Fans, Music and More!

Hey everybody..Happy Friday and 4th of July weekend! I'm sorry if I'm unable to get around to everyone, but your support means so much to me. I wouldn't have been able to get this far without you. I've been thinking a lot lately about where my career is heading. I'd rather do music than anything else. It's everything to me. Art is just another way to pass the time away if I can't be doing music..like a hobby..but Music is the very life of me. I want it to go further, go forward, and I'm ready for that to start happening. I'm not making it happen on my own. I need HELP. If you're interested in my work, I'm looking for management, or anyone who could help me produce and distribute my own CD. I want to start playing live. I will be starting a live internet show where I'll be performing with guitar, but I also want to do live shows and gigs, locally. If you're interested in having me perform anywhere in the tri-state area of WV, OH, and KY, drop me a message at jadeevalley@comcast.net

What is today?

Hmmm..depending on how you look at it..just another day..or it could be the BEST DAY of your life, if you MAKE the MOST! :)

If you have a Dream, Chase it
If you have a Name, Use it
If you have a Face, Show it to the world
If you have a Game, Don't play it
There's a woman trapped no more
If you're bound, Break Free
If you have a voice, Sing
If you're hurt, Get over it
If you're healing, Exactly what I mean.
If you're afraid, There's only one thing to do..PRAY
But whatever, whenever, however we love..Make the most of the days given to Us!

Clues?

Maybe life gives us clues..Maybe people give us clues. Right in front of us..so easy that it's hard. Hard to see, hard to grasp..like a feather floating in the wind. Unable to get your fingers around it. Every time you go to reach for it, the small gust you create with your hand just pushes it further away. Sort of like a beach ball in the ocean. The harder you try to get it, the further it floats away from you. This is driving me mad. My mind is walking on tacks...A train screeching on its tracks. HALT..STOP..I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. In my mind, There's a Door. I'm walking through, oh yeah. With each step, a heavy load. Burdened by something undisclosed. Who goes there I say, Let me Know.

When you let life be as it is..It will remain as it is. When you stand up and say what you believe...even if it's in a blog, vlog, or internet diary.
At least then you'll know you said..You knew it wasn't all in your head.

If everyone in the world took God's advice and Treated others as they wanted to be treated..The world would be an awesome place. If we all lived by that rule of thumb, no questions asked...Just treated each other how we wanted them to treat us, unconditionally..Not based on how they actually treated us, or how we felt like treating them at the time...but how we WANTED them to treat us...Then everyone would go around treating everyone lovely. We all want love and to be treated with respect and decency..That is what we should give to others. If we can't offer that, then what can we offer anymore? PEACE? LOVE? HAPPINESS? CONTENTMENT? Human emotional needs are a huge part of who we are as a species. Our souls carry the spirit of us. The spirit is what animates our awareness of self. It gives us knowledge of our being. We know we're alive, right...That comes from the spirit that exists in us, that exists in our psyche.

The human mind is a beautiful thing..as is the human spirit. They go hand in hand, working together, creating a being of intellect and knowledge of self. Together, they connect us to our own spiritual self. When we allow our minds to open, we can discover the truest answers to life. Ultimately, I believe one finds out, that question answers itself. There are no answers because if you're peaceful enough with self and content with the life you're living, there should be no question needing an answer. Total enlightenment comes when one's mind has opened to the point they no longer see themselves as a physical being, but as a spirit of love and nature. It is the very spirit of God that is in all of us. The same spirit that was in Jesus Christ. It's why he was sent here, to teach us of the spirit that exists in us. It was the miraculous spirit of love and nature that God wanted us to bond with. He wanted us to fall in love with it. If we fell in love with the spirit of it, then we would be falling in love with him...With his presence. He wants us to know where we come from. He wants us to seek the light.

The dark is comfortable for some people, but it can be a place of despair for others. I try to see it both ways and remember that one needs the other to exist. The dark is as dark as we see it and the light will shine as bright as we want.

Cyber Life, Lies, and Getting Passed Being Stumped, Oh My

I'm tired. My heart hurts and I cry. I'm so tired of trying to make things work out. I scream out...I'M SO TIRED...PLEASE GOD SAVE ME FROM MY OWN MISERY. I'm tired of taking bull from life. I'm tired of being strung along by love. Do you ever feel like you're stuck in one place? It's not moving forward, not going anywhere. You feel it, and it torments you like a claw-happy cat jumping on your back on the first day of the worst sunburn of your life...Pure Agony would be the best term to use. It's like being stuck at a dead end road..You're still walking though, so your nose keeps bumping the concrete wall in front of you..Preventing you from being able to walk on. You feel so determined to get passed it, you end up breaking your nose in a desperate attempt to "move on". You cry out in a dark room, but does anyone hear? HELP ME!! You walk in circles, trying to get out. With your arms stretched forward, in front of you, you keep walking into walls..No windows, no lights, no flesh, no sound..Only darkness..Stillness and the very breath of your soul. You can hear your own hum and feel your own vibe....You cry. Does anyone see? Does anyone feel what you feel?

We all need closure, from relationships and "cyber ships". We have to get passed things to be able to go on to the next part of our lives. Our spirits are not happy if they feel confined in a tight spot, or entrapped by imprisonment.

It's not fun wearing my heart and emotions on my sleeve in this cyber world of fakeness and lies..or having to explain all this to anyone. For me, now is the time in life for enlightenment. I want to learn and go forward, not dwell on petty things and pain of the past. I've wasted too much of my life already..being "wounded". Now I'm ready to live.

Do you ever feel like you're being lied to? Do you ever feel like someone is studying you, analyzing you, testing who you are as a person, for their own personal interest. Okay, what is it about the internet that makes someone paranoid?...I think maybe, just maybe..I've got a little case of paranoia after being on the internet for two years. I came here to get my work out there, trying to share my work with others. It's started turning into something else, and I'm not sure if it's agreeing with me anymore. People in real life say I need to break from the internet if it's going to make me cry and cause stress. I can get nervous if i feel overwhelmed by something or someone. Taking hate about my work is not what I'm talking about either. I learned to let that stuff roll off my back a long time ago. I'm talking about when it starts getting personal in a world that was designed to be deceptive...the web.

I'm not going to disclose my personal information and past emotional baggage to anyone on the internet, so don't bother asking me. I can barely determine who can really be trusted on the web and who is being straightforward, upfront, and honest about their identity. You can trust someone, then find out they're really someone else..taking on multiple identities..for whatever reasons. In this day and age, it's so easy to be someone else..and no one would ever know.

Like you, I wasn't born yesterday, so don't mistake me for a fool. If I'm nice and kind to someone, it's because I want to be. Don't mistake kindness for weakness, thinking you can walk all over me...and I won't be none the wiser. Don't play games with me thinking I'll never know. I sense more that I'm given credit for. I'm uncomfortable with lies. With the way everything is fake in the cyber world, some people actually are under the impression, it's okay to lie...or that it's okay to pretend to be someone else and lead someone on under a fake identity.

IT'S NOT OK!!!!!! It's not right. Life does this thing where it loves to come back on you..and lies are the worst. When they show their ugly face, it's not pleasant. I have a radar...but it's not always so great. Sometimes, I miss things I should pick up on, and sometimes I get it completely wrong the other way around...Thinking I know something, when in fact, I don't.

Honestly, I don't want to spend my time talking about these things..I'd rather be writing blogs of positive nature..but there are moments when I'm beside myself, when I feel at the end of my rope. I feel cooked and simmered over...Too late. Now I have to play it by ear. Yeah, not always a great idea either. Some situations need more nurturing and guidance. What makes me feel frustrated?...I can't tell what my situation is. How or to who I need to be giving the nurturing. I'm stumped.

I appreciate the internet, and I'm grateful for what it's enabled me to do, don't get me wrong...but like everything else in life, it's a two-way lane...like dark and light..hot and cold, good and bad..There's great things about the internet and there's bad things. Trouble is knowing which is which, so you can avoid the bad. If you want to come to the internet for work and professional reasons, be weary of the downside. Think positive and keep a positive attitude, but always be on guard with a backbone. It's great to make friends, but also be cautious when making cyber friends, especially if you're a youth.

My sister says she won't talk to anyone on the internet unless they're upfront and honest about their identity. If they're hesitant to show you who they are. If they make excuses about their pictures and letting u see them, it's because they have something to hide. Don't be fooled. PLEASE. Because I'm nice and treat people accordingly, doesn't mean I'm bait for intimidation or manipulation. If you dont' want to be honest and straightforward about who you are...the real you, the real life you, then don't come around asking me to give out that kind of information. I'm not going to disclose myself to someone who may or may not be around the next time I go to talk to them. Some peeps have ways of disappearing from their accounts, making a new one the next day as someone else...just to contact you again. Funny thing is...it's like you sense them in both identities. Really, I don't know how to explain any of this the way I want to. The internet can be a dark place full of uncertainty. The truth is..cyber life is not REAL LIFE and it never will be. I choose real life. Jesus was sent here for this very reason...HOPE! No matter what, everything will be OK.

Stick close to what you know to be the truth and you'll choose the right path. I just hope I can follow my own advice.
