Hey all,
I'm Just giving you all an update until i can get used to posting regularly. I have made it through my writers block!!!! I had it for nearly months and it was getting on my last nerve.
Now that i am finally through with having writers block I can start on my mixtape. I started and was about 60 percent done with my previous mixtape (Cant take it in Vein Vol. 1) but I ran into a serious case of block when i was forced to focus on my job situation as opposed to my music. My new project that I am going to start is titled "The Perseverance" and is going to have some collaborations with other up and coming emcees.
Although I like the idea of starting a new project, i do not exactly know all that goes into it. I mean from experience and prior knowledge i know what a good finished product should be like but how it actually gets there i dont know...you need to have a mood, some loose concept/topic/purpose for the project and skills but how do you meld that together over the course of a month or two? There are some days and weeks when i feel like partying yet and still there are some days and weeks when life is just too serious for all of that...so where is that balance? What happens when you make half of your CD in a joyful mood with up tempo songs and then you experience something tragic and make nothing but dark sounding songs for the rest of the project? ...Do you just name the CD Jekyll and Hyde?
Hey to all...long time no talk to,
Ok so let me update you on a few things.
I am supposed to be working to save up my money for The Institute of Audio Research. My job situation is messed up because of this broad named Veronica. For the past 3 or so months I've been working as a temp. at this job for Xerox with no problems. Two weeks after she arrives, this dumb broad decides that she wants to complain to our temp agency and on-site manager about me. She says that i sabotage her jobs and don't like her, amongst other things (mind you that this broad is damn near 40 with two kids). It's quite obvious that i wasn't sabotaging any of her jobs because i took it upon myself to train her so that she could learn in a week, everything that i learned in 3 months.(i figured that the broad should be used for something instead of just sitting there all day long twiddling her thumbs). To make a long story short, my contract just ended with that job and my agency hasn't been too excited about finding me another one. I've been applying to every job opening under the sun but that's a long process (waiting on a job to call you back).
As if that isn't enough drama, yesterday I was robbed for 600 bones....6 Stacks! I was in Brick city around where i used to live and someone ran up on me at the ATM. I actually was getting the best of the dude in the wrestling match that ensued, but ole boy wound up pulling out the heat (gun). What killed me about the situation was the stupidity that this guy displayed. He didn't take my cards and he did this in broad daylight. Plus, this guy said a cliche line when he pulled out his gun. he said, "yeah, you're not acting so tough now tough guy!" I was thinking in the year 2007 you couldn't come up with anything better to say during a jack move????
I personally hate robbers, jackers, stick-up kids...whatever you want to call them. I believe that they are the scum of this country, if not earth. We live in a capitalistic society where damn near anyone can pull together some resources in order to set up shop and and offer a service/ product for some money. Hell, even a drug dealer sells a product for a profit. Thats the meaning of grinding...Meanwhile these faggots decide that they are too much of a bum to get a job and to lazy to jump on a hustle. Instead, they decide to run up on someone who's worked hard for theirs and take. its all circumstantial. The opportunity presents itself (the stick-up kid catches the blue collar worker sleeping or the white collar worker thinking that "shit is sweet"), and they decide to take advantage of him by using leverage (gun or any other weapon that one can find threatening for one reason or another).
Maan I'm upset than a ma phucka right now typing about this. I'll talk to you all later.
