I know U prolly think I have no life 4 spending all my time on EM stuff, but I don't care cuz I know I'm crazy. EM is the tightest and he deserves his respect-4 real. N~E~Ways, U better sign my guestbook and lemme know what U think of this site. Check out these pictures and some of the stuff I've done (I don't have clips from FOX 11 or the Today Show interviews)...  This magazine right here is what started everything off. I just wrote a small fan thing about why I like EM and it got published- so did my web site. After the magazine, I got an e-mail from the LA Times. They wanted me 2 do an article about being an EM fan. It came as a big surprise 2 me, but I was definitely willing 2 do it. I was kinda nervous or whatever, so that's why I kept sayin "like" so much. I sound like a dumb ass in that article cuz I say it so much! And yeah, I know that picture looks wack, but gimme a break, they took it while I was talking...  About a week later, my neighbor called up my house saying that FOX 11 was looking 4 me. They left their # and my parents called. Jane Yamamoto (the news lady from "Forgot About Dre" & "Stan") was supposed 2 do the interview, but it turns out she could've only done it at my school, but that wouldn't have worked out. I came home from school one day and Lisa Bruckenridge did the interview instead. She asked me the usual questions about EM being controversial and all that. I got 2 show the camera crew all my EM memorabilia, my web site, and played them some of my EM tapes 2.  A few days later, I got an e-mail from EM's publicist, Dennis Dennehy, saying that he had 2 tickets saved up 4 me 2 go 2 EM's pay per view concert. He saw me on the news and told me it was kool 2 hear good things about EM 4 once. I'd been trying 2 win those tickets 4ever cuz U couldn't buy them. Man, I was so excited cuz there were only gonna B 1500 people. That's hardly anything compared 2 the other EM shows I'd been 2. It was a 2 hour show and Dre and Xzibit were surprise guests. I was only a few feet away from EM and he kept looking at me like I was crazy cuz I knew every song he performed... It was the tightest! Then in Feb, around my b-day, I got another e-mail from GLAAD. They wanted me 2 B a part of an EM forum about his lyrics and the Grammys. After I called Sean Lund from GLAAD, I decided I would go 2 defend EM. I went the day b4 the Grammys and there was a bunch of cameras and stuff, but not that many people showed up. A bunch of kids my age were supposed 2 come from a school in LA, but at the last minute someone from the school district didn't allow them 2 come. It kinda sucked cuz the audience was mainly parents and they kept asking me why I thought EM's lyrics were funny. Some gay people were really mad and started yelling. So mad, I had 2 leave w/a bodyguard. It was all good though. When it was over, I did an interview 4 the radio, Access Hollywood, and a few news stations. I even got 2 meet Violet Brown (EM mentions her on "Steve Berman", remember?) and Michael Greene-he introduced EM and Elton at the Grammys. Check out these links 4 more: MTV Article GLAAD Article 
On the day of the Grammys, I came out on the cover of the newspaper in my area. This time, I wasn't nervous cuz I was kinda used 2 the media already. I did the interview over the phone and they took the pictures a few days later. The photographer made me pose like EM and I was laughing. That's why my head looks real big... Before the newspaper, I did an interview 4 NBC's Today Show. The clips of me aired on the morning of the Grammys.  Here's tha cover of the YM magazine I was in 2. It's tha April 2002-the MTV issue with Pink/Shakira on tha cover. The article was called Obsessed Fans and basically talked about how big of a fan I am. I did this interview a long time ago over tha phone since they're in NY and I'm over here in Cali. 
 Inside Edition called me up after seeing tha article in YM and did a segment w/me talking about liking EM and why. I showed them all my EM stuff and was talking about how I ain't a crazy obsessed fan. LoL It aired on May 28. Tha Detroit News article is tha latest thing I've been in. -Yeah I know I look way 2 happy LoL- I did tha interview over tha phone and talked about travelin 2 Detroit 2 C EM 7/13. Tha article, called "They're Mad About Marshall," came out 7/9/2003 and it's pretty dope that people still care about me bein a fan. Plz know that I KNOW I'm lucky and all of this recognition is still crazy 2 me. lol
