LOST BUT NOW AM FOUND

SO... it's been awhile since I've last written something that may have seemed incredible to some, spiffy to many, and a waste of time for the majority but nonetheless here I am...

so ending my day by facebooking (which is ironic cuz I start my day that way too haha) I have found one of my friends Tati had started writing a blog. So while reading her first entry "BLAHG..." it for some reason, having nothing to do with food, made me hungry! I felt the need to let her know that she triggered my hunger as a response to her "BLAHG". In doing so, I realized that I was not signed in to my blog. So the page loaded to a signing in page and once signed in was then taken to my home page. Completely confused, I rambled thru my page trying to look for something that would take me back to Tati's page to comment. While getting frustrated, I was soon relieved of my stress when I found the "VIEW PROFILE" icon and clicked on it and then continued forward commenting on her page. I then realized that there was a "MY FOLLOWERS" section on my homepage as well, where, none other than my friend Tati's icon was sitting at the top waiting to be pressed after a long a search. So, even tho I commented on her page already I pressed her name from my homepage just so I had the satisfaction of knowing that I was lost but now am found and that there was a FASTER way to get there...

Fellow citizens of the "WWW" I tell you that there is always a FASTER way to get there. And what do I mean when I say "GET THERE?" Simple, it's pretty plain and straight forward and right in front of your face as was the "MY FOLLOWERS" section that I just happened to miss.

You see, we as human beings, tend to make things difficult for ourselves. When all the while the answers are right in front of our faces. And once we see the solution we shout, "WHY DIDN'T I SEE THAT THE FIRST TIME?" Famous line you'll hear yourself say over and over and over!

This blog is not meant to be some elaborate article that explains every which way to turn, why? because it's simple. WE NEED TO OPEN OUR EYES, BE AWARE OF THE THINGS THAT SURROUND US, AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE THINGS THAT WILL HELP US GROW! Yes, we will make the wrong turn, BUT, God loves us so much that he continues to give us a right choice to choose from no matter what situation we are in. we could be in the middle of what may seem like hell and yet God will still continue to give us the option to do right! and once we figure that out and choose that route we will be led to a higher state of life and realize that there was a "FASTER WAY" to "GET THERE."

So friends, GET THERE, FAST, cuz we ain't getting any younger, and neither is the world. Help others GET THERE, FAST... Help ME GET THERE, FAST, cuz I know I need it HAHAHAHAAA. Because let's face it, we don't want to be lost, we want to be found, why? because it's more comforting...

And now, after seeing the word fast so many times in this blog, I have found myself short of breath and need to rest now, after a nice cold cut sandwich.. HAHAHA..

EVERYDAY IS A HOLIDAY....

So I've decided that everyday is holiday. There's always something new to see, feel, taste, smell, hear... New challenges, new accomplishments and new..... (you come up with the last one. hahaha) and if there aren't any of these in your holiday, MAYBE you should change your perspective.. hahaa..

anyways, some new things have come about and pretty excited. First, I have done my first solo show April 30, 2011. My family from UT was able to be in attendance, and it was just another witness to me of how much my family loves and supports me in all that I do. Post-concert I was asked to do a few other shows which one of them I have not yet responded. But will be doing one this Saturday.

I have been doing back up singing for quite some time now and have been able to sing for a few different artists. All in which I am glad I was able to be a part of. I've mentioned a few of the artists in blogs prior but one most recent is a young 13 yr old named Dinah Jane. She is a refreshing sound from a young generation. A sign that that art of music lives on and improves with each generation born. She's young yet still so humble about the talents which have been given to her and glad she's able to portray such humility in such a chaotic field. Good luck in all her endeavors!

For some personal news, I have a girlfriend now a days, and must say at first I didn't know how or what to feel about the situation (Due to the fact that I've been single for a few years hahahaa). It's not an unfamiliar situation for some but for me it's completely foreign. It's a long distant relationship with a girl from my home town, Dawn Taufui, (She'll prolly be skeptical about me putting her name like that HAHAHAA... Oh well I like that lashings haha) but it's been good so far. Definitely interesting because we're so far apart and still find interest in each other. Which I'm not mad, its just an interesting phenomena.

Our story is pretty interesting. We've known each other for over a year now and the dating scene between us has been approached on several occasions but I have ignored the idea of even having some to be serious with because I'm stubborn and dramatic. HAHA!! and so now that we are together it's almost like we've been together for a while because of the trials we've gone thru already prior to our relationship. But I'm excited to see her next month when I go to visit back home.

Well yall, it's time to get back to another part of my life and practice practice practice (One of these days my rehearsals will turn into paid rehearsals hahaa) Until then, enjoy your life and love everyone in it, and when you do I promise you you will see why everyday is a holiday.

LIFE... or something like it...

My life in these past few weeks have been crazy!!!! CRAZY in a GOOD way. I have had plenty of rehearsals, gigs, work and school... I'm so tired I don't want to sleep!

These past couple of months I've just done back up vocals for different artists. Just an update...

April 1, 2011 I had went back to my hometown and performed at the groovin 801 performing with Angelline (Afo). Band members included, Sii Moimoi, Donnie Wolfgramm, Tony Uesi, and Gordon Moimoi. A show with seasoned musicians is bound to only have a good show! And a good show it was. From every drum beat to every pulled string on the guitar it was a good time. Hopefully, we'll be able to meet up once again and do what we love... MUSIC!

In the month of March I was able to sing for Artists like Marina Tiafau and Nicole (Nive) Noga. These two girls, as young as they are have exceptional voices. It was both of their first time performing as a soloist and did a fine job. Only to become better the more they keep pushing themselves.

One last artist, Erica Yandall. Erica is actually one of my really good friends from school (Musicians Institute) We started school together last Spring. A very humble, but driven girl. She was able to coordinate great harmonies for us back up vocals as well as well command the stage. She's AWESOME!

Being a singer you come across a lot of different opportunities. I've sung in churches, casinos, clubs, bars, I've sang for homeless, weddings, NFL players, BYU Players, etc but probably one of the highlights of performing these past few months would have to be opening for DJ quik/Suga Free... these two artists brought back a lot of memories from when I was younger. As they performed I felt like I was back in my oldest brothers ghetto blue beat up car bumpin and rappin. every word that came out of DJ Quik's mouth. It was a good time. I wasn't able to chill with them but was able to get a picture with Suga Free. There's just something different about performing on the same stage as people that you've listened to your whole life. and I enjoyed every minute. Thank you Erica Yandall for the experience.

I've also had the opportunity to meet other poly artists JBoog, Alo Key, Spawnbreezie, Teki (not really fair cuz I grew up with the dude but hey... yall can pretend that it was the first time meeting him HAHA), and others, each very unique in style but sing for the same reason.. The LOVE for music.

I have nothing but high hopes for the future and know that this is something that I want to keep pursuing. I love my life. And music just adds more love to it!!!! MMM MMM GOOD!!!

First day

Well... Apparently, I have a been a member of this bloggy thing-a-ma-jig since 2008... it obviously was just one of those days where I was wasting time at the computer like I always do and decided to just sign up cuz everyone was doing it. That's kind of my problem as you get to know me.. I seem original when all I do is bite off of everyone's ideas, lifestyle, blah blah you get the jist. Now when it comes to style. That's completely original.. cuz I don't have any!! I ramble on about ow bummy people look and then you take a glance at what I'm wearing and then you see how my hurr is did and wah-lah... it's pretty amazing how I conjure some things up!!!

Now if that wasn't random and confusing for you, then maybe you seek some kind of psychological help cuz that was just all over the place and a complete mess..

Now, down to some real business! ME! cuz I'm all business no play!! I am the youngest of 5 children and love to be entertained by the everyday living of peoples lives. People are interesting to me. We never seem to get it right, and when we think we do, God smacks us in the head and and tells us to try again. And that is the most humorous thing about life, to see us all think that we got it all figured out only to be moded in and for a short period of time. That's how merciful God is..... he doesn't just watch us sit in our misery he helps us find our way out of it....you know???

I have now idea why I started an interest in taking this blogspot thing up. Maybe, because so many of my friends have it and so since I'm on of those 'well everyones doing it' kind of guy it just so happened that I started. Not only that, I've told numerous of friends that I'd be doing this.. and about years later here I am... Thank you friends for sticking in my head!!! HAHA

Well, all good things must come to an end, but good thing about life is after we sleep we wake up.. so thus, the party will start again!!! Loves to you!!
