Walking On The Moon

About 2 months ago, I met Pharrell Williams. The Pharrell, of N*E*R*D fame. Great guy. Personality for days... And he somehow managed to light a match underneath a dream I'd given up on long before. He gave me the phone number of one of the biggest directors in hip-hop, Hype Williams... and proceeded to call him up and have a five-minute rant about how incredible he thought I was. I stood there shocked. You know when you're afraid to blink or breathe or even celebrate for fear that someone might, at any moment, snatch the moment out from beneath your feet? Yeah, it was like that.

Of course, I didn't tell anyone. With the exception of the people who were in the room to witness Pharrell jumping up and down like a kid in a candy store, no one knew what I was hoping would come next. I kept it close to my heart. I didn't tell anyone that Hype called me a few days later. I didn't tell anyone that he said he'd like to work with me. I didn't tell anyone that he'd asked me to come by and meet him once I got to LA (on a previously planned trip to see Val). I didn't want anyone's negative energy to touch what looked like the beginnings of my dream falling into place...

Long story short... Hype asked me to "come by" the studio... I thought I was simply shaking the man's hand. He hands me a Hervé Léger bathing suit and puts me in hair and makeup...

I'm still holding my breath. There's so much more that I'm hoping to accomplish, beyond a hip-hop video. I know I'll have to hustle, and jump through hoops, and take chances. But hey, I figure it's not too shabby to start my new career this way. What do you think?

If you haven't already, press play & walk on the moon with me, Kanye West, and The Dream! Fast forward to the 2:54 min mark to see yours truly in action.

BIG shoutout to my homie Sean Brown for catching this on 106&Park yesterday! LOL
