" As 2009 draws to close, I have many thoughts on my mind about the state of the entertainment business and the state of the world in general. I'll stick to the first though because the latter would take up a few pages. I have had great opportunties this year interviewing the likes of Illa J, N'Dambi, Pretty Ricky, Angie Stone and many others. I truly love hosting and hopefully my platform in 2010 will be something well recoginized and supported. I had the opportunity to work with Nike this summer for the "More Than A Game" super event in Washington DC with LeBron James. Thanks to AR and Pub City for that. In this business, there are so many pitfalls and negative people and situtaions that occur. Yes I have come across my share of them but I've also been blessed to be around folks who care about the quality of work they are involved in as well as going hard for their dreams and not making any excuses. Kudos to them! In 2010 I look forward to my continued community service with the youth, Justo's Mixtape Awards, my partnerships with my brothers in music and my continued climb with the companies I work for. Hopefully I can get my long awaited DVD out as well. There is new footage I'm constantly getting and I just want to make sure it looks professional and is entertaining for my audience as well. Greatness takes time! I appreciate the continued love and inspiration I get from everyone out there. In the words of the late great Bruce Lee,“I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.” Peace to all and have a blessed new year." -D.BAIL
