Let me know what you think...
I think I may need to get out of Oakland for a while. I’m not sure where I could possible go because even with all of its tomfoolery, the city simply fits me. Well for the most part it fits me, but then there are moments like this one when it is JULY and the temperature is 50 degrees and overcast...Yes Guns, the clouds are back! But, besides that I realize my life has become just a bit too Oaklandish when my first reaction to hearing a song I like is to start shaking my head as though I had dreads and scrunching my face in the “thizz” fashion as my form of approval. I don’t even blink anymore when a bay area native driver decides to make a left turn from the right lane cutting across four lanes of traffic to do it against a red light. I get slightly miffed when I have to go to Berkeley for whatever reason and now automatically believe when I hear a popping sound that it must be fireworks, (which isn’t too outlandish considering the holiday that just passed) but I guess that theory could only work during the first week of July.
Whatever the case, my level of hood is about to exceed its limits and maybe I need to go to Atlanta or Houston for a while and calm down. But then, my creative side I believe would suffer. Oakland inspires me in so many ways and my little notebook that is starting to fill up with the new poems would probably not appreciate the change, so I don’t know. It’s just something I was thinking about.
But just a quick update for y’all. The writing career is taking off and I’m super excited. My first reviews came out in the June issue of Vapors magazine and I am hard at work listening to more albums and I have my first artist interview on Wednesday. I’m a bit nervous, but more so excited. My good friend Yancie has officially revamped my website and it is beautiful. So make sure you check out the changes www.beencee.com and let me know what you think! I’m also thinking about stopping with the email reminders, or at least doing thing every once in while, like with those blogs I really love. Let me know what you prefer. Anywho...it’s 7:39 in the morning and I’ve got a ton of fun work to do. So, let me know what you think about the new site and have a fabulous day!
Peace Y’all
