buzzer beater

BACK AGAIN!
Here to drop off something special for New Year's Eve. I wanted to close out 2024 on the right note, so I present to you "buzzer beater", a 3-song instrumental EP by yours truly, #dad 🏙️🤵🏽♂️🌆
This year, I've been thru so many different ups & downs. Honestly, I couldn't even begin to list off everything, but I'm still extremely grateful to be here. With most of the decisions I've made this year, I can rightfully say that I've won the year for myself. I've put in a lot of work to see my goals come into fruition, & I am comfortably growing into who I was always destined to become. By steadily growing my companies,
The Most Marvelous Brand Inc., Windicate Entertainment Inc., & Popstar Realties Inc.,
I've been able to stretch far beyond what I thought would be possible for myself, & it still feels like I'm just beginning. I'm proud of what I've been able to accomplish in my life so far. Take some time to reflect on your 2024 & show love to yourself for how far you've come on your own journey. I'm sure you've overcome some obstacles, like we all have, over the past year.
Remember to start off your 2025 the right way & walk towards what you want to do in your life. There's so many opportunities to be who you want to be. You just need to fully embrace who you are & everything else falls into place. Don't worry about obstacles because again, we all have them. Just focus on your goals & what makes you happy. Once you do that, you practically become unstoppable 🤷🏽♂️
HAPPY NEW YEAR
&
LET'S MAKE 2025 AN AWESOME ONE!

ATMIX V
12/29/24 4:20pm
You would think that by the end of the year, Windicate Entertainment Inc. would be on vacation right now, but the work never ends fr.
Why not cap off another great year of work with the highly-anticipated "ATMIX V"?
I hope you all enjoy this one as well, & I also hope that all scores are settled.
As always, I'm very grateful for y'all being with me on this journey.
Happy Holidays
Enjoy your life
& this great music!
Love, AT🤴🏽<3
'Tis Christmas
12/25/2024 2:47am
'Tis the night of Christmas 🎅🏽🎄
Santa is DEEP in the midst of his 23 hr overnight work shift.
At this point,
Santa has had 1000s of a variety of cookies
& 100s of glasses of milk.
Due to Santa's newly found lactose intolerance,
His preference is now almond milk.
However, he's snuck in (more than) a couple 2%ers.
With Santa's stomach significantly bubbling,
Rudolph & Randolph are speeding thru the sky
To reach their list of destinations before
Santa shits his iconic red pants.
After a few traffic discrepancies
Due to those drones up there,
Santa has a relatively clear path
To reach every nice (& naughty) person
On his list.
On a phone call with Mrs. Claus 🤶,
She expresses her (routine) worries to Santa
About the Christmas night sky.
Santa assures her that everything is just fine.
After a quick Walgreens stop
To pick up some Lactaid pills,
He encounters a homeless man
Who wasn't in the spirit of Christmas.
Santa asks the homeless man
"What's wrong?"
& the homeless man replies
"I have nowhere to be & no one to be with
On this Christmas night 😞"
Santa,
In a rush to get back in the sky,
Replies by saying
"Christmas isn't about where you are,
Or who you're with.
Christmas is about
what you can do for other people."
The homeless man asks Santa
"What should I do for other people?"
Santa simply replies
"Love them."
The homeless man,
Confused because he's actually talking to Santa Claus,
Asks "But who is there for me to love?"
& Santa replies
"Everybody you encounter."
Then with his Christmas Crew,
Santa magically ascends back into the air,
But before he left,
He gave the homeless man a secret gift.
After receiving this secret gift,
The homeless man's Christmas spirit was restored
& went all around town
Spreading Christmas joy!
Actually, he's probably still doing that right now,
Just like how Santa is probably still working rn.
The point of this allegory
Is to take some time this Christmas
To love people;
No matter who they are.
Everybody can use a little bit of love on Christmas.
Give love & stay joyful!
Merry Christmas everybody <3
Love,
Christmas Ambassador, Aaron T. 🤵🏽♂️🤝🎅🏽

Vol II: Winter 2024/Spring 2025
12/23/2024
Aaron T: …Thank you 😅
Dripperella: C’mon! You know I’ll always take care of you ☺️
Aaron T: Crazy enough, I really do but wait, I have something to give you before I head out!
Dripperella: What is it???
Aaron T: It’s the second official catalogue for The Most Marvelous Brand Inc.
Dripperella: Your clothing brand that you told me about last year?
Aaron T: Yeah!
Dripperella: Cool! Lemme see what you got?
Aaron T: Here, I have 2 shirts & 2 Hoodies, both come in the colors of red & black. Everything comes in one size, XL.
Dripperella: These are niiiiice! How much are these?
Aaron T: Thanks Drip & yeah, about that…
Dripperella: What???
Aaron T: The t-shirt is $700 & the hoodie is $2000…
Dripperella: What the f…
Aaron T: …OR you can buy the Vol II Bundle for $2500!
Dripperella: Aaron……..
Aaron T: Hey 🤵🏽♂️
Dripperella: What makes you think that anyone wants to purchase a t-shirt for $700 & a hoodie for $2000?
Aaron T: Actually, a few reasons. First of all, each t-shirt & hoodie will be personally hand-pressed by me. Secondly, both the t-shirts & hoodies are made with the focused intentions of the highest style & comfort possible. Feel the material!
Dripperella: Ohhhh, this is pretty nice!
Aaron T: See? Third of all, each package will be personally packed by me, & include a few exclusive accessories to go along with the purchase. Also, each article of clothing will have a tag with The Most Marvelous Brand's logo, custom-stitched by me. Will it be perfect? Probably not, but it will be done by me 100%.
Dripperella: Really?? You can stitch??
Aaron T: Yeah, moderately. I’ve been learning different design skills in my off-time. I really do have an interest in designing clothes & growing The Most Marvelous Brand Inc. into a luxury brand.
Dripperella: Wow, I honestly thought this was just a phase.
Aaron T: Why would you think that?
Dripperella: Because I assumed you would be spreading yourself way too thin. You know; with the music & real estate & all...
Aaron T: I thought I told you that everything ties into each other. If I’m being real, designing clothes & merchandise makes creating music way more fun for me. It’s been teaching me to become more precise in my music creation, while creating music has taught me how to be diligent & specific about what I want in designing clothes.
Dripperella: Really? Honestly, I never thought about how they could correlate, but that does kinda make sense.
Aaron T: No, it definitely makes sense. If you think about it, all creation requires focus & when two different hobbies help you focus on different aspects of each other, you start to grow at a rapid, yet steady pace.
Dripperella: That’s true. I don’t make music or clothes though, so I wouldn’t know.
Aaron T: Yeah, but you have a different set of skills that do help people. I mean you’re great @ helping me! 😅
Dripperella: Yeah, that’s true because that helped me become really good @ cooking as well ☺️
Aaron T: See? I knew that you knew what I meant. Anyways, wanna know something else really cool about this catalog?
Dripperella: What?
Aaron T: Each order is going to be spritzed with a special custom scent, curated by me.
Dripperella: Huh?
Aaron T: Yeah, I have a secret formula for a fragrance that I've been working on & I want these clothes to smell like that fragrance.
Dripperella: What? How?
Aaron T: Personally, I take pride in how I smell. When you’ve smoked as much loud as I have, you start to become conscious about the smells you omit. I started to experiment with fragrances, & ended up creating the perfect fragrance for this catalog.
Dripperella: Woah, seriously? Are you a scientist or something?
Aaron T: What? No. I just like doing the things I like to do.
Dripperella: Wow! Putting this much work into your product may actually justify it being worth this exuberant amount of money.
Aaron T: That’s what I’m trying to tell ya!
Dripperella: Who do you think is going to buy this for that amount though?
Aaron T: Anyone who’s willing to pay for these artifacts. You know I have aspirations of growing the luxury aspect of The Most Marvelous Brand Inc. & honestly, I only need me, you, & whoever really fucks with me & my journey to wear my clothes.
Dripperella: Me?
Aaron T: Yeah, of course. I wouldn’t have showed or told you any of this if I didn’t want you a part of this with me.
Dripperella: So what about everyone else?
Aaron T: Again, I only want people who truly support me to have these clothes. I make them myself & put a lot of effort into putting everything together. After the last catalog, which didn’t really do that well, I realized that I would rather just focus on exclusivity & develop something for the people who truly want to see me succeed. I’ve already had enough losers try to eat off of my work without supporting in any way. I don’t need anymore leech scars.
Dripperella: That’s understandable.
Aaron T: Thank you for understanding. Anyways, I gotta head out & get back to work. I need to figure out how to set-up cryptocurrency payments on my website thru Wix so that the customer has more payment options.
Dripperella: So soon? You won’t stay for the food I made?
Aaron T: Actually, wrap that 🆙 in a plate for me & I’ll take that with me.
Dripperella: Of course ☺️
Aaron T: Oh, & here! Please wear this whenever you feel the flyest. I don’t want any low vibrations in my clothes.
Dripperella: *sniffs clothes* Okay!
Aaron T: I’ll see you later 🫶🏽
Dripperella: See ya! 💟
9 Points Behind
12/21/2024 6:22pm
9 points behind
The clock is running down
But the game isn't over yet.
With good defense,
9 points is only 3 three-pointers.
With some time left on the clock,
We can still win this game.
We will still win this game.
Sure,
There are people leaving the arena
But they'll surely miss a moment
Because 9 points isn't as far away
As they may think.
When you've lost as much as I have,
You learn to know what a loss looks like.
That's how I know
This game isn't lost yet.
I'd rather put up a fight
Than accept a preventable loss.
Time is precious.
Accepting a loss with time on the clock
Is a disservice to everyone
Who wants to see you win.
So why not try to win?
9 points?
That's an easier win than many can perceive.
But that why 'many' aren't on my team.
However,
My team is the Most Marvelous,
So anything is possible.
9 points.
The opponents better not be tired.
Because I'm still motivated to win.
9 points.
For a game I was destined to win?
It's my privilege to win this game.
So why not?
9 points behind
Can be a W @ any moment.
You can keep watching
Or leave the arena,
But this W is imminent.
9 points;
3 three-pointers,
Good defense,
& a will to win.
I believe that's possible.
Do you?
