Man oh man...

So yesterday, I had to call EMS to come pick me up and take me to the hospital. For some odd reason, my heart rate sky rocketed on me. At first, I thought I would be ok on my own. However, it didn't stop going up, so I dialed 911. I believe that it peaked maybe around 180 something while I was sitting still. Needless to say, I was scared...for my LIFE. When my hands, feet, and neck went numb, A few thoughts went through my mind. The first thought that flashed through was.."What if I don't walk out of here?"


....


like for real, i didn't think I was gonna make it. seriously. But you know, a wise dude told me one day, "The things that REALLY matter in your life, are the things you think about when you're taking your last breath."

I didn't think about anything material...my parents, my sister, those who are close to me...my relationship with God...those were the things that hit home with me...

But here I am...God provided me with a slap in the face and said WAKE UP! So there are some things in my life that I definitely have to change. First of all, no more alcohol. I'm not an every day drinker, but I'm dropping it all together. Luckily, I don't smoke anymore. I know that would have complicated my situation a lot worse. I'm also going to change my eating habits. I'm NEVER going to BURGER KING EVER AGAIN!! not EVER! I think their sweet tea had something to do with it too. This is the 2nd time I had to call EMS in less than a week after I ate there. no lie. The Doctor said no caffeine. I usually don't have caffeine like that, but once again, I WAS drinking some sweet tea from BURGER KING. runteldat


My dad told me that I needed a woman around. He said "son, God put man and woman here for specific roles. The woman is to take care of the man and the man is to provide for the woman and the family. Boy you need a woman to take care of you."
lol

He's right though...lol

But anyways, I wanted to thank GOD for letting me live a little longer. Obviously I've got some work He needs me to do, so I need to jump on it. Thanks to Aiken EMS for taking care of me on the way there. Thanks to Mr. Jackson for keeping me in good spirits. Thanks to my parents for being there as they ALWAYS are.

But anyways, I got a great concept for a song now too. You'll hear it soon.

March 1st-New ideas, New outlook, Same Mission

Ok...
So first off, I'm still want to give the people good quality music to listen to. I'm working on a few projects right now but I really feel like, its time to settle down and work on my own stuff with a select few people that I'm working with right now. Just because it will give me time to develop as a producer. As of March 20th, I'll be shutting things down in order to go ahead and move forward with the project I have in mind. Any previous obligations that I stated would be continued through this time, I'll be able to continue working on...yet the amount of time devoted to them will be decreased. I know it may cut down on my current business, yet it will help me move forward. I'm looking to the future right now, and I have to in order to become the person that I want to become. With my schedule stretching me out the way it is and the deadlines folks are setting for themselves, it's just too many conflicts.
With all the ideas that I've got in my head, I think its time to go ahead and let them out. Hopefully it'll give the audience an idea of what ,not only what I'm thinking, but also what I'm capable of doing in the studio. I'm all about quality right now, and I feel like I have a long way to go. But in order for me to give YOU the best, I have to be the best that I can be.




But in the meantime, be sure to keep a look out for Mike Diablo's United Loan commercial on Foxie 103 and Power 107 that I produced and his new single "Ain't I Cool" will be hitting the streets soon.


Make sure to check out the new hit by me, B.Moses, and Mr. Jones called "Do It To It". Here's the link where you can download it for free:

Yep Yep

Dilemna

I have to get over the edge in this situation. Like I want to be able to do this music thing full time, but the money that “potentially” could come in isn’t fully guaranteed. I can see it right on the horizon, but the key is getting over the edge. I’m going to keep pushing forward though. So many people quit when the finish line is just around the corner. So I got my Diddy game on right now…can’t stop won’t stop…I just know that the time i’m spending at one job would be helpful in meeting the production I want to meet at my other job. lol

"It's Bout Time"

So I've finally decided to do a full fledged album. I'm not even dipping into the mixtape scene. I feel like that's a waste of time right now. I've got a pretty good idea about what i want to say and how i want to deliver it throughout the whole CD. I would tell the idea that I have, but I kind of want to surprise everybody with the theme of the album. So on to the other stuff. I know I'm going to get my homeboy DJ D Souff to do all the artwork for me. This dude does his thing with graphics and mixtapes. Glad I got him on the team. I been saying I was gone get him to do something for me for a while now..and "It's Bout Time" for that. lol. Anyways, I've already got some of the songs for the album done already. I'm not going to say which ONES...but you can catch a sneak peak of some of them at Some of the songs are a "explicit" but most are not. Thats another thing I have been a little conscious about lately...so I'll be doing 2 albums actually. A clean album and an uncut album. They'll be pretty much the same, but they'll both have specific bonus tracks on each. I want the kids to be able to listen too ya know! Well, that's all for now. Everybody be blessed and take care of yourselves and each other!

yep yep

Just another day at the job pt 2

So there may be some changes at the job. They are thinking about moving some folks to full time. I would love the money, but my schedule is great for having time to make music. The only way I would really be able to keep things going how they are going now as far as my off schedule is concerned, is if I start working during the day time. Then I would be able to handle my music business in the evening.

Well we'll see what happens.

Anyways, I hate when people from your past just pop right back up like things are good between y'all. I mean, I don't hold any grudges, but its certain types of drama that you always try to avoid. The drama that SHE has following her is not anything that I want to get involved in....correction...the drama SHE has followin her is not anything i WILL be getting involved in. Unneccessary and uncalled for.

I've been teaching my self piano for the past couple of weeks. I see progress within myself which is a GREAT thing. I decided to go right back to the beginning of things. Teaching myself to read music. The next thing I'm going to do is learn a little bit of music theory. Got to get my chord progressions down! Really though, I'm just trying to perfect my craft. The hard work is paying off now, but I will really see results once I keep moving forward.

Another thing I noticed. It's funny how some women talk about men who don't care if they are in a relationship or not. They may say they have a man, but the guy that approaches them doesn't care and still pursues. It's crazy at how many women don't care that a guy is in a relationship either. You can tell them you have a woman, and they continue pursuit, trying any and every which way to get you to fold into temptation. Not saying that all women do this though, but there are quite a few out there. Maybe this is one of the reasons that women cannot get along with each other. To my fellow men out there, DO NOT FOLD. The grass is not greener on the other side if you are already happy. You do not want to be with a woman who cannot respect your relationship. What makes you think she will respect the relationship that you try to start with her later on? Think about that first!

I just seen a funny commercial on CNN for manure.org. I can't even explain it. Y'all would have to see it. If I find a link, I'll post it ASAP.

Til next time.

So much on the mind

So today for some reason, i feel like I'm trying to "conform" to society too much...trying to fit in. It's got me depressed a bit. I don't want to fit into a "box". It takes away from what defines me. But I feel the devil putting things into my space that are tempting me right now. Some of them are easy to ward off and some aren't. I'm still working on it. Only thing I DON'T like about it is that it's affecting my music...affecting my creativity. So I'm taking a little break for a few days this weekend.

Another thing that just randomly came across my mind...you know how you have to sometimes cut people loose in order to progress yourself. Not that they are bad people, but you just can't have them around for a particular reason because it will hold you back. Well what happens when you realize that you are that somebody that someone close to you had to let go because you were holding THEM back. I know, me personally, in that situation I just proceed to evaluate myself and then find out where I need to improve (if i feel improvement is needed...sometimes you and that person are just not on the same path). But even us guys have emotions sometimes...especially when it's a woman who decides that you aren't what she needs in her life...after so long.

This isn't something that happened recently, but recently I've been really thinking on if there are any good women around me and what does it take to have one in my life. I realized that she was a very good woman, but there were circumstances that I felt I could not deal with and she felt there were things in her life she wanted to improve. Thinking about all this has popped her up in my mind..maybe to remind me that I don't need to backtrack and try to settle for anything and anyone just to say I have someone. But I digress...and to put it simply...I miss her and the things she used to do for me in all aspects of life...

With my music, I have a couple of options I would love to pursue, but I have to make sure that the people I deal with on a daily basis are those who I feel are really wanting to MAKE MUSIC...not become famous or just try to shine and get a spotlight. Of course I want to make money from what I do, but I also want to make GOOD music. Something that everyone can listen to...and i mean REALLY listen to. the actual MEANING OF MUSIC is being lost. I'm trying to find my own meaning and inspiration. I just want to make sure that I direct it in the right direction. I know I will...just need to pray about it and stay focused.

Anyways, those are just a few thoughts that came across my mind.

ya'll have a blessed day.
