Note To Self

I took the day off from my 9-5 to administer some much needed self care. I've been swarmed up amidst of much emotional trauma and stress. See, sometimes we forget to live, just live out the way we know best and become un-bogged down by the perils of our lives or the moments that occur in our lives.

Today I spent a few hours running around the city (looking for an ugly sweater for Justin's party) with my "Brothers" my homies from the years we spent together on the 40".. I haven't seen Lightskinned Greg in a minute and as I was riding down 44th with Mase I decided to call son. I always call when I'm on his block but I don't always get to connect, but today I did.. 

Lunch time and Negro's were hungry so we shook out to the South Side off 16th and Buckeye to peep the latest eatery around (Welcome Chicken + Donuts) and caught up. Felt good.

PRESCRIPTION: exercise self care as often as needed. SIDE EFFECTS: laughter, warmth, tears & feel good vibes.

I'm honored and humbled to able to contribute to this event creatively and moving forward to push the culture.

"Three things I love: (1) Spoken Word Poetry at its finest (2) Live music with with scholars of the craft (3) Community gatherings. With that being said all three will be happening on Oct 17th with the Kickoff of the Spoken World Series featuring Mayda Del Valle presented at the Mesa Arts Center. I don't have to express to you how important this is to me and the community I aim to serve. Lets make this happen, lets make this big time." Tomas Stanton #SpokenWorld
