over the last couple weeks...

i was out.

doing what i love to do.

went to florida, for...close to a week...in hollywood/ft. lauderdale to be exact. did you know there are 2 HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINOs in florida? did ya know NATIVES own the m-fuckas?? well...they do. The seminole tribe of florida holdin it down...i like to collect magnets wherever i go...do you think i found ONE magnet ANYWHERE i went in this freakin place??!!

not one. *shaking head*

what'd i do there? i MC'd an event the seminole tribe of florida puts on for tourists. it was cool...i got a chance to stretch my vocals a bit, which i haven't done in a very long time. sang the nat'l anthem (en anglais) to open up their main event each day. hung out in the casino, experienced the night life...worked...got paid...it was great.

from florida i flew out to good ol' vegas and i was there a week. i felt ASHAMED on a couple occasions...i mean...i was there to WORK (MCing, handling media/PR, sang the national anthem on one occasion) but that was during the day (12-hour dayz might i add)...i found myself at the end of each day TIRED!

man.

i found myself at 9.30 pm each day SOOoo tired...wanted to crawl up to my posh room and fall asleep. no harm in wanting that right??...well...SURE if i was in KENTUCKY or somewhere boring...BUT....here i am....IN MY TWENTIES...IN LAS VEGAS...IT'S NOT EVEN 10 PM....AND I WANT TO CRAWL UP TO MY ROOM AND PASS OUT??

that's just straight EMBARASSING yo.

but you know...i'm a G. a soldier. :-p yea, i MADE my ass stay up and out all night. i wasn't going out like no punk.

haha.

so yea...i cut my vegas trip short and flew home on friday one way....i was feeling a tad bit homesick. just before i left to florida i FINALLY moved into my new home! with my new roommates. it's the shizzle yo...well, except for the REALLY SHITTY management company we have to deal with...but that's another BLOG for another day when i'm not soo fired up about all that.

all in all...the travels were good. free-lancing my self out is the shizzle. my peepizzles.

peace be, i am that FREELANCIN FOOL...g
