Keeping it REAL.....

I am addicted

Not to the pipe or that nickel bag but to reality TV. It started out as no big deal with The Real World on MTV…

Looking back I was a functioning addict then, with that once a week shot of reality.

Today I am pookie from New Jack City…… Strung out and craving for my next hit….

The Amazing Race, Top Chef, Project Runway, Wife Swap, The Osbournes, Intervention, Airline, The Apprentice, Celebrity Fit Club, I want to work for Diddy, Being Bobby Brown…. I could go on but this is just a short list of my drugs…

I’m sure from time to time you have taken a hit….. American Idol.. Dancing with the Stars… What about the ever popular train wreck Flavor Of Love?

Well my new drug of choice is The Real Housewives of Atlanta, which will follow a similar format of the OC and New York predecessors. The show debuted this week on Bravo and they got me already.

I’m well aware that most women in Atlanta are not like this group…… There are plenty that are, but MOST aren’t. I ain’t saying they are golddiggers, but they ain’t messing with no…… (You know the rest)

This show is just so totally wrong because these women are the shallowest, bitchiest, and most materialistic tricks I have seen in a long time... (And I have seen a lot) but I Love it!!!!

I mean these chicks are The Real Housewives of the OC, and NYC on speed. There is nothing wrong with designer labels, extravagant homes/birthday parties and fully loaded Escalades, but I guess it’s the way you get them.

Since only one episode has aired, I can’t really put my finger on who the villain of the show will be, but I have narrowed it down to NeNe or Sheree. Sheree is the ex of some athlete, and she is fighting him for money so that she can continue to maintain her lifestyle, which includes an extensive staff (personal assistant, chef, and publicist) and buying $3,500 handbags that look like you can get them for a tenth of the price at Gateway.

Well, here are a few more of my personal notes about the show. One of the ladies featured on the show named Lisa Wu-Hartwell is the ex-wife of Keith Sweat. The show will make it seem like she has just one child, because the 2 sons that she has with Keith will not be on the show. Keith wouldn’t give permission for the boys to be on the show…..

Enjoy the housewives……… believe me I will

Election Time

Well, the final debate is over...........

If you can believe it or not there is only about a week until the election.

As we learned in the last Presidential election, winning the state of Florida is MAJOR.

If you don’t think so, watch how many events/appearances the candidates will be doing in Florida until election day.

In fact McCain will be in Miami today and Obama will be in the state on Monday so no one is ignoring the state.

The deadline has passed to register, so at this point the focus needs to be getting to the polls. Call friends and family and make sure that they have a ride.

If you can vote early…. On election day I have a feeling that there will be more than a few lines.

Once again I am not telling you who to vote for…… Just to VOTE.

Do We Really All That Greese

I was a little upset earlier this week and I am going to share with you why.

I heard rumors that a local radio company was thinking bringing back “The Greaseman” who was a pretty well known radio DJ in the early 80's.

Some of you were not lucky enough to be born and raised in Jacksonville, but a few of us were and remember him. The best way to describe him is....

He was actually Howard Stern before there was Howard Stern…. If that makes any sense.

He was one of the first “Shock Jock” radio guys. He was entertaining, and constantly stayed right on the edge. Well after making a name for himself in Jax he moved onto bigger cities and made a bigger name for himself… Then he slipped and fell over the edge.

In 1985 while talking about the Martin Luther King holiday he said: "Why don't we plug four more and get the whole week off?"

Or in 1999 after playing a Lauryn Hill song that I guess he really didn't like he said: "and they wonder why we drag them behind trucks." Making reference to the murder of James Byrd who was murdered by being dragged behind a pickup truck by white supremacist.

Don Imus wasn’t the first to have a slip of the tongue, and I’m sure he is not going to be the last… But obviously if he can say those things… there is a bit of truth in there about the way he feels.

It's just such a double standard, and it seems like the african American community is so disconnected from a lot of the issues being thrown our way.

I emailed my complaints to the powers at said radio company, but on Wednesday 10/1 the Greaseman returned to Jacksonville….
