JudahLYFE: The Album is Here



It's here so let me enjoy the moment. Freedom to Worship by D. Jakolby Washington & JudahLYFE is here. The first studio project that I was a part of is now available on iTunes for purchase. I'm going to enjoy this moment. I have to do a better job of not being so blazay about major accomplishments like this. I'm happy that our team has made it this far.

Let's see, working on this album has been a stretch. It's taken us close to a year from recording to re-recording, to group member changes, to switching responsibilities to a lot of things that keep you growing. I will say this, although being a part of a gospel group was not something I saw in my path, I firmly believe in where this ministry is going and what all of these sacrifices will lead to. God could not have put me around individuals that really truly care for me the way these guys do. I'm glad to be on this journey with these people.

Recording has been a stretch for me. I'm continuing to overcome issues with my voice. I'm also continuing to realize that my gift isn't about me. I've had to overcome a lot of mental barriers to push myself to get things done the right way in a short amount of time. I've had to work on my attitude--I'm still working on it--when things aren't done the way I'd like them to be. I've had to suck it up and take one for the team when I was leaving the studio at all hours of the night.

Big up to D. Jakolby Washington for his vision and sacrifice. Looking back this album captures the growth our team has been through from the live recording in 2010 to today! I believe in it. Only God knows the full picture so let's live it out JudahLYFE. I guess I was supposed to talk about the album! Oh well. Let's do that another day. Get your copy today! It's only $10 guys.

Fully Functioning Society

The course that I thought was so riveting is now becoming less of such. This is probably because the questions I ask people just give blank stares as if I'm speaking Chinese, African what have you. I think it is more of a self-confidence thing. I have a high need for feedback and when people don't say anything I start thinking something is wrong with me. Silence makes me nervous for some reason. If that last sentence was a lead to an article I would have gotten absolutely no coverage. So glad I can have a forum where my writing is not being judged. My question today is does PR add value to society? Should it seek to help make society fully functional? We can see now that the consequences of a corporate culture of greed and self interest is finally bearing bitter fruit for so many industries. So now the public is demanding that CSR be the very core of business. But beyond that should PR seek an orientation to make society fully functional? This was the argument in class tonight.

The Death of Nick Charles

This is my first post of 2013! This isn't really the post that I want to start the year off with so let's play catch up. For New Years I went to church, shot my first gun and drank champagne with my cousins. I was pretty excited to get back to work for the Spring semester. One reason being because each semester serves as a fresh start. Another reason being because I had a class that wouldn't start until February, so my load this time around is much lighter. I enrolled into an acting class. Our first assignment, and the reason for this post, is to pick a poem that could be delivered in a minimum of 2 minutes in length. I don't follow poetry too much so I chose the first long poem in Black Voices. It's called The Death of Nick Charles by Everett LeRoi Jones, who I later found out is Amiri Baraka. I heard of the author but never heard of the poem.  Not having a clue who Nick Charles was I did a search and found out that he was a sportscaster that died recently. This

This One's For The Ladies

To give some context to this statement I'll tell the story of Ruth and Boaz. Ruth's husband died and she decided to stay with her mother in law, Naomi. Naomi and Ruth are dirt poor and go through a lot of tragedy where they are. Instead of returning back to her family she decides to keep the customs of her mother in law. Naomi has a distant relative Boaz, who happens to be mad rich. Naomi tells Ruth to work in Boaz's field to make ends meet. Long story short Boaz takes a liking to Ruth and eventually they get married. Through all of the struggle Ruth went through she ends up with someone that is best for her. Now that you know this story you will understand this comment I saw on facebook: Hey Ladies, "Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz. While waiting on YOUR Boaz, don't settle for ANY of his relatives: Brokeaz, Poaz, Lyinaz, Cheatinaz, Dumbaz, Cheapaz, Lockedupaz Goodfornothinaz, Lazyaz or Marriedaz and especially his third cousin Beatinyoaz. Please, wait o
