Pieces of Me

2006-03-29T22:50:00.000-08:00

Wassup yall,

Days like this I just feel like hiding myself within the comfort of my warm bed, heat up a Swanson macaroni and cheese tv dinner (maybe 2 hehe), watch some Brown Sugar, and listen to some Coldplay (u know that type of zone out music you play where you lay down, close your eyes and visually go over your life personally and spiritually as if your watching a movie of yourself), and just TOTALLY mute the world around me for a minute to just put myself back together, u know? I see you shaking your head saying no I don't lol!!! I guess its just the Avid Music Lover/Mitnaul/Christian/Everchanging pieces of me?

Welp since I can't do that in my cluttered dorm room lol I guess I'll just use this blog as my therapy lol

Actually, right know I'm listening to a song called Hard Times by Dr. Buzzard and the Original Savannah Band and I feel better already. My mom put me on to them and everyone out there in "Internet-Land" should definetly check them out, you may recognize their most notable song Cher Cher La Fam redone by Ghostaface Killah and U-God. but anyways i literally LOVE THIS SONG, personally one of my top 3 fav songs ever!! Here's the lyrics

Close your eyes
And rest your tired body next to mine
Nobody knows, more than you
These Hard Times that we're living through

(Chorus)
But baby we'll go on and on
Lord knows we've got each other
So kiss me HARD
And Luv
HARD TIMES we can get over

Now son, hate must rise
With her bag of tricks, and cheats, and dirty lies
Nobody smiles and nobody cries
And NO ONE seems to care if they LIVE or DIE

(Chorus)
But baby we'll go on and on
Lord knows we've got each other
So come on kiss me HARD
And Luv
HARD TIMES we can get over

Ballads and Boxes
Bullets and Guns
And "they" always have rights and wrongs
But baby just you come to me
When you want to get over

Isn't that beauwtiful lol I really hope one day I can produce and write a song that POWERFUL. Because songs like that LIVE FOREVER!! Welp Someday..

Hasta Luego mi familia,

ATREYU!!!!

2006-03-21T21:31:00.000-08:00

Today is beautiful in my neighborhood!! lol Sorry for the graphic image but today I ambitiouslly conquered a dragon in my life by the name of PRO TOOLS!!!! I know your saying what is that Isaiah? Well, in the "Music Industry" Pro Tools is the standard sound editing program to create top notch Musica. It is very pertinent for any producer to know how to use this piece of machinery. First off thies program is very very EXPENSIVE but most importantly technically COMPLEX but no need to fret because your hometown hero Isaiah has accomplished such a feet lol. One reason why I'm so glad I learned how to use Pro Tools is because i lied on my NYC Internship resume and said I knew how to use it( because I expected my Music Tech class to teach me how) but apparetly I had to learn on my own and like the genious Isaiah is I spent five hours slaying this gianormous dragon and I came out VICTORIOUS!!! woo hoo go me go me (doin laffy taffy dance) lol!! Wow, Isaiah Mitnaul is officially a PRODUCER (whew) So before I walk off into the sunset to visit my princess I'll leave yall with my quote for the day.

Grace is everywhere. [George Bernanos]

lol so true

Hasta Luego mi familia til next time and remember "Just as I am sharring all of my adventures, others are sharring yours" OUR Life is a Neverending Story, PACE!!

I GOT A GOLDEN TICKET!!!

2006-02-27T20:59:00.000-08:00

Hey fam,

Today has been THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE next to getting SAVED!!! lol I know your saying to yourself slow down Isaiah "what happened"? Well it all started this morning, when I thought to myself "Man, I havent heard from my internship program(www.newyorkartsprogram.org/)about whether I was first accepted and second who I got my interviews with? Well after my 11:00 spanish class I sent out an iquiring email to them and kept on moving. Prior to today I was expecting my SSFA check (my slave job lol) today so after my Orchestra class I went to check my mailbox for my check AND....TO MY SUPRISE there appeared a thick packet from GLCA. And everyone knows what it means when u get the thick packet. Well i rushed back to my room, ripped it open, and the cover letter read "Dear Isaiah we are happy to enroll you into the NYC GLCA program and we are willing to schedule your interviews with EACH of your prospective sponsors"!!!!!!

Mannnnn I dropped the letter, did my laffy taffy dance, and prayed for 2 minutes thanking GOD for this "life changing opportunity". Of course I called all of my fam to tell them the good news and I've been on CLOUD 10 eva since ; )

Just looking at the map of the residential housing area I know live across from Time Square, Rocafeller Center, and The Fashion District aka Macy's!!! So if u see me on 106 or TRL u can see me represent for K-Town lol How bananas is DAT!! Im neva going back home know lol

But personally I'm so thankful that God allowed me to experience the MANY disappointments and failures I went through because this moment makes LIFE and my TESTIMONY that much betta!!! Chucch

So I justed wanted to "talk my ish again" like Kanye cus WE GOING MAJOR FAMILY!!!

Hasta Luego till next time mi familia!! PACE

FASHION FORWARD

2006-02-06T20:41:00.000-08:00

Hey fam.

One of the reasons I luv NYC is my favorite clothing line.. OF COURSE LRG!!!! So throw away your Akademiks, Southpole, Sean John, or whatever clothes you think is "hot" cus LRG is reigning as the FASHION Monarch for Hip Hop. So I urge you Get Familiar and check out the website and photoshoots. www.l-r-g.com

and O the second reason I luv LRG is because if your a famous producer "wink wink" they'll make you a spokesmodel for LRG in every fashion and hip hop major magazine andu will also recive a LIFETIME supply of LRG for FREE!!!! Now how sweet is that!!

"If yall fresh to deaf then I'm deceased"
Kanye West

So if you dont know again, please GET FAMILIAR and GET some LRG in your life lol "its healthy for you"

Hasta Luego till next time fam, PACE!!!

I FEEL GOOD!!!!

2006-01-23T21:55:00.000-08:00

Hey fam,

As u can tell I found my creative inspiration again!!!!! What was your secret u ask? Welp, I found my "creative spirit" by connecting some of my favorite songs to the exact time period when the song came out in my life. The songs lyrically are not the main focus but merely the role they play as being this "soundtrack" to what was going on in my life at that time.

An example was a song I loved listening 2 called All I Need by Fat Joe, I literally get chills listening to this song because of all of the emotions and history that song represented at that exact time of my life when that song first came out. When that song comes on its like an outer body experience for me because I remember being back in highschool just going through life and suddenly "fallin hard for like, ALOT" lol. But that song really stimulates and inspires my R&B or just love related senses to translate those emotions into my own music.

Or one of my other favorite songs Loose Rap by Aaliyah is dope 2. I remember exactly being on the charter bus 2 (cus only the cool band kids were on bus 2 right lol) but I was a freshman on our trip to Florida. Nadia hands me Aailyahs new album that I was eager to listen 2 for the first time and just tripped on this song. I luved this song so much I fell asleep to that song with it on repeat on my cd player, waking up to it at 4:00 in the morning , realizing I slept on Ashley the whole night (the white percussionist ashley) and everybody took pictures it was hilarious lol. That trip was one of the best times of my life. Just being outside of Killeen and in Florida was euphoria for me. I felt like I played a bigger role in the world than just chillin in Killeen for the majority of my life u know. I can litereally picture myself looking out the windows of the bus gazing at this foreign world that smelled, looked, felt, and sounded like heaven. This memory subconsciusly makes me go the extra mile to really take my musical creativity to the next level!!

Wow I didnt expect to write this much but its coo. Its 12:36 here I need some rest but I probably wont go to sleep til 2:00 lol.

Ill leave yall with one of my fav quotes
"When u put ur life into your career inspiration should be second nature" -The Neptunes

Welp till next time mi familia, PACE!!

PRODUCERS BLOCK : (

2006-01-18T21:56:00.000-08:00

Hey fam,

Even though I'm not a cartoonist I feel just like that lady up there lol. I've been cranking out beats like crazy the last month but this week I've seemed to work myself into a "producers block". I think I'm over stressin about having enough hot tracks by time I go to NYC. I'm going to spend the next 3 days finding my insperation again. Here's some of my musical mentors concept of tapping into insperation to create GREAT MUSIC....

"I think everything in life gives me inspiration, just sheer experience. I mean, after all, what do we talk about in songs, right? What is the color? What is the backdrop of all of our feelings? The chords. Derived by what? Feelings. Which come from what? Experiences. So, yeah, it's about everything. The whole complete music experience is great. The appetizer, the meal, the dessert, what is one without the other?"
-Pharrell

"I have flashbacks of what happened everyday, And anytime I hear about any accident my heart sinks in and I just thank God that I'm still here. That steering wheel could have been two inches further out, and that would have been it. You find out how short life is an how blessed you are to be here." Kanye uses his accident as inspiration for one of the most arresting and triumphant creative statements rap music has ever seen. Just weeks after skirting death, and with his jaw still literally wired shut, he recorded "Through the Wire," a pointed and personal account of the events that resonates with uncanny wit and raw emotion.

-Kanye West

"I play video games!!!"

- Just Blaze

"Bad music on the radio and on MTV and BET inspires me to make GREAT music"

- Timbaland

Welp wish me luck ; ) I hope everybody has a blessed weekend.

Till next time mi familia PACE!!!

2005-12-12T17:41:00.000-08:00

Need I say more, lol

Heres a prayer for all of my colleagues

A Special Prayer for You:

The Lord is my Shepard I shall not Flunk; He keepeth me from lying down when I should be studying. He leadeth me beside the water cooler for a study break; He restoreth my faith in study guides. He leads me to better study habits for my grade's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the borderline grade, I wil not have a nervous breakdown; for thou art with me. Thou givest me answers in my moments of blankness; thou annointest my head with understanding my test paper runneth over with questions I recognize. Surely "passing grades" shall follow me all the days of my examinations and I shall not dwell in this University forever AMEN!!!"

Till next time hasta luego mi familia .

I Have Been Thinking A Lot Lately

2005-11-28T14:36:00.000-08:00

Hey fam,

I hope u had a peachy thanksgiving cus mine was pretty coo if i must say so. Gud food, gud company, gud sleep; what else do we need in life lol. This week I came to the conclusion that 2006 will be Isaiah J. Mitnauls' "2 % critical mass" and I can't stop thinking about all the possibilities in store for me but also all of the GROWTH & WORK I had to go through to get to this point. Umm Since I don't feel liking writing here's a powerful poem that u can steal from me ; )

BE- by Pops

Be, be here, be there, be that, be this

Be greatful for life, be greatful to life

Be gleeful everyday, for bein the best swimmer among 500,000

Be-nign, be you, be mom's mean pie, be little black sambo With bad hair

Be aware of what a lynch is,

Be, be boundless energy

Be a four star ghetto general, be no one except I

Be a strong academic student, be an A student in sociology

Be food for thought to the growin mind, be the author of your own horoscope ( i luv this line heh)

Be invited, be long-living, be forgiving, be not forgetful

Be a proud run, only to return to fight another day

Be peaceful if possible, but justice in ways (?)

Be high when you low, be on time but knowin to go

Be cautious of the road to college, takin a detour through vietnam or the middle east

Be absent of wars at any past or present fought amongst themselves

Be visual of foreclosure over your shoulder while beggin a nation built on free labor for reperation,

Be a cartopogropher

Be a map maker, be able to find afro-american man; search thoroughly it may be close to black man

Be ammended 5/5ths, be ammended 5/5ths human

Be the owner of more land than is set aside for wild life

Be cupid, to world government

Be found among the truth, lost tribe

Be at full strength when walking through the valley

Be not foolish as tender 18 of the mountain tops

Be a brilliant soul, sparklin in the galaxy while walkin on earth ( I luv this line 2)

Be loved by God as much as God loved Ghandi and Martin Luther King

Be that last one of 144,000, be the resident of that twelfth house

Be....eternal!

Hasta Luego mi familia till next time,

Living a Dream

2005-11-14T19:52:00.000-08:00

Hey fam (this blog is so left field, but it was the only wierd thing that happened to me today),

Have u ever have that gut feeling that something u dreamt about will come true. well i did today and i think this one is a keeper. Well u know how people always compare their relationships to other famous people (for ex. Bill Cosby and Chamille, Will and Jada, Nick and Christina) well today in Music Intro. I daydreamed about me and my girl being "that next couple lol ." But fa real I had a vision of us pulling up to the Grammy's red carpet in a all black suburban on a starlit night at a Miami venue. Then my gurl steps out and u know that ora or glow u see on TV whenever a guy see's "that girl" and the wind starts blowing and time slows down, well all that happened when she steps out. And of course I step out in my clean cut tux and the fans go crazy on the sidelines .Then all of a sudden my dream shifts to the morning and we're eating breakfast in our lavish home and our butler hands us a magazine with a picture of us in it. Then I wake up!!!! Crazy huh..

A Mental Massage

2005-11-06T13:09:00.000-08:00

Hey fam,

Jus imagine u and ur friends here^ at 9:00 in the morning, where the sun is perfectly adjusted behind the clouds. The wind waltzes across your face while ur coastin in a golf cart just laughing and enjoying the company of your friends. Well yesterday I had the pleasure to own this emotion for myself and I am officially addicted.

On my dad's side of the family they are heavily into golfing but i always dismissed this sport for the usual "basketball or football" with my friends but I must say golf is richer experience of its own. I always kept my $1000 clubs far in the back of my closet but know I appreciate the investment my dad made. They say 80% of business deals are made on the golf course and I totally see why, the atmosphere and the game is so relaxed but based on professionalism, respect, and confidence. So I urge anyone and everyone to try it out and experience it for yourself. And if your MAN or WOMAN enough to go against ya mans holla atcha boy hahah

P.S. I'm not going to lie, I totally suck at golf but im learning tho give me a good 2 months lol

Till next time hasta luego mi familia,

CATER TO ME!!!

2005-11-03T12:39:00.000-08:00

Hey fam,

Have u ever had a day(except ur birthday) when eveyone is watching & catering to u? Well I did today and I must say "I likes it, I likes it alot lol". But nah, it was so wierd because my week has been as mundane as any other until today. First thing this morning i read my email and found out my Just Blaze package that was supposed to come in 4 weeks came today and that ish alone made my DAY.

It gets wierder, after i got my package I went to the library to finish my math hmwk and i asked the librarian (aka Nessy) for a laptop and she said "Sure Isaiah hows ur day today!!!". That lady always ignores me and catches an attitude with me but somehow today she was all over my "grape fruits". Next when gave her my id to check out a laptop i found my smoothie card and it was full, so ISAIAH GOT HIM A FREE TROPICAL BREEZE SMOOTHIE mmmm delicioso!!!!

After I finished my math homework!!! (which never happens) i went to retrieve my prized smoothie and the atmosphere moved along with me. The cash register lady cracked a joke with me and everyone was saying wassup to me, even the chefs and the contruction workers, and I was jus lampin around with this cheesy WTF smile lol.

Next while I was waiting for my smoothie my gurl called ME and instead of her starting the conversation by letting her unload all of her yip yap she asked ME how was my day?

So I jus wanna give a major shout out to GOD for letting me have such a good day and everyone who CATERED TO ME cus i luved it hehehe

Never doubt the power of prayer cus itz real jus ask my man below me lol ; )

To Be "Polished" or Not To Be "Polished"

2005-11-01T18:28:00.000-08:00

Hey fam,

Todays turn of events was quite extraordinary. After tonight Isaiah J. Mitnaul has been transformed from an eating barbarian into a davishing mannerist (U like that dontcha lol) . Although I have a hefty amount of homework let me leave you with some nuggets that can save your career but most importantly your PRIDE!!

What is the importance of Dinner Etiquette?

People may feel that if you can't be trusted not to embarrass yourself in business and social situations, you may lack the self-control necessary to be good at what you do. Etiquette is about presenting yourself with the kind of polish that shows you can be taken seriously. Etiquette is also about being comfortable around people (and making them comfortable around you)

The Proper Introduction

1. Stand up- If a woman does not stand when being introduced, she loses 90% of her power.

2. Smile- Show some teeth, it takes 72 muscles to frown and only 14 to smile.

3. Make Eye Contact- At least 40% - 60% of the time, any more and it is aggresive, less is considered shiftly.

4. Introduce Yourself- Say your last name as clearly as your first.

5. Shake Hands- Don't wait, extending your hand shows confindence.

6. Repeat Their Name- Within 15 seconds of the introduction and every 30 seconds thereafter.

*Never say "Hi", "Hey", or "How's it going?"

So next time u take that special someone out for dinner or your trying to suck up to your future boss, stay calm but most importantly stay POLISHED!!! LOL

Never Again

2005-10-30T11:13:00.000-08:00

Welcome back fam,

Yesterday was pretty decent for the most part, BEAUTIFUL WEATHER (two thumbs up 4 G-Town), good food, and good football games UT woo-hoo (the irony in team support)!!!! I spent most of my day catching up with my real fam like my sister, who is slowly taking my spot as the favorite child by getting all of these "good grades", a "good job", and "internships with AV rated law firms" (revenge)!! but u better be careful cus im watchin u and your little friend Lydia (her right hand accomplice). o and yall betta stay away from the Tech Football Boys or else ill have to REGULATE . Well, maybe not all of them probably just the kicker and the managers but ill handle minez "dun son". I also hit up my crazy brother Garry down in his H-Town bachelor pad doing his audio engineering thug thizzle. And last but not least my eldest and wisest brother Larry who attends Georgetown University (ivy) UP in D.C. with his lady Katie. If u want to see what he looks like change your televsion RIGHT NOW to C-Span. He is sitting on the second row at the John Kerry Lecture at Georgetown University. He's the brainiac/leader of the bunch but we still pay him attention lol. But he is probably the reason why im so "serious" about academics, my business, and my musical abilities.

Im going to keep the rest of this blog short because i procastinated ALOT yesterday and i have a 5 page paper due TOMMOROW "ayes mio" : (

Basically the moral of Saturdays story is to never go to another Red House, Blue House, Green House, Brown House, whateva color house except a Phi Delta party because they all consist of the same to-do-list. 1- beer pong and 2- "krunk" music. Which equates to a disappointing night/morning.

I guess God was punishing me for going to 2 halloween parties in one weekend hahah!!! I'll promise to stick 2 my Hispanic/Ebony parties if i want 2 have a good time lol!!!

Hasta Luego mi familia,

2005-10-29T13:39:00.000-07:00

Hello world, i have scoured the internet for decades to find a home where i can let go and say what is ON MY FREAKIN MIND, and the time has finally arrived!!!!

Myspace was 2 stalkerish, facebook was too plain & addictive, and xanga (well theres nothin wrong with xanga i just dont like the name lol) but u get the point. So my door is open for u to ride "shotgun" with me on this luxurious vehicle i call "life". So stay tuned, grab some popcorn, and chill because u now have access to the "Coolest College Student On The Planet."

O one of my nicknames is chuck jus in case u were wonderin up there ^^. My mom calls me Chuck Winsdal (he's a preacher). So whenever i get in trouble she yells Chuck Winsdal and some other names God wouldn't appreciate me 2 or her 2 say lol

Hmmm. Well i guess to catch yall up on Mr. Mitnaul, FRIDAY was so necessary cus I FELT SO BOGGED DOWN with school work and other "adult" priorities. i needed to break out and just get away from it all "nawmean".

I wish i could go back to a friday during my junior year where i could go to Texaco with my upperclasssmen friends for lunch, leave class at fifth period for band, get some munchies and batteries from Walmart, and leave for the 4 hour band bus ride to the football game. good times, good times lol. But that means i would have to go home and I DEFINETLY DO NOT WANT TO GO HOME lol I guess i enjoy my independencia 2 much.

But as i digress the Halloween party was the remedy, except for that crazy dude with the angel wings grindin on Batman and that 3-way on the balcony (yall are goin to hell with some gasoline draws) hahaha only at SU. Oh and props to my dance partna/instructor Narda lol, u can be in my music video anytime hahaha. As far as meh lady and i things are moving at the right speed. She recognizes and understands im in this MAJOR transition to move to NYC and she still holds me down. and i luv her for that, She's my thug misses yall lol.

See, u know so much about me already wasn't that kewl ; )

Till next time Hasta Luego mi familia : )
