The Heart

now think of the number of people who fail to speak
from the heart and hold their tongues..

but think of those who do and who have done that
and ultimately they usually end up in a place most
fear of.. That my friends would be death..
but think about it...

that is the only thing promised
and why not fight for what you beilileve in or
for your dreams and what not.. i mean
what have we got to lose anyway?
our life?

which wont be taken before our time as long
as we do right.. and doing right only seems
hard because we have been doin wrong for
so long thats why its easier..
imagine if you just did what was right early
on and listend to your elders who spoke from
the heart and from expierence..

i bet bad wouldnt be so easy

i applaud the guilty feeling people cause i do
admit i am not one of them but now have started
to dabble in it alot..

i always did people right you know and am down
its just when i got crossed and i spoke from the heart
the hurt and pain the good and bad..
im BLUNT.. like it or love it i dont know nothing but
that... but thats about it..

speak from the heart..

dress well..



and dont be afraid to be you..
i mean afterall.. thats the greatist gift you can give
to yourself..

INDIVIDUALITY!

Iron Chef...

Man so I just have to say I love this show for sure!
You know how people say they watch those geek
Type shows like its a fad and me, I really do..

How its made, biography, the Green Channel,
History Channel, Travel Channel, I am really up
On game and these other people acting smart
Or into it which really are not and prolly on that
MTV and new age cartoons..

Speaking of Cartoons, if your my age or around it
And watch anything after rocket power, y'all some
Little kids and need to grow up.. update the old school
Cartoon lab and handle biz... plus, get on that Adult
Swim if your gonna watch them.. I do admit though,
I tend to watch a lot of movies but more like studing
Actors cause I wanna do that also...

This is all to say, be you...

The Hair..

this would be considered something i'd like
to call the MULLET HAWK...

simple and not too much but again no too little
you know..

-Joon

Wide Eyes...

I barely sleep still, I have cleaned some stuff up
In my life though, at times let's say...

New hair cut.. New hair color.. Same me.. but I'm
Always changing.. it takes a strong person, comfortable
Person to be able to adapt to change.. Sit outside
Of comfort zones though the best thing about it is that
It builds character.. It builds you..

Change is beautiful to me...

Matter of a fact, its one of the greatist gifts that are given
To a person is the ability to change though change if you
Will for the better of more than yourself..

Speaking of that, don't forget to keep consistancys in your
Life like being on time, persistance, confidence, respect,
Integrity, dignity, amongst other things specific to you..

PEOPLE WILL LOVE YOU FOR THAT

PEOPLE WILL HATE YOU FOR THAT

To let everyone know also, I am on my grind doin what
The dreams lead me to do, going where God takes me...
All apart of the struggle to gain trust cause the riches are
Promised its just, what will we do as people when we get
Them.. I am on that's ready for the responsibility..
The lights, stares, stars, people, critisism... man I'm so
Ready, though it takes more than me..

Songs will hopefully be up soon... in preperation for it
And make sure you all hear it first..
Support me as I would you all..

* photos will be up of the hair too..

R E S P E C T !

Good 'ol respect...

Now lest be honest about this word..
The first nigga that demands it is usually the last nigga
That happens to be giving it especially in the way that
They want it the most..

So where is this coming from some can wonder?
Well I'm formulating something new with some partners
Of mine and I hope to start a movement of talented and
Creative individuals... Now I'm not saying I am the brains
Of the operation for the reasons of "respect" and ego's but
I barked the idea out and this is how it all came about...

I'm kind of an oppurtunist, but a logical one at that especially
When it comes to business and things that I am trying to do
In my life... Doesn't mean I jump at each and every oppurtunity
Coming my way but what's logically best and beneficial despite
Money or not... But in this game the more people the more
Problems, the more difficult money becomes.

The Situation:

We are in a room at a specific place havung a meeting and formulating
Our plans for the future.. we basically wrapped it up and "demand" we
Shall call him keeps it going so there was only one thing left to be said
Which was actually just said respectfully and truthfully and not in any way
Shape or form in a way with a negative connotation, but the facts remain
The same and that is "truth"...

After it was said and people left the room, the 2 others agreed and got on me
With demand about how that ain't our house and that shouldn't be said
Except for when it came to using this place it wasn't brought up the whole
Time we were in it to handle our business but all of a sudden its a "don't try
And ruin what we do" and Demand says "all ima say is that is common sense"
Like I'm some little kid and leave the room to his car and bounce.. no Peace
No Bye but he wants to have a business relationship and demand respect that
He doesn't give...

So I'm thinking, well, if that had nothing to do with business then let's take
The friendship part away and only have a business relationship cause if it
Isn't for the benefit of him he slacks off and that's a name I can't have upon
Myself or what we as a whole are trying to do. In this industry you will have to
Give more than you will be able to take to get any resect and pay your dues
You feel me?

Hopefully its cleared up today because I was on some forget that nigga
And everything going on since a childish attitude came about.. trust me,
I can expose a person in a second, especially them acting type ones who's
Thought process came from the wrong people telling them how the have to
Act in this game.. Comedy.. cause without anybody for sure 1 of the 4 has
My promise to be good for life and another has my promise to do what I said
I would do for him...

All I'm saying is, I refuse to be the only one exhausting my contacts since
Apparently I'm not the only one who knows and who is doing something...

mmmmhmm...

There is something beautiful about early mornings,
About waking up...
Something most take for granted,
That first breath of air knowing another day is here.

A dream, a deep sleep, a nap, a nightmare

But to be honest I barely sleep like most do though
I am prolly more rested than most of the world is..
I sleep maybe 4 to 6 hours and always feel refreshed
No matter what time I went to sleep..
I mean, I went to sleep after 1am and I'm up after 4am,
Eyes wide awake, stomach growlin for some food
Ready to start the day if I really could.

My mind is racing so, I guess this day has started off
Wonderful, thinking of ways to put my new music
Together.. if you went to my music page you will see that
Everything is being Re-Vamped cause I need to make
The music I love, which is what I feel with the hopes
Of having real fans and consumers that Love music..

Speaking of the love, look at the feeling music had
Back in the day, in the age of parents days..

GROOVING...

FEELING...

Something you could relate to on a bigger scale, I mean, there's
Always an artist.. any artist that will make a song and someone will
Relate to it but I'm talkin 50's, 60's, 70's...
Let's go back to the 40's..
We can even speed it up to the 21st century but I hope your music
Horizons are broadened and not subject to just RAP culture..

Like life, like living, I dare people to open up there minds
Open up there hearts cause in hard times people stick to
Only what they know, I dare people to try something new
Take in the morning for what it is... beautiful..
Eat something you never would have tried, take a walk outside
And look at Gods creations:

colors of the world
Obstacles and terrain
Dreams become reality.

Oh man and this sounds crazy cause most people don't think
About it but smile at EVERYONE, be courtious to the next man
And slow down, really live a little and I promise you
That stuff will be that much better if you put a couple seconds
First and know that life isn't just about you, but rather the people
You effect directly and indirectly..

BE THE BLESSING, DON'T JUST LOOK TO GET BLESSED

And more things will come your way..
If that was too religious for some, be the friend, or mentor
Or giver, or helper, or whatever it may be, just do

The Night...

As the nights fall..
I spent the day with Tesha and too bad
This blog is coming from my phone so
I can't post a picture but you can always
Check out my Myspace Page if you'd
Like... Went to The Block at Orange and met
With Me and Tesha's friends Roc, Jen, lil Jada
And Aundre and ate at Dave n' Busters..

Super chill, shopped for my mom and got her a
Some gifts from Bath and Body Works..

Man so I picked up this Lavender and Vanilla Spray
That you put onto your pillow to help you sleep
And let me tell you.. already this stuff is crazy..
Relaxing and smells good.. I reccommend that
Everyone goes out and buys one and uses it..

And by the way, have you ever wondered why some
Parents let there children go out in public looking crazy..
I'm talkin NON matching, make up wearing, at the mall
By themselves 12 year olds.. maybe younger/maybe older
But let's think about it.. why do people think so many
Kids grow and do crazy stuff?

I could only hope there relationships are tight with there kids...

Hours later:

Cheaters is on and the night is good.. beautiful eyes..
Church in the AM..

-Joon

Yesterday..

Had kinda a busy day..

Woke up, Handled my duties
as a Personal Assistant..
Firday, got Paid and sat for
2 Hours in LA Traffic to get
to Santa Ana's South Coast
Plaza for a Birthday dinner..

and That in its self was amazing.
me, im not racist but think about
the word "nigga/nigger" meaning simply
IGNORANT!

so I met one last night in the form
of an older white lady eating dinner
at the same place we were at and she
happened to be sitting in the back of me..

out of nowhere she starts banging on the
table making sexual sounds that went on
for a while and nobody did anything like
it didnt even matter, until Tesha had to
tell the lady to shut her mouth
since we did have some kids with us..

either way it wasnt appropriate.. and the
other people at her table really said
nothing and was just watching..
and the worst part of it was, when she was
done peolpe started clapping, i mean it was
funny but were they clapping outta respect
that she just did something crazy or was
it outta, she made a fool out of herself and
im afraid to tell her to shut up..

who knows who knows... but that was a Nigga/Nigger!

they come in all sizes, colours and races..
dont you love em' cause i do!!!

Studio Sessions...

YO Everybody...!!

so this day i was back at Pulse Studios
at around 2 for a Backstreet finish up session
with AJ..

Yess the Backstreet Boys are coming back out
minus one member i beleive but the songs
i have heard are dope!!

and i can say that without feeling gay, homo, faggoty
or whatever - else you lames wanna call it even if you
thought it for a second..
i have come to realize that those people who limit
themselves to only liking one thing in a particular
category or atleast not trying to know or understand
cant and wont ever be a lover of anything.

MEANING: to like one thing you must appreciate its
various components.. its okay to have your differences
but if people would seperate there ignorances from
reality then they would understand the art of a certain
something.

FOR INSTANCE: Country Music
wow, what more to say right but really,
they got some dope and entertaining songs...
not something i'd wake up and feel like playing but
i appreciate the time and stuff that goes into it
and lets face it, there fans are devoted!!
spend the money and the time on what they like..
but there CD's and dont download..

now come to the urban market...
why do people think there is so much bullsh*t playing on the
radio and being heard in peoples ears.. the fans are not devoted
they download, share, scalp and do anything but support
the artist they supposedl dig/love/enjoy...
thats not to say you can start just buyin up and they will change,
the common urban consumer has already started a bootlegging
era that would be hard to come down on
BUT..
for the next artist and up and coming artist like myself..
CORBIN (what up)
MISCHIEF (we doin it)
T.Gamino (love her)
Classic (OC Ups)
ROC (blazin on the Tracks)
and many others who make what they like
for the love of music
could have dope and honest fans if you know what i mean..
and even for you.. the aspiring artists...

Im on my Kanye... Id rather have 500,00 true fans worldwide
than 500,000,000 who just like hits and bootleggs my sh*t..
it would all be a blessing to make money so i can give but man
think about peoples mentalitys when it comes to stuff like that..

eiher way though, if i had them millions or those thousands i would be grateful
for them all, cause i hope they would atleast feel the music.. bump it cause they
love it and buy it cause it is good/great/classic...

and thats just how i feel...
and thats only the tip of the iceberg..

And So On..

So this would be the first one..

i am beginning this random

process of blogging and thoughts

and random tangents about

what i think and what

i tend to feel..

i live a crazy life, feel free

to follow me, believe in me

or most of all hate me if

you must but this is me and

what i like and what i feel..

love it or hate it, its not up to me

to change your mind its up to you

to re create yourself..

i am me, an artist, a lover, a God loving

person, a fighter, and a passionate dreamer..
