Where have all the videos gone?? Nothing but "reality" television shows. We say that music is having a slump in sales due to lack of support and love for artists....i disagree slightly. I think it's because there isnt anywhere on television to watch or get the scoop on new music!! The corporations are trying to destroy the music industry and strip away the avenues for artists to promote their music. The upside to this is that it is now easier than ever to get music to the world via the internet...so full steam ahead. Lets take back what the corporations should have never taken in the first place.

i have FINALLY reached the end of what has turned out to be a VERY long road. I guess i technically cant use the word "end" seeing that i still have a LOOOONG way to go until i am where i want to be. My very 1st album is now finished completly. This is a project that is 5 years in the making. I took my time to make sure everything was as perfect as it could realistically be. I have grown a lot since i first began writing songs and i am now prepared for everything that should decide to make the mistake of falling onto my path. So its full-speed-ahead for me....and no looking back. Wish me luck...its time to chase a dream!!

bit by bit i break down//trying to reconnect with what i once was//i dont want to lose the things that i have//honest in my roots, but leaves are whats judged//shaking in my boots but my nerves i must ignore//i'm a baby in this world and i must explore//hand on the knob...key fits the lock//but i'm no longer sure if i trust this door//i'm lost...//and where do i turn when the map says all roads lead this way?//carrot on a string, swing in my face//hypnotize my eyes to win this race//i'm suprised that i can keep this pace this long//it's easy when the things you chase arent wrong//but what happens when you reach that place//and realize that a carrot doesnt match your taste?//...(to be continued)

Another night with her ghost sitting in my room...calling my name as i struggle to ignore her beautiful eyes and block out the sound of her voice. I avoid sleeping...she loves to tease me in my dreams. If i could avoid thinking, i would. She floods my brain with the constant reminder that she is no longer here. It's been over a year now...and i still melt at the mention of her name. What i wouldnt give to bring her back What do you do...when you are in love with a dead woman?

I was gazing out the window yesterday...and there was a fly on the same side of the window as I. It kept flying into the glass constantly for several minutes. I could only imagine what was going through his mind...but then i realized that he and i had a lot more in common that i thought. We both knew exactly where we wanted to go...we both could see exactly where it was that we were headed...but there was just something in the way that we didn't quite understand. i opened the window for him and watched as he flew away. the only difference is that i dont plan on asking for someone to open the window for me...i intend to break the glass...

Part of me wants to say fuck it...the rest of me cant. I try to trick myself into thinking i dont give a fuck..but i'm only being an idiot in doing so. I try to act like none of it ever happend, like it was all a dream...but my dreams are more reality than my actual life. I act like i have everything in the world...but on the inside, i'm nothing without you. So all i can do is brace myself for another day of not hearing your voice...and not seeing your face. Its back to being alone...

i still love you...

I'm sitting in the studio right now. Just got finished recording a song called "Blow." I'm gonna post it soon....but anyway...the album is almost complete. I think i'm gonna call it "Life...as i know it." Let me know what you think...o yea, i'm gonna have a ton of new photos soon because i have a photo shoot at the end of this month. Also i might get a little spot in XXL magazine...gotta keep my fingers crossed for that one. By the way....this blog was kinda pointless...unlike my usual blogs...sorry. I'll write something better 2morrow. Love yall!!!

So many dumb things on my mind//so many clouds that block my eyes//so many brick walls in my way//so many days where I don't see shine//so many ways but I can't pick one//so many tasks that I can't get done//so much pressure that I'm on my back//layin in a casket just for fun//but I walk always and I sing all day with my head held high cuz I can't complain//I still got thoughts and I still got breath and I still got blood running in my veins//it can't get worse than it just became//drop my head and accept the blame//live my way just as best I can//enter every mind and inject my name......//

So I'm on my lunchbreak at work....and I think I'm sitting alone at the table with my notebook in front of me, writing a song. So I say to myself "I'm not really feeling this part..."..and I said it out loud, as I often do when i'm alone. A co-worker of mine comes from behind me and goes "who are you talking to?" I look at her and go "myself, I guess." She gives a grin and says "that's crazy man. You should get that checked out." At that moment I realized how crazy SHE was. Peep this....on her lunchbreak, she calls home. And sometimes when she hears her dog barking in the background, she requests that the dog be.....get this....PUT ON THE PHONE!!! Now, I never thought about it like this before....BUT WHY THE FUCK DO WE TALK TO PETS? Atleast when I talk to myself I understand what-the-fuck I'm saying...you know? When she talks to her dog, the dog has no clue what she's saying...it just wants to be fed. So yea, I talk to myself....all the damn time. But if you call me crazy, then I'm no crazier than any pet owner on this crazy-ass planet. That's right, I said it. It talk to MYSELF. So the-fuck what... Ok, I'm done....**breathe**....how is everyone doing??
