Last Night's Trip

As I reveal my Trunk Full of Dreams I find myself traveling to places all over the entire World... But none could compare to the trip I made last night. Last Night's Trip was a journey from the city that I currently reside back to the city I call home Columbus, GA. This trip was different than the many I've made back home because it marked the first time for me performing at Home since revealing my Trunk Full of Dreams to the world.

One of the biggest parts of being a real man is always being honest and I wouldn't be any of those things if I said that I was not nervous about sharing my art with my home town. C-town as we love to call it... Although it has always been in my opinion been very diverse in comparison to other Southern cities of the same size which most would agree comes by way of the large military base in Columbus that bring soldiers and their families from all parts of the country to live there...It has at times like many areas within our society been consumed with the status quo but I am pleased to say that Last Night's Trip was like me...Different. With all that being said I was nervous about how I would be received since my approach to displaying my artistry is so left field, but like I said in the second verse of the title track from my album I've never turned away from a challenge.

The Ending.......After all I had in me was left on the stage and the drummers last beat, the keyboard players last chord, and the last riffs from the guitar had stop echoing I was greeted by the sound of applause... And although It wasn't the stadium of thousands of people I played to in Miami or Chicago that loved my music...And it wasn't the club packed with hundreds of college kids in Oxford, Ms or Athens, GA that love my music.... It was a packed out crowd in a not so small soulful club called The Hookah Lounge in my Home Town that truly enjoyed what I did! Which I must say was the Greatest of them all.. It is something to be said about being received well by those who you directly represent...

From Last Night's Trip I take with me what will forever be a life long memory.

Twinkle twinkle little star...

Today I woke up thinking... It amazes me how much trust we put into people we don't really know. In this instance I am referring to our society's perception of stars and the power we give them to disappoint us and let us down. I too have fallen victim to this train of thought in past times myself but those days are long gone now. This is not to say that I myself don't have my own role models, people I admire or look up to for inspiration at times. I am merely expressing the importance of keeping the proper perception of these people and after doing so teaching our youth to do the same. Which leads me to the root of this post. A young man told me he was so disappointed by the actions of his role model who happen to be famous that he started acting out in school and his grades started slipping. He said that it was hard to look for positive role models in the urban environments he is living and has lived. So as a result he looked up to stars. I told this young man that stars are in the sky and people like me and you walk the earth. And, I told him it is perfectly okay if chosen properly to have role models and people you look to but remember that they themselves are not perfect but are mere humans. The fact they are human like you and I is what makes them great role models because it means that you have the same amount of ability to accomplish what they have and even more. I stressed that when these heros of ours make mistakes just use that information to be a flashlight in a dark path in your own life so that you don't make the same mistakes. See to me saying just because you are a star doesn't mean you have to be a positive role model is about as crazy as saying yeah I'm a truck driver but I can drink alcohol and drive without any sleep and this kind of behavior will never effect anyone other than me. This also raises a question of parenting or the lack there of... because for me my biggest heros have been my parents. Whether we are stars or not it is time all of us start understanding the responsibility and the power we have to influence those around us by setting a positive example to follow because you never know who's life you may be affecting in the process.

Where Did Shevy Go? Season 2 Episode 1

New Season

I am really looking forward to this

New Season of Where Did Shevy Go?

As many of you already know I will be changing up the format by which I debut my weekly videos but do not fear the videos themselves will still be available for you to go back and watch on youtube. I have received tons of emails from friends and fans just like you telling me how much they enjoyed watching my videos and I just wanted to thank you again for all the love you have shown. This season I will be adding a few things to increase the quality of the videos. The first is I will be adding my Words Of the Week(WOW) at the end of every video. WOW as I like to call it will be a famous and sometimes not so famous quote from someone else other than myself but was an inspiration to me at some point that I would like to pass along. Another feature I will be adding is The Topic of the Week. Just before the end of every video you will see Shevy pop out and ask you for your opinion on a topic. Feel free to comment and give your perspective for it is Greatly appreciated. Also if you have any ideas you would like to see developed in my series please email me at whatup@findshevy.com

Thanks Again & God Bless!

On The Scene

Okay Im officially back on the scene sorta.... what does that whole "Back on the scene" thing mean anyway...? What is quite intriguing is that whoever was the first one to come up with that phrase obviously understood that being in the lime light is similar to doing a movie or play... and the fact that they used the word 'back' means there was a reason for their departure in the first place... & why would you be happy to be back in a fake environment? Hhhhmmm....

Just me rambling a little bit
