RA: a contestant in 2009 Tribeca Film Festival
So last year around this time, my brother Richie B and I created a documentary and entered it in a national contest called "The Campus Movie Festival." We won 2nd place for best Drama last year BUT our film was re-entered this year! Our documentary will be screened from 11am-5pm this Saturday May 2nd in NYC, followed by a panel discussion.
It's sooooo ironic because I interned last year at Tribeca and now I'm competing! For those who aren't familiar with the Tribeca Film Festival, it was created by Robert Denero, along with his wife, with a goal to screen the top independent films of the year at each festival. It's always a star studded event so if ya can get tickets, you should definitely try to make it.

Mr. Hudson "There Will Be Tears"
I've literally been this song for a couple of months now. Learning to live with my regrets and not be bitter though.
His lyrics are a bit comedic, but there's a nice message in the song.
"There will be tears, Ive no doubt, there may be smiles but a few
and when the tears have run out, well be numb and blue
i cant be there with you but i can dream"

oooooo jesus! Lanvin Satin ankle-strap pumps
These shoes are also available in black. Something about the two tone look makes this the hotter pair. You want that double look. Black can be boring sometimes.
Blush satin pumps with bow embellished ankle strap with a heel that measures approximately 100mm / 4 inches. Lanvin pumps have Swarovski crystal embellishments on the cone-shaped metallic heel, a snap fastening ankle strap, a pointed toe and leather inside and sole.

Don't loose yourself..
I lost my lego heart at the Republic on Thursday:((.....I think it may have been a sign though lol. A series of events from Thursday to today made me question my love for what I do. Stress and frustration is no joke. I love music man, and I love it with all of me, but whole heartedly giving yourself to one thing is verrrrrrrry dangerous. Not risky, but dangerous. Because at the end of the day, no matter how talented you are, how honest you are, how beautiful you are, something WILL go wrong at some point. As artist we have to know how to channel those negative things and creatively put them to use. Recording artist are typically emotional people because we don't know how to handle "stress." So we write about it.Needless to say, I'm writing my butt off right now.
A lil advice I’d give to fellow artist is to be very careful with who you confide in, in this industry because everyone doesn’t have your best interest at heart. Some fam and friends will turn foe. Also, know how to accept advice from others without letting it influence or alter your decision making.
BUT regardless of how upset this industry makes me, I always turn to a song to get me over. So I give ya Melo-X feat. Jesse Boykins III live at Webster Hall
"as the world turns round/ my head hangs down/ as the moon turns day/ i can estimate the pain" JB3
