I'M FEELIN THIS

A WHILE BACK (LIKE ALMOST A YEAR IT SEEMS), I WAS SHOPPING LATE NIGHT AT WALLY WORLD,...U KNOW, LIKE 3AM WHEN THERE IS NO TRAFFIC, NO DRAMA, NO CONGESTION....THE WAY I LOVE TO SHOP. ANYWAZ....I WALKED THROUGH THE ELECTRONICS SECTION TO CHECK OUT OLD MOVIES AND AS USUAL....IT WAS A TOTAL GHETTO SCENE WITH PEOPLE BLASTING THE STEREOS LIKE IT WAS CLUB WALLY WORLD. THERE WAS THIS SONG THAT CAME ON AS I SHOPPED AND STOPPED ME DEAD IN MY TRACKS. THE MUSIC SOUNDED LIKE SOME OLD EARTH WIND & FIRE AND THE GUYS VOICE SOUNDED ALOT LIKE D'ANGELO. I THOUGHT...."OMG!!! THAT'S THE SH*T!" I HAD NO CLUE AS TO WHO IT WAS. CALLED THE STATION IMMEDIATELY BUT.....IT WAS 3AM.....AUTOMATION! NO ONE WAS THERE. I DOCUMENTED THE DAY AND TIME THE SONG PLAYED AND CALLED THE STATION THE NEXT DAY DURING BUSINESS HOURS AND THE MUSIC & PROGRAM DIRECTORS HAD NO CLUE.

DAM!! DAM!! DAM!!! SIGH.......

THEN, ONE DAY IN THE BLOGSPHERE WHEN I WAS STILL A NEWBIE AND I USED TO GAWK ALOT BECAUSE THE LIVES OF OTHERS WAS SO FASCINATING TO ME. I CHECKED OUT THE BLOG OF X. THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE AIR BECAUSE SHE WAS FEELIN THIS NEW SONG BY THIS DUDE NAMED RAHEEM DEVAUGHN. I NEVER REALLY DO THIS BECAUSE IT COULD BE A VIRUS OR SOMETHING....I DON'T KNOW, BUT I CLICKED THE LINK AND SCREAMED TO THE TOP OF MY LUNGS....."OMG!!!! THIS IS THE SONG!!!!!" NOW, I HAD A NAME TO PUT WITH THE SONG. I CALLED MY BUDDY AT THE STATION THE NEXT DAY AND HE WAS ALL LIKE...."OH, I KNOW WHAT SONG U TALKIN' BOUT! WANT ME TO SEND U THE MP3?" I SAID,...."HELL, YEAH!!!"

I BURNED A CD SINGLE AND LISTENED TO THE SONG REPEATEDLY,.....EVERYDAY.....TO AND FROM MY TRIPS TO ATL....AT THE DESK....IN THE CAR....IN THE BEDROOM....NON-STOP! HELL, IT'S EVEN A RINGTONE ON MY PHONE.

ANYWAZ....I GOOGLE THE HELL OUT OF THIS DUDE AND FIND THE HOME PAGE AND THERE WAS NO RELEASE DATE FOR THE LONGEST TIME. I WONDERED WHAT IN THE HELL WAS WRONG. THE RECORD COMPANY IS F*CKING UP BECAUSE THIS HAS "BLOW-UP!" POTENTIAL. STILL.....NOTHING.

FINALLY....I'M CHECKING OUT THE SUNDAY PAPER....NOT FOR NEWS, BUT FOR THE SALES AND FLIP TO CIRCUIT CITY AND WHAT DID I SEE? DANG SKIPPY.....RAHEEM DEVAUGHN'S ALBUM RELEASE!!! OMG!!!!

THE CD IS EVERYTHING I WISHED IT WOULD BE. IN THE ABSCENCE OF OUR BELOVED CRACKED OUT D'ANGELO....RAHEEM HAS ARRIVED. SOME WOULD NEVER COMPARE THE TWO AND THAT'S FINE. I'M JUST HAPPY HE'S HERE MAKING THE MUSIC HE DOES. IT'S NEO-SOULLY, SEXY WITH A SPLASH OF FUNK. HE'S D'ANGELO, MAXWELL, DWELE AND A LITTLE RAPHAEL SAADIQ WITH SPRINKLES OF PRINCE. THIS CD IS BRILLIANT AND I AM TOTALLY FEELIN' IT.

RAHEEM DEVAUGHN'S NEW CD IS HOT.

I JUST GOT THE NEW ANTHONY HAMILTON AND COLDPLAY CDS...CAN'T WAIT TO CHECK EM OUT. WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN JAMMIN' TO LATELY?

PS....THANKS FOR THE B-DAY SHOT OUTS. I PARTIED TOO HARD TO BE AS OLD AS I AM. PICS FROM THE B-DAY AND FAMILY REUNION FROM HELL ARE COMING THIS WEEKEND. MISS U GUYS.

U WANT IT,.... YA GOT IT!

OK,..things have been CRAZY!!! I hate that I can't blog like I want but I will try to make up for it in this entry......

check it out, the new station vehicle......THE MAGIC MOBILE

too girly? I love it.

So lots has been going on with the launch of my new station. Thursday, we threw our first event....MARTINI FEST. People paid 20 bucks to sample food from different restaurants and 25 martinis all night long. It was civilized....until the booze came, then we got busy.

this was an actual chocolate tower.....just waiting for anyone to grab those strawberries and grapes for the drenching. mmmmm yummy

then things really got interesting.....

my cool, kick ass, new boss took us to an after party and spent 200 bucks on shots for his employees...on a THURSDAY!!! WHO DOES THIS?

there were more pics once the shots started coming but i guess i was a little too drunk because everything came out B-L-U-R-R-Y!

Anywaz....then came friday.....

I WAS HURTING!!! Remember, I have to be at work at 5am for the morning show now. It wasn't pretty....(which is why there is no picture)

So what do I do? After work I went to my friend Liz's "I'm Divorced and it ROCKS!" party. She apparently does this every year. It's year 3 for her. Is it me or is this weird? Whatever....free drinks, so I was there.

she had these little plates and everything. When it was all over we lounged out back listening to Michael Buble' (has anyone heard his stuff.....AWESOME) Anywaz....her aunt came over and she had this thick southern accent (I have totally lost mine even though I haven't been anywhere) Her accent was sort of Savannah and she had that old southern belle etiquette going. It was so cool.

I got home at 2am. I know what you are thinking....I'm a crackhead, right? I know it was crazy because I had to get right on up the next morning at 5am to be in Atlanta by 8am for the neice's Christening. I HURT.

So I'm now at this huge church that had security in golf carts blocking off parking decks, which I hate. All I can think about during service is how I am gonna make a run for it and jump in the car and take a nap until it's all over.

That's exactly when the Minister tells the ushers to "Man the doors!" WHAT? Aww DAM!!!! (I thought) Then, Oops...my bad LORD....didn't mean to think bad words in church. So, I hurt for what feels like 11 hours. My aunt manages to sneak in some nods on the sly. I know now that the key is...tented glasses and a big hat.

So anyway.....after everything was over.....DAMMIT!! THEY WANT TO TAKE PICTURES, TOO!

OKAY SO SIS, BRO-LAW AND THE NEICE LOOK ADORABLE.....I SUCKED IT UP. THEN, I GOT MY NAP ON. Man, I am getting old.

So my sis wants the whole family to go to some place called Etos in Atlanta. It was interesting. We got stuck with the waiter virgin. Yep....we broke him in. He placed menus around the table for each family member. The problem was that the menus weren't neccessarily ON the table. Yeah,....THEY CAUGHT FIRE....right before our eyes. It was one of those Japanese style restaurants. Then we had to move to another seating area and wait another 20mins for the table to heat. OYI!
The food was excellent.....when we finally ate. Then, I had to hit the road immediately after because I had to get back in time to do the morning show. I HURT!

Needless to say, before it was over....I was as pooped as the neice. My Birthday is today and I am too tired to even sing the dang song. I am so sleepy.

The hits don't stop there.

This weekend.....FAMILY REUNION!

LORD, PLEASE HELP ME.
