It is almost Christmas! I am soooo excited! This is probably the first year in a long time that there are presents under the tree that I have no clue what they are.
This break came at exactly the right time, and so far its been awesome. I’ve really been in this place lately where my close friends and family are most important to me, and I want them to know that. For my family for Christmas I found a huge picture frame that holds like 24 photos and I’m filling with pictures of my parents before they were married, pictures of my brother and I when we were little, and current pictures. Its awesome, best present I’ve ever given. For my friends, with everybody's present is a card. So far I’ve gotten more compliments on the cards rather than the gifts, that makes me so happy because they weren’t generic at all, I put a lot of meaning into cards when I write them.
Christmas has a way of making people think differently, and I wish it were the same way all year. I’ve been channeling into everything that’s good in life: my family, friends, laughing, NOT stressing. For a while I was sorta down over a person… but why when the best is to come? I’ve got everything I need right now, and it all makes me very happy.
Are you sick of that word yet? “Happy”. Well, I so am, and I hope you are too!
Something weird happened this past week, and I feel the need to share. There is this new music venue I’m totally into right now. The people who own it are pretty much the coolest people I’ve ever met. Any way, one of my best friends and I are telling another friend about it and he asks us if they’d do a rap battle. So we go talk to them at an open mic night. We walk in and ask Aaron (the sound guy) if we can talk to Kevin (the owner) so he takes like up these back steps into this apartment, I totally felt apart of the mafia, it was cool. So we pitch the idea and he tells us, “yeah, yeah, we’d be down for a rap battle, we just don’t really have an audience for hip-hop. We really need promoters, do you guys want to be our hip-hop promoters?” Turns out we get a cut of whatever they make from the turnout. So what am I now? Yes, I am in fact a hip-hop promoter. Never would have guessed, huh?
I’m taking this opportunity as a chance to possibly change my life. I know, drastic. But never in a billion years would I have guessed I’d be asked to promote hip-hop music for an alternative venue. So maybe this is telling me that there is more to life than what I’ve planned out so far. What if I decide I want to manage music or own a venue? And never before in my life would I have been okay with that decision, but right now, I could totally see myself doing something like that and feeling like I have everything. why not? For too long I’ve had a definition for happy, but what’s wrong with finding it? Right now, everything that is going on in my life makes me happy. I’m in love with it.
Things happen how they’re supposed to, truly! Just put everything aside and you’ll figure out what matters.
I wish everybody a very Merry Christmas and entire holiday season. Be safe! I hope Santa brings it all
