Speak Out!
I wish to address the falsehoods and other innuendos that have been made about myself and another member of the Western Pennsylvania community. I will address the matter of Johnny and myself a bit further down but first I want to say something about someone I STILL consider my friend.... Miss Diana Ross.
In the last few years she, Diana, has been bashed for various reasons. She is loved by many, and is a very good performer, and better than me. She and I have had our differences over many issues, but even through that I still consider her my friend. Comments about her gastric bypass and current health issues are completely inexcusable! Shall we talk about the anal warts someone else has had removed? Is it in bad taste to attack someones health? I think it is. (MY OPINION). Going through a Gastric bypass is NOT AN EASY THING. It is a life changing ordeal. I can CERTAINLY sypmathize with her on that score. The by-pass does solve, sometimes temporarily, the issue of obesity but it does however open a mirad of doors to other problems. If you all recall the double seizure I experienced at Club 231 when it was still Illusions. Yes, that was a side effect of MY OWN GASTRIC BY-PASS.
I guess what I am trying to say, it is fine to attack someone on their performance, their behaviours when they are drunk or even their choice of hair color and clothing, but to attack the validy of someone's health issues are NONE of our business. (* Note to Diana, I miss you and am very sorry that you are having issues with your health when now should be the time for you to enjoy your new body.) The rest of you may or may not agree with me, but I wish her well, and hope to someday give her a heartfelt embrace that I feel is due her.
NOW, to the issue of John DeBartola and I. Yes,I was seen riding in his car. He is a friend of mine and a very nice person. As to the relationship that I have with him, well, lets just say... The man has a pair of the sexiest legs I've seen on a man in a LONG TIME but we are just friends. To rumor about this, when HE or I could be involved serisously with someone else and they would take these comments to heart, His and My hearts could be irrepairably broken by a few words written in someone's myspace. In other words, and spoken with all the Love and respect straight from my heart, LAY OFF!
Sincerely
