HeyFolks!

What good folks. It's been over two weeks since my last post. Give me a break! Month of march is going by so fast the semester is coming to an end quicker than I thought. Best wishes to you all in your grades! Last Friday (March 18th) I did an AYS set with some talented folk! Brandon Ramey lead out P&W and it was amazing. The was Eric Ramey(Bass), Brian Ramey(Drums) Kameron Pearson(Keys) and Myself(keys) it was an honor to share the stage with so much talent. This was my first AYS this semester and it will probably be my last.

Today I got my hair retwisted by the lovely Maxine AKA Royal. She did an excellent job. Ya boi is fresh with the clean Locs! Big ups to my homie for the hook-up. Here are some pics!

Music, Life, and Love

MUSIC:
Yesterday I experienced a Musical High that kept a smile on my face the whole day. I made a mental note to listen to "Maxwell's" latest record after hearing some tunes in my friends car last week. I finally downloaded "Pretty Wings" yesterday morning and fell in love! I love everything about this joint! The lyrical content is solid, the vocal arrangement is super dope, and the track is just fire. The overall production of this record is just magnificent. I like how this track has a studio and a live feel to it. The bass player has a nice feel on the joint. I love the way the drummer plays on top of the programmed drum track. His pocket is so phat, and his dynamics guides the intensity of the track very well. This is not a typical song that you can hum after 15 seconds of listening to it. Take some time and let that record warm your soul. This song came out a minute ago so I'm well aware of how late I am. It really takes me time to discover music do to the lack of good records. Lately, PPL have been putting out catchy foolishness. I find myself always going back looking for inspiration. Commercial, AKA, POP, is getting outta control with these wack joints. Music is all about the money and not about the soul. Nowadays, producers are going into their libraries, taking some 808s, adding some Phat claps&Snares, and looping a vocal sample saying "we bottle popping". We're in the Dark Ages of music y'all. We need a resurrection. Mine was yesterday morning listening to "Pretty Wings"

LIFE:
This week was a very interesting week. I'm glad God brought me though another one. I went through emotional highs and def some emotional Lows. This week taught me some lessons and also reminded me of some things I learned in the past. Here are some of those things.

1. Differentiate your needs from your wants. Very important!

2. Find happiness in the things you take for granted

3. You can't force someone to have a yearning for you.

4. Matt 6:33

5. Faith won't prevent you from having problems, Faith will keep you super close to God "In The Midst" of you problems!

6. Always allow room for people to exceed your expectations. Otherwise, you will always be unhappy.

7. Pay your Tithes lol

8. Every motive must be genuine.

9. Integrity is what you do when nobody is looking.

10. Don't do things out spite. Trust me, you not bout dat!

LOVE:
I'll leave you with this.
"Love God, cause thats when you'll learn to love somebody else"

Happy Sabbath Folks!

Here I Am

Here I am, I'm still standing, here I am after all I've been through. I survived every toil and Snare, I'm alive , I'm alive. Here I am.
-Marvin Sapp-




By His grace and mercy I'm still here; able to write this blog. This is a testimony that I should share with everyone around me. We go through all kinds of foolery everyday, and honestly, we sometimes put ourselves in the foolish caca. Even in the midst of our caca, we're still standing. Sometimes we go through things so that we'll have the opportunity to tell somebody how we got out. What kind of testimony can I give you if I've never been through anything. I've been through some ruff times to the point were I let go of some manly tears (I ain't no punk). It was uncomfortable but I can tell you that God was there with me through it all. Isn't it crazy that God will use the ruff times to spend time with us. He allows us to hit rock bottom because the only direction we can look is up to him. Satan actually "**cacas" when he attacks cause he gives God the chance to be closer than ever! This is not our home folks, we're just passing through. Sharing is caring, so share the Good New and tell somebody about how God Brought you through!

Here I Am, Still Smiling!!!

Dig!

LOVE:
It's not worth it if it's not worth fighting for. Feelings can magically appear, but genuine relationships don't magically happen. you gotta build a strong foundation so when the winds come around, you'll be able to wit-stand it. U know the treasure is there, u just gotta be willing to dig deep to get to it. Take it from me folks, she's worth The work! It's complicated, just the way I like it!
