My God time is flying...

"So what I tend to do now is think of today as the past, it's funny when your coming in first you just hope that you last"

I can't lie. Sometimes I get emotional. Just in general. Sometimes I have felt that I wasn't getting my just do in life and i have gotten angry. I have a certain lust for life so what would you expect. Things are going quite well though, even when I think they aren't. I sometimes have to remind myself that they are. And they are. As an artist I deal with some slight issues of depression when i am not engaged in my art or feel that I am not having the opportunity to properly express myself. Expression is my life's blood. I need that. I've learned that I also need patience. This lofty goal that I have of reaching a certain point in my music career and attaining my goals takes time.
Again i can't complain. Twelve months ago i embarked on what seems like the second phase at my attempt to breakthrough into the music industry. that second phase would be forming Fresh Cut Collective. I had done all i could do by myself thus far as a solo emcee, and I had always longed on having a band. So coincidentally i met Kiran who is the music behind the band as well as one of the band's keyboardist's and we went from there. It trips me out because we are packing shows in Milwaukee and making some real good moves and it's only been a year. I mean i my mind it's all according to plan, but how often do things go as smoothly as you envision them in your mind. Hardly never.
In one years time we have opened up for more than a handful of national acts (Rhymefest, The Cool Kids, Movits!, Curimin), and we are now recording our debut album with help from Milwaukee independant record label UniFi Records. We are still booking shows also. Hopefully by the time spring/summer rolls around we should be done with the album and touring. i know that the album is gonna do some major things. I;m not expecting to sell a million, but I know we can at least push 10,000 by ourselves off fans and touring. I don't see the first 1,000 cd's not selling out in a few weeks in Milwaukee alone. Why not?
The world around me is changing, even though my immediate world may not be changing so drastically. People see something in me..in us that we don't even see ourselves. What we are doing gives them a feeling that they hold on to and adore. So now i am learning to embrace that energy so that i can harness it and give it back.
