People to watch out for in 2003: “Chad Bonsack is sick, he rips when it comes to surfing and I would pay to have his resume.” “Brandon Fowler has been making films since he was 18, keep and eye out for him.” “Jessica Sutta is the epitome of beauty…..I’ll laugh when someone says they discovered her….too late, I already did!”

One last thing……”Greg Baker, writer of Street Miami in South Florida, has the I.Q. of carpet. The article he wrote about the Miami Heat on February 7, 2003 is false. He begged me before a Detroit Pistons game to get some answers for his story. I thought it was a homeless guy, so I felt bad and entertained his 3rd grade questions. The moral of the story is…if you see a toothless, bald guy asking you questions in South Florida, it’s probably Greg Baker trying to put together a half-ass story for Street Miami.
