so, i gotta be on the way to work in about 20 minutes.


its a sunday.

but ya know what? i ain't even complaining. it's a hustle, and i AM making my money, so i can't be mad at that.


i've been on a stretch of late, most recently going five straight, including 3 closings. it's not so bad, until you calculate in 2 hour travel times each way. 8 hour days become what seems like 12-13 hour days, and you leave the store at 9:30pm, just to get up at 9am the next morning and do it all over again. and lets not mention the events i've missed because of working.

ah well.

such is life.

luckily, the next 4 days i have off. and while i will be squeezing some much needed rest out of the time off, rest assured that the grind does NOT cease. plenty of obligations to meet and business to handle... this is the busiest i've been in a while. i haven't even had much time to really make a beat. it's crazy but i feel pretty good about the progress.

in fact, i have good feelings about everything that's going on. in the next few weeks, my life is going to change so much. i've been trying to mentally prepare for it, but i'm not gonna over think it; the chances that everything plays out as i imagined are slim, i suppose.

so, bring it on, whatever it may be.

ok.

off to work.

enjoy your free sundays for me, folks.

good news.

i sold my first beat yesterday.

the feeling is...euphoric.

getting paid was nice, but that was a small percentage of the overwhelming feeling of accomplishment. what's more, is that now i'm so amped to move more units.

it's infinitely gratifying when someone digs your creative expressions enough to want to pay their hard-earned money for it. even better is that i sold it to a cat with serious skills. soon as i cam get at the finished track, i'll be sure to see if i can share it with the fam.

so yeah.

if this ain't impetus for continuance on the beat grind, i dont know what is. it actually makes going into work easier. i'm like, riding this invisible ninth cumulus, yet to come down from the high that is flipping one's skills for profit.

ive got a few other deals in the works... hypest part about this is that i'm making apartment money.

fukk'rs.

SUMMER 2005 in stores nearest you!
