Okay so I know I said I was gonna write a weekly blog about my new material and the process of recording it all tha stuff tha goes into it and blah blah blah, but I'm finishing up my move and all of my equipment is packed up so I wont be doing any recording for at least another week, just writing. I cant really write about what I'm writing because that would spoil hearing it for you so allow me to ramble just a bit about some other things thass going on with tha kid.
It's 5 days into the New Year and Sanaa Lathan hasn't accepted my friend request yet. I am trying to be patient though, so let's wait and see what happens.
I am looking forward to the playoffs this weekend and hoping my Dallas Cowboys don't choke against Seattle. With my luck though, the Seahawks will win.
Its no fun being a Celtic / Laker fan right now, but at least I'm not a Knick fan, they REALLY suck.
I am thinking about going to see "Dreamgirls" again because I haven't seen a movie that good since "Kill Bill Vol. 1" and Jennifer Hudson's performance was amazing.
Speaking of movies, I had the pleasure of attending a special movie screening last night. Tha name of the movie was called "Death Of A B-Boy" and my man John O was one of the stars of the film. I had a small cameo appearance (No Pun Intended). It was the second time I've ever seen myself on a motion picture screen and I must say that It was an interesting experience. It was cool though, to sit in a movie theater and see my face on tha screen, (even if it was only for like 30 seconds).
I've never thought of myself as an "Actor" although I'm kinda used to seeing myself on TV. I am a co producer on a television show thass been on the air for several years now and although I prefer to play the background, I do appear on camera from time to time. Anyway, about the movie. To be honest, I found it kinda inspiring in tha sense that if other people can do it, then maybe so can I.
I'm not talking about acting, but about shooting a small independent movie.
One of my frustrations with my TV show is that I have been wanting to shoot a small movie for YEARS but my co-writers (mainly Kevin Keith) keep acting like they don't hear me when I say that. Now, I don't really know how to write a script but I know that Mike Myers wrote "Austin Powers" in a weekend so it cant be that difficult. I just don't wanna write something tha sucks. I don't think tha world needs another corny hood movie that ends up on tha shelf next to "Booty Call" in Blockbuster. I just wanna make something that cats can enjoy for a minute.
I asked a friend of mine who is more familiar with how to write a script. She said "Keep it visual and write what you know" I figure if I can write a visual album, I can write a visual script. I have been mulling this idea over in my head and I think its time to move on it. I've got big plans for 07 so we will see how it plays out though. I'll keep you all posted
Next post will be about the album. I promise.
