Da Bassment Tape (Vol. 1)

So....Its been a Long time...We shouldn't have left you...without a dope beat to step to...so yeah man...I'm Back. haha. feels good to write on this again. enough time has passed to know that i need to write on this. haven't been focusing that much. man. My birthday is only 3 days away. but when this post goes up, man...it'll be years old. haha. but uh...it has been a really long time. so much has changed. and I've changed. (in some ways...yes I Have.) but sometimes it take years to draw inspiration to use what you have to get and take ways of preparation to realize you have done something both right and wrong. but so far in these past few months, I've discovered a treasure trove of Music relating to some of things in my life. i know some of y'all Bassment Fiends would rather hear the Music that I've done, or the people I've worked with, but...I Just wanted to share it with y'all...My friends....some of them have been there for me more times than i can count. its kinda good to know there are some friends that won't disappear when you need them the most. like the Lord almighty. he has provided for me many times over, i...i can't express how much in love i am with him and his graces. he's kept me safe, fed, strong, strong-willed and emotionally ready to take on the world. so to the Almighty and overseer of my soul and decisions of me and my family; I Thank you, God. for without you, NOTHING (and i Mean NOTHING) is possible without you. with all of the people that have talked and said things about me behind my back, and some people that have nothing better to do than just that, i Give you blessings and I Pray that you will not be in that rut forever. but better things await those who truly believe in the Lord's Miracles. so...man. 19 years ago, my mother Evenus Thompson gave birth to a Son who she knew would fulfill his destiny by trusting in the Lord's graces. I Appreciate my mother more than my Life itself. She gave birth to me. she never had to, but the Lord guaranteed that she would bring me into this world. I Love my father, for even though through everything we have been through; he stood ground and took care of his family in every way he could, from working 2 jobs (both with low income pay $6.25 an hour and a security job same average; just to wake up and do it all over again.) Vernon Thompson. My Daddy, my protector in God's form of Man, and my caretaker all of my 17 years of life. granted my mother and him had a falling out, but that gave my dad the opportunity to step his game up and become more of a Man than i could ever be. yes I'm a Man, but I Will never be in the same places my father has been. i wish i could, just to know how it makes men stronger to keep pain at a distance and focus on your life and what's at hand now. also, my best friend...Jeremy J. Turgeon. (1st Grade buddies... If it was really that simple, we could understand how long it would take to say Good bye.) I Know you're only going to college in Boston, but being friends this long and seeing you go, makes me sad. love you man, i know you do the same for me too...but its just hard to say "Good bye" so how about "See Ya Later"...still don't know. (sighs.) from singing in the choir in Pottenger, and becoming renowned Musicians today and me becoming A Music Producer and songwriter...hard to believe we'd end up like this..haha. all of the good times to know that we have more to share and expect from our times as kids up until now as Men. so I Thank my best friend of 14 years for always giving me advice and helping me when i most needed it. I Love you too, Momma-T. (Mrs. Turgeon aka My 2nd Mom. you have been there a long time too, from giving moral support to me and Jeremy when our days were bad, to giving us comical days when we needed  it, Badly. haha, you've been friends with my Mom for a Longgggggggg time and you know my Dad very well. that just goes to show that everyone you've known since 1st grade has made a major change and excruciating effect in my life.  (my other boy is here too. Eric Arsenault. man...don't think i forgot about you, brotha!) haha, from the days of watching "Drumline" for days on end and practicing every cadence in the film, to gaining Popularity from performing in the Lunchroom and the Gym. haha the Ladies Loved us and the Fellas, wanted to be us...what good times. Love you too, man. Bros for life. (Thanks to Angelo Ortiz. my big brother.) God Knows I'VE Always wanted a brother, but not like this clown. we started out company together back when my cousin Dennis was the "Strawberry R. Kelly" haha love y'all both. haha well this is all i feel like writing for right now...but there will be more Blogs coming this 2013 year. and beyond too. if there is anyone i have forgot, please comment, or be sure to add yourself so I Don't forget next i begin to write another blog entered in my life journey.

Peace and Love.
