Today is Dec 30th, 2015. My Moms Birthday!!! Happy birthday mom you look beautiful as ever. You know Black don't crak and you been looking the same since the day you gave birth to me. For that I thank You. And for a portion of my great looks. I couldn't have done it without you!
My favorite day of the month. I read Proverbs 30, which is my favorite Proverb. But it's also the last post date for "Perspective."
You may or may not have been following the music along with each blog entry post but that is OK. If you went on youtube and searched for "Valet Del Roy", you'll find me. What's even more exciting is all the new content I have coming for you in this coming year. New music, poetry, short stories, blogs and video... Ohhhh I think we're going to have some fun.
Thinking About It is the last and final track piece to "Perspective", a music project I composed over a few years of my young adult life from the years 2007 - 2012. We don't need to go into further detail now because I have so much to share. It's a loaded verse ain't it. Please Enjoy.
I hope you find some time to check out the full project on YouTube or Soundcloud. Look out for a special blog tomorrow before we kick off 2016 in full effect. I love yall. Thanks for reading and letting me get into you life. Peace and blessing.

(State of Confusion)... a Look into Perspective
In my teen years, I was absolutely wrapped in my own sight. I'm about 87% sure. Not because I have actual figures of data, just what I've experienced in my life. I wouldn't say that I had tunnel vision, but I would say that my vantage point ruled over others. I had been completely involved in a lot of the mess that comes with adolescence: The attitude, the dating, the looseness, the recklessness, the fights, the drugs, The EVERYthing!
So late in 2007, when I was "pursuing God", or whatever that means to a human, who never really finds God, but rather finds that God reveals Himself at some point in time in some kind of way, which I DO NOT understand...
Yea, some time in 2007, when I began to become involved in various church ministries, the years flew by. In fact, by 2009, I felt that maybe the last five or six years had gone by without me noticing some particular details.
I hadn't watched TV for some time, I hadn't listened to the radio or any mainstream music for the most part, and I had been so involved in what I could see and find in "my view" that as the culture was shifting, I was present, but not conscious.
Needless to say, once I hit the explorer button again I saw something. It was alarming! It was offensive! It was "two-thousand-nine and beyond!" And what had become normal and the new acceptable really confused me. Of course this is nothing new in life, the World, the U.S.A., my city, your city and so on...
So what was I to do. Suddenly I had recognized that there would soon be a battle coming. One between "Christian culture" (whatever that was suppose to be in my view versus anyone else.) "Modern Culture" (the socially normal and acceptable by way of media outlet/focus/drive) and my conviction. Yes, My Conviction. It battles with the faith and those who are part of it as well as those who are not... So I wrote a song.
Because I felt like the world and I were in a similar place... a "State of Confusion."

(Legacy Tribute)... A Look into Perspective
This is a song about remembrance. Because the things we remember are special to us. The people we remember are dear to us. The moments we remember are eternal to us. That's how I especially feel about my grandparents. Words can't express. If you know then you know, and if you do not know it's ok. I'm sure that you have gained in an area of life that I cannot relate. But I understand, and I can still touch your heart strings.
There are people in life who we encounter that just, "stay". They're the parents of our friends, our family, strangers that we talk to in line at the dollar store and the blatant honesty of children asking us to make sense of our loaded statements.
Life is good. The gift of Life brings us together to experience spectacular chemistry. It can come from anyone and can happen at any time. It will leave its mark. We will remember it, it becomes a legacy. Your Legacy, My Legacy, Our Legacy.
Live that way. That's "Living to be Known"
