Day #14 - Overworked

 It's been a trial in my patience trying to get everything on point lately since the main people I need responses and some kind of work from are being quite elusive or are just plain ignoring me, but thats ok.. I am more than used to people being in their own world and forgetting the things they said they would do for the projects we are both involved in. It won't deter me from my goals but at times it can be pretty frustrating. I try my best to take it all with a grain of salt but it can be tiresome to constantly smile and push forward when things start to be stacked against you. I still press forward though, because I can't go backwards anymore, and I refuse to fail and fall back into a life of mediocrity.
  Although we really didn't get any writing done , Ryan and I have agreed on a beat to finally start writing on made by the up and coming producer, Nigel Bowman. He's a good kid although I can tell he is still trying to find his particular sound, but I can tell you this : This guy knows his way around a mixer. I can see him doing great things , and that's one of many reasons I want him on my team. Also , he's extremely versatile so I know I can count on him being able to accommodate a variety of artists. The future is looking bright for Darc Knite Productions! :)
     Also, I know I was suppose to post progress photos but this weekend has been a bit hectic with all the hiccups and hurdles we have been hitting due to hold ups with producers and trying to figure out our next move but rest assured I have been sticking to my work out program, and the results are looking pretty good. As soon as things die down I will, THIS WEEK, take photos to show you how I've come along - that I can promise you.
  On a good note I have still not touched a drop of booze or a cigarette. I still get nicotine cravings from time to time and trust me, when my friends stop over and are smoking near me I SOOOOOO want to snatch their cigarettes OUT of their hands and suck one down hahah but then I think about singing, working out and most importantly, breathing. Once I get those thoughts going in my head the urge starts to die down. I enjoy how deeply I can breathe now, I enjoy knowing I'm not on the fast track to cancer , that food tastes better and that I don't smell like someone dumped an ashtray on me. I also know it will really pay off once I get back on stage and I'm not winded after the first hour, I am so looking forward to that!!
   If anything this weekend wasn't a waste as it was a learning experience in dealing with people and knowing who is really down for making music. I don't have time for half answers and control freaks. I need people who I can talk to and work with and have the ability to see eye to eye on , with equal footing. The minute we start thinking we are above each other is the minute any type of dialogue gets killed. and thats a shame. 




One love
