2 days into the new job....really liking the environment. real laid back in chill...no suit and tie which is a plus....great city...which is a plus...cool manager which is a plus....i can see myself growing with this company...is it my destiny? in my mind no...
i wanna make it...more then you can ever imagine...i'm willing to give up sleep to pursue my music...i'm willing to buy lots and lots of records with half my pay check in order to create dope inspirmentals (inspirmentals = inspired instrumentals...) i'm making a good salary so inactuality i only have to spend a small portion of my check ^_^.
i need a fanbase...i need people to view my blogs, listen to my music, and come to my live blog shows...i want friends, but i want fans as well.
i wanna create a team of producers in training...i want a star pupil. i want someone a bit younger then me who is willing to learn the craft that i have mastered and have learned from kids my own age when i was in my teens...
i wanna collab with emcees, lyricists, poets, musicians, film-makers....and other types of artists.
projects determined to finish this year:

a talented young producer/ technical support analyst
Good Morning-Afternoon,
11:10am:
yesterday....hung out with one of my best buds laur. since i got a new job, she decided to take me out for lunch (shoutouts to laur, one of the best artist i've ever met in my life.) we went to cheeburger cheeburger....i got a decent size burger, and we split the onion rings. ^_^. then, we went to the mall, visited her old boss, went to borders which is....GOING OUT OF BUSINESS! i purchased my first mangas ever, which i thought would be dbz, but i settled for bleach because i like that too, even though i never really watched it. went to hot topic hoping to find a spiderman shirt to match my spiderman fitted...fail. oh well. went to the theaters to see mall cop...funny as hell. lots of action. i want to know that chick and the dude who were freerunning they were excellent. i eventually wanna learn about freerunning and perform some in a safe environment.
but yea about the title...hmm. to let everybody know, i eventually do want to be where my homie dame is. not location wise, but to the point where i can make tracks for a living. i know if i keep up my faith and my good work i'll make it. but to be honest...i love my new day job, being a tech support analyst is very cool.
perks: own office, great city to work in, great bosses, and so much more.
shout outs to my new managers, rob and marc. see you guys tmrw ^_^

"i'm eating" wtf you can't pick up my obama comic bro?!
Good Evening-Good Night Folks,
Earlier today...was awesome....
went to sonics with the homies, hexx, badillo, and vic....got a chili burger with tots, a sprite, and a peanut butter milkshake..(hitting the gym tommorrow. don't worry)
i got a call earlier stating that my obama spidey comic was in...only issue is that i placed in order in my hometown which is two hours away. if you read my blogs you know me well enough to realize that i'm super busy with my terrific day job and my producing great beats.
so i asked my little bro, who just got his license and a bmw, thanks to my dad and grandmother...a 90 bmw. he could have made it to the shop for me...but this fuckin kid chose to eat...
and did i not just help your tall ass friend get a phone off ebay.
fail.... oh well, i'm hoping they'll hold it for me until my dad can pick it up.
anyway, i start my new job on monday and i am so blessed. I wanna thank god and i wanna thank my previous employeers for granting i opportunities in my path in order to get to this lovely company which is in princeton but i can't tell you the name (stalkers lol)
picture will be coming soon though...SINCE I HAVE MY OWN OFFICE!!!
no blogtv @ work though like at argix, sorry this is a company i wanna put some work in at.
Peace and lata dayz,

p.s.....never rely on a jock to pick up a nerd item such as a comic. he'll just be eating or doing pushups...sorry lil bro, i <3 you.

I watched the inaugutaion and bush looked sad...
Good Afternoon-Evening,
Woke up early this morning...took a leak....went to my pc and went to cnn.com...watched the footage of the obamas attending church and attending breakfast with the bush's....lol as much as i disliked bush's decessions when he was in office. i felt kinda sorry for the guy. OBAMA 08 AND BEYOND SON!!
(sorry random quote filler)
lol anyway....obama stated that we have major issues that we need to fix...but we will meet with them in order to repair them. we all know that it's going to take a few years before everything is peaceful again. so at this point in our lives, we need to ban together and solve americas issues.

i need my resignation bonus son! i got bills to pay
Good Morning-Afternoon,
As you have read in my past adventures. i got a new job...and got laid off from the old one. Now, i loved working for argix and i wanted to continue working with them until my 2 weeks was over. but apparently, they just couldn't afford me the last 2 weeks thus why they promised me a nice bonus according to this contract i signed. i'm not one to chase money, i'm patient whenever my checks do come because i know how to manage and stretch my cash. but i won't be getting paid from my new gig until like the 15th of next month O_o..... thus why i need my bonus asap.
i have my student loans and rent i need to pay. the credit cards and celly can wait until next month.
ugh, they say time is money but it seems money can't come on time lol oh well, i'm still eating and living so f*ck it, i'll be waiting by the mailbox.

Been a few days....
Good Evening-Good Night,
last 4 days consisted of....spending time with the fam, eating home cooked meals, and catching a bad stomach flu which, thank the lord only lasted a day. man this flu had me vomiting and sh**ing like nobodies buisness. it was just some weird virus that went around the family home. my dad said some guy at his job got it too. maybe it was just something in the air. anyway, to give my viewers a headsup, be sure to stay on your vitamin C and water. if your stomach is bother you, stick your index finger in some salt and lick it off. i tried ginger ale and pepto bismol. that sh*t just gave me the runs and made me barf...yuck.
moving on!
i got this crazy concept in my head for this song called paralell universe. the first couple bars consist of
"thugs talk about the stars aline,
instead of sticking to the hustle and nines,
pimps & hoes become nuns & priest,
traditions of the west, become part of the east."
i want to sample this one musical piece from kingdom hearts.
yes i produce but i also write but a career future. i wanna stick to creating these beats!!!
and i'm going to be one of the best. so all you katz that do it for chasing money and fame. take your equipment back to the store or sell it on ebay.
stop chasing money, chase your heart's dreams.

Irony: I'm giving in my 2 wee...no your laid off
Good Morning-Afternoon Peoples,
It's funny how the lord helps in my life. ok scene one. i'm arriving to work around 3:03pm. i get to the IT lab (that's my day job) and my bosses are sitting there just chillin. i drop off my lunch in the fridge, put away my jacket. I hear my boss say, hey brian come in here and have a seat. i'm like ok!
so they both look there with sad faces and my boss charlie is like, i hate to be the bearer of bad news but due to the economic problems we are having in the USA our company has had some lay-offs and you were on the list. those weren't his exact words but you get the point. so i responded, that's funny charlie because i was giving in my two weeks today heeheheheheh. he was somewhat reliefed. my other boss tony looked pretty bummed about it, i guess it's because the hours are changing and he doesn't have me to kid around with anymore. The cool thing about this is, they are giving me an extra month on my work insurance and i'm getting a leave bonus. i thought about shooting to florida but my friend "sempai" reminded me that oh you have loans to pay and don't you wanna invest in your music. i'm like damn your right, so i'm gonna use some to pay my bills and i'm buying protools with the rest.
I'm a heavy believer in god and i think god saw that i haven't took a vacation in so long, he was just like you need a break mental. So first and foremost, i wanna thank the lord for giving me a better paying job with a chance to grow within the company. i wanna thank him for this 2 week vacation and bonus check. i wanna give shout outs to my former day job bosses tony and charlie. i will miss you two, thanks for letting me write you down as references.
that was just the jist of my day yesterday

Good Afternoon-Evening Folks,
had an interview yesterday and i'm officially an employee of this company in princeton, nj. i don't wanna release the name just incase i have stalkers lol. i'm a technical support analyst for a gps company and i'm hoping to move on to programming as well. this is a day job used to pay my bills and for my necessaties. also to support my passion as well. it gives me my evenings back which is good because i want to be able to go to the city and possibly perform in some shows and catch some shows as well. i start on the 26th of this month and i'm trying to get my homie to take my spot here. which i hope they'll consider hiring him because he is a devry grad as well. the only thing is, he didn't pay for his grad fee so he never got his degree technically speaking. anyway, shout outs to my follower kc who's been reading my blogs. i heart you.

interview tommorrow. yes, aspiring producers must have day jobs
Good Evening-Good Night Folks,
just got home from work about 20 mins ago. i've been recently sending out resumes to companies for a better and more progressive position. I have an interview tomorrow with this gps software company called ALK technologies. judging by their site and location, they are a very promising company. i just hope they see that i'm experience enough to handle technical support. Also if i'm hired, i hope to work with a good team just as i did at star. i mean we had our issues but eh it is what it is. The point i'm trying to get at in this blog is that even though i'm in the work world, i want to let people know i'm still a musician. i'm just a musician with a day job lol i'm hoping one day in the following year, i can finally leave the work force and make music for a living, just like my homie from cali dame beats, shout outs to him, i follow him on blogtv and his blog. anyway, this position seems pretty cool. good thing about it is, more money, back on 1st shift so i'll have time to do shows at night if i please. on blog and live. also it's near princeton library where i use to work, so i'll be visiting some old employees to let them know that i'm doing ok.
welp, good night folks, wish me the best of luck and pray for me.

back to the day job...the day after new years.
Good Morning-Afternoon Folks,
you probably wondering why i always put the afternoon after morning huh? it's just a greeting to those who made read this later on in the afternoon. if i write this in the afternoon say around 4pm, i say good afternoon-evening.
anyway...moving on
My new years was pretty chill and fun. I didn't drink. i treated my body to some green tea. i had a bad experience last time and drinking and it kinda resulted in a distant relationship from a very dear friend of mine who i miss seeing. hope i get to see her again real soon.
anyway, i head back to work early 2day due to the fact i left early on new years eve. so today is going to be a longgggggggggg day. noon to eleven, ugh.
but i need that cash in order to pay bills, eat, travel, and to support my true passion.
Be on the look out for Secluded Sounds & Scriptures. it may be an Instrumental Album but i'll try to get a couple of songs i produced on there as well.
i'll have it before winter 09 is over.
