I’m taking a course with Dr. Stacey Patton. Each week she gives an assignment and we’re to turn it in by 11:59:59 on the Saturday before our Sunday afternoon class. Allow me to be completely transparent here my middle name is “Procrastinator” so I knew this would present a challenge for me. To keep an already long story somewhat short our assignment was to create a Soundslide with original photos and audio with a duration of no more than 3 minutes. Welp! Ain’t none of that shit work out for me! Because along with being a procrastinator I am a perfectionist. Yes, you read that right! I am a walking oxymoron!
Anywho, I worked on the project for hours. Delete and repeat more times than I care to reveal. When I finally got the voiceover to my standards it was too long. I looked at the length and it was 4:44. My late husband’s favorite artists was Jay-Z. He told me one of the reasons he married me was because I could recite the entire Reasonable Doubt word for word. So when I tell you it was like the Universe slapped me, gave me writer’s cramp and carpal tunnel all at the same time while whispering “Not another edit.” I went to google to find out the meaning of repeating 4’s. According to Medium.com “444 is a number of protection and encouragement. It is a sign that you are currently following the right path. If you see the number 444 repeatedly, it is often your angel giving you a sign that they are with you. The sign is reminding you to feel confident and supported in this knowledge”
While I didn’t meet the deadline and the length ran over…. I’m telling y’all now you just gonna have to take this 4:44. Cause I gotta story to tell… Enjoy
