SXSW 2010 Precise @ The Light Bar Hustle Palooza ....and..NOSAS With Saul Williams and Precise March 27 @ The Kinetic Playground

SXSW 2010 was BANANAS!!!! Music was Everywhere. This was my first trip to SXSW. Everyone I asked about it told me if I had never been there before that it would be overwhelming.....They were right.

My initial excitement from this trip was because I got booked for Hustle Palooza. Shout Out to Hustle Simmons.....A week before we went down to Austin me and Dj Kmax mapped out our itinerary... the shows we were going to see and the parties we were going to and most importantly who was serving free drinks and food.... HA HA...we found em.

We hit the Fader Fort in Austin with Pugs Atomz and Simeon of The Prime Meridian we get our badges (the badges allowed us to come back and forth to The Fader Fort and drink free Southern Comfort(SOCO) and Budwiser)...we went back many times...lol..Not to mention the fact that The Fader Fort is where most of the major performances are held.

....Anyway we get our badges and hit the infamous 6th street. Austin really has an off beat vibe...the slogan is "Keep Austin Weird". For all intensive purposes its kinda weird. An Austin local told me Austin is considered weird because they are a Liberal State in the midst of Conservative Texas.

...6th street is where many of the bars are and most bands perform along this strip. When I say music is everywhere....I mean it is everywhere. Walking down the street is like jumping in and out of dimensions every five steps. You hear everything from Country Western to Hip Hop and you gravitate towards what you like. If you are really in tune it will take you a while just to get down one block.

The fact that the performances are live is really what makes this trip worth your while. You really get to see great performances. A few of my favorites were Cubic Zirconia, Dam Funk, Kid Sister, Ayah, Mic Terror and the DJ Set with Stones Throw.

I wanna take the time a tell you everything that happened, but over the course of four days I would be writing a book...so I will provide my top 5 SXSW Moments

#5. Hearing Cubic Zirconia Live for The first time.
#4. Watching Kid Sister and Blah Blah Blah perform and rep Chicago.
#3. Walking to Whole Foods with Nneka
#2. Getting a hug from Jean Grae....WOOOOO!!!...lol
#1. Ripping the stage at Hustle Palooza.

God is so GREAT...and this trip has cemented the fact that I am moving in the right direction. Follow your dream and you will fulfill your purpose. The movement is growing.....Check The performance at The Light Bar below......

LET IT GO....BE FREE...BE HAPPY

I was listening to Mary J Blige song My Life yesterday and after loving that song and album for so many years and hearing the song itself countless times....I finally get it.


Life can be only what you make it
When youre feelin down
You should never fake it
Say whats on your mind
And youll find in time
That all the negative energy
It would all cease

And youll be at peace with yourself
You wont really need no one else
Except for the man up above
Because hell give you love

I love Mary....she helped me to open my eyes. 2009 has been AMAZING!!!! Blessings have been abundant....GOD IS GREAT!!

Forgiveness is necessary for true freedom and happiness.

"Say whats on your mind and you'll find in time that all the negative energy it would all cease"...Mary J Blige

Real life in 5....4....3...2...1..... I miss my family so much.I really want to go on a tell all rant about my life right now. The fact that I want to is a breakthrough. I am not one to share my struggles, well.. I try not to burden people with "What Im Going Through". I have shifted a bit in that thinking for two reasons.

1. Holding on to all these thoughts is holding me down like a weight.

2. I REALLY want to be HAPPY and FREE!!!!

Bitterness, wrath, anger, jealousy, envy, regret,and doubt are poison to the mind, body and soul. We have to be true to ourselves. How can you truly experience the happiness that is here for all of us if we allow these emotions to coax us away from what is rightfully ours. FREEDOM!!! HAPPINESS!!! We have been given a spirit of LOVE, POWER and A SOUND MIND!

My goodness I have made some bad decisions in the past...some days I wake up guilt ridden...angry...and full of regret. Sometimes it seems so difficult to pull myself out of that state of mind because its so easy to feel sorry for yourself.

But wait a minute....IM AWAKE!!! WORD!!! THANK YOU GOD!!!!

Be grateful for life, appreciate every breath. It takes time. I know this. And I am starting right now....NOW.
