You always here that when your young you do many stupid things, some you can forget and other will stay with you for life. My life as a store owner, club DJ, and radio disc Jockey was quickly becoming a whirlwind of a adventure and I was not sure how I would handle all the excitement. Right before I left the record store in Lincoln Mall I met a women who was 10 years older than me that was a regular customer in my record store her name was Toni. Toni worked in JC Penny and at times would spend her lunch break in my store looking through music. Quickly we became friends and soon after we started to date and even though we were 10 years apart in age we found common ground in our music and our love for the outdoors. She was the first women I had ever dated who had her own place and even though she did not drive she always found a way to meet me where ever I was. I can remember her cooking some wonderful dinners and spending time talking with my father and she also had a love for grape kool aid such as I did. When my career at WJPC started to take off I found myself curious about all the freaky women who began to call me on the air and even though I had strong feelings for Toni I just felt that maybe the grass was greener on the other side ( NOT)In the months fallowing I found myself blowing off the dinners she had fixed just for me and our VCR movie dates because I wanted to stay out late and kick it. One afternoon Toni and I went to the store to get a few things for dinner and I can remember leaving my wallet in my car Toni told me to continue shopping and she would go get my wallet from the car. I soon realized that 15 minutes had went by and she had not returned so I went out to see what was keeping her and there she was sitting on my car looking at a picture of me and some HOOCHIE wrapped up all over me. It was a picture that I had taken at the club the night before and I had left it in my glove compartment. Toni did not say much she just cried and walked away. I knew I was wrong and even with her being about 3 miles from her home she turned her back on me and walked home. I live with that vision everyday of my life I can see her walking through the parking lot her heart broken and her feelings betrayed. Turns out the women I took the picture with was complete loser and the lesson I had to learn broke the heart of a wonderful women. I saw her about three years later and I told her how wrong I was and that I hope who ever she dates she is as good to him as she was to me. I have not seen her in years and if by some reason she reads this I hope she understands that I was young and STUPID and I hope she is happy. in 1994 i met a women who had me in awe as soon as I saw her she was just like I like them light, bright and sexy. I met her at a reggae party at Union Hall on the south side she was about six feet tall about 175lb with a body of a Goddess and the site of her just made me crazy she was a fan of Luke and loved to dance very sexy with that said the sad thing about our relationship was the fact she was from the projects and she never thought I took her serious because I lived in the suburbs. I can remember the first time she came out to the suburbs it was almost a culture shock and she just felt we came from two different worlds she walked into my parents home and my father almost passed out as she wore some very tall boots with a white leather outfit. She was the first person I told of my job with WGCI and we had dinner at a small restaurant on the north side I always loved her but for some reason we could not see our way to true love. We even took a road trip to Nashville TN when I bought my new truck and I still remember us eating in the waffle house. Today she lives in Florida with her husband and family and last I herd she was doing fine but for as short as our relationship was I will always remember how she taught me that some of the most wonderful,loving, and loyal people in the world maybe where you least expect them and to always keep a open mind. 1994 quickly became 1995 and the end of WJPC 950 AM………….

heartaches and heartbreaks is a part of love and differs as we mature.
I enjoyed reading this blog…I’m glad you told us how you became the DIZZ and you gave us the dish on some of the stuff that happens “after 12AM”! What a life, huh?! You are certainly blessed, DIZZ.
Dizz I was really enjoying what I read but most importantly I admire you for doing it (writing) I have been working on a couple fof books for some years but my procrastination has kept me from completing them. I really admire you opening up with your mistakes and regrets. What I read was interesting and by no means to be critical because I make mistakes and typos in my writing too, in fact that is what takes me so long. I am constantly checking, rechecking and correcting my writing which I am told you should just write and worry about the editing and proofing later.I only saw a few things like where it should have been woman it was women and vice versa.
Thanks for the inspiration

In reading you blogs I must admit you have a full and rich life, which is always a good thing. You should have asked me about the policy(lol) Although I worked at the warehouse my policy was. Who I met in the clud stayed in the club. No home number and no home address. I met in a designated place.
