My Debut

Okay, okay...I've finally decided to sit down and start a blog. I've been rolling this idea around in my head for several months now and I've decided it is time. I guess I'm going to let the world in on how my mind works and how frantic it becomes some days. I'm not sure who will read my blog or if anyone will even care about my crazy stories of a mother, a career woman, a single parent, and a rap music loving freak.

Let me start by introducing everyone to River $ity Rydars. Yes, I know, you're all probably scratching your heads right now wondering why a 32 year old woman with a child and a profession is listening to River $ity Rydars. I do love rap/R&B music but I know one of the members of the "crew." He goes by "G". I used to know him as "Lil G" but I guess through the years he has since dropped the "Lil." I used to date a friend of "G's" from what seems like a hundred years ago. I used to watch "G" scribble on notebooks that he carried around, along with 20 other notebooks with scribble in them, in a backpack. We go out to the club and he had that backpack. We would see him at the mall and there was the backpack. Even after me and the friend broke up, I would still see "G" around town scribbling with the backpack.

I thought about "G" and his peeps through the years. I often wondered what came of all that scribbling. One day, I logged into my Myspace account and there he was. Older of course. Right there...with some of the peeps. I couldn't believe my eyes....or ears for that matter. I sat at my computer and listen to all of their tracks that I could download. I sat at my computer and smiled for a long time.

I am so proud of him for following his dream, for keeping all those notebooks with the scribble in them. I am so excited for him. He is pursuing what has meant the most to him for what seems like forever.

Hopefully, I will make it to one of his shows and I will get to stand in the front row to cheer him one. I will probably be the only 32 year old baby's momma in the crowd : )
