another day.... another weekend.... lost in the shuffle....

Today is October 24th, Friday. It's 9:30am and I am awake... running on about 3 hours of sleep in a classroom full of 3rd graders... lol... needless to say, I'm pooped! I just got back from New York earlier this week. My experience there was WONDERFUL (as it always has been when I'm dealing with Chris and Shani from Warner Chappell. They always take great care of us!) We worked with J Lo. Very sweet person she is... and her twins are SO FREAKING HAPPY and cute. I guess I'd be freaking happy, too, if I were that rich! lol We are going to California next week to continue working with Jennifer. She cut 3 of our songs and has 2 more to cut in California... all in which she is keeping. I spoke with Mark Pitts yesterday (Ciara's A&R) about the status of the record we did on "Fantasy Ride". He said that they are keeping it but, he does not know if it is still contending for the single. In his words "We are pulling back and re-grouping and dropping the project next year. Hey, you never know what can happen" So, in other words, "I'm On" just may not make it to being a single... Its okay though. Shani (from Warner Chappell) has some AMAZING things lined up for us in the upcoming weeks. Chris Brown, Mary J and Keyshia Cole... IM EXCITED.... I must admit thought, I am QUITE dissapointed we missed out on Beyonce's project... Next time BEY! lol

ok ok ok enough about the industry crud (said i wasnt gonna write about that in this blog). On a personal note, I'm looking forward to this weekend. SAW V is out today and, of course, I am DRAGGING Otis to the movies to see it (eventhough he really isnt into horror flicks). I'm excited to see how long Megan Goode is gonna stay alive... I watched her in "One Missed Call"... She died in the VERY FIRST SCENE.... it sucks how these movie directors cast black "hotties" in their scream flicks to draw a more divese audience and then kill them off in the opening credits!! At least give 'em a FEW lines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.....

Anyway. On an even MORE personal note. There are a few things happening around me that are unfortunate. I can't really openly discuss them but, I will say this; its making me sad. Sometimes I really don't understand why negative things happen to people who I think don't deserve it... Especially when its someone I love so very much. *sigh* it sucks.... I'm tryin not to let these things effect my life personally but its becoming more and more difficult everyday. Pray for me guys.... "The darkest hour is just before day..."
