Last night, me and MyFavoritePersonInTheWorld went to see the Lakers play the Bobcats. May not seem like a game of any relevance, especially in February, but it was a game only 20,000+ were able to experience in person. I was SUPER happy to be one of them.
No one wouldve guessed that Phil Jackson would continue coaching after the glory days in Chicago unraveled. No one wouldve guessed that he would come to the Lakers and win a championship his first year. And not ONE person couldve guessed that not only would Phil STILL be the coach of the Lakers (10 years and 6 finals appearances later) but that he would become the GREATEST COACH IN LAKER HISTORY (in regards to wins).
You know that scene at the end of the movie “Pursuit of Happyness” when Will Smith is walking down the street full of crowded people and begins to cry a little bit because he just got the job at the firm? That’s kind of how I feel right now.
Ive worked soooooo hard throughout my life, chasing my dreams even when people told me they weren’t attainable. Ive played music for people, who in return told me I wasnt ready..or that I should consider other options. Family members constantly reminding me that making it in music is a “one and a million” chance.
And here we are, Jan 28th 2010 and tickets for my first official tour have gone on sale. Life is crazy.
Nothing that has happened to me has been luck, or chance…just skill, practice, and hardwork. I don’t believe in luck, because that’s discrediting the amount of hours I’ve put into something.
I obviously still have a LONG way to go..but so did WIll Smith at the end of the movie, that doesnt mean that he and I both can’t sit back for a second and be proud of what we have done so far.
I may be young, and have a lot of life left to live….but I can honestly say that I am living proof that dreams do come true! (It’s a lot of fun when they do!!…lol)
I thank you all for your complete support, as always! See you on tour!!!!!!!
MacGruberrrrrrrrrrr! This might be a movie I actually pay to see, and then go sneak into another.
Starring Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Ryan Phillippe, Powers Boothe, Maya Rudolph & Val Kilmer
Man, Val Kilmer used to be big a star, Ryan Phillippe too. What happened to them? Val Kilmer is the poor man’s Brad Pitt. Ryan Phillippe is the poor man’s Ryan Phillippe. Matt Damon, Chris Pine, Chris Evans, Hayden Christensen, Heath Ledger (RIP), Michael Cera, to name a few, all beat out Ryan for a role. Even Paul Walker gets roles over you…maybe. Now that I think of it, I don’t know whose the poor man’s version of who, Paul Walker is Ryan Phillippe’s or Ryan Phillippe is Paul Walker’s.
2010 is looking like it will be a HUGE year for me and my bro XV. Me and XV met in 09 backstage at SOBs in New York. We were already familiar with each others work and were fans, so it was a no-brainer that we’d hit the studio later that night.
At the studio, we had a conversation that lasted for HOURS about women, video games, and everything in between. From then on, we talk all the time about what 2010 will bring….its now time.
Yooooo! Im back to blogging guys! I took a brief hiatus to work on a few projects…one of them in particular is coming out REAL soon and it will be HUGE!
Thank you to all that play my music and come to my shows. 2010 is our year!!
