C-NOTE SAYS: SOMETIMES BEING A CELEBRITY IS TOUGH.

When we usually think of celebrities, we think about Hollywood stars, athletes, politicians and folks like these. What about those celebrities in your hometown... your TV newspeople, radio personalities, local car dealers and such. One would have a better chance of meeting and greeting a local celebrity than one of national or even international fame. The big-time celebrities seem like they are going out of their way to avoid having contact with their fans. They have the massive entourages and the security to boot. You couldn't reach out for a handshake with one of these folks if you tried. Local celebs, on the other hand, are regular folk who work hard at what they do each day plus they pay their bills, and not done by a team of accountants plus we have no security like the big stars. We can move about the community without being mobbed like our Hollywood counterparts and the freedom to enjoy our family and friends without the paparozzi or Entertainment Tonight checking out our every move. Your local celebrities are, for the most part, are more approachable even though some folks out there see a local celeb on the move but are a bit shy to make a approach. Those of us that are local celebrities wanna talk to you and get to know you. You good folks are our friends and neighbors. We are just like you in every regard because we put our pants on one leg at a time and our socks on one foot at a time. And my female celeb friends put their nylons on the same as you. We also make those grocery store trips, get gas, make those car notes, pay rent just like you do. Hollywood types don't do any of that stuff. Being a celebrity, whether as a big-time one or here locally is a priviledge and not a right. We have a responsibility to satisfy our fans because without you who would we be? On a point of personal priviledge I enjoy the time I meet and greet your folks, especially at parade time whether St. Patties, State Fair or Christmas parade I am glad and humbled to see all you supporting us. You know you have made it as a local celebrity when people recognize your voice before one gives any indication of their celebrity status. People recognize me most from 997 KISS-FM but some also hear me after my post-game wrap-ups on Sportsradio 1450. Wherever I am at, you can greet me anytime, loving talking to you all. Remember what C-Note says: It takes a lot to become a celebrity but its harder to enjoy the fruits and priviledges that go along with it.

C-NOTE SAYS- THINGS I MISS THE MOST.

In life there are things we miss in life like friends, our first car, our first love just to name a few. As a human being I am no exception to that rule because there are things in my life that I miss. I miss being a school bus driver expecially when I did those out of town charter trips with our local teams, I miss my car being as clean as it used to be but I need to be more dilligent on that. I also miss getting my oil changed every 3,000 miles but it was hard for me to do that in the winter because my money was lower in the winter months than in the spring and summer months. With my money situation now the cash has to go for more than just the car payment, oil changes, chow at Ryan's and other extras. Today, the money has to go for rent, utilities, loans, car payment, and things like these. I miss gas being cheaper where I can fill my tank every payday instead of here and there. I also miss just the two jobs but needed a third to get the bills paid. But I really miss the days when I can hang out on the couch and watch lots of MSNBC and eat at Ryan's twice a week. The one thing I don't miss is the old church but love my new church, Cherry Hills. I miss shakin booty but would still like to do that from time to time. Remember what C-Note Says: When you are single one is fancy free, but when you are married it makes a man out of you and makes you take more responsibility.

C-NOTE SAYS- TWO IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN ONE.

We have heard about two for the price of one, buy one, get one free types of offers. These all sound good but back in the day, it would have been even sweeter to have two girlfriends. Both women would have to be opposites in some way. One of them would have to be a shake-booty type that likes high heel shoes, especially stilettos and spandex and the other would be more of an intellectual where you can discuss issues of the day with her plus be able to shake some booty on occasion. One would want both to do well in the romance department because it would suck big-time if one of the ladies was better than the other in that arena. I would like both to own some form of automobile, I don't care whether its a car, truck, van or SUV. The nicer the vehilcle the better. Even if the vehicle-in-question was a hooptie job, as long as she has has a car and both have jobs whether full or part-time. It would be ideal if one or both worked for one of the " Five Sisters".... St John's, Memorial, Horace Mann, Franklin Life( Now AIG American General) or the state but for both to have jobs is sweet.Remember what C-Note says: If a woman works, its all right with me... and if its at one of the " Five Sisters", sweeter baby.

C-NOTE SAYS: SUMMER AND THE B'S... BATS, BALLS, BRATS AND BEER.

Summertime is finally here, schools out, graduations are now in the books and summer vacations are now getting into the swing of things. But there's one thing about summer that stands out and that's baseball. Opportunities to check out your favorite teams are there whether its the Cardinals, Cubs or White Sox. But if you cannot afford to drive to St. Louis or Chicago, check out the major baseball stars of tomorrow by attending a Springfield Sliders game at beautiful Robin Roberts Stadium( Lanphier Park to us old-timers). In baseball, the players use the bats to make contact with the balls which makes the game the " Great American Pastime". As fans of the game, it would be hard to sit through all nine innings of ball without some kind of food or even taking a brief pause. In the other team sports.... Basketball, Football and Hockey, those sports are dictated by a clock and they have a halftime in the middle portion of the contest, but the NHL calls it intermission. In baseball there's no clock or intermission but there's the 7th inning stretch which is as close as baseball gets to halftime. At a ball game, you can enjoy hot dogs, brats, nachos, burgers and the like. There's also beer to wash it down with and you can enjoy it all throughout the game. You can really enjoy your beer and brats without always having to be on the edge of your seat for that one big play which is something you would have to worry about in other sports.
Remember what C-Note Says: Summer is no fun without the B's, and I don't mean the kind that sting either.
