Wow!!...is it Monday already???.......how are you all doing?.......I know some of you may not have noticed…..but your boy been gone for a few days…….and as you read this morning….or today…..or you may not know……there was a reason behind it…..maybe even a bigger reason than even I can see right now……but it does get frustrating…..something in my life I am not doing right……and before I play the blame game towards anyone else, I have to look at that man in the mirror and see what I can do to be as incredible as I say I am……and I will…as a matter of fact…I am…..but I cant stop because the answers haven’t been revealed……I have to look deeper…….
Well today was the first day of my new schedule at work…..now I come in at 9……..its kind of cool because I can sleep in…but then when people leave at four, im jealous……I want to go home too…..guess its not my cake and I cant eat it right now……while I was away on “vacation”, they switched our accounts up…..I went from having the majority of my accounts in Georgia and Florida to now having the majority of my accounts in California…..and they are 3 hours behind us…no reason for me to come into work and be unproductive……….
This job is wearing me down though…..of course, its not hard…..my co-workers are pretty cool for the most part…….and I provide pretty good results…..but my drive is diminishing……..when I first started this job, I figured it was just that….a job……..I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Essential Entertainment would be off and running by now and I would have my own office where I could work when I wanted to and make my own schedule…..2 years later, that has not happened……..once again, I have to do some soul searching and realize it is something I have done that has caused my escalation to flatline……no, I am not out the game yet…but it’s close to the 4th quarter……..and I don’t want any buzzer beaters………I have realized that this next month of my life is very important…….its my make it or break it season………
I have got away from my morals and standards…..I have let too many people dictate my emotions…….maybe it was my fear of being “Countrytime” or “Hustle Man”…….those were two heartless characters in my past…….sometimes I think I hold a hint of fear in my heart…..am I ready for that next level?.........have I been allowing pleasure to come before business?........a lot of you know how hard I work…and at the same time, I find myself having to focus on things that don’t matter….and people that don’t matter as well….because if they were of any importance to me, they would understand that being 30 with a dream is a tough task……..my shelf life is dwindling……
Today, as I was leaving the bank, I decided to do something I didn’t think I would consider right now…..I went into a school and asked if they were hiring…….some of you may know, I used to teach high school English……I stopped teaching to pursue my music……I knew it would be hard…especially with taking a pay cut and all…….though I assumed that by the time I returned to the teaching realm, it would be under different circumstances…….so you may be asking why don’t I return…I have holidays and summers off………true, but when there is teaching to be done, I cant take a mental break…….the generation that is in these school systems need more than a paper pusher teaching them…..and yes I have a passion for it…….what happens when I am out too long performing….or when I am offered a show out of town in the middle of the work week?.........its a lot harder to take off time when you have so many dedicated to your cause……..and you don’t want a substitute to come in and destroy all you have worked for……..decision, decisions………
Oops!!....looks like somebody got a box today!!!......tsks, tsks…………….
Before I jump into my usual tangent, people…….DONT GET YOUR BUTT ARRESTED!!........its not fun…there is nothing enjoyable about the judicial system no matter how much we watch Tru TV, CSI, or any like show for that matter…….handle your business……and even after that, follow up…..my ignorance allowed for a situation not needed…….im truly disgusted with myself for even getting this deep in mud……..
But while I was there, I made some choices…….and you will soon see them…….and if you are not part of these choices, ask yourself: how much of my life did you really have a part of……some people are so unnecessary in our path towards greatness……..and yet, we allow them to hang around for fear of being lonely…..yes, it is true……..we hoard our emotions for human fear….God will never leave us nor forsake us and we must remember this even when it comes to personal relationships we have built………
Well I am about to work my last hour and then get the heck up out of here………
So without further ado……….Rika’s Quote of the Day………………………..
“Don’t judge people by their relatives”
Aint that the truth…..and don’t judge a man by his relationship with his momma…….that’s my personal quote…you get the picture………
How is this for irony though…..I went to jail on my mother’s birthday…….ROTFLMAO!!!!..........................
A special shout out goes to everyone that helped me get out my funky situation…….it was through your hard work and diligence that I was able to get out of those confines…….you didn’t have to……you could have worried more about yourself than me…..and those are the people I need to have around me……..the ones that I don’t have to question if they care……I will admit, I was scared……scared of losing my job, my house, my car, and a lot of my future…..you all, made sure that my sanity stayed in tact…nothing I can do can repay the care you had for me……thank you and God bless all of you…………
Love yall!!!!

THE RESURRECTION (GUILTY TIL PROVEN INNOCENT)
4:00 pm March 30th: Spaceship Ohayses leaves work…….he plans on going to holla at a producer and finish a couple of songs he has been working on……but first, he goes home to prepare for dinner……on tonight’s menu is spaghetti…………
4:30 pm: Spaceship begins to cook…….he is in a good mood………he is going to pick up a dining room table later and he hasn’t cooked in a while……..the week is been going good so far…..work has been work but he is focused on busting his butt and making sure he bonuses for the month……..
5:00pm: calls up a friend and asked them if they want some food…..they agree and Spaceship finishes up his meal……he also has some CDs to sell…….by this time, he receives a phone call….the owner of the dining room table is not home yet…….he still decides to travel that way, of course with the knowledge that he will be dropping some food off…………….
6:15pm: Spaceship turns the food off and drives to Carrollton to drop off some dinner……he realizes he will be crunched for time trying to get the table so he decides to pick it up in the morning……..he goes home to eat, get dressed and prepare to go to the studio for some recording…………..
7:30pm: Spaceship calls the producer and he is informed he is still at the barber shop……..Spaceship tells the producer he is in route and they both agree to call a third party, who is also supposed to be on a track with Spaceship……………..
8:00pm: Spaceship stops at the liquor store….for some reason, he doesn’t feel motivated by only Heinekens…….he decides to pick up two shots of vodka…..nothing big…..while in the liquor store he is making jokes with one of the cashiers…..they inform him they are the sister of Big E…….a well known producer in the Metroplex area………they converse and she asked to hear some of his music……..they go outside and he plays her “ I am Ohayses” and “87”………she instantly gets on the phone to tell her brother of this artist……………..
8:15pm: Spaceship receives a call from K-Notch, Big E’s manager……..over the next thirty minutes, they talk about their mutual vision and some business opportunities……….a positive conversation that enables Spaceship to increase his networks and gives him the chance to prove to a producer with more clout than he has typically dealt with that he has what it takes to make it in the music industry………as they complete the call, Spaceship pulls up to a hotel in Addison……he backs his truck in and finishes his phone call………………
8:32pm: Spaceship calls the producer to see where he is…….he tells him he is at the Shell station up the street and he shall return shortly…………..
8:33pm: Addison police drive by Spaceship’s truck….their eyes lock…………………..
8:33pm: Spaceship decides to get out of his vehicle and go into the hotel……the look on the police officer’s face was not welcoming……………..
8:34pm: the police officer makes a U-Turn……..he drives up to Spaceship and asked what he is doing……..Spaceship tells him he is going into the hotel and asked what he is being stopped for……..the officer tells him he looks suspicious……..the officer asked for ID……Spaceship gives him his license……….
8:40pm: a second police car pulls up………………
8:45pm: the police officer tells Spaceship he has a warrant out of Hunt County for a motion to revoke probation…….as much as Spaceship protested this announcement, he is told he would have to take it up with the judge in that county……….he is arrested and placed inside a police unit………..
8:47pm: the police open the car door and goes in Spaceship’s pocket….he tells him, his vehicle is going to get impounded and that they have to check the vehicle now………they find contraband……..
9:00pm: Spaceship Ohayses is booked at Addison police station……………..
To finish the story, while I am getting booked, I am told that I also have traffic tickets in Lewisville……..I am told that I will be transferred until everything is taken care of…..the problem for me??....... I DIDN’T HAVE A DAMN WARRANT IN HUNT COUNTY…………but it’s hard to prove your innocence behind bars……….I am sent to Lew Sterrett………I had some very understanding people fighting for me on the outside………eventually, they got in touch with my lawyer in Hunt County that confirmed I should not have had that to pull up on my record…….he says he is going to get the judge to sign something for my release…………..
The traffic tickets were paid Thursday morning………by 5 o’clock, I was ready for my release…….bond was posted and the letter had been sent……..QUESTION: why the hell are they still using tele-type????........that is so the 50s………I guess a reason for them to be slow…….I was sent to population Thursday morning and by 4, they had came to let me go……..but while I was waiting in the release tank, I was told that my tickets weren’t paid………except for the one in Addison…….but it was a package deal…….how could I bond for one and not the rest??.......sounds foolish to me…………then I was told they did not receive the paperwork from Hunt County…………what the heck is going on?????............
So Stephanie finally comes down to see what the issue is…of course, being in a holding cell, they weren’t trying to listen to me…….and I could tell I was aggravating them by continually asking for answers…….and they couldn’t give me any…….and I was frustrating them by knowing this……….come to find out, the papers had been sent to them 3 times!!!!....someone, somewhere failed to look for it…………their response?............ “oh”…………seriously……………
Okay so let me get this straight……..I went to jail……..got a possession charge………and I had to pay on three tickets….stayed in jail for a warrant I did not have……..which was the reason I went to jail………had to get my truck out the impound………..for having a county charge….which I didn’t have……..but since it said I did, I got my car searched……missed days of work…that my boss wouldn’t let me make up……….can’t pay rent…….because I had to pay to get out of jail……….just because I was a black man parked in a hotel parking lot…………….
…..and I am supposed to expect someone to believe me??................
HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!!!!!....................

A DAY LATE, A DOLLAR SHORT
Hello to all!!!......ahhh!!!...I had a wonderful weekend!!!....I hope you all did as well…….how are you feeling today?...yeah I know its Monday, but it is beautiful outside!!!.....one of those “I wish I wasn’t at work” days….and by the looks of it up here, a few people thought the same thing…..that’s on them!!......I’m trying to bonus…..plus I’m still trying to get my PTO back from granny’s funeral…yeah I know…its been a while huh……..going on 5 months in April………so you ready for me to tell you what I did this weekend??
I WATCHED WRESTLEMANIA!!!.......and it was pretty darn good if I may say so myself……..the worse part about wrestlemania was Jayla wanting to play animals……I tried…..I really did…but I have been waiting on this day all year you know…..I caught myself smiling when it came on…….and then to top it off, I grilled steaks….made smothered potatoes and corn on the cob…even made some kool-aid…hadn’t done that in a while……..and of course….Heinekens……the Shawn Michaels/ Undertaker match was everything plus more………even the championship matches were good….I’m happy I spent my day at the crib…didn’t go too many places....washed some clothes, hit the grocery store and chilled at the crib…….
As I mentioned, I grilled steaks…why is it that when a bar b que grill is blazing, we tyro t find whatever we can to cook on that heat??.......I ended up making hamburgers, hot links, and turkey sausage along with the steaks……..is it really a subconscious thing about waste not, want not?........but at least I had lunch ready made for me…and dinner tonight……tomorrow, I will probably make spaghetti……..
The show Saturday was pretty awesome as well……I want to thank everyone that came out to support your boy…and also to all the groups that performed……something very ironic happened on Saturday that had me really thinking about how my music career has come full circle here in Dallas……I remember a show I performed at a few years ago and in the middle of my performance, my music shut off……..I didn’t know what to do…..I was stuck….embarrassed…..and angry….I felt it was done on purpose because I wasn’t from here…..they don’t like my kind of music and they just was hating…this was my opinion……well Saturday, in the middle of “I Am Ohayses”……(available on iTunes and Amazon)…….the music cuts off again……..this time….Spaceship is ready….I keep rocking with no music…..and the response by the end of the song was incredible……sort of like me!!!.....there was no fear…no trepidation……no anger….I knew that I had to complete my show……that’s my mind frame right now….NO EXCUSES!!.........yeah, the music messed up….so what??......my words are the same….my emotions are the same…and the power behind the music is the same…….yes Rhonda…I see the growth…….
So many people are asking for CDs……if you are serious about getting one……I’m sorry………IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING A SPACESHIP OHAYSES “NO PRESERVATIVES” CD, PLEASE FO TO AMAZON, ITUNES, RHAPSODY…….AND NOW IT IS AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY AT www.reverbnation.com/spaceshipohayses this is a must have album…… I mean seriously…you say you support me….you say you like the music…so why don’t you have it again??......NO EXCUSES!!!!.............
Still looking for comedians…….about to get a big show together and I need some comedians to help make this next venture a reality……..too many bridges to build and not enough time……..don’t be selfish with who you know….this may be there chance to get to where they want to be………..
Well I am actually about to cut this short…….so without further ado……..Rika’s Quote of the Day……………..
“When people can walk away from you, let them. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.”
Sometimes people can walk away from there destiny……because they think “it’s the right thing to do”…..or….“If they love me they will come back”….seriously??........our attention spans are like 2 seconds long……bye!!!!........
Special shout outs to my best friend Tesah Michelle……you are now officially in the dirty thirty club…I got you AARP membership waiting on you……HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!...I love you so…..wow……can’t believe I have known you for like 20 years…and you are still the same size!!!!........head bigger though……..
Well I am about to go drop some kids of at the pool before I leave here………..

I crashed out about 6….woke up around 11 and I had some missed calls from Stephanie……now I figured she would be sleep but I try to return her calls….you never know if anything is wrong with Jayla…….so I call her….she tells me someone is mad at me…….it was Jayla……on Wednesday when I called, Jayla was excited to tell me she had cleaned her room……she wanted me to come see it but of course, I was at work until 9……so I told her I would come over yesterday…..totally forgot!!!......so now today, I have to make sure I go see my pooka…….and guess what?.......bet her room will be dirty by now………
Sooooo……today is March 26th………2010…….last year…..on March 26th, 2009, I decided to start writing a “blog”………I really didn’t know what I could honestly write about on a consistent basis…….I don’t even know what I would write about probably……I also didn’t know if people would begin top get irritated by receiving a text from me….who would read it everyday?.....could I keep up?.......and how long would it last until I run out of thoughts……as I have continued to develop this blog, I have learned some new things about computers….I have been able to look within myself and search my soul…….you guys have walked with me through the car washes, the rendezvous with PB Ent, the release of “No Preservatives”, the passing of my grandmother, the black history program, and my birthday……..you have helped me raise money to go to Miami, school supplies for kids, and put together an awesome program for the community……I guess what I am trying to say is…..THANK YOU…..
You guys have been my rock…..behind the jokes and the laughter, the observations and the shows, is a young man in search of himself…….there have been times that I have doubted myself…….yes, I have wanted to quit this journey……stop writing the blogs, and disappear……..I have had my relationships tested….whether they have been physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual……..I peaked…and hit major lows…..a lot of things you guys may not know….but once I started to write…..once I began to jot down my ideas, the pain would evaporate…….
At just the right time, the right people would respond or comment and it would brighten my day…..I have had people hate me because of assuming….I have had people email/text me wanting clarification….that means I have their attention…..I have learn tact…..I am learning to have fun again…….I have tried my best to be an open book with you all…within limits……and to show you just how human an entertainer can be…….
This is just the beginning…..I’m hoping that within this next year, this blog grows bigger…..I am focused on doing a video blog…..as I have told you all time and again, I will soon only have this blog on my BlogSpot account……some of you will care…..some will be relieved from seeing my name pop up in your inbox……if you have not done it yet, go ahead and become a follower: www.spaceshipohayses.blogspot.com ……….
I am not going to write long today….today’s blog wasn’t really about writing…..but I guess I did anyway huh….its about giving thanks and being appreciative to those that continue to make this a success……I know how it feels to be a customer and not feel recognized…..I wish I could thank you all individually, but it would honestly take too long…….so here………kisses to women, pounds to the fellas……….
THIS SATURDAY, MARCH 27TH, SPACESHIP OHAYSES WILL BE LIVE IN CONCERT…….SEASONED VETERANS SERIES AT THE LIQUID LOUNGE……DORRS OPEN AT 8………COME ON DOWN TO DEEP ELLUM…..IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN SPACESHIP OHAYSES LIVE IN CONCERT, YOU ARE MISSING A TREAT!!!.........THE LIQUID LOUNGE IS LOCATED AT 2800 MAIN STREET ….DRINK SPECIALS ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!...........
You are my shout out today…..no quote….no particular entity….but you….once again thank you………..
Before I go though….I do have to give my wrestlemania predictions…Wrestlemania 26 is this weekend and yes, I will be watching it……..probably throw some steaks on the grill…grab me some Heinekens……and chill out the whole day long!!!!!..........

SLEEP SHOULD'VE BROUGHT YOU HOME LAST NIGHT!!!!!
To those I did not text about the cancellation of Rolls Royce last night……..please accept my apology…….I found out around the same time you all did…..that rain came out of nowhere!!!........also, I don’t know how to use my phone yet…….I was at work and trying to send out individual text messages to over 1600 people is harder than you would think……I promise, next week, its on!!!........how are you all doing today…….I am tired….very…but its worth it……..I was up until 6 this morning…….tell you about that later……..still at work……of course…….don’t know what time I am getting off……and today was one of those frustrating days………but it is Thursday!!!..........
Last night, I decided to create a power point for Essential Entertainment………consisting of its goals, visions, and the mission of the company……some of you may be like what’s the big deal…..I haven’t done a power point since 2004………seriously………and even then, I think that was only my first or second one……but last night while working, I became completely infatuated with the program…….next thing I know, I look at the clock and its 5:50…….now I knew I should not have went to sleep……..but I tried to get a powernap……..yeah yall know what happened……and my boss was not a happy camper…hell, I wasn’t a happy camper…but I was excited about my presentation…..im still looking at it…..Essential Entertainment is on its way to new horizons…..greater levels…and bigger results………….
***I NEED COMEDIANS!!!.......IF YOU KNOW OF ANY COMEDIANS, PLEASE GET AT ME!!!.......I DON’T CARE WHAT STATE YOU ARE IN….WHAT COLOR THEY ARE……OR HOW MUCH THEY CHARGE….SO YOU SHOULDN’T BE EITHER!!!!.........LET ME WORRY ABOUT THAT…..GET ME SOME TALENT!!!!!***
I have posted this request on a few of my social networking and the first question I receive, is will I be performing at this comedy event….two things stood out…first, who said I was having a comedy show……and two……do you really think I am funny enough to keep a crowd entertained??......I tried that before…..I am good at spontaneous jokes……I am not that guy that can think of a routine……simply because of my fear that I may forget it……and its not about me being on stage all the time……sometimes, I just want to go somewhere and enjoy the atmosphere…….
Everything that glitters aint gold……..I love facebook…..it is truly an awesome thing that I am able to stay in contact with people I have met over my life…….being from Michigan…..going to school in Mississippi…………and now living in Dallas, I have had a hard time trying to keep up with those I consider friends……they have been many sites that have given us that opportunity but facebook is about as close as you will get to meeting all your social needs……..you even can put your real name in it………seems like it was sent from heaven……….
But so was the devil………
As much as I love facebook, it is the devil…….I was talking to one of my homegirls last night and she was telling me about how she is kicking it with this dude….my first piece of advice?....DO NOT ADD HIM AS A FRIEND!!!!..........she asked why…….Facebook allows drama to come to people….its amazing how sensitive we get by reading things that are on here……..we get upset if someone likes something on our people page…we continue to make encrypted statements knowing that the person we want to read it will……….people put things on pages for the sake of starting mess…and what do our negative minds think?.....that somehow, these remarks come from somewhere……I put a remark on there about someone not being pregnant and I was happy about it……does that mean that I thought someone I screwed was preggo?...........not for me, but for others, indeed, since I put it on my page……now I know that people have the right to think what they want…but if you bring it to me, I am going to give you an answer you may not like…….we need to watch ourselves….so much in our life is much ado about nothing……..
Lets focus on what people say directly to us…not what are surroundings are trying to give the impression of……..including myself……if I cant use a platform such as MySpace, twitter, or facebook to vent and recruits new fans…what’s the purpose……..we don’t criticize movies because someone got killed……..do we?...............
THIS SATURDAY, MARCH 27TH, SPACESHIP OHAYSES WILL BE LIVE IN CONCERT…….SEASONED VETERANS SERIES AT THE LIQUID LOUNGE……DORRS OPEN AT 8………COME ON DOWN TO DEEP ELLUM…..IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN SPACESHIP OHAYSES LIVE IN CONCERT, YOU ARE MISSING A TREAT!!!.........THE LIQUID LOUNGE IS LOCATED AT 2800 MAIN STREET ….DRINK SPECIALS ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!...........
Okay…I’m about to stop for the day…..I gotta get this money….almost didn’t blog……been on some work type ish all day….since I got here…..but she’s back……….Rika’s Quote of the Day…………….
“Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have, or sleep all you want.”
Learn values….learn rations………learn how to judge……..we don’t have to maximize everything in our life….sometimes, a little is just enough……….
Well I am out of here…..shout outs to my girl Necole….been meaning to call you…..aint heard from you in a while……also, to the Eckles family……from husband to wife and all your beautiful kids…..DIE!!!!!!....(don’t worry yall, it’s an inside joke!)…………

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP WHINO
Yall should hear this rain!!!!......well, if you are in Dallas then you hear it….im at work and it feels like something off 2012……..knew I shouldn’t have watched that movie……how are you all doing today?........I’m doing pretty good today….thought I was going to come into work early……but I didn’t…….I have a very good reason though…..so I am still here…dreading these last few hours….hoping that by the time I get ready to leave, this rain would have ceased………
So last night, I start on my new song…..yeah, shipper has a new classic about to drop…the title right now is tentative…….don’t even want to say what it is because I am not that excited about it…….I have to truly listen to the chorus to get a good feel of what the song title will be…….told someone in the studio last night that writing music is a drug to me…….once I start, its hard to stop……realized that I haven’t been in a studio since before No Preservatives was released….that’s crazy!!!!......once I start hearing beats, so many thoughts and ideas come to my head……..so now I have to find a place to put them all down……shhhh!!!!...another album on the horizon????............
So I was watching Extreme Makeover: Broke Folks Edition the other night…….if you don’t know the concept of the show, they find people that are in critical need of new living arrangements and totally help them have their dream house……..or at least a complete upgrade…….the key is…getting them away from their current house long enough to build this new facility…….now as excited as these people are, they must have patience in allowing this TV show to do its job………these people know that they are in for a surprise but what good would it be if they tried to live in that new house before all the repairs and designing is complete………..
And this, my people is our lives…….more to the point, our businesses, our destiny, our tribulations……..sometimes, we see that end result……..we want so very badly to live in that big beautiful house of success and live as comfortable as possible……but its not possible if the house isn’t complete………what happens if you walk into that home and notice you are missing steps to go upstairs??.......now what is the point of having an upstairs……..lets say there is no windows………..walls haven’t been painted……….back yard full of nature………
See, I understand……Essential Entertainment is a part of me…..and I want so very badly to enjoy the fruits of my labor…..the thing I fail to realize at times is that my labor is not done………there are still things I need to pick up….things I need to add to my repo ire…things I need to throw away….and things I need to try……..as I continue to build this enterprise, I cant get impatient…….I can not allow myself to let the anticipation of my finished home ruin the process of building it…..it takes many people to build a home….and it takes just as many, in ratio, to build the foundations of our lives…..no, everyone we meet may not be for our benefit……and sometimes, we have to do things that seem like detours…….but even in a car…..not trying to use too many analogies, you have to remove an engine to get to the alternator……..get my drift?........
Lets all continue to love the building process of our souls as much as we wish for that completion…..its coming….and even then, we will still see places where repairs and upgrades may be needed……..they say patience is a virtue…..well so is a happy home……..
I know you haven’t received a text from me this week….that’s because this Smartphone is stupid….nah, but I don’t know how to send out mass texts yet…….I still need to sit down and attempt to read this book…..even I have to learn how to display patience…… but any who……….
TONIGHT!!!.....TONIGHT!!!!! TONIGHT!!!!!!.......DJ LADY JA-ROQ’S OPEN MIC SHOWCASE HAS MOVED TO WEDNESDAYS!!!.......COME ON OUT TO ROLLS ROYCE OFF 635 AND SKILLMAN AND SHOW US WHAT YOU HAVE!!!!.......WE ARE STILL GIVING AWAY $250…..AND NOW, WE ARE ALSO LETTING YOU HAVE YOUR OWN 15 MINUTES SHOWCASE SLOT…..FOR DETAILS, YOU HAVE TO BE THERE……DOORS OPEN AT 10!!............DONT BE LATE KNUCKLEHEADS!!!!!!..........
AND THIS SATURDAY, MARCH 27TH, SPACESHIP OHAYSES WILL BE LIVE IN CONCERT…….SEASONED VETERANS SERIES AT THE LIQUID LOUNGE……DORRS OPEN AT 8………COME ON DOWN TO DEEP ELLUM…..IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN SPACESHIP OHAYSES LIVE IN CONCERT, YOU ARE MISSING A TREAT!!!.........THE LIQUID LOUNGE IS LOCATED AT 2800 MAIN STREET ….DRINK SPECIALS ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!...........
I would love to see everybody out this Saturday……I really haven’t performed much in the last few months so this is a nice chance for me to re-kindle with the audience and it gives you a chance to see me perform….on a weekend even!!!!!..........
I just realized I didn’t get a quote today….WHATSUPWITDAT???............
Oh well…still have a quote though………………….
“We are no longer happy as soon as we wish to be happier”
Ever felt like that at work?.......as soon as you start looking for a new job, everything at your old job sucks……even in relationships…..start talking to someone new and everything your old companion does irritate you……watch that…grass isn’t always greener…..and if it is, it might be fake……hell sometimes there isn’t any grass on the other side…I’m just saying………..
Shout outs to my girl Chips Ahoy….yeah, I got a nickname for you…….I appreciate you reading everyday…..and my mans Blaze Won…….Google that name……I guarantee he is somewhere on some website killing some innocent cat with his spit……..that’s hip hop for lyrics mortals…………
Okay I am out of here…..
Love yall!!!!!!!!
