From inside a building with no windows, it is hard to tell day from night. The only hint that the earth is rotating is the daylight that peers through the thickly meshed metal grate that covers the small translucent fiberglass tiles towards the ceiling. The time of day didn't matter because either way, I couldn't sleep. It wasn't until 6:00 am, after the sugar rice and bread tray being brought into my cell by an orderly, was I able to sleep. I was woken by the metal door clunking open. An officer called my name and asked me to sign some paperwork that appeared to be a bail but later was found to be a Temporary Leave Status form. The judge granted me 12 days out of custody for me to handle things with my family and then report back to the court on June 29th and turn myself back in. I have 12 days to save my mom's house from foreclosure and to tie up any loose ends before I go back into custody.
Then more bad news. Since I have been locked up, Baron Hopgood, the owner of Optasia Enterprises and its subsidiaries including the label I signed to which was a sub label under EMI, was now being investigated for embezzlement. He appearantly scammed the city of Dallas mulitple times with several cases of realestate fraud and other crimes. The local news is currently doing an expose on him. The label went under with my $500,000 indie deal inwhich he was protected by the LLC laws. Not that I would want to be associated with such a shady company anyway.
Now weeks away from being homeless, I am fighting harder than I ever have before. Losing it all, I still remain strong, trusting in the Lord and ultimately, doing it for my mom.
I refuse to lose.
