What up world? I've been neglecting all of you but life gets complicated sometimes. Especially when your trying to drop your third CD in under 6 months and on top of that guide two lazy artists with their own mixtapes. Things have been going sorta good though so I can't complain much. I got a new job and I start next week. It's a cushy telemarketing job, but I'm just hoping it lasts you know? I gotta buy a bunch of professional clothing.
Shows have been going well. Can't complain about that either. The economy's pretty bad, so pay shows are few and far in between right now, but I managed to get a West Palm venue. Hope that goes well. Umm, I still have my own place. Haven't lost that yet. Lol.
Oh yeah, so I got to the bottom of the Jo thing. She got pregnant yet again and that's what motivated her to pull that bullshit. But fuck it, I'm just going to forget about the whole thing. She's a lost case and not worth anyone's time. So that's that. Well I'm gonna go rot my brain to these VH1 dating shows. 1Love.

What up world? I'm back from a small time hiatus. Theres a lot to say with little time to do it, so I'm going to just jump right in. Christmas was alright. Kind of lame, but I did get a watch from my mom so that's something. Anyhow, I've been getting a lot of music recorded the past few days. Been getting in 8 hour days in the booth, and working at lame Old Navy as well. Speaking of O.N, my check comes in this week and I should be getting a lot of cash from working during the holidays. I think I'm going to buy myself a PS3. Kinda selfish, but I don't care.

So Jo texted me yesterday. She's claiming that she still cares about me and didn't mean to hurt me and overall bull shit like that, but I'd have to be a complete and utter idiot to believe that. So I don't believe it. And that's pretty much that. She's a real piece of work. But I'm not even sweating the whole thing anymore. Just moving on to bigger and better things.

New Years Eve is coming and I'd like to something fun. This is going to be the first new years with me living on my own so I guess I'll spend it with friends possibly. I wanna just post up at the house and have a few drinks with a few people. Nothing too crazy. I'm usually in a celebratory mood around these times, but this year is a little different. I've just been in a really mellow mood lately. Whatever. 1Love.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I passed the silly driving test.

What up world? So stressssssssed out right now! So I have to go to the DMV in less than an hour to take their gay little driving test because I've been driving illegally for far too long now. And my mom lost my social security paper so I have to wait for her to get her hands on them. On top of that, like the procrastinator that I am, I haven't picked my classes for next semester and it really sucks balls because I know all the nerds in school probably took all of the good ones. Bleh. To top all off, my computer has once again crashed and I had some important verses on there that could be gone for good. This isn't the first time it's happened so I usually salvage what I write in rhymebooks, but these were written a mere few days ago, so I had NO time to do that. UGH!

Hopefully, my pc dude can manage to work some sort of magic, but I'm coming to the realization that I need a brand NEW computer from scratch without any of the baggage that the one I have no carries with it. Bad enough I have a mixtape to do, with this many problems on my plate. Life can get so problematic. I'm gonna leave now. 1Love.

What up world? I haven't been back to work since I got from VA and I love it. I could care less about that dumb job and if I didn't need the money I'd quit. I'm scheduled to be working on Saturday but one of my musician friends wants me to record a song with him at a studio for his demo. He has a blues rock group, so it's going to be an interesting fusion of genres. I'm excited about it though because he's going to take the song to a couple execs once we finish it up this weekend.
Speaking of execs, one of my boy's Tyler is apparently becoming an A&R in January and he's dug my music for years now, so I think he'll have no problems shopping my stuff around to different labels. I don't wanna really deal with a major though because the music market is definitly not what it used to be like. I don't wanna be one of those artists who ends up owing their label tons and tons of money.
Anyway, I haven't written a song in days and it's frustrating me. It might be the trip to VA still bugging me, or it could be a little bit of burn out since I did two mixtapes in the matter of 4 months. I probably have recorded over 50 songs in that amount of time, which is crazy. I'm just trying to pace myself at this point, because I don't wanna get repetitive. I want to move towards some new things with this next record. I'm calling it 'The Ivan L Show' by the way. More on that at myspace.com/IvanLRhymes2Well.
Moving on, Jessica's moving down here in January for real this time. I think it's a good thing because I'll have a friend that I can actually trust worth a dime down here and that's nice. We've been friends off and on for 6 years and I think iy'll be cool to hang with her again like we used to. Hopefully that goes smoothly.
I missed a show last night because I had no idea what day it was. I was kind of dissapointed with myself but it's only one show so it isn't the end of the world. I wasn't really in the mood anyhow. But I have 2 shows next week, so I'm looking forward to that and I hope I don't forget this time. Well I'm out. 1Love.

What up world? I'm finally back in FL where I belong. It was a long ass weekend being stuck in VA and I'm glad to see familiar faces again. Still no word from Jo, not that I care anymore. It's funny how people choose reveal their true selves to you. Here I was thinking we were really good friends, and I must've meant little to nothing to her in the end. Bleh...
Moving on, I have a friend we'll call "Carey" from work and she's probably one of the wildest girls I've ever met but she makes me laugh. She's always telling me about her sexual conquests over men AND women, and I find it pretty funny. She's good people though. A little too wild for me to bang though, that's for sure.
Anyway, I have nothing in particular to do today, and I'm loving that. I told Renee that I would come over to her place and hang, but I'm just not in the mood today. I guess the whole VA thing situation is still irking the living daylights out of me. Besides, Renee has a tendancy to get on my nerves a bit, and I don't want to be bothered by her today of all days. So I'm staying home.
I'm probably going to work on music and record something here and there. That's the benifits of living in your studio. You just hop out of bed with an idea and act on it without losing the artistry somewhere in between all of that. Where as in the old days, I'd have to wait god knows when to record a song I wrote and by then I had lost some of the emotion from whatever song it was. Well I'm out. 1Love.
