need an artist?

listen, i rap my fuckin ass off at any given moment without warning.
i need to record my thoughts. if there's anybody out there looking for a versatile artist to work with; holla at me. i'm down to write any kind of song and i'm open minded as far as different ideas are concerned. i don't have a whole lot to show of my talents but hopefully, in a short amount of time that can change if the right connections are made.

P.S: i just wanna make good music.

a few random things to say....

#1 - the iPhone is probably the illest piece of technology i have ever owned.

#2 - this summer session at my school is finally over this week. shit has been so stressful this summer from job hunting, to making & breaking & mending & realizing different relationships with different people, to financial woes, to jail, to bail, to my temporary position with the family business, to the professional job hunt, to rebuilding myself and finally growing up.

#34 - my legal issues are still not over. court date thursday. pray for me.

#864 - i can't wait for a fresh clean start academically this fall. i had so much stress on my head i feel way out of touch with things and i was broken mentally & emotionally for a long while. that obviously affected my studies and spilled into every other avenue of my life. i just need to take a break from everything, a small vacation to breathe and come back.

#8 - i feel like my creativity is being geared to music way harder than it has ever lately. i'm making some good connections and guys ..... i honestly feel like i just might be the next big thing. watch me please. i know its a long time coming but i'm telling you stay tuned.

#13 - i want that new macbook. you know the black one. that shit is tough.

#5,685 - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is fucking sick!!!! xbox 360 a gwan MAD!!! everyting boom bang CONNECT!!!!

#23 - the artful image concept is currently closed to the public still. building a company from the ground up is not easy & it is time consuming. its gonna happen asap tho. i'm a multitasker so all my ideas & aspirations will be realized simultaneously. 

#9 - i told you this was random.....






this kid is pretty cool.









yeah thats all i got to say right now. stay up & wait for my next move.

radio songs.

look @ the date. (go on look @ it) today almost every single song that came on any station had lil wayne on it. thats was the single most annoying thing i could have ever heard. now i'm not taking anything away from wayne. he nice as f**k. however, scroll thru my playlist, you'll find that he isn't the only talent in the industry.

i feel like there are soooooo many great EMCEES (not rappers) that just go under everyone's radar. i mean they get credit, but not as much as they really deserve.

support your local underdog.
if you know of an artist, big name or local emcee, who should get more shine that what he/she is receiving, drop the name on my comment wall over to the right. and let's start paying respects where respects are due and stop rerunning the same shit as if hip-hop is really dying.

-C!
P.S: i may fuck this quote up, but my favorite book the alchemist most definately states something like, "when you posess great power within you, and tell people about it; you are seldom believed" so instead of telling yall i am an emcee, just wait and imma show yall how i transform.....

How ya doing? Where ya been? Whachu up to?

....well i guess i've been on what some in hollywood would call a hiatus. i guess i've been laying quite low lately. not necessarily ducking anyone or anything, simply put; summer just isn't my season. so to all who wish to know whats been the happenings as of late with me, how i've been, where i've been, and what i've been up to....i shall inform you.
i've been fine. i be in the hood. i've been busy getting famous..
details coming soon.........

Artful C!'s Nintendo Appreciation Blog

some may call me a geek, nerd, dork etc....
i've been labeled my whole life, and this company may very well take the blame for it all. i honestly wouldn't have it any other way. from but a young young boy @ age 4 or 5 i remember sitting in front of a big ass tv planing for hours on end, my classic NES (nintendo entertainment system). nothing made me happier. period. now that i am older and i have a little brother i see him growing in the same fashion, on the same tv, however his first brush with nintendo was the gamecube.

everyone knows by now that video games can help sculpt a childhood. think about it. they keep you inside & out of trouble, they excercise your hand/eye coordination, they test your patience (especially games like mega man 3 & the legend of zelda: a link to the past), and a whole laundry list of skills that nintendo has helped me personally acquire over the years can be named but i don't feel like it. i wanna take this moment to show my thanks and pay homage to a company that i'm sure all my wii sports players out there are well familiar with.








NINTENDO WE LOVE YOU! shouts out to Super Mario, Luigi, BOWSER & Samus Aran (Metroid)*
-C!

oh & P.S: now that i'm a grown man with ideas of my own i've got some great ones for the future of this company as far as character development & new game ideas & prospects. anyone who knows any higher ups might wanna contact me. like....ASAP.

nothing else to do ....

the title pretty much spells out the meaning of this post.
a meaning less blog by a meaningful host.

cuz i'm home alone & i ran out of shit to do.
i guess you can read my other blogs if you want to...

no pretty pictures, no images, just words & sense.

my last blog post was may 26, 2007.
i lost interest in blogging on may 26, 2007..... wait, wait thats a bit harsh.
let's start from the ending.....

i'm a simple person. doesn't take much to please me or occupy my time. never did, never really will. in all my simplicity i have a slight, complex. i'm not afraid to try anything and i am MORE than open minded however, anything that requires more than my minimal efforts not only bores me, but infuriates me. why can't everything be as simple as i? an artistic fellow indeed i am, all you gotta do is put a pencil to a paper & BOOM! art....... an athletic lad at times, all you gotta do is catch the ball & run it & BOOM! score...... so why can't everything be that easy?

i've become known amongst many as an artist. i would more than love to incorporate art into every medium possible. so i got my lil space here on blogspot.com & my intentions on it were to indeed do just that; incorporate artistic worths from my photography, graphic images, words, & songs or whatever else i've been inspired to make, then display it all here for you to see. but i've run into so much difficulty in conveying my messages that i stopped trying. my last blog post was may 26, 2007. i lost interest in blogging on may 26, 2007.

i find it difficult to try to penetrate layers upon layers of frauds to bring forth whats real within me. the fight has been faught by many before me, won & lost by equal amounts. am i the spartan writer of 300 words who'll convince you all of my truths? or the persian scholastic bully who berates the masses with further perversions & falsehoods? who's to say? and will i find satisfaction in either of the two evils? i don't even know.

so how's this for a comfortable inbetween.... i'll cook up your food for thought, if you think its poison don't eat, if you think its cake, indulge yourself, and i'll take my satisfaction in knowing i gave you all an option. simple as that. i'm a simple person. doesn't take much to please me or occupy my time. never did, never really will.
