Do you like it? Why must it happen? Is it necessary? Yes! That's why this will be my last post like this.
I love being 34. I would like to thank all my family, friends and haters for all the support. In 34 years I have learned life is short and to live it to the fullest. My Best (est) friends in the whole wide world took me to Sunburt Cow in Alphabet City NYC for bottomless brunch. Service was good, the food was good but it wasn't a fat boy portion. The only bad thing was the size of the venue and the large crowd in it but Dj Daddy-O did his thing. Then I got my pool shark on (billiard @Amsterdam Billiards). As usual I was kicking booty and I got to watch the Game there (Green and Yellow, Green and Yellow, Green and Yellow). I am very blessed to have these people in my life.
I made my famous Willie burger last night for dinner and my wife never thought I could burn as well as I do (I know I feeling Myself ). I think I should have been a chef in another life. I have been cooking every weekday since the beginning of the year. I'm enjoying it but damn those dishes! It should be a law if you eat from it you wash it. I would continue to type but I got to do dishes.......................
Aloe Blacc a young new old artist sign to indie label called Stone Throw Records. I notice his song on a certain channel I will not mention (Centric-Bet/I know I know I'm not hater though ). During a 45 second commercial illustrating new soulful artist. Before I continue I must say that I dislike the word Neo-Soul but that a hole other blog. "I Need A Dollar" is Aloe Blacc first single (off this album) and song that caught my attention. The chorus is very catchy and he has deep voice similar to Anthony Hamilton. The video is as dope as the song, it takes place in HARLEM OOOWWWW. ( Please Excuse me I had a moment) While watching it I felt as if the present time had its own renaissance movement going on. While doing my research on this young man, i come to find out he has been out for several years. ( Dah what kind of DJ am I ) With this new discover of talent I would suggest that you give Aloe Blacc a listening too. It's always refreshing to hear someone to put out heart filled and fun music into to world.
Is there progress made every day or per week? How can you measure it? Writing a blog every day is very challenging me, I feel like I'm critique my daily goals. Which can be kind of a premature look towards my life of success. Today I turn on the radio to Power 105 and I learned that my services were needed. As long as there are Dj's out there who don't care about their craft. The jobs will be available but I have to learn how take them.
OK I'm feeling better but I haven't change the world. I've allow my self to get distracted by any and everything. I haven't move into attack mode yet. I 'm still in a very melancholy approach, like I know what I am doing. Where's a fire when you need one. Before I left the plantation, one of piers challenge me to be on somebody radio station in 6 months. I know it possible but not like this!
In the last week I've submitted several mixes to different venues and I haven't receive any feedback. I know there's hundreds of Dj's in NYC but i'm better than them. ( That's Right I Said it) My next position is hitting the streets. I think I've been taking it light for the first week. This first week has felt like a long one but i looking forward to this week........................
Not feeling any better but when the tuff get going the going gets tough
First thing first pause I've been feel like something stuck in my throat all day. I don't have the slightest idea whats wrong with me. I never felt like this before. I didn't really feel up to typing but I promised myself.
Today I learned that communication is tougher and harder than love ( lol it's starting to feel like diary). No body wants to be wrong, in their own or others eyes. I don't know why the truth is a hard thing to swallow. I pride myself on being a truthful person (thats why I tend look straight into a persons eye when I'm having a conversation). When I tell a story I give both sides of the story. So why do people try tell a story they leave out the most important part of the story to make them self look better. If your wrong say your wrong and embrace it. Don't run from it.
Even though my job has changed, I still feel like I'm still on the same schedule. For some reason after dinner I'm always ready to close my eyes. I haven't embrace the hustle yet to it fullest, yes I have taken some initiative to practice and record mixes but it's not totally ready yet. I know what you are saying to yourself as you are reading this may be I'm being kind of hard on myself. I'm not trying to be an ordinary musician (DJ). You know the type that break in, then forgets the struggle. My Name Shakesphere which stands for shake the world through the universal language. It's my destiny!
Can you share a dream? I use to believe that you could but today(yesterday), I realize that dreams are for the selfish. I finally told my brother what I wanted to do with my life ( really he did most of the talking) and his response was 80/20 in favor of taking the safe way in life. At first I didn't know how to feel, if I was disappointed on his response or relieved to finally hear what he had to say. The only conclusion I could come up with is that it feels good to become a Man. I prefer to choosing my destiny and deciding what I want to do with my life. Life is too Short
