I suppose turning 50 deserves a post. This past year has been a crazy mix of the highest highs and deepest of lows. “It happens all at the same time” is something I think that should be taught in schools. And to embrace it all. I was telling a friend this morning that the 20’s felt like the middle school of adult life. The 30’s felt like high school with new confidence and if I was honest the 40’s well they in large part they sucked. The 20’s and 30’s teaches lessons from success. The 40’s teaches the lessons from defeat. I’m not sure what the 50’s hold but in some ways it feels like turning 30. I feel very young, I feel healthier in so many ways, I feel/think I’m better at what I do then I have ever been but I’ve lost something. I’ve lost my, how do I put this nicely for the church folk, I’ve lost my “give a damn” otherwise known as “gaf” It doesn’t mean that I don’t still care. I do. More deeply then ever. But I feel Ike what I create w this next album is more about connection then impressing and I hope that is in my life and relationship’s as well. Be dope at all ages because you are dope at all ages. I love you!
