Dual Citizenship
London! I'm trying to come see you in February (Cleo, let's cross our fingers). I need to see the city that I have longed to see since I was a kid. For some random reason, I have forever wanted to see London, England more than anything. I do not know why. It has always been a passion of mine to go there. I feel a sort of void in my life right now; I have no problems financially whatsoever, no problems physically, but yet, I feel like I should be there now. I have a feeling that the second I get there, I will probably pack up everything and live there for some time. It would be quite an tremendous feeling to wake up in my flat, walk outside amongst Londoners, and interact with the culture there. Hell, "she" might be there waiting for me as well.

Lust For Life
I never expected to ever move to Los Angeles; I remember two years ago in college in Maryland and damning the southern portion of my home-state for the few materialistic people I met on campus. I moved here in July, and I have now been here five months. The first few months I was here, I was in awe of how "cool" it was. In the past two months, I realized how all of this Hollywood bullshit can literally drain you. I have come to grips in the past two months that I truly cannot be happy here; I will say that being here has been an experience that I definitely needed.
I remember in college I had the sense of pride and consciousness for life and learning more about the world at large (one of my favorite phrases back then). I remember I used to sit and write journal entries, essays, blogs, manifestos, and poems, and get that sense of excitement and lust for life. I must say that in the past two years, I have not been writing hardly as much as I used to. I found myself going back to reading some of my old entries from years past and seeing the kind of man I was in 2006 and 2007. I miss that person. Somewhere along the way, I let this music business that I have ventured into tarnish my one true God-given gift, my writing ability. I let the bullshit of going out on drunken nights to $5 dollar bill shows amongst the drunks and whores blind me from my one truth medium that speaks through me completely, my writing. I let the arrogance of being behind a simple velvet rope in VIP watching my clientele and even other musical artists perform outshine the one true burning desire that is within me, my writing.
I will continue to put up blogs with music, but from now on, I will go back to my original format for creating this blog in the first place. I will go back to using this blog as my journal; I will revert back to using this website as a place for my pains, anguish, joy, and happiness of my 25-year-old life. I am coming back into the sense of my true self.
God, I'm still so thanksful

In All Seriousness...
I'm serious when I say this:
1) I would rather stay home than go out nowadays.
2) I'd rather be alone than be around people.
3) I cannot stand people that cannot say what bothers them iniatially.
4) I used to write everyday; I cannot remember the last time I wrote anything.
5) I am never satisfied.
6) I am not attracted to typical females (make-up, provocative clothing, etc.)
7) I wish that I could have gotten to know my Uncle Roger more before he was killed by a drunk driver earlier this year.
8) Most times when I am sad, I don't cry.
9) I have never cried harder than the pain I felt when I heard my mother say, "Uncle Roger got killed."
10) I grew up without a silver spoon in my mouth and I wouldn't have it any other way.
11) I feel like there's only 4 women in my life that would never let me down (my mom, both grandmothers, and my Untie Kim).
12) I started this note off to express some harsh thoughts I have, but now, I feel incredible to express these personal elements with whomever is reading this right now.
13) God, IM so thankful!

It's Tha T DoT
Toronto was become a place in the past few years that I have been paying attention to regarding its music scene. With a completely different style of their own (compared to anything else I have heard or better yet seen, Toronto has produced some of my favorite musical artists/bands through my excavations through the musical realms. A band that was sort-of my introduction to the "T dot" was the Carps.
