ray ... ritual ... last year ... STARBLAZERS ... rob ... KCH ... MVP

so ...

this is what i posted on christmas eve last year ... and i'm doing it again ... because ... JUST BCUS ...




now ... this time last year ...

i was in paris ... rock star cuz & lil cuzzo looked out lovely!

i remember not being able to sleep on dec 23 09 because on the 24th we were going to do one of the things that i really wanted to do while in paris ... go under the city ... go into the catacombs that even many parisians have never gone to. i was there ... with rock star cuz and a few new friends ...


i started this blog to help me talk out my thoughts and flesh out my ideas ...

this is the first time i've really looked back and read some of these blogs from last year ... my M.O. is usually to write fromthe heart and let go of it ... this allows me to write form a place of no regret or care for who's reading ... just speak my truth in the moment and move forward. after reading these things i think i need to systematically review my thoughts and ideas from my blogs. and write more often. (once a week!) i think that i said that before but i have some new support systems in place that will allow me to create more structure in my life again/refreshing my

for those of you that were following me last year ... i have been holding on to some of the rituals that i established for myself last year.

morning ritual stuff: take my time to get out of bed (control the day don't be controlled my the day ... take a moment to thank the universe, angels & ancestors, listen to my body & the universe for at least a minute) , wash face w/ cold water 4 times (representative of cleansing & refreshing myself mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally, be creative (tell a story out loud, sing a song, freestyle, start a creative idea ... this usually happens in the shower!)


this is me on the friday before christmas last year ...

honestly ...
this year was a real challenge but i like the way that the start of 2011 looks ...

I'm a little more rooted now ... emotionally, creatively, physically & mentally ... i've got a few projects that although they didn't get out before the year was over they are still going to be shared in the first quarter of 2011 and ... i'm excited that i'll be doing my party in LA again...

shoot a e-mail to irrelevant333@gmail.com if you are intersted in getting information about STARBLAZERS 2011: here2there ... the grammy edition! on friday, feb. 11, 2011 in LA at the VIP lounge in the KEY CLUB ...

part party ... part jam session (featuring grammy nominees & a few friends from DC & LA & everywhere! it's gonna be FUN! you should be there ... ok that's enough of that ... i'll post a flyer soon ...

anyway ...

right now i'm kinda sprung on watching rob dyrdek's fantasy factory on mtv 2 ... i dig this cats story ... he's like me (just w/ more money and not as scared ... but if i had his money i'd be little less scared!) ... he's into giving back ... worked hard and created his own thing ... his fantasy factory ... i wanna do that ... i can't front ... i really dig what he's doing ... his brand management and how he's event helped his lil cuzzo take his brand to the next level ...

this may look kinda crazy but it' all makes sense to how his lifestyle contributes to how he embodies and presents his brand!

yo ... for real ... peep his story ... i mess with this cat rob dyrdek!


and i'm adding this because ... i'm feeling like this is what i want every artist to strive to obtain. the ability to embrace a emotion ingest it and then return it to the audience in the most honest and beautiful way that you can ...

ladies and gentle man ... BETTYE LaVETTE



and because i worked the Kennedy Center Honors again this year ... it airs on dec 28th on CBS

i'm not going to say anything but ... there were some INCREDIBLE performances and bits of comedy! (if you only knew!)
watch it and peep steven tyler's tribute to paul mccartney


and for a little twist ...
mike vick for nfl mvp ...



see you in 2011!
