Man, I’ve been writing ever since February 21st and it feels great! For those who don’t know, I’d been in somewhat of a deep dry spell since the release of my book, Babylon Songs (go figure, huh?) and was starting to get frustrated/ worried. I had truly been uninspired to write…period. I did go through a year period where I wrote next to nothing when I was in college, but that period felt natural. I didn’t even miss it because I was doing my first love on a regular basis (drawing). This dry spell, hit my fast and unexpectedly as usual. But this one stayed way past the welcome point. Sometimes you need to chill and not write, just let life happen, y’know. Then, when the time is right, you pick up a pen and pour your soul out. This wasn’t happening for me. Now, my mind is bubbling with ideas and concepts like when I was in school, now it’s like, “Either write it, or chance losin’ it”. I’ve written six joints since February 21st, and I feel a lot more scratchin the surface. Who knows, maybe I’ll be on some next ish the next couple of days and let folks get a sample in my journal. Anyways…must get back to work. Getting better in this program called Illustrator as I force myself to use it for more and more projects and assignments @ work.
PS- I need a frickin’ haircut. My hair goes from bald to nice lentgh to out of control in a matter of days. I would normally be rockin’ the fresh cut on a weekly basis, but I’ve been silently boycotting the cat I normally go to. It’s funny because he doesn’t even know I’m boycotting, but obviously he hasn’t noticed either.
Why am I boycotting you ask?: Well, back when a brother was unemployed, I still made it a point to get a haircut as regularly as possible. I don’t know, a haircut might lose out to a tank of gas for my ride, y’know? Besides, it takes absolutely no talent or skill to cut your hair off completely, which I do whenever a barber is scarce. Chicks dig it, why not, right? Anyways, this cat had nobody waiting for him and one cat who was half done in his chair when he fronted on me. Granted, he normally has his schedule full for a day, but he always looked out for me before. I always tipped a couple of dollars when I had it. He said he had a full schedule, but the shop was damn near empty, which is highly irregular. The insult to the injury wasn’t being denied a haircut; it was being denied a haircut the day of or before (I can’t remember which).an important call back for a prior job interview. That was like a major blow, dog. C’mon, I know ya’ll feel me. Anyways, I haven’t stepped foot inside the barber shop since. A shame too, because dude is the best barber I’ve come across in the Northwest DC area that’s right around Howard.
