I am now giving in to my urge to black. Bear with me.
Dreams hardly get remembered. So when one stands out and compels you to follow, redefine that dream as an ambition. Ambitions are usually achieved while conscious. Something in the land of the living inspires you. Don’t rule off a vivid vision of a potential future as a fleeting moment in your unconsciousness.
At the same time, don’t be foolish. Make your dreams work for YOU, don’t work for your dreams. That’s the fastest way to way to end up a slave, not harnessing the power of your dreams. Dreams can be chaotic. The one to control the choose is the one to win big.
My dream used to be a Grammy. I still have my speech, grandma still has her dress. Alas, I received the greater honor of being on the Grammy committee! My vote determines the nominees AND the winners. It’s been a while since I last voted (haven’t been too happy about the music dropping lately), so I’m sure there’s some red tape I have to go through to re-establish as a board member. Still, my word counts in modern music! A win for all those who believe in me.
Moment of honesty (AKeys). While staying in CATS (Cleveland, 2011), one of my fellow clients lent me his CD player, “Illmatic” and a UGK CD. Or The Best of Pimp C. Now I was already up on Nas (d’uh, I’m a New Yorker). But I was pleasantly surprised by Pimp C. More soulful than lyrical. A different listening experience overall. Funny, because I wasn’t the biggest Pimp fan when he was here. I kept my comments tasteful, but I can honestly say I was ignorant. Forgive me, Pimp C. And rest in peace.
I was up LATE making instrumentals (as opposed to beats). Went to bed 10:30am and woke up about 2 hours ago. I guess I’m up, but I might take another nap to be refreshed for later tonight.
Where I can do it again.
