What are the chances…..
What are the chances .. that on my way to my 1pm meeting wtih someone who could possibly change my whole life and everything I do.. I get in a cab only to see my own damn sticker starring at me .. dead in the face… I didn’t have my camera since i broke it .. so my extra hype ass busted the camera phone out!!! I didn’t do it [ put the sticker up].. but I have given em to some folks out here.. so needless to say… I WAS HYPE!
Anyways…. the first of the year was mad hard on me.. I really lost hope for a quick second there.. only to pick myself back up and give myself the ultimate pep talk… I had to re-focus, re-group, and re-evaluate alot of things and relationships in my life… and move forward on my self-motivation crusade… Living in the city, taught me that nothing is as lax as it is in the A.. this city is built on the grind and hustle… and if im working all damn day long.. I need to take my ass out at night and network and meet and politic with folks… just to get accustomed to it…. and thats what I have been doing.. working by day… on all things.. with Mariel, for Proton, with Ian Ford, with private events… with potential events.. with counseling young bucks..and everything in between that has managed to fit in the cracks… only to find myself coming home to change and go out for the night and meet as many folks as possible.. but have some over due fun at the same time..
I always thought of myself as a worldly person.. I mean shit, I lived overseas in multiple countries and have been well traveled.. but living in this city is a different beast… My eyes are wide open and I feel like im seeing the world for the first time again…. Im being exposed to certain things I thought I already knew about.. and forgeting past events that have had me settled in my ways and in my own comfort zone…
So to this I say.. I welcome the challenges.. I welcome the cold.. the long walks home.. the expensive ass cab rides.. the I never get to cook at home, the I dont talk to my family as much as I should , and look forward to the rewards of my hardwork and my feet aching and fingers frozen.. till summer comes.. Im still loving the city…

Livin’ just enough for the city. Looks like your work ethic is on point. It’ll pay off in more ways than one.
