TODAY WAS A HECTIC DAY! BUT BEFORE I START, YOU PROBABLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY. WELL, YESTERDAY I TOOK PRISCILLA'S BEST FRIEND, WHICH WAS A GUEST IN OUR HOME FOR TWO WEEKS, TO THE AIRPORT. IT WAS REALLY TIME FOR HER TO GO HOME! NOT THAT SHE WAS A NUISANCE, BUT ALL THINGS MUST COME TO AN END EVENTUALLY -EVEN VACATIONS.
AFTER WE DROPPED HER OFF, WE WENT TO PICK UP P.STAR IN HARLEM. FROM THERE WE WENT TO THE BRONX TO MEET UP WITH AN OLD FRIEND, POMPEO MESSANO, WHO’S BEEN AN ENGINEER AND RECORD PRODUCER FOR MANY YEARS. WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO THE STUDIO WHEN WE DECIDED TO EAT FIRST. AFTER WE ATE, WE FINALLY ARRIVED AT POMPEO'S STUDIO. PSTAR WAS NOT FEELING WELL AND SHE WAS ALSO EXTREMELY TIRED. I TOLD MY PARTNER THAT WE WOULD PROBABLY BE THERE FOR ONLY SEVERAL MINUTES.
THE PURPOSE OF THE TRIP WAS TO SEE AN OLD FRIEND OF COURSE, BUT TO ALSO DISCUSS SOME BUSINESS AND LISTEN TO A REMIX OF A SONG PSTAR HAS BEEN WORKING ON. THE MOMENT P.STAR HEARD THE REMIX VERSION OF THE SONG, SHE WENT INSANE! IT WAS CLEAR THAT SHE LOVED THE NEW SOUND HE GENERATED FOR THE SONG. HER EXHAUSTION AND ILLNESS APPEARED TO GO RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW! OF COURSE, WITH THIS NEW-FOUND ENERGY, THEY BEGAN WORKING ON A NEW SONG. IT WAS A SONG SHE'S HAD AN IDEA TO DO FOR SOME TIME, SO THAT 5 MINUTES NOW BECAME A 3 HOURS SESSION!
I MUST SAY THAT THIS WAS A BEAUTIFUL AND COMFORTABLE STUDIO! IT WAS CLEAR THAT HE PUT A LOT OF WORK AND CARE INTO THIS ENVIRONMENT. IT FELT LIKE WE WERE IN SOME KIND OF SPACESHIP! FROM THERE WE WENT HOME -QUITE EXHAUSTED!
TODAY STARTED OFF KIND OF WEIRD. I WAS SUPPOSED TO VISIT MY FRIEND DONALD SMITH, AT HIS HOME, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK OUT THAT WAY. MY FRIEND, WHO IS RECOVERING FROM SURGERY, WANTED ME TO COME OVER, BUT I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM SINCLAIRE'S SCHOOL. THE PHONE CALL WAS A REQUEST TO SEE ME REGARDING SINCLAIRE'S SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. I HAD TO TEXT DONALD AND LET HIM KNOW THAT I COULD NOT MAKE IT. HE WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING ME, BUT I WILL TRY AND SEE HIM TOMORROW INSTEAD -SORRY D!!
WHEN I ARRIVED AT SINCLAIRE'S SCHOOL, I SPOKE WITH THE PRINCIPAL AND I RECEIVED SOME TROUBLING NEWS. SINCLAIRE JUST GOT OFF FROM BEING GROUNDED AND WINDS-UP BACK IN TROUBLE AGAIN!! APPARENTLY, SHE HAD LEFT THE BUILDING AFTER LUNCH WITHOUT PERMISSION. THIS WAS A CLEAR A VIOLATION, AND A SUSPENDABLE OFFENSE -WHICH WAS A TREMENDOUS CONCERN TO ME. LEAVING SCHOOL GROUNDS CAN GET A STUDENT IN A WHOLE LOT OF TROUBLE THESE DAYS! AND OF COURSE, SUSPENSION WAS THE OPTION THE SCHOOL WANTED TO EXERCISE! WELL, WE GOT TO TALKING AND THEY WERE KIND ENOUGH TO GIVE HER DETENTION INSTEAD OF SUSPENSION.... ....BUT SHE IS GROUNDED AGAIN AT HOME!!
AFTER ALL OF THIS CRAZINESS IN THE MORNING, I MET UP WITH MY NEW PARTNERS FOR FATHER'S IN NEED, WILL SAVIVE AND ARMANDO SOTO. WE SAT DOWN TO DISCUSS HOW WE WERE GOING TO RUN THIS NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION. THERE WAS A LOT OF DETAILS WE NEEDED TO DISCUSS AND ESTABLISH. EVERYTHING FROM EXECUTIVE POSITIONS, TO LICENSING. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE IN'S AND OUT'S OF RUNNING THIS COMPANY. THERE'S SO MUCH THAT I NEED TO LEARN, THAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AS EASY AS MY ORIGINAL VENTURE - "DFE LLC." CLEARLY, THERE IS MORE TO KNOW AND MORE TO DO.
WELL, WE AT LEAST AGREED ON THE LOGO AND THE SLOGAN. THE SLOGAN SAYS: “REACHING OUT TO THOSE IN NEED." A SIMPLE, BUT CLEAR MESSAGE. AND, AFTER SOME HOURS OF AGREEMENTS & DISAGREEMENTS, WE HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT WE WILL BE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THIS ORGANIZATION!
WELL, I'M FEELING A BIT TIRED, SO I AM GOING TO SLEEP NOW.... UNTIL NEXT TIME!
LOVE,
JESSE JESS
