Are You Ready?
If I know the bank is a stop I have to make before I leave the house I do something crazy and fill out my deposit slip or withdraw slip and have it all ready for my trip out of the house. In the event I forgot this small step, I fill out the same information as I am waiting in the drive-thru line so when it is my turn at the window I can put my transaction in that tube thing and hit the send button and be on my way. I would never think of waiting till it was my turn to fill out the info like some idiots I encountered this morning that of course had to look for a pen to even get the ball rolling!
Another crazy thing I do when I enter a pay garage I glance at the rates to make sure I have the maximum amount of cash on hand. I take that cash and ticket and put it somewhere in my truck so I can get to it easy when I am ready to leave. As soon as I return to my truck the first thing I do is grab the ticket and the cash and get ready to leave the garage. I would never think of looking for the ticket AND the money when it was my turn at the window only to hold up guys like me that are ready to go about my business.
There is no point to this really. Would be nice if everyone took the above points to heart as to maybe speed up the productivity for the day for everyone else

Who needs more than 26k a month?
Looks like Katherine Jackson does…
She filed papers in court this week asking for more than the $26,000 a month she already gets! Are you kidding me? We all know MJ's parents have lived off his money since he started making it. The estate paid off the house that she lives in so there is no house payment and you can't make it on what you are getting? I wonder what Jehovah Witnesses would say about all her greed! I think like when Michael was alive she should shut up and keep cashing the easy money checks!

People that know me as a club DJ or from radio and even Colts might look at this list puzzled. I like all kinds of music and appreciate good production regardless of the genre. When you have such a broad appetite for ALL kinds of music you are that much more in demand in "the biz"

He’s Baaaaaack
Vacation was fun. I am in love with Hilton Head SC and if there was a way to afford to live there, I would be there in a heartbeat. I always come back with a new outlook on things and a better focus. I work LOTS of hours and all of that so when there is a break in the action, I spare no time and no expense to have quality rest time.
Back at the bar on Saturday this female makes out a "list" of songs she wants to hear. These included songs her husband probably hates and stuff that she hears at Zumba class. I told her I would get as many as I can. She was hell bent in hearing this song by the artist "Colby O'Donnis". No cares about that dude unless he is singing on someone else's record. I tried to get it downloaded but my connection kept dropping. Towards the end of the night she comes up and asks why I did not play her "list", I told her I played most of them and apologized for not getting that Colby track and she stood there and looked at me like I robbed a bank. She says "so you couldn't get that track downloaded" and I said "no I don't have control over the internet connection". She then asked if I knew the previous DJ as to pseudo-insult me and I told her I did not know him.
First off, at the start of the night her husband came up and told me that she said "it sucks in here" he admitted she was drunk and he would probably have to carry her out of the bar. So being a babbling drunk already takes away the "customer is always right" line. He mentioned a few songs she wanted and I played those right away. Second, that demand list might work with your husband but not with me. I play music that appeals to as many people as possible and in most cases the requests I get are songs I'm gonna play anyway so it does work out.
One of her songs was "Rock Yo Hips" by the group "Crime Mob". I wasn't gonna play that song and I doubt hubby would have played it in the truck on the way back to Whiteland.
Colts game was a blast, everything is always better when they win! I hate when people say "we won". "You" did not win, the COLTS won. I would never say that as my fatass wouldn't last one play without leaving the field in a stretcher in traction so I don't say "we won" but rather COLTS WON!

All work and some play
So I had 3 weeks' vacation from my day job this year. 2 of those weeks were used to work other jobs and such for different gigs. This week is different as currently we are in Hilton Head. I simply love it out here. The weather, surroundings and everything is perfect. What a way to spend a Birthday!

Back at it & Good People
Looks like I am back to doing Wednesday nights in Broad Ripple at Peppers. Love interacting with the people, playing what they want to hear and giving them a solid option to party where I am. It's a good time and a break from the predictable.
Rock House on Tuesday nights is a fun gig for me. It is an all rock format and the people I have met and became friends with are really cool. Matt & Starr from the bar take VERY good care of me, James and his sis Amy Joe are solid peeps! I'm always partying with Victor from Dead Man's Grill, Darrel & Topher from Recoil and of course all the regulars that hang out as well. Also, be on the lookout for my musical partner in crime Myles B! His band Alter Ego ROCKS SOLID and you never know when he might be on the decks with me or subbing for me. Good things are ahead!
Time to hide my Speedo in my suitcase I am packing for Hilton Head!
(Now there is no way my fat ass would be caught dead in one of those I just could not think of a good way to end this post. So I guess for now see ya!)

5 Months Out Of Prison...
The 29-year-old rapper and his wife, Tameka Cottle, were arrested Wednesday night in West Hollywood after deputies smelled marijuana and pulled the couple over, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said. They were released from jail at about 4 a.m. Thursday after posting $10,000 bail each, sheriff's Deputy Luis Castro said.
...If he is that stupid and this is true, lock him up longer!
