...and that's why I won''t do more than one show a night, I just won't do it.
Ha. Random qoute from Beetlejuice; I have come to a stand still on the script writing thing. I just can't seem to focus on it the way I'd like, and I don't believe in forcing creativity. Don't want anything to be contrived. I am, however, plugging away at upping my skills in Flash. I mean, I really should be NICE at Flash, but, I'm just not. It reminds me of Director, which reminds me of this ass that masqueraded as one of my college professor's. This joker had 18- 21 students crammed in his hot ass office for almost the entire semester, and the week before finals, took us to the computer lab where he gave us a five minute demonstration of Director. Afterwhich, he demanded we provide him with a 5 minute multimedia presentation with video, sound, text, etc. for our final projetc. HE didn't even know how to use the application, but he wanted us to do that shit out of the blue... Every time I think of that I get heated. So, anyway, I'm getting past that and trying to get my feet wet in Flash. The freedom of design seems to be relatively straight forward, BUT, creating the navigational interface is where all the time seems to be. Whew! I din't know it'd be this involved. I now (better) understand why you just charge more for Flash. Clearly, there is more work involved in creating a Flash-based site. I'm doing alright right now, but, I want my motions to be more natural and less time consuming. Right now, the proces isn't like if I needed to do something in Photoshop or Illustrator. In those applications, I have direction and focus. I haven't gained that yet in Flash.
I haven't really written anything as far as poetry either, by the way. That...sucks. But, hey, whatever, right? I am at least on a good par to finish the writing for this EP project. I decided to ask 13 of Nazareth and Sir Reigns to bless a track for me, so I have to relly make sure I come with it on my verse. I ain't for that geting showed up on your own projeect mess. The role of Reggie Noble will be played by me on this track, and I mustn't let anybody else come off like Canibus. Okay, for those who remember the Lost Boyz track that Canibus debuted on, which also featured Redman, you might get what I meant by that. That's the only time that I can readily recall that Redman was outshined on a track. Now, I'm not on some ego stuff here, either...I want Sir and 13 to kill it...I just don't want folks looking at me like I'm the dead weight on the track. I can't have that. Not at all.
I think rhyme-wise, I'm very effective at the subtle word play, that if you run it back, you'll be like, "Damn...did he?" Yeah. I still have no aspirations of being an emcee, I just want to get some things off my chest regaring hip hop, the black community, and society in general. My goal is to record the entire EP in a weekend on some Zhane type stuff. That would be hot. Do some dry runs, and do a final run over the course of a weekend.
Okay, nothing really to write here, just clearing a bit of the cobwebs outta the way. Taking a mental break if ya will; Back to the grind!
