Throughout my life there have been many things that I have shown passion for, but I would say the biggest would be music. Throughout the ups and downs of my life, it was the melody that drove my heart, it was rhythm that controlled my soul, the only peace I could find in a world full of distractions. In seventh grade I got published for a poem I wrote for women's rights in the form of Mya Angelo. Wow! if something I had no idea about could get published, what about something I did? From there music seemed to follow my life everywhere I went. Poetry turned into rap, as I embarked on an epic urban underground adventure. After some years, I began to realize maybe I had the wrong dream but was in the right direction. How could I make a career out of music? My true passion. After years of deliberation, I am now currently trying to make my dreams come true, by producing local artists learning the ins and outs of the industry, and trying to make a name for myself in hopes of one day being a big as puff daddy himself.
I also have an uncommonly large infatuation with barbering. From simple fades, to portrait designs in people's head's I strive to be the best. I love everything about it, from something as simple as the sound of the clippers heating up in the morning, to he smell of the barber side (sanitizing product) we use to clean those very clippers every day. This is my passion. I never knew barbering was something that I would enjoy, but it was love at first line. As much as I want to be the best, my main goal in this industry, is to make enough money and clientele to open up my own shop within the year... And will do this.
With barbering and music alike, I intend to touch people's hearts, and make an impact on their lives. Whether one song, or one haircut at a time. I intend to once a year hold a cut-a-thon for homeless people, foster kids and sick children. But don't get it wrong with my shop itself, I'm only targeting a rich demographic. With music, I'm targeting the masses. My clients strive to make music to get people through tough times and on to better things. The kind of music that makes the hair on your arms stand up. Lyrical masterpieces, put in such a way, not only would your mind be blown, but your speakers as well. The kind of music that helps people, and that's all we do, it help people.

I can make music with my voice

Rap the night away till my

Then wake up tomorrow, heart beating to the same
life
song
the sounds in the air are the strings that I strum
and the ground beneath my feet is the beat to my
drum
the passion for mike is my passion for the mic
stronger than Mel Gibson's passion for Christ
Jesus
that's a lot
but I'm constantly this
man stuck asking for more like poor Oliver twist
its music that drives me like a high speed chase
to the star I will become tell em
I need space!
on dead dogs ill make it like a Chinese plate
or ill drift off and crash like a Chinese race

Mike,
ReplyDeleteGreat post. This writing has some true passion exuding from it. I'm glad that you found a solid passion with barbering, and it seems like you're making that path unfold for yourself right now. I think opening your own shop in a year is a great goal. Something you can certainly do, and do well.
Your writing, in both your journal and your poem (rap) is very good. It's strikingly good. I hope that you enjoy writing these little pieces each week, as there is a lot of talent in your writing - in how you construct sentences to the vocabulary you use, to the way in which you express yourself. It's powerfully impressive.
Let's keep it up for another 4-5 weeks, so that you finish as strong as you can. With work like this, all you have to do is be consistent - and your will do very well.
