in 2022 i had solid discipline, new chapter in life, and my volume of music was way cut down

but i had a lot more intention with the tracks i made

I was going really good with the tracks and the narrative and the sample telling the narrative until November when my stepfather died.

I woke up one day in 2023 to attack some tracks after some fun events, and I looked back and saw the tape that I had thought would take me a long time was done -- maybe it was a long time but in the moment, it was the moment

now it's time to re-up from that 2022 momentum that had a bit of a hiccup with life when it started raining, and hadn't stopped until march. it's march now, and the ides are iding.

this record is an autobiographical narrative of a young water kid finding his path into meaning and momentum in life fueled by one chief definite aim in life

to be a master investor of all market surrounded by friends and family who are all happy, healthy, wealthy, satisfied and self sufficient and that I am happy, healthy, wealthy, satisfied and self sufficient

started with Only the Scoreline Matters which is a cut from diddy deal making and the guy who makes soft white underbelly... supreme confidence and mastery... a foreshadowing of the future

goes to Grom To Goldman, a cut from Poopies on Steve-O podcast, an epitome of a Water Person, a little grom
Heaven is growing up in a very lucky situation

The Days is college days in U of A
DoJ is journalism with a hint of stocks
Paul Tudor Jones is the journalism foundation stumbling into finance
619 big waves
Uncle Joey get up and DO it Baby, LA waning era

Preperation was an old Tucson sample, lovely track

Wave Watcher, the latter era of beginning of studies. Using water to get real estate cycles and cycles in general. Momentum
Uncle bill familial history lesson and fun anecdote of apple tv and MLB deal

next era, i be posted at omni under oaktree
raining in la

16 hours is a respite, fallin' asleep in the club in hollywood
padres winning yalready know

7AM is a good mood when you're green
bill murray, tying it back to The Scoreline
a little detour with The Dress and the CLASSIC DEPUTY OF LOVE TRACK
finishing it off with some high bpm rihanna and an oldie flip



it's a journey that is mostly the beginning, and the story of getting to the beginning. i'm glad this is the next step. much love to everyone who reads, and to everyone who has taught me a lesson about myself. i told sean lee one time, and some others have echoed similar sentiments, that when i see something i don't like in someone it's something in me i need to fix -- i tend to believe you can't give love without nurturing your own, but you gotta take it when it comes as well.

be well, be great
