La-La Land
Posted: August 10, 2008 at 12:31 pm | Tags: bernie mac, Music, philly, writingThis is my last day in Philly. Awwww. Tomorrow, it’s back to reality. Well almost. Tomorrow, it’s actually get on a plane to Indiana and go to a funeral, then back on a plane to Atlanta in about 24 hours. THEN it’s back to reality. Hope my electricity’s still on when I get there (lol).
My time in PA was quite productive. I did 6 songs total, 4 of which were completely new, 2 I just re-cut. And of the new ones, I’ve got 2 that wowed ME! =) I can only imagine what a foolish-beast I’d be if I really had time to sit and write and vibe most days. And speaking of foolish-beasts, the guys who did the production on the songs- Jason and Justin (no crew nickname necessary)- DID THEIR MUH-F***IN’ THING! Yeah, I love their ish. We make beautiful music together. I love it when I find music that “makes” me write better. One thing this week did show me is that I can perform under (slight) pressure….lol, I made a deal that I’d do 3 songs in a day…and that, my friends, has your girl feelin’ like her pen swag may just be a-ok. I think the confidence has grown a lil. Stay tuned….

And as I’m laying here in bed with some funny respiratory issues- my throat, chest and lungs are playing tricks on me- I’m a lil nervous being that one of our comedic greats just passed from complications with pneumonia. Bernie Mac was only 50 when he passed away on Saturday. It was one of those times where I felt weird because, though I didn’t personally know him, I felt like I lost someone close to me. I felt that way when Aaliyah passed, and I’m sure alot of people were touched by hearing about this loss. It’s crazy because I’d read that he was sick, but they said he was much better and would be released from the hospital soon. I guess when it’s your time, though, it’s just that. I still watch the Bernie Mac Show reruns faithfully and crack up. I still mock his character from The Player’s Club (“That’s good…..you quick on your feet!”). He will definitely be missed by many. R.I.P. Bernie.
On that note, I think I’m gonna drag my lazy, semi-sick butt out of bed, and go get some food and meds. Latersssss…..
