“Once again, back is the incredible”
– Rakim on “Guess Who’s Back“
I’m not quite sure how it happens, but sometimes we get off track. We lose sight of our goals and get deterred by this krazy thing called life. Whether it’s work, school, or just the random surprises that life throws at us, it’s easy to get distracted. And in turn, you think about how you’ve let it get away from you and become deflated…at least that’s what’s happened to me. Well this month, I want to state that I’m recharged. I’ve let the blah-ness go on for too long. Yes Ajaxxx, it’s time to make moves again.
What is up my peoples? Welcome one and welcome all to the Ajaxxx.com August 2016 Opinions Column! For those that are new to the site, this is where I talk my talk about anything and everything going on in my brainal cavity (not sure if that’s a thing, but you get my point lol). For those that’re returning, welcome back! We got a lot to talk about this month so let’s get right into it.
So last month, I wrote about 10 Tips for Inspiration. This month, I’m inspired and ready to work. So what’s on the agenda, Ajaxxx? Well, let’s get into it.
Writing
Firstly, I’m writing again. I realized it had been months (yes, MONTHS) since I had written my last verse. Hard to believe, right? Between the wedding, transitioning, and all the other things that life has presented me, writing became less of a priority. Well, the other day I was listening to a beat online and it straight up talked to me. Like, I heard the beat and the words just came to me and I knew exactly what I had to write. It feels really great to get thoughts outta your head and onto paper, as any emcee will tell you. It feels even better when it’s been a hot minute. So yes, I’m writing again and it feels absolutely wonderful.
Recording
So, THIS is where I’ve hitten a roadblock. As I’ve talked about in previous Opinions Columns, I had to tear down my mic booth when I moved. When I did, I pretty much stopped recording. I mean, I put down a song or two here and there, but nothing major. Anyway, this month I’ll be getting my equipment again so I can return to the mic booth. I got some advice from one of my producer friends which is a great help. It’s been a long time coming but it’s now time to make this thing happen. Andddddddd, I plan to start recording video of me recording as well. So wait, that means you’ll be recording your recording? Lol something like that. And thattt serves as an excellent transition to the next section.
Video
I told myself in 2014 that I’d record 4 videos in 2015. Well, that didn’t happen. I didn’t even get close to that happening lol. In 2015, I knew that realistically, it’s asking a lot to shoot that much. However, with technology the way it is nowadays, there’s no reason I can’t put out MORE video. So yes, I’m going to be sharing more video blogs. I’ll also be shooting and releasing a music video before the year’s out. Lots of exciting things are planned and I hope you’re ready to go on this journey with me.
Sharing this update isn’t just to talk about me…if anything, I hope it inspires you in your life too. As I mentioned last month, you have to push yourself. Nobody is going to pick you up every single time and make you do the work…at some point, it falls on you to make it happen. So get up, stand up, and let’s make these moves…because we’re recharged.
And with that said, I’m outta here. Why? Well, I have moves to make, remember? Lol. Ok, until next month then. Stay up, stay safe, and hold ya head. Ajaxxx signin out, PEACEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
