The Music
The Life
Let's talk about music shall we?
I can probably expect the answer to this question to be: "Of course not! You fewl!", but I can't help but ask:
Does the older you get mean you lessen your Imagination? Do you develop a more MATURE imagination?
Whenever someone mentions the word Imagination, I immediately think a child with a vivid one, where, at the back of their mind, they believe they can fly in real life, or do a HADOUKEN, and will somehow find a way to do it the same way they can in their dreams.
I ask this, coz I took a trip down memory lane and remembered at one point, I wanted to go to Japan and live there for like 6 months, coz I thought it had EVERYTHING I wanted.
The best computer games, sick anime, good food, and endless martial arts movies. And a few buff tings shtill.
Now that I have other plans, I've found I only wanna go for a week, and takin my budget into consideration, I need DOE to be able to fund such an ordeal.
Even havin a road trip with my bredrins - I had my heart set on that for tyyyyyme - "After we graduate, we're either goin Japan, or on a Road Trip". I'm still on it, but ............. I wanna do music lol!
"Everyone's doin' their own thing now, innit?" is what I find myself, or some of my old college friends sayin. Fair enough. To get where we wanna go, we have to focus.
Focus means doing less things.
Doing less things, means thinking about less things .....
Less thought, means less Imagination ............. ?
How does that affect a person? Does that effect the creativity? I do find myself thinkin more about WHO is listening to my songs when I'm writin my lyrics nowadays. "ONE CANNOT BE SELFISH!"
More focus,
less Imagination?
"Of course not! You fewl!"

July 2009: I thought: "RIGHT! I've finished the EP. I've long finished the 2nd year of university. Time to do some gigs. .................... where the heck do I start?"
Luckily, I was previously introduced to Kadija Kamara - a British RnB and Soul Singer-Songwriter and Guitarist, with an affection for "The Graveyard Shift" (inside joke), who said she needed someone to do some backing for her.
Here's Kadija Kamara, the band and me at a rehersal for one of her gigs.
