Ok....... Welcome to a new spot on the net where you can get into the world of a person that is way out there... A daily BLOG is meant to be a gateway into someone's world that you can take a slight glance into, and maybe laugh. I keep this BLOG so friends, family, and listeners get a new dimension of me that normally wouldn't be known. I add pictures, stories, phone messages, audio specs, and interview clips etc. I work with some wild people too. I will share it all here. I usually write 2 or 3 times a week, depending on what is happening. Feel free to come through here and read some fun stuff. I will also leave links and cool stuff for you to listen to if you have speakers and your nosey like me. I have a thing for skies, fashion modeling / abstract photography, underground music, abstract painting, artists with style and gut retching passion pouring out of every word, and the color blue. Feel free to e-mail me by clicking HERE 

New Logo coming sooooooooooooooooooon


new logo in progress ! no nose or mouth yet ...... :(

 

 
  Thank you for coming to my little space on the world wide web. This little spot is for the nosey and the informed. Hope you enjoy it and have a ball.

Ez's scat board surf jump

 know is bumping some hard core S. Beats .......... the funk is out on the streets. I was going to buy it because there are

Absolutely NO copies of the CD here in the building. Sux, but that is how it goes when a great CD is released :(

Some lake pics from Canyon Lake Az.  .....................

I decided to have my friend Rich take a snap of me on a high jump in his backyard lake. He has a nice view of the mountains and some pretty wicked sun sets ! As you can see thanks to editing capabilities, it looks like i am jumping into the west canyon sun!  I am wearing a oto vest which is heavy, so I wasn't very versatile..... I will show some more pics soon..... I didn't eat the wave this time, I did bite a few .... I mean damn, I hadn't been riffin in like 8 months, so it took me a while to get back my juice. Canyon Lake is def. a spot if you want to have some Az fun, and it's not far from Phoenix. When I worked at Power 92 in Phoenix, this was the spot to get a way to! This and Rocky Point are the spots to chill if your out west.

                                                  Happy Labor Day Weekend

 
ehhh, if the 3 yr olds can get it right, why can't we ?


Ok....... I have listed the MTV VMA info on my site at www.ezstreetrecords.com/blogspot.htm

I am actually taking my 1st vacation in 6 1/2 months working 6 1/2 days a week........ so it will be good to just chill and re-group.... It is some much needed time off for family..... I am making a gang of cool changes in the next few months. The last few days have been hectic, taping for syndicated shows is a B*#^% , but the outcome is stellar..... I am hosting Hollywood Hamilton's Weekend Top 30 September 9th and 10th on both the Rhythmic and Mainstream show. We added a few cool interviews ( Chingy and Joe Thiesmen ) along with some cool bits from Yung Joc ....... you can go to www.weekendtop30.com for more details.

                                       New Logo Look In Progress

 


Ok....... I have a new artist working on my Ez logo for Ez Street Entertainment........ Let's just say that Lexy, possibly a new intern for 95.7 The Vibe.... is showing off her skills by re-drawing the Ez logo with some cool changes..... I am now holding a mic and not a drum stick or stem, and I am wearing a necklace with an e on it verses the old logo with headphones. I like the new look, and Lexy is hooking it up. By the way, Lexy is an artist, a senior in high school, and she does amazing work. I have had 4 artists work on my logo changes, and none of them could get it right,
I guess some got it and some don't. Thanks for your help on the logo girl, good luck on getting your internship through Cumulus!

You know when something is hella cool, when people start to copy your style as it is displayed ...... keep up little lambs....... there is much more for you to copy.

This was an old idea ...... one of the first .....

                                                                   Yung Joc 

 


Ok....... Notice ... Yung Joc reaches out to his fans to make the real connections! Yung Joc rocked the spot last night, even with bad weather and a late flight into KC. Iceburg Entertainment put on a good show. We spent the majority of the night in VIP back stage meeting up with friends and family to Joc. We also met a cool photographer kid from the KC Star, so I am sure you will see some cool pics in the KC Star this afternoon as well. The security was excellent and the turn out was better than I expected with the crazy rain. We got an interview with Joc that was already played on 95.7 The Vibe this afternoon.... Part of the interview will be heard nationally on Hollywood Hamilton's Weekend Top 30 in a few weeks.

As far as the show, Joc came out on fire and went through a few of his tracks that people never expected he would hit on. The best component he had to work with is the fact that everyone that was in the audience knew all of the words to all of his tracks he presented, not just the CD releases. That goes to show you he was getting and feeling much love from KC last night. 

there are more pictures from the show in the "Ez's Pictures" section at www.ezstreetrecords.com/ez/index.htm

             We had a blast, gave out some gear to the staff and listeners, and talked to everyone about Madden NFL 2007

I love Best Buy. I love the fact that there computer staff knows the products they sell, and everyone in each department knows their stuff..... The managers and the staff were a blast to hang with.  Oh, and my son Zia will be happy, he got Underground 2 for his Game Cube, on sale at where else.... Best Buy fool ! ehhhh I saved $20.00 so, I'm good. Having a son who is into games can be expensive, damn, why couldn't my son be into nature, watching bugs, and counting blades of grass.... anyways, until next time.... keep it pimpin..... and nice and saucy !

click the picture and watch her work it out !

 

Ok.......  last night was Mary J Blige AT THE BEAUTIFUL, LAID OUT, STARLIGHT THEATRE. Mary came on stage to put on a spectacular of power to the scorn women. Mary J Blige is known for going through a lot of drama in her life, which she basically made her premises for in her writing. In other words, her life seems to justify itself, through itself, by itself, almost being her own muse for the fans that have followed her thus far. Mary opened her show with a medley of her old songs IE Reminisce, Real Love, etc....... and went on through her show proving her power within them vocal chords existed in in every which way but weak. She also explained that she was still not completely out of the woods with the drama she has been through, but that she was a new woman, saved, and ready for the next phase of her life.... Independent from critics and drama, and all about her own self worth. Mary J Blige, is really known for the soul stress style preaching to her sisters to be strong, and not to let them boys get em! She is awesome in my book and her show proved it, even with rain, even with her drama she is still getting through, she is golden !

If you are getting ready to go see her, d
on't expect any smoke machines or craziness on Mary J. Blige's Breakthrough tour..... that isn't what she is trying to do.... She says the show is all about her voice, and she proves it from the second she gets on stage.... . MJ Blige tells the Chicago Sun Times, "I'm an artist, and at the end of the day when you look at an artist's show, say Prince, the highlight moment of that night is Prince doing Prince. It's just him and his band, and that's what I represent: true artistry, when a lot of people represent entertaining. I'm an entertainer also, but I'm an artist first." And while some of her competition, colleagues, and good friends in the BIZ, MJ Blige says, "I haven't forgotten what the hard times were in life,..... life is too real to forget. Everything that I have been through and lived through... it's something that I'll never forget, and my fans are going through it now and they have been going through it for a long time."  spoken with truth and dignity for the records.... Mary J kicked some booty on stage.........


Over the weekend I was featured on with Hollywood Hamilton...... Up close and Personal with Cherish..... I will post the interview here soon ! Next up..... Ne-Yo - Chris Brown - and the gang ......................

hahahahahaha !   

Ok....... Last night we partied it up at 5401, a new club inside Luckys in Johnson County. I just wanted to say thanks to Anna, Carrie, Lauren, and all the girls we hung out with. Cody is the Promotions Pimp on our staff. He is hilarious, he had like, ehhh 10 numbers! I also need to say thanks to The Pitch! We hung out with The Pitch at The Dark Horse in Westport, Mo. this past Thursday night for there HUGE talent showcase. There is a LOT of talent out the in this world, and sometimes we look blindly at the artists that need us to notice they are in front of us.

8/1st


this was one of my fav pics from photo shoot

Ok....... Mel Gibson is looking like the 2006 idiot of the universe for his actions. I read the story 1.5 billion times in awe at how someone that has conquered the world of LA LA land can piss it all away in one night by playing the role of mr. cool guy drink man. Moon Shadows is not the Hollywood spot to be anyways. People from Malibu stay away from that spot because of the tourist drama, so for him to use that as his hang out is whack anyways. Regardless, anyone who is stopped by police 3 times and let go for DUI, deserves to receive some kind of deep repercussion from their actions. Supposedly there is a real hard core police report that will emerge from all of this, and his career will take a turn for the worse. Ironically enough, NBC is already pulling the plug on .. hahahah his Holocaust mini-series he was putting together. I think people really lay to rest the old saying, what comes around goes around, and what is coming around for him is kicking him right in the booty!

Tonight we saw the premiere of "The Descent" ...... ehhhh similar to "The Hills Have Eyes", and all those other ( creepy looking dudes living under the surface of the earth ) movies........ I give it a 5 out of 10 rating. I wasn't really ecstatic about the movie or where it went. I did however see the new Justin Timberlake movie "Edison Force" you can rent it too if your a fan, and I thought his acting ability was there.

Ok.......  living in Ca. you meet people all the time, especially on the weekends in the clubs etc....... Here in KC it is rare, but you meet some faces if your out and about, you might see Dr. Phill in Overland Park ....... well I was at the airport picking up my friends from Ca. and look who we bump into. If you don't know him, then it's probably better, and leave it at that, but if you were a Kiss fan, you know that face..... or your a musician that studied some of the best, you probably played a few of his riffs..............  I can't wait to see his reality show........ I did learn a few things about Gene, first, he is a super pimpin kinda guy, I asked how EZ it was for him to scoop women ... so he walks out into the airport walk way, and just sat there ... needless to say, every other woman that walked by took notice and smiled..... Then we talked about addictions and drugs, DID u know, Gene has never been a drinker, or into any type of drug at all, he is actually intellectual, and amazingly enough, he is borderline genius.....

jowita is my homegirl !

Ok....... gas prices are really killing it. I don't get it at all, how come people are just accepting the fact the cost of gas has gone 4 times over in the past 2 years. I am just glad I sold my boat and my jet skis. I gassed up my VeHiclE last night ( $54.00 ) and thought, DAMN, I used to fill up my truck for $22.00 ..... Some people actually are starving just to get to and from work. This whole war on terror costs more lives and life dramas then anyone could have ever thought it would cost to live. Sad :(   I know things could be worse, which is why I never write about drama, I try to remain positive, but damn this gas price hike makes me want to buy a bike. Then my world gets better when my friend pictured above send me a copy of her new write up for the month. I decided to call it relativity for her since she forgot to name it. Jowita is a writer that makes me smile when I read her work, which is why I created the Write Up to begin with. If you want to read something that will make you smile, or just take you away from drama, like the cost of gas, Click Here and read Jowita's G Spot this month.

Also coming soon ( Monday ) something Sweeeet.... wait and hear it for yourself..... Monday night. In the meantime, I am finally getting some sleep, anything to stop thinking about how ridiculous these gas prices are getting.

Ok....... It is rare that I put up pictures I didn't take myself, mainly for copyright ish....However, there is a local photographer named Lisa, that is doing some amazing work, and I thought it was only right to add her information on my BLOG in case there was a potential prospect looking to get quality work done. Since I am no longer doing photography, why not promote someone that is doing good work here in KC. Sooo if your on the search, make sure you give this girl some love and check out her stuff.



click her picture and check out her work !

2 more days until Superman Returns...... It has been about 20 years since Superman made his mark for the last time..... If you are a Superman fan, you are probably super excited about his return to the big screen. The rest of my weekend is all about finding a roommate. I HATE trying to find a roommate!

North Malibu, Ca. 2005  picture by David Hamilton

Ok....... We have had some crazy weather in KC lately, but it's made for some great pictures inside and out. I have been here for 4 months to this day. It has been the best transition I have ever had to make. Moving to Miami was a disaster, moving to Phoenix was cool, but my stuff took a moth to get to me, and moving to Orlando was alright, but someone stole my washer and dryer from my moving truck, and movers broke some furniture that was being moved for me..... This time around, nothing got broken. 

I have been on LA Weight Loss for 2 months, i have lost 15 lbs and I am 100% more healthy than I have been in a long time.... So if you are looking for a guaranteed way to lose weight and know that you are going to get in with the right people, make sure to call 1-800-764-SLIM 

I am currently producing a video for friends in LA, and I am almost done with a Girls Gone Wild night video from 95.7 The Vibe......

It is Tupac's Birthday today, so for a little memoir of his life,
remembrance, a tribute, pictures, poetry, and more,
go to www.tributetotupac.net and enjoy.

Ok....... I have a LOT of updates coming, sorry to my friends in cali, I know I promised a gang of new pictures and stuff, but I have also been putting together portfolio work for a few new models, designing new graphics, catching up with on air stuff, and I am producing a new video... which takes a gang of time to do. I have a new found respect for my Hollywood friends that do video production, talk about time consuming..... OK, so there are new pictures up from our Girls Gone Wild party at Radius this past Wed. Night.... you can see some of the pictures at www.ezstreetrecords.com/ez/pictures.htm ....

 I have to say thanks to Radius Night Club though for letting me get footage from Girls Gone Wild night.... Let me say this, living in Miami, outside of LA, and Phoenix.... clubs are GONE wild 24-7-365, but in KC, there are only a few clubs that are really that wild and Radius this past Wednesday night was the perfect time for me to finish producing this new video I am working on. On the 14th we partied with a few thousand girls gone wild, and I got some great pics and some great video footage.




PICTURED..... jENNIFER, aPRIL, sHELBY, AND hAPPY....... hOOTERS gIRLS WASHING MY TRUCK........

We also hung out with Hooters on Thursday, and they have a weekly car wash on Thursday afternoons where they wash your car for free... ehhh for tips.... Needless to say, my truck is finally clean.

I can only say this, regardless of your sexual nature and how you live, we met the coolest people at Pride Fest.... I am not gay, but I spent a day amongst some of the coolest gay people in the world, watched a concert, and learned about a lifestyle that too many people diss before they try to understand it's just another way of life that should be respected the same as any other lifestyle. Some of the lesbians were fine as hell by the way...... not like I had a chance, but DAMN !

NW Audio !

 Saturday was all about NW Audio ! They have some of the tightest gear on the planet for your car....

Mario Vazquez Interview for Vibe Session 1.0

Tonight was the KC Debut of Mario Vazquez.... After the show I was able to sit down with Mario and talk about his early days of developing as an artist. Mario Vazquez is one of the few artists I have interviewed that can actually hold a real conversation and really make sense of the message he wants to get out. I will share more of the interview in a few seconds, but he is an all around great artist. As a matter of fact, this dude is an all around cool ass artist with the ambition and ability to stay in this business for a LONG time, which is probably the reason Clive Davis snagged him to begin with. Mario Vazquez decided to order the Dave And Busters Ribs meal to get a little taste of KC BBQ........ That is the specialty of KC ! Next, Memorial Day Weekend celebrations are headed your way ! enjoy............ Ok, here is part of the interview
 

Question #1

Going back to your earlier days of developing as an artist, can you tell me about your High School days and how it had an effect on your life ?

Mario V...

I went to LaGuardia
High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.... I was inspired to go to the school because my brother was a dancer at the school. To be honest, I was actually inspired to go to Laguardia by an early mentor that I owe this success to. I actually had a mentor during my middle school days, a math teacher  Mr. Placentino, 
........... you want more, go listen to the interview here at www.myspace.com/onairtalent

Question # 2

Explain the experience of American Idol and your ability to get signed from your experience ?

Mario V.

Leaving American Idol in the top 12 was a smart decision for me because staying on the show seemed like it would be restrictive,  ........... you want more, go listen to the interview here at www.myspace.com/onairtalent

Tell us about your future album and artists you might be working with............

Mario V.

The tentative release date for my CD is set for Tuesday August 1st...... with a HUGE bash in NY to celebrate the album release! We just finished the video for Gallery, the first single off the album, and you should see that on TRL in about 3 weeks !  As far as artists, in the future I hope to do some work with       ........... you want more, go listen to the interview here at www.myspace.com/onairtalent


Is there anyone you want to thank before you go ?

Mario V.

I want to thank you and 95.7 The Vibe for playing Gallery through the roof. I want to thank your (PD) Maurice Devoe for making this all happen for me, and I will definitely come back to show some love in the future.

While I was working in Milwaukee and North Chicago I had a few select friends that called the radio station all the time to say hi, shoot the ish, and share ideas and thoughts on everything from sports to comedy. One of my good friends happened to be this girl Tatyana, who worked with her father in his recording studio in Milwaukee. When I left to go to Phoenix we lost touch up until yesterday thanks to My Space. Since leaving Milwaukee, she has transformed into a woman that has done amazing things. She is modeling, doing print, and commercial work. Again, thanks to My Space, she recently sent me a message to say hello and to let me know what she was up to. I am so proud of her and her work. She is a beautiful woman who has invested in her own Steak Restaurant, so if your in LA and want a juicy stead, check out the Lodge Steak House.. I am so proud of this woman, you go girleeee, you deserve all the success that comes your way from all your hard work..... You little model! 


Over the weekend the video tapes of Brandon Davis and Paris Hilton were put on the internet for the world to see Brandon call Lindsay Lohan a " Fire Crotch " and so on.... I have developed the greatest disrespect and poor opinion of Paris and Brandon Davis than anyone I have ever disliked in the ent biz.... Regardless of how drunk they were, the ridicule and disrespect shown towards anyone for any reason is un called for. If you want to see the video, it is on line at www.ezstreetrecords.com/blogspot.htm ... hopefully for the right reason, you will watch it and see how whack Paris and Brandon have become. 

My phone really sucks........ it never works when I need it to, the pictures come out distorted, and my plan is WHACK. Thus, I am turning it off until I can get out of the contract, or just not deal with the headaches of dropped calls and text messages that i can't return.

Today marks my 12th week in KC and I am happy with the ground work that has been covered in getting this far, both on and off the air. Thanks to all my friends in KC for helping me find my way around the city, Shorty, BJ, Maurice, Slick, Skeeter, Brian, and the rest of the crew...................

Be on the lookout for a tight new interview with Maurice Devoe and Christina Millian, it is on the way !

For those of you who know me, hang out, or just chat it up, I am now 12 lbs less of the person I was 2 months ago. I am eating healthy and living a lot more healthy than I was before. I am on this LA Weight Loss plan that has taught me how to eat and pick out the right foods at the right times...... all I can say if you want to really lose weight and be healthy.... and then maintain the health is to get in touch with LA Weight Loss and ask questions..... 800-764-SLIM ....... In all honesty, this is the bomb..... I miss LA, I miss my son Zia, and I miss Cuban food.... It's time to take a trip out west and hang out with my friends.

Today marks week 9 being in KC ! This is the March of Dimes staff at the Walk America gathering for The March Of Dimes, Shawnee Mission Park ! I spent this  Sunday morning walking and meeting people that were supporting birth defects..... As pictured above, we gave out water and bagels..... at the end of the event we ended up with 50 cases of water that we donated to a homeless shelter.........

Special thanks to the March of Dimes for letting be a part of something fun!



 95.7 The Vibe serving up 10 songs in a row for the walkers !



Bagels and water..... ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

All weekend was spent meeting you , you, and you in Kansas City... We recorded 100's of people telling us how much they loved our station... I want to thank the girls at Joes Crab Shack, Carrabas, Hooters, and the AMC theatres! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on 95.7 The Vibe...... 

Slick and BJ are out every day meeting people and spreading the news and I have to admit, they do a pretty good job at making sure everyone they meet knows who they are and where they work.... It's a class act to watch these two work. We now have a Vibe model girl named Skyy, Jessee, and a few newcomers that are just getting ready to represent for us. They were out this past weekend for Aids Walk KC which you can still support if you want info... www.aidswalkkc.org

Key West, Florida June 2002 picture by d.h

Regardless of what people say about Eminem, there is one thing to be said about him today. He has grown into someone that really does know where he came from. There are some great quotes on line about "Proof", his boy that was killed in Detroit last week. If you get a chance to watch some MTV, watch the interview they did with Eminem. You can tell that "Proof" was his boy, his best man at his 2nd wedding, and the reason he got as far as he got being Marshall. Incredible. After seeing the interview and watching it a few times, I have grown a deeper respect for Em than ever before. Here is a clip of the interview that caught my attention:

 

"He pushed me to become who I am. Without Proof's guidance and encouragement there would have been a Marshall Mathers, but probably not an Eminem and certainly never a Slim Shady.

"Not a day will go by without his spirit and influence around us all. He will be missed as a friend, father and both the heart and ambassador of Detroit hip-hop."

"Right now, there's a lot of people focusing on the way he died. I want to remember the way he lived. Proof was funny, he was smart, he was charming. He inspired everyone around him. He can never, ever be replaced. He was, and always will be, my best friend." Eminem on MTV ........

I Pictured above is some new listeners that were winners of a prize giveaway, so we gave them a tour of 95.7 The Vibe when they came up to pick up there prizes. Over the weekend I spent some time cleaning my house for the first time since moving here. Yeah Yeah Yeah .............. Tomorrow marks day 1 of a new promotion we are starting called Vibe's $10,000 Deal or No Deal. We are the first radio station in the country to do something like it, so it is going to be fun times......

zia (7) demure.....


Ok....... This past week marks my 6th week in KC. Probably the best week living here. Today I was featured in the KC Star by T. Engel. You might have seen the article in the paper ( The FYI ) section of the KC Star. I will repost the article on line here in a few days. This past weekend we spent a LOT of time hanging out at different clubs meeting people in KC. Slick and BJ spent there whole weekend working and getting testimonials from listeners with me. We met about 100 new people that listen to the radio station. Awesome ! We also had a house party get together with our neighbors that live across the street. My roommate John, his girlfriend, and some neighborhood friends enjoyed the sound system of the new vibe van and some party people from all over the neighborhood.

4/1 and 4/2 pictures !


Arizona Sunset

April Fools Day ! hahahah FOOL ! Today was beautiful in Kansas City. Lacey from Hooters is the best, she is our personal server. Amazing, we have our own Hooters personal server. We actually have a group of girls that are tight that serve us up beautiful. As for this past week......

This past week I have changed all of my eating routines.... I am on LA Weight Loss to get back in 100% shape. I start working with a personal trainer I used to work with in San Diego, so in comes the work out routine. I have already lost 3 1/2 pounds in 6 days, so those who don't believe in weight loss programs, this one does. I am not even fat, I am just trying to get healthy, and it's working!

The past few days have been movie days. The Inside Man is incredible, from the writing to the acting, the movie is well written and very well acted out. Denzel Washington does it like always. Last night we decided to see The Hills Have Eyes because Basic Instinct 2 was sold out :(  Demented and twisted. The acting was a little weak. Actually the acting was terrible, and the story line was that of a cheesy movie about a family getting lost in the desert, and then getting tore up by some strange goblin looking demented people that lived in caves. One of these days some demented teenagers are going to smoke some bad weed and get some hair brain idea to set up shop in Arizona and pick off some families. Then they will blame it on Wes Craven somehow and get off due to abnormal psychoses state, mental insanity, whatever..... I wasn't a fan of the movie. Ehhhh can't win em all......

Tonight is the Dem Franchise Boyz Concert. Tomorrow is the DAY OFF !

My LA peoples are coming to visit in (2) weeks to celebrate my friend Brit's B - Day and they are flying her here so we can all party it up. My home girl Jowita is coming to visit this summer too, Jowita is the best.... She writes this column called The G Spot at
www.ezstreetrecords.com/featured/featured.htm where she talks about fashion, college, drugs, and life. 


DJ Overpour Live at Raouls

Chrissy, our bartender in the back ground, was awesome!....
Thanks for showing us love and being way cool.
Some clubs really do care about the people that come in,
and they go out of there way to show love.
Others, not so hospitality driven.



Dem Franchise Boyz ............ Back Stage pictures from the concert 4/1


back stage w Dem Franchise Boyz

The show was off the hinges, hooks, and dead locks..... excellent from head to toe.... The security was probably one of the best teams of security I have ever encountered in a long long long time. They made sure we were straight, that club was tight and the show was hot. I give the show a 10 out of 10, the whole club was rocking wit it, and def leaning with it.


the whole club was ( hands up and hands rockin ) they put it down......


This is how a true pimp looks after he has just busted his A&^ working a crowd for an  hour on stage.....

That is called, workin it....... some pictures can tell a truly deep story, don't you agree....... Only one person had to be plucked from the club and tossed out, because she wouldn't stop trying to take off this dudes clothes while he was on stage....

san fran from flight 1532 aa  

Ok....... Here is a weekend that gets an (A) grade. From Sheryl Underwood's HILARIOUS performance to Tony Braxton's performance, this weekend was amazing. We met some really cool new friends at Buffalo Wild Wings for a few drinks and some dancing. I actually stuck to my new (LA) Weight Loss Diet ! I drank a gallon of water and ate a bomb salad. Same as the night before at Hooters. I am on this diet to be 100% healthy and full of energy, which I already have a plethora of, however, this new plan is teaching me how to eat healthy and maintain healthiness. I used to cook lots of Italian food ( fat ) and Mexican food.... ( un healthy ) .... So being on this new LA Weight Loss plan is teaching me how to get back to being 100% healthy. I have only been following this plan for 4 days and I can already feel the difference with all of the healthy food I have been eating. It just makes it hard when I go out with my crew and they are all eating Cheese Cake, and I have a bowl of fruit, but it's all good. My friend Danielle flew into town on Saturday for a layover before going to NY. We had lunch at the airport and we caught up on all of the time that has passed between us. 

Sunday night we all went to Joes Crab Shack so I could get a healthy fish meal. INCREDIBLE food.... theeeee best. We told the wait staff it was Slick's Birthday, and they made him dance with pom poms as they sang Happy Birthday to him. Way funny! COMEDY! Slick holding pink pom poms wasn't enough, we had a pink giraffe balloon made for whim to wear as a reminder of how fem he looked with his pom poms / dancing ....

Ez and Big Willie in West Hollywood.... Studio of Funk 1 and 311

Ok....... Shown above is a picture of us hanging out in LA at 311's studio. A lot of rock / alt / and hip hop groups and hip hop heads come thru this studio. My guy Bigz sent me a photo from the night we were recording at the studio and how tight the board is that we were using. This studio is hella tight, from a-z. I will add more pictures as this BLOG grows.

My 4th week here in KC was the best so far. I have met some really cool girls. Lacey from Hooters is amazing. A real sweet girl. It's funny, we all went out to eat at Hooters, and Slick kept getting Cory in trouble by getting her attention away from her job, just the opposite of how Hooters really works. It was hilarious, every time Cory came over to chill with us, she got in trouble from her manager.

We also went to Buffalo Wild Wings with our Boss ( Maurice Devoe) and we met Heather and her crew. Heather is probably one of the most laid back cool girls we have ever met .... PERIOD ! When I asked her what her favorite station was, she was like... "95.7 The Vibe all the way" not having a clue we were from the station. BJ and I hooked her up with an official West Coast Customs T-Shirt ( Pimp My Ride MTV ) which actually came directly from Ryan who does the show. BJ's girleee Kelly, well her brother is the guy that does the show, so he came back with T- Shirts and he even brought back a burger from In and Out Burger( go figure ) hahahah ! Wow, I really miss Fat Burger now.... Fat Burger is the best Restaurant in the universe if your drunk at 2 am...... Anyways, we had a ball this past week.

Coming soon, an exclusive interview with 3 6 Mafia, Jennifer Lopez, and Quentin Tarantino ... Quentin and Kevin Federline's Ex, Shar Jackson go out movie hoppin when horror movies are circulating in the underground Hollywood Scene.... You'll hear what is up and coming.

I am wrapping this up now, because we have a movie premiere tomorrow for Ice Age 2 ! I am also dropping off a basketball to Jessica's son Brayden ( Jessica Skye ) is on her way to being in our promotions department, she is a really cool model here in KC!

Angela, Slick, Producer / Production Director Brian, and Twiggy...... 


Angela and Ez in the studio for a quick picture before on air shift!

Ok.......  Today was Angela's last day at 95.7 The Vibe.... Angela was our promotions assistant, and she will be missed greatly. Wow it is time to shave, for real.

3/22nd

Ok....... I thought I would post a picture of my son ( Zia ) since he has called wondering when I was going to put his picture up. I miss him, so I guess this is the best way to let him know I am thinking about him this week. I love you squirt.....

Zia is (4) and he is already learning to play the piano. I am proud of him. He is a little pissed at me though, I am supposed to send him his Mountain Dew Basketball and his water color collection so he can start draw - painting.... and I keep forgetting to put it in the mail. It has just been a long week, a lot of moving stuff, and I finally got my bed. What a long story. I know some people in this world don't even have a bed, so I am not going to rant about how much I love my new bed, but I will say this, I now have respect for those people less fortunate. I slept on a blow up mattress for a month, and I know how it feels now to (NOT) have comfort.

I really hate it when people say they are going to do something, and they don't do it. That is the worst thing in the world you could ever do to ruin credibility - trust - etc.... Whatever, I am healthy and life is a non stop challenge to stay that way.

Image hosting by Photobucket
Skyy and Brayden .... this is my favorite new picture..  click the picture above for more pics

What it do...... Yes, it is true, if something can go wrong, something will go wrong. Before I get started, I keep getting my site jacked by hackers on my Ent BLOG site... www.ezstreetrecords.com/blogspot.htm ... Give it up, your not getting anything accomplished.

OK, sooooo, I will say this.... St. Patricks Day at Mickey's Irish Pub was FABULOUS ! I want to thank Kristen and Lisa for helping me with the fashion tips and early grooming. I also want to diss Kate for standing me up 3 times in a row :( ..... I have a new favorite pet peeve... I HATE when someone says they are going to do something and they don't do it. SUX  !

We started our day off at the south location. Green Eggs and Ham is badass..... Maurice Devoe ( boss ) ( call him Mo ~ ) did his live broadcast in the North while we warmed up. We had a ball during my shift in the North. I am a little pissed that ( Jill ), a girl I borrowed my long sleeve t-shirt too, to keep her warm in the cold, still hasn't returned my shirt. That is what you get for being nice :(  We were joined by 1000 partiers that made the Green Day .... Golden ~ I think I caught a little buzz after I got off the air, because I called my friend Jessica Skye and wished her a Happy Valentines Day..... The good news is, I have a favorite new picture of Skye now ( shown above ) because in my buzzin stupor, she agreed to send me a picture of her feeding her son Apple Sauce..... FYI ... Skye is a model who was in the running to be Miss Missouri ! She is actually trying to intern for Chad ( Promotions Director ) here at The New 95.7 The Vibe! Yes, we need interns for events and stuff. I think single mothers with there kids = sexi .... I also love how Gwen Stefani is stylish and fashionable; all while dealing with pregnancy. Volumes can be spoken for that ability, I can't wait until her style magazine sees the light of day ( that was random ) Happy St. Pattys Day .... I am going back to bed for a few hours and then I am on the air all day Saturday!

Kate ( shown above ) is the culprit who gave me this # below... as you can see, her phone gets more play than a pimp


Ok....... 617-861-3962 is the official reject line.... if you are a female and a guy asks you for your number ... this is the # you give them... Call it and see for yourself... It is funny. No, it wasn't a joke on me, a new friend of mine told me about the number and we called it together. Funny, and it is deep. If some guy met a girl and got this number, he would feel like an idiot the next day when he called it.

3/10

Ok....... Today marks my 2nd week in KC! For the most part, I am having a great time here. I love the hospitality that is shown to people here. Almost everyone I have met has been hella cool! Getting settled into a new setting is hard no matter what your doing though. If you have started a new job, then you know what I mean. You have to learn a whole new set of rules and ways that things are done. I am getting back to being me, so it's all love. We went to a club and hung out with Courtney and her friend Whit! Fun times, and we are hanging out St. Patty's Day.

I met a new (potential) intern I will call .... Model Skye ... who seems to really want to do this. If you or anyone you know wants to be an intern for a kick A*& radio station, make sure to contact Chad, our promotions director. He is actively looking for people that really want to be a part of something fun and exciting. You might not get paid, but you will learn and have the time of your life. There is so much to do, people to meet, places to see......  

Get this, today Paris Hilton got completely busted out. Allegedly, the reason why her ex BF Starvos left her is because his homie, Brian, let him in on her herpes problem. I wrote more about the whole story in my Ent. BLOG at
www.ezstreetrecords.com/blogspot.htm ... I just thought it was funny to see her get so mad and stalk the guy that sold his friend a (get out of jail card ) so to speak. I am sure she is hella pissed now, and ready to sue whoever leaked the story out to the press. If I were Starvos, I would be living at the clinic. hahahahah !

surprise, az. 2005

Tonight we went to the movie premiere for " Failure to Launch " and the place was soooo packed that we had no chance at getting a seat. Therefore, we decided to watch " When a Stranger Calls " and the movie was ok... I give it a 7 out of 10 being the best. I hope it doesn't sound bad to say that the movie is one of those movies you can just wait to hit on the DVD, but that is what i would say if someone asked me. We met some really cool people at the theatre and out on the streets. I want to thank all of you who read this and support The new 95.7 The Vibe.

3/6

Today was a great day on air, and a beautiful day in KC ! I have been here in KC for a week and a half, and it is already a ball! Beautiful as in 58 degrees and sunny... I found a cool day bed at a store in the Plaza area, and it is the bomb. We met some really cool people at Orlando's 21 tonight. Really cool people, great security, and a cool bartender that showed us some love. I am adding some Oscars news in my Entertainment Blog at www.ezstreetrecords.com/blogspot.htm George Clooney rules...... Our staff is coming together at 95.7 The Vibe and we are gearing for a winning staff all around the block. I guess the company has a point when they say.... " never in a hurry to get the wrong people " 

I miss my old home team in LA and Rosedale.... I guess I just miss the scenery and the whole bikini beach deal.... yeah yeah....

3/4

I am still in the production room working on new material. I just started a new show in KC, MO..... By the way, for all of you that read this stuff outside the KC area, you need to skip all the Dorthy and Toto jank..... It's not Kansas (the state)... It is Kansas City, Mo.  Just wanted to clear that up for all my friends in California that keep getting it twisted.

It is a moving in weekend so I am not out partying at all yet. My first week here moved real fast. We are going to hit up a few clubs tomorrow night. Perez Hilton, who is one of the better gossip writers in the world, checked in with me last week to let me know he was able to be on my show once a week. I am also trying to get Dana on my show from
www.danasdirt.com because her work is so tight. I will also be featured on Hollywood Hamilton's Rhythm Top 30 Countdown, which is heard all over the country on 200+ stations.

I am also going to be doing some private photo shoots with a few new models from Denver and Chicago. I will post a few pictures on here when they are complete.

Lastly, I went back to my old stomping grounds in Miami to visit friends and I stumbled onto a new hip hop group that I am featuring at
www.ezstreetrecords.com .... Ez Street Records is a free service that I set up to help young up and coming talent that I find throughout my career.

so cal sky


My phone keeps cutting out on me. I am so pissed.... every time I get an important call my battery goes whack. I met a cool girl here in KC named Christina, and every time we talk, my phone goes mental and cuts out. A sign ? Yeah, that I need to get a new phone, and this is happening to my phone just after my insurance expires with Sprint :(

I will add cool stuff on here in the future, right now I am getting ready to double back to a quiet spot in s new living spot and watch some American Idol footage from the guys and girls competition that took place this week. I suppose I should just say right now that Chris (guy) and Paris (girl) are the hottest so far. I also like Kathrine, But again, I think Paris has the skills.

2/22nd


rocky point, mexico

Today is my first real day in Kansas City. I am living in a hotel and I have gotten lost 50 times so far. I got lost going to work the first day and ended up late for my 1st meeting. That is bad news when you are late for the 1st meeting where your introduced. Ehhhhhh I was looking for a street that didn't even exist ( 40th street ) where some idiot told me to turn around. After calling my new boss, i learned that that there is NO 40th street.... that makes me want to smack the guy that gave me the directions. I bet he saw my out of state plates and thought.... i am going to f with this dude. 

I spent last week packing and then we went down to Rocky Point, Mexico to party it up one last time before leaving the wild west..... IE the picture above is one of the tightest places to party.....
