It’s really hard to believe that you’ve been gone for so long now. Today marks the anniversary of when I heard the news that shook my world. It feels like yesterday, doesn’t it? I still remember when Tim came over and told me everything. I didn’t even believe it at first. In fact, I refused to believe it. But here we are, years later, and it’s definitely a reality. I’m telling you, it’s still a trip…and I’d be lying if I said I was over everything.

“Don’t get impatient when it takes too long
Drink it all even when it tastes too strong”

- Drake on “Light Up

August. August oh August, how I needed you. In case you might’ve missed it, July was quite the dramatic month for me. Between work to family to females, it was “eventful” to say the least. So with August, things returned back to normal. I was finally able to breathe again and return to the swing of things. For once in my life, I welcomed normalcy. I was able to get back to music, to family, and to friends. I managed to take back control of my life and steer it where I wanna’ steer it. I got back to the calm.

“I’m on the pursuit of happiness, and I know
everything that shine, ain’t always gonna be gold
I’ll be fine, once I get it
I’ll be good”

- Kid Cudi on “Pursuit of Happiness

They say when it rains, it pours. I’ve also heard that when it shines, it blinds. Well, that pretty much sums up the month that was July. There should really be one saying that encompasses both. Hands down, July was one of the most rollercoaster months EVER for me. Actually, that’s a consistent theme in my life, but it was more evident than ever in July. It was crazy. It was dramatic. And yes, it definitely pushed me to the limit. I’m not even sure how it happened, but I’m glad to be in August. That’s really weird to say, especially since my birthday’s in July (and I always look forward to July). But yes, let me tell you all about it.

“Now I could let these dream killers kill my self-esteem
Or use my arrogance as the steam to power my dreams
I use it as my gas, so they say that I’m gassed
But without it I’d be last, so I ought to laugh”

- Kanye West on “Last Call

What is the deal my peoples? I mean really, what is goin’ on! As you can imagine, I’m excited. Actually, excited would be an understatement. Finally, after talking trash for months and months and months (shoot, even years if you’ve been keeping up with me), the new website is FINALLY here. FINALLY, the work that I’ve been doing for so long has come to fruition. FINALLY, I’m able to share with you the project that I’ve spent so much time on. It’s a beautiful feeling, I’m telling you.

So, for those loyalists that have been checking for me throughout the years, thank you and welcome back. And for those that’re new to the site, thank you too…and I hope I can continue to see you. The Opinions Column was once the place where I talked all the trash that I wanted to, rambled on about whatever, spoke my mind about what’s goin’ on in my life, got introspective about the happenings around me, and just opened up. Well, nothing has changed. This is still the spot where I will talk about anything and everything, whether it be music, movies, females (uh oh), or whatever else. This is the spot where you can get into my head.
