!

Oh no, it never really stops going!
Runnin' on NO sleep hahah I got off work this morning around 7am and went for my usual work out. Had to be at my second job by 9am so I just stayed up and went right after my shower.
I was pretty exhausted by the time I got out of work around 2pm but I had caught my "second wind" and decided to stay awake for a few more hours. The sun was shining... I felt great, and honestly I had a REAL BAD CRAVING for some Mexican food haha so I went out to eat with a buddy and we got a Mexican chicken pizza :-D
After the grub, went house hunting some more. There are SO MANY places out there it's awesome knowing the choice is mine!! It's definitely a buyer's market. Before going home, we swung by the Laurel Park mall and poked around for a little bit.
Between the new house, the new jobs, and everything going on in my personal life... I never would have guessed I would feel this great! "Never say never, for if you live long enough, chances are you will not be able to abide by its restrictions. Never is a long, undependable time, and life is too full of rich possibilities to have restrictions placed upon it." - Gloria Swanson (1899 - 1983)
This book I've been reading has really taught me a lot about the power of possibilities; and the opportunities that exist in optimism! It's easier said than done, but we need to focus more on the immediate moments we occupy, instead of constantly worrying about the future or the past. If you can make a conscious effort to be happy NOW, then every minute you live will be in happiness!! It's like the headlights of a car. They only shine for 100-200ft at the most. But even with the dimmest of headlights, you can drive from NYC to LA in the pitch dark! The same goes for life!! "Take the first step in faith. You don't have the see the entire staircase. Just the first step." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr (1929-1968)
I'm gonna lay down to read, and tryn get some sleep before going to work tonight. Hope you all are enjoying your weekend as much as I am! Don't forget to S M I L E

Put it in motion.
I had to wake up around 730am today to continue my management training at the second job. Not too bad... I was only there for about 5 hours. Seems like it's going to be a cool job, and it'll be really nice to get the experience under my belt!
After work, I came home and jumped into the studio for a little bit. Skipped my workout today :-x but I had a lot of things I wanted to get done!! "Days off" is over haha now it's time to start working doubles everyday.
I spent most of the day relaxing, reading this new book. I'll elaborate more later but DAMN this is interesting. AGAIN: I really recommend you all go find a copy for yourself. It's called "The Secret," by Rhonda Byrne (AND THANKS AGAIN to Ashley for pointing me in the right direction :-D it is as awesome as you said it would be)
Today's new Song of the Day is called "Surf" and it's probably one of my favorite songs of all time. I dunno how to describe the mood I was in when I wrote/recorded this track.. but the music perfectly captures the feelings I had. It's another positive vibe hiphop song with an uplifting, hopeful message. (In my humble opinion) the beat, the hook, and my delivery on the verses all work so well together!!
Took a little time to go house hunting today :-D jeez I really love my life right now!! It feels like all the blocks are falling in to place around me! I've just gotta remain focused, and keep my sights set on where I want to be a year from now. Gotta keep putting it in motion! "The person who makes a success of living is the one who see his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication." - Cecil B. DeMille (1881 - 1959)
Time to take a nap before work tonight! I hope you all enjoy the weekend, and have a little fun for me haha I'll be there in spirit!!! "The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them." - Denis Watley

Too good to be true haha
OFCOURSE I couldn't enjoy two days off in a row haha my second job called me last night and wanted me to start my orientation and training today haha blah I guess it's better to have gotten started instead of waiting for Monday. AND it was early, so I got it done and out of the way.
Last night was a blast!! It was so nice to get out and see some old friends that I haven't talked to in forever... let em know whats going on in my life, and hear all about theirs. PLUS it's always nice meeting new people :-D
After work this morning, I came home and worked out... then took a shower and took a little nap :-) felt nice and lazy hahah but as soon as I woke up, I got back to being productive. Updated the websites, did some online promo, and changed the Song of the Day. Today's song is "Anythang" and it features Devin the Dude and Rick James.
Yes, Rick James!!
I really love the combination of the three of us. Devin kills the hook, and then the little interlude by Rick James (old style Rick) is awesome he really belts it out! The song is all about being appreciative of what you have, and realizing how lucky you are. I've learned that Gratitude is a powerful thing to possess. If you aren't thankful for what you already have... you'll never get what you want! R E A L T A L K
On the advice of a friend from high school, I went up to the library and rented the book "The Secret." I had never heard of it, but she kept ranting and raving about it.. so I figured I would give it a shot. Let me just say, so far it's awesome!! If you've never read it, I suggest you go find a copy for yourself. It's fairly short, and a very easy read. I'm not too far into it yet, but it's already got me thinking a lot!!
After the library, I got a little bit of writing done today; and then headed out to eat with my sister. It was nice, because we both invited some friends and it turned into a giant shindig haha taking over the resturant and eatting together mafia style. Plus, it was a good chance for her to meet some of my friends she's never met, and vise versa. I'm so thankful for all the good people in my life right now!

I deserve a day to relax..
Work went by soooo s l o w today hah but Ahhhh it feels great knowing I have the next two days off :-D I've been workin' my ass off these past two weeks!! AND, I gotta chance to sell some CD's at work today haha stayin' on the grizzy.
Went jogging and then snooozed until noonish. When I woke up, I went uptown and did some promo... then headed to the coffee shop and updated the website. Gotta love WiFi ;-) My dad met up with me and we got some lunch, which was nice. It's always good to hangout with pops.
Song of the Day is "Hold U Down" featuring Trey Songz.. and it's about the perfect type of relationship where your girl supports you thru the thick and thin. It's an old song, but I still crank it out because the hook is so damn hot hah Trey sings his ass off... and, the overall vibe is nice and chill. Ladies, this one is for you
Finished a few things in the studio, and then did a couple errands around the house. I haven't gotten as much done as I wanted to, but I'm definitely enjoying my day off!! About to get cleaned up and go meet up with a couple people for dinner!

It don't take a whole day to recognize sunshine
Ahh.. I had such a great work out today!! I went jogging for, what seemed like, forever. Then I got home and did my work out (some crunchs and push-ups) until my body felt DEAD haha. I'm really falling in love with my morning work outs. I like pushing myself as far as I can haha knowing that it's not going to kill me, the pain seems almost.. enjoyable. Let's me get out all my anger and frusteration haha. Work went by so fast, and I wasn't tired when I got home; so I worked out, showered, and made some breakfast. Watched the sun rise :-D
I worked on my book for a few hours before I decided it would probably be best to try and fall asleep haha sure enough didn't wake up until 3pm hahah
Since I woke up so late, it was a pretty uneventful day. I uploaded a few more songs to the SoundClick, and officially kicked off the "Song of the Day" today. Today's song was "Guarenteed Fresh" a track I did awhile ago but I L O V E it like I just recorded it yesterday hah. It's an original beat too, so I'll probably use it as the single for the "Return of the Redeye" mixtape. It's a song, all about how many songs I have haha and how all my shit is guarenteed to be fresh. Both, fresh like it's the shit and fresh like it's brand new.
For a while there, I was recording 3-5 songs a week!!! hahah It was nuts.
After I updated the website, I did a little promo for the SOTD and then started writing for another collaberation I'm doing. I can't wait to have the next two days off work haha I've got tons to finish up. I've been CRAZY busy but I love it haha already got the rest of this week booked up and then this weekend is going to be packed, too!! PLUS, booked another show for August 8th so I'm gonna post the details about that tmrw. whew It's true what they say: "If you observe a really happy man, you will find... that he is happy in the course of living life twenty-four crowded hours each day." - W. Beran Wolfe
Tomorrows agenda: wake up early, update the website, online promo during the early afternoon, and street team around 4-5pm for a few hours... then back to my place for a studio session. Out for pizza and house hunting with the fellas after 7pm-ish.. then ANOTHER studio session in the evening. I'll probably stay up super late haha so maybe more online promo after midnight?? I dunno hah it'll work itself out!
FOR NOW? Back to work haha "There's no business like show business, but there are several businesses like accounting." - David Letterman (1947 - )

Monday, July 20
Anything is plenty, man.
After a nice, slow, relaxing day at work... I came home and went for a little jog. I've gotta work two more days and then I finally get some time off!! Whoohoo!!! I won't know what to do with myself haha (even tho I've already started a "to-do" list of things I gotta get done)
I've already started to create a little bit of a name for myself at work haha I just like talking to people and I try to have fun when I'm there, thats all. Meeting a lot of new friends, tho. I guess that I've always had that type of personality.. explode in to any new situation and put myself out there haha. "There are two types of people in this World--those who come into a room and say, 'Ah, there you are' and those who come in and say, Well, here I am!" - Frederick L Collins
Got home, and took a shower after my work out; then laid in bed for awhile.. playing on the computer. I got off work a few hours earlier than usual (5am instead of 7am haha) so I wasn't really super tired. Wasted some time doing some online promotion... as always. You know what it is ;-) FINALLY fell asleep
Woke up around 2pm and did a few chores around the house before I headed up to the coffee shop. I feel like such a beatnik when I'm up there haha but fk it they've got cheap Chai tea and free WiFi so I'm there. Uploaded a TON of pictures to my PhotoBucket account so go and check em out if you get bored later... some old, some new. I'm about to do a photo shoot for the new album... gotta get some nice flicks for the promotionals. ALSO; added 14 new songs to the SoundClick haha I'm gonna start doing a "Song of the Day" so be prepared for that!! I've got so many songs that none of you have even heard!!! I figure it's time to start putting em online to give you all a taste of the mixtapes. I've been R E A L L Y pushing myself back in to this music shit. With everything thats going on in my personal life, and everything going on in my professional life... I've been super stressed hah but "Unease lies on the head that wears a crown" so I just need to keep going and going and going and not quit. Greatness is a hard summit to reach. But it all starts with the first step, you know??
Got home around 5ish and chilled around the house until a buddy came and picked me up. Went out and got some dinner before work... talked some business on this house I'm about to get :-D
Insider trading is a mfker hahah!!!
And now, it's about time to go to work. All-in-all, it was a great day! I work again on Tuesday and then I've got Wednesday and Thursday off so I'll be in downtown Plymouth handing out promo and selling CD's. . . if you're gonna be in the area, you should swing thru and say 'whadddup' to me! Before I go, I gotta leave you all with this great quote I just found: "Whether you know it or not, you are already there--You are the beauty, the power, the wisdom, the passion, the knowledge, the fire, the calm, the heart and the soul. You are the Star of your Being...now, all you have to do is let yourself shine!" - Unknown

Sunday, July 19
Head held high, and my names on the line.
I was all excited to get off work and enjoy my Sunday off haha but right before I punched out, my manager asked if I wanted to pick up another shift. They must really like me over there hahaha and I must really like money because I said yes. That makes 8 days in a row now, I've worked. blah :-p
Skipped my work out again and just went straight to bed. I was exhausted!! I really need to quit doing that tho haha I always feel so guilty when I'm laying in bed before I fall asleep.. just thinking to myself: I probably could have still worked out haha it's nothing too extreme and it feels great when I'm finished. I just need to push myself a little extra some days. It's good discipline. "Facing it, always facing it, that's the way to get through. Face it." - Joseph Conrad (1857 - 1924)
It was a pretty uneventful day hah I woke up around 2pm and had some of the fellas come over to chill. Played some video games and made some beats until about 6pm... and then I ate dinner with the family. It was a nice, lazy Sunday haha even though I gotta work tonight. I planned on getting some stuff done today but since I picked up an extra shifted I ended up just relaxing until 8ish :-/ tmrw I'm gonna make a point to get some more things done. I haven't worked on writing my book in a while... been caught up in this music and work.
I officially start my second job next Monday.. which gives me a week of "free time" (when I'm not already working) to get a few things accomplished before I get REALLY busy and start working 60-80hrs a week. Yes... 60-80 hours. Of work. Per week. Can't wait to see these checks haha!! PLUS (after seeing how this new job goes) I might get a 3rd job bartending on Fridays and Saturdays. The opportunity has came up and it would be nice to cash out $700-$800 for two days worth of work. But who knows?? I wanna get comfortable with these two jobs before I take on a third. I know I'm taking on a full plate but theres a lot of things I want right now haha and even more things I need. So, with that being said... it's grind time! "Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else." - James M. Barrie (1860 - 1937)
I've been in a great mood the past 2 weeks and I don't want it to end haha finally starting to feel "normal" again after being so depressed for awhile. It's nice! You know what they say, don't you?? "Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open." - John Barrymore (1882 - 1942)

I just need to push myself a little extra some days. It's good discipline. "Facing it, always facing it, that's the way to get through. Face it." - Joseph Conrad (1857 - 1924)
It was a pretty uneventful day hah I woke up around 2pm and had some of the fellas come over to chill. Played some video games and made some beats until about 6pm... and then I ate dinner with the family. It was a nice, lazy Sunday haha even though I gotta work tonight. I planned on getting some stuff done today but since I picked up an extra shifted I ended up just relaxing until 8ish :-/ tmrw I'm gonna make a point to get some more things done. I haven't worked on writing my book in a while... been caught up in this music and work.
I officially start my second job next Monday.. which gives me a week of "free time" (when I'm not already working) to get a few things accomplished before I get REALLY busy and start working 60-80hrs a week. Yes... 60-80 hours. Of work. Per week. Can't wait to see these checks haha!! PLUS (after seeing how this new job goes) I might get a 3rd job bartending on Fridays and Saturdays. The opportunity has came up and it would be nice to cash out $700-$800 for two days worth of work. But who knows?? I wanna get comfortable with these two jobs before I take on a third. I know I'm taking on a full plate but theres a lot of things I want right now haha and even more things I need. So, with that being said... it's grind time! "Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else." - James M. Barrie (1860 - 1937)
I've been in a great mood the past 2 weeks and I don't want it to end haha finally starting to feel "normal" again after being so depressed for awhile. It's nice! You know what they say, don't you?? "Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open." - John Barrymore (1882 - 1942)
