Coffee and Commitment

Whenever I don’t wake up between 4am and 5am, I start feeling the day suddenly crashing in on me lol. Maybe I’m exaggerating but today it kinda makes sense in my head. Those 2-3 extra hours before chaos of the world starts are so crucial for me. Especially on a day like Wednesday. My Wednesdays have been my most occupied and precious days for the past 150+ weeks. For the past 3 years now, that’s the day me an a few of my good friends have produced our weekly Open Mic Night “Vibes In The City.” 152 weeks. 150 Open Mic Nights produced. 2 missed due to record breaking snow storms earlier this year. For the past few months I’ve been very consistent with starting my days between 4 an 5am. It gives me time to work on my personal projects an ease into the day before the rest of the world awakens. But last night I wanted to go support Another Open Mic Night as well as a good friend of mine who I’ve been talking about collaborating with on some projects. I’m glad that I went and when you’re out enjoying the great talent of your local scene and moving forward on potential business ventures, time can fly. And that’s how you end up staying out late, then going home to have a night cap with the Mrs. only to fall asleep at 3am. Yes a night well worth it an before any other day than Wednesday would’ve been perfect. Opening my eyes at 4am this morning would’ve been nice but not off 1 hour of sleep. Lol 😴. So now fast forward to 7pm. 2 hours before we open our doors to our Open Mic Night and I’m feeling like the day has came and went. Pen in my hand. Notebook on the table. Nice cup of coffee because…just because I made a commitment to myself to at least start my blogging days off with 30 Days of Consecutive posts. An I didn’t wanna take the easy route and just post a few pictures and cross off a extra day. 2 hours late to start the day but now I feel like I might’ve just got back control of the day. Commitment grabbed the wheel for me. Or maybe it was the coffee. I don’t know but I had little to do with it myself. 🤷🏽‍♂️
