No Rush

I am grateful for all the beautiful people who have inspired me to write this album. I love you dearly and I thank you for continuing to be you and blessing me. The album is finished now and releases on May 5th, the first day of my tour. I cannot begin to think of where I would be without you. I shall never rush into that train of thought...

Playing shows on a consistent level has been such a blast. This tour is all about love at a frequent pace. by that, I mean, this will determine my love endurance for music. Traveling has no issue with me. Without it, I could not share the music from my heart. Although I stand in a puddle of awesome feelings, there are still a few things that I'd love to have and do. Well, maybe more than just a few...

1. Get a girlfriend.
2. Be in love.
3. Make love.
4. Surf

All of these wants are more like necessities considering I have the worst luck with them. I am not nervous, at all. I just feel that I am ready to take on a world of spiritual love. It is what I write about. 1-3 are a DUH and a given. But four; four is for cleansing. Washing away all the past love pains with the crashing waves of the ocean. Becoming brand new in a love sense. Yes, I can't wait to tell my love story and be the next great fairy-tale movie's main character, but I'm in NO RUSH...

With My Smile I'm at Best

Yes! Stoked and on the writing train again. As I sit in a mall full of foreign folk, I still feel like a normal civilian. Indeed I should. This is absolute life as we all know it; success is a word among us and it's what we strive for. Shall we call it a feeling, it'll later be latched onto our hearts like a loved one. Anyway, I was up this morning before sunrise and I had the breath taking chance of listening to the rain and also learning from it. Learning from it you say? Yes. Think of it this way: The sky does what we're afraid to do; cry. While we struggle to keep our eyes dry, we are saved; saved by the source in which is the sun. The sun keeps our eyes from tearing up at torn moments. This is all good, but be thankful and give gratitude to your new and awesome friends, cloud 1 through 9. Okay, I shall continue with what I was originally aiming at. Smile...



So many places and faces that I have never seen in this world. I've seen a good enough amount to know that a persons' judgement on appearance factors in a great way with how comfortable they are. For example, I wore what I like to call the hippie workload dress code today. I begin with my shoes.



This are some pretty sweet old Nikes that were purchased my freshman year in high school. I believe these were stolen from my garage by my neighbor but of course then, my brother stole them back. Anyway, they're still going strong, plaid and all. I continue with my jeans.



The "Moften" jeans. Moften is a word I created to make the words and meaning of "worn more than often." These jeans are my Abercrombie and Fitch top model jeans. Yea right! I purchased these jeans my 10th grade summer while working for the A&F company. Big no no, but we won't go there. They've been washed MAYBE twice and they're super comfortable for my buns and package. I am grateful for moftens. I continue with my upper attire now.



I don't remember where I got this shirt actually. I just know that it's pretty pretty and it still fits me. I guess in the end that's all that matters. Oh, and the tie; I like it. Bought it for a sweet Halloween party. Good times. So how do you like my outfit?

I reveal all of this too you because, for me, as you can see, it isn't the apparel appearance that makes or breaks me. Look at the very first picture in this blog post and tell me what I am doing...


Smiling. You can share so much love. You can make so much love. You can share so much peace. You can make so much peace. By all means, with your smile, conquer the world. I'm living it and I'm loving it. This is how I carry myself. WITH MY SMILE I'M AT BEST...

Don't Be Alarmed

What is one's constant question of the day and is it often answered? Are we worried or afraid of what is yet to come? We shouldn't be, in all seriousness. Death is yet another word for failure and failure is to another chance, depending what kind of God you serve. There's a feeling called ambition; something that positively eats away at you; a feeling so right and strong that you can taste it on your tongue. It often leaves the effected with a face like this...



Don't be so shocked when one day you see my white smile, big eyes, and curly hair on your television screen. It's a promise. I cannot go wrong with going for the dream. At this point in time, Everything is Perfect. Today, I came to the conclusion that school is no longer where I will continue life's education. Instead, I will learn from the everyday inspirations. I now have more time to pick up after myself, write at a more frequent pace, and take random, gorgeous photos of things that appeal to my open eye. Like these...




I still have yet to touch base with my Step-Father nor the rest of my family, but heck, all I would and could say to them is what my Mother often said to me; "Dreams are often lost and unfulfilled but ones confidence is (more) often set in stone." To you, the readers: If at any point in the rest of your awesome life, you hear the President say my name in the name of love and music, DON'T BE ALARMED...

That's Why God Created the Dream

What a week. I've been exposed, terribly, yet I am thankful for it. These past 7 days have been the definition of a hill and how it rises as you walk on it, and it falls as your walk continues...

The things that ate me up were delicate to my heart before mind, and I stand in shock still. Feeling replaced is never the best feeling. I believe it comes from being left alone enough times, beginning with my biological Father forsaking me at the age of one. Then, the death of my Mother felt like neglect from the almighty God. And last, the leaving of my Brothers to go live a better life out west; broke me down just a tad more. Now this. A beautiful girl at the tip of my fingers but also the frame of my heart and world; being held and tendered by another guy. I will only say this more; once a best friend of the opposite sex gets a boyfriend or girlfriend that isn't you, you have been replaced and you will drift slowly but surely. This is the reason for my complete cancellation to not let my feeling of false carelessness continue...

Last nights show was a P.O.S. and better yet, the poop icing on the cake for the week. It was unlike any other. Explain to me why we travel to Astor, Florida, two hours from my homeland, play what was by far the best show my band and I have ever played; then, the next day, we arrive back in Orlando to play a show at Rollins and only 7 of our band friends show up. It's not our fault at all. We blame the poor organization of the show advisers at Rolllins College and their lack of promotional care. Yet, I thank them for showing us that we are so much better than that and that they now belong in our category of time wasted. I would also like to thank them for paying us all $350.00 to play for a crowd of chairs...

Sorry, I had to get that one off of my chest. If not, my heart would have suffocated. On a happier note; my brothers are in town and I love them. I missed them so much. They are my sense of peace and hilarity. I'm still standing.



I'm looking forward to the days ahead. I'm going to be better, every moment I have any doubt. Love will find me later. As for now, I've got to leave the world with mouths and eyes open wide. Everything is Perfect. I was shaken, but like any brick house, I am mighty, rebuilt, and better looking. I'm going for it; all out, balls to the wall. THIS IS WHY GOD CREATED THE DREAM...

Love Brings New Things

I'm writing again, finally. After about a week or so since my last blog entry, I have this little delicate moment of space to just sit and write. Next to me is an amazing salad that I plan to scarf down from lettuce to tomato.



I'm grateful for all else that is around me, and I'm loving the new blessings the most high is pouring down...

Though I miss my friends at times dearly, I always remember that they have a special place in my heart. The heart lives for love of fellowship and they will always be my source of immediate strength. While on my journey to become a success, I remain busy and never stagnate so that I'm always trying to improve. I'm used to the every moment of being occupied and it keeps my brain fresh. With all do respect, I am better. With that said, I've gotten so good, that I have actual music stories to share, now, about what is up ahead. Shall I start with mine and my bands MAY FLA Tour?...

Listed above are just a few of the dates/cities/shows that we will be hitting while on this tour. I am so excited to finally be participating in a 100% real tour. I say the statement before because, unlike my tours when I was gigging with my brothers, for this tour, I didn't have to work as hard. Meaning, all of the aspects of this tour were/are scheduled, paid for, and planned out by a great promotional group entitled, PNR Promotions; from the transportation to the equipment.



Talk about a tremendous blessing!...

For those who did not know and/or are unaware, mine and my band's first EP Album hits iTunes as soon as we get back from our tour. In fact, take a look at the picture for the album cover.



Give it late until late May before the public can begin to purchase it. It's actual release date is April 25th and will be sold at all of our venues/shows on tour. If you beautiful people would like to purchase it ahead of time, feel free to travel to one of the tour shows. We would love to see you there...

Okay before I get ahead of myself and begin to spill too many beans and jinx my luck, I'm going to put this meeting of show and tell to a halt. You all are in my prayers and loved is what you are. Always remember that you are blessed and also, that LOVE BRINGS NEW THINGS...
