Wow Where do I start?.. Well for my likes,Motorcycles,
Bowling(Yeah, I roll 300's) and Pool are my sports. I am
a father of 2 girls, who are completely the reason why I breathe.. My girls
have inspired me to be the best in life at all things, not from the moment they
were born, but from the moment they were conceived. Being a dad is the quintessential
favorite part of my life. I also have a fascination with rescue and law
enforcement. I was hired as a full-time fire rescuer the same week I was hired
as an on call (not even part-time) radio personality. It’s obvious that
I chose radio, and it indeed has been good to me, more so than I am to it.
Radio broadcasting has always been my passion and was ultimately birthed
into me by my late father who worked in radio for almost 50 years. So I
guess you can say I got it honestly. I can truly say that I am blessed beyond
measure to have such a great career, which allows me to experience so much the
average person will probably never do or see. I am truly grateful to God for
this dream now reality lifestyle that I am blessed to have...To Him be The Glory...
The Father, Teacher & Mentor The Hero... RICHARD EARL PEGUE JR.....
YOU TOLD ME YOUR WERE PROUD TO HAVE ME AS YOUR SON, BUT I AM EVEN MORE PROUD TO STILL CALL YOU MY FATHER..
TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER, HOW I MISS HIM SO. I ONLY HOPE A PRAY TO BE ABLE TO LIVE UP TO A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF YOUR LEGACY. YOU TAUGHT ME THE WORLD IN YOUR OWN WAY, FROM YOUR VIEW POINT, WHICH HAD NO LIMITS. YOU ALLOWED ME THE APPRECIATION TO WORK FOR MY OWN, YET YOU HANDED ME THE SKILL AND KNOW HOW BY ALLOWING ME TO WATCH YOU BE AMAZING. AT THE AGE OF 6 YEARS OLD, I KNEW I WANTED TO WALK IN YOUR SHOES. THEY STILL REMAIN TO BE BIG SHOES TO FILL. I REMEMBER WHEN YOU ASKED ABOUT SOMETHING I DID OVER THE AIR, AND YOU TOLD ME HOW IMPRESSED YOU WERE, AND HOW YOU WANTED TO BUY ME A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAIGN TO CELEBRATE IT. THAT MEANT THE WORLD TO ME. NOT ONLY WAS I PLEASING TO THE WORLD'S GREATEST RADIO PERSONALITY/ MUSIC HISTORIAN, BUT I WAS WELL PLEASING IN THE EYES OF MY FATHER, LIKE JESUS WAS TO THE HEAVENLY FATHER. BECAUSE OF THAT, I KNOW I'VE DONE WELL. I'VE GOTTEN THE THUMBS UP FROM SO MANY WHO HAVE CONTINUED TO PAVE THE WAY FOR US NEWCOMERS, LIKE IRENE, RAMONE, GLEN COSBY, JOE SOTO, DOUG BANKS, RICK PARTY, TROI TYLER, EFFFIE ROLPHE, AND SO MANY MORE PEOPLE I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE TO WORK WITH, BUT WHAT THEY SEE IS YOU, NOT ME. SO FOR THAT I THANK YOU DAD. I ONCE SAID TO YOU, THAT GROWING UP I WAS A SPOILED CHILD, YOU CORRECTED ME AND TOLD ME I WASN'T SPOILED, BUT WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. YES, YES I WAS. I LOVE MY KIDS BETTER BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE FOR ME, SO THANK YOU DAD. THANK YOU FOR BEING EXACTLY THE FATHER I NEEDED TO HELP ME BECOME THE MAN I AM. IT IS A PRIVILEGE AND AN HONOR, TO PROUDLY SAY, RICHARD PEGUE (YOU GOT A FUNNY NAME) AND I GOT IT TOO.. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DAD, FRIEND, MENTOR, FATHER... I'LL SEE YOU SOON MAN...

BRITNI ELISE "SATISFIED" WHAT AN INCREDIBLY SEXY GIRL.
"Soul Train" creator Don Cornelius was found dead Wednesday morning in his Sherman Oaks, CA. home. Police discovered his body around 4 a.m. He apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to sources who spoke on condition of anonymity. He was 75.
The sources say he was discovered by a family member early Wednesday morning, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. He was rushed to a hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.
The source said there was no sign of foul play, but the LAPD is investigating. In a 2010 interview, Cornelius discussed a movie project he was developing about "Soul Train".
"We've been in discussions with several people about getting a movie off the ground. It wouldn't be the 'Soul Train' dance show, it would be more of a biographical look at the project," he said. "It's going to be about some of the things that really happened on the show."
According to a Times article, Cornelius' "Soul Train" became the longest-running first-run nationally syndicated show in television history, bringing African American music and style to the world for 35 years.
Cornelius stopped hosting the show in 1993, and "Soul Train" ceased production in 2006. He was given an award last weekend from legendary Brooklyn R&B group Full Force.
R. Kelly's new album "Write Me Back" won't be available until March, but he gave fans the first single this morning.
Unlike his previous 60s-inspired set "Love Letters," this tune, titled "Share My Love," has an unmistakable 70s groove, complete with Philly-soul flavored string arrangements.
The video for Nicki Minaj's new single "Stupid Hoe" has been banned from BET, according to TMZ.
The website spoke to a rep at the network and although they have not confirmed exactly what it is about the video that brought the ban, they are reported to have said that the video is "just too explicit for TV."
The song's chorus has Minaj repeating, "You a stupid hoe, you a you a stupid hoe" and has her dressed in a variety of wigs and outfits, sporting bright, pastel colored makeup and occasionally, digitally-enlarged eyes.
The video also makes mention of the fact that Minaj will be appearing live at this weekend's Super Bowl. The artist is scheduled to perform her single with headliner Madonna and M.I.A.
Today, the Daily Mail also reported that Nicki Minaj may be on Simon Cowell?s list of potential "X Factor" judges, as well as Katy Perry and Mariah Carey.
Move over Real Housewives of whatever and make room for the women of the cloth.
TLC is capitalizing on the latest trend of reality shows and giving the world what it really wants to see with a new series "First Ladies" of the Atlanta area churches.
With True Entertainment, the same production company behind RHOA, behind it, how could it go wrong?
"We are excited to work with TLC to profile the lives of these strong-willed women," True Entertainment president Steven Weinstock says. "With most praise in religious communities directed towards male preachers, we are thrilled to give these remarkable ladies the spotlight they crave and deserve."
The series will follow the women who play the role of preacher?s wives and mothers at home. The real drama is how they manage both while keeping their cool.
An airdate has yet to be announced. But they need to hurry that up because it's bound to be a popular on
Let's kick off the first one for the week.. Ladies, this is one of your sistah girls going in on yall...
Check it out below:
"""""Hello Christopher Michaels, J/k. I read a lot of the letters you posted and I'm starting to think some of these women are just stupid for staying with these men they write you about. There is obviously a huge number of women who live just to please or receive acceptance by men who apparently care nothing about what they think, or how they treat them. One lady won't said she does wifely stuff but dummy you ain't a wife. How dumb is you to think he is gone ever marry you when you being stupid for free. Some of them obviously don't mind being number 2 either. If your (and somebody's else) man don't help you financially and his sex was bad, why you staying with him. I'm sorry to say that we as women have done a good job at letting men treat us and now it's a huge population of dummies for men to choose from. I just want to ask the men to tell all the ladies what they really look for in what they call real women? Can you please ask your male listeners to call or have them respond on here.""""" Wow, can't say she is too far from truth city... So how do yo all feel on what she says about women being dumb for staying in obvious situations that are damaging, and what up playaz, yall want to clue the ladies in on what we see as being the queen vs. the rachets? #GoIn
