Word As Bond
I have a confession to make, people. I broke my new plan to save money by not eating out. But it's not my fault. WaWa is nasty, yo. Really nasty! It's a fat-boy paradise. God-forbid you go in there with the munchies--we're talking about a real "appointment." Set time aside on your schedule. On my latest Jersey excursion, I drove a buddy of mine down to the local WaWa, and I swear dude was in there for at least 45 minutes, scratching his chin, a man deep in thought indeed, not sure whether he wanted the meatball shortie or the roast beef wrap, undecided between WaWa's banging Iced Tea or a good ol' Strawberry Quick, torn between Tostito's lime-tinged tortillas and Ritz's Baked crips. WaWa is always on some new ish, too, forever flipping the traditional junk-food joints to catch you off guard. I housed some salt-and-pepper potato chips, and the brand-new, cheddar-cheese filled soft pretzel.

And then I remembered I wasn't supposed to eat out anymore.

I have another confession to make. And this one is serious. The other day, I ...this is difficult ... (breathe) ... I ... I watched Oprah. (Sigh.) And ... well ... (just say it) ... I liked it. Alot. She had an interview with Luther Vandross, his first since he came out of a coma, and it almost brought me to tears. And then she had Simon from American Idol in a little bit with his mother, and it was kind of funny. And then, she had Hillary Rodham Clinton on with her mother for Mother's Day, and her mother looked to be in her 50s at the most, and she was like 70! It was crazy. And then she brought out Ruben Studdard to sing a song for Luther, and he was great!

I'm okay, y'all. I'm okay. All I need is a little "Real TV" and I'll be good.

Freedom Fridays are going strong. The dance floor has been packed for almost 3 months now, ever since we started, and it's amazing. We're bringing about 350 beautiful people week after week, and you can bet your bottom dollar it's loads of fun. Hit me now to RSVP for this week. And if for some reason you didn't catch the big birthday blast-off slated for Monday, May 24th, I'll tell you again. Monday, May 24th, we got a big Howie McDuffy party celebrating a bunch of birthdays. I'll be spinning alongside the likes of Green Lantern (Eminem's deejay), Hot 97's DJ Enuff, Mark Ronson, WBLS' DJ Self and some other suprise guests. You know how Howie do--it's going to be really crazy and really hot. Don't even bother coming down there unless you are dressed to impress and you got the sausage factor down to like ... zero. Feel me?

Big shout out to Howie McDuffy, Gram Oliver, Seth "Dog" Zaplan and Chad Hogan. Big shout out to i.emerge and the 5th Platoon for winning the NYC regional DMC battle. Mazel Tov, my bruthas! What up, Rholi! What up, Neil! Sup, Daddy Dizzle--good luck at the National DJ Search in Cali. Kick arse like we're at Krunktivities back in the day at Swim.

Now I gotta go and look for Asian Longhorn Beetles.

Peace, love, good health and spiritual excellence.

P.S. -- A moment of silence for John Whitehead, half of McFadden & Whitehead, the R&B legends who gave us "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" and wrote a number of R&B hits, including "Backstabbers" and "The More I Want." John was gunned down in Philly the other day and died shortly after in a local hospital.
