Big Time, Kinda

I just filmed an interview of a rapper for the quasi-famous Youtube channel: VladTV. We prepared hard but still a few mistakes were made. I left a camera on while we were setting up the shot. And when it was time to actually shot the talent. The battery was dead. Man, I was pissed. But we did get one good camera with audio, so for that I’m happy. Hotboii is an up and coming rapper from Orlando. Who knows? He might blow up. 

Family Update

The next few months look good. Gio is moving to North Beach, where we both lived at one time. He says I can stay with him so I’m thinking about a week. Then visit family in Texas, Arizona, and California. My younger brother Travis has a new son so I really want to visit my new nephew. His name is Owen Louis Haynes. We have the same middle names. I’m honored, but maybe the middle name is a knod to our father Paul Louis Labbé, we have the same name. 

New Beginnings

Me and Gio are moving out of our apartment in Design Place. I’m having to throw out a lot of stuff ‘cause I’m hitting the road soon. It must be mentioned that throwing out this stuff, I’m throwing out memories, the past, and dreams never fulfilled. It’s depressing and liberating. I’m being born again, like I’ve been born many times. A new place to live. Travel. Rolling Stone. Will it ever stop? 

Sugar Man

I’ve discovered the music of Sixto Rodriguez. It speaks to me. His biography is incredible. He was unknown in the United States mainstream and then become hugely poplular in South Africa. But he didn’t know about that and lived a life like a hermit in Detroit where he’s from.
