“Music is reflection of self”
– Eminem on “Sing for the Moment“
It’s important to reflect sometimes. With so much going on everyday life, it’s easy to get caught up and overlook the big picture. Whether it’s what’s going on today or what the week has in store, it’s common to be shortsighted at times (and that’s ok). What is difficult, though, is taking a step back and telling yourself: wow, look at all that there is to be grateful for. If you’re alive, breathing, and reading these, there’s a lot. So yes, indulge me as we take a moment to reflect.
Before I get too ahead of myself though, whatupy’all? What is going on??? Welcome to the Ajaxxx.com July 2018 Opinions Column. This is the place where I talk about anything and everything going on with me. For those that’re new to the site, welcome and glad to have you here. For those returning, welcome back!
As I do every July, I take a moment to reflect. I usually do this every year around my birthday, and this year is no different. It’s been awhile since I just took a step back and took it all in. We always get caught up in the busy-ness of everyday life, that we mayyy forget about all the big stuff.
This year is special. I’m healthy, I’m sticking to my goals, and I’m surrounded by a lot of great people. And while the climate might be tough at times, I still have a lot going on and a TON of opportunities to cease. It’s an incredibly exciting time to be alive. What can I say, I’m blessed.
This year is also incredibly special because I learned that I’m going to be a father. Wow, right? If you’ve rocked with me over the years, then you know the ups and downs I’ve had. It’s absolutely amazing, then, to witness the power of positivity manifest itself. It’s real. I’m excited, I’m nervous, and I’m extremely thankful.
I’m also excited about music. I’m back working on my album again and I have a concrete list of actions to do to get it finalized. Operation-get-the-album-done is in go-mode! I’m also working on new freestyles, movie rap reviews, and even an upcoming mixtape. There’s so many things going on, including new vlog videos, that it’s crazy. I’m taking it all in. Here’s a few movie rap reviews I’ve recently done.
Like I said, it’s easy to let life pass you by if you’re always on the receiving end and don’t take the time to reflect. I encourage everyone to take some time out sometimes and just remind yourself of how blessed you are. According to the huffingtonpost, the probability of your being born: one in 102,685,000.
And with that said, I’m outta here. Thanks for checking in, y’all. New music on the way! Until the next episode, stay up, stay safe, and hold ya head. Ajaxxx signing out, PEACEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
