Dear Diary


"Marilyn Monroe"- Pharrell Williams
Dear Diary, It's happened again...
Pharrell has crafted a new jam that I secretly love. I've loved Pharrell for years. It was a highlight of mine to go up on stage and stroke his abs during a NERD show back in 2008. It was also really awesome when "Can I Have It Like That" was the Toronto Raptors theme song. I met their official DJ (closest thing I will get to the Raptors) at one of my haunts and danced the night away.
My love for Skateboard P goes deep. Deep like back in 2002 when I saw his beautiful face in the Justin Timberlake music video "Like I Love You."
So this nouvelle fame, Vivienne Westwood hat and all, is well deserved for Skateboard P.
Yes-Sir
