Rich Rider is the only man who makes a mullet look good and that’s a fact

Jeez, where has this year gone? Its flying by.... I'm at an interesting point in my life. As always, its never a dull moment in the life of paranoid, impatient, whimsical, relentless artist-perfectionist. Since moving to Brooklyn, I'm feeling an unnecessary pressure to fit a series of events into a unrealistic timeline. A flaw that undoubted may never fade into the abyss but hopefully in my coming years, I'll be on better terms with it. A lot has happened. I've been back in the studio working on brand new music. Excited is not even the word. I just want to share this experience with the world. I feel like I know what I'm doing. The trail and error in my earlier years have truly been an eye opener. I'm just ready. My excitement has brought some major impatience, though. As I know have the opportunity to go to more shows, the desire to get back on stage is something I truly miss more and more. I'm homesick. But lately, my sense of time grows worse and worse. I feel like I'm running out of time? I also feel like I do have something to prove. Now, I'm the last person to really give a shit what someone thinks or has to say about me, but I think in regards to my music, it's important that people know exactly who I am and what I come to do. There's so much out there and you can get lost in the shuffle. There's always been something different with me. I feel it, I see it. I don't want to lose that. I guess I'm just being a baby but it's never a easy feat merging your career and passion as one and then having to deal with other people not seeing it's value or importance. It's happening less and less, but it's still annoying. I just want to finish these damn albums and get the hell on with my life. Sing. Perform. Write. Touch. Inspire. Travel. (I'm so ready to get out of the US!) LIVE.MY.LIFE. A life full of meaning and purpose. It's hard crawling when you are ready to walk and run. Love has been a reoccurring topic on my mantle, as well. A lot of my friends are getting married and having kids and while I'm not ready to do either right now, I do feel a sense of longing to find someone. My relationships are very important to me, family and friendship wise. And with majority of my friends and family going off and doing their own thing, our time together becomes less and less. It sucks but that's life. I definitely feel no pressure settling down but it would be nice to have someone to talk to on a semi-consistent basis. And not via text message. I like real connections, interactions; I love seeing body language, looking into people's eyes, getting a sense of their being. Everyone wants this perfect, quick and easy road to love. It's work, people. Don't commit to anything if you don't want to get your hands dirty. It's been on my mind lately. I feel as if I'm ready though there haven't been too many promising prospects. I'm definitely looking for love in all the wrong places but it's so deliciously unappetizing that it's hard to break away... I do not settle for less because I'm desperate for love or attention. I'd rather be single then to put up with ANY abuse just for the sake of being with someone! A friend of mine was in this relationship and the guy called her every name in the book and said you're a non factor to me. You are bringing down my quality of life. Who does that? It's not worth it. I get that relationships aren't perfect but that's unacceptable. It never works out when only one person is committed to doing the work. I've put in the necessary work to get to a better state of being, mentally, physically, spiritually, etc. life is about learning, evolving and growing and loving. I just refuse to cheapen my value for something of little to no substance. I've seen enough bad relationships to last me a lifetime, trust me. But on the flip side, I don't want to be DMX; the dude with all of those damn dogs. What to do, what to do? Ultimately, I don't want to crate a life for myself that is all work, work, work. But I just bought a pair of running shoes so maybe I'll run into the love of my life on the jogging trail. I've been thinking about my family a lot. I miss them. My sister just came back to NY after separating with her boyfriend at the time. We just started speaking again and I truly missed that for the last year. We were so busy being angry at each other we forgot about the love. It was good to hug her and hold her. I love her but I like the person she is becoming and she's kinda listening to big bro ;) I'm proud of my brother. He released a coffee table book called, LAUNDRY, collection of photos and poems/short stories. It's amazing, obviously (I will post links to where you can get it as soon as I have a stable internet connection. Woes of life). I smile because I feel he is coming to realize his greatness and potential. Its one thing to have people say that you're talented and another when you actually see and feel it. People are/get inspired bc you are. That inspiration always come from a deep and vulnerable space and to have the courage to put it on display is no easy feat. But it's admirable. I admire his courageousness. I've always look up to him. Everyone wants to be just like their older sibling. I'm still hoping we can do more artistic collaborations. How dope would that be? I can't wait. My siblings and I would be a force to reckon with; my chef sister, my graphic designer/photographer/illustrator/writer brother and little old me, the recording artist. I think about my mom a lot. I want her to get better. Her life has been turned upside down since this car accident. I'm hurt or in pain when she is. The worst thing in the world is seeing your mom going through something and there's nothing you can do about it. God. I'm tearing up. What a mess. I love my mommy. She's the reason why. Well, I should probably go to sleep, been up since 1. After seeing Ben (google Michael Jackson's, "Ben"), it's been kinda hard to go to sleep. -d.
