There's a story behind every record that you buy, and I thought about telling stories about some of the records I have. I thought it was silly... but maybe not. I might try it? For the 5th anniversary of this tweet, I'm reviving this. So let's start over...

The last time my mother and I spoke was a year ago today, the sound of her voice told me that I wouldn't have her much longer. A nurse asked me to leave the room to ask her some “personal questions”, I told my mother I would call her later… and she never picked up the phone.

I’ve spent the whole day thinking of what to say after a conflict transpired today, thinking about how I didn’t get my emotions involved yet kept my cool the whole time but also hoping to see if the other party realized that they took out their frustration on the wrong person.

Why do things feel more appreciated after a conflict? I’m not sure where it implies that I like being challenged, but nobody asks for a tidal wave in calm waters, only to be told they’ve gone too far once the water has leveled off. How do we not repeat patterns?

It’s weird to me when ladies come to me for love advice, it’s strange when men do it too but ladies in particular. After what I’ve been through & for how long I’ve been riding solo I clarify with them if they’re sure about seeking my input, and ladies always say they trust me. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Today is my father’s birthday, it’ll be 16 years without him in 2 weeks. I honor him by being the version of him that could surpass him, I still try to be the person people can come to for advice or for a quick laugh. Miss him yo…

How did we revive a dying franchise only to lose its voice?

Something was revealed today regarding an artist that I liked, the sad & very disappointing part about this that I was there when they got signed & I was there when they got released. It’s very upsetting to learn, I’ve seen artists rise & fall but this one took the hardest fall.

One gift I’m thankful to give others is the ability to be themselves, while also letting me see them grow (and glow) as individuals. Being trusted to help others evolve is pretty dope but an honor too; if you’re going to be infectious, you better be impressionable.

It’s frustrating being the fall guy when you’re the only one trying to keep a shop afloat; I refuse to drown or abandon ship like everybody else has because it’s so easy to sink, but I refuse because of who I am. I don’t give up that easily like everyone else, I simply just can’t

You know what… I enjoyed this movie in a weird way. I was more fond of the first part of the as opposed to the rest, I think I’m saying this because I appreciated the bond they had until it was tested.

I recently had a dream where someone I had a falling out with woke me up in my sleep finding out my new life while later that day in reality I was told I had to train someone that I also had a falling out with to do something properly at my job. That was a weird day.

Me and a coworker were talking about a particular place which he didn’t know that I liked, he showed up an hour later with this bag because the conversation made him crave it. That made my day, shout out to them for doing that.

I recently thought about some of the friendships that fell apart, and how could I have saved them if it was possible. One case in particular was damaging because they had a very hot/cold energy, I tried to tolerate it as much as I could until I had to throw in the towel, tiring.

This doesn’t fully complete my collection from this band, it does fill a big void 17 years after its release. I underestimated how rare this was back then, that’s why I jumped on it when they announced the repress. It’s been a while since I had nighttime music, great addition.

A good friend and someone I had a falling out with had a conversation, when the friend mentioned that they were tight with me she told the other person: “He’s loyal, just don’t cross him” and the other person made a face knowing that the bridge they burned is irreplaceable.

When a coworker was recently terminated from my job, I was disappointed and relieved at the same time. Although they were down to earth at times, they were unreliable like dead weight. I don’t wish them the best of luck (hear me out first), but I wish they would grow up.

When someone reached out to meet up, I knew right away they wouldn't pull through at the end because they're extremely forgetful. On the same day we were supposed to meet up, where were they? Posting videos from a football game =

30 years later... but "Life Goes On".
