Q: Why did you choose to start a magazine?
A: It seemed like the smart thing to do. How many magazine's do you see fail on the shelf?
Q: How easy did everything come to you?
A: (Smirks) I wish it was that easy, if it was everyone would be millionaires. Seriously, it has been a really difficult struggle to get to where I am. There were many time's that I just wanted to quit; it looked like all I was doing was spending my paychecks into the company and not paying my bills. I have been through so much, lost allot of friends, fired allot of people, spent allot of money. I stuck though it, I knew that if I wanted this I could make it happen.
Q: So when did things finally change for you?
A: Well, you see, DIPstick has always expanded, thanks to the growing fan base and proper promotion. We really made a change for the better as soon as the one person that was always bringing me and the empire down was out of my life. She knows who she is. Also, my brother from a different mother has made this into something I have never dreamed of. Sebastian was put through allot of training to get to where he is, but if you ever have a chance to talk to him you'll really appreciate the value he adds to everything.
Q: Wow, tell me a little more about this girl?
A: I'd love to talk about her, but bad publicity is still good publicity. If you really want to know what she did to me, go to the DIPstick Music Myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/dipsticked) and click on "Look Back Past." I sung/rapped and wrote that song about her (This song was soon removed for future release).
Q: After hearing that song, it sounds like you have a different outlook on women, how has that experience changed your views on relationships?
A: Everyone has their heart broken at least once, she was mine. Now I'm very cautious and picky about my selection. I don't want another 6 years of my life taken from me.
Q: So, what is your selections?
A: I'm looking for someone that knows what they want out of life. She's got to have a good head on her shoulders, both intelligent and humble. You know, someone that can have a civilized conversation with me without getting lost after the first few words. And you know she's got to be attractive!
Q: Nice, so have you found someone or are you still looking?
A: Well that's the thing. I think I have found someone that would make me really happy all around, from standing alongside of me in my business all the way to in the sheets. I just think that our timing is off and because of it, that reality will never happen. So to answer your question, No, I'm still looking.
Q: That's cool; At least you know what you are looking for. Speaking of music, after listening to your songs, why haven't you tried a singing career? You definitely have what it takes to make it.
A: Honestly, I love to sing, rap, dance, anything that involves music. I just don't have the time for that right now. Who knows maybe in a minute you'll see something emerge from that side of me?
Q: So what do you do in your down time?
A: Down time? (Laughs) When I manage to get some free time, I usually hop on the Xbox 360 or watch a movie. I try to veg, but it usually, almost, always, ends up turning into a business discussion of some sort.
Q: Do you have any future plans?
A: I have tons! Way too much to discuss here. One of my goals is to run for office. I don't like how our country is being ran and it's about time someone takes responsibility and gets the control and pride back into the Americans, that we lost a long time ago.
Q: I'm looking forward to seeing how this progresses. Since we are on the subject of watching you, we have seen a few episodes of justDIPPED online, are we going to see this on television anytime soon?
A: I can't discuss justDIPPED and TV at the same time right now. I will tell you when and if it goes to air we will have the most interactive reality show ever!
Q: Awesome! Well, I thank you for this interview. Is there anything you would like to say to our viewers and fans of the DIPstick?
A: Your welcome. Yes, live your dream. As long as it's within reason. People that dream about murdering others need not apply. Don't give up, even if everyone around you has shot you down. If you really want something bad enough, you will figure out a way to make it happen and when it does, you will appreciate it that much more.
