Passed down,
Hand me down,
It gets around,
All over your body,
Clothes, cars, and mo,
We keep it all in the party,
Of friends and family, everybody,
But all I need is a second hand,
To help me get everybody,
Their own,
So everyone can be blessed,
Having what they actually wanted.
It’s quite natural to love,
Once you have been taught,
But to hate it just to tear,
Everything all apart,
So renew your faith,
Count your blessings,
Be free in the unexpected,
Take it all in,
Some days will teach you,
New lessons.
January,
You have seen so many new beginnings,
You are the first all the time,
Unless it’s someone’s birthday,
Months away from this time,
So resolutions will be posted,
People will be on the move,
To plan and expand their year right,
And get on the move…
And with that exact thought, give me the Green Light…
Cue in that so awesome John Legend song… 🙂
John Legend – Green Light ft. André 3000
Hi, friends of my blog and passer-bys, It’s January and and a New Year, it’s time to get fly. I just want to take the time to welcome you to a new month, more great works and things to do things month. How are you planning to spend your January? Let me know, hit me in the comments or Facebook or Instagram…
So this month, ideally I don’t try to do too much, it’s like cramming too much expectations in a single month and with everyone trying to do the same, you are bound to fail or forget. So I will keep it quite simple. For January, this is my projected activities… Let’s see if I am up for the challenge. (If you would like to see my Goals/Bucket List for 2017, <- click here)

–
So these are my goals for the month. It really does sound like a lot plus there is more to them all. But there is 24 hours in each day and time management and absolute focus is needed to achieve goals, so work hard for the things you want.
Well it’s a new year,
Don’t fear,
Time to rejoice and advance,
For last year,
Leave it in your pants,
Throw in the wash,
For that’s the past,
Don’t take the bad things,
If you are moving into a new loft.
Hi, friends of my blog and passer-bys, It’s 2017 and if you are reading this, then you made it. let’s celebrate and welcome in a new year.

I figure if you are going to live, you want to aim high and then see how far the world will take you. You must also know that you won’t achieve anything unless you try.

I figured this is the best fitting song for 2016. John Legend is a beautiful artist and this sound says it all. We all go into a new year saying how it’s going to be the best and etc… But hey things are always going to happen, some planned and unplanned. 🙂

Hi, it’s jixi… Well 2016 is over, and I am here to say Thank You to all my friends and family here. See you in the new year -> 2017.
But before we are off to the races in 2017, here is my 2016 review…
I released 5 projects in one year -> Nemesis, The Burna Effect, Heart Lies, I’m Feeling You and Nemesis 2…
I performed 3 times in one day, in 3 cities (technically) brooklyn, bronx, manhattan…in New York City.
I was featured on a Music App in the App Store…
I took part in Make Music Day, June 21st for the 1st time… 6/21/2016. Make Music 10th Anniversary.
I performed at a few new venues around new york city.
I released a mini book with great reviews for Nemesis.
You can say it was a good & hard year for me creatively, and I believe all things happen for a reason.
Thank you 2016 for your mischievous way, but you truly have me confirmed and secure in my decisions and career goals.
Signing out of 2016, with smile and Happy New Year to everyone.
It seems like it’s all down hill from now,
But I challenge that,
For that’s not a fact,
Unless we play into that,
We got the power to change,
Maybe you can’t see it,
It might take us taking on some pain,
But through my eyes,
I got over 10,000 hours of brain,
To change me,
Be ready for most situation in any category,
Why did we wait so long to do better,
Why did we not consider protection,
Until it was the worse weather?
Well I have always been prepping,
Even when it was unnerving,
I been learning and practicing,
For that is where the action is,
So what is it we are going to do now?
Well for me, like every day,
I will be helping my people and make a difference,
Small or big,
I am in it to win,
Ya dig.

It ain’t funny when I am running for the money,
Watch me pull up,
Hands crossed,
Feet planted,
Exploded off the floor,
I give away the ha ha’s,
You know my style,
Make you laugh until your belly drop,
That’s my way to say hi,
So if you try to play,
I got those memes for days,
Release them in a series,
You won’t want to mess with me,
For weeks or days,
Going through a phase of woes,
So watch out,
I am creeping through window sills and doors,
Mostly through the internet.
*Note: This is a series for bloggers, poets, writers, music artist to contribute as a whole and as a community each week.

My prayers were heard,
Up from the heavens rained my blessings,
Pen and paper,
I run off to a corner and write,
Happily expressing myself,
What a beautiful delight,
I can share my thoughts,
They can be sent and felt,
I was blessed the day,
I was given paper and pen.
