I am on a world tour, flowing dolo my man...in the ATL at present just chillin' with fam...word. I have been on the road for a few weeks now, with the job joint, but just checking out a few cities all the while-San Fran, the CHI and today, right now the A...or Hotlanta so to speak. It has been cooler than cool, you feel me. I have enjoyed the time away from homebase, the folk I have interacted with and the freedom it has offered. I am ready to head to the crib, but I have the night to enjoy. I have not posted a blog in a minute, but it seemed so appropriate right now. I mean, I am at my cuzin crib, on her laptop dropping my thoughts. That is sweet.
I have hung out with her and her husband for a few days now. They are artists, they live it and breathe it you dig. I know in time they will be more than successful in their craft, because they are dedicated to their passion. It drives them, gets them up in the morning and even feeds and clothes them. That is real. As much as I love the arts, it does nothing for me that is tangible today-at this very moment. It helps me maintain my sanity, but it does not feed me. That is a different level of dedication I have never known. Be it fear, or practicality or simply an amalgamation of both...it aint happened. I admire that about them, and they are fam. So I will always support their dream.
Now, ATL is hot. It is different from DC-not better or worse, just different. I would say a cooler more laid back vibe, which is peace for a brother at this stage of the game. Maybe we will get out tonight and feel the city...the next post may reveal the night...
