BEING RELEASED FROM STAR-DOM ENTERTAINMENT

AS OF SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2008 I WAS LET GO FROM STAR-DOM ENTERTAINMENT DUE TO ACTIONS DEEMED AGAINST COMPANY INTERESTS AND LOYALTY.


I DON'T REGRET MY INVOLVELMENT IN STAR-DOM ENTERTAINMENT AND WISH THEM THE BEST IN ALL THEY DO AND THEY WILL HAVE MY SUPPORT IN THERE ULTIMATE GOAL OF FURTHERING THE BLACK ENTERTAINMENT MARKET IN SAN DIEGO. I HOLD NO HARD FEELINGS OR ILL WILL TOWARDS ANYONE OF THEM AND STILL CONSIDER THEM TO BE GOOD FRIENDS AND GREAT PEOPLE TO WORK WITH.

IT IS TRUE THAT I DISAGREED WITH COMMENTS MADE ABOUT A07 ENTERTAINMENT AND TOOK ACTIONS NOT ONLY TO MEDIATE BETWEEN THE COMPANIES TO TRY TO "CALM THE WATERS" AND DEESCALTE THE SITUATION. IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT IN MY EFFORTS TO MEDIATE I DID VOICE MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS REGARDING COMMENTS AND EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE. I MAINTAIN THAT I DO NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE MARKETING PLAN OF CLUB GLARE AND THAT I ALSO DO NOT SEE FIX FRIDAYS AS ANY LESS OF A HUGE SUCCESS THAN WHAT IT HAS AND CONTINUES TO BE. BEING A FORMER MEMEBER OF A07 ENTERTAINMENT GIVES ME A UNIQUE UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR METHODS AND THEIR WIDELY APPEALING STYLE OF OPERATIONS. MY TIME WITH DJ BIRDY BIRD AND STAR-DOM ENTERTAINMENT BOTH AS A CONSULTANT AND AS A STAFF MEMBER PROVIDED ME WITH A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR FERVENT DESIRE TO STAY TRUE TO THEIR ROOTS WHILE PROVIDING QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT. I CARRY CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS WITH BOTH PARTIES WHICH WERE TESTED TO THEIR LIMITS.

I WANT TO SAY THAT I DO NOT REGRET ANY OF MY ACTIONS.... I BLOGGED EARLIER THIS MONTH THAT I FELT CONFLICTED AND I BELIEVE THAT IN MY CONFLICTED STATE MY ACTIONS REFLECTED MY INNER MOST ETHICS AND MORALS. STAYING LOYAL TO YOUR COMPANY AND ITS INTERESTS IS MANDATORY IN ANY BUISNESS ENDEAVOR BUT WHEN THAT LOYALTY CONFLICTS WITH YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS, AXIOMS, AND BELIEFS ONE MUST CHOSE A PATH. AS MUCH AS I TRIED TO MEDIATE BETWEEN MY COMPANY LOYALTIES AND PERSONAL LOYALTIES MY EFFORTS WERE SEEN TO BE ACTIONS OF TAKING SIDES. HONESTLY I CANNOT SAY THAT THIS BELIEF IS TOTALLY WRONG.

AT THE END OF THE DAY I DID CHOOSE TO ACT IN A SITUATION THAT I COULD HAVE STAYED QUIET AND TO THE "BACK OF THE ROOM", SO TO SPEAK OF. I DIDN'T HAVE TO VOICE ANY OPINION BECAUSE IT WENT AGAINST THE OVERALL VIEW OF THE COMPANY. I DID LET MY PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS, BELIEFS, AND ETHICS GET IN THE WAY OF BEING UNCONDITIONALLY LOYAL TO STAR-DOM ENTERTAINMENT.


WHEN ALL THINGS ARE SAID AND DONE I HAVE A HIGHER CALL TO THE TRUTH AND WHAT IS RIGHT.... AND I BELIEVE THAT ANY PERSONAL COMMENTS OR BELIEF THAT I SHARED WERE SUPPORTING WHAT IS RIGHT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO STICK TO A BELIEF AND SING IT OUT FOR THE WORLD TO HEAR YOU'RE GOING TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THOSE WORDS. YOU CAN ONLY POKE A SLEEPING DOG SO MANY TIMES BEFORE IT IS GOING TO WAKE UP AND WHEN IT DOES YOU ARE SUBJECT TO ITS ACTIONS BEING THAT THEY ARE A PRODUCT OF YOUR OWN.

IN A MEDIATION ON IS REQUIRED TO PRESENT ONE PARTY'S VIEWS AND INTENTIONS IN WAY THAT THE OTHER PARTY CAN UNDERSTAND AND HOPEFULLY ACCEPT. I ATTEMPTED TO DO THIS WHILE HOLDING THE BELIEF THAT NOT ONLY WAS THE SITUATION TRIVIAL AND RIDICULOUS BUT THAT IT REALLY ONLY REQUIRED BOTH PARTIES TO DO WHAT THEY DO BEST AND TO SEE EACH OTHER AT THE FINISH LINE WHEN THE DUST SETTLED AND CLEARED.

TO A07 ENTERTAINMENT I WANT TO SAY THAT I LOVE ALL OF YOU AS FAMILY AND I APPOLOGIZE IF AT ANY POINT IT SEEMED LIKE I DIDN'T OR WAS ACTING CONTRARY TO THAT. I BELIEVE THAT I WAS ABLE TO BECOME WHAT I AM IN THE INDUSTRY BECAUSE OF MY TIME SPENT APART OF OF A07 AND THAT I AM STILL GROWING AND EVOLVING IN THIS INDUSTRY BECAUSE OF THE ROLE THEY PLAYED IN MY CAREER EARLY ON.

I TRULY DO APPOLOGIZE TO DJ BIRDY BIRD AND THE RESET OF STAR-DOM ENTERTAINMENT THAT IT IS BELIEVED AND FELT THAT I BETRAYED THEM AND THAT I WAS NOT REPRESENTING THEM IN THE BEST WAY. MY INTENT WAS NEVER TO DO SO BUT TO PREVENT SOMETHING TRIVIAL FROM AFFECTION THE AWESOME PROGRESSION THAT WAS BEING MADE. I HAVE NOTHING BUT RESPECT FOR THEM AND WHAT THEY DO AND AS I SAID EARLIER WANT THEM TO ONLY SUCCEED IN ALL OF THEIR ENDEAVORS AND GOALS.
