How Twitter almost made me hate Valentine’s Day

in Rant by G. Valentino Ball on February 27th, 2010

“I wanted to sweep her off her feet but she kept hitting me with the damn broom.”

I was really just minding my business. After a flurry of trending topics, passive aggressive Facebook updates, disgruntled blog posts with helpful hints that weren’t really that helpful, I just couldn’t help but be drawn into the fray. People were having problems. And I didn’t want any problems. But everywhere I looked it was forced into my view; Valentine’s Day. And I wasn’t avoiding it for the obvious reason of not having a Valentine. (I was actually good in that space). No my aversion to all things hearts & flowers was something different. Everywhere I looked I saw that when it comes to love and loving we are in a sorry state. The dialogue was driving me insane. It was like watching 6 year olds discuss Advanced Applied Economics. Oh yeah it’s cute for a little while but then it gets annoying. And in our age of the overshare it’s way too easy to see our fragility. A steady declaration of what “real” men and women are made of and just exactly how “grown” people are will do that to you. (By the way, if someone is stressing how “grown” they are, that’s usually a good indication of that they still have some more growing to do.) Combine that with the repeated revelations of the pagan nature of the day and it’s a bit hard to maintain that lovey dovey feeling. (Cont)

DJ CHUBBY CHUB – The Lost G. Valentino Ball Interview

in Interviews, New England, Rant, ThatsMajorTV by G. Valentino Ball on December 28th, 2009

Here’s the raw footage from my interview with DJ Chubby Chub (@DJ_CHUBBY_CHUB), Program Director of Boston’s new Hot 97. I did this in Fall ‘09. In the wake of my talk with Rakim (which we will post soon), I figured I’d let this one live too. I’m working on getting more for the new year. Hopefully my on-camera game will improve. Cross your fingers.

Anyway, we talked about everything from his international touring (djing with Kelis on the Britney Spears tour) to Boston’s artists. I had my man Joe Politics on the camera, as Chub just kept it all the way 100. We basically went in on everything. The camera work was a little shaky but it was mos def a good conversation.

I had to make up for all that extra R&B earlier. HA!
