The Video Music Awards are Coming to Miami!

You guys should see how spiffy this city has become in anticipation of the highly rated VMA’s, this Sunday, August 29th to be held right here in my hometown.

Sure, we’re used to seeing stars on South Beach and Will Smith even wrote about how magic our city is but everyone is buzzing about what’s going on this week.

Unless I win some tickets on the radio, I won’t be at the awards show, but I’ll be out this week to see who’s here and maybe, just maybe see some celebrities. I’ve never met anyone famous before.

My girl Melissa is in town. She just moved from Atlanta and she’s making a pit stop in Miami to drop off her car on her way to New York to pursue her dreams of becoming a broadway actress and singer. I love Melissa because she is a risk taker. After graduating from FSUucks, she moved back to Miami and did the responsible thing; she became and teacher and made a decent salary. But her heart wasn’t in it. She craved the stage and after a year and a half she quit her job and moved to ATL to see what she could do there. She worked days at a daycare and nights as a waitress and after many auditions finally landed a starring role in a play, I’m sorry I forgot which one.

Now, she’s moving on to New York to see what she can make happen there. She called me while she was driving down to Miami, cursing me out cuz I’m not in Gainesville anymore. G-ville is the mid point between Atlanta and Miami and she wanted to stop for some rest.

I’m very excited to see her and I can’t wait to see what kind of fun we’ll have this week when we go out.

As G. Cornelius would say: I’ll keep you posted…
