Creating Solid Stone

#throwback to 20 lbs ago or November 2013 when I volunteered at the #midnightmission with @fvinthecommunity, helping feed the homeless and less fortunate on skid row in downtown #LosAngeles. Fast forward to this past weekend and @fvinthecommunity has expanded to #Vegas. We volunteered at the #convoyofhope serving over 10,000 people in need. We served food, similar to 2 years ago, but on a different and grander scale. I'm glad to be a part of such a great organization. Shout out to @mrfunkvolume and @defnotela for making this happen every month for last 5 years. #payitforward #funkvolume #tb #stillmovin

Soooo... I signed my first ear today! Lol thanks @janelle.reyess! Rolling with @isuppose818 is loads of fun. Shout out @wazeone and de de de @defnotela!

#tbt if you know me, you've heard me swear I'll get a #sixpack soon, but I've yet to the achieve that #goal. This is me 2 years ago. I was 20 lbs lighter and the closes I've ever been. This is also the time I started shooting our #music #videos; I finished #MarisolsInterlude and started planning #DontStop. I was overwhelmed and veered of course... again. And now it's even harder to stay on point when I'm #traveling to different cities, #shooting and #editing videos, #rehearsing for our shows or #writing music while holding down a 9 to 5 and going to #school. There's so much to do and only 24 hours in the day. But I haven't quit. I still want to be #fit. No matter how many times I lose my way, I find my way back. Don't let any setback make you feel like a failure. If you want it, get back up and try again... and again... and again, until you get what you want. It might be a few months, or 10 years. I'll get there. I won't ever stop trying.

Last night #Riverside was on point! We got so much love (big difference from 3 weeks ago) as @defnotela and I performed our last show with @OHNOfromLA and the #NoLabelTour2015 @enfinal @myfavrapperguy @thehyphenate. Shout out to @lewimusic for coming to see us and taking video of our performance (I'll put it on Facebook.) We got most of the artist together to sing #happybirthday to @shoortybri and lyric. Long drive back home, then up early for our @fvinthecommunity. We worked with #AChildsDream to pass out school materials, clothes and shoes to the less fortunate, even haircuts to have them looking #fresh for the new school year. Now on our way to perform in #Ontario with the homies @storie_smg and @official_skunkwork from #StruggleMade. Let's get it! #hiphop #music #OhnoFromLA #funkvolume #communityservice #NoLabelTour #Roadwork

I was really impressed by this #quote from #NeilGaiman. I never thought of it this way. Shout out to all my people who still #read. #goodreads #books #dreams #writer

Had lots of fun today #shooting and #editing @defnotela's video for the #DFUOB7 competition. Being creative brings me peace. #funkvolume #dfuob #hiphop #music #artist #graffity #canon #ollo #stillmovin #Roadwork #StayOnIt

Thanks @mirage_air for decorating my folder! Now when I work, I'll do it in style. She's a very talented artist and makes me want to start drawing again. Check out her page. #artist #drawing #inspiration
