| | Every so often I take a look at my site in disbelief. I read one of my journals from 4 months ago and can’t believe it’s been that long since I wrote in it. My first idea was to get an easier blog site to update my journal in cause Xanga is not that compatible with my AOL but then I thought I’ve been using it for so long why switch then I looked at it again and realized how I don’t write in it because of that minor hassle. It’s been four months and so much has happened. Then that begins to bother me to the point I think how long it would take to write a journal entry updating you all on what’s been going on and decide against it. But, I need to step up to the plate and handle my business I’ve been supported by so many and sometimes all I’m asked to do is keep up to date on my journal entries so form this day forward I’m going to write at least 3 journals a week. Short or long whatever is going on will be written out. And with that will be my 2-week long present to you as well. Beginning August 25th I will be posting Music Is The New Cotton for free download. So make sure if you haven’t purchased it you get it now while it’s free. That’s right free. You can never really beat free. And at the conclusion of the 2 weeks I will be putting my new CD ‘The Balance’ up for pre-orders. Yes, a new CD I know it’s a little overdue but it’s almost completed and I must say I’m kind of excited about it. The CD will be released October 3rd on my wife’s birthday and pre-orders will be shipped September 25th. Which reminds me…I’m hosting a Performance Poetry and Writing Workshop beginning September 13th for 4 weeks. It will be held at Da’ Poetry Lounge in Hollywood. If you’re interested in taking it or have any questions send me an email shihan@shihansback.com and I’ll get you all the info you need. I’ve been putting off the workshop for the longest to head out of town but with my wife pregnant and me trying to cut back on going out of town the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. Also, over the next few weeks I’ll be releasing a few dates for upcoming shows. So stay tuned also expect an email form me with updates on everything going on and everything that’s gone on over the past 4 months. Damn, just typing 4 months make sit sound so bad but don’t worry I’m back with a vengeance. It’s looking like I’m going to do a NY/NJ run in October and most likely heading out to Hawaii and don’t forget my return trip to New Zealand in December and the final show of the trip is also looking to be the date I cut my hair. I have a song that is on my new CD coming soon that I’ll perform as my hair gets cut on stage. It also will mean the official retirement of Love Like a piece I will no longer recite. I figure I’m getting older and the poem isn’t getting any younger. My mind set is different than it was and my love has grown so I want my work to reflect the emotion behind it. Stay tuned I’ll be back in a bit to let you know how Nationals went. Yes, I went even though I couldn’t compete. And yes, the trip made me get the bug so it looks like I’m going out for the team in 2007 for the Last Hurrah Slam Tour. Be safe and I’m glad I got to say hey everybody. Let’s talk more.
