Oh snap! I just shot my rap video... fo' shizzle!
It's not very often that I'm so excited about a rap video... But when it's mine and it's off the hook... I'm stoked! I had a blast writing the song while I was working in San Francisco! I was hanging with a few close friends in San Francisco's Little Italy section, and the vino was flowin'... Several bottles and a lot of food later, we were hanging out in my hotel room laughing, acting wild and listing to the song Ego over and over again! ...I got so inspired (and shocked at just how much rappers get away with singing about) and decided to write my own rap song. ...One thing lead to the next, and before I knew it, I had an extremely vulgar and hilarious rap of my own... Naturally I decided to put a music video together once I got back to LA. ...and with the help of Jeff Payton my Director and two of my favorite girls... the video is in the can and being edited as I write!

Good things happen to good people! ...Sometimes.
Do good things really happen to good people? That's what a friend of mine just reminded me.. I know she was most likely doing her best to encourage me to keep the faith, so to speak... However, I really wonder more and more if good things really come to only good people...
Of course, there is no way to really measure the truth in a statement like that. Let's face facts, good things happen to good people, but they also happen to bad people too!
I'm beyond frustrated with where I am in life right now. I say this knowing that I have so much to be grateful for. Nevertheless, I'm disappointed that lately, the harder I work for something, the further I push it away.
I believe that if you work at something hard enough and long enough, more than likely you will be able to accomplish your goal... Honestly, I try to focus only positive energy into the goals and dreams that I harbor.
I'm the king of mantras... In fact, I have quotes and affirmations framed all over my house... and yet, there are moments when you just want to scream at the top of your lungs: "IT'S NOT FAIR!!! WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE MY TURN!"
I think the scariest realization for me, is that no matter how hard you work and how much you want something... It really may not happen... So do you continue to focus your energy into something that may or may not pay off? I'm really asking that question... I don't have the answer anymore. I used to believe that you really can accomplish anything you put your mind to... Now, I'm not so sure...
I've made it a point, since watching "Finding Nemo" to remember the wise words of a cartoon fish:
"just keep swimming, just keep swimming..."
But lately, I'm not sure if I'm just treading water or worse, swimming in the wrong direction!
How come you can't Google "Will I succeed?" and get the answer you're looking for? You can Google everything else!
UUUuuuuhhhhhhhhhhggggGGGG!
