FAILURE IS NOT A OPTION

It's been a crazy minute since I updated my 'personal' blog so I decided "Oh what the heck" and go back to my original drawing board. Since the start of this blog in May of 2009 my postings have been a window into my upside down and crazy life. I often take the time to share my goals, accomplishments, and even failures. I was speaking with one of my best friends the other night about one day writing a book on the achieving my own success.I've always considered myself a underdog but through diversity I always seem to prevail. I thought about writing in a journal to express the situations that were going on in my life both good and bad. I nixed that idea and decided I would use these experiences (The Blanco Experiences) to tell the tale of who I was. It would serve as my journal and foundation.

So this afternoon during the moderation of my other blog (http://bizzyblanco.com) *shameless plug I know* I decided instead of writing in a notebook and shun out the entire world. I'd share my experiences with you, as you follow me on my journey. Hopefully something I may say or write about can be influential to what you may be going through or hoping to achieve.

I'm gonna do my damnest to blog every few days...So stay tuned because like I've always said "The Best Is Yet To Come"

I refuse to allow Failure to win this battle

Graduation and Beyond.... Creating My Brand!

It's been a long 2 years. Setbacks, breakup, lost ties, and everything else imaginable but God has held me down through it all. So what exactly is the next big thing for B?


Well for starters I will graduate tomorrow obtaining a degree in Surgical Technology. It may not sound like much right now but one can't go wrong in the healthcare field. If I'm gonna fall back on anything I'd want to have cushion on something that will keep me afloat in case another "recession" wants to rear it's ugly head.


I have no limitations about relocating out of my element as I'm ready to embark on what the rest of the world has to offer me.


Looking forward I have a dream that I have envisioned for myself since way back. To create something that I can call my own, network, and hopefully prosper with. I'm in the process creating an entertainment website. It's still being developed but so far I'm happy with the way it's shaping up. I want to stand apart from all the rest and bring stories that are both uplifting and exciting and be the voice of the underdog.

Stay Tuned! I'm still keeping this blog to keep people updated on my life and to vent occasionally.

Miscommunication killz a Relationship(s)

1. Lack of clear or adequate communication.
2. An unclear or inadequate communication.

Miscommunication amongst people happens everyday. It's not intentional (most of the time) but it does happen and we send mix signals to the other party and assumptions occur when someone doesn't respond the way we would like. 


I've had it happen to me and I'm sure others have as well. It's not nice and often leads to the ending of friendships, relationships, and worse family ties. Communication is a very successful instrument in securing the longevity of many of our relationships but something we neglect because we think they will "always" be around.


There is nothing worse then caring for someone deeply and they turn the other cheek when you want to just say hello or what's going on? The person may have deeper issues but because they don't communicate effectively you assume otherwise and things deteriorate.


I'm a people person point blank and my lines are always open.. I just wish others would be so considerate when dealing with others.

Two Of The Greatest Voices Out....

Much praise goes out to Adele and Marsha Ambrosius for having the #1 and #2 albums in the country. I rarely buy albums so when I heard early recordings from both artist I instantly knew their work was gonna be amazing. Hopefully before this year is out I will be blessed to see these artist in concert... If you haven't already go check out

Adele "21" and Marsha "Late Nights and Early Mornings"

My heart cries out to Japan....

If it's one thing about me I'm quickly fascinated with worldly events. Something about being apart or witnessing history intrigues me. I can't tell you heart wrenching it was to wake up and watch the final moments of the movie "2012" and moments later see tweets about a major earthquake striking Japan. Instead of going back to bed I instantly became glued to CNN where I watch a Tsunami take out an entire countryside of farm land. What seemed like something out of a disaster movie was indeed unraveling before my very eyes. 


Words can't describe what is going on in Japan and my heart goes out to anybody who may be affected by the trying events. I have a cousin who is safe in the south pacific as tsunami warnings were downgraded in the Phillipians.. While we go about out everyday life we must think that sooner or later something like this could happen like this in the United States. I saddens me how people go about their daily lives with no remorse for what's going on in the world. I pray people wake up and realize that what's going on in the world isn't a movie.

The Greatest Rapper Died On March 9th....

R.I.P To my favorite rapper dead or alive.... Ready To Die was the first hip hop album I purchased. My mom didn't like it but hey his music mesmerized me. He was taken to soon because he would have definitely been  one of the major players in music trumping Jay-Z and even Diddy in my opinion. I know he's looking down and proud of his children. His music will live on and I'm thankful to still be a fan. Nobody has came close to touching B.I.G.




My Favorite Top 5 B.I.G tracks off all time...
1. One More Chance
2. Warning
3. Skies The Limit
4. Juicy
5. Get Money

The Queen Of Paypal????

I'm not even gonna hate on Kim's hustle. Nowadays artist are skipping record labels all together and releasing music directly from their websites. Why not treat the people that love you the most (the fans) 2 goodies and treats until the actual album is complete. Kim is no different right? So why all the hate.... Well here is my issue.


When you release a mixtape on a confirmed date either it's gonna drop on that actual date delivered by mail or better yet being able to download from Itunes.  None of that actually happened. 


Talk about a sour Valentine's Day.... There's no track listing and you actually have to wait until she signs the damn things to receive it. Pure genius or misleading?




While Kim will go down in rap history as one of the most influential and talked about female MC's off all time the way she's going about it is quite hilarious. Overall Kim has been a leading trending topic on the popular social network twitter and released the highly anticipated video for "Black Friday" the straight out the gate single off of the mixtape.  But It remains to be seen whether or not Kim will regain the star status she once had and hopefully allowing hip hop to once again embrace the Queen Bee. 


One thing is for certain female rap is once again alive and kicking with Nicki on the brink of releasing "Did It On Em" her 5th single, Foxy Brown throwing herself into the mix once again by news of her  prepping "Black Roses", and Kim's mixtape "Black Friday" the claws are out and femcees are once again dominating the musical hip hop scene.

Life Update: Blog 1

I hate when I haven't blog in a while. Despite the lack of comments there are lots of people who enjoy reading my blog and the things that I have to say. I'm promising to be better with it.


Career Update: I just got a job in hospital as a Patient Transport which is entry level but a great step in the door as I'm networking and making lots of great connections. So I'm not even concerned with my current placement. God has it all under control.


Test and Trails - I'm in the processing of studying extra hard to take my Surgical Tech Certifications. With much delays and push-backs I'll be officially taking and passing it on April 8th. God Willing!


Aside from my career goals I'm in the processing of developing a website that I hope will appeal to the masses and deliver content that is tasteful, unbiased, and informative. Stay Tuned.


Music is the remedy to my soul, God 1st among everything, and I'm living life to the fullest. 




Right now I'm vibing to the sounds of "Far Away" ---Marsha Ambrosius.
