So, I haven’t updated in a very long time. I have very good explanation for that! First of all, I no longer have internet so I have to make time to go somewhere with wifi to post. But during the time I haven’t posted, I’ve been very busy! First of all, I made it to 22 years old. Awesome, right? My family and I offically own a house now. Lastly, I am now blogging at www.themashup.net as well. PLEASE go check out the site, because I’ve been posting there much more often lately than here. I will give out a more vivid explaination in a video blog soon, but for now I’ll leave you with a flyer for our blog launch party in Sacramento this Sunday. Come out if you’re free and want to have some fun!

Hello, all. So I’ve decided I’ve missed blogging way too much. There’s so many things I want to say and write about, music I want you to hear and photos I want to share. Obviously, my day-to-day life is not always interesting but the thoughts in my head are too much for me to keep to myself haha.

I feel like I finally know what I want this site to be. I want this blog to be representative of me. I don’t wanna talk shit about crappy songs on the radio or which celebrity is fucking up the most. As entertaining as some of that shit is, it really isn’t important to me. I also considered many times changing the website name. Honestly, I feel like most people don’t understand what “Soul Explicit” is and I think it’s because people are sometimes too simple. Some can’t even SPELL explicit. My point is that I feel the name fits the site and my personality as well, therefore I am keeping it and you will LEARN what Soul Explicit is. I will be reconstructing the site, removing some material and changing a few things. Basically clearing out the unnecessary things. Also I plan on discussing important daily life experiences whether it be love, relationships and self-image. Really though, it doesn’t have to be that deep. I just want people to be open enough to hear my ideas but also realize everything I say is my opinion and no one has to believe or trust it. My mission in life is to become successful, appreciate everything I have and learn from the things I go through. I want everyone to feel me, even if you don’t agree with me.

I will be taking a break from the site and will hopefully return by the time summer is over.

Alright friends, I’m back. Obviously, I’ve been slacking on EVERYTHING. Haven’t been to the gym in over two weeks and everything I’ve been posting on the blog is music videos lately. First of all, I’m just tryna keep some of y’all aware of current music. Secondly, I’m just tryna live my life and enjoy my summer so I haven’t been wanting to post anything worth reading.  Although, I have decided I want to write more about the things in my life and my views on things.  Recently my niece Nancy turned 21st so I saw some friends & family on her birthday. I also got to chill with one of my best childhood friends Mary who was in town for summer vacation from school. I should be starting school in fall (no, for real-for real.) Things seems to be moving, not necesarily fast, but there will be some changes made. P.S. If you ever felt some people around you aren’t being supportive and are straight up hating, most likely IT’S TRUE. To all of y’all trying extra hard to come down on me, good luck! It’s gonna take a lot to bring me down biiiiiiitches!

These past few years I’ve learned many things about myself and my environment. The most important lesson I’ve learn so far is that sometimes we have no control over certain situtations and we just have to accept it. It sounds simple enough, but it can get deeper because this affects us in many ways. We often plan things to go a certain way or want to do things accordingly. Unfortunately, we can not control the weather or how other people act and accidents can and will happen. Shit happens! Many some of us strive for perfection and sometimes life surprises us with spontaneous adjustments and changes everything you had hoped for. You can be mad, yell, fight, talk shit–whatever. Or you can be optimistic and just deal with what life gave you. In this moment, I am so grateful to be alive and have support from family and friends who love me. Not everyone has that. Some families barely have food or shelter. This is what important, not materialistic shit. So now my mission is to have a  positive outlook on everything and try to spread the positive energy. I want us to teach each other to love ourselves again  because only until then can we love someone else. That’s where the acceptance and good attitude starts.

Weekly update will be here tomorrow.
