In that spirit of growing . . .

My son is 5 months and It's been getting more and more fun. He's sitting up by himself, eating baby food, crawling a little(backwards - lol), and just being a lot more responsive. My family life has been helping me to grow as well. As you teach, you learn in return.

In search of excellence

Why has Feel-X been gone for so long? For one reason. . . In search of excellence. Taking more time for my family and spiritual life instead of using it on a computer. Take this quote into consideration . . .


"If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude."

Colin Powell

. . . I intend t work hard, stay focused, not give up on my dreams, and do it all with a strong and loving godly family by my side.

In-tech appearance

So last week I was asked to perform as a special guest at my old school In-Tech for this competition they were doing. Here's a pic from backstage. I had fun with this performance because I had a lot of freedom as far as with the length of my set and interaction from the crowd. There's a video from this performance coming soon.

Feeling kind of depressed and down, but have been learning some things along the way. This week I should be back with some new stuff for you. But for the meanwhile . . . Check out this video - Extremely weird, confusing, and a big bunch of WTF?!! all at the same time. Yet somehow entertaining.

Day 1 complete

Today didn't go too well.

Yea I know. I said we didn't have much problems but it seems we both have some things to work on. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, but listen to this . . .

Ok, today's dare was based around patience. Its starts with this bible passage
"Be completely humble and gentle, be patient and bearing with one another in love" - Ephesians 4:2

Let me tell you, we both are two very impatient people - lol. Also due to the fact that we are both extremely passionate, caring, and emotional people it makes us pretty short fused to anger at times. The book says "Anger is usually caused when the strong desire for something is mixed with disappointment or grief." . . I was the one who started off the day pretty bad. In the morning I was awoken by a phone call from my partner who informed me of today's "No School" due to the heavy snowstorm which meant I wouldn't be teaching today. I am a night person and because of that I woke up pretty late. My partner constantly get on my case about it, because she wants help with the baby. Today however she was very patient with me. However, since I was still tired and a little cranky I was not as such.

I continued to be tested walking over to her house in the cold, and climbing over snow while not being able to see because there was snow blowing in my eyes due to the heavy wind in the morning. When I arrived, I was in the mood to be quiet and not talk much. - She took it as me having an attitude. Somehow she still managed to be patient with me.

As the day progressed it got a little better until night right before I was about to leave when she brought up the argument with me about my actions in the morning. I got heated and there goes the debate. . . There wasn't really much after it, but hopefully tomorrow will be better. I am going to try my best to go to bed and wake up early - lol. Perhaps it will help my chances.

This is a throwback!!

Want to hear Feel-X back in '06. REcorded this at 15 years old. This was back when I was going through my wreckless Hardcore rap phase - lol. I guess you can see the growth artistically from then until now. Track features two dudes I know by the names of Cise and Seme. Both really lyrical dudes, my style is a lot different then theirs though. Check it out and see the growth.

Hope

Here's something I saw on one of the poetry in motion things on the train. I find it really inspirational. Written by Emily Dickenson.

"Hope is the thing that perches in the soul,
and sings the tunes without the words
and never stops at all"


We should all walk with hope in our minds and hearts

Jonathan Roberts

So, ok. . . I work with this guy name Jonathan Roberts teaching the kids drama/music for Kids Creative. I speak about Kids Creative all the time, but haven't gotten the chance to really introduce you to Jon.

Jon and I met over the summer and worked with the same play group formulating an original play with music, costume, set design, etc. Working with each other, we were able to develop a pretty cool friendship and understand each other creatively a bit. Then as we went into the school year we found ourselves at the same site once a week teaching. Eventually Jon and myself got together and made some music together outside of what we were working on with the kids. So you know, this guy is a creative genius! As a keyboardist/vocalist/songwriter with degrees in musical theory and theater, he has really expanded my sound in the short amount of time we have been working together. Not sure if he knows that(lol), but this guys is no joke. Actually helped me to put together "Billie Jean" which you know is the single off of the mixtape "The Preface".

Anyway so he also plays with this band called "Renaldo the Ensemble". Check out their video for their song "Sands in the Glass"

40 days towards love

This post is meant to prepare you for the next 40 days. I spoke to you guys earlier on in the week about a movie I saw last week called "FireProof" and how it is about a couple learning the true meaning of love.

So, I liked the message of the movie so much I went and bought the book to try on my relationship. It's not like mine is in jeopardy or anything. I just have faith in the morals that will be instilled in my daily routine through the execution of what is in this book. I also am willing to take a chance in better strengthening my relationship. If you want, you can follow me for the next 40 days as I document how this works out for me. So if you were someone who was thinking about doing it . . . Maybe you would like to use my example as I use my blog as my daily journal of the results. I have a feeling some of the things it may ask me to do will be difficult, but I am willing to take a chance and work at it.

I hope those of you who are religious will pray for me, and those who are not just cross your fingers for me that this only works for the better in my exploration into better understanding the vague concept of love. And not only that, but that I may execute love in my daily life more effectively from here on out.

This weeks episode

Sorry, I have to present this each week. This weeks episode of wolverine and the x-men featured the hulk.

I think it is really interesting where they are taking this new series of the X-Men, and they really are staying true to a lot of the original comic story-lines. This show started with Wolverine running into issues with the MRD, and then lead to a huge discovery that I know is going to come back later on in the series. I don't want to say too much about it except for me watching the X-men and just being into super-hero's and comics really stimulates my mind and inspires me to do more in the world. . . Sometimes I just want to be super.

Finding the right person

Everyone seeks love. Everyone feels a longing to have a good life-long companion, but there is something that most do not realize. They say that dating is hard and they just can't find "the right person". But I would like to ask . . . What is the right person? Does that mean someone that you connect with, and shared all of your same passions in life?

If that is your definition, then let me help you to observe that when you see married couples don't they seem like two opposite sides of the spectrum? Have you observed your own parents?

I know that in this day and age, a lot of people have parents that are not even together. Do you wonder why that is? Well, first it is our societies glorification of sex, and self centeredness. But it is also the fact that in order to find the person of your dreams you must first be really sure of yourself, and in a way that is mental, spiritual, and you must be at a point where you know what you want out of life in the most part. To add to that, you should be willing to give without asking when you find a partner. Now I'm not saying that you have to be a zombie who takes BS from anyone because you want companionship, but I am saying that in a healthy and lasting relationship you have two people who are at this level of thought already. They may not exactly BE where they want to be spiritually, financially, or anything but they know which direction they are headed and are determined to get there.

What I'm trying to say is that in actuality . . .
It's not about FINDING the right person.
It's about BECOMING the right person.

PS: If you are in a relationship that is going down the drain, take this into consideration, and share with your partner. Maybe it will help you pull things through a bit.
