It has been almost three years since I have written in this blog. Looking back, it is almost like reading someone else's diary. What is most amazing to me is that through all this struggle, I never imagined that I would end up on this side. Although I am still in a financial pickle - I am happy, secure, confident and aware of myself in a way that gives me hope for the future. Pretty far fetched from the girl that wanted to tuck her tail between her legs at any mention of confrontation and sucked her thumb in self-pity. I think that it is time you heard stories of some triumph instead of all the wallowing. So - I am just going to fill you in on a few things that have been happening - if I had more time (I am about to go see KDTU at the El Rey) I would really tell you EVERYTHING. For now - here are the highlights 1) my EP is finished and I am so proud - I have been searching craigslist every day for opportunities to spread my wings. So far this has been fairly fruitful. 1) I may be doing a recording project a la a white Sharon Jones 2) I am filming a scene in an indie movie on Monday lip synching to one of my tracks and through other connections - I have gotten myself into a Bessie Smith tribute show that has been already written up in Flavorpill and the LA Weekly. Oh yeah - I forgot - I met a DJ that loved my shit and she wants to put me on her show. THings are good. Life is good. I can't remember what it is like to be kissed, but it just doesn't matter. Seriously. Had my cards and my palms read (yes palms as in plural - both) last week and didn't really want to know about romance - my focus is totally on my career right now. I am fine with it. I am fine with where I am and where I am going. I have been very busy planting so many seeds and realizing that I need to have patientce and earn every step that I climb on the ladder. This may seem simplistic to you, but for me, it is years in the making.
OK - have to go change. Have a wonderful Saturday night!
