So I currently have three blogs, Hip-Hop Manifesto!!!: The Blog (imusic), Spideyville Unlimited (my music), and this one (personal). How would you guys feel if I combined my music blog with this one? It would mean there would be more music content then regular content  and I'm afraid it might turn off some of you guys. Thoughts?

Over at Hip-Hop Manifesto!!!: The Blog:

And at Spideyville Unlimited: The Music Blog Of B Hyphen:

 On LJ.

I no longer have the xanga site. Well, it's there, but I'm not posting there anymore. So I'm LJ exclusive now. Whoo! lol.

I've been mostly busy redesigning B Hyphen.com. It's not ready yet tho, don't look. I made a new music blog at http://itshyphen.blogspot.com. I added some stuff to the Soundvizion myspace.

I added a whole crapload of videos to Youtube. I'm only posting two tho. Here's a playlist from my last show at Bucks.

The other night, I got to talk to my friend I've known for 8 years, Erik Fromme aka efromme for the first time. He asked me about the status of my podcast and then shared some thoughts on hip-hop and my music. And I recorded it.  We talked on the phone like schoolgirls. lol. Also, check out the Marvel Anthology and B Hyphen.com promotion!

I also have been updating Hip-Hop Manifesto!!!: The Blog pretty often again too. So I'm doing pretty nice on the computer.

If only writing and music came as easy.

So we'll see what happens. I hope to get this blog more content than just my twitter posts. But that's always my goal isn't it.

I'm going out of town this weekend, won't be back until Sunday. And I work all Thanksgiving week. Not cool. But it is cash. Enough for now.

Listening to Mickey Factz' new mixtape. WOW.

Pretty average day today. It rained.

I was walking matter of fact and I saw this car pull up real slow behind me. So I figured I knew who it was. Nope. I paused my ipod and turned around. This guy asked me where I was heading and I told him just down the street. He said okay and said something along the lines that he was going to give me a ride if I needed it. I thanked him and declined and he went down the road.

Now...I looked myself over. Cargo shorts, WVU hoodie, Jordan 14's. I didn't look like I needed help.

So this guy was actually asking if I wanted a ride out of the goodness of his heart or he had weird intentions.

For a 25 year old. lol.

I'm going with good intentions.

Then I asked myself if I would have stopped for joe schmoe on the street in the rain.

Doubtful.

Than a couple bars came in my head. Then a song title.

We'll see if it goes any further.

I put the first real posts on HHM!!!: The Blog that I'm truly proud of in awhile...http://www.hiphopmanifesto.org

Got the new Better In The Dark finally.

Caught up on all the Angry Video Game Nerd episodes I missed last night.

Messed with that Mugen program most of the night. Now I'm over it. lol.

I guess today was more eventful than I thought...

It isn't my fault. I went to the station so I could call Angel since my phone's off. That's a hour round trip since I walked. And sat on the internet there in between. No big deal, you'll get at least another one.

Last night was as disastrous as I thought it would be. Everything is okay now but I definitely caused a scene in Bent. I really don't care who saw me tho, they don't me. lol. And I was sober too so I won't even try to blame it on that.

Today I worked on Angel's website/blog for her A.P. History class. After several attempts we finally got it the way she wanted it. I just hope the site's more user friendly for the kids then it was for me.

We got Coldstone and she left around seven-ish.

Now I type alone. Technically Ed's downstairs and the menu from the School For Scoundrels DVD is playing over and over. I probably have another hour in me before I crash even tho I have no class until 3:30. Lucky me.

I should write something. Anything in fact. Maybe I will. Food would be nice too.

Irregular week goals:
Work on B Hyphen.com redesign
Update HHM: The Blog
Write/record some new songs
Promote 6'6 show this Thursday
Work on Robin issues

I probably will have none of this done by next Sunday. lol.

Because I should be doing it more. I'm gonna try to have at least one post a day from now where I actually type something from here until 2009. Not too difficult a task right? Weekends don't count tho. lol.

Went to FallFest last night, which is WVU's big welcome back concert they have every year. Lupe Fiasco was here and he KILLED it. Matt and I weren't in the best spots ever but I saw the whole show thanks to the huge video screen. I studied his show a lot too. Anytime I can soak up some knowledge that's going to make my stage show better, I'll take it.

I've now seen live:
Jay-Z
R. Kelly
Kanye West
Usher
Talib Kweli
Common (for 10 minutes. Stupid thunderstorm!)
Lupe Fiasco
Black Eyed Peas
The Roots
Pete Rock (DJ)
Fatman Scoop (DJ)
Redman
Boot Camp Clik
Memphis Bleek, Freeway, Young Gunz (they all came out during Jay's set, so they count. lol.)

Back in school. Day 2 went fine. Now I just have to get through one more year and a few summer classes and I'm done. Really.

Music is kinda at a standstill. I haven't done a new song since I did a song for DJ Coutz' album. I redesigned my myspace tho. lol. You can check it out at http://www.myspace.com/spideyville and you can also listen to or download The Mind's Mixtape volume Three there. The good news is I've never been more comfortable on stage and my live show is the best it's ever been. I really feel I'm starting to come into my own there.

Matt and I's blog is in the middle of reconstruction. I got a little too happy with trying to post every single new song that came out and I found myself dedicating 5 hours of a recent Saturday just to updating the blog with 2 weeks worth of missed tracks. So I'm reconstructing the site back into form that Matt and I originally invisioned. Johnathan also joined the site as a contributor but he has yet to contribute. lol. You can check that out at http://www.hiphopmanifesto.org. We'll also have the new episode of the podcast soon too.

I have an update I need to do for Marvel Anthology. It's only two issues but anything new is always welcome. I have three issues of Robin I'm about to turn in at DCA. My first issues in over a year and a half. I'm a great writer by the way. lol.

I'm going to be redesigning B Hyphen.com again. lol. I can't find something that I truly like enough to leave it there. But I got some ideas, hopefully something good will come of it.

I also plan on continuing and finishing my Behind The Music series for The Mind's Mixtape volume II and The Thunderstorm Mixtape. Then I can do the one for volume Three. I wanted to start on volume Three but I didn't think it was right to skip two mixtapes.

For now tho, I think that covers all the bases. Here's two facebook photo galleries from my last two shows.
