Don't fall In Love...

I work with people... I work In Sales...

I have to build relationships, with strangers.... I have to be personable enough to get a time constrained CEO (or vp) to talk about his fishing trip, or Daughters Birthday Party... While i Handle what he needs to get done.

I'm good, I'm really good at it.

The things I do, for work are crazy.... I have to be creative, I present proposals, sometimes they get approved... often they don't. I love it though...

I FELL asleep

“It’s hard to say.. I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep”

No really what the fuck does that mean?

“Everything is never as it seems…”

????

No!!!!!!!! really I could write random bullshit, and it will seem relevant,

commercial break

Commercial break…

Apart from the woman I love… A few friends and family.. Most of what my life encompasses feels like a commercial break.

It’s a loooooooong commercial break… It pays the bills, keeps me socially relevant.
I like the English accented Gecko, The house made of Bud Lights (ahhhh, just the commercial! not the beer!), The commercial rivalry (this company vs. that)..
It’s not why we tune in tho, I tune in for the main show! The commercials are a distraction, sometimes we don’t remember the show, but remember the commercials….

It’s supposed to be the story of a life! My Movie, My Life, not one dictated by a commercial interest!
The main love interest (who will inevitably play hard to get, even though she should know I love her-à but I digress), Naturally there should be a few things that get me down.. an enemy here or there, getting overcharged by an insurance company that endorses a gecko, missing work cus I was hanging out at a house built out of bud lights… Things I will overcome (hopefully), .. Might be a feel good movie, maybe not.! Either way its my story! The Commercials keep on getting in the way though… (The cash for gold, the debt relief commercials).

I think my parents spent a lot of money on the production of this flick, the best producers, locations in (Africa/Europe/US) Granted It’s not a big budget flick (by American standards), It’s supposed to be a well produced/directed flick (think slum dog millionaire- well maybe not but u get what I’m saying).

So far the protagonist (me) has been surrounded by a wealth of talent and opportunity,and has failed to capitalize… The protagonist gets lost at times, discouraged and has made some extremly bad decisions….

It’s one of those stories, where you sort of know the protagonist will pull through and win in the end. (Although he doesn’t show it), the people that know him know that sooner or later he will win! Because he feels he is here to win!

YOU want him to win!!

He is you're guy, the underdog!

The commercial's are about to end...

let's all watch this story...

who knows how it will end.

The sea is radioactive..

"The Sea Is Radio Active..."

A line from a Gorillaz song, from the album "Plastic Beach"..

Great album I recommend YOU buy it!

The concept of the album, is that we live in a fake plastic world, capitalism, consumerism.. The kind of place where captain planet is loosing... (yeah.. you get it!)
I love the album, because it made me step outside of my comfort zone. It's a fusion of rock, hip hop, dance and just, well.. just stuff!

moving on...

I know a girl... I used to date her, broke up with her... Somewhere along the line, I really fell in love with her. I think we broke up just as things where getting deep.. but remained good friends after.

I met another woman last year, she has 3 kids, an amazing artist.. Luckily I got to be one of the first people to listen to her new album "New Amerykah Part Two: return of the Ankh"... I always thought Erykah Badu was an amazing artist, that dictated her own path.. Shoot, most of the people I Listen to are real artists!

The only reason why I am writing about these particular artists today is..

1. It's Thursday
2. I'm a little intoxicated
3. you're dumb ass is still reading this so you have nothing better to do
4. Ms Badu started a discussion about #groupthink (group thinking) on twitter, and how there is very little individualism left in the world.
5. YOU are still reading this, and are evidently lacking a meaningful life

I always considered myself as one of those people that just did for himself (at least as far as art, music etc goes)... On my train ride home, the Gorrilaz song "Superfast Jellyfish" came on and immediately afterwards my ipod decided to play Erykah's "Fall In Love (Your Funeral)"..

You can call it what you will... I saw it as a moment of clarity, Decided to bbm the woman i love a message and just straight say "I love you.." The #groupthink would say it was probably a bad idea to do so.. Shoot I probably think so too.. One of those rare moments in life, where u are like fuck what is considerd right or wrong.

But it just feels good, doing you're own thing, dictating your own rules, making you're own moves!


The imagery on our Plastic Beach is amazing...

I was never really a part of it but, now i have decided to totally dissasociate myself from this mess!
