edit, since certain people like to nitpick...

I woke up...with an ephiphany...word to Big Pooh (deer in the headlights, cuz NONE'A'YALL listen to LB, prolly Bills & Dawuan, that's it)



I must say that these 2 months in 2008 have been more eye-opening than the majority of my adult life. I woke up this morning next to my WIFE, got up and put clothes on my DAUGHTER, and went to WORK...that is just crazy to me. If you ever think Jesus isn't real, look at me. Everything I've prayed for over the years has come true, I'm living it and loving it.



I know my old fans are starving for new music and my new fans (whuddup YHC) are fiending to know more. After my show on Friday, I've come to realize that I'm not the biggest fan of my old stuff (even Closer *gasp*) and I wanna begin the next chapter of the legacy that is Armond.



I'm literally walking around with a mixtape on the blackberry. I have soooo much new material. Its so light, so inspiring, so amazing. Gone is the ventilation (it pokes out err once in awhile) I'm so light, so airy, I can't wait to show the world.



I'm excited to debut EffecTV, ill definitely have some more video when I get in the stu, yall just need to pull together and get your dude a camera, my tax return aint even here yet and its GONE!!!!!!



Music next week I promise

i'll just start by posting the vid up 1st, concert review below



i got to the place around 6:15, after dodging potholes & making wrong turns for 20 minutes, i was a little more than happy to get off the road. band's are setting up, i'm thinking "dang i wish i had a band to set up with"...maybe I should've brought my Rock Band game so I could fit in. I haven't been this nervous for a show in years, "maybe I'll mess some lines up", "maybe they won't like me, this crowd looks like a rock crowd", "don't nobody wanna hear no rapper"...

I go outside & call Ca$h, somebody I THOUGHT would've given me words of encouragement, who I've done countless shows with, someone who I've been to hell & back with...he laughs at me :-( then he gives me words of encouragement. My phone's blowing up with emails, texts, and IMs asking if I've went on yet (yeah, cuz if i'm performing, i'ma stop the song to respond to your message :-| )

It's 7pm, lights dim...Showgun begins the show. I like rock, but not the screaming into the mic rock. But these guys are good, and not one of them looks a day over 21. My daughter has her own little mosh pit, she's killing the game, in her own little world. They do their thing...

I go on 2nd, I'm nervous, my blatter doesn't like me right now. There's a pretty decent sized crowd there, NOBODY i invited shows up, not in the mood to care.

song by song rundown

Victory-

apparently they can't hear a thing i'm saying...beat's too loud, we're still working out the mic issues. doesn't really go over well. i'm getting the "deer in the headlights" look

Dreaming-

this beat is UNDENIABLE!!!! thank you Sandman (do do doo do...red glare). crowd's rocking a little more, still can't hear what i'm saying, not as bad as Victory though.

Anything Is Possible-

goes over REALLY well, watch the video

Beautiful-

crowd starts to die down a little...i'm paying too much attention to my child & my wife to care

Closer-

murders the game (as usual)...added a little drama to the 3rd verse (hi-five Jesus for the idea). people said they got goosebumps

after the show, i announce i have cds for free & i got RUSHED...SMH @ these 2 kids stealing copies of a free CD. you could tell they were really genuine, I've never got that before. Usually shows consist of a bunch of random groups & they invite all their friends out to support them. nobody's there for good music. I guess that's the difference between the former & a Godly environment.

i had to leave early, after my head was placed in the clouds, it hit the ground again, as daddy duty called. but all in all i had fun & i'd LOVE to do it again (holla @ me Jeremy!!!)

I had no clue what to write about, but the fact that I can post from the blackberry is dope. Early Christmas present...

Tomorrow is my 1st show in a year and a half. I'm nervous just thinking about it. One minute I wasn't even on rap like that, now I gotta perform for 30 minutes, craziness. I expect a small crowd, but I like the intimacy of it. I can just connect with a few people, get a feel for the music and where I wanna go with it. Pray that I don't forget my lines.

I've had a lot of crap go on this week, and I've had to make some choices to benefit the fam. Bros before...yeah. I'm lightweight mad @ what I had become. But I see that's what life is, trial and error. Sometimes you just wanna touch the stove until you get burnt. Then after you get burnt, you convince yourself it didn't hurt that bad & you do it again. So I have some pent up aggression that's gonna be left on the stagea. Excuse me if I throw a mic stand.

BUT, lesson learned. I still don't trust too much of anything that lives outside my house. Maybe I've become so set in my ways, I don't even wanna bother with change.

I dunno, I'm just rambling. I'm tired, its been a long day, and I have stuff to do when I get home. Ill have some video footage up this weekend. EffecTV youtube channel coming soon...

Oh, and I have NO clue when ill be recording music. 2 year olds have issues with home studios (or maybe its just my 2 year old). I got some heat written on the blackberry though. I'm especially hype about a song called "Voices", it basically about the voices in your head & the entire song is trying to figure out if its God, or discernments, or flesh, even demon spirits...its hot.

Yup, still rambling, lemme hit send. Lord let this last hour go by fast...

so somebody heard this song...



yeah, somebody heard THIS song & emailed my boy Ca$h about it. it was right on time because i was in one of those "is it worth it" mindstates...

"Let There Be Light" brought tears to my eyes man...it's like, that shit came from part of my soul even though I wasn't there...I haven't written poetry or music in probably a couple of months but it's one of those songs that you here and can't help but spill you guts on a pad man...it became a part of me and I think that it's like anything pure...only the real can take it, the average person would OD...Love and Peace always man, you know it..."

i guess i need to stop looking at these people that reach millions with mindless junk (Lord forgive me for comparing) & be happy with those that He's placed in my path to touch. i'm sorry guys...
