Phone Number: When That Money Calls Then Everything Goes On Hold

The title of this blog post comes from one of my favorite songs of the moment by the Brooklyn new york rapper, “Fabolous” titled “Phone Number” off his 2011 mixtape, “The S.O.U.L. Tape“.

I am referring to this song by the fact of today, my job called me in to work. Some people on their days off refuse to answer their phone if their job calls them in to work, but not me. When money calls pretty much, because you are getting paid to work, I am definitely picking up. I absolutely value money and its effect on getting things done in life. Not only just money, but the feeling of working and contributing to a good notion of providing service to others.

One last thing, I believe that the more you work and the quality work you do, raises your value to potentially make more money. The funny thing about that also is there is an artist called Wiz Khalifa. and he has a song also which is called “Phone Number” (Cabin Fever Mixtape) originally the title of the song “Fabolous” remade the song from. Wiz has his own spin on the song, with a cool chorus that goes, “When I get paid my checks be looking like phone numbers”. The way this applies, is that I work hard everyday until one day my check will look like numbers. Pay checks in the millions would be a great achievement.

If it is your day off and your job calls do you pick up? Do you one day wish your check paychecks look like phone numbers?

Set Goals and Beat Them

I have came to realize I have a battle to fight this week. I have quite a few project to kick off from the ground. It’s not going to be easy doing these projects, but they are vital to my career and my next step which is after this summer.

Crazy as it may seem, I have some goals I was to share with my blog from February, in which to this day I failed at posting. Though I have accomplished a few goals, I haven’t really accomplished ones that matters the most. I guess they need more dedication to complete.
But its exciting that they are on the top of my list of things to do. So expect such projects as the one I am going to list to be done.

Here are my projects:

T.B.E. (Debut hip-hop album)
M.M. (Poetry and art book)
The Real Life w. Richardo (short film)

The main things about get things done is just this, set goals, give yourself a due date, find a way to do it, do it, and see the results of your work.

Do you have any goals for 2011? Have you procrastinated on any of your goals?

I feel like singing…but can I?

Sing for me Hyde *__*

I feel there is a hidden rule in the world that says everyone can sing.  Yup, I said it sing.  I know you probably thinking of someone in your close network of friends and family that totally sucks, but hear me out.  They can sing if they were taught, see I didn’t say by themselves did I huh?  But they actually could either way.  They just won’t be singing tunes you would like to hear or want to groove to.  So you go well, dang homie, you stated the obvious so what’s the point?  Well here it is.  No matter how bad someone is at singing, it’s all about expressing yourself.  So why should be silence someone who wants to voice their mood or thoughts in song?  Lastly, if they really really suck like myself, as long as you can hold a note, throw some auto tune on it, and BAM a hit, well still only to your own ears, and maybe a few others who can’t help but to hear.

On that note, I am off to go sing on auto tune…I sure hope I come out with a HIT. lol

Have you ever tried to sing and people say shut up?  Can you actually sing?  Have you tried singing on auto tune?
