I wanted to get my free Starbucks. Hey yeah, uh, I had a gift card from Starbucks that I got over the weekend from the graduation reception. They gave it to me as an extra thank you on top of being there. So I wanted to stop at Starbucks to get some coffee on the way into work, uh, but I didn't know, yeah. I seriously did not know that Starbucks doesn't open until 7. So I was like, holy shit, fuck that. I want City Market back, hey man, for real. So um, but yeah, that that's pretty much it. I just wanted to jump on here really quick just to give myself a shout out, hey yeah, and let you guys know uh that the album is out, Acoustic Heartbreaks. Uh Mike, let's go check it out.

Hey yeah, and if you're feeling some type of way, something to have a drink with, hey yeah, uh, plans for my birthday. No, I don't I don't have any any plans. Like I said, I I this is the first year that that um I just not doing anything, I guess you could say, you know, and that's fine, that's totally fine. Um last year, uh it was, you know, this morning when I was up, like I said, it's been kind of bitter, bittersweet, you know. Uh last year, man, my dad took me out for my birthday. Uh, we went to dinner, and my my uh my mom, I was talking to my mom yesterday, and she was just you know telling me like how after last year, after I left, you know, from the restaurant and everything, and I try to pay for it. I honestly try to pay for it. Um, I was like, Dad, I got it, I got it, because my dad was like, Sonny boy, let's go, let's go get something to eat for your birthday. So, me, my mom, my dad, uh, we went out, went to the Tani Nes and Shiprock, and that was my that is my dad's favorite restaurant, was was the Tani Neds. And so we went, we went there, uh, got some food, it was delicious. And then afterwards, um, you know, and it didn't have anything to do. My dad was like, Do you want to get a cake? Oh man. Uh my dad was like, Do you want to get a cake? Let's get some cake and everything. And I was like, Oh, and then that's when my mom said, Oh, your you know, your little sister's bringing a cake. Um, I was like, Oh, okay, cool, cool. I'll I'll come back over and and eat some cake. So uh I went back home and just was hanging out for a little bit and then um went over to my mom and dad's house and ate some cake. It was a good birthday, like it was it was super chill, and it was like, yeah, it was it was really good. It was really good. And this morning when I got up, I was I was remembering that, you know. I was remembering that. Then my mom's up super early in the morning, and she went in, you know, she went and sent me a birthday text and just was like, son, I love you so much. Happy birthday. I'm so glad that you're still here on on earth. I'm so glad that God is still blessing you uh beyond years and giving you more years on this earth, you know? And you know, the last um the last couple, I guess you could say a couple of weeks has been kind of discouraging to me. Uh, don't tell a lot of people what's going on, uh, just like keeping it to myself, I guess you could say, you know. Um, but yeah, so anyways, uh my mom was texting me this morning, so I just decided to call her. I just decided to call her and called her and and uh she was like, Oh, you're up, son. She's like happy birthday, I love you. And I was like, Thank you, mom. I was like, I appreciate it. And she asked me, she was like, What are you what are you doing for, you know, what are you doing for your birthday today? And I told her, I said, Oh nothing. I said, I'm just gonna go to work and coming home, and that's pretty much it. And she was like, Oh, okay. She's like, Well, if you're not busy, um, I want to take you to go get something to eat. So I was like, okay, cool. And she said, You want to go to Tanyez? And as soon as she as soon as she said that, like, I honestly I just broke down. I did. Again, you guys know how hard it's been, how hard I've been dealing with the the loss of my father. Um, I don't know why this one hurts just a little bit more. I think just because I got to spend that amount of time that I did with my dad uh just before he passed, versus my older brother. Um, you know, I I told the story of my older brother, how he passed away. The day that he passed away, I hung out with him too as well. Uh, we went out to Tupa City, dropped off Brooklyn, and then, you know, just kind of hung around, went to Flagstaff Page and came back, and then that was pretty much the last time that I hung out with him. Um it was totally different. This one, my dad was preparing us. My dad was preparing us. If you guys were with me through this whole journey or whatever, you guys have heard me talk about it. If you guys were in my life personally, I talked about it. My dad, my dad was preparing us, so it was a little bit different, you know. Um, knowing knowing that my dad was going to pass was was a little different. Um, but the preparation leading up to his passing, um, I guess kind of helped a little bit um for everybody else, not me. Hey, yeah. Um, but but uh as I was talking to my mom this morning, my mom was just like, Yeah, last year, you know, your dad wanted to take you out. He was super excited. Uh, that morning, he was like, Oh yeah, today's Michael's birthday, my sunny boy's birthday, and he was just really excited. And when when she was talking about it, I was on the other line, I was just crying, you know, missing my dad. And my mom was just like, Michael, I hope you know. She's like, I really hope you know, and you take this, take this to um, take this to your heart, think about it, and just know that how proud your dad was of you. I mean, when I did when I did Mike List back in the day when it was a hip hop artist, whatever, even a DJ, I I knew my dad talked about me to his friends. I knew my dad um what do you call it, bragged about me, you know. Uh I heard it, and his friends, uh, relatives would always say, Oh yeah, your dad said your dad talked about you, oh your dad said that you were out here this weekend, you were in, you know, Canada last week, or you were in, you know, just a different, different area, you know? And so I never really I never really thought about that, you know, as as a bragging, I guess you could say, you know, because for me, I've always said, I don't look at it like that, like, oh, I've been here, I've been here, or whatever. Just what I've done, this I'm I'm not I'm not even like that. Like I could I could care less. That's even even with this release, you know, even with this release, I'm just like it's there. People are excited about it. Yeah, some people are excited about it. I I I am super excited for that too, as well. But I'm not the type that's going to um, I guess you could say put myself on a pedestal like that. Uh, there's still a lot of stuff that I've I've done like that that people don't know about or I don't talk about. Because it I did it, it's in the past, you know, and that that that's just what it is. But to hear my mom tell me that, you know, my dad was proud of me, and my mom was like, Yeah, when we were driving back home, she was like, Dad was just talking about you, saying, Oh man, you know, like I'm so proud of my son, all the accomplishments that he's done, all the accomplishments that he's did in his life, um, music, being a father, you know, being working with the stuff that he has, you know, and and my dad was like, man, like I I hope, and my my mom said, my dad said, I hope I did a good job raising him. I hope I did a good job raising a man. And as soon as I heard that, like I like I said, I was already crying. Hey, I was already crying, I was bawling, and I was like, man, mom, I was like, I wish dad was here. I said I would tell him again, thank you, thank you for everything, thank you for everything, thank you for all the teachings, thank you for all that you instilled in me to make me become the person that I am today, you know? And I was just yeah, I was I was a mess. I was a mess this morning, but I got up, got ready, I was listening to not even I wasn't even listening to the album, I wasn't even I didn't even start streaming it or anything, you know. I just uh was listening to my random jams, and man, it was it was just a good morning, you know. It was a good morning, and I just wanted to jump up on here and to thank each and every one of you guys.
