The conversations I have with the kid...

I live a very spicy life, the reference to spicy is because half the time I'm observing things fall apart around me.

I always make wrong decision about things, so on this note I've kinda decided it's who I currently am and will hopefully sort this out when I have time to work on "me". This doesn't mean I'm passive about life, I'm just passive about certain things that might end up effecting me emotionally.

See I'm emotionally lazy and I like that head space because it means I shrug things off and I choose to be happy. It has taken me a long-ass time to get to this faze so I'm blissful in my sort of passive state of mind.

With that said, I have a friend who popped up on my radar last week or two after my breakdown and social detox early this year, I was supposed to meet up with him about some business related stuff, but by then i was too deep inside my head with foolery I just flaked out of it. He is a pretty awesome person, an industry creative who randomly pops up when i clearly seem to need a mental break and that small pow-wow.

I won't give him a name so I'll just refer to him as " the kid". He Was one of the first people who supported my shared streetmag vision and just seemed to sorta be "there". We don't get people like that anymore so I always tend to not be overly appreciative if I notice that characteristic in a person because I don't want to feel jilted should it change.


The kid makes me laugh, in the past we used to chat once in a blue moon, not always but fun conversations when we did. The last few weeks I think we chat almost daily, about random things from hot actresses to eateries around the city & sometimes clothes those are cool conversations but I've realized how smart he is as a person and I love how he thinks, I like how he tries to articulate his aspirations, what he is thinking and the artistic yet visionary future he shares with those close to him.

As an artist he has a solid future in his industry, you know that feeling when you want someone to succeed so bad, that you have a mental map of their path, that's what I have in my head for the kid...

I've realized that with these conversations I'm falling more into myself as a person and recovering from love lost, I dont know if that makes any sense but the kid helps me forget my ex, sure the randomness of my life pops up every now and again but I'm not all that caught on it and most of the time on probably chilled about it. I can now hang out with the ex without feeling like I've lost something, I can chill while she kids around with people and I'm not even fazed. That's a good place to be at, so I'm pretty happy about that.

Now as I live in that calm state of mind, I like these after hour conversations, I love having a friend to say "hi" to "how was your day" to and "goodnight" to after a long ass day of foolery, fashion, work and my ex.

The Kid's awesome.

Drake ~ Girls Love Beyonce Feat. James Fauntleroy by octobersveryown

I like Drake, I've said silly shit about Drake...

I've made fun of his eye brows, 

I've been mean about drake 

But I really dig drake and I dig this new joint.

lyrics


[Verse 1: Drake]
Look
I know girls love Beyoncé
Girls love to fuck with your conscience
Girls hate when niggas go missing and shawty you ain’t no different
These days it’s hard to meet women
Feel like my love life is finished
I’ve been avoiding commitment
That’s why I’m in this position
I’m scared to let somebody in on this
No new friends, no no no
You know how this shit go
You got your fair share of admirers that call your phone
You try to act like it’s just me, but I’m not alone
But if you’re alone then, say my name, say my name

[Hook: James Fauntleroy]
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say, “Baby, I love you”
If you ain’t running games
Say my name, say my name
You actin’ kinda shady, baby
Why the sudden change?
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/drake-girls-love-beyonce-lyrics.html ]
[Verse 2: Drake]
Yeah
Uh
Say my name, say my name
‘Cause those other men are practice
And this ain’t no time for actin’
And this ain’t no time for games
And this ain’t no time for uncertainty
And this ain’t no time for locking your phone and not coming home and startin’ some shit when I’m in the zone
This is why I’ve been saying
No new friends, no no no
You know how this shit goes
This is not four years ago
Time escapes me
Now forget how it felt when this shit move slow
I come through in whips that make a young boy take the long way home
All my young boys ‘round me saying, “Get money and fuck these hoes”
Where we learn these values? I do not know what to tell you
I’m just trying to find a reason not to go out every evening
I need someone that’ll help me think of someone besides myself
I need someone I leave through the front door with
‘Cause we don’t wanna hide no more
‘Cause you’re not shy no more
Neither one of us wanna play the side no more
No, I’m not alone
Even though nothing was the same
Let me get your ass alone
Let me make you say my name
Say my name

[Hook: James Fauntleroy]
Say my name, say my name
When no one is around you
Say, “Baby, I love you”
If you ain’t running games
Say my name, say my name
You actin’ kinda shady, baby
Why the sudden change?
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name
Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you

What are we up to?

I don't know what im up to but I know I'm actually happy... I AM HAPPY. It's that simple, last weekend I OD'd on a herbal substance I consume for medical reasons... I OD'd hard.. I was out from Friday till Sunday, this is where I cue in the *FUCK MY LIFE* line...

On the real, it was the most calming weekend I've had in ages. Monday was a but downhill but I handled it like a grown up. *BE PROUD OF ME DEMIT*


So with that as a weekend memory, I heard it was Easter weekend... Did you enjoy it?
