The Lone Runner

Lone Runner

Ever since I came to the United States, I have been a lone runner.  No team work, no one to help me fight my battles, just me.  Coming from a community oriented up bringing in which I had in Jamaica, with supportive neighbors, best friends, family and friends I came into a world, surrounded by individualism.  People working for only themselves and themselves alone.  I was confused by this notion and I was hurt to see the foolishness of how someone can be so close but so distant.  From the age 11 I told myself I am going to be different.  Even though I train and build myself as a lone soldier in this world, I will never act as such with others, I am going to make the difference I help anyone I can help.  I may not have a lot to offer as material things, but my core elements are superb at most and very hard to penetrate.  I always pride myself on my defense skills and have balanced I am.  It is not an easy task to create a hard shell and still be a soft inside to help and see pain and can know how to offer support and help to other even when they don’t know how to ask.

But with all my trials and errors, I always looked for someone to offer that same tiny help or boost I needed to actually become even a better helper, but there is no one in sight.  I trust in GOD and he have kept me going.  Even when I think I am alone and without any direction, I am confident he is by my side, trying to point me in the right direction.  Though alone in my pursuit to become great, at least I am trying, and never giving up.

Have you ever been a lone runner in your quest for anything?  Who is your biggest supporter in life?  If you can have anyone be more there for you who would it be?

I am so excited to have won tickets for two to see Big Boi (one half of Outkast), my favorite Hip-Hop group of all time.  I am so excited and I just wanted to share this moment, and opportunity.  Of course you know I am bringing my Video Cam and I am dressing up nice and going in…  I don’t recall me ever going to see and artist perform or to meet people who might be in the music industry and mingle and check out a live event.  I got to start doing this more often, without FREE tickets. 🙂

Thanks to Sony‘s Q™ Music Unlimited

Live event in New York City:  Big Boi April 13, 2011 at Irving Plaza in NYC.

I so hope I have fun.

I am here now…where are you at?

It’s time to play the game of life.  I am here now.

Sometimes you have to remind yourself you are somewhere you never been or where you have been now and then.  The reason I say so is that we experience things as time goes by, whether it’s same thing over and over again or we have grown from situations or as a person.  We do also fall down sometimes, but when you realize you been somewhere bad and now you are in a place that’s good, you have to say, I am here now.  The journey haven’t broken me, I am here now, the struggle didn’t kill me quest, I am here now, there will be more problems ahead of me, but I am here now. 

I can say this in my situation, that I have traveled a hard road trying to complete an album to managing my own business successfully.  I have failed at those both, at sometime or another but I kept going.  I never will stop, because I made it here now.  My business is going through a beautiful transition, my album is on its tippy-toes itching to be completed and I here with them both still going. 

I am not for going backwards and I refuse to work with anyone or be associated with anyone trying to bring their failure my way.  I don’t mean this in a negative way, I just feel it will hurt my goals in life, which mostly doesn’t even consist of only me.  I want to help others, and help others realize their talents and potentials, as well as entertain and innovative the world.  I have quite a long process to go, my five-year plan and ten-year plan is well on its way.  There is no turning back.

What have you had to overcome to be here now?  Do you reflect on your past as your progress into future endeavors?
