As I write this now, I am on vacation. Right now I am in my hometown of Charlotte. I love going home. My whole family is here except one of my brothers and he lives in Atlanta. I know you have heard me talk about my family on the air all the time. My famiy is HUGE! Let me see, I think there are 26 of us including parents, brothers and sister, brother and sister in laws, nieces and nephews.  Christmas here last 4 hours. 4 hours of opening gifts. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I'm the youngest of 5 and was a premee. I think I was in the hospital for over a month before I could come home. One thing about being in a big family is there is always something going on. I love that too.

Anyway enough about my family. I will leave here in a couple of day and go somewhere tropic. Somewhere that I am going to sleep on the beach. Wake with the sounds of the ocean in my ear. A place where I can smoke a cigar while looking out at the ocean and drinking expensive cocktails with fruit and funny names. A place where roomservice is a way of life. A place where shorts and shirts with flip flop is all I am packing. I want you to guess where it is. I can't wait.

Ok, let me go, I think my mother is cooking breakfast. If you have never had breakfast in the south, you don't know what you are miss. Grits, eggs, bacon, sausage (Two types) toast will jelly, orange juice and milk, pancake or waffles, fruit and the list goes on. I can smell it cooking now. The way that people show love in the south is cooking. That is why everyone in the south is 20 to 30 lbs overweight but happy. I never heard of an eating disorder until I moved away. Ok I've got to go.

We will be back on the air on the   28. I will be checking my blogs while I am in the states so leave me a response. I love reading all your responses. If you can guess where I am going, I will give a prize when I get back.  See Ya!

You know life is full of ups and downs. That is just the way it is. As long as the up aren't to up and the downs aren't too far down, then life should be ok. I have a question, when you are given the chance to do something good for someone else, do you do it? When the chance comes that you can step outside your daily routine in life and do something really really nice, do you jump at the chance. I mean do something nice for people you may not even know that well. I had the chance to do that today and did it. It is a great feeling! It wasn't that I wanted something in return or expected anything for doing it. I just did it because I could and it felt right to do. I always follow my gut instinct when it comes to stuff like that. I  have a belief in life that you get what you give in this life. I am a giver. That means I take more joy in giving to others that I do recieving things myself. Those are the things in this life that makes me happy. I would tell you what I did but I am not the type of person to stand on a soapbox and say "Look at Me, Look at Me". I do these things from the heart. Just know that you should take the time to do something nice every chance you can.

I just talking out of my heart today. Have a great one!

I've been getting a lot of comments and emails from people asking me why was I sad. You know, I am a happy person and life doesn't get me down. Everyday is a journey and you have to take the ups with the downs. Sometimes in your journey you hit a detour that  you don't expect and it thows you off and messes with your emotions. It may take a day to get it back on track and you are back to normal. I was so surprised by the number of people that saw what my mood was from those smiley faces and your heart reached out to see if I was ok. I'm fine and next time I won't use the sad smiley face like I did. It's good to know that there are people out that with hearts as big as some of you that read this blog. It's all good and I appreciate all of you that reached out. It just makes me smile to know so many people that I will never probably ever meet care enough about me to stop what they are doing and send me some love. Thank you!

Have a great day : )

So I hope the fourth weekend was good for you. I rested myself and hung out a little. Yesterday on the show we were talking about people cheating and how it is the norm now. We were discusing A-Rod and Madonna. We gave the reason why people cheat and people called in and added to that list. My question to you is, why do you think people cheat in a relationship? I admitted that when I was younger, I cheated in a relationship. I did it because I was selfish and thinking only about myself. I also admitted that I believe in the law of Karma. That is what you do will come back to you. It was only when I was cheated on and hurt that I realize the pain that I have caused on women in my past. It was a tough lesson to learn but one I needed. Today I would never cheat on a women. You can't play with someone's emotions. When you are blessed to have someone in your life that cares or even love you, you are stupid to abuse that love. I am not holier than thou but I am smart enough to know what is right and what is wrong. Cheating is wrong no matter how you slice it. You may think you are getting away with something but in the long run it will catch up to you.

If you have cheated in the past, tell me why. Also tell me how it caught up with you and bit you in the butt.

Leave you message below on my blog.

This morning in the 7am hour, we were set to have Shawn take a Lie Detector test. We set it up with a company called The Lie Detectors. They have an office in downtown Orlando and we arranged for them to come in and give show the test. They got up at 4am to be here by 5:15. We even set it up for our new Intern Scuba Steve to come in and cover the phones. Well we are in our office about 4:14am and Shawn walks in and sits at his computer. I just happen to look over at him at say, "Are you ready to be tested". He looks at me and said, "No, I don't want to do it". I'm thinking that he is joking. So I ask him if he is for real and he said, "yes". The whole show looked at him and was surprised. We have been planning this for about  a month. We have a group of people on the way to the studio to do this and he changed his mind. Once he told me he didn't want to do it, I was cool with it. I had Alex call "The Lie Detectors" and tell them it was off. They were up and on their way here. I was really upset because he could have told me anytime before, that he didn't want to do it. He could have called me, text me, wrote me an email or just pull me to the side. He didn't. I felt that he we very unprofessional in his actions and rather childish. When I told him this on the air, people call in and said I was wrong. How was I wrong? For telling someone they were unprofessional. I don't get it. What we do is fun. We entertain people every morning and it's a great job. Work has to be done and when someone doesn't carry their end we fall. Was it wrong for me to tell him his action hurt the show? Was it wrong for me to show that I was upset on the air.? Please explain how someone would think I was wrong in this. Tell me how not doing what you say you would do is exceptable.

It's Thursday and I don't know if you are like me but you could use a vacation. I haven't taken a vacation since Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I love, love, love, love what I do. But sometime you just need some time to get away. Some time to just do anything other than what you are doing everyday. Some time to get back to just being who you are. When you work day after day, you sometime forget who and what you are. You sometime forget important people in your life. All you do is work, work, work. Well I'm at a point where I need to just recharge myself. Get away long enough to miss this place. Long enough to say, "I'm ready to go back to work" I believe one of the keys to success is ,to work hard and then play hard. There has to be a balance. You can't do more of one then the other. I do have vacation coming up in the middle of July. I'm here until then but believe me when vacation is on, I am out. I know I am going to Charlotte for a few day  because I really do miss my family. Then, I am out of here,no phone, no 2 way and no computer. I might even grow a beard. I don't even know.

When you feel like you need a vacation, where do you go and what do you do?

Today I have nothing that I really want to talk about. Life is good right now. Nothing special has happened to be. It's all the way you look at life. You can't let your ups be too up or your downs be too down. Just try to live life on an even field. In my life I feel blessed. To know why I feel this way, you have to know where I am from. You have to know what my dreams were, to be happy where I am. You can't let life, your job or your friend dictate your happiness. I learn this a long time ago. I'm sure there are people reading this right now that let life, job or friends get them down. Down to the point that you didn't think you could get out, but you did. You may be reading this saying. "What is going on in Johnny's head" The answer is nothing. I feel this way everyday. I write the blogs to give you a better understanding of me and what is going on in my head. You hear me one way and I want to show you another side of me. Kinda crazy huh. You can be positive everyday but you have to work on it. You have a great day and enjoy yourself.

Write back if you want to and tell me how you are feeling right now.

Every week on Friday me and group of friends get together for CIGAR NIGHT. It started with 4 guys and has now grown to about 20 to 25 guys. We get together, have a cigar and just blow off the week. It has now turn into a Friday tradition. To me its like a celebration for making it thru another week and welcoming the weekend. We do it fairly early so that the guys that are married or have girlfriends can leave and spend time with their ladies. The cool thing is your girlfriends or wives are wecome. Usually after going one time, they don't come back because it is just a bunch of grown men acting silly and telling stupid jokes. They are men from all walks of life, different races and different financial background. In order to join CIGAR NIGHT, someone has to bring you, you just can't walk up and join.  I can't give you the location because we like to keep that private. I see it growing to over 100 by the end of the summer. We started with taking up one table and now we take 4 or  5 tables. No one gets drunk because we have a few drinks and at the end of the night we pay our tab and go about evening. Some guys stay out and party, me, I usually go home.

I'm just curious, do you have a routine of things you do with your friends. Is there something you try to do with your friends once a week, once a month or once a year? I  know sometimes really life stuff happens and you can't do it. What do you think about this once a week thing? If your boyfriend or husband said, "I'm smoking cigars with the guys every Friday for 2 to 3 hours" Would you let him or would you not allow this.

Leave me an anwer on my blog below.

We are putting on a Self Defense Course on Saturday morning here at the Clear Channel buildings. Its at 10am and you can sign up on line at johnnyandjayde.com.

My question to you is, do you feel safe in Central Florida? It is so depressing to watch the news and see all the crime that is happening in our city. If you are a women, have you changed what you are doing to look out for crime? I was walking downtown on Saturday night with a good friend and we see a women who was dressed to go out to a club, walking on a side street downtown by herself. We look at each other and said almost at the same time, I guess she doesn't watch the news. Here is a women in a tight club outfit walking downtown on  a sidestreet by herself. I wanted to walk up to her and say hey are you crazy, don't you know about the crime in this city.

Are you prepared if something were to happen to you? I always ask people I know, if something were to happen to you, how long would it take for someone to know that you were missing. For me it would be 4am the next morning when I didn't show up for work. I have worked on that system so it is a couple of hours now. How long would it be for you?

I've ask you alot, leave your message on my blog below.

Stay safe everybody!
