I realize, it's been a while... wow! Let's see.. what's been going on...
New Years Eve was "it" for me. It was very special because I started to remember what 2008 was all about for me. This time last year, I was dealing with the death of both of my close and very loving grandparents, facing eviction, just had an a car accident, was pissed off about my cell phone being lost in the mail, was stressed out taking 6 classes and working 4 jobs just to graduate on time... but in the mist of it all, all I could keep talking about and thinking about was moving to Atlanta in the summer.
Yet, here I was in Atlanta.
This year, I was in Atlanta, employeed, watching TV, pouting about nothing, getting ready to go out, and was mad that my skinny jeans were not fitting right.
What does that tell you?
Nothing in life is impossible to accomplish no matter how unrealistic your dream may be, if you want it... you can get up and go get it.
I'd never forget the Thursday that I packed up my car, moved to Atlanta with $150 to my name and by the time I got here I only had $50 left. I have only been back to Chicago once since then.
Isn't God good?
I moved down here not really knowing anybody, sleeping on couches, a few times in my car, but never was I hungry, unshowered, or really homeless.
Ain't God good?
So now, here I am trying to not get complacent. You know? I'm content with everything that I have but this is not the end of my journey, this is not the end of me! I came here for a reason and it wasn't because of no dude either. I came here because I believed that this would benefit my career. Ironically, since I been here that's been the last thing on my mind. So now, I'm getting back on track and I really need your help.
Please help support ThaGossipist.com, my new website. All of my blogs (like this one), interviews, album reviews, etc. will all be on this website.
It's time to make major moves in 2009, and I pray that you travel with me on this journey (like a lot of ya'll have been doing since 2006 - I see you!)
I love and appreciate everyone for rocking with me hard. I sooo appreciate you. Let's take this world upside down and grip it by the balls like we run this... but I can't do it without you.
Much love.
