All's Quiet on Campus..

The hustle and bustle of the week is over and many out of towners who decided to stay after the Inauguration have gone home. At last we Washintonians have our streets and sanity back. Though the shops in Georgetown loved the extra pedestrian traffic, we on the other hand , hated the bumper to bumper cars on M St.

The Day After......

Today is officially the first day on the job for our newly appointed President Barak Obama. I can't imagine the paperwork that must've flowed onto his desk this morning. The questions and decisions that he has been presented. I'm talking about the stuff even the media doesn't have access to. I'm wondering what's going on in his mind, his heart? Is he scared? Is his heart beating so hard it feels like it's gonna jump out of his chest? Has reality hit him as hard as it did most of us? Has who he is and what he means to this country sunk in? These questions I have because after all he is still a Man...

An Historical Time....

Living here in DC for most of my life i've seen many Inaugural Ceremonies. Some that have bought this country great success and some that have bought it nothing but heartache and poverty. But this years Inauguration seems to bring us hope of a different color. You see for me, the Swear In Ceremony means much more than what's instore for our ecomony. It means much more that just having a "Black" President. It means my son's can now say with pride "I can do and be anything as a man of color"! For them it shows how hard work and determination can surpass anything anyone has ever said could and would never be done. It shows that we as a people have more chances that not to live out our dreams, to be somebody ( taking those words from Dr. Martin Luther King himself). So you see for my family we celebrate for the possiblities of our future and that of our children's future. Who knows, maybe some day My Son will be President......It's possible.

Best Place to Be....

I've only been apart of the company (Don Ghotti/Felicitous Records, Inc.) for a short time, but in that time I've had the privilege of seeing how different aspects of the music industry works behind the scenes and in front of the camera. From Black Carpet events in Atlanta, Red Carpet in Beverly Hills, to being in the studio with major producers and watching their interviews. It is about the most exciting thing that I have ever experienced. And it gets better and better. Oh, busier too. But I'm up for the challenge. Especially with the new (The Adventures of Don Ghotti & Don Pitts Official Mixtape Vol. 1 coming available on Jan. 31, 2009), it's really going to be a crazy time!

Sometimes you make yourself crazy!!!!

Well, I'm almost finished getting everything together for both my trips to Altanta, LA and the Inaugural festivmyities here in DC. I must say with all of these things happening within a thirty day period my stress level went to the roof! I think I must have said "Wooossaa" about twenty times in one day. Lol! I guess sometimes we get a little (lot) crazy when it comes to making sure everything is done perfectly. Why? Because waiting until the last minute to anything of importance will have you pulling your hair out. And I just don't look good bald!!

I haven't blogged in two days with good reason. I've been busy as hell! I've got two major trips coming up, one to Altanta and the other LA. Not forgetting about the Inaugural festivities that are just around the corner. It seems there is never enough time to get everything done. At times it just get so frustrating I want to scream. Woooosaaa!

The mind is a crazy thing!

I start my day with the intentions of only a little browsing in Georgetown specifically the Betsy Johnson store on M St. But i venture a little further than that. As i turn the corner of M & Wisconsin Avenue something says look up and what do a i see, a Gold Dome at the very top of what use to be the Farmers Merchants bank! My heart started to flutter as my mind went into a tizzy. "Atlanta" i wanted to scream! All of the images that were stored in the back of my memory banks come front and center like the rapidly flowing river. "All this time" i said to myself. Realizing I've been in Georgetown a trillion times since my trip to the A' in December and I never once noticed it. I'm still trying to figure out what made me look up. Hmmm?
