Have You Ever...

Have you ever...


*wondered what life would be like if you accomplished everything that you ever dreamed of?

*tasted just a portion of what you considered to be success, only to have it stricken from you?

*thought that you were investing too much time into something that was pulling you away from your "purpose"?

*desired something so deeply that the desperation makes you consider pushing morals/values aside to obtain it?

*dreamt something so vivid and tangible, it convinces you that it IS meant for your possession?

*let a phobia retract you from something above and beyond excellence?

*fully submerged yourself, head first, into a situation with no knowledge of what's waiting at the bottom?

*loved??? Anything? Anyone?

HOLD UP (nate dogg voice)

I might as well give you this also... You know you missed it!!!!

Shayne's Jam(s) Of The Day!!!

I'm on my down south shit right now! It keeps me inspired for some reason. When i listen to these two songs, i just wanna run out and do something! Get your listen on folks!

Triple C's - GO
Birdman Ft. Drake & Lil' Wayne - Money To Blow

I just wanna be... I Just Wanna Be SUCCESSFUL!

Well... Where do i begin?... I do realize that most of my "recent" posts have major gaps and delays between them, but i can assure you that there are definitely valid reasons.

I've been keeping busy as of late. I'm in hot pursuit of the limelight and the flashing lights! lol well... at least a stable music career. I took it upon myself to get up off of my lazy ass over the last couple of months, make the necessary connections, and get back to my aspirations as a songwriter.... I EVEN DECIDED TO GIVE MY SHYNESS ITS WALKING PAPERS AND PURSUE ARTISTRY! Go Me! Taking all of the mandatory steps hasn't been easy at all but i'm definitely doing whatever it takes to make quality music, be heard, and revive the R&B genre from destruction :). I'm in and out of a couple of studios on a daily basis, to ensure that the vision I have for my music is fully portrayed (which is also why some of these tracks are taking so long). I've come to realize, through the recording process, that I am more of a perfectionist than i initially anticipated, which is both a blessing and a curse. I'm just happy to be back to what i truly love to do, and what i was put on this planet to do: Entertain & Inspire. Since, i've been doing some recent networking, I've been notified that there is more of a need for R&B artists/songwriters too (since everybody WANTS to be a rapper now). I've been approached by a few local (and fairly known) independent artists to do hooks, and even write entire songs. Since I recently aquired my BMI writer's licensing, that won't be a problem (had to make sure i was copywriting my ish!)

So, keep me in your prayers, as i attempt to knock down a few doors, and make my way into the industry.... and i promise, i'll attempt to keep you more updated on whats going on in my life. Sometimes, its just a lil difficult to blog and write after being burned out from writing songs. Peace! (gotta go make some hits)

Its ME BITCHES!!!

Pardon, my language! Just extremely excited! I've been keeping myself busy these days (or at least attempting to). As of late, I've been doing lots of writing and soul-searching, and I feel as though I am really beginning to break out of my shell! Getting bold with my old age (had the big 21st BDAY since we last spoke). Missed you guys lots!!!! Check out the new bold me! lol :) There will definitely be more to come... GET READY! I know I am!

WE CHILLIN'!!!

ITS SUMMER TIME BABY!

It's about time to let the battle of the hottest summer jam ensue! I am on the quest to find these said "jams" and deliver them to you in a timely manner!

Now, that being said, I came up on this little gem, watching MTV Jams, while relaxing & trying not to die of an asthma attack from my morning workout. That is none of your concern... anyways... Check this one out! It comes from an up-and-coming DC native, and a well known skank-a-licious pop star on the rise. I guarantee it'll be embedded in your brain for at least a month's time!

Wale ft. Lady Gaga - Chillin (Prod. by Cool & Dre)

Swagger like US???




Link: Michael Jackson - Scream

Welcome To Atlanta, where the playas play!

So... As I further my quest in world domination, and my pursuit in extreme happiness, I have been pondering my next career move. Thinking not only in hypothetical senses, I am continuing to seek out every possible avenue to get me to my next step. Not to take it to the biblical aspect, BUT.... I desire to not only fulfill my potential to the fullest extent, but also to find my God given purpose in this world, as I'm sure we all should be doing. That being said.... I am in dire need of relocation, and a total shift in my focuses.


Cakes just recently spent the weekend in one of our beloved locations (which we also are heavily considering).... the greater Atlanta metropolitan area. I believe that "Hot"lanta provides every possible option, career wise, for anyone who's established, or if you're just looking for a fresh start with something to build on. We have a few friends in the area, i could easily transfer my position with my current job, and Cakes could do the same. 

SEEEMS LIKE A GO RIGHT? WRONG!!! 

We both have ties here in boring/crowded Palm Beach, and our financial situations would need some major restructuring to make this move possible. but you know what, I Don't Care! I'm getting off my lazy/complacent ass and doing what I can, to not only better my current state, but to also prepare for a transition... with my baby by my side!

There are so many wonderful things to do and see in the lovely GA, and I'm absolutely itching for the chance just to be in the thick of it all. I have to admit... I was wee bit jealous that I didn't get the opportunity to go last weekend, due to the lack of coverage at work. But its all good.... i will be there soon enough (BDAY WEEKEND), to get my chicken and waffles on... and soak up some Georgia sun!

Realist ish i ever wrote... CHILLIN IN MY MAYBACH!

So... in lieu of my minor disappearance, i decided that it wouldn't be fair/right for me to just return to bloggerdom without gifting to you my fabulous.....

Shayne's Jam(s) Of The Day!!!

These couple of joints, i happened to stumble on via satellite, and various music web outlets, have been rotating amongst my Ipod for the last couple of weeks.

I think you will like these, and if you don't.... you know what you can do! Enjoy!

Chester French ft. Diddy & Jadakiss - Ciroc Star
Lil' Wayne ft. Kevin Rudolf - Spit
Diddy ft. Yung Joc - Diddy Bop
Rick Ross ft. Kanye West, T-Pain, & Lil' Wayne - Maybach Music 2

I'm Sorry for... 200_!!!

I feel absolutely terrible guys! 

I have failed you! 
I have abandoned you and left you to your boring, monotonous, dull, unexciting, mundane, party-less, unfulfilling, tedious, uneventful, meaningless.... yet blessed lives! YOU KNOW YOU MISS ME!

I am attempting to get back into the swing of things here in blogger world, as i battle my extreme writer's block symptoms, which have in some way been created by...... TWITTER!

An instant outlet of 140 letters or less, is instantly/exceptionally more gratifying, than having to map out an entire back story on how i feel exactly at any given moment. SO AGAIN.... SORRY! But i'm trying.... get off my back!

Its OUR anniversary!

Who here was a fan of " The Cosby Show"????

Not to be confused with the terrible spin off "Cosby", which in my mind TANKED, with its plethora of "up and coming" and rapper/actors. The Cosby Show became the american example of the way black households were perceived, but in a positive manner. Everyone is intimately familiar with its eclectic cast, and can relate in some way to the issues that the show tackled. I was elated (even though i missed it) to hear that the cast of the show would be celebrating their 25th anniversary on The Today Show! Watch here, with glee as I did, as the cast shares memorable moments with Matt.

As a complete side note (as Cakes observed and shared with me), take particular note of how when "Claire" speaks, the set gets especially quiet to listen to her words of wisdom! BLACK MAMA SPEAKS! lol
