ATTN. BELOVED READERS OF MARTINSAYS.COM:
so i typed up my most recent entry into my phone on the plane this morning with some serious haste while being overly nagged by 2 different flight attendants to “turn off all my electronic devices.” <caution: martinsays.com is getting ready and prepping to beat a dead horse with my personal disgruntled frequent flyer comments complaints and suggestions coming in my next entry. i’m fired up already.>…so if you already read it, it’s now edited and i added quite a bit…but you don’t have to re-read if you don’t wanna read me preach about positive human interaction and frequent misconceptions.
scroll below the pic in the last entry to check it out.
P.S. KINGSTON’S QUOTE OF THE DAY IS REAL. WE DISCUSSED IT TODAY. IT’S GOING DOWN.

my new boy sir kingston and i share bling.
last night sean and i (you know what? i hate those type proper english ways to word things. screw it. let’s start this fresh.) last night me and sean went live on twitter from his hotel room and my ass got handed to me in a freestyle battle. he put me in my place—in a giant jamaican pipe and smoked. burnt! if you didn’t see it, you missed out. last night taught me a lot about preconceived notions. i had heard that sean was a dickhead, and admittedly expected it myself. we had done shows before, but never got a chance to really even meet. i guess when you see a dude with an entourage and some seriously huge dudes rolling around wearing chains worth more than a car, you assume there are egos involved. wrong. great hang. good people. i suppose if your accessing someone who lives in the spotlight it’s more interesting/fun to talk trash rather than saying ” what a great guy!” …i get pretty hurt when I hear talk of me being cocky or mean. i am so humbled by the fact that we get the chance to do what we love, humbled by the fact that people listen, and i can’t wait to start this cycle. i feel reborn in a sense. i guess sometimes you need a good hang, a few laughs, and some real personal time to judge someone’s personality. it’s time put everyone on the same playing field and not let rushed first impressions influence my judgement. you guys should try that too. who knows? maybe good karma will come creepin and someone will give YOU the benefit of the doubt ;).
i’m stoked to have a new friend. it’s ON this christmas at the big radio shows. this time i’ll be bringing along my A game freestyle instead of my Z game. rematch.
quote of the day:
“collaboration coming on love drunk remix! kingston! boys like girls! get ready you know how we do! WAT A GWAAN!”

getting pretty for hot topic.
flying out tomorrow to oklahoma at 7:30am. had a nice day with the doc, picked up a new watch cause i obviously lost my old one, got introduced and had some great hang time with joey kramer from aerosmith (check the twitter pic!) and went out and bought his book. stoked to check it out. it seems like a heavy read. finally got a new batphone…and then immediately set my old blackberry bold on fire, threw it off a cliff, climbed down and stomped on it. then i spit on it. then i went and ate a feast in celebration of it’s demise.
…now i’m sitting here and i can’t figure out my new phone. FML.

BOYS LIKE GIRLS: back in the van.
video blog includes acoustic performances…including a sneak at a new song, typical blg shenanagans, a live radio interview and more…press play.
what a great little acoustic run. had so much fun riding in the van and hanging out at some of our favorite radio stations, seeing some of our most beloved fans and meeting some amazing new ones. i’m really starting to have fun editing videos…so if you like the updates, lucky you. more to come.
