Time and Time Again 2:42:00 PM

I remember the first time I heard this song I was walking on the street with my friend Bryce, and there was this car at the stoplight and the radio came on and the guy in the car was like "AYY!!" as soon as he heard it and turnt it up. Me and Bryce were like crunking and dancing in the street while the guy in the guy was banging his head to this. LMAO, good times, anyways... Purple Ribbon All-Stars (I have no idea where they get the name from) pull it together real good with some Big Boi style on it. Although I might be from New York, it makes me feel like I'm from the A (Atlanta).

Thoughts On My Mind | Like A Star 10:58:00 PM

These past couple of weeks in my life have actually seemed to calm down just a bit. I mean I'm doing everything that I was before but, now it's just... calm.

School has been ok, I mean I really really love my advisory, I think even more than my section (9F). Like, it's weird though because everyone in my advisory is aware we are all so different but when were all in the same room together we all just are comfortable with who we are. For example, Star this girl in my advisory is really uiet has and a small group of friends, and that's cool don't get me wrong but when she gets in advisory she seems really comfortable talking to all 11 of us in the advisory at once without shying up. Or Alisa who is one of the coolest people I've met in a while, is sort of the more popular person. She's friends with a lot of people in the school but stills talks to all of us with respect and doesn't act as if she is superior to us (I hate those type of people).

Me and Alisa an have got to know each other a lot better since the beginning of the year but it always seems like I don't know her when I see her in the halls, and it's not even because she acts different. It's just... I really don't know, haha. Like when were not together in the same room i'm just someone you say 'hi' to in the halls but, when we are in the same room together or like having a conversation, it's different. Not implying anything but just saying. I think that me and her are going to have some sort of special connection in the future (I mean who knows?).

As for my music career... A LOT has happened since I last posted but since I don't feel like boring you readers today I'll just keep it brief. Me and I-CON (Jake, my friend and soon-to-be signee) are getting in the studio next saturday a lot more musically educated thanks to MC Sa'id (big-time beatmaker/producer). He wrote The BeatTips Manual, a 400 page book with all the information in the world to be successful in the music industry and to be an icon in beatmaking specifically. We had an hour conversation with him on the phone and I think I learned like 200 pages worth of text in every like 2 sentences he said cause the conversation was that interesting and informative. If you want check him out, go to BeatTips.com and/or BeatTips2.com. Don't forget his son's site to (which is actually really informing) at Amir13.com.

By the way, the East Coast Action website is almost done. If you want the sneak peek CLICK HERE.

Ebony and Ivory 9:27:00 AM

I honestly can't tell if this is going to be good or not. I mean I can't imagine Common and Queen Latifah. She's more man than he is, hahaha. Hit the jump for the synopsis.

March Madness? 12:26:00 AM

What up?

Well I have A LOT on my mind. The past couple of days have been really productive music wise but, it feels weird cause everything I am doing now feels so adult. Honestly, I'm glad I noticed that I don't want to be the kid who sits at home on weekends and plays video games all the time. But, at the same time it feels weird to be growing into the person that I want to be in this world. Like knowing that Jake (my signee) might get signed to Universal Republic Records/Young Money Entertainment and me leading the way since I've been his manager/mentor for the past 4 months it's already great progress for a 14 year old.

Socially my world has been up and down like one of those heartbeat sensor thingy. One day at school I'll feel like everyone knows me as a person who is a cool guy just like them, and the next day I'll feel invisible with people looking at me in weird ways all because they made their first impression of me before I even met them. Most of the time I'll shake it off but it's still rotating in my queue of thoughts everyday when I pass the one's that judge me in the halls.

Right now currently though life just feels mediocre, not anything to get to excited about, I just feel like me, and my social life and friend expansion is straining to expand at this point cause we ARE more than halfway through the year so everyone already feels like they know who they should know and that's it. Left out? Maybe.

I am happy for one thing though. I met this girl named Tsiann I knew from waaay back in pre-school and we were like best friends and I really wanted (notice the past tense) until after a while she stopped responding to the messages on Facebook. Maybe I talked to much. But, who's knows... as Jay-Z says, "Got to learn to live with regrets."

Food For Thought 1:18:00 AM

Amazing picture I found on Flickr of the NYC skyline.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference."

Finally Famous... 11:32:00 PM

I'm a couple weeks late but, the kid 'Big Sean' is back with 'Supa Dupa Lemonade.'

Thoughts on My Mind | Isolated 9:00:00 AM

Me and Amy were at Highline Park on like 14th Street when we were doing our mini-photoshoot thing and thought this was sort of a nice picture. What ya'll think?

Ok, I have no idea why but me and Addison were talking and then some how the subject of what we wanted and expected High School to be like came up. So we went to into this really deep conversation, and I said some stuff that even I was even surprised to here me say.

The conversation started out as him talking about life "friend groups" forming and how Yulia had changed and everything, then I started too tell him out High School was really not what I expected it to be honestly. As some of you might know I used to go to private school at LREI up on Houston and Bleeker and it's small classrooms like basically 15 kids or less in each class, so I was basically friends with everyone in the school. Last year, it was time to choose High School after I got my test results back and I think I remember getting into Millennium, Eleanor Roosevelt (I think I spelled that wrong), and two other ones I forget. I chose Millennium even though I wanted Beacon because it seemed like a cool place.

Flashforward to the new school year, I'm excited ready to make new friends and everything, whatever, whatever. And then I learn that half of the people that are going to this school already know each other (mostly everyone was from 89). So like automatically that just makes it awkward for me... then I met Pola. The first person I knew, I remember it. She was from a different school too so we started talking and got to know her better and eventually, she started making friends and wanted to introduce to this dude Nathan. Nathan was a cool guy. But, it was weird cause the friendship between me and her was short-lived cause we were in different sections.

So I was once again somewhat alone and finally after like I week or so I started making more friends in 9F (my section), and it was all good. After awhile though I started to question why (and how) I wasn't friends with a lot of people outside of my section and everything I thought of kept leading to the same thought.

Everyone knew each other cause of 89. And since I was isolated in that small school I felt like (I know this is cliche or whatever) a needle in a haystack, lol. Honestly. Then I started thinking about like the whole High School experience in general and how to get to parties, etc., etc. So pretty much I realised I needed to be more outgoing. That doesn't mean I'm not going to be me but, I have to not be so shy or whatever it is anymore that's holding me back from talking to certain people.

So basically, the true reason I have been rambling this whole time is to say, it never hurts to be yourself, you really honestly might regret not being friendly and saying "hi" to someone you see everyday or, maybe being shy in general. But, do keep one thing in mind, what ever you are lacking is always attainable.

"Fear is like an illusion of millions of cracks in a window you can't look through, the thing is... it's really actually clear."
