Dear Liver,
Hey, I know that we’re not on the best of terms right now, so I thought I’d drop you a line to see how everything was going. First off I do want to apologize for this weekend. I know I’m not a kid anymore and you, along with stomach and brain, have “gently” let me know that our prime partying days are behind us. I feel like every time we hang out and get “loose” it takes us longer and longer to get back on speaking terms and I think that’s partially my fault. I say partially cause Brain is a really convincing and it’s hard to say no to that guy. But I’m not writing you to point fingers, I’m trying to tell you I want you back. I swear I’ll change, I promise I won’t keep you out to all hours of the night, keeping you busy filtering this and that. But we had some good times right?? I mean last year’s Mexico trip was pretty fun, and how could you forget Century Club of ’07?
Just try to remember the good times huh?? I don’t think I can go on living without you, it feels like you’re a part of me and I wouldn’t know what to do without you. So please baby come back I promise it will be nothing but Spinach, Garlic, and Wheat germ from here on out.
Love,
Chris “you’re not Chopped in my eyes” D.

Two greatest words in the English Language
De-Fault. So I received a call yesterday from Steve, a representative for Karaoke Star Magazine, and he had some exciting news. Steve explained that the finalist in the Standards and Broadway category had a previous engagement and couldn't make it to the competition. Since I was runner up, Steve wanted to know if I would be interested in competing in the Finals. I told him I would have to think about it and would get back to him.
I've been in a weird mood lately and didn't feel like "performing," but I wanted some advice before totally turning down the opportunity. I decided to call my local go to guy, Frank, to see what he had to say on the subject.
Frank explained that if you see an opportunity it's your job to take it. He also said that just because you feel crappy (not the exact word he used) today, you might not feel crappy (again not the exact word he used) on Sunday, then you'll really kick yourself for not taking the opportunity.
I thanked Frank for his sage like advice and called Steve back and told him to count me in.
I'll be performing this Sunday at the Orleans main ballroom at 4pm. Don't know if it's a free event, but if it is, you should come down and cheer me on.
Still don't know what song I'm going to sing but I know it won't be anything by old blue eyes. I might bust out some Bobby Darin.
Wish me luck.

What's in a name?
On Wednesday I was invited to be a guest on the Alan Stock radio show here in Vegas to discuss the proposed banning of the dreaded "M" word that's Midget to all you people out of the know.
If you're not familiar with what's going on in the news I'll give you a recap. NBC aired a episode of Celebrity, I use the term Celebrity loosely, Apprentice where they were throwing the "M" word around like it was going out of style.
A few Little People (appropriate term btw) got up in arms about the episode and started a letter writing campaign to NBC as well as the Federal Communications Commission.
Alan Stock, much like most of you giants out there, didn't see what the big deal was about the word. His Board Op, Nick Steele, explained that the "m" word was just as bad a to a little person as the "n" word was for black people.
Alan was intrigued by this and Nick told him he knew a real live LP (that's me) and said that he would be willing to come on air and school the thousands of uninformed people in Vegas.
So I went on Wednesday morning to talk about the history and try to shed some light on a very sensitive subject. I'm sad to say that I wasn't as prepared as i like but I thought I Championed the cause well.
Of course there were some people that didn't understand why the term was frowned upon and thought that "we" were being over sensitive and what about free speech and all that stuff?!?
But a journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step. So that was me stepping =)
