I'm sorry I haven't been myself lately. Y'see this thing called "work" has been pre-occupying my mind, body, and soul, and it's not right. I don't like who I've become, and I don't like who I am because of what I've chosen to do. Working 45 hour weeks is not who I am, not what I represent as a person, but it is merely a means to an end. This in itself is a contradiction as I've always preached to cherish each living moment. As much as this will give me an opportunity to move on to the next level in my career and in life, it is still no excuse that we have not been able to spend time together like we used to. Literally, I come home bagged, drained, exhausted mentally and physically. This is not right, no. I promise, we will fix this. We will change this. We will ammend what once was all good. Yes, we can.
Sincerely,
Homee.
Yikes! I just heard the news today: Vibe Magazine is shutting down! Wow, after 16 years of reporting the world of hip hop, the run is finally over! I still have my Feb 01 issue, and all the others that faithfully follwed until March 08. They blamed their troubles on advertising woes, but there were certainly bigger issues at stake. Questionable content, falling page counts in the face of a recession, and the inevitable surrender to the internet. No word yet on when the last issue will hit stands, but I'll probly cop two just in case! Good luck Danyel Smith, and the staff at Vibe, and thank you for a great generational run.
