Off to Europe

Im off to Europe today. London, Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam.. all in 7 days which is wayyyy to quick but Im happy to have the opportunity.. Heres my thoughts prior to leaving.. we'll see how they differ from when i get back

London: eh.. definitely a cool city but not for an extended period of time... gonna be cold as hell
Paris: cant wait.. never been there.. unfortunately we will be there the shortest amount of time.. but long enough to tease me enough to come back with my family
Berlin: Never been and have absolutely no idea what to expect.. def look forward to it
Amsterdam: Cant wait.. those who know my history know why Amsterdam just makes sense for Chris Clancy..

Im going to set up the Eminem record internationally with management (who have become, more importantly, good friends)

now for those who are wondering what Em sounds like nowadays and have only heard "Crack a Bottle" let me by crystal f@cking clear.. This is the shit you are waiting for. He sounds as good as he ever has and to me the lyrics lean towards The Marshall Mathers LP content wise.. I hate when corny record company people talk about goosebumps but it just applies here.. Hip Hop has been pretty bad lately and it needs a swift kick in the ass and trust me this is the steel toed boot...

pulling the covers back

Since i now have some time on my hands, im considering updating site again. i guess i just got burnt out on "my opinion." Ever feel like that? Some people have personalities that fit like a glove when it comes to blogs but for me im not comfortable when my opinions start to feel more important than they actually are. I left my job at a record company after 10 years and i must say, it feels great. It was time and the business now is full of opportunities. I believe we are all the authors of our own life book and every once in awhile you have to read it and make sure its the book you want it to be because its the only one.. (unless the Buddhists are right, but for your brain at least its a one time shot) .. well my book started to read "But the moneys good" on every page. For a lot of people, especially now, that is a decent book, but for me it was eating up my soul. I was becoming what I promised myself i never would.. Someone who takes a check. Since ive been gone I feel like i got myself back.. Music even sounds better! Im working on a few projects and am going to start a company with some friends.. Making money with friends is so much better than just making money....and there hasnt been this many good people on the outside than there is now. Strength in numbers. I have nothing but gratitude and respect for the past but that chapter was getting a tad long... Im taking the additional time home to enjoy my wife and daughter (being a mom is one hell of a job by the way, exhausting...) im also going to yoga 3x a week which is incredible... throw in some reading, hiking and wii tennis and life starts again. stay tuned

(by the way.. spongebob is fantastic.. i had no idea)
