Hi guys. I really do want to take the time out to thank everyone that is reading or has read my blog until now. If you told me to start a blog I thank you. If you are reading it after you suggested it I thank you twice. I have no idea who is reading it sometimes, anyone I know, but I'm sure I'd find out if I wrote something that pissed someone off.
Or not. This is a forum. I mean if I can't do it on my blog--where can I do it? I certainly can't do it on your blog! :) Anyways that's also what stories are for.
Anyone who was following has seen the growth first hand. The live feed of blogger life. I thank everyone who has seen any of my videos. Shout’s to Rap Radar, All City Chess Club, and every one that posted my Lupe Video. A logo is the next logical step. Logo dolo. Lol.
Big shout out’s to my first interview Steph Jones. I didn’t know what I was going to do or where it was going to go, but it went, and I liked it. Big shout out’s to my first print interview Reesa Renee. I tried to figure out why, besides an afro, I see some similiarites. It's because she's a Virgo. Virgo Babies stand up (not to mention, she got everyone and their mama reading it! Thanks 2x ). Shout outs to all the artists who have allowed me to ask them questions. And the background publicists too.
As for my blog, it is an exercise in using the internet to my advantage, and having a forum to share the truth in a creative fashion. Sometimes I don’t want to write. Writing is trite. Showing a video is the bizness. Sometimes, that is how I am feeling. Sometimes, I just want to have some fun. I like to create things that when I look back at them, make me smile and laugh. The blog has helped me with that.
I’m working really hard to provide for everyone an insight into what it is being a writer. Insight into the different musical acts I have grown to love. I originally thought that the site wouldn’t be optimal showing people from all genres. I remember looking at a site and one post was about Britney Spears, the other about Dolly Parton, the other about Jadakiss. Not the real names, but you get my point. It made no sense. So why do I do it? I do it for all the non-one-dimensional people out there. Look at all of the songs that you have grown to love throughout your existence. Were they all one genre? And if they were, did you have “guilty pleasures” in another genre that you wouldn’t admit to? I bet you did.
What I imagined for my blog was to have different artists from all different genres all over the world who gave me the feeling that I have “Seen the Light.” Some other plane type music. Along with that, I wanted a forum for many one question interviews with famous people from all different walks of life. Outside of what is going on with me, I want it to be a display of the lifestyle that I am living and want to live, as Jonas says, “Living the Dream.” They didn’t make that up I'm sure. I am not done. I have just begun.
This is a site dedicated to the people you will be hearing on the radio in a few months, or a year. Or two years. Or the people that, like M.I.A., really have mainstream success when he or she least expected it; that would be like, two years after dropping her umpteenth album KALA, having "Paper Planes" hit radio and causing a stir. So much for underground.
I question if I would let this go if it didn’t work out. But I’d rather change it up than let go. It’s my borne! If I could create my story right now, it would be girl in the background, girl steps forward, girl shines, girl makes money shining, girl helps others in the background. That’s what I see life to be. Thanks to all that have helped out with this.
And the ones that are reading this. Just wait. It gets better. Because if the best part of your life is your childhood, you see your peak as behind you, and shucks, I feel bad for you. For the most part, adulthood lasts longer. As for me on the other hand, the best is yet to come.
Stay tuned.
