Leap Year ¦ @jixifox
Not around much only of special occassions,
What memories do we aim for every situation?
I want it bad, I want it now, I deserve the chance,
I want it everyday, I want to be special, I want it to last.

I am so excited to say I had a blast at my performance at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, New York City for Open Mic Monday on February 27, 2012. I had a game plan and went in and execute with a lot of fun. I had the green shades on tonight getting live (reason I wore them, because their spotlight be super bright, to blind someone on stage), I also perform the 1st single off my upcoming Hip-Hop Ep album “The Burna Effect” in which I decided to go with a photo I already had as the album cover.
I performed a little warm up freestyle called, “Get Up” in which is just a joint I use or going to tend pick up once in a while to fill my 5 minute time slot at Open Mics I will be attending. I almost forget, the song/freestyle will be on the album (silly me), and I also performed “Girls” which is the first single off the album in which this performance is the first time I performed an original song with a beat created and produced by myself, so I was extra proud of that fact.
Either way the performance went like clock work, even though minimal and simple, I felt I am warming up to stage performances. I can’t wait to get better. I did happen to have a prop malfunction which was quite funny to me, but it didn’t hinder what I was doing, so the show went on.
I insert a few comedic lines and storytelling in between songs, which worked pretty well. I think I am going to continue to test those out, as well as my witty stage introduction in which I try to get some laughs in quick by the audience, because overall I want everyone to have a good time.
Thanks, for taking the time to read my experience and I hope you come and see my perform one day soon. I should be doing many more shows at the Nuyorican and other places throughout the year. But you can always see and listen to my works via Soundcloud & ReverbNation and Vimeo & Youtube if you can’t make it to a show or in a different city or country.

If things aint on DECK, people aint seen it YET,
They are too far gone (Drake), they need to open up their eyes (WAKE),
They not eating right (NO FOOD upon THEIR DINNER PLATE),
They can’t even keep up (they SLOW, LATE).

Reblogged from richardo's daily creative lifestyle in nyc:
Cover of My Life
I live life with crazy action pack sequences synced into a body of multiple characters that work hard all day everyday, and still look at life with a positive outlook. I don’t need others to verify or validate what it is I do, the lack of sleep, how I prioritize my approach on life and/or…
I keep my eyes on the prize,
I work hard everyday to survive,
I try new things and live without fear,
Time after time I remind them I am still here.

When I turned twenty, I was under the impression that life was going to be a party for the next ten years. I was sorely mistaken. You see… I was warned about a couple things: my metabolism will decrease, I’ll get fatter, academic work will get harder, I’ll have to pay taxes; but there are a lot of things no one warned me about.
It is so good after the deed is done,
It’s a good deed, happiness all around, lots of fun,
The end can bring joy, tears and even a smirk,
It is always good at the end, worth wild, oh what a worth. (yum)
