So I booked a show w/ Eric Roberson @ The Temple Bar and it was a very good look... I didnt have a band last minute, but I was able to call up my homies who play for Keyshia Cole now (luckily they were in LA) and they save my life... Daniel Jones(Keys), Adam Blackstone(Bass), Erik Tribbett(Drums), and this Young Cat Jairus Mozzee(Guitar) who plays for Fantasia ... so we pretty much smashed on the crowd... one problem...there was no documentation....U might see Eric on You tube, cuz he went in!! performed 14 songs, and an encore..great show all around.. one of my best... never again will there be no photographers, no audio, and no video...life lesson learned

Shout Out to The Park for coming through on the last minute gig booking and last minute hit with me....these fools is on the grind.. They play with like 10 artist anad myself when Im in the Bay... Bruno's was a good night

Also SHout out to this cat I met in SF.. Lee Bob... Killn Sound, its like Folk Soul Funk... he was also on the bill that night at Bruno's.....


Mmmm.. Chinese Food with Derek Josh and Johnny at 3 in the morning after a lil get down at Royale in North Beach...


PROTOOLS...the only Girlfriend Ive ever had with equalibrium/homeostasis....thats me and Dj Whooligan of The Sole Vibe

Polar Opposites

Selfless, too concerned with anothers Passion, or there wondering for one...
Anything you ask, Anything u need
If I can get it for you then I'm happy..
Its like I brainstorm with myself, to solve your problems, not trynna be mean ...
but most of them are common, cents, or things you've come across often..

Selfish, I didn't know love was one sided,
To ask ask ask, without feeling,
Its like its your birthday everyday,
so presents come from me in, support, affection, my generousity
If I was you I'd be in love with me..
Cuz I know nobody has ever done all I do for you, for me

Torta's are the best sandwiches in the world... San Francisco is the best place to get it or anything else as far as FOOD..... VERY GOOD FOOD

At Keelay's crib wit Whooligan and DT more Protools... free time=me and protools

I treasured our conversation, never abbreviated Emotion, told you all I was thinken and expected the same in Return.

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
