Nostalgia

It has been 8 years since I recorded my first song. It featured one of my closest friends and hip hop mentor Prophecy (then Pricey). i remember my heart pounding through out the recording session. I stood in that booth with sweaty palms, nervous out of my mind, but is was the most liberating feeling ever. Watching a creation unfold. Felt like I was on top of the world.
Now it almost a decade later what has changed. I am no longer intimidated by a recording booth or any artist. I can go head to head with any rapper out there. I can now produce my own beats. As much as I feel I am more versatile, I feel less dominant. Where did it all go wrong?
I could not have a pen and paper in my hands and not scribble a verse or a couple bars. Lines upon lines and tunes played in my mind all day, everyday. I was tormented by having all these ideas and material to make music but no outlet as i was stuck in my high school hostel. I would save up pocket money for studio time on the holidays, just to get a chance to express myself in music form. Most around me could not understand the drive I had and some even called me crazy.
Over thirty songs later, award nominations, national television and radio guest appearances I found myself stuck somewhere in oblivion. The hunger, the zeal, the ideas and at times i fear even the passion is gone. So where it it all go wrong? Maybe life has got the better of me. Being a father and university creative arts student, maybe I have less mental time for my own artist creation. All i do is hope to have the feeling I had when I made Roll Deep in 2003 once again.

Bacteria Infested

Everyday people make fuss about hygiene, which is not a bad thing. However we tend to be selective bout our hygienic tendencies. How many germs are on that tap after washing your hands or that cellphone you texting with while eating?
I  argue with my friends about finding hair in food. My theory is if eating hair was dangerous, the human race would have join the dinosaurs a long time ago. Not that i support hair in my food, but i just think people over-react when it comes to these things. Babies by nature put everything in their mouth, by then the body is already 
recognizing the germs and which ones it can handle. So we may find germs all around us, but how many actually harm us.
So surely there is food poisoning and all that but i think we are being driven to a state of paranoia. People kiss everyday, share cigarettes and drinks how many germs do we exchange then. we handle money while doing everything. How much bacteria is on a note? A extreme case is oral sex. expect for sexually transmitted diseases, I don not know of anyone who has ever got an upset tummy after performing oral sex. So what should we be afraid off and what should we not be afraid off?
