Tonic 11

I spend so much time interviewing, filming, and writing about other artists, that I’ve severely neglected documenting what’s going on in my own life.  I really don’t stop to think that much, or reflect on what I’m doing, and I feel a severe sensory overload.  Not to mention, when a friend asks me ‘what’s going on’ everything is so jumbled that I usually just answer, “not much,” and don’t even know where to start…Well, Forest Gump once just felt like running, and right now, I just feel like blogging…Not about a new Lil’ Wayne song, a Barack Obama speech, Chicago Hip Hop, none of that s**t…this is my blog, all about me and what I feel like writing about inside the Treasurechest…

RH First Look: Y-Love

Y-Love
