Hey,
Sorry that I haven't been on to update. Here is why,
1. My desktop died right before I went to Beijing
2. I got sick after I got back from Beijing
3. It was really cold here last week, and it was so warm n comfortable in my bed
4. I have been house hunting for the new falcon's nest. i have found it :)
5. all my favorite TV shows have resumed...currently on True blood...
But mostly, I just want to take sometimes off to really relax. For the pass 3 months, I have taken up this sorta manager kinda role for my boys on the road. It was fun and we have achieved alot together, but sometimes I get caught up and lose sight of who I am. I mean, just the other day, we were sitting around, sharing a pizza, and talking about this music business and I was so caught up on the business side of things, that the boys had to stop me and say '' you are still going to be an artist, right?''
I didn't have an answer to that question....
After I got home from Van's house. I opened my macbook and just started web surfing... I started with the billboards and the latest news on some of my favorite musicans... than i went on to youtube to and than I came aross this Robin Thicke interview he did after he was nominated for Best Male R&B. He was talking about why he think his first album failed. and one thing that he said that really stuck with me was when he said ''....maybe its the truth is the only thing thats gona work for me''....
I was groomed and trained to be a businessman and I know that if I do go into business, there is no debt that I will be great at it. But the truth is, i still love music and i love doing what I am doing now. Performing, working, hanging out with people I love, doing what we love, TOGETHER. There is more than one answer to that question and no matter which answer I pick, I will never know whether if it is the right one until it is revealed to me....
so, I am once again free... free to love... free to be who I am... free to be who I want to be...
Artist first, Evil businessman later
