Day 7...

Day 7 is to the Ex.

While it's easy to place blame for how my life is currently shaped, I won't. Because you're no longer apart of it...

However, I will say that the aftermath of 9 years has not been pleasant. I mean, damn! I've been alone, involved, happy, sad; and through all these stages in life, I've managed to blame myself completely. Clearly there were two people involved and clearly, both of those people had issues that we couldn't overlook.

As selfish as it may sound, I no longer care about you. That's my way of dealing. The disadvantage(s) of that mentality has adversely affected current relationships. By relationships, I mean intimate and otherwise. Relationships dealing with my family, friends and the significant other.

But I'm still not mad with you. I still can't wrap my logic around what others think should be the definition of blame. We're adults, and we must deal with life and the way it has come to be. I refuse to use our past as a crutch because all that matters is today and tomorrow.

I wish you the best in yours, Sincerely.

Happy New Year...

After finally getting settled in, I figured out what my solid resolution will continuously be. Over the past couple of years, I have seen my own growth and have also attempted to prove it to others. No more. If the change is real, it will show.

I took a much need walk today. After being sick for almost two weeks, the sun on my face and the cold air hitting my skin was much needed. My 'sick days' definitely did not help with inspiration or work...

Which leads me to my resolution: to look in the mirror. Yea, easier said than done for me. Simply put- to attack myself with motivation before I can even imagine inspiring others. Sometimes, we need to put the fire under our own asses before we take the torch outside.

Let 2011 begin!

Day 6...

You may know me.
I don't know you yet.

But I feel we've met long ago.
No past life flow. No silly reincarnated stories of anguish.
See, you're a stranger to me and, no stranger words have been said- you are who I see.

In my thoughts
In my dreams
In my mirror
You succeed to make yourself known.
To look right thru me.

And as much as I try to deny who you are
My eyes are your eyes
We share the same soul.

I haven't tapped into the beauty that is you. I know.
So day after day,I make it a goal.
To get up, and get into who you are.
Our gaze intertwined.
No longer feeling forced.
No longer deemed lazy, or running, or weak...

I laugh and I cry and I smile.
And I stare.
Hypnotized because you are a reflection of who I can be!
Who I am becoming...

I stare. In awe.
Knowing that people go thru their entire lives not seeing their stranger.
I know I'm blessed.
Refuse to second guess.
Sometimes question, why I let me become the stranger.

And when I no longer see you as the stranger pieces of me is the day we finally meet.

You Love Me...

I bore easily.

But when it comes to you,
there is something not-so-new,
that takes over me.
I can't explain
the unthinkable strain you have over me.
Never do I ever want you to let go of me.

Your words, they flow deep and it is thru me
That I will express all the love you have given me,
You see my Music, it comforts me
In ways that I never knew it could for me.

And before I discovered it,
it discovered me.
Now,
As I sit with this impromptu blog,
aka, my lyrically melody,
Under the dark blue sky,
the streetlights blinding me.
I let my fingers walk across the keyboard gently...
My mind, infinitely in your grasp and
this is how you've continuously treated me!

So as I write thee,
I'm taking out the time
to appreciate you loving me.
I know my music loves me.
Because there is no place in this world
that you would not take me!

And all you've ever asked was for me to be me.
And thru you I can be complete.

From A Distance...

...and as I watch the stars
from afar I wonder...

Will it be me?
Should I even question
the distance of it's reality?

Will I be placed among them
instead of looking up at their amazing grace and,
in that space,
that empty space
is my place in the sky.

Prepared, polished and ready
when I feel the fear is gone and
its my time.

The days pass,
the work flows and,
from a distance I truly know that
the empty space that I see
is reserved for me.

Interview...

A few weeks ago, I was interviewed by the lovely Tunisia Engram for her segment called, Lyrically Speaking' for a new locally-based show called 'In The Midst'. The show airs on Comcast channel 66 and Verizon channel 29 every Wednesday at 1pm.

It was a great experience and I'm so appreciative that she even thought of me!

Catch me at the 12:44 mark:)

Networking...

I went to homecoming this past weekend. I worked my butt off! I spoke to all my friends and fellow musicians that went to Clark Atlanta University. Gained a few brilliant connections and validated the value of networking- even if you think you know people already, you don't know what they've done. You don't really know what a person has been up to unless you speak with them and see them in action!

It pays to talk. With substance and confidence.
It also pays to keep in touch. I will do just that!

Look Away!...

Nah, I'm just playing.

But not really.

As the fall gets going, I'm becoming busier. I am SO loving it! I had my very first interview as B.Fly and, it went so well that, I get to perform at a launch party. *insert happy dance*

I call this post "look away" for a few reasons:

The less I worry about the things I can't control, the less stress I'm under.
The less stress I'm under, the more creative I am.
The more creative I am, the more music I create.

Its an endless masterpiece- this cyclical motion of life. What we choose to gaze at shapes us. Its what we ultimately learn from and sometimes, we have to un-learn the things that cause the drama.

So, will you look away with me?

4th Quarter...

Earlier today, I was on twitter (@bflybelton) and I tweeted:

"4th quarter. Are you tying up loose ends or, are you just getting started??"

Well, what's your answer?

Are you still talking about the same goals you wanted to reach back in January, February, March...?

Or,

Are you acting on those words? Have you completed the goal?

Personally, my goals have become more concrete and realistic with time. This comes from a great deal of work, sweat, tears...and swift kicks in the ego. (yall know who you are. cant thank you enough!)

It also comes from watching others. The ones that push pride to the side. The ones that burn bridges. I've seen it all, simply because I found my patience to watch and learn...

The 4th Quarter is 30 days away. Have you done, reached, accomplished? Are you close? Or are you still talking?

I'm confident that my 4th Quarter is abundant. I have no fear. Let's get it!!

Fun Facts...

Fun Facts I've learned along the way. Mostly in 2009-2010 because now, I have more time to focus on life around me.

1- Helping people help themselves is a win.

2- Don't be so consumed with the future. Keep your feet firmly on the ground you're walking now.

3- No one. I mean NOBODY, is a mind reader. Always ask questions and retain answers.

4- The thing that I cannot ever control is you.

5- Same goes for me.

6- Speak your profession into existence. And make sure it's the one you're destined to do.
*For example, I am B.Fly. The Singer, Writer, World-renowned Artist.
*No one can tell me different.

7- It's okay to doubt, just don't doubt yourself into failure.

8- For goodness sake, you're human. Stop trying to be perfect!

9- The only way you can please everyone else is by pleasing yourself FIRST and ONLY.

10- Having a big heart and not getting taken advantage of IS possible. It's okay to love and respect one another.

Yall can thank me later ;)

What Is Love...

What does love feel like?

Is it silk, satin or, cashmere with lace trim?

Wool, rayon, pleather or, crushed velvet? In triple-digit weather...lol

Is it a polyester spandex blend, that hugs you tight in all the right places, all while making you sweat with frustration because, its not a gentle embrace?

There are many analogies I can use.

I know. I mean, deep down in my gut and in my heart, that love is simple!! It's one of the easiest things we have on the planet yet, we make it SO hard. Damn. Why??

When I see people holding hands down the street, I smile. Because I know that possibly 5 minutes before they stepped out, that may have had a petty disagreement. But love, true love, knows how to communicate. Often without saying a single word.

Love is your favorite fabric, drink, food, person, happy-place. No one man or woman should be deprived.
