Another late night....



Hi Guys:

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Things have been busy, normal busy around here. Right now I am loungin late night style on the couch, wine, nice music, actually enjoying a solo moment in my private little space : )

GOD has been really great to me lately. I can easily say he has been "nice" but yet I want more, I always want more, but looking back at what I am about to write I realize he has blessed me tremendously although things might not be perfect.

So last Saturday I was hired to do some work at the LIVE EARTH NYC CONCERT here at Giant Stadium. Since this was my first time there I came a little early. While sitting in front of the stadium waiting for the rest of my team I happened to notice a man roll by in Benz, sitting in the back seat his head was sticking out the window
looking out the window as he was being driven by a chauffeur I presume. Being that I am always very conscious of my environment I saw him drive by but it was just a quick moment as I refocused my attention back on the chick I was talking to.

Not even five minutes passed before this same man walked upon and caught me off guard. He asked if we were going inside to the concert and we stated that we were working. He then said that he had a friend who was going to come with him but happened to get stuck in the Hamptons and so he has an extra ticket, on the floor, on the SECOND ROW!!!!! Now...... you ALREADY KNOW..hahahaha, I wa son that sooooo quick it wasn't even cute. He handed me the pass and told me to hurry up and come inside because soon his favorite Pink Floyd would be on. After he left I basically jumped up and down, screamed, and made a fool of myself before I composed myself and did my little gangsta stroll to the "special" entrance, gate B, where you accessed the FLOOR seats.

When I got in it was INSANE. There were so many people there. It was so surreal what happened because it was so fast. Not only the speed with which my life took a small detour but the fact that I actually didn't even want to go to Jersey in the first place but yet I still dragged myself out there, and look what GOD did for me, $350 concert ticket!

As soon as I stepped on the floor I randomly ran into Shaheem Reid my friend from MTV News. I briefly told him what happened but my mind was so blown, between calling my mom and telling her I couldn't even process it all. As I walked to the complete FRONT ROW on the floor I ran into Adam, the guy who gave me the ticket. He later told me that he asked GOD to give the ticket to someone who wanted, needed, and deserved it. When he rolled up in that Benz, guess who he saw waiting patiently for that blessing.......ME. (Always waiting for you GOD, always...). We later talked about more things and had a really great time. I know this might all seem a little weird and maybe I shouldn't trust random people but after living in P.O., Seattle, MA, FLA, Spain & NYC I think I might know a little something, I am still learning but I am a big girl.

The funniest part of the whole ordeal is that I somehow managed to make it on INTERNATIONAL TV. I wasn't even supposed to be there (of course I was in GOD's plan) but yet when my cousin Kanye came on I was having one of those moments and the camera happened to pan to me during his performance and BOOM, there I was acting a complete FOOL...hahahaha. Next thing I know I am checking my email and I notice all these messages on my myspace so I got to see why I have all of a sudden have blown up in the matter of a couple of hours and it is everyone hitting me up to tell me they saw me on TV..HA! Here is me acting LOONEY on the Kanye perfomance, timecode 2:07 is the exact spot (:P)


Here is some exclusive video I got on my camera:

Kanye "Touch the Sky"
Alicia Keys "What's Going On"
Alicia Keys NEW SONG "Love"

There was also a carnival there at the same time which was really cute.




Somewhere in that process there was the screening for a film I worked on a while ago called My Brother's Keeper. Being that almost everything I did I have yet to see I was really grateful that Tony Clomax the director of this film shared the final product with us and even has a gallery from the screening party if you look into his photo gallery. I will upload my clips of the movie when I have time to do the editing (really soo I hope : ). There is also a trailer of the film on his page.

Before I close out I want to add that this past week I worked a wonderful charity event featuring Donna Summers. The event was decorated so beautifully, the food, the people. It was a very nice evtn in Oyster Bay, Long Island, NYC and I am grateful that I had the opportunity to be there.

PEACE!

Love Always,

DJ
