A New Year, A New You
Happy 2009 loved ones! Hope you had a great new years. The symbolism of starting anew is so powerful that inevitably we all resolve to change. Perhaps your resolution revolves around losing weght, quit smoking, or to get out of debt. Maybe this is the year we delve deeper than these changes of the flesh. Perhaps this is the year we create a fundamental and groundbreaking change in ourselves. Let this be the the year you change your attitude on life. Resolve to be a positive, conscientous person. Move towards letting that which is truly insignificant and out of your control, slide. Resolve to remove the poisons of your life, whether they be drugs, alcohol, fast food, or merely relationships that create havoc in your life. Remove your prejudices and negative attitudes and embrace people and things that uplift you mind, body, and soul. Let 2009 be a year of transformation in your heart, and the effects will be resounding in all areas of your life.
Much love,
Deuce.
A Ron Burgundy moment...
Hey loved ones, hope you had a wonderful holiday and are preparing for a prosperous 2009! This video is morbid but kind iof hilarious. The teleprompter is a tricky device. Not only do you have to read the script, but it's probably also a good idea to take in consideration pauses, inflection, etc. Check out this classic moment worthy of Ron Burgundy...
Let us not get on Jamie's bad side....
Cat Like Reflexes
It's four degrees outside today and togh to find many reasons to be happy but this video has got to make you chuckle a lil bit. A part of me is majorly disappointed the shoe missed but another part of me is super impressed by Dubya's reflexes.
What The Hell Was He Saying?
A lot of times I will sit in the Power 93.9 studio and sing at the top of my lungs. It's unfortunate when lyrics come up that I can't understand. A lot of times I just mumble what I think the artist is saying. This video will help you decipher Sean Paul's "Temperature".
Creepiest Thing You Will See Today
As we near 2009, it's safe to say that we live in an age of social enlightenment. Cynics would say it's an age of rampant political corectness without a sense of humor. Regardless of what you call it, more than ever society is sensitive to cultural differences, and intune to social cues that can be deemed threatening or at least inappropriate. In the spirit of this sensitivity, check out this old McDonald's commerical that's sure to creep you out in more ways than can be described.
Glory In The Idiocy of others.
I have a confession. By far one the dorkiest things I love to do is sit at home with my roommates and watch the Game Show Network. Nothing feels better than watching other people fail on national T.V. In the spirit of that, check out some of these epic fails.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland
So we've gotten our first taste of winter here in the Dub. Well kind of, a lil snow spit isn't really a blizzard but we all know cold, snowy, icy days loom on the horizon. Just to remind us all of the perils of winter driving, check out this oldie, but goodie.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
Hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving. I'll be at home, all alone, babysitting my roommate's two cats.... Sounds pretty pathetic eh? Frankly, I'm ok with that though. It will be a good time to reflect on all the beautiful things I have to be thankful for. Hopefully you have lots of reasons to be thankful this holiday season as well.
Just Plain Creepy
All You Need To Know About 100 Movies
Spoiler Warning! Check out this video, summing up 100 Hollywood classics in less than five minutes.
Don't Tase Me.. Me...
Do you know the weapons you possess? We all have certain weapons we use when we desire to exact revenge or have a need to defend ourselves. I'm not talking about guns or knives, I'm referring to personality traits that we tap into when we feel threatened. Often times, these weapons are detrimental to our own walks towards happiness and peace and ultimately inflict more pain upon ourselves than to our intended target. Do you immediately deride a person because of their political or religious beliefs? Hold yourself mightly high and cast dispersions when you see people behave in manners deemed beneath you? Do you recoil in anger or self pity when people say things you don't agree with? Do you lash out in judgement or anger but get hurt when that is reciprocated? Every action has an equal and sometimes more harsh reaction. Be conscious of your emotions, learn to act calmly and purposefully to an end that will benefit your peace of mind. Leave the past behind. Learn to accept that people will make mistakes, people will disappoint you, life will sometimes seem unfair but ultimately you have the choice of how you will react to it. Victimization is a choice, choosing to be triumphant is virtuous.
All up in your ear hole...
Good news errrrbody!!! (Aside from the Obama victory). You can now hear me do my thing everyday from 3-7pm! Ride home with me everyday and hopefully I got some music you love and some good stuff to entertain you with. Feel free to always hit me up at deuce@power939.comor at www.myspace.com/deucepower939. Oh and check out the video below... it's the greatest invention of all time!
United By Cynicism
We sit on the cusp of the election and this time of year can be particularly stressful. Considering the state of the economy, the never ending was in Iraq, healthcare, etc, this election is probably the most devisive, and important election we have ever witnessed. With that being said, friends and family can be torn apart by differences of opinon. Don't let your good relationships be ruined by ideology. Politics are not religion and frankly no person is one thing. Nobody is 100 percent liberal or 100 percent conservative. Most reasonable people lie somewhere in the middle. Progress and hope can be found in our similarities!
1. We all agree, as our forefathers once wrote, "America is the Shiznit".
2. We can all agree, thank God neither one of these dudes is named "Bush".
3. We can all agree that this country needs to be protected and needs to retain it's position in the world.
4. We can all agree that Ryan Seacrest is a complete d-bag.
5. We can all agree that both parties need to work together and bi-partisan bull crap needs to be banished.
6. We can all agree that our kids deserve a bright future. (Except for those punk High School Musical brats)
Ok maybe those similarities and cumbaya talk don't inspire you. Then let us be united by cynicism! We all know both of these guys are just politicians who make great promises now but don't deliver later. We know all politicians are liars and crooks so lets not anoint either as "the messiah". And we also know America is sooooo deep in trouble right now that neither one of these guys will be able to clean up much for at least three or four years.
Whether we are connected through hope, or cynicism, we can be united. Remember, your vote matters, so get out and vote. No voice, no choice.

Effective Communication for Meat Heads...
Conflict resolution is an important skill to have in inter-personal communications. As conflicts are inevitable to arise, the truly great will be able to employ strategies that will foster an environment of peaceful compromise. This roid head is not an example of such an individual....
Time To Ask Deuce!
Ok so every once in a while, I'll get an e-mail from someone asking for advice. (I'm not sure why either) Anyway, if you have a question for me, feel free to send an e-mail to deuce@power939.com. Here's a recent message I received.
Dear Deuce,
Love your show! You crack me up! I was hoping you could help me out. I have a co-worker who constantly bothers me with all the details of his life. I'm constantly being bombarded by his drama and he's completely oblivious to my attempts to ignore him. How do I get him to take the hint that his constant whining and complaining do nothing but drag me and the rest of the office down?
Sincerely:
Annoyed
Dear Annoyed,
I think it's important that you recognize first and foremost that everyone's favorite subject is... you guessed it... themselves! We are so in love with ourselves that we can't help but think that everyone around us is interested in our drama! With that being said, perhaps you're the only one that will listen to this guy. Either that, or he's just one of those people that's going to run their mouths about their life regardless of whatever you or anyone else thinks. If that's the case, you just have to let it go! You cannot change people! People are going to be their annoying selves. All you have control over is your own reaction to it. If you confront him, he will get defensive, and just add you to the things he likes to complain about. Try to keep your thoughts and actions positive and hopefully that positivity will spread to him. Attitudes are like herpes, extremely infectious. If you create a positive environment and project good energy, you will find that everyone around you feels it too. Unfortunately the same is true with negativity. You must block out all negative thoughts and attitudes. If he can't keep it positive with you, shut him down immediately. No need in catching his negativity, life is way too short to spend it miserable.
All the best,
Deuce.
Better Vote Fool!!!!
Here we sit some 30 odd days from the election and you know you need to vote! If for no other reason, so that you have a right to complain! Nothing worse than someone complaning, you go to ask them if they voted, and they say no. No voice, no choice!!!! Come check out the registration party this Saturday from 11am to 1pm at 19th and Volustia. Hailey Jones and myself will be out there and we'll have free grub from Outback Steakhouse so get registered and come eat! Oh and if you need help decided whether you need to vote, listen to these celebs...
We live in a cold... cold world....
Since the world makes us so hardened, calloused and broken hearted. Let's take a minute out to gawk at the ultimate in cuteness.
Sometimes it all comes down on you at once...
Check out this skank...errr aspiring erotic dancer in what is apparently her audition tape for America's Next Top Chicken Head. Epic fail at the end.
So you think you can dance?
You thought the economic troubles facing the country were scary? Nothing compared this man attempting to dance. Can't blame the guy for feeling it thought, just like you can't blame me for puking after watching this... enjoy!
B.I.G. at the Movies
Undoubtedly one of the greatest rappers of all time was the Notorious B.I.G. The biopic film telling the story of his rise in the streets of Brooklyn as a drug dealer to his meteoric ascent as a hip-hop royalty, to his tragic death 11 years ago will be in theatres January 16th. Check out the first trailer from the movie.
Live Ya Life!!!!!
Check out that brand new song by T.I. it's called "Live Your Life". I find its message pretty poignant. So often we focus on what we don't have. We don't have the job we want, the bank account we want, the love we want, the body we want. All this time being miserable about what we don't have instead of appreciating what we do have! Look at all the wonderful blessings in your life and appreciate them! Not saying you shouldn't have goals or aspirations for better things, but you should always acknowledge and appreciate the great things in your life. Appreciation attracts more situations in your life to be thankful for. Focus on that positive, wash your thoughts in appreciation and you will be rewarded. Live your life, love your life, and even more life will come to you.
Immerse yourself in this analytical deconstruction and summation of the socio-economic and gender roles typified in the traditional ceremony known as the rap battle...
T-Pain is A Fraud! Or not...
Hey Loved Ones, hope you had a great weekend. Thoughts and prayers too everyone affected by hurricane Ike. We caught our own brand of bad weather and it all accumulated in my hooptie over the weekend. Woke up to find two inches of rain in my car. Now, it kind of smells like what I imagine Flavor Flav's breath must smell like. Needless to say, I needed something to lift my spirits this morning and this did it. Check out this man's rendition of "Buy You a Drank". Dare I say it's better than T-Pain's version.
Kanye Spazzes on the Paps
Kanye West is facing a felony vandalism charge after smashing a photog's camera. I'm a little conflicted here on how to feel. On one hand we would all feel a little threatened and intruded upon if random people were runnin' up on you snapping your pic, hiding behind bushes, chasing you and what not, but at the same time how bad is it really? In exchange for millions of dollars, fame, and glory, occassionally you have to let your picture be taken at a public place. My only question is why is this even a needed picture for the photographer? It's not like Kanye is going R. Kelly on a girl or sniffing something with Amy Winehouse. Dude is at the airport, how interesting is that?
WTF OMG STFU It's The MTV VMA's!
Over the years the MTV VMAs have become increasingly boring. I'd rather watch snails sneeze but it's part of my job to know about this stuff. If you missed the VMA's or one of the 37 showings over the next week, here's all you needed to see. It's the VMA's in two minutes!
Back To School Bash Ends In Heartbreak!
Big shot out to everyone who came out to the Power 93.9 Back To School Bash 3. All of the performers were incredible. I got to meet the lovely Keri Hilson which was both a positive and a negative. Positive in that I didn't end up with the restraining order being placed on me like I had anticipated, but negative in that she turned down my marriage proposal. That makes me 0-2 in marriage proposals for the month of August. Fail!

Why do we all face the same way in an elevator?
This video shows the power of society. Often times we unconsciously engage in conformity withouh ever pondering the reasons why. My rommate told me recently that she would never eat a bug. Nutritionally they contain similar properties to other foods but socially, eating bugs in America is unacceptable. So much of our belief system is based on a blind acceptance to what is considered the norm. This is a dangerous way to think. If we all lived by this credo consistently, we would never make progress as a species. Slavery and subjugation would still be appropriate if we all adopted the idea to simply accept what society tells us is normal. My challenge to you is question everything asked of you in this world. Do you have to go to college to be happy? Do you have to be a certain sex, religion, color, in order to be a certain way and are you comfortable being confined to that box? Set your self free from society's expectations and do what makes sense for you. Challenge the ideas of the status quo, ignore the consequences of being considered "different" and live in a way that fufills your spirit.
Some Hot Girl On Girl Pole Action
I think we all underestimate the pressure on the brave women who entertain the married men of the world. This is the greatest action two women can engage in with a pole, without their clothes coming off.
The Darkside of Mr. Rogers...
Growing up as a kid, I always found Mr. Rogers a bit molesterish... Even before I knew what "sex offender" meant, there was something about Mr. Rogers that just didn't sit right with me. This is a grown man that plays with puppets. Not to mention his stripping at the beginning of every show. (BTW who takes off a jacket, just to put on a sweater?) anyway, here's Mr. Rogers' darkside....
Forget the Dark Knight!
So almost everyone and their momma has seen the latest Batman movie "The Dark Knight". I was able to watch it on bootleg from the comfort of the couch over the weekend. And sure it's grossed half a billion dollars already but it doesn't compare to the original batman from 1920, you know, the same year The Hitman started doing radio in wichita!
How can you experience joy without the pain?
Hey kids, for the last few days ya boy's been going through it. I lost someone extremely important to me. I undermined their importance in my life, and now that they're gone, I sit in shambles. Don't take your loved ones for granted. Make sure they know how much you love them, always. Put forth the effort to make sure they always feel special and appreciated and make them a priority in your life! Respect their desires and understand that successful relationships are a two way street. You will always make mistakes in this life, and you will incur pain that sometimes you deserve, and sometimes don't. The key is to find ways to grow and learn from your tribulations. The measure of a person is not what happens to them, it's how they grow in accordance with those things. Do you wallow and grow bitter or do you strive to learn and grow better? Although I sit broken and alone now, I know in time, I'll choose the latter.
Speak On It Big Boi!
Check Out this incredible new joint from Big Boi ft. Mary J. Blige. While all these ringtone rappers are "crankin' b.s." get some true introspective, artistic hip-hop, that's actually saying something!

Luda Get's Political Wit It
Hey folks, hope you had a great weekend! Hard to believe we're less than 100 days from the most important election in our generation's history! If I told you who I was voting for, my bosses would say it's an OBAMAnation that I would use my blog for my political views, so here's Ludacris' view.
Oh and to be fair and balanced, here's also a video about father time... err John McCain...
My Fave Five
There was an old epsiode of the TV show "Friends" where a list was made allowing a person to pick five celebrities they would be allowed to sleep with without any repercussion from their mate. So here's my list.
Lauren London,Actress- The picture says is all. She looks like Beyonce, Alicia Keys, and a cute lil chipmunk had a baby. She also got more acting potential than say, Meagan Good.
Kelly Carlson, Actress- She's "Kimber" on FX's "Nip Tuck". Honestly, I'm not a big fan of blondes and this heifer is too skinny for my taste but what kind of list is it without at least one blonde? She's no Marilyn Monroe, but she'll do in a pinch.
Jessica Alba, Actress. Getting Married to Cash Warren and shooting a baby out of her special purpose has made this bombshell a little less explosive. Having the chance to meet Jessica Alba while covering the 2004 Fox Teen Choice Awards, I did get to experience her personality, which is less than stellar, but this is a superficial list, so who cares?
Kim Karsashian- (Uh not exactly sure why she's famous). You need at least one stellar skank in a list like this and this woman takes the cake (and looks like she ate it too). This bootiyicious Albanian could put me at risk for Ray J. cooties anyday. Of course this woman suffers from the hollywood curse. Take her 18 layers of makeup and she looks like my great aunt May.
Oprah, Talk Show Host, Billionaire. Oprah serves multiple purposes. Needed a older lady and one with a normal body. She's rich, powerful, and got that junk in her trunk! She's a no brainer to me. C'mon guys admit it, you've been with women far less attractive than Oprah, and guranteed much less rich.
Bad Boys Bad Boys... Whatcha Gonna Do?....
Since crime is at an all time low, all of our streets are safe to walk on anytime of the day, cancer has been cured, and nobody is getting mistreated in any way, anywhere, it's about time the police cracked down.... on booty crack that is....
That's right. Cities across this great nation of ours are beginning to crack down on people who sag their pants. Because we all know, there's nothing more damaging to the very fabric of our society than seeing Mookies chonies. Cities across the nation are passing ordinances that make sagging your pants in public illegal. Just another example of government's lack of proper prioritizing. No worries about corporate thievery, sub prime lenders that destroy people's futures, or failures in public school system, we have to worry about seeing Leroy's ducky boxers!
Frankly, people who sag their pants look like idiots, but they're not criminals. And even if they are criminals, kind of difficult to run from the po po with your dickies wrapped around your ankles. I submit that this mensa to the right is a much worse public menace and far more offensive. Why is there no clamor to arrest captain cakes over here? Only one difference I can see...
Just Because Mondays are Hard
Hey folks, what a rough weekend. Somebody should remind me to neeeeeeeever drink. I didn't even make it out the door to party. It's like getting injured during pre-game stretching. If you're having a tough Monday also, these videos should make you happy.
Be Happy With Who You Are!
Life is hard enough to get through. You have to survive puberty,pollution, chemicals in the food we eat, governmental oppression and fearmongering, you parent's screwing you up in the head, evil corporations, the police, and then you still have to deal with the haters! But are you hating on yourself?
We spend so much time trying to change who we are in order to appease society's standards. Trying to fit a mold, trying to be categorized correctly, attempting to re-create who we are because we are ashamed of reality. I say screw it! I've been going through a lot of change lately, being a better man, getting back my spirituality, eating healthier, working out, being financially responsible and I can honestly say all of these changes are for me and not to fit GQ's, Vogue's, or Diddy's standards. Who are you changing for? Do you make uncomfortable choices to appease a man? Do you go against your beliefs to be more palatable to so called friends? Do you deprive your self for the benefit of someone else's opinion? Time to set yourself free from the shackles of society and truly embrace the beauty that is you! Be happy with yourself, you are the result of your choices. If there's change in your life that needs to be made, make it for you and not for anyone else. If this guy can be happy with himself, anybody can.
Don't these rappers know we're in a recession?
Weezy's latest anthem "A Milli" may be a club banger but is out of touch with the reality of the rest of us scraping by to put grub on the table and to fill our Pinto with gas. Hell, even I had to start donating plasma just to make a couple of bucks. Rap has always been materialistic but these dudes are nuts. Not hating on Weezy F. Baby, just glad someone else is actually shedding light on the true nature of how the rest of us live, Like Asher Roth. Check out His joint, basically another remake of "A Milli" but with a better message. Click the Link below to hear "Chillionaire" (Warning song does contain explicit lyrics).
Let's All Go To The Drive-In!
Hey Peeps hope you had a great weekend. I had a chance to go to the Sarlite drive in to see a couple of movies. I forgot how much fun it is to go to a drive in movie. Wichita is lucky to still have a good drive in theatre as many in the country have had to shut down. Here are the movies I saw.
Hancock, starring Will Smith and Charlize Theron, is the story about of surly, reluctant, superhero whose antics have caused the public to turn on him. He uses a PR man, (Jason Bateman) to improve and re-invent his identity. The movie then takes a couple of twists and turns that I don't want to spoil for you. All in all, the movie was entertaining although at times the story was a bit discombobulated and frankly felt like three different movies rolled into one. All in all, you will be entertained and I do recommend this movie but was slightly disappointed by the movie's lack of focus.
Wall-E is the warm-hearted tale of a precocious Robot that finds love amongst another robot and on his quest to secure the booty (robot booty?), finds himself in a quest to save the planet. This movie was intrinsiclally endearing to young an old alike and also conveyed some extremely important social commentary. Messages of planetary conservation, personal health, and the warning of allowing corporations to intrude into every aspect of human life were all very well received. When making a movie that also serves as a social commentary, it's easy to become preachy and seem as though the filmmaker is on a soap box. Wall-E does a good job of relating these messages without passing judgement, or crossing the line into preachy-dom. I recommend this movie to young and old alike.
Check this dude out. In no way am I endorsing or advocating this kind of recklessness but you have to admit, this guy is off the chain. Charles Darwin believed in a concept called natural selection. It's an evolutionary trait that basically says the smartest and strongest of a species with thrive while the dumbasses will perish. Not sure which list this guy belongs on...
Time To Get A Lil Preachy Wit It...
What's the Point of that video? That no matter how bad you want something. No matter how much you focus on one thing, you will have setbacks, disappointments, flat out soul crushing failure. The key to happiness in life doesn't necessarily lie in your accomplishments, it lies in your attitudes. It's a cliche' but it's true, life is 10 percent what happens to you, and 90 percent how you react to it. Keep your attitudes in check, choose to be happy. When you find yourself slipping into sadness or disappointment, check it immediately and surround yourself with what makes you happy. Life can be a long heartbreaking jaunt full of regret or it can be a joyous ride full of wonderment and experience, you have to pick which life you want for you. Love, peace, and hair grease, Deuce.
Blogs Were Meant to Be Helpful... Sometimes.
What you've all been waiting for, and by all, I mean none. Finally, a guide on how to be a gangsta!
Something Stupid To Complain About
I've been here 15 months now and have grown to love the Dub K. Great people, lots of fun things to do, and the best radio listeners on the planet. One thing I haven't gotten used to though, is the left turns in this town!
What's the deal with people just stopping in the middle of busy roads to turn left? C'mon folks if Wichita is going to be considered a real town, time to invest in some turn lanes! There's nothing more infuriating than rushing to a booty call at 2:30 in the afternoon only to be held up by a soccer mom trying to turn left on Rock road with 30 cars behind her. Quit being a douche and drive to a light and turn around or something.
Aside from the obvious lack of consideration, it's also extremely dangerous. I'm sure this practice causes lots of accidents because people are ill prepared to slow down. I don't have time to pay attention to you! I'm busy eating a double cheeseburger, programming my DVD player and surfing the internet while I drive!
They say that cat Deuce is a sexy mother blogger.
What's up folks? So the corporate suits want us to start blogging as a way for you to get to know your favorite (or least favorite) Power93.9 DJ's. Gee, I hope I can type. Here's alittle info about me. I'm 20 something, born and raised in Denver, CO home of cows and buck toothed quarterbacks. I love playing basketball, stand-up comedy, and old school hip-hop. You can always hit me up with a question or comment at www.myspace.com/deucepower939 or shoot me an email at deuce@power939.com.
Here I am Grabbin' Cherish booty. It was well worth the restraining order. These chicks are way prettier in person than they are on TV. Way outta of my league. But hey, your great aunt Bertha honestly, is probably out of my league.
Thanks for listening to Power93.9 you can always catch me on Monday-Friday from 6pm until 11pm or streaming at www.power939.com
Ok so every once in a while, I'll get an e-mail from someone asking for advice. (I'm not sure why either) Anyway, if you have a question for me, feel free to send an e-mail to
