Bridges, Rain Clouds and 7pm

I think that's what Ima tittle one of my mixtapes. Put alot of random songs with those type concepts on there. I can picture it. I actually got the idea from driving home from the beach today. I was playing basketball and was driving over the bridges back and noticed the sun was setting and it looked amazing..but then when you looked, there were rain clouds in the sky too lol. It was just weird but very cool to witness. It just delivers that random, weird but fascinating to see/hear type feel to me. Symbolic, I guess.

Last couple days have been kinda stressufl, dont care too much really for it all. Just feels like I'm moving very very VERYYY slowly in the direction I need to go lol. I set the studio back up and somehow, idk how, but all my plug-in's from IK Multimedia had been moved around/deleted and now don't work. It's pretty annoying to fix because you'd think IK would have a tech support line you can call and talk to but they don't. So all beats have been put on hold for the last week and plus writing is limited until I can get all my beats in order.

I have however just got my gov't check back...750 dollars! lol and I still get state too. Plus I just handled all my unemployment stuff today, so I'll get 350 a week from now on lol. It just feels and seems like I am so busy with other things that sometimes I have to push music to the side for a minute. I never forget about it though. You know I am really not worried because when push comes to shove, I know myself so well that I will lock myself in a room, play beat after beat and write non-stop when it's time. I'm pretty fast when I am honed on it. I do alot of revisions though. Always wake up and look over it all again and recite them, make sure they flow good and portray what I want to say well enough.

I'm thinking about setting up another photo shoot too. All white background, a vintage type feel with the lights. Maybe turn some into black and white. Put a tux on with a bow tie, Idk if I should wear sunglasses or not(if i do it'd be aviators)...and take some bust shots. I think that'd be kinda classy but the accessories would make it sorta trendy. I just need some more location/outfits before I get it.

I was kinda angry typing this, but CASE AND JOE - FADED PICTURES came on shuffle on my itunes and now im kinda relaxed lol. Funny how music can alter your energy completely. I gotta go though, i got some stuff to handle for tonight. I promise, i've made a mental note to make this blog page look wayyy better.....soon lol

www.myspace.com/onthechartt

is where you can find all my music for listening or download. All merchandise purchase, show dates, any news, videos and more. All artists or anybody in need of mixing and recording services I am the cheapest around. I will do it for free. If you record anything, just send me all the files individually and I will mix it down and pre-master it. Just remember, shit in will be shit out. So if you are recording with a computer mic, I can make you sound better but don't expect it to sound like you recorded in a LA Recording studio. Anyway, I got you. Just hit me up on one of my sites. I have links to all my sites I'm affiliated with on myspace.

I did say I would give you an update of everything I am trying to do, but fuck that. I will let you know I am trying to get J Holiday to sing on one of my tracks but it seems impossible to find that man's management info! Other than that, you will have to wait to see for yourself what is going on.

By the way, I'm painting walls again..this time we are on day 2 lol. This will be it though, no more after this. I'm actually being called to go roll right now lol. I'll be back to finish this.

Damnnnn i'm not done with that painting lol. its 4:22 now. Should be sliding off to Daytona for a couple days for SB. I wonder how that will turn out, I'm kinda skeptical of it but w/e...let's get it. I've got a company asking me to create a jingle for their character now, so as soon as my studio gets back up I gotta smash that. Really I just got alotta work to get done, musically of course. I probably will post on and off after this one because of the work I need to get done but I will not abandon this. Hopefully as things get going I can post links, videos and everything else on here so it's more attractive for your eyes. lol.

When I hear other rappers...

I just shake my head. Nobody wants to stand out anymore. They just want to simply make it. So they look at what they feel like rappers that have made it works and they just copy it. They don't see the entire picture of what it takes to be an artist...not a rapper! Kinda like society, if you live inside the box you wont see anything but what's inside the box. Ehhh anyway, I am so hungry in life it's almost deceiving. I won't talk too much or give you too much of what's on my mind but I listen to other people's music and then I turn on a beat I have and kill it. It's like just something else...idk. It's something way wayyy deep inside of me...I can only compare it to a fire burning, roaring, very big!

Anyway, I didn't want to devote this whole entry to other people, I was just elaborating on my thoughts vaguely. I had to paint my whole interior room today, picked out a blue smurf color lol. Its super straight though, I gotta paint the other room tmrw and slide by and grab a dresser for my clothes too. Then I may finally feel relaxed lol. In another sense though, I'm kind of unsure of what's about to happen for me. I have a couple options. Trying to make things happen finically and hopefully I can find the right prices for the projects I need completed. If I can get my finances together, I truly believe it's over. Lets check those prices lol.

I keep dennis on my mind alot too. It's almost as if I can get angry for no reason and not know why I'm mad. I just get in my car(late at night) and just slide listening to music. It sure does clear my mind. I can feel people's pain, especially his. I'm definitely not like anybody you would meet, but that's why I am me and you are you. Sometimes though, its as if I want to blow all my money on music and essentially invest in myself..maybe if I go back to being broke, like always, I won't have this stress anymore on saving my money I have now. But If I go broke and nothing airs out, I sure don't want to work a 9-5 getting by check to check. That's not life. I feel cheated almost and it makes me want to cheat society back in violent ways. Most likely I won't, but I've been there before and it's not somewhere you should experience lol. Noooo wayyyyy.

I've been keeping a hand written journal for the last couple of months and I will start posting the images of my journal on here for you all to see. I think the 1st entry provides a backstory so its about 4/5 pages but every other entry is 1 page long.

Well next time I'll probably give you all an update on what i've been working on and trying to make happen. Until then, I'll see you all in my dreams....

From Breadcrumbs to Birdshit

Thats how I feel about today. The music. Society. The world. I feel like alot of people, especially in masses are very ignorant. Very scared. Always wanting to feel safe. We live in a world where our thoughts, our true free minds are suppressed. We are made to feel as though we are normal people and have zero power for change. You will never have any power at all if you don't believe you do. When you get caught in the system, they got you. Don't let it fool you. You have power, just apply it. If you don't have power at the moment, you most certainly have the power to gain it! Thats for sure. Let me tell you...Always conceal your intentions. Understand this. Everytime you speak or do something in your life people are trying to tell you what your thinking or be inside your mind. They cannot do that, at least properly if you conceal your intentions.

It's not uncool to be smart and intelligent. Why would you want to grow up to be a baser? Grow up following others but feeling like you are being yourself. Those that believe they are truly free, are the ones who are the most hopelessly entrapped. I had a girl the other day tell me about a time she came to class drunk and on bars. She then proceeded to tell me that her teacher was an asshole for making her leave. Why is that cool? Why do people do that and think it's cool? I dont understand what is attractive about that at ALL. She then started to tell me another time when her boss didn't respect her so she flipped out and quit. How is anyone going to respect you when you don't even respect yourself?!?!

I really don't socialize too much with people, not because I'm unsocially apt, but because of the reasons above. I like myself and other similar people. I guess it might be my scorpio nature, huh? lol. Numerology my name is a 7 so hmmm lol. So is Tupac's. and so is lil wayne's. Weird. I see this place we live on very different than alot of people. Maybe in another blog I'll give you some background information lol. Anyway through my music I do express my truest thoughts and feelings but each song serves it's own purpose. I don't get technical and bore you to sleep with textbook words but I do get my point across pretty well I think, especially in the proper language. Well for now thats it. I'll fill this thing up a lil bit in the next couple of days...
