MISERY LOVES COMPANY

MISERY LOVES COMPANY


A lot has taken place since the team decided to go our separate ways. On Wednesday, January, 16th after our show segment titled "Love, Romance & Marriage in Interracial Relationships" on “Lip Service Radio” it was agreed by all parties involved that PB should be dismissed from the team due to disrespecting a caller that just so happen to be another BTR host of another show (Am I My Brother Keeper). He was kind enough to call into our show providing his support, personal experience and educated opinion on the topic and did not deserve to be disrespected and so rudely treated.

Prior to PB being dismissed he found humor in sharing with the team during a conference call that he had set up a fake MySpace page under “Krazy Daisy’s” name in which he himself had sent numerous of derogatory messages to me in the hopes to create friction between us wanting to turn J’ Hustle and I against Krazy Daisy out of spite towards Krazy Daisy because she had kicked him off her show. This information all made sense to me being that I had received several messages from Krazy Daisy in the past and a few of those messages were sent from a new page in the form of an add requests that was under her name as well. I did not approve that page and instead denied and blocked it. With PB planting seeds as he does best, all of the missing pieces of the puzzle suddenly fell into place; so many times PB made the attempt to get me to maliciously respond to the things Krazy Daisy had “supposedly” said about me on her show. I honestly didn’t care enough to go to her BTR page to see if the things being conveyed to me by PB were true so I could only go by hearsay and I’m not one to react on that alone. It was all so obsolete and childish to me.

I should add that J’ Hustle verbally attacked PB after our segment that evening. Needless to say, PB didn’t take that lightly. It should also be noted that when J’ Hustle realized PB had apologized over the air for his actions towards (Am I My Brother Keeper) J’ Hustle too apologized to PB for over reacting. Unfortunately, PB wasn’t willing to accept his apology and allowed his ego to get in the way of the decisions he would begin to make. Since his dismissal the team has received many disturbing and threatening telephone calls individually from PB & his 19 year old girlfriend Amanda AKA: Papergirl. We have all been talked about time after time on "OUTOFSERVICE" in the attempt of discredit our characters. Predictably PB ran back to the host of “OUTOFSERVICE” yes, PB ran back to the host in desperate need to be a part of something and yes the host welcomed him back with open arms because of not having any original ideas of her own and in desperate need of new show "material". In the hopes to use his bitterness & dislike towards being dropped from the team as "topics" she had him speak as a "special guest" along with his protégé’ “Papergirl”. To think I actually gave this girl the benefit of the doubt in having her own mind. I was proven wrong and stand corrected as of to date.

I have even been falsely accused of trying to turn Amanda against her mentor PB via email...wow. I find this accusation to be ironic due to the fact that it was Amanda that actually contacted me via telephone @3:30am the morning after PB had acted a fool during the show on Jan 16th. She and King Mac called me to inform me that PB had contacted both of them giving them an ultimatum. They were either to turn against me & J’ Hustle or he would cut the two of them off completely having nothing to do with them. Amanda repeatedly told me that I needed to cut him from the team because he was negative energy and that he had planned to do us all dirty. She expressed wanting to be part of the team and shared her confusion as to why he had acted the way he did during the show. She described him as being “crazy” but admitted to being in love with him, she was very upset with PB not taking any of her calls because she had told him that she didn’t want to turn against us. Apparently he had told her not to call him back until she made a decision in his favor prior to hanging hung up on her. In all fairness and wanting to give PB the benefit of the doubt I had told both Amanda & King Mac that I didn’t want us to make impulsive decisions under the circumstances because I felt PB was intoxicated the previous night when acting up and I believed that the substance had gotten the best of him. I also stated that I was not feeling well and exhausted by all the drama and wanted to give PB the opportunity to retract the things that he said being under the influence and wouldn’t make any decisions until we all talked on better terms. Later that day PB was in the chat box publicly disrespecting not only me but the whole team by making threats & calling us out of our names. I did not take a liking to his behavior because not only had I shown him nothing but respect up until the last moment that I spoke to him but I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in fixing what had took place only for him to turn around and disrespect me. I was done with PB at that point. The decision was made by all of us as a team that he was cut from Lip Service Radio. We did not want to take the chance of him disrespecting our callers again giving Lip Service Radio a bad name. He was not to be trusted. It didn’t take long for Amanda to follow after him and not only was I not surprised but I supported her in her decision by sending her an email letting her know that I fully understood and wished her the best. Since then, I have received several tasteless voice messages from PB & Amanda. Again, I was not surprised however I was highly disappointed only because I had hopes in her standing strong behind the words that she freely expressed to me and King Mac during the call that she and King Mac made to me early am the morning of Jan 17th. A lot was said that early morning out of Amanda’s mouth and in the end she ate her words. It goes back to young girls & women not knowing their worth, how disappointing.

My social skills and ladylike ways have been highly mistaken as a weakness. The cordial mannerism I choose to keep is a trait I proudly carry as a woman. I’ve been accused of being “scared” and “afraid” of certain individuals only because I have chosen not to respond to the insults that have been thrown at me via telephone messages, chat & live on other BTR shows by PB, Amanda and other hosts of BTR . Make no mistake, I fear no man or woman we all breathe the same air. I’m a grown woman, not a child in fear of being put on time out. After all, how hard is it to make threats via blogtalkradio, telephone and chat especially being thousands of miles apart? We all know it’s been proven time after time that those who bark loud have no bite; it’s the quiet ones that have more bite in the end taking any situation as an example. Making threats over the telephone is not the definition of bravery in my book.

I refuse to accept any of PB & Amanda calls; I have more important things to do oppose to sitting on the phone exchanging insults & threats. My time is too valuable and I have more productive things to do with my time. Not to mention it was PB and J’ Hustle that exchanged distasteful words at the end, me and PB did not have words. He has J’ Hustle’s phone number yet he continues to dial my number instead leaving messages for J’ Hustle. It’s easier for him to avoid contacting J’ Hustle directly making the attempt to use me as the middle man. I will not relay any messages and refuse to be used as the middle man. I’ve never dealt with individuals having such an elementary & low class of mentality. This is all new to me however; without further ado this shall pass. A woman of real beauty smiles in trouble and gathers strength from distress.

Let it be noted: Regardless of all the name calling, threats and distasteful comments made towards me I kept my “Short Story” real. I made no changes after it was written long before PB being dropped from Lip Service Radio. I kept it real giving credit where credit is due. One has nothing to do with the other and that’s keeping it “REAL”.

It is done

The Truth About "OutofService" & Lip Service Radio Revealed (Chapter 10 Part 2 of 2)

Chapter 10

“THE” CONFERENCE CALL...Moving on!

(Part Two)

On Wednesday, January 9, 2008 we all discovered that the team was short one member. Sukari and I once again came through for the host, holding it down for her during the segment titled “Women & Fertility”. Although the host held a sarcastic tone towards each member of the team and sometimes even calling a few team members names in the chat room Sukari and I both held our head high throughout the segment. As unbelievable as it may sound, the host threw cheap shots at each one of us starting with PB. On this particular night, the host seemed to be more interested in repeating derogatory comments being posted about PB in the chat box. It was evident that she was seeking to stir up drama rather than participating in the topic itself. I guess it was all for the ratings.

During the segment King Mac and I were exchanging text messages. We both were taken back by how the host was acting towards us. The host verbally attacked Sukari by making a very disrespectful & foul comment towards her as we discussed abortion. To no surprise, Sukari finished the segment without returning the insult, now that’s class.

Attempting to break the ice, toward the closing of the show I took the opportunity to change gears and reduce some of the friction in the air by announcing the verdict on whether or not King Mac, PB, Sukari & Amanda were going to be our official hosts for “Knockout Tuesday”. The host immediately pushed back by saying that the “Jury” had not come to a verdict and that King Mac & PB were still on “time out”. Apparently, she had other plans. It was evident that she was pulling “Rank” and we were all subject to her authority. Over the air, she wanted it to be known that she called all the shots. At the last minute, the host backed out of the agreemement without discussing her decision with the team prior to going live.

If you've been kind enough to follow my truth from chapter 1 you will agree that the host had every opportunity available to express her honest opinion in the matter plenty of times prior to the segment that night. However, she chose not to be forthcoming but rather submissively went along with the plans deceiving us all. At any rate, we ended the segment on a friendly note and we all agreed to jump on our regularly scheduled conference call after the show. Let truth be told, I discovered DURING THE SHOW that the host had changed her BTR password. At that very moment all of my speculations about her intentions were immediately confirmed. Her intent to renege on our agreement had been exposed and I had to take that unfortunate news to the conference call. I had been chosen to break the news to the rest of the team without any time to rehearse.

As each team member beeped into the conference call I shook my head with dissapointment. Although I greeted each member I remained quiet waiting for the host to join in on the call. After about 10 minutes she finally joined the call and the team instantly began taking turns expressing their disappointment; the show left a sour taste in all of our mouths to say the least and none of us were pleased with how we were treated during the show. In all fairness I asked that the host not be attacked all at once and recommended that we all took turns speaking our minds. J’ Hustle begin by letting it be known that he did not appreciate her calling him names and instead of the host being big enough to apologize she actually made the attempt to justify the name calling. King Mac was next, again she threw insults which caused everyone to speak at once. I spoke up and asked that everyone calm down; I candidly asked the host why she wasted our time in leading us on when she could have easily been honest from the get go. She played Ms. Simpleton by saying she never agreed to give the crew a night to host. In shock we all gasp and fell into laughter. We were all flabbergasted after hearing her deny her approval on the subject. Looking back now, we should have all agreed to dissagree as I noticed a pattern in the way the host was responding to everyne's questions. Refusing to give a straight and forward answer she tip toed around the questions provoking each team member by throwing insults towards certain individuals. It became clear that the issue would not resolve and the host was looking for a way out but didn't have the experience to pull it off in the tight situation.

To no surprise, PB spoke up by telling the host that he felt it was real shady of her to lead us all on etc., Amanda not wanting to rationalize or reason with the host verbally tore into her using her mouth as a weapon; her words being as sharp as a razor! To our surprise the host actually got sarcastic with Amanda AKA: “Papergirl” and toyed with her by antagonizing her even more so causing Amanda to attack even harder! I made countless efforts to hold my composure throughout the conference call as the chaos esculated. My ears were ringing and we were getting nowhere fast. Although I was well aware of her intentions I still expected the call to be civil but instead, hopes of remaining a team slowly declined. In the end, it would be the insult directed towards J’ Hustle that would seal the teams fate. Needless to say, I had heard enough and I was threw with playing games with the host. I said my final piece to the host and I disconnected the conference by hanging up!

King Mac immediately sent me a text message saying “Wow that was crazy!” I responded by saying “Yep”. He sent another text message saying that he and the team wanted to call back into the conference number asking that we all speak. I agreed to have the conference. Honestly at this point I was exhausted and very disappointed in the direction that the call went because I was hoping to resolve the issue and not end it on bad terms. If all of us going our seperate ways was going to be the end result I wanted to do so on good terms. We all jumped back on a conference call allowing each member the opportunity to vent in expressing their bitter opinions on what just took place. While being upset in the heat of the moment J' Hustle decided that he was going to share a pic of the host by sending it to King Mac & PB via MySpace message since they both asked the two of us out of curiosity what she looked like many times in the past. After all she maliciously disrespected him by calling him names and posted derogatory comments about him in the chat box. Amanda feeling left out also requested the pic be sent to her as well. I must be honest in saying that I was not at first in favor or agreement with his choice of sharing the pic with others, however J' Hustle is an adult and responsible for his own decisions. Where the pic emerged after that point on was out of his hands and was no longer in his control. PB and I stayed quiet at the beginning of the call in disbelief; I think the two of us were the most disappointed in the host. The others didn’t seem to be surprised in her behavior; however the two of us were in shock to say the least. I started the conference off by apologizing to the team and shared with them that I wanted to take a break from BTR for a short period of time because I had been putting my other projects aside not prioritizing my business appropriately which was somewhat effecting my productivity. King Mac immediately spoke up asking that I not take time off and expressed wanting to move forward as planned. At that moment PB seemed to have woken out of a deep sleep and started bad mouthing the host calling her every name in the book; as we all know PB is very verbal when referencing others and the host was no exception. He agreed with King Mac and asked that we move forward as well without the host of “OUTOFSERVICE”. Sukari and Amanda also shared the same interest in moving forward with our original plans. We all agreed that we would keep our original ideas and move forward with the birth of “Lip Service Radio”. I told the team that I would move forward under the terms and conditions that we would all stand strong as a team keeping an open line of communication and respect towards one another and told King Mac & PB that they couldn’t be falling out one day and not wanting to work together the next. If we were going to move forward with “Lip Service Radio” via blogtalkradio I wanted it to be taken seriously and we all needed to agree that we would not disrespect our callers and not talk over each other during segments. We all agreed to meet the terms and conditions ensuring that Lip Service Radio kept protocol & structure. The team at our high of excitement stayed on the conference until 7am PST/10am EST the following morning. Yes, the following morning! We all joked about it the next day that we all spent the night together. We laughed, we vented, J'Hustle fell asleep and woke up, we all bonded. I wish you could have been there to feel what I felt.

After getting some rest that morning on Thursday, January 10, 2008 it was decided later that afternoon to have our first show as “Lip Service Radio” segment titled “Sleeping with the Enemy” going live @ Midnight EST/9pm PST giving us the opportunity to briefly discuss what had taken place between “OUTOFSERVICE” & “Lip Service Radio”. The team agreed that we would not go into too much detail on the air and instead have our experience be told in a “Short Story” form allowing listeners to read the details at their leisure. King Mac and I quickly set up our BTR page and prepared for our fist segment. The rest is history.

The moment I disconnected the conference call was the same moment I cut the host off completely. Once I hung up I immediately deleted her as a "friend" on MySpace and moved full speed ahead. A lesson learned indeed!

The Truth About "OutofService" & Lip Service Radio Revealed (Chapter 10 Part 1 of 2)

As I promised, Chapter 10 will be the last chapter. I have seperated chapter 10 into two parts for your convenience.

Allow me to express that this trial, in its entirety, has been the most emotionally draining experience I’ve ever been through. Yes, it all is very unfortunate. However, I have once again been reminded how critical it is to surround yourself with people "at your ambition level and above." While we may have the best intentions, I don't think it always comes across that way. It can very easily come across as arrogant, wanting to be in control when in reality, you're only trying to mentor and bring light to the minds of those who may be living in darkness. Oprah Winfrey said it best, "If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think."

Good luck to those of you who find it difficult to think beyond a 5 mile radius. Let's begin.

“THE” CONFERENCE CALL...Moving on!

(Part One)

It was on Tuesday January 8, 2008 when we all staged a “Take Over” of “OUTOFSERVICE”. After the show the team (including the host) jumped on a conference call. We were all very pleased with how the show went and once again discussed the details of how we would announce the new addition “Knockout Tuesday” and our new “Theme Song” for the following night scheduled. The host seemed to be somewhat disinterested in being on the call when she asked repulsively, “what is the purpose of having these conference calls, we should just save everything for the show?”. It was explained to her that the purpose of the conference calls is to openly communicate and discuss matters needed to be discussed off air in able to stay on the same page as a team. The team was pretty excited about the up & coming show, but the host seemed to lack excitement and got off the call sooner than the rest of the team.

Before we ended the conference call we all agreed to touch bases via conference call the following day before the show was scheduled to air. On Wednesday January 9, 2008 I sent a message via MySpace to the host at 12:22pm asking if she wanted to jump on a conference call prior to our scheduled show and once again stressed the issue that “IF” Knockout Tuesday was something that she had concerns about then it should be openly discussed in the conference call before going live. When checking my messages at 2pm I noticed that she read my message. Expecting her to reply shortly after noticing that she had read the message I anxiously waited to receive her response in the hopes that we could agree on an appropriate time to schedule the conference in plenty of time before we were scheduled to go live. The other members of the team touched bases with me numerous of times throughout the day to ask what time the conference would take place. Not being able to give them a time for the simple reason that I had not heard back from the host I explained the situation. Please bare with me. Nevertheless, we all decided to jump on the conference call at approximately 7:45pm PST despite not hearing back from the host. A few members freely voiced their opinions about the host acting a little "funny" about the whole ordeal. We all concluded that perhaps she wasn’t too excited about being a team. Afterall, we were 45 minutes away from going live with no topic and no host. Getting extremely nervous we decided to jump online and check her BTR page to see if she had posted a segment. To our surprise she had a topic “Women & Fertility” listed. Please take note that the previous week Sukari and I went into discussing the subject on fertility after King Mac had mentioned sperm not being able to live beyond x amount of days. Funny right? The host briefly asked both Sukari and I to discuss the topic in the near future as a segment however a set date was never agreed upon. At any rate, we jumped online and did our research on the spot so that the two of us could speak more intellegently on the subject.

Although my other efforts failed I made yet another attempt to call the host. At this point we were 30-minutes from going live. I checked my messages on Myspace in the hopes to have received a reply from the host; to my surprise she had sent something @8:21pm and I quote “Hey Titi, What time is the conference?” I was taken a back with the fact that it took her 6 1/2 hours to respond. I immediately picked up the phone to contact her. With the team on my land line I used my cell phone to call the host. When she answered, I asked her to call into the conference number and she promised to do so immediately. After waiting 10-minutes now 20 minutes before we are scheduled to go live we all were still waiting. The team urged me to call her again. This time, she picked up the line very irritated and in fact said that I “woke her up”. Confused, I asked how she could be asleep when not only did I just receive a message from her via MySpace, but I had just spoken to her 10 minutes prior. With what appeared to be a little sarcasm she proceeded to tell me that she had a full time job and that she needed to rest. It was evident that she had no intentions on participating in the conference call so I let it be. Afterall, we were ruffly 15 minutes from going live. The team stayed on the conference call in disbelief. We were all a little confused to say the least. The confusion we all seemed to have in common slowly became clarity in what turned out to be our last show as a 7 member team.

The Truth About "OutofService" & Lip Service Radio Revealed (Chapter 9)

Chapter 9

SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE:

I contacted the host a couple of days after the initial conference call that took place with both King Mac & PB to give her heads up on the idea and to inquire how she felt about it. To no surprise, her and Paperboy had already spoke briefly about the idea during one of their personal conversations. The two of them spoke frequently offline. Sadly enough, I could never get her to contact me to discuss plans for future segments, guest speakers, etc. At any rate, I asked her to share her thoughts and also asked that she be completely honest with me when stating how she felt about giving both King Mac & PB their own night along with Sukari & Amanda (Papergirl). It was expressed that if she wasn’t cool with the idea then we could leave the show as is however a format was desperatley needed. The show was becoming very mundane.

It's no secret that King Mac, PB, Amanda & Sukari made a huge contribution to the show therefore giving all of them their own night would only compliment "OutofService". Together, King Mac, PB, Amanda and Sukari are BTR's untouchables. After covering the details about what was soon to become “Knockout Tuesday” she immediately expressed being “ok” with the idea however, made it very clear to me that she didn’t trust King Mac & PB with the password to manage the switchboard. I suggested that one of us control the switchboard for them afterall, we were a team and we would still be on the show along with them; they were only to host & produce their own topics but it was ultimately a team effort. Contrary to popular belief, it was equally agreed that Tuesday nights would be granted to the other team members.

From that point on there were several conference calls made to plan, brainstorm and discuss future segments and potential guest. For whatever reason, the host failed to attend most of these conference calls. It should be noted that other than the initial conference call, none of the calls moving forward from this point on took place late afternoon but rather late nights. At any rate, she had clearly agreed to give King Mac & PB a night being Tuesdays nights.

During one of our conference calls in preparation of how we would announce “Knockout Tuesday” and the new “official” team members PB suggested that we stage a “TAKE OVER”. Being that he & the host successfully took over “The King Mac Show” he wanted to duplicate the act. We all discussed it and agreed, however I recommended that it be a friendly take over and out of respect giving credit where credit was due we would announce granting them “Knockout Tuesday”. The host was very much in agreement with the idea of King Mac & PB staging taking over her show. We all discussed the details and agreed that we would go through with the friendly takeover show scheduled on Tuesday, January 8, 2008 then the following show on Wednesday, January 9, 2008 we would make the announcement that King Mac & PB was in fact granted their own “Knockout Tuesday” night effective immediately Tuesday January 15, 2008.

Yes, not only was the host an accomplice with PB in the “TAKE OVER” of “The King Mac Show” but she was very much involved in the take over of her very own show as well!

that is not the point a**a...how many times have you allowed the drama to go on & on. it's not about losing interest in a topic or something that someone said, it's about setting the stage for the show longevity wise. i mean honestly what audience are you shooting for? no one over the age of 30 is going to want to listen to ***SERVICE or call in if it's known for having screaming matches only the very young & immature crowd will be interested. if that's what you're shooting for than i understand but my vision is a lot BIGGER and more prosperous as far as future ratings. i've been in the entertainment industry for sometime now and i fully understand how drama brings an audience however it's not the type of audience or element that i choose to associate with or be linked to. i'm too grown for all that and life is too short.

i fully understand "ratings" however, how many times do we need to listen to mac, paperboy and everyone else carry on about the same ole crap going back & forth? all the shows sound alike. i'm sure there are folks out there that love the drama but i'm simply bored with it and choose not to be a part of it. ***SERVICE should live up to it's name by aiming strictly for being known as the grown & sexy show. catering to the drama that is on all the other shows is not standing out from the rest and makes us no different. i'm sure that's why gary doesn't even call in anymore because it's child-splay...i have no doubt his time is more
valuable.

i'm not knocking your choice of feeding into the drama, if that's what rocks your boat then more power to you, however i'm not turned on by it so if the shows going to be about drama then it's probably best for me to bow out gracefully. honestly by allowing callers to disrespect & carry on about nonsense it sounds as if we have no control over ***SERVICE.

Are We Living Martin Luther King's Dream or His Nightmare

Today is the birthdate of Martin Luther King Jr. There couldn't be a better time to discuss Dr. King and his dream.

Martin Luther King spoke of equality, unity, freedom and justice during a turbulent time in America. Before Black Entertainment Television, before Oprah Winfrey became a billionaire, before Jesse Jackson first ran for The Democratic Nomination in 1984 and now Barack Obama.

However, with racism still prevalent in America as reflected in Jena, Louisiana where three white students hung nooses from a tree at Jena High School after a black student asked permission from a school administrator to sit under a tree we ask the question;

Are we Living Martin Luther King's Dream or His Nightmare?
