It was all a dream…<24 Before the Beginning of the Rest of My Life…
ByTomorrow, my new life begins…From the Silicon Valley/Bay Area to Arkansas to New Orleans to Arkansas to NYC. I gotta dip off to Cali real quick to drop of the whip….but in essence this is still the end of what has become my life out in this wilderness called Arkansas.
Amidst the packing, goodbyes, and ridding myself of all the things that I have acquired over the years, I hate to say that I have very little time to worry about the things that well don’t mean a whole lot to me now…even though at one point these things may have meant the world to me. It’s an attribute that some respect and others despise…not to say that I am conditional but I do know that when it’s time to let go… it’s time to let go.
In less than 24 hours, I will be legally a New Yoker…one thing is certain though; I will never forget how it all came to be.
I keep trying to figure out how to utilize my blog on my site…maybe aloud like this before maybe not. Should I use it as a “show prep” site to show possible radio employers that I can keep my fingers on the pulse of pop culture? Should I use it as an arena to brag, boast, and beautify the small moments of triumph that I recieve at different times to create a bigger and greater perception than really is? I’ve dabbled with all of the above and now I have the perfect idea…the absolute truth.
I’ve always been told I have a great story; I’ve also been told that I always have a great story so here is where I will bring the true things to life as I see them and as I make my way from certain obscurity to whatever destiny, positioning, and hard work take me over time.
Let’s face it…there are so many times in life where there is struggle, strife and insecurity and when we get out of that dark tunnel there’s only enough light to recoup enough strength to go through the next… But then there are time when life throws you things nothing short of magnificent that affirm the reasoning of taking the path that has been chosen. At the same, there are the little moments in between that just make you say WTF? This will embody all of the above.
For those of you that are new to all that makes the entity that is called Dre Boogs and a guy that’s known at home as just plain old Andre, I invite you to take this voyage with me. This will be nothing short of an experience that will at times make you strive for whatever dream you have instead of settling for what seems easy and also, there will be a lot of times where you will get a laugh at my expense…Thank you for being here!
To all my 479′ers I cannot thank you enough for all that you have given to me throughout the years…the support, the love, the fights, arguements, helping me fight my worst enemy…This is only the beginning!
