Okay, so I lied

Well, not lied. But I was a little wrong about something.
In my prior entry, I mentioned that After I moved to ATL (which would be within the next 3 months)I have plan in mind that I was going to excecute. That plan is still active, but I felt a surge of...I dunno, it's like I got that creative urge pumping, and I guess I figured I could just put a request out here for whoever's reading. Ain't nothing wrong with supplementing my plan, right?

I'm looking for tracks to sing over. Generally, I sing soul music... but soul encompasses a lot, so I'm open to house tracks, hip hop tracks... anything good. So if you or someone you know produces music and is trying to find someone to collab with...contact me. I'm serious! Check my profile for my email address. I guess I should put a sound clip of my voice on here, so those of you who have no idea of what I sound like will now know huh? I will, pretty soon. In the meantime though...

Thank ya kindly!

( and if ya know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody... holla at them too.)

Haaaaaaaaaaay, Boo!

At the subtle urging of Afeni, I've decided to post a lil something something, since I've been slack in blogging. I've gotten so comfy reading other's thoughts, I haven't had the time to post my own!

So uh... let's see, what is there?

There's pretty much nothing going on but the rent, and more specifically, how I'mma pay that shit, since I have no job lined up yet. Oh, did I neglect to tell y'all? I'm moving to Atlanta! Yes, yes, y'all, I'm raising up out of this piece! I knew I'd be leaving here this year sometime, but I had no clue that this city would depress me to the point that I actually could stay no longer. I'd mulled over going back to Jersey (and I'd really still like to, and will do so in about 5 years) but my daughter would like to remain in Georgia so we can be within driving distance of my family as well as her father and his fam.

I'm currently on the hunt for a job in the Atlanta area. I'm looking into all kinds of work, cuz I think I've had enough of slaving up in these hospitals. Most doctors can be shitty individuals, and I've learned over the years that the support staff is usually a bunch of people who are social misfits or imbeciles who can't cut it in any other industry (of course, there are exceptions, but in my personal experience, this is definitely the case). As for me... I'm not gon' be able to do it!© Double XX Posse
(Okay, well maybe part-time I can; I'm always on the paper chase)

What else is there? Ah, yes, the music. Well that's basically fallen through as far as pursuing it here. My crew that I was working with has disbanded, and they are all on some mess where they have split up equipment and all... I ain't got the energy for trying to work around their mess! I'm cool with them all, but that situation has me rather messed up. Of course, I can put up my own money and go into a studio, but I have things to learn, and going it completely on my own at this point in my life isn't conducive to producing some quality recorded material. So what's a girl to do?
I have a plan that I intend to set in motion once I've settled into ATL.

Over the course of the past 6 years or so, I've been fortunate to have met and come into contact some very talented folks. Some of them you have seen, listened to, or read about; some haven't broken through yet, or play the background. I missed oppurtunities to work with them before, because I was too afraid to ask for their help, and still buying into the ideal that my family instilled in me. You know, the whole working a regla' old 9 to 5. I have hella hustle in me, but as it happens, being a working stiff just ain't for me, and I plan to make up for all those missed chances.

All that typing and I still haven't explained much about the future of my music yet, huh? While ATL is ripe with talented folk, I haven't really immersed myself into it's musical loop yet, and for now I want to deal with who and what I know, but none of them have Atlanta as their base. But, eh, no matta me, because I've been inspired by the recent projects of The Foreign Exchange and Tanya Morgan. Sy Smith has recently gotten in on the idea as well, so hey, why can't I?(you're going to have to follow the links, or at least the first one, to understand what I mean) I don't want to mention any names and jinx myself, but if my plan comes off as I envision... wow. It will take time, but whatever amount of time and work this takes will be SO worth it to me, and I hope it will be to you guys as well. I can't wait to get started so that I can share!

And that, people, concludes what has been going on in my boring old life. Afeni, don't call me out like that no mo', iight?

Until next time (which I PROMISE won't take a whole freakin' month), Be safe, and at least make an attempt at being good! PAYCE!
