Hello everyone! Today's beat is a banger! Get it rolling by clicking the green link above, and then come on back here to read about the inspiration for today's excellent entry into my ongoing beat series!!

Is that head bopping yet?. . . GOOD! Let's continue!

So, I've been detoxing from a few of my accumulated habits for the past few weeks, and apparently insomnia is a huge part of my detox experience. This morning at 4:30am I woke up and instantly knew that sleep was no longer an option, so I kicked my day off with a youtube extravaganza, grabbed some fresh coffee with my mom [she's always up at around 5am] and came back to my room with potent morning energy. The release and surrender to getting on with my day brought out a piece of me that I didn't know existed!! This beat contains all the charged emotion I was feeling rather aptly, so this evening, I made a quick arrangement of the beat, mixed it down while doing a vigorous dance and now this little bundle of joy is all yours for the experiencing!! Absolutely PERFECT banger for a Saturday night if I do say so myself!

Get Hyped and Stay There People!

Alright, now, I had an idea today that has been an on-going portion of the subsurface of my mind, and I think it's time to let you all hear it. My beats are getting fatter and fatter by the hour [which in this context is a GREAT thing! haha], and I think its time to kick things into the next gear. However, I DO NOT want to make this decision alone because I'm not sure how many of you actually listen to my music. The decision I'm trying to make is whether or not to begin posting my music exclusively to my Patreon [still in the works]. Would you be sad if I no longer posted music here? It is important to me that you are satisfied with this decision because I make these beats everyday for you, and I would feel horrible if you no longer had the opportunity should you wish to continue following me.

W H E W [glad I've gotten that off my chest]

If this transition does begin to take shape, I want you to know you can still follow my posts to the Soundcloud account I manage. The idea I had today, which has emboldened this feeling to take action, is that I have a new series in mind, and like my music, this series will be a personal one. I am trying to work up the courage to challenge myself to a Whole 93 Challenge, where I use my Steemit blog as a homebase by letting you into my mind and heart while I undergo a major, positive, physical change. I will post my workout regiment. I will post my eating habits. I will probably even document my meals, as well as my emotional states. I desire to be transparent and let these false identities be shattered by the reality of who I am--from the sublime heights of personal victory to the low valleys of enduring my decision.

So you've heard about Whole 30, but "What's Whole 93?!"

Obviously, the number is how many days you are committing to this diet/cleanse, but that doesn't answer why 93.. haha. Well, it's subject to change until I commit to it, but my original thinking is that 93 days is 3 months. For the most part, I stuck to the "Whole 30" diet in January of this year and lost about 15 pounds, which was rather significant for me. Since then, I've gained back about 5-6 pounds, and with my height, etc., I need to lose about 45lbs to achieve the sweet spot for my body type. If I lost 15lbs from one month, I know I can lose the full 45lbs within three months. Plus, I'll have an absolutely incredible relationship with food once again after 3 months of consistent habit-building practice.

During the 93 days I am on the challenge, and most likely from that time forward, I will no longer be posting music to this blog, unless you lovely people demand it. Either way, I will certainly be keeping you in the loop about the music I'm creating. Who knows?! Perhaps I can find some way to holistically integrate my habits [music and food] and make this blog about the life and habits of your boy! haha.

What do you want from this blog as I am heading into a time of expansion and rapid growth?
