Xcel 360 Is Now Open & Is Changing Young Lives One Day At A Time..
I was lucky enough to be bought onto Xcel 360 as the Director Of The Music Program, But This Company Is UNREAL! They have a massive Gymnastics room & teach young kids how to stay healthy and do things that blew my mind as far as floor routines are concerned. The Xcel All-Stars only had a few months to prepare and they went and won First Place in both Competitions that they entered in.
Next, There is a Huge Line-Up of Indoor Batting Cages and they are Brand Spanking New. Anytime that I have been there, the huge building has been swamped with Students either learning Gymnastics or The Batting Cages which take Full Teams as Groups or just indivdual people trying to stay healthy in their mind and body.
Now, I have been lucky enough to have the Title of Director Of The Music Program Bestowed Upon Me & Besides Lessons, There are SO MANY COOL THINGS THAT WE WILL TEACH IN THE MUSIC PROGRAM.
XCEL 360 - CHECK IT OUT~

HOPEFORHAITI.ORG
If you didn’t happen to see the 2 hour telethon to help raise money for the 150,000 (& Counting) deaths caused by this horrible tragedy, it was very inspiring and the most amazing moment to me being a vocalist was when Jay-Z Hooked Up With Rihanna + Bono + The Edge From U2 (in case you didn’t know)~ I think that Performance, Dave Matthews Song & Wyclef Jean (A Haitian Native) were the only Songs that were completely brand new & written in the very short time since the first Earthquake occurred. You can YouTube any of the Performances and go to HOPE FOR HAITI NOW to Donate whatever you can. Haiti was already in shambles and run by a corrupt Government for a long time, but somewhere around 42% of the Whole Nation are Children between the ages of 0.1-12!!!! These are children who have absolutely no chance at life unless they follow the other “successful” individuals in their Country who Steal, Deal Drugs, Run Prostitution & other horrible ways to survive.
These are just my thought on the matter, but I am telling you: THAT JAY-Z + RIHANNA + BONO + THE EDGE PERFORMANCE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!
I Took A Little Break.. But I Am Back. xo
Well. I took a little break from my CPU & all of the Blogging/Writing/Music/Film/Screenplays/Production/Songwriting/ETC. for a good amount of time. I took about a month to myself and didn’t touch my beloved iMAC~ I don’t know if I was trying to find myself or maybe find some new inspiration for the Debut Album I am working on, But I feel A Lot better about everything and I guess that is important. The weird thing is that in the last month or so, I haven’t posted anything on tis little KNIFA WoRDPRESS BLOG & I have gotten many emails about the few Articles I wrote & even some comments. I have another BLoG that has somewhere around 100 Posts & for some reason, I never really told anyone about it, But just like this Blog, I would imagine that people would have found it.
I haven’t really taken the whole Blog thing seriously yet, But I start school in March for Broadcasting/Journalism & I will eventually be a powerful name in the world of Talking Heads 
Anyways.
There has been A LOT going on as of late & I will get around to all of the things that have me going soon enough, But for right now:
A. HAPPY NEW YEAR
B. GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE HORRIBLE EARTHQUAKE IN HAiTi
C. I HOPE THAT THIS NEW DECADE BRINGS MANY GOOD THINGS FOR EVERY GOOD PERSON IN THE WORLD & OUR COUNTRY CAN GET BACK ON TRACK, PEOPLE WANT TO HATE ON OBAMA, BUT AT LEAST THE MAN IS TRYING & HE GENUINELY SEEMS TO CARE~!! MUCH MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR THIS ONE A$$HOLE THAT WAS IN OFFICE THE OTHER DAY.
IF YOU READ THIS. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT. YOU WILL ENJOY MY CRAZY MIND & GET TO SEE ME BECOME SUCCESSFUL ON MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS OF WHAT I ENJOY~
MUSIC. ART. FILM. POETRY. SCREENWRITING. NOVELLAS. ACTING. HACKING. SONGWRITING. GUITAR. PIANO. KEYBOARDS. BASS. SOUND PRODUCTION/EDITING.

BEST YOUNG BANDS IN MUSIC??!! YOUR OPINIONS??!!
Manchester Orchestra, The Strongest & Most Emotional Band Out Of These 4 BANDS & THAT IS SAYING A LOT!!!! Not to mention Andy Hull is also part of the sickest side project since Team Sleep & not only is it painfully emotional, intense & beautiful – But, it & he has it planned out so well. They have 2 Albums out right now & their 3rd Album will be the end to a trilogy amongst a concept regarding a Captain of an old fishing Boat who sets sail and finds the thing that he misses, loves, hates & believes in.. Along with insane Sea Creatures that I won’t even ruin for than fan that will look into this. I have so much respect for Mr. Andy Hull & I am going to try and get Andy to give me my first interview ever for my little Blog which will become an actual website once all of my money isn’t going towards helping others. I figure the Karma Police will eventually come & bail me out of these shackles..
Mimicking Birds – Nate Lacy Was Already My Favorite Songwriter In The Indie Game & Then My Favorite Musician From My Favorite Band (American Band & Almost Global) To Sign Them To Glacial Pace. If You Don’t Know Who I Am Talking About, Then You Apparently Need To Do Some Research~!!
Phoenix (One of my Top Albums Of The Year! By Far The Best Musicians Of All The New Bands. Their Sass Factor Reaches That Of HOT FUZZ By The Killers & That Is BEcause Of ALL 4 MEMBERS INVOLVED!! Greatest Band From France, Not The Best Singer.. They Would Be Lucky To Crack Top 10, But I Think Their Upside Is A STRONG A+ ~
He Dreams Awake Is The Weird One Of The Bunch.. I Heard Of Him Through A Mutual Friend & I Was Blown Away With The 40+ Tracks I Got My Hands On & That Is When I FOund Out That He Doesn’t Do Many Interviews, There Aren’t Any Pictures I Can Find Of Him & He Hasn’t Even Released His Debut Album Yet~ His Music Is Very Intriguing & The Theories + Structure That He Uses Or Refuses To Use, Makes It That Much More Mysterious To Me. There Is Something About This Solo Artist Who Obviously Treats Music As An Art & His Title Of Musician More Like A Status Of An Artist. This Doesn’t Sound Right, But I Don’t Know What Makes Sense With This Individual & I Would Put A Lot Of Money On The Fact That Is Exactly How He Is Playing His Cards.. Very Close To The Chest~
So. There Are My Four Best Rising Bands in the Industry~
I Hope You Check Them Out & Give Me Some Feedback On These Four Bands & Better Yet, Who You Think The Best Young Bands Are & It Would Be Cool To Hear Of A Few More Like HDAwake, Artists That Are Still UNDER THE RADAR
A BUNCH OF SPORTS QUESTIONS RANGING FROM HEISMAN TO CHAMPIONSHIP GAME CANDIDIATES & WINNERS~ TOP 2 AFC + NFC TEAMS IN THE NFL+ETC.+ X INFINITY

KELLEN MOORE?! & MY THREE FAVORITE DEFENSIVE PLAYERS: NDAMUKONG SUH – BRANDON SPIKES – ERIC BERRY ( I HOPE THE BUCS GET HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

EMINEM IS APPARENTLY GOING TO RE-UP AND OFFICIALLY REFiLL FANS ON DECEMBER 22ND WITH A RE-RELEASE OF RELAPSE WHICH INCLUDES 7 NEW SONGS~
IT DEFINITELY SUCKS THAT ONLY 7 SONGS WILL BE RELEASED BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR WHEN EVERYONE THOUGHT THAT RELAPSE 2 WAS COMING, BUT IF YOU SAW HIM PERFORM AT THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS TONIGHT, YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN HIM PERFORM ONE OF THOSE SONGS ONCE 50 CENT WALKED OFFSTAGE. IT WAS EXTREMELY DOPE AND HE WAS SPITTING FURIOUSLY AT A SPEED I HAVEN’T HEARD SINCE THE MARSHALL MATHERS LP~ I WOULD RATHER HAVE 7 SONGS IN A MONTH AND THEN RELAPSE 2 NEXT YEAR AND ALL OF IT BE DOPE RATHER THAN HIM RUSHING IT AND PUTTING PURE $HIT OUT JUST CAUSE EVERYONE WANTS 40 SONGS RELEASED IN AN 8 MONTH TIME PERIOD. I’M GONNA GIVE YOU GUYS A LINK TO A STRAIGHT UP iLL COLLABO BETWEEN MOS DEF, BLACK THOUGHT & EMINEM WHO STRAIGHT UP MURDERS IT~ ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO SAYS HE IS DONE, YOU CAN SHOW THEM THIS LITTLE CLIP WHERE THE WHOLE CROWD GOES CRAZY AT THE END OF MARSHALL FIRING AND THAT IS SAYING ALOT CONSIDERING MOS DEF & BLACK THOUGHT ARE SO DANGEROUS IN THEIR OWN RIGHTS~
THE SONG THAT THIS MADMAN PERFORMED AT THE AMA’S TONIGHT WAS “FOREVER” & IT IS INCLUDED ON RELAPSE:REFILL~ TRUST ME, IT IS UP THERE WITH SOME OF MY FAVORITE SONGS BY HIM~
