Hospital, Album, Update

I'm writing to you from my hospital bed -- thank God for wi-fi. LOL... I figured I'd write this blog to explain to everyone exactly why I'm here -- ONE TIME, y'all... so please read! heheheh...

As you know, I went to Las Vegas to shoot the video for Dan Diamond's "I Wanna Go Down." I play one of the main characters in the video -- thank God I had to lip synch -- so naturally, I was in almost every scene. The day I arrived to Vegas, I wasn't feeling TOO well -- I think I caught that cold that everyone around here was getting, Oh well... Just a little rest and I would've been alright. OH NOOOOO...

As soon as I arrived, I was taken directly to the first scene -- this scene was the HARDEST scene of the video; not to mention it was shot in the middle of an abandoned mine shaft/cave in the mountains, Talk about cold, dusty, and long hours!!! That was pure torture on my body, and I'm sure that's what sent me over the edge. The next days were a bit better, but I was still sick. I couldn't talk at all -- absolutely NO voice. No energy, no appetite, nothing, All I wanted to do was sleep -- which on my ONE day off, was exactly what I did. (I laugh today because of the noticable weight loss, but shit... at THIS expense???)

Finally, I chose to extend my trip -- I couldn't get on the plane in my current condition, so I went to the hospital there in Vegas. They diagnosed me with Acute Bronchitis. After a few breathing treatments, an inhaler, some steroids and some "wonderful" cough medicine, I was actually starting to feel better. After I arrived home finally, I discovered that I was having (what I thought was) an allergic reaction to the steroids -- I just kept getting worse! My entire airway was swollen, I couldn't eat, and I had sores on my tongue -- OUCH! So you could imagine it was hard to talk or swallow... I tried to hang in there, y'all... I did. But shit, I don't like pain. This was too much.



My friend Hank (Hanky Panky, heheheh) talked me into going to the emergency room. I'm SO GLAD I DID!!! I've been here since yesterday, but they noticed the infection and swelling, they put me in stronger medicines, and outside of the tongue sores (which are going away), I'm actually feeling a bit better! There's still more work to be done, so I'll be here until tomorrow -- hopefully I won't have to stay longer than that.



Again, Thank God for wi-fi!!! Email me, etc. I can't wait to get back out into the world...

OH... And I've also decided to delay the release of my album "Bittersoulfulsweet" until DEMF weekend. I want to make sure I have enough time to promote this record properly, and right now, it's too much for me to handle -- with my health and all... Remember, I run my OWN label, so a lot of this work, I'm doing on my own! So please bare with me... I LOVE my fans, and I KNOW y'all will love the album. I just wanna make sure it's marketed properly. After all, this IS my day job. It's something I MUST invest 1000% of my effort into.



Alright, stay in touch y'all... MUAH!

I Finally Did It With A Woman...

MUAH!

I Wanna Go Down?

Alright, so I did it. "Down" has finally been resurrected -- TWICE... First, and probably the most hilarious of the two -- the upcoming single and video by Dan Diamond feat. Nicole... "I Wanna Go Down." While I'll be singing the chorus, Dan and Nicole turned this tune into a duet. An attempt at new words and verses; it's perfect for the "OTHER" crowd. The mainstream "Miami DANCE" club crowd.

There will be a video -- yes, you heard me.. A music video. In fact, I'm flying to Las Vegas in Mid-March to shoot my scenes... I'll be playing a few characters in the video -- thanks to Dan, who really wanted to pay tribute to me. Gotta love him!

At the same time, I recreated my OWN version. Yes, it's featured on the album "Bittersoulfulsweet." And no, I don't think our versions will "clash..." In fact, I think that one will totally enhance the other. This is gonna be one GREAT year for me -- it's already proven to be great so far.

Thank you all for your continued support and blessings... I promise not to let you down. And NO, that's not political bullshit. It's just me being real...

MUAH!

Discovery

I was searching through my music VAULT... and stumbled across this song. I recorded it back in 1997. It was written for my daddy, on the 10-year anniversary of his death.

Being curious, I listened to it. I smiled at how poetic I was, in describing my feelings. I LAUGHED because the music is so influenced by "WENDY & LISA." (I love them...)

Anyway, the song is called "Still Winds Blow." I'm a bit shy, because I never released this song. This was a musical "diary entry," if you will; for nobody's ears except mine, my Dad's and God. But I still thought I would share it with you.

The lyrics are below. Journey with me, back into time... (and I like the little cassette tape player as well... how nostalgic.)

With love, AC...

"Still Winds Blow"
(written and performed by Aaron-Carl)


Somewhere inside the spirit garden,
is the soul of a man whose fire continues to rage
inside of me...
For without me, he went on to become an angel.

Still lies the wind that blew life into me.
Never to wake from the blistering peace...

For he sleeps where still winds blow...
Daddy sleeps where still winds blow...

Somewhere inside the spirit garden,
is the soul of a man...
Forever calm is the storm that once used to be.
Without me, he went on to become an angel.

As I lay down to watch him sleep,
I'm torn with disbelief...

For he sleeps where still winds blow...
Daddy sleeps where still winds blow...

As I lay down to watch him sleep,
I'm torn with disbelief...
For he sleeps where still winds blow.
Daddy sleeps where still wind blow...
Do I go where still winds blow?

Experience, Part 2
