hey yall,
been super buzy this weekend running around,
and random errands.
but rest assured,
i started a drawing tonight.
will try to post later this week
to keep the half way regular posts going.

update on video editing,
ive got 1:30 of 3min on both videos done.
damn this is taking forever.
i know the vids are going to be ass,
but i think i know how i want to shoot next time.
i need way more variety shots.

catching up on drawing in general.
havent drawn in a while,
thanks to too many hobbies.

ive been learning final cut pro,
going to start after effects,
probably in the next couple of months.
gotta capture new video!
gotta get new photos!
gotta draw moar!
gotta learn the md/dc/va area!
gotta do amuricah!
gotta keep playing vid gamez!

currently listening to:
cam'ron + vado + dj drama - boss of all bosses 3
apathy - honkey kong
little brother - leftback
kool g rap - live and let die


ive added one of my favorite epmd tracks all time.
epmd f/ das efx - comin' at cha
the beat is real deal raw.
the raps is off the charts.

the second song is older cam'ron + vado.
ive been way into production from araabmuzik.
damn... dude is a beast.

the final vid is araabmuzik GOIN OFF.
insane on the MPC.

soul!

randomness!
for the first time in a loong time,
i posted something i just finished.
i really want to make an effort to do this more,
just to keep myself busy.

this took me...
2-3 hours total?
but spread out since sunday night.
i just gotta pound out more of them,
and keep trucking on the big drawing as well.

listening to:
tyler the creator - bastard
kam - neva again
phonte - charity starts at home

pulled out the kam album while diggin in my cds.
there was only a couple of tracks that kicked ass on it....
but damn,
those two tracks kicked so much ass.
one was 'peace treaty'
and the other was:
kam - still got love 4 um
i wonder what happened to storytelling in rap?
or storytelling over a dope ass, soulful beat.
damn...

speaking of soulful,
out of all the new rappers out,
i really enjoy phonte (of little brother, aka tigallo)
this song is like the old school duo rhyming
like epmd...

phonte feat. median - eternally yours (produced by khrysis)

steady!

heres some old shit from when i was on the plane
flying to interviews around the states.
i thought i had some decent line quality,
but on close inspection,
i could see the shake form the plane in those lines.

anyways,
things are going steady.
im getting a little bit of video editing done every night.
im realizing that it is hard as fuck,
unless u have a clear vision before you start.

now to get some drawing done...
hmmm,
how to fit it into a 3hour window at night?
time to get even more efficient.

on some other random news,
today i weighed myself...
and i hit the 22 pound mark!
(of the original goal of 30 pounds)
this is a 2 part attack.
first 30, then another 30.
slowly cutting the crap out of my life,
and gaining steam.
HARD WORK!
(is now the mantra, and i love it)
