So this isn't gonna be a very long post (cuz it's super late and I"m super tired) BUT tonight was an amazing night. Well today was just an all around great day in NYC!
Couple of super fantastic things happened.
1. I was at an intimate kinda-like listening party for Tank tonight (who is breathlessly amazing. Like all around talented. Funny, handsome, clever, piano-playing-chocolateness) I was sooooo impressed.
2. KimberlyNichole was the MC, whom I love and see randomly all throughout the city. (It's so cool when I see people I know at events. It makes me feel good about myself)
3. I saw Keshawn at the same event. (refer to #2)
4. Then I went to BBKings for the first time ever with a huge group of friends...kinda randomly to see The Roots perform. (and they're simply amazing).
5. They brought out John Legend.
6. Estelle.
7. The Cast of Fela.
8. Patti Labelle (I almost peed myself)
9. It was free (I did have to stand in the cold for like 20 hours to get in tho-pure exaggeration but you get my drift)
10. I met the most fantastic director whom I have been twitter stalking for some time now-Matthew A. Cherry. And when I say stalking I mean legit stalking. Like know pretty much everything he tweets. I even facebook friended him cuz I love his work. And I don't know, I've just always felt like I was going to work with him at some point (call me crazy but a few months ago I even tweeted that to him)
IDK, I'm actually kind of proud of myself for speaking to him in the first place cuz I usually don't just randomly talk to people that I don't know/stalk and I did tonight so that was stepping outta my comfort zone a little (lot). I think the thing that inspires me most about him (and take this with a grain of salt cuz I don't even know this man) is that he's from Chicago and he's living the dream. He's making it happen for himself...and I've seen like all his projects...I probably scared him off telling him his life story tonight but...it just inspires me to chase my dreams just a little bit harder and a little bit faster...the same that he is.
So off my industry crush...I feel like my tv show is coming sooner than later...fingers crossed prayers prayed (it's gonna happen) meeting the right people, saying the right stuff, and being true to who I am so it has to happen SOON! I believe! More on that later tho.
That's all for now...all that musical talent tonight has left me speechless. I experience people living their dreams tonight and for that I'm forever grateful.
As the clock approaches 4 am...it's time to shut my eyes...my dreams will be there in the morning :)

First off I didn’t know you had a blog! I Randomly stopped by ours and saw see we had a new follower :).....
ReplyDeleteSecondly after reading this post tears started to form in my eyes because although we just met I truly admire your ambition to follow your dreams. Danielle and I sit and talk alll the time about that uneasy feeling of being on the verge of making your dream a reality, but just don’t know the exact path in which to get there.... As I sit here teary eyed at a job i took to "pay the bills" I think about how Im taking away from the sole reason I moved to NY--which is to pursue a dream. With that being said, I may be off track just a smidget but I’m never losing sight of the goal!
