Recently I slowed it down a bunch from going out all the time and getting back to who I'm of just kickin' back with the homies and those closest to me, getting back to the elements and realities of "who I'm" as a person. Perception is everything.. For almost a year now ever since i started working at my current job, everyone has had the perception of me as a person that goes out all the time or someone enjoying the so called "good life" that Vegas has to offer. Don't get me wrong those are enjoyable moments and definitely a good time.. but it just wasn't me. I gave it a shot for a little while to kinda hash up the things I was going through at the time, and maybe change myself, telling myself that maybe I can live the rock star life that's available when I call for it. Its been fun, meeting new people seeing new things and experiencing somethings that previously Ive only experience with one other person. At the end of it all I just don't fit in that lifestyle. I found myself trying to change myself for the wrong reasons and ended up not liking myself for it.
So here's me...
Hello,
My name is Mico Velasco, I like playing basketball,I love music and girls in sweats and tank tops, I love the simple yet fun things in life and would rather just have an intellectual and deep conversation with my friends sharing our opinions on the world,rather than out and about destroying myself every night. I enjoy boring things like thinking of how the sunset on the coast of San Diego will be like in the morning. In an analogy I think I'm like the movie Napoleon Dynamite.. Something no one cared for to see at first but later picked it up on DVD and enjoyed it after they saw it. (had to toot my own horn there lol).
What made me think of writing this passage is what happened at my house the other night.. When the guys and I kick it we usually always talk big game of "Yo we have to get some females to come through and get our some some some on" yet every night we talk that same game.. The night always ends up fun, i think it was lexx and I or Justin and I that were talking at my house about how come even though We miserably fail at trying to try to do.. It always ends up being a really fun night ?! The only thought i ha on my mind as a response was because every ones personality in the room just makes a mood of fun. I'm not even talking about a big group of people, literally theres a solid core of 5 of us that kick it every Monday and Tuesday at my house that just make a night of good times.
Its funny because I turn up a song from the Little Brother album called the minstrel show the other night and Justin was like "is this the whole album" quickly to his excitement and next thing you know he and I are vibing to this song and that energy gets to the others in the room and quickly they go "who is this singing this song ?" I'm glad that everyone enjoyed something so old that it felt new again ! I posted a lyric of the song of facebook and twitter not to long after we were listening to the song and sure enough the hip hop crazies on the net showed up lol.. here is the the first..
"Cheatin" - Little Brother
This next one was the one that after it played everyone was vibin' to..
"Slow it down" - Little Bother
"Sometimes I think I'm from another world (preach)
When I'm trynna tell a woman just exactly where I stand that (aight)
I want a girl, when I want a girl
And when I don't want a girl, I want a girl who understands that
And that's some hard shit to explain
To a woman that's in love with you, it's a pitiful thing
Until I had to figure
That I don't wanna play around, but I don't wanna settle down
And that's a man's dilemma, 'cause every man remembers
How his daddy and his uncles did it
'Cause more than likely that's the way they're gonna do it
I know it sound fucked up and most wont admit it
But yo, I gotta face it 'cause I know I'm living through it
'Cause when the party stops and niggaz get old
And the chain and the cars and the houses get sold, and that
Other side of the bed gets cold, you don't wanna be alone
So girl I'm trynna hold you.."
Good Day to all,
Mics
