Lets Talk Fashion: The Devil Wears Prada III

Now, upon completion of the film, I realize that having a demanding career does not require that you loose everything that matters. Balance is everything. With success comes great rewards, so pay someone to take a load off of you. Another lesson is to always have your bases covered in business.

Lets Talk Fashion: The Devil Wears Prada II

And don't let your friends determine your altitude. No matter how long they've known you, they won't know you like you know yourself. Go after your dreams, even if you no longer dream in similar circles. You owe no one anything. www.sincerelyhim.com

Lets Talk Fashion: The Devil Wears Prada

OK, so I never really watched The Devil Wears Prada all the way through, but since I've been in school, I've been more intrigued to learn everything I can about the business so that I can be an asset to the Austin Family Brands. I'm actually 30 minutes from finishing the full movie and couldn't wait to blog. I have so many mixed emotions. The demanding pulse of Miranda's work place is so inspiring, Andy's position I believe we all can relate and the boyfriend at home waiting on someone that seems to be advancing in life without them. He's sad but supportive. Many of us have played his roll as well.

Choosing a demanding career, I believe, requires an understanding spirit from within. Andy's dedication to herself was an important aspect of the film. Being dedicated to you will benefit others around you. Life will present a demanding pace in some careers. I don't know about you, but I live for it. To run a company like "Runway" is the Ultimate goal. A place were there is little room for error. God gave us the ability to be like Him. He is the ultimate executor and I'm ready to go for it all.

I've recently been inspired to start a Men's fashion blog. www.sincerelyhim.com For the Male Perspective

Music News

Having fun passionately pursuing the art of creativity. I've been taking trips to the studio in Burbank with Knotch. I love when people stay on the grind. Reminds me of how much harder you have to work to stay competitive. The key is to be in the spot where its moving. It being The "Creative Buzz". Writers and producers fall through at all times of the night so it makes it a really cool creative environment. Plus networking is important. Follow me on twitter for updates. @caustinceo.

Michael Jackson!!!!!!!

Okay, I guess you can say that Mike has finally died down in the Media, sort of. I'm really not feeling the movie thing. The taping of over 100 hrs of rehearsals confirms to me that all this was a plan to kill him. You notice how they haven't mentioned anything else about the "Doctor". Last thing was that his death was confirmed as a homicide!!! So what next? a movie? you've gotta be kidding me. We aren't dumb. As a die hard fan I want justice to be served although far fetched, something needs to be done to someone.

America The "Beautiful"?

You know I find it quite entertaining how America can send FEMA to aid other countries when natural disasters, but Hurricane Katrina was neglected, The Homeless in America are neglected, The Urban Neighborhoods continue to be neglected. Get the picture folks. In the words of MJJ, "All I really want to say is they don't really care about US".

Redefining Gospel

I'm thinking about starting a new blog that showcases artist who actually have something unique to contribute to the business. I'm tired hearing the same crap. oops did I saw crap. Oh well. God the creator wasn't cliche when he made us, so people need to create something different.

My Heart Is Sad

Okay folks whenever we loose music legends I feel an extreme connection and sorrow for some reason. One of the greatest vocal arrangers died last year and I didn't even know. Mr. Eugene Thomas Puerling. My heart was captivated by his arrangement back in 2003 when I was Introduced to The Singers Unlimited. A group he formed in 1971. They are really dope so I have to dedicated this post to them. R.I.P. Gene Puerling.

Gene Puerling arrangement of "Killing Me Softly"


Gene Puerling arrangement of "Michelle"


OMG!!!! Gene Puerling arrangement of "When I Fall in Love"

My thoughts on Today

After being the music director at Praize NightI still come home a little unfulfilled. It want to aleays be available to help my friends but I felt so very disconnected from the whole night. I know exactly where Gods wants me to be. I guess someday I'll listen to God, I'm sure it will be fulfilling...

In The Studio

Just thought I'd share my studio adventures for the next few months 2am right now just finish 2 records, I need Jairus and Ish to throw some bridge chords on the tracks and they'll be done. I've been thoroughly prepared for opportunity thanks to Kc Knight's tracks. We've got an incredible vibe on this music. Look for a newly formed production team coming soon. Uh...what else?
Bout to work on one more Rock-pop record before I go lay it down.

Faith Without Works is Dead

I have been guilty of not putting feet to my faith. This week will be different. Pastor Kevin Stafford has been preaching on Faith. This is a message we should never get tired of. Its like I know faith without works is dead so what right do I have to sit around and say I have faith when its really action. Lets get to the action of faith y'all. God Loves and I'm going to sleep.....
