Ready To Start Recording An Album?

So I've kind of stepped away from the net periodically. I had to put some things into perspective. I'm not going to make this long, but after Grammy weekend and going to a couple of events, I got a bit of a wake up call! It has defiantly sparked a fire under me. I've been wanting to make an album or an EP for a while, but just didn't feel I was ready mentally to start taking on that task. I am a perfectionist when it comes to doing things and I think before, in my mind, the music thing was a bit overwhelming. But I think I am now ready for the challenge.

Being in L.A. puts a lot of things in perspective that I would not of even imagined back home. I always tell myself to stand out of the way of myself and lets see what happens. So this is what I am going to do...forreal this time! It's now time to put the nose to the keyboard a start making some hits! I think I have an idea of what I'm going to call the EP, but it is still too early. Developing...

Just Trying To Do My Part...

The first time I posted these items for auction, none of them sold, and the earthquake that devastated Haiti hadn't happened. Even though I didn't make any money from the auction, I am still here in my own home with food, clothes, even a car to drive in. The people in Haiti are in desperate need of help.

Because of that,I decided to relist the same previous items, but this time, I am donating 100% of the final selling price of the items to The GlobalGiving Relief Fund for Haiti Earthquake. An organization that will provide victims with critical necessities including water, food, shelter, and medical care.

So if you are interested in helping out, bid on one or all three of the shirts I currently have for auction until Friday. When you bid, think of it going to a good cause. It might be just a shirt, but look at the bigger picture. Let's all help out in any way we can. It could of easily been us. We all can do something...

Here are links to all three shirts currently on auction:

Classic Stripe Peter Millar Polo Shirt

Pomegranate Peter Millar Polo Shirt

Blue Frost Peter Millar Polo Shirt

Cory Bold Songwriter Contest Submission: "Get It Girl"

Here is my submission for the Cory Bold Songwriter Contest. Out of the two songs I wrote for the beat, this version was the winner. The track, to me, sounded like a good female pop track. So I wrote it as a female reference. Vocals are done by the talented Gemia August. There is even a "special guest" at the end of the track who hit her notes on que! Check it out!

Get It Girl

(speak)
If you want anything out of life
you better go get it.

(Oh,oh,oh,oh...)

Verse:
I'm the best.
Can't nobody tell me what to do.
(Oh,oh,oh,oh)
Want nothing less
Cuz I know that I'm worth it yeah.
(Oh,oh,oh,oh)

Gotta have a strategy.
Gotta keep it fly like me.
Cuz talk is cheap.
Sitting' in the V.I.P.
Wishing you was me.

B Section:
Walk is tight
And my swag is mean.
Don't get mad when you look at me.
Quick to judge, but slow to lead.
I'm walkin' and talkin' it.

I get it when I want it.
I get it when I want it.
You can get it too,
But you gotta go and get it!

Hook:
No time for hesitation
Want it? Now's your chance girl!
If you want everything you want
You gotta go and get it.
Get it girl!
(Get it guuurl!)
Get it girl!
(Get it guuurl!)
Get it, go and get it
Go and get it
Get it, get it,
Go and get it girl!
(Oh,oh,oh,oh)

Happy Sunday...

Hello! Just wanted to update ya'll on a couple of things. First off, happy new year to everyone! This year is gonna be full of surprises and great things for everyone! Get it in 2010! Secondly, I will be updating the look of the blog this year. When I first started this blog, it was just a journal that I used to chronicle the moments in my life. I'm going to continue to do that, but I want to make it more interactive and more visually engaging. I still want this blog to be me, but like myself, you gotta change it up sometimes! Lets go!

And currently, I just entered myself in a song-writing contest for a producer by the name of Cory Bold. I've been a fan of his tracks for good minute. And to his acclaim, Bold has recently placed songs with LeToya Luckett and Keri Hilson. A very talented producer and fitness fanatic! I've been writing songs since I was 8 years old, so to be able to do that for a living would be a great accomplishment and dream come true for me.

On the song, I'm working with a talented artist by the name of Gemia, who I will shine light on soon! But when I am finish with

the track, you know I will post it on here! As always, I will keep you posted. Have a good rest of the weekend! And for my Missouri folk aka "The New Antartica", leave the house today!

Want To Know What A $750 Cupcake Looks Like?

Check out this cupcake that was featured at the recently opened cupcake shop Sweet Surrender Cupcake and Candy Shop in Los Vegas' Palazzo Hotel. The cupcake is called "Decadence D’Or" with a retail price of $750.00! Some of it's decadent ingredients include edible gold flakes, 100 year old Louis XIII de Remy Martin Cognac, and gold-vanilla caviar. Once it is done being crafted to perfection by the gods, it is encased in a stately, hand blown sugar Fleur-de-Lis! This don't make any since! You defiantly have money to burn if you bought just one of these! I don't even want to think how much it would cost for a dozen!

If I bought this, it would sit in the back of my freezer like a wedding cake and brought out only on special occasions!
