MS SPOTLIGHT: THE ALMOST M&G WEEK

We wrap up the Almost M&G Week, with Diddy.
Enjoy!!





What are your other MS aliases, in any?
PDiddy, Diddy, Patrick, TPFNAD (The Poster Formerly Known As Diddy), Asian Wannabe Rapper 'lil Wang', many more…currently ‘Oran Juice Jones’. An homage to the singer that put down some of the funniest words to wax ever recorded.

'silly rabbit, trix is made for kidz….didn't you know that??? You without me is like cornflakes without the milk!' – Da Juice



Where did you grow up and where are you living now?
Grew up in Indy and live there now! I spent 3 fun bachelor years in Atlanta after college. It was a great experience. *sheds tear*

Besides chatting up on MS all day, what type work do you do?
Information Systems Manager for the Indianapolis Airport Authority…..that's a long title to say that I sit on my butt all day and tell other people what to do….and from time to time attend meetings when not on MS.
Word on the street is you're T-baby's manager. When is she dropping a new album? I heard she was in the studio with Rick Ross working on a remix.
I’ve been trying to milk T-baby’s 15 minutes of fame for as long as possible. Look for some endorsements (T-baby electronic thermometer that plays ‘it’s so coooold in the D’ whenever the temperature drops below 32 degrees) and a guest judge appearance on American Idol (T-baby will help idol wannabees with their stage presence and hood cred when they perform hits from ghetto fabulous AI winner Fantasia).

Do you have any hobbies?
Is weightlifting a hobby? Iowno, but I try to stay fit to counteract the symptoms of old age. I like playing poker too….both kinds (hee hee). For real doe, I enjoy Texas Hold 'em, and my goal is to play in a World Series of Poker event this summer.
Would you wear your argyle socks and silver sequined speedos (w/the MS logo on the butt) if you made it to the featured table?
LOL….Sure, I mean I’d wear anything to shed more light on MS! I’d even wear a MS t-shirt with a screen print image of a button straining to hold a tiiiight coat together….with a caption that read: ‘Never Give Up!’


Are you single or married? Any children (including pets)?
Married *pauses* happily. Yeah, I had to think, but I'm really content. So far, things have gone according to plan, and with a lil' pdiddy on the way, I couldn't be happier.

Did you dream last night? If yes, what was it about?
Nope. I don't usually dream unless I leave the tv on, and then my dreams seem to follow whatever was on at that moment. *mental note….leave tv on playboy channel tonight*

What do you fear?
Losing my wife. Yes, I'm a big sap! Seriously, she made a conscious choice to be with me, so losing her would be a reflection on me. And, if you haven't noticed….I think highly of myself. *pops collar*




Where do you want to be in 6 years?
On the side lines watching my boy play sports. I will probably try my hand at something entrepreneurial (after the recession), just to give myself time to be with him.
A business? What type? May I suggest selling dook cozies at Peter's(my male strip club). After the recession, the adult entertainment business will be booming!!
I know dook cozies are all the rage on MS. I just don’t know what the market for them is outside of the annual Rhundu calendar spread. I imagine I would charge more for a used one…..what?!

Where were you last night and what were you doing?
Usually Wednesday nights are my poker nights, and I woulda been out the house. I'm still recovering from surgery now, so I was at the crib talking to my wife about the economy. Then I had to get into this contraption that moves my knee up and down and helps the healing process. I think I fell asleep watching a nature show and dreamt I was swallowed by a whale…..I woke up at 3 panicking 'cause I was wrapped up in the sheets…..lol. *that's not true….but no one will notice it conflicts with my earlier answer*

One word to describe yourself.
Charming

When is the last time you cried?
A little over a year ago.
Why? You don't have to answer unless you want to.
Ok….it wasn't crying, but my eyes watered up. I was at my wits end dealing with my brother who was basically homeless, and didn't have any direction in his life. My frustrations with his situation and trying to come up with a solution seemed hopeless 'cause of his life choices. The whole conversation was tense and emotional (that's a girl term), but I eventually convinced him to move in with me. I started to tear up during that ordeal……maybe it was 'cause I had to tell my newlywed wife, 'guess who's coming for dinner and staying til January of '09'.

If you could eat one last meal, what would it be?
Crab cake appetizer, Caeser Salad *hold the anchovies*, Bottle of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay, NY Strip Medium Rare, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Creamed Corn, Collard Greens (it's my last meal!), and Key Lime Pie!

If you were stranded on a deserted Island, which book and music CD would you like to have?
This is tough….I'd probably take the bible so I could keep some semblance of faith, and a music cd???...um, 2 Live Crew's 1989 'As Nasty As They Wanna Be' album………'Me So Horny' would be my theme song and on constant rotation!

Is there anything about you that might surprise people?
I am very reserved and respectful in person. LOL. Now, crazy thoughts always run through my head, but I really only act on them when I'm with my wife or closest friends. In college I was considered standoffish/conceited…wifey was quite surprised by my 'pdiddy' persona when I finally opened up. She's been trying to put me back ever since!


And finally, Lipton's 10 Questions:

If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
Let me take you to your mom. She's been waiting to see you for a long time.
