sometimes i feel
like everybody’s gone all of a sudden like everybody else knows something i don’t know
sometimes i see pictures of my friends out partying, dancing, smiling enjoying
and i feel like somebody….everybody forgot about lil me
but then i think: did i want to be out? or did i want to be working? grinding?
but then there’s the thoughtfulness of an invitation at all but then i...

hey hey HEY!
it didn’t take so long! i figured out who the silly-of-me object of my lustful desires was in the month of august
you may know him
he’s a man whose ego struts around like rodan’s shadow (ha!)
nah, he’s a sweet guy from down south with a girlfriend the shape of a dancer and the tolerance of a tortoise
at some point i wondered if she had sucked him into her web like a...

emotions can't be wrong
i’m sticking with that line of reasoning right now sometimes i do let my fears rule or guide my emotions, which i know can be detrimental
BUT, if i feel something in the pit of my gut: that someone is mistreating me, that there may be a reason for it, that something is awry somewhere, that something is not being said….
i gotta trust myself. i must trust myself because at the end of...

pitiful lies
So, i hate it when people lie just for the hell of it. Earlier today I made the little girl I babysit go into a dark room by herself to think about how she had just lied. She said: at least I told the truth about lying!
DOESN’T MAKE IT OK!!!
Obviously the woman/people in a recent situation I was in didn’t have guardians like me who believe in the truth, just as a simple rule of...

it's not that
i haven’t been inspired lately —i have it’s just that that inspiration has manifested in different ways
there must be order to my brains’ work so that some meaning can be derived from my life
so i send emails, make lists, cross things off my lists, make calls, leave voicemails, email radio stations, sit in offices i care not to…
i try to make as many connections so...

musical truisms
J: so anyway...... u remember the question u had asked me to think about?
Me: uh huh
thoughts?
J: music is about being true to oneself. there is a difference between loving music and wanting to get signed as opposed to loving the idea of getting signed and wanting to do music
Me: it took me a second
but yes
i guess some people think to themselves
"i can get rich off music...lemme make some music"
i think...or feel, "i LOVE music....i HAVE to share this love with the world
J: thats why i lose respect for many artists
they are talented but a slave to the mainstream
Me: maybe/hopefully, i can live off this love"
