Because it's been a while...

I know I know, I always say in my previous posts that I'm gonna update more often, and I totally mean to...but then life happens, and yea, been real busy since my last post. Mostly due to workin' A LOT more at work, but no complaints on that cuz I need the money. I work for a great company, where I get to have fun for the most part and be a part of exciting events and whatnot. Most recently, the iPhone 3GS launch. I got to work the overnite shift prior to the launch, and it was pretty cool. Soooo much detail goes into putting an Apple Store together, especially for a new product. When I look at my store now, I'm like, "wow, I put that together!" or "I helped put that there", etc.

Anyway, aside from work-related business, I've been workin' hard on my music as well. It's been a bit difficult to get as much done as we used to get done, as we've both been workin' a lot to pay off some debts. But I got to spin at The Womb last month, which was pretty cool. I should be doing that again soon, so I'll keep y'all posted. Oh! We're also trying to get booked for this lounge in mid-town, so keep ya posted on that too! We hadn't spun together for like 3 weeks or so, but we threw down a DOPE 3-hr set on Friday at the studio...so we felt great after that, as it seemed we hadn't stop practicing. Let's see what else???

Oh yea, I got to hang with some old friends for a bday party, so that was fun. Hadn't seen or hung with some of those peeps since like high school! Speaking of which, one of those friends is a fellow blogger, and has some pretty interesting info fo yo ass...so yea, check out karla-la-eats.blogspot.com for some great info/advice/opinions on food and whatnot. Gonna add her to my "links" list now too.

Back to the music talk though...one of my groups/projects is about to drop an EP on iTunes, but dont' worry, I'll make a HUGE deal about that when it comes....so you won't miss out! We're also planning to shoot a video for 2 of the tracks on that EP...one will be stop-motion-ish, the other will (hopefully) be animated. These types of videos take more time obviously, so be patient! We have a bunch of projects due for this summer, for all of our musical identities, which if you don't know about, ask me in person sometime, cuz it's hard to explain our ideas and concepts and alter egos via the internet...and we kinda don't plan to talk much about that anyway lol. So on that note, I go by many names, but for this blog, y'all know me as Gianni or Morelli...signin' off...peace and love.

P.S. I'm thinkin' of switching to vlogs from now on, just cuz I'm too lazy to type sometimes.

Morelli's back...though I never really left!

Soooo....yea I know, I always say I'm gonna start blogging more often, but it's always like a month between blog posts. Well, this time around, I think I'll stick to it because there's A LOT coming my way, and I'm really excited about it!

For starters, my job's going great, and it's looking like it may get more greater (I know it's incorrect grammer, duh!). I love my job, even through it's ups and downs, I wouldn't want to work anywhere else honestly.

Ok, moving on...my real and true passion in life is music, if y'all didn't already know that, now you do! I have several projects going on, and it looks like they're finally gonna get somewhere. It's pretty exciting, but a lil bit scary, not gonna lie. Scary because it's like, OH SHIT, WE MIGHT ACTUALLY MAKE IT!, type of scary, ya know? Anyway, like I said, I'll be blogging more often because I'll be (over)promoting all my music stuff for everyone to go check out/download/buy from iTunes. I thank everyone for their support in advance too, and if you've never supported, we're bout to make you feel stupid! Ha.

Besides all that great stuff, there's been some rough times here and there with family and friends and whatnot, but fuck it, I try to stay positive and have positivity around me. If you're negative about something, I'm usually like straight up, get over it and man up or w/e...which tends to get me into beef with peeps, but again, fuck it...it is what it is. I think I'm done for now because I have plenty to do today, on my like 2nd or 3rd Sunday off in months...gotta stay productive, ya know. Peace and love from yours truly.

Back up in thissss...

Ok, so yea, it's been like a month since my last post, I know. I've had a busy couple of weeks back to back since then, so I'll try and catch everything up as best as possible...

A lot of work has been put into my music over the past month or so, both producing and DJing. Most of the effort was in preparation for the Winter Music Conference. We wanted to be prepared in case we had to perform, spin, or hand stuff out. When conference time came, we unfortunately didn't get to do any of that, but it's all good. We got to meet some great contacts and got to see some dope DJ's and artists do their thing. It was my first time going to Ultra as well, and that was quite the experience, I must say. I mean, the artists were badass, but the peeps in the crowd were fuckin' retarded for the most part....drunk and high, twirling around fuckin' fairy glowsticks, and wearing some of the most ridiculous outfits I've ever seen. But alas, this is unfortunately what makes up Ultra's crowd usually. Oh well.

Besides that wackness, the WMC was a great experience in general, and we hope that a lot of good come out of it. I took a bunch of great pics of course, and a few videos as well. The pics and videos are up in my gallery on Mobile Me...if you don't know what that is, look it up! Anyway, here's the link to the gallery. Feel free to view the pics and videos, though I still have to upload about 5 or 6 more videos, because they take forever to upload.

Aside from that, we have some stuff in the works at the moment, so that'll hopefully all work out for once. I'll keep the blog up to date more often now, since I should be having much more to write about. Peace and love.

WTF?!

I got this post from RNDM and thought I should share it because it's something that can affect a lot of peeps.

I know I'm a lil late...

But!...I just wanted to share the latest video from Kanye with y'all, which I might add, is a truly creative piece of work. Anyone that talks shit about him based on a video they might've seen of him flipping out at an award show or an interview, can suck it! The man has a great deal of talent, which you can't deny, but occasionally he got a little carried away. So what? It happens. The dude's learned from his mistakes, and he seems to keep learning as it happens. He's been humble various times in interviews, songs, and even in his latest performances. I was fortunate enough to go to the Glow in the Dark Tour when it came to Miami, and it was amazing! All the acts were great, of course, but Ye's set was really dope and creative. He recently also did a vh1 Storytellers, and that too was pretty awesome. I can totally understand him when he overreacts about his music not winning or stuff like that because I'm a musician, and I know exactly how it feels to not be recognized for your achievements sometimes, especially when you're passionate about them. It happens to the best of us. Anyway, enough of my rant about Kanye, here's the video to "Welcome to Heartbreak" featuring his artist Kid Cudi. Enjoy.

Uh oh, is ya boy's learning some text edit skills???

Well perhaps a lil bit. Peep the new logo! It might not be as cool as other peeps' logos, but whatever, I'm no pro at PhotoShop or anything! I think it's dope for my first shot at it though, so I hope y'all dig it. You can probably expect more where that came from...just gettin' my feet wet! Peace and love.

Updates and whatnot...

So yea, it's been a minute since my last post, but I've been busy and lost in my list of things to do. I was mainly consumed by the cleaning up/rearranging of my home studio, but I did have the chance to get out of the house a bit here and there, thankfully.

Here's a quick recap of the past few weeks...sorta...

I have been frustrated as fuhhh with work stuff, life stuff, family stuff, etc...but trying my best to deal with/accept it all as best as possible. I have had a couple of those epiphanic moments...where I've realized a lot about a lot, if that makes any sense. Anyway, long story short, it made me lose focus for a sec, but I quickly recovered back into focus of everything that is truly important for me to focus on at the moment...and in the future for that matter. It's funny how things can change so quick sometimes, and quite the opposite other times...but alas, that's life, as they say...whoever "they" are.

I've been blessed with getting to know some really cool peeps lately too (shouts to my girls from RNDM and some of my peeps from work), which is cool and refreshing. I haven't partied as much as usual lately, but it's all good. Sometimes I just have to accept that too...like hanging out with a friend and watching Vicky Cristina Barcelona tonite, getting home at a decent time for a change. Great movie by the way...Penelope's Oscar was well-deserved! And God bless Scarlett Johansson! Anyway, I think that was a bit of an ADD/rant moment, but fuck it, it's my blog right? I'm entitled to do that.

Oh, almost forgot!...if anyone's into knowing the latest celeb gossip, you MUST check out a brand new blog by my adopted little sister La Femme Fatale like asap! In her words..."READ IT, FOLLOW IT, LOVE IT!" Look out Perez and TMZ! Homegirl knows her shiet!!! Ok, that's about all I can think of for now, but I will be posting more frequently from now on (hopefully)...and the InfiniGlo blog is up and running, but is post-less at the moment, as I've been busy and haven't gotten around to posting anything yet. Oh!...the Winter Music Conference is right around the corner as well, and it will hopefully bring us some great opportunities. Stay tuned here and to my mobile blog, and of course, support the cause(s) via those links posted under the links section! Peace and Love.
