THE 8R8 IN THE YEAR 2014

I wish I could say there was nothing to talk about in 2014 but that’s not true.  I have a ton of notes from the many places that I have seen. There has been an obvious shift of direction in my life. I have been reading my stories and at times I am not very happy with what I see. The content isn’t where I would like it to be. I wrote most of these stories on my phone. My arena to write is any dive bar in America. This for some odd reason is where I find my creativity. Great deals of my tales were written under the influence and I fear they aren’t very reader friendly at times. They were produced in the moment and often posted in the moment in a hurry. I rarely did any editing which has lead to my discontent. It was overwhelming but I have gotten to point where I can accept that these stories are rough drafts of some great moments in between. I have begun editing the 8r8’s content. I started at the beginning. There are obvious grammar issues. My brain misses small words that are essential to the read. I haven’t changed the core of the stories but I did expand at times to give the read a better flow. There will still be moments that you will not understand but I am working on that as well. I plan to dissect some of my stranger blogs and give some insight with a little commentary in the future. I would like to get into some of the specifics. I alluded to things that deserve an explanation. This has been a therapeutic process. I surprised myself and remember the people and influence that surrounded them. I edited Day n Night: The Rise of 2 Eights. I posted the picture of an Eight Ball in my hand. On surface it was meant to be an origin story of the 8r8 name but it became a story about one of the most twisted times in my life. I plan on revisiting those places but for now I will continue to edit. I will keep editing until this content meets my expectations. I do not have a timeline and I am taking my time because I think the stories deserves better. I also think you as the reader deserve better from me. Expect a new mission statement. My relationship with music has changed and continues to be complicated.  I will present the overdue introduction of my partner in crime who is 100% personality.  I would like to build something consistent. The 8R8 is proud of all the EDM kids for grabbing hold of a genre and owning it. Keep telling your stories and living your music. See you in 2015.
