...And Promise not to Promise Anymore



And So It Goes,
this Soldiers knows,
A Battle with the heart
isnt easily Won.
-Ingrid Michaelson


Ahh, Longform. I've missed it. If you haven't read any of my longform blogs, then hello there. If you have, then I hope you've missed it too. Lord knows that I've been busy enough to warrent some vent time, so damnit, I'm going to use it.

To the uninitiated, call me Ge. I'm twenty two, usually located in the LA area, but for now, find myself elsewhere. I like Movies, Comics, Books, Poetry, and almost everything, except for music. I don't like music. I LOVE music, am IN love with music, and live, breathe, and blled it. I understand that many a folk may say this, and they usually say this to either appear more artsy that they actually are, or to seem passionate about something they only like, because, let's face it; the majority of people saying things of the sort are yet to leave their secure little cacoons and still relate high school with the real world. I understand that high school IS life as you know it, but mark my words: The moment you leave will be the moment you begin to miss it, and that feeling will haunt you and follow you for the remainder of your years, wishing that everything was as simple as it was is high school. No, I say it because it is not only my profession, it's my true passion. I actually get paid to do this, and not a day goes by that I thank my lucky fucking stars that I was actually foolish enough to persue a dream without an inkling of a safety net, and I succeeded. Of at least succeeded to the degree that I do everything that I love, get paid for it, and am not remotly broke, by ANY stretch of the imagination. I'm not one of those "holy shit, I just bought a fucking jet" rich cats, but I'm not broke, which is always good when you have a job in the arts. I'm a music producer, a songwriter, and an audio engineer, and I really dislike when I get asked what type of genre I specialize in. I know it's a pretty straightforward question, so I'll give a straight answer this once; I'm not so much a specialist in one genre, but pretty decent in most genres. I've worked in everal, and gotten pretty good at them. Pop, R*B, Hiphop, Pop Rock, Electronica.... I've done plenty of genres, and I love every single one of them. I hate the question "What's your favorite song" becuase it's too broad. Anyways, Hello. Nice to meet you.

Movement

I've been MAD busy, re-locating, and RE-relocating. Music is perhaps my only constant, since it's my job AND my recreation, as well as one of my many forms of expression. I've actually resorted to the longform in an effort to battle the current writer's block that I'm plagued with. for some reason, I can only write prose, or short/longform blogss and blurbs right now. go fucking figure. I'm trying though. Hopefully this steady diet of Jay-z's latest CD and the New Ms. Michaelson should inspire me to jot a thing or two some. Awh.

New Perspective

Speaking of Music, I am now a part of C.H.E.F. Music, which stands for Creativity is Heard, Emotion is Felt. It's the brainchild of my associate Terry (whom I would call a friend, but to be quite honest, he's my business partner first, my friend second). I have a very good feeling about this, and he's already proved to be quite lucrative. Along with him, I am one of four other people who are equal partners in this company. While I am separated from them, I am still dilligent in holding my own and doing my part, so that when the need of monatary particication is nessesary, I can step up to the plate.

He(a)r (Us)

In the Less business aspect of it, I have been surrounding myself with some new talent, as well as refine some of the talent I am already working with. First with the people you may know (Or not), Kainos has REALLY come into her own. She's been actually getting alot of singing jobs, which is great. She is SO close to recording her first release. I am honestly truly proud of her. For those of you who don't know her, get aquainted with her:



Hello To Mr. Invisible

Precyse is New to the stable of Artist that I normally work with. He's a hard working artist hailing from the Bronx. We recently Pushed out an EP together. I'm Excited to be working with him.

I'm going to cut this post right here, seeing as I've started it on the fourth of September, and I'm only finishing it now... Sad, really...


Till the morrow....

Honestly, dude, I was so confused when I saw the date for this entry. I thought my Google Reader kept this hidden for some reason or other, only to actually post it today. Yeah, I don't know. Anywhoo, I heart Kainos and Precyse (though I haven't talked to him since that first evening, but he seems like a stand-up young man!).

Oh, my gosh. It's raining out. Excuse me while I cut this short and go jump around in the puddles. You know, make the most of it since us LA folk only see rain once or twice a year.

GEEEEEEEOH, write more. Post some of your m.writes prompts because you said you would and never really got around to doing so! Plus, they'll give you a chance to keep up with blogging, right? :]

Also, check this out and click "blog books." http://www.blurb.com/make/flip/

I think that once I have enough entries that I'm proud of, I'll consider using that. It'll be kind of awesome seeing my work in print in a hardcover book. It's not expensive at all, either! You should think of doing that too, for your lyrics and such. :]
