I've tried to blog like a million times.. I'm gonna get a lil out fo sheezy breezy this time  :-).... again this will most likely be not so random paragraphs of how I'm feeling  and  there is a message some one may need to read...This one is inspired by a conversation I had last night about change, music, life, and the start of my  work today.

It's Ending:
The End!~.. K so I am sitting here looking at the Call Sheet for Season Five of HBO's The Wire. When it hit me!~ I have actually done a whole season working on my favorite T.V series.. sweeeeet :-)..  Now there is 11 final days of filming. I watch as the other crew and cast do what we do… work!
I wonder if anyone else feels this feeling of a sweet but bitter countdown to much needed time off. I wonder if the past seasons and events whimsically cross the minds of my co workers.  I am grateful for the experience truly as I try not to mentally poison the atmosphere of others with my thoughts of ..."Oh No ITS Actually Over"...6 months of 12 hour PLUS   PLUS   days… and we have 10 left after this one...The End.. The Wire Is A Wrap... Whoa!~
>>
This seasons gonna be great...straight down to "The Wire".....NOOOOO I can't tell!~  Be sure to Tune in  ;-)<<

They Ended:
 So of course now  my mind begins to wonder.....2007 almost over..4 months left… wow time is flying...within 48 hours of weekends from March til today...**Pat on Da Back** I have achieved more than I thought... I have also lost more than  ever  in my entire twenty-   ahhh   **cough  cough ** years of living lol....In January with all the  twist and turns of Hip Hop-N -Me  in the past....For about fifty minutes, I actually lost the desire for doing what I like to do  alot.. MUSIC...**shrew got that out**  I was really just overwhelmed with work overload I guess... who knows. Later I lost almost all my sounds and several beats due to Hard drive failure....  " Aww   come   onnnn who does that in 2007...????"   *** raises hand***  ..lol.... I lost a cell phone with a bunch of contacts.....I lost a few more things which I care not to mention… lol....but today... 10 days left of filming.. I am   aware of a great beginning.
All those endings just closing chapters in our book of life.. . I say our because
you never know who I know, who will know someone, who knows someone else, who knows you…  and vice versa...we all cousins..:-)

We Begin:
 I am in the final stages of two great projects...... Yes more hard work paying off as we start this beautiful BEGINING   *** yaaaayy****.... I will begin promotion as soon as we finish the projects completly.  Wow!  Many things are in store for the masses. I finally got the hang of the Mpc and connected it correctly to the Motif Rack… once that hard drive went up, I wiped the dust off the brand new equipment and got busy. Still not ready to reveal my concoctions just yet but it's coming. I get back in the studio with the super Engineers in September...and I've started writing scripts>>> with tips from those who write them for HBO...who'd a thought...lol....The connections I made on the set are craaazy...new relationships and networking going on swiftly....I started listening to  "The Secret" last week which coincides with all the years happenings.  CDs which probably helped influence this entry..........CDs which helped me get grounded again as I strayed through the long long road of what appeared life closing in..  Nahup!!!!  (Grand dad's southern way of saying   NOPE!!!)....When I look back with a changed perspective, all the things I thought I lost were  more like closures....Sweet and Bitter endings for a great beginning. I am sure I am not the only one feeling the great shift...the whole global change. There is so much going on in the world.. but in my life I am choosing to see the good beginnings coming from the closures and new exposure..I am grateful for the many talents I have. I am grateful for the Love and support from family and friends. I am grateful I got through the chastening and challenges....

So as they say    ** who  is "they? " ..lol** ..seasons change, people change,...make sure you don't make it hell in the middle. When things start shifting and ending in life.. hold on to something positive within them. Sometimes without those particular changes you can't get to where you have to go. Doors close and open everyday... walk through the new ones and look around....take what you learned from the endings to your new beginnings....

This definitly goes with the state of Hip Hop as we know it.. it's changing/ changed...take what you know and keep getting it in!!.. keep learning your craft.. keep rhyming... keep going in new directions.. keep it raw...just keep it moving. If its moving, it surely isn't  dead! Hip Hop is a genre of music. No matter what musical ending, or change in your career....there will always be room for new musical beginnings!!!...So my friends be grateful and keep expressing!~
