I recently sat down at Blackout Movement Studios with Andrew from www.zvibz.com, a reggae music entertainment website that goes beyond the typical - "what are you currently working on" and "where can we see you on tour". I rambled on a bit but it turned out to be an interesting conversation.
I appreciated the rare, on camera, appearance from Blackout who also talked about his journey coming up in the business. You can see his complete interview on http://www.zvibz.com

Long days to come
There's no visual attached to this post, no promo of anything, just a real diary entry. A little while ago, maybe November last, I realized that I spent a lot of time doing for other people's projects. I'm a workaholic given the chance, and I'm given the chance fairly frequently. I realized that it's neither always appreciated nor rewarded duly. So since I've chosen to avoid bitterness at all costs, I decided to channel my newly enlightened mind toward my own endeavors. I'd done it all this time but never with this amount of focus.
It's been rough. I have friends and people who help as much as they can. I do the best I can with limited resources and what I believe is unlimited potential. I have my eye on a prize that doesn't seem too far away although conventional wisdom would suggest it isn't within reach. I find conventional wisdom boring and the word 'no' means nothing to me other than - maybe not this way, try another route.
It's late and I'm antsy. I've taken on a lot to chew on but the reality is, I gotta get this stuff done if I want to get to where I want to go. Every night I'm excited to see what tomorrow will bring. My mother likes to quote a song I wrote long ago that says "every midnight starts a brand new day". I believe that. That after darkness comes light, and balance requires experiencing both, so I'l continue to revel in both.
I don't claim sadness any more, nor depression. I claim only ambition, determination, success, health, wealth, prosperity, love and happiness. I love my friends, and even a few who aren't. I'm thankful for every opportunity and every door that opens. Some good ones seem to be coming to me in recent days and I believe wholeheartedly its because I'm ready for what they offer.
I promise to remain thankful. I promise to pace myself. I promise to experience as much of the ride as fully as I can. I promise to live up to my promise as a human being, as a talent, as a heart, as a star. I pray you do the same. Have an outstanding week and make every week even more so!
