Lastnight I went to The L.E.S(lower east side) and saw The PJ Morton Band,perform @ this little lounge called Kion, pretty dope set , there the homies, Keyon on Trumpet, Brian on Bass, BigED on Drums, Jesse on Guitar, Kenneth on Sax, and Lead Singer/MD PJ Morton
They were Killn...






These Cats are all Real Musicians and understand what good music is... They play for the Crowd which is hard to find in Good musicians sometimes , because they usually play for themselves... PJ is also a killn songwriter and Producer for So So Def and had a nice little list of Placements.. google him

Inside this club called ICE..but it was pretty whack..I decided I dont like clubs..I mean I never did..its pretty pointless...at times
Doubt...8/18/07
It hurts.. to watch the tears fall to the paper... Its so simple but people get caught up in selfish complications,
I try to see it there way ,but it leads me to the same thing...what you think is real is often foney make pretend..... I have a problem with saying when the book should end, so I fall into the trap and instead of trynna get out I make it my home... Stupid. That's what love is , believing every thing in fairy tale has a happy ending , but Bullshit , fairy tale aint nothing but empty hope,

And I feel so empty cuz u were my only hope, my only thought, only care, besides the things before that I still treasure
I feel sick, my eyes don't wanna close
Sleep is my worst enemy, and I don't breath thru my nose, cuz if I come across anything similar to ur scent
I don't think I could take the memory. Unsolved is what u stay and considerance is my mistake...I don't do anything but believe but what's the point if u can't fight what u face...Doubt

Summertime?

Summertime and the livin aint easy, Hustlas Hustlin and the Tempracha's high,Oh my daddy who?? . and my momma stay Grinden, but hush little Baby dont you Cry This Subway stop hands down is the hottest subway station ever... I remember being down there for like 40 minutes and when the rain finally came I felt like I had been workin out or sumthin...
The infamous G train...Never no matter what you do take the G train past 10 pm....Since I moved up here (2002) thats train has done nothing good for Life..lol
I had a gig in Queens a week back..this is just a cool city view pic , but the gig was so Random, it was at a beach in Queens for National Swedish day...
