RIP LISA'CURLY DREW I MISS YOU EVERYDAY
.. 
iI have experienced in my life the unfortunate loss of many close to me some thru violent acts of murder to car crashes and some who like me who nearly st there life in the line of duty with the recent passing of my dear friend Andrew Test Martin had me thinking about why god has chosen to take those who I care about and why I survived the ordeals I have in my encounters with the reeper and walked away to fight another day...They say the great ones die young from Allyiah to Bernie Mac to Heath Ledger all these talented people and some who I knew on a personal level felt those who haven't read my bio to remind you of a another great treasure that was taken too soon...Curly Drew is what I used to call her Drew, Elisabeth 'Lisa' Actress/Model/Dancer employee of the Alliance Entertainment Group and more important my close friend who died Tragically on Saturday November 4, 2006 age 29 years when she decided to take her own life by jumping of a 17 story building hurts still as much as when my best friend killed himself in front of me back in 1993 a memory on why I dont ever really celebrate the holidays anymore considering it happened on New Years
Lisa Drew was a Cherished and precious daughter of Heidi Neal (David) and Les Drew (Morag)Lisa will be sadly missed by her two sisters Jennifer (Serge) and Vanessa, cherished niece Roxy, and fondly remembered by grandparents Susan Leeman, Cay and Orv Neal, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends
IF YOU HAVE EVER LOST A FRIEND OR WITNESS SOMEONE COMMIT SUICIDE OR WATCHED IT'S A PAIN THAT NEVER GOES AWAY..
I DON'T DO ANY OF THIS HOLLYWOOD STUFF FOR MONEY OR FAME I DO IT FOR MY FATHER & TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE WHO HAVE TRULY STOOD BY ME SINCE DAY ONE AND THOSE LESS FORTUNATE

Lisa Drew truly was one of those special gifts of god
I was truly blessed to know this woman and as well got the privelage of working with her for so many years and it didnt matter in our extremly busy lives that we may have lost touch but when we did see each other it was like we had only been apart for a day..
I can't accept the fact that your gone for 4yrs now..so I wont and know that I will see you again some day my friend.
Lisa was one of those girls who always stood seperate from everyone else from the first time we ever met .. A model dancer singer,bartender Lisa did it all,
I have so many fond memories of her from working with her partying it up the rides to events and go-go dancing together at all the clubs back in the day in the beginning of my career in entertainment and it breaks my heart deeply as I was on a the road taking after boarding a plane to get the news of her passing and flew back immediately to attend her funeral.. I still have and will for along time not excpet that fact she is gone ..
I cant let Lisa go,the part of her that lives in my heart. My warm memories of Lisa will be with me all the days of my life, and I will cherish every one of them. They will give me strength when I'm weak and happiness when I'm down.
I'll only have to remember your smile, and my hope will be renewed. I'll only have to think about the way your eyes touched something deep inside of me,
I'll remember that the admiration and respect I had for her will bond our souls to another eternally.
I will never ever let the love and friendship go I am so greatful to have shared with her for you,I will always hold u in my heart forerver lisa u were a great friend and i will miss u terribly,
I dedicate everyday of reaching the ultimate success in my career to you Lisa I was a better person because of you and I will never let anyone forget you and I carry you in my heart everyday and I will see you again my friend I love you Curly..
I am here for all of you who I have sent this to I share with u that Suicide is no joke...and from personal experience almost reaching that point myself when a certain time in my life. I felt so alone attempted the same thing but thanks to a few key people that helped me thru those difficult times and also losing my best friend Josh Hughes who killed himself in front of me back in 94,
If things are hard and u feel that u have no answers or need to talk please call me day or night or leave me a msg with your email address and even if im not in the country my close contacts have ways to reach me in case of an emergency..I will never judge I will only listen and give u prespective..
Don't feel embarrassed to talk to someone and open up ..no matter what the sitaution is ..
FROM ONE EX DANCER TO ANOTHER LISA I DEDICATE THIS VIDEO IN YOUR MEMORY CAUSE YOU ON THE DANCEFLOOR WERE SIMPLY DANGEROUS.. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY TO GO BACK TO HOME PAGE OF THIS SITE http://blog.myspace.com/dteflon

 DTEFLON & MENTOR AND ONE OF HIS CLOSEST FRIENDS & BUISNESS ASSOCIATES IN THE INDUSTRY DAVID SHARK FRALICK IN LOS ANGELES OCT 17 2009 CHECK OUT WWW.MYSPACE.COM/SHARKFRALICK
OCT 25 2009...ABOUT TO FACE THE BIGGEST BATTLE EVER..
Its been 20yrs since I opened the doors of Alliance Entertainment and alot has changed as I have changed alot of things within the company with staff and the new direction of my focus and now merging fwd as Obama said it was time for change and Yes We can and for me when its all said and done Yes We did. It was a long battle tothe top when you gotta deal with those haters who want to see you fail but somehow with the true support of those who believed in me I have turned a small promo nightclub company into one of the top companies in the entertainment industry ..
For those close to me in my personal life know that Now I am preparing for another battle as those closest to me know whats going on but for the ones who don't I just wanted to say I will be taking some time off for a while as I am going for a major surgery tommorow and for my peeps and co workers who have left me your msgs I do thank you all for your prayers and I hope I will be able to get thru this in one piece
 REUNITING AFTER A LONG TIME WITH MY HOME GIRL THE BEAUTIFUL AND VERY TALENTED DESIRE YEAKANI THE TRUE NEXT TOP MODEL IN CANADA AND ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO KNOW IN THE INDUSTRY TODAY WHERE THAT IS VERY HARD TO FIND
I can tell u its been a battle I will tell you but I know I've been getting thru it the best way I can with all your love and support hope you haven't forgot about me already Over the past few months since dealing with this matter I have had time to to reflect but on what we have to be greatful for so I thank you for your support as so many changes have taken place with my company
As biz grows I have been going thru personal hell the last year, if you've been reading my blogs, you know that I've pulled away in an effort to take the time to concentrate purely on myself my career and taking care of biz..
Something for the past 18yrs in the entertainment industry on my rise to continue to make it to the top I really didn't do as I spent a life time it feels making other dreams come true while I don't regret that I LOVE The feeling of seeing people reach there full potential but as I found out this past week some people who I thought were greatful and truly appreciative are just plain selfish and really only there for themselves and like they say peoples true colours eventually show in time of need and since then I have had a chance to reflect back on something in the past some advice I should have took from a close friend after a near death situation last year on the job that b4 u go out and save the world u sometimes need to sit back and save yourself so I had decided I had some personal things in my life that I needed to clean up and change. I needed time for me.
 DANIEL GODDARD AKA CANE ASHBY FROM YOUNG & THE RESTLESS ACTOR DTEFLON AND THOM BIERDZ AKA PHILLIP CHANCELLOR FROM YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS EVENING WITH THE STARS HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA 2009
Not in what I have gone thru in my life changes over the years Of course whenever you make great changes, not everyone is going to be able to accept the new you....it's not that they don't want to...it's just difficult...they mourn for the person you were. Never-mind that the changes were for the better...some people just can't handle it. I understand that. The great thing about it all is not only have I made changes for the betterment of myself...but I've also had the chance to see who my TRUE friends are.

As my career in show biz took off and people who for years who only knew me as the guy who ran nightclubs were suddenly turning on there tv and seeing me in movies working with the likes of Tom Cruise and Jaime Foxx to seeing me on Entertainment Tonight standing next to Justin Timberlake and Morgan Freeman were suddenly like hey u remember me but mean while when I went thru some of the worst times in my life this same people were no where to be found I realized D its time I had to weed the drainers out and realize who the ones are that are truly supportive of me for me...
OFF DA RECORD OCT 25 2009 MOVING FWD AND NOT LOOKING BACK
Hey how are you my friends I know its been quite sometime since I have wrote an email been struggling thru work as I have been travelling like crazy from Florida to L.A to Vegas to Toronto to Florida and back I havent had a chance to even breathe

So...I've gone through this faze.I am so thankful for the true people who have supported whether it be the parties I have thrown over the years since coming to Canada in the early 90's to create some of the most memorable nightclub events that Toronto has ever seen to the people who have supported my film/tv bodyguarding career since day 1
I've come to see who's truly good for me in my life and who isn't....
With all of that being said...I've come to find out that sometimes the more success you make in your life the more people seem to drop like flys at least the ones you thought had your back...For me wether it's been relationships or friendships its just hard to find people that know the true meaning of loyalty,I guess that would explain when my father used to say to me growing up sometimes 2 friends is too many and one friend is too much..
I know with the past 4 yrs since me an my ex split and I have remained off the dating scene and concentrated on taking care of biz with my career I have found one thing is that the past 4yrs that I haven't let anyone in my life on a romantic level after the pain I went thru on so many missed shots of thinking you can have that true love actually last I realized that if i didn't let anyone in then I didn't have to worry about dissapoinment...Now don't get me wrong I have been ready to start something new with someone for the past 2yrs but I just don't have the time for the b.s and in my line of work It's been hard to know that a person is with u for the right reasons or mainly just there because of a convience for them...that even goes with people who I thought were my friends when I faced some of the worst moments behind closed doors Slowly my circle...my core....is becoming smaller...but....more valuable than ever.
The woman who knows me better then most and the one woman who has been truly my best friend and truly the only one that has always had my back who probaly the only female I trust in this world inside and outside of the biz and who I cherish more then life who has been there thru it all in the past 5 yrs to be there when I truly felt alone Those who know Aylen and are privelage to know her the way I do know she is truly the most beautiful woman more inside then out my lil sis aka Mami Aylen Alvarez http://allianceentertainment.org/Models/Aylen.html
There are a select few I would say there are a small list of others friends who I do appreciate the ones who have never changed for accepting me for me. I value the relationships that remain and have been able to sustain through the challenges of my time of great positive change...and to the small circle that I have that have bothered to check up on me or pay me a visit thru frequent trips to the docs or shown up on set at work or at the club I thank you from the bottom of my heart and for all the fans and supporters who have watched my movie to tv shows to private events without you I wouldnt be able to get thru some of the things I go thru....Building this empire has been a journey but you know who you are if your still with me.
Checking out...

It may seem to those that have known me for a long time that I've checked out of my life. I recently had a chance to connect with a few life long friends who were off doing there thing in there career but isn't it great to have a bond with people that even though you may not be in contact not because they give you the b.s reason on they didn't have time but those who may either be out of the country like my best friend who I grew up with and have known for over 20 yrs my boy Ian who has been off in Iraq defending the country and my boy Merwin Mondesair who has been making his moves in the film industry and another person who has become an important part of my life my good friend Model Viktoria Manzinni from Europe it was so good to have that break with all the chaos at times in my hectic life.
 First, let me begin with the reason for me writing this little blog at all... I know that those of you who love me might feel confused or abandoned by me. I apologize for this feeling of loss. I'm writing this specifically for you...
I've been going through a significant change. It's a change within myself...my perceptions, my needs, and my desires. I want to say it's been a gradual shift, but it really hasn't. It's actually been a fairly swift takeover. It was somewhat intentional in the beginning, but now it's come to take on a life of it's own.
The things that I once thought so important, have been set upon the back-burner, lost by the wayside...the people, the situations, the ideals I put on a pedestal no longer pull on my heart strings the way they once had.
Please don't take my words harshly. I'm in no way attempting to hurt or disregard the importance of things that were at the forefront. I'm simply making an attempt at precise honesty without the tiptoe.
 I've been on a meaningful journey within. I'VE been the focus in my life...of course I have to and very much want to give the undivided attention to reaching all the goals cause one thing I have learned in with the health setbacks is that whatever time we have on this earth is luck and I realized when I made my path to go to make my name in Hollywood the easy part was getting there the hard part for most is staying there and I have busted my ass too much to come this far and not finish what I started......but for the most part, I've been cleaning out my inner closet...realizing what is really important in my life.
I can't tell you how long I'll be...
I can only tell you that when I reemerge after all the things that are going on and believe me there is some major things happening personally and professionally I won't quite be the man that I once was. I can't promise that you'll love me because the me that I'm quickly becoming is so vastly different from the me that I've left in the past...
 AT THE GROVE IN LOS ANGELES WITH LONG TIME FRIEND SHERI NADEL OF REAL TV FILMS
The only promise that I can keep and have already been able to attain is this...I will indeed love me...I will love me for me. and those who have known me truly if you have been out with me outside of the scene or chilled with me at my house in Florida or at my 2nd home in Toronto Canada know that I have never tried to be something I am not and Everything that I have accomplished in my professional career is thru hard work and dedication and never taking a backseat to anyone I have worked my ass for what I believe in I keep it real and never been afraid to speak my mind on anything and have taken any challenge put in front of me and defeated it
 I can tell you this Hollywood show biz has not changed me I am still the same person I have always been some people lose themselves in show biz and whether you have recently seen me on the big screen that I have nor will I ever put myself as a larger then life celebrity I just look at myself as someone who wanted shit just a little bit more then someone else so to the future I can promise this No need for the quick fix, the dead end life sucking one sided relationships, approval from those who claim to love me...no more repeated requests for the same courtesy I give to be given, or any other leeching type event, situation, or person needed.
 I know I may sound angry, even bitter, but I to promise you that I'm neither. I'm actually in a really good place, and I'm doing well on my journey. I still love you no matter the outcome of my return and with that being said I am going to be having an upcoming private charity event over the holidays called House Party that I am personally extending you a formal invitation so I hope you will schedule the date off and look out for the email rsvp in your inbox

After reading this very important blog go back to my page and Check the left side of updates on what's up with me for the next few months but on a very important note I have been taking the time off to recuperate as I was recently in the hospital going thru some serious health issues..The situation isn't resolved and its a struggle everyday trying to get thru it as I am now fighting thru the pain and getting back on the job even though I should be in bed longer cant do it...
Success waits for no one and If on uncle and my father who has battled disability for a good portion of his life is that life like getting into a boxing ring u gonna take hits no matter what but its about taking the hits and keep moving fwd no matter what and the guy who is willing to die in that fight is going to win that fight and trust me
I will win this but over the past few weeks sitting on the bench per say I have had alot of time to reflect on a few things close to my heart from friends past and current to relationships love life who's been there and who hasn't those who are loyal and those who are not in my life and those that just expect too fucking much I'm DTeflon not superman .

I DO WHAT I can for those because I want to and not to expect things in return..but its like the more u give the more people take Don't get me wrong I love watching people make it to the fullest potential and those who wish to take this ride with me are welcome but hold on cause im not gonna hold ur hand every step of the way...I recently had a phone conversation with a buddy of mine an Actor who moved out to Los Angeles from NYC and he asked me a question I don't think not even the media who covers some of my life stories a bodyguard on why do I do it why do I put my life in harms way to protect others and Do I not value my own life...
 KRISTOFF ST JOHN AKA NEIL WINTERS OF YOUNG & THE RESTLESS AND DTELON IN L.A AT DAVID SHARK'S BDAY PARTY
I honestly couldn't answer the question but after a few days processing it I can say I DO WHAT I do not for the reward of hero but just dedication of the pay it fwd you do for others and look after others and hope that in a situation they would do the same..
.I think everyone has a bit of bodyguard instinct we will pretty much do anything to protect our loved ones if they feel threatened and I look at it the same way for my clients My job peoples perception is that we are only in someone's life to protect them from physical threat and that is not the truth we are there to protect them from all threats of life but as Individuals we are also responsible for the things and actions in our own life but watching who we associate with and if you are verbally attacked the only way to someone's to conquer ones hate is to show love but stand up and defend yourself if it is a life or death situation and as I said those who are willing to die in the fight will win the fight.
 ONE OF CALIFORNIA'S TOP PHOTOGRAPHERS MY DEAR MAMACITA KAT D IN SAN DIEGO OCT 9TH 2009
I have lived by this code for so many years from my time growing up as a kid in the streets to fighting the bully's I have always been the one that people have came to for help it just sometimes I will admit gets exhausting when you feel like the weight of the world is on you...and your backed into a corner and your expected to just have the answers to everyone's problems ..and when you are going thru shit it just seems that people are there not because they want to but more out of self pity..
I have had so many twist and turns in my life over the years with people but If your in my top ten on my right side of my myspace fansite page www.myspace.com/dteflon you know that you are the few people who have remained constant in my life and have never changed and I love you for that
Have you ever asked yourself when going thru something bad that when your in a relationship with a bf or gf would this person be really by my side if they were just my friend
Have you ever been forced into a situation that had nothing to do with you and were forced to make a choice that could end up costing you everything
Sometimes we are put into impossible situations that our out of our control but I will say no matter how much the situation may seem at an end..Remember everything thing that has a beginning has an end.
WELL IM SIGNING OFF NOW THATS MY WORD AND ITS SIMPLY OFF DA RECORD NOT SURE WHEN MY NEXT BLOG WILL BE AS I WILL NEED SOME TIME TO RECOVER AFTER SURGERY BUT THANK U ALL AGAIN AND KNOW THAT IM THINKING OF U ALL GOD BLESS

SO LADIES I ASK YOU IS LOVE NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT WORK THESE DAYS So I constantly get asked what my relationship status is and so I am finally going to answer my reason behind Being single for over 5yrs since my split with Sam many people ask the reason why i havent even dated nor been with anyone since her well in my last relationship Samantha was truly the love of my life but if there is one thing that i got left with me from that relationship inside is the pain when u realize when u give so much and it still doesnt work love is truly not enough..
OFF DA RECORD THOUGHTS BY DTEFLON IS LOVE TRULY ENOUGH TO MAKE A RELATIONSHIP WORK THESE DAYS? What do u Think
The Break up and ups and downs of a friendship or relationship....We have all been there..this is addressed to all my peeps who are sick to death like me of hearing the excuses,,,,,,, Like for example any one of these sound familiar

'Its not you its me'......I just need some time......I just don't know what I want anymore,I just need time to be by myself
Sound familiar?
Mad Milkensen from The Movie Casino Royale & Actor Bodyguard DTeflon@ Bad Liteunant Premiere Personally just remembering some of those less than sparkling moments in my life makes me feel a little nauseous and makes me sick to my stomach I am sure no one likes being on the receiving end of a break-up...Then again, no one likes doing the break-up either. Anyway you look at it breaking up with someone is never an easy thing to go through, There is distress and turmoil on both sides
BAZZLE DERRICK DTEFLON LING FUNKMASTER FLEX IN NYC
Regardless, Its probably safe to say the dumpee suffers the most especially if he or she never saw it coming.
After being royally screwed in a relationship 4yrs ago and an engagement to another prior that turned really ugly on me at the last minute and I saw her true side...and then being used by someone who I cared about for 4yrs of my life who I felt that could have eventually been my soulmate but that was not meant to be cause the person never was true to me with there feelings so now after going thru each painful ordeal I have realized that people should pay more attention to the bad in people at first rather then get to caught up emotionally in all the good things...Patience is the virtue and good things come to those who wait.
ACTRESS ANGELICA LISK FROM ALIEN VS PREADATOR & DTEFLON
If you can work through all the bad with someone then it makes the good that more enjoyable later.
So with that time that I realize I truly have spent alone for the last few years of my life looking for the special kind of love that I believed only exist for y&r soapstars and in fairytale movies that I truly realize that...
LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH!
INTERNATIONAL FHM BOLLYWOOD SUPERMODEL & PRODUCER DERRICK DTEFLON LING AT ADM TALENT EXPO 2008 Sometimes when I came home after a long day of work and look back on everything that I have tried to do to be the loving person that God has told me I should be and to share that love to others around me but I realize with all the hurt that is going on in the world right now....not only in my life but everywhere it seems with all the fighting in the world no amount of love you can show a person in a friendship or relationship can make it work ACTORS BENZ ANTOINE AND DERRICK DTEFLON LING AT ALLIANCE ENTERTAINMENT ANNIVERSARY CELEBS CRUISE You can love each other but not be right for one another. We live in a society that glorifies love. You know they rode into the sunset and lived happily ever after and all that bs. It's a wonderful theory for some but in my life I realize that finding the right girl is like finding the right job or career.
Just because your good at something doesn't make a career of it, Moreover making a career of something doesn't necessarily make you good at it.
I realize in a relationship between 2 people and I will say it again 2 people not the one side relationships that seem to happen everywhere these days you must practice listening and trying to understand your man or woman if you want your relationship to work.
There are lots of things (and people).....that we'd love to do. But very few of them are a sure long term fit. Let's face it just because you love playing football doesn't make you a star quarterback.

I have been guilty of this and I am sure many of you who are in a relationship right now that isn't truly the way you want it stay together long after they should have gone their separate ways. 'Recoginzing that two people can love each other but just not be able to make an intimate relationship work is the basis of letting go without the guilt and letting go with forgiveness. If you have been fighting with your man or woman for weeks or even months and you just can't seem to fix, To me it is like standing in quick sand the more you try to fight it the more it pulls you under to the point that your all choked up and you can't breathe and you get pulled down even farther until you in over your head.
So if you are going through that phase in your relationship that maybe it is just time to say, I love you but we are just not right for each other then maybe you can move on with a clear conscience.
DERRICK DTEFLON LING & ACTRESS VIVICA FOX ..I once believed there was a time that men managed a monopoly on the subject and actually stay true and women stayed true in the relationships. but from all the bs I have seen how men who were the dogs get dogged for being dogged and those men who are the way they are probaly at one point gave a shit and believed in commitment until they got burned themselves and turned them into the way they are.., but women have managed to even the odds considerably. ACTOR DTEFLON AND MAXIM MODEL DANYA DIXON AT DTEFLON HOUSE PARTY People cheat in relationships for a myriad of reasons, and everyone has the justification on why they did it and rationales to match every occasion. Being unfulfilled, bored, and having an insatiable sex drive always make the top ten. Can you answer me this question..then the way people are so untrustworthy these days whether it be in friendship or relationship..The people who are dogs are they wrong for doing it or are they just smarter then most to fuck that person over in the relationship b4 they get burned themseleves.. But to me simply put if u care about someone there is no need to do it Period....and if u are tempted then either break it off with that person b4 the deep involvement gets worse and the hurt goes even deeper which that person when the persons eventually finds out your dishonest actions Men try and maintain that is simply their animalistic nature to seek no need, more than one partner and women have successfully petitioned against that double standard. I am not always sure about the natural element of monogamy. I think it works naturally for a very small percentage of people. For the rest it is a matter of conditioning and essentially buying into the system. That may sound like a less than romantic viewpoint on the subject, but think about it. 
If you believe in relationships and the idea of committing to someone you have to accept the balancing act of the concessions needed to be involved with that person.
It is easy to accept that women have dictated the philosophies and importance of monogamy in relationships. If given the chance men would always keep their options open, but they in fact love the idea of their woman being completely faithful. So men make the concession, at least verbally, to stay faithful just to ensure that their woman does.
CHEATERS WHEN WILL IT STOP
Cheating is an inherently selfish act. Whether the justification is made because of a void in your relationship, the drive to placate an active libido or the need for diversity in your diet, people cheat for selfish reasons. Now the downside of cheating is only normally discussed in reference to someone getting caught. From the obviousness of getting caught in the act to strong suspicions that won't go away, we probably wouldn't even discuss the subject if people werent so sloppy and inconsistent in their behavior changes. DONT CHEAT YOUR GONNA GET BUSTEDThough it doesn't necessarily deter many of us, we are all well aware of the fallout from cheating. Pain, heartache, feeling of loss and eventually breakups of not only individuals but families and lack of trust maybe with the other person or within yourself if you are the one that has done the cheating. One often overlooked element to cheating is how much it actually hurts relationships even when no one is actually caught. When someone cheats in what is supposed to be a committed, monogamous, relationship he or she is essentially taking away time, money and feelings from their partner. Simply put, you are giving a part of you to someone other than your partner. Your actions are also dictating that you do not buy in to the relationship system and if you do not fully buy into them you will never give it or your partner the proper time and attention it needs to grow in to something substantial. Who are we kidding, relationships are work and like a job we have two choices. You commit to it and put in the hours and energy and the politicking necessary to make it work or you bulls***, clock in, cash a check until they either fire you or you find something else first. The bottom line is you have a choice, and if conventional relationships are not for you then either find an unconventional partner or dont agree to commit. In the end it is a waste of your time and someone will invariably get hurt. But, if you are going to commit to Commitment then do it all the way. If it doesnt work then you have the closure of knowing that you did everything possible and it wasnýt the right situation. Breaking up is never easy, but when it is filled with regrets it that was makes the breakup so much more difficult. So do not cheat yourself or your partner. IF YOUR NOT GONNA GIVE IT YOUR ALL DONT COMMIT INTO A RELATIONSHIP IN THE FIRST PLACEGive it your all or keep it moving or as I say or don't get in the relationship in the first place. if you don't feel u have that self control ..and I say this if u have done it once u will do it again..and if u jump into a relationship with a person b4 your truly ready to let go of your past and even if you have been cheated on b4 or mistreated in a relationship doesn't give a person the right to take out your emotions of pain out on a person who would have given u the world. Thats my thoughts for the day ..and they are simply off da record...Feel free to comment would love to hear what u have to say on this topic D-TEFLON RIP MY FRIEND DAVID CARRADINE ANOTHER LEGEND TAKEN WAY TO SOON!

OFF DA RECORD BY DTEFLON
TODAYS TOPIC
CHEATERS WHO IS REALLY WINNING THE GAME
There's a saying behind every good man is a good woman..but like sisqo said u could have everything but without the good woman in your life Life is truly incomplete. 
I get pissed when people who have everything in the world for them all the money all the glitz and glamour but behind that for a man who has all the bling bling is usually a good woman..Who is fine as hell..but then the Kobe Bryants,Eric Benets Rick Fox's out there or the club heads that come to the club who have a good or man or woman at home fuck it up for all the people out there who don't cheat ...
Check out the Launch of DTeflon Fashion at www.myspace.com/dteflonvipYou probaly thinking as your reading my thoughts not another sad song about demonic men or treasonous women. Well I hope that I can add something different to a subject that is more discussed than JLO's ass: Cheating. What an ugly word. I donýt know of any other word that has no redeeming value. B**** and D*** are unflattering as adjectives, but even they can be used positively in a sentence. Adjective, adverb or noun, there is no positive connotation to the word.
There was a time that men managed a monopoly on the subject, but women have managed to even the odds considerably. People cheat in relationships for a myriad of reasons, and everyone has the justification and rationales to match every occasion. Being unfulfilled, bored, and having an insatiable sex drive always make the top ten. Men try and maintain that is simply their animalistic nature to seek no need, more than one partner and women have successfully petitioned against that double standard.

I am not always sure about the natural element of monogamy. I think it works naturally for a very small percentage of people. For the rest it is a matter of conditioning and essentially buying into the system. That may sound like a less than romantic viewpoint on the subject, but think about it.
If you believe in relationships and the idea of committing to someone you have to accept the balancing act of the concessions needed to be involved with that person. It is easy to accept that women have dictated the philosophies and importance of monogamy in relationships. If given the chance men would always keep their options open, but they in fact love the idea of their woman being completely faithful. So men make the concession, at least verbally, to stay faithful just to ensure that their woman does.
..
Cheating is an inherently selfish act. Whether the justification is made because of a void in your relationship, the drive to placate an active libido or the need for diversity in your diet, people cheat for selfish reasons. Now the downside of cheating is only normally discussed in reference to someone getting caught. From the obviousness of getting caught in the act to strong suspicions that wonýt go away, we probably wouldnýt even discuss the subject if people werenýt so sloppy and inconsistent in their behavior.
 Though it doesnt necessarily deter many of us, we are all well aware of the fallout from cheating. Pain, heartache, breakups of not only individuals but families and lack of trust.

One often overlooked element to cheating is how much it actually hurts relationships even when no one is actually caught.
Former AE Promo Model and long time friend over 10yr Arlene
When someone cheats in what is supposed to be a committed, monogamous, relationship he or she is essentially taking away time, money and feelings from their partner.
Your actions are also dictating that you do not buy in to the relationship system and if you do not fully buy into them you will never give it or your partner the proper time and attention it needs to grow in to something substantial.
Who are we kidding, relationships are work and like a job we have two choices. You commit to it and put in the hours and energy and the politicking necessary to make it work or you bulls***, clock in, cash a check until they either fire you or you find something else first.
The bottom line is you have a choice, and if conventional relationships are not for you then either find an unconventional partner or dont agree to commit.
DTEFLON & PRO FITNESS MODEL JULIE MARSLAND AT AE SECRETS MODEL & TALENT SEARCH EXPO
In the end it is a waste of your time and someone will invariably get hurt. But, if you are going to commit to Commitment then do it all the way. If it doesnt work then you have the closure of knowing that you did everything possible and it wasnýt the right situation. Breaking up is never easy, but when it is filled with regrets it that was makes the breakup so much more difficult. So do not cheat yourself or your partner.
Give it your all or keep it moving or as I say Keep on Bouncing..

OFF DA RECORD THOUGHTS BY DTEFLON DECEPTION IS SOMETIMES WHEN LOOK IN THE MIRROR YOU DON'T SEE THE FAKE BEHIND THE GLASS
SPOTTING THE FAKE FROM THE REAL IN SHOW BIZ AND THE REAL WORLD
DTEFLON&MY TRUE BFF MY LIL SIS AYLEN ALVAREZ 2009 WE GOT THE HATERS GOING DOWN FOR THE COUNT
Lately I have been really missing my home town and I say this only because I believe that NYC is the greatest city on earth and I do know at one point I will return for good I always get tears in my eyes returning back to my old playground that I call home still ever since 9/11 its just still feels like yesterday that it happened but so many great memories of Nyc considering that my first few clients major clients in the biz started in New York and I am greatful to all the amazing people that I have worked with in my time in the early years of my career but the one thing I will always admire about new york and why it is the greatest city on earth is for the realness of the Real New Yorkers, that honestly cant be compared to any other city... This week i had some recent events happen where like always you really know who is on the real and who is the fake,  You ever had someone tell you after you been there for them thru good and bad& say if u ever in a jam I got ur back then go back on there word when it& comes time to cash in...Well I tell you people now I know why I keep my circle small but the one thing that 9/11 taught nyc and why if it had happened anywhere else the city wouldnt have recovered as fast because real new yorkers look out for each other in times of need not like in some places people fend for themselves,,I believe as the great tony montana said all we have in this world is our word and his balls and he dont break them for nothing....and I have lived by that modo since I dont say things I dont mean and dont make promises I cant keep..And I find out there is alot of selfish people who only think of themselves but then there are some real mother fuckers who earned my respect more say then most get in this biz from me cause you realize that the true people who are your friends in show biz are there for you not when your driving the fancy car or in the limo but will be there for you to give you a lift in when the limo breaks down..and there are 3 individuals that I have to give the ultimate respect to Gaetano,Tony& Flames New York is a better place everyday because of people like you and you all deserve to get the& very best out of life and for the people I won't even give the credit of even calling ur a new yorker cause you dont know the essence of what it means,but with that off da record being said  Its been a while since I have seen many of my peeps and chatted with a few of you so please drop me a line or give me a call for those who actually have my number and let me know what u been up to I have been keeping quite busy with work and when I actually have a day off b4 u wouldnt have to pull my arm to go out..but I think since I broke up with my girl a few years ago and haven..t been on the dating scene in now almost 3yrs I pretty much & keep it low key these days and just relaxed with a few friends or read a good book or just&watch a movie..I feel like my party days are over.
I guess working as a Celebrity Bodyguard&Actor Running a nightclub and also my duties in the film production and as well managing talent&u get so used to&being on the road so many days a year and in and out of all the celebrity parties and afterparties and when I am back home in Sarasota or my other home in Toronto or travelling for work and going thru customs constant&;time changes &I am to burnt out or wanting to do anything club related or yet alone anything...and as the holiday season approaches i find& myself chosing to just be& chilling on days off as this time can be kind of depressing&
Me and my partner in crime Actor Andrew Byrniarski dont call him leatherface akaThomas Hewiit from the Texas Chainsaw Mascare or some of you remember him as Latimmer in the Program& chilling out in L.A at the Grove It may also have to do with when I am back in t.o
running the nightclub dealing with all the drama and fake smiles and shit from people who could really careless about u just more wanting a hook up or girls and there push up bras wanting a drink ticket and not even remembering my name or to even have the class to say thank you when there leaving the club
DTEFLON IBFF PRO FITNESS MODEL NANCY DI NINO ON DTEFLON'S PRIVATE CRUISE JULY 2008
After a while you just get kind of tired of the same 'ol, same 'ol stuff. I just don't understand how so many of those 'Hollywood' socialites/actresses or whatever constantly party. and I never quite understood why these celebs who have all the money in the world..when u go out and u know u have a drinking or drug problem why u are getting behind the wheel of a car to drive when u could just call ur driver...
I know for me and its not like I go drinking everynight and I have never touched narcotics in the 20yrs I have been in the biz not even a cigarette or weed...I know if I have had more then 3 drinks I will call my driver to come get me..I aint even a millionaire ...yet...lol and even I am smart enough to know I shouldn't get behind the wheel..Its pretty weird for me that as you see my life has taken a major turn outside of the club industry into the film industry and celebrity lifestyle as a Hollywood Bodyguard to the Stars I see alot of shit u wouldnt believe ..and when u see stars like Britanny and Lindsay Lohan and Amy Winehouse doing all these crazy things..I really hope and ;wish;one day I will get the contracts for these girls especially Britney who I have met but would love to work for and put that girl in line..b4 she ends up killing herself..She is a talented girl who is just so lost right now and it seems like no one is stepping up to take control..
Owners of the Alliance Entertainment Group DTeflon & my buisness partner Chris Stewart aka DJ Kid C with Recording Arist Rhea at my bday bash I just don't understand who is the blame for there actions but I can see why so many of them are going down the shithole because when you are empty inside and have no real sense of self-purpose in this world, you lose yourself. Once that happens you start to look upon others for the stamp of approval.
Everything you do will no longer be about what you believe in, but will be for other people's approval of you, and that is why I think a lot of the 'hollywood' young girls out there have lost their way.
I realize that I have developed a bad habit… and it's one that I have despised in others. People that dont take responsbility for there own actions... 'My father once said
'We are all responsible for our actions and only we know where our actions will lead us When things aren't going well it is quite easy to look at those around you and find fault in their actions and inadequacies. It's not a harsh statement as much as a realistic expression of an inevitability. People mess up and make mistakes. We are all flawed and unfortunately those flaws do not vanish at the times when we most need them to. Recently I have caught myself, in conversations with friends, discussing the various habits and issues of those around me. Sounds like normal enough talk, but my venting was more indicative of frustration. Frustration of my circumstances which seemed to b a proximate cause of the ineptitude and lack of direction of others. It was just so easy to point out what everyone else was not doing as the main reason I hadn't turned the corner in my business pursuits. My friends would listen patiently and in agreement as I pointed out the deficiencies of those close to me. If my brother showed more effort, or my significant other didn't stress me at the most inopportune times and my business partners weren't so bull headed… then I would be where I needed to be…The reality is that there was probable a considerable degree of truth in my assessment of those closest to me both personally and professionally. However, I will take both responsibility and credit for ensuring that my blame sessions only amounted to momentary lapses of consciousness. There is always something or someone who can be blamed or used as a scapegoat for our deficiencies. People all have there reasons like with rappers in the industry &start by telling you that pops left before I was born, and mom never hugged or told me she loved me… blah blah ' We all have a story to tell… Yet the truth is that you never have to look further than yourself to find the proximate cause of your concerns. It was so easy for me to look to others and their shortcomings as the reasons that I was not reaching my goals as quickly and easily as I had planned. Yet, all I had to do was look no further than myself to see the reasons I wasn't achieving my goals faster.
One of DTEFLON'S Major clients Hollywod Film Producer Photo Courtsey - Geore Pimentel Wireimage of Randall Emmett of EFF Films &DTeflon at Instyle Hollywood Event My own personality habits and issues are the ultimate reason I am where I am at this stage in my life. I yesh have had many set backs but my father taught me the reason why people fall down is to pick themselves back up again and now that I am grown I realize falling down wasnt such a bad thing cause it made me realize what is important and to all go after what you want in life since I have been maintaining that since I was 12 years old, I take sole responsibility for the decisions that have brought me to this point in life. Now life is far from bad, and far from good;I have seen and experienced things that I&wish I hadn't and I know I have been blessed now to have some great people who helped shape my career in the entertainment industry to what it is today, but I know that I can't have it both ways. I can't take pride in the credit of the successes of MY hard work but passively play the blame game when things don't progress at the speed that I'd like to at times when im having a down day but It's aB.S. cop out and one that I had previously taken pride in not taking. So, I've checked myself, and while I can't control the actions of those around me, the only thing I can control is making sure that I do I am doing everything possible to ensure my success. If you can make that statement, truthfully, then you can look at the roles that others are playing and their effects on your success. I know that I couldn't make that claim, so I needed to step my game up before I could look at others. Like anything else in life, the success of our resolutions are closely matched with the support systems in your life. While our own determination is implicit in achieving the success of following through we are only as strong as the other components in our lives. If there is a good support system of people and things in your life it clearly eases the pressures associated with achieving any goals. In contrast, if we allow for impediments, such as drama, in our lives we will always have an uphill battle in achieving any type of long term success and fulfillment that our resolutions and hope seek.COMING 2009

............GREATNESS ISN'T WHAT YOU ACCOMPLISH IN LIFE ITS THE THINGS THAT YOU OVER COME.

ABOUT ME

IN LIFE THERE ARE NO WINNERS & NO LOSERS ONLY SURVIVORS-

ONE THING I REALIZED IN CLIMBING THE LADDER OF SUCCESS PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS GONNA TALK ABOUT YOU...SO I DECIDED TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT
ITS FUNNY HOW PEOPLE WILL JUDGE PEOPLE IN THE MYSPACE WORLD REMEMBER MYSPACE DOESN'T DEFINE WHO YOU ARE REMEMBER ITS MYSPACE NOT YOURSPACE SO KEEP THE NEGATIVE ENERGY TO YOURSELF
If I ever see you in person and you have left some bs on my page or talked trash about me or any one of the people on my friends list or staff members in my company trust me I will have no problem telling u my opinions to your face.
..
DO I LOOK FAMILIAR.. ARE YOU WONDERING WHERE YOU MAY HAVE SEEN MY FACE B4
You may have seen me over the years either in various Hollywood Films or TV talk shows or on Entertainment Tonight or Star TV on the redcarpet protecting some of Hollywood's Biggest Stars or in the earlier years of my career in the entertainment scene running nightclubs in USA & Canada alongside my partner Chris Stewart aka Canada..s Official Celebrity Club DJ Kid who has opened for Artist from Busta Rhymes,Foxy Brown Funkmaster Flex,Kid Capri and has been one of the premiere DJ..s for the Private N.B.A parties.
We came together in 1995 after I was being screwed over by my past shady buisness partner which was a blessing for me to meet my best friend and together we started up which first started out as a nightclub promotions company bringing you the hottest nightclub events in Toronto & USA for the past 16yrs.

BET'S BIG TIGGER & DTEFLON ON TOUR FOR SPRING BLING BET TOUR IN DAYTONA BEACH
We have now branched and expanded our company into all areas of the entertainment industry and established one of the most successful entertainment celebrity protection companies in the nightclub film and fitness industry in Canada and U.S.A
YOUR NOT CONSIDERED A TOUGH GUY UNTIL YOU'VE BEEN IN 500 FIGHTS-VIN DIESEL KNOCKAROUND GUYS..
You maybe from time to time may have witnessed me bouncing some dudes head off the pavement..and to anyone..s boyfriend who I may have done it to sorry..lol
To those who have stopped by to check out the page & to my fans & the people who know me personally know that I am the most humble, loving, down to earth real person u will ever meet in your life..I have loyalty to those who have stood by my side and supported me at my best and at my worst..
I'm a straight up Gangsta if I need to be if you cross me... Ain't no pretty boy Don't let the suit fool u but Im as down to earth and as real as they come. I dont care about the glitz and glamor.
Im a self made man just thankful to have been given the oppurtunity to be surrounded by some good people who have helped me in achieving my goals.. For the past 15yrs that I have been in this industry I strive myself on being hardworking ambitious and driven.
Those people are very hard to find and when u do find those people keep them close to you..My father once told me in life somtimes 2 friends is too many and 1 friend is too much but stay true to the one thing that can never be taken from you and thats heart..
I don't like handouts and have no patience for people who sit around waiting for one..To those that hate there is no difference between u and me..Everything in my life I have is because I wasnt afraid of failure "I understand that if I had taken or would take a more conventional path that things would be easier and more stable, but what fun would that be.
So am I a workaholic? I would say no, even if every time someone calls and asks what I am doing I answer working..I maintain a balance and just usually speak with them when I am in the midst of that balancing act. D-Teflon"
"YOU CAN EITHER LIVE FOR SOMETHING OR DIE FOR NOTHING"
"In showbiz and the hollywood lifestyle its easy to get caught up in the craziness and superficiality of it all.
You have to be incredibly focused determined and make ever second count and never take anything for granted and just continue to follow your heart and dont ever listen to the words I cant and never let anyone tell u that living a dream is impossible..
The only thing that can stop you from reaching your dreams is you!"
I have been thru it all and seen it all DTeflon was given to me by one of the few people who has been thru it all and I man who I will always consider a brother to me and that is to the world u know him as Ja Rule
To me he is Jeffrey Atkins considering that all the battles I have been thru its the Teflon blood that runs thru my veins keeps me safe and protected to get thru anything..
I went thru so much B.S in my life from being homeless living on the street I've been broke..came back from getting stabbed nearly to death in 1995 in a streetfight on the job to losing my home to a fire in 2004.
I have had to deal with in my pursuit to the top numerous health issues over my life to losing friends in front of me to murder and to suicide but all of this struggle brought me to appreciate the good things when u get them..but not to get caught up in the materialistic things of the world.
THE ONLY THING STANDING IN BETWEEN OF YOU REACHING YOUR DREAMS IS YOU PEOPLE JUST FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND BE YOURSELF..PEOPLE DON'T LIKE YOU F.....KEM
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANKS TO THOSE WHO HAVE BELIEVED IN ME AND HELPING MAKE MY DREAMS CONTINUE TO COME TRUE OVER THE YEARS
First and foremost I want to thank my father cause with out him I wouldn't be doing any of this I don't care about the fame I dont care about the money...
I work to make my million for him and to take care of those in my life who I love who have stayed true to me,

GREATNESS ISN'T WHAT YOU ACCOMPLISH IN LIFE ITS THE THINGS THAT YOU OVER COME.
After my house burnt down to the ground in 2004 I learned so much that the material things that we think make us who we are and define us is in the bling of a nice car or house but all that shit doesn't define who you are staying true to who you are and appreciating life when you have nothing thats what defines you..I never had book smarts like others in order to pursue higher goals and to be honest to me as important as an eductation is after highschool I saw so many people who had degrees still in no better sitaution then the ones that didn't so I learned the surival of the buisness world thru my time living on the street when I was younger and I never once asked for a handout I financed my entire buisness and career on my own.
I could live in a box as long as I know the people I care about were taken care of...2nd to my best friend and someone who has been my rock since me and my ex broke up Aylen Alvarez,The most loyal beautiful person inside and out in my life Truly greatful for you everyday The day we met I never knew that true friendship could exist like that...you are the AA-Teflon.
A bond we share that will never break I KNOW THAT within my heart we will be in each others lives forever.
MY MENTORS & BIGGEST INSPIRATIONS IN MY LIFE AND THOSE WHO ENSPIRED ME
Film Producer Randall Emmett, & Actors Anna Faris who to me despite the roles she takes as people may percept her as a dumb blonde Anna Faris is by far the most and underated actor in the biz she truly to me should have won an oscar for bein so damn funny She is the sweetest and nicest girl in hollywood and I know when Im having a down day I would find myself watching one of her films other then May..LOL one of my other mentors who truly is one of the funniest men alive the legendary Morgan Freeman,The true first Tough guy of tv the man who inspired me to get into acting David Shark Fralick, other mentions are Torrie Wilson,Trish Stratus Ja Rule,LL Cool J These people are all biggest influences in my professional life and personal life who combine humour hardwork and dedication all into one.
OFF DA RECORD THOUGHTS OF DTEFLON
Hey all as Im on the road travelling here been thinking alot lately as I approach the 19yr Anniversary since I started my company Alliance Entertainment from the Ground up to see it grow into what it has and all that I went thru to get here
I wonder how I made it thru and wonder what my purpose on this earth is on how I made it thru all the b.s and my friends who have passed away in jail or whever they are what made me get so lucky what is that thing iinside me that i have to get thru that they didnt whether it be from me being stabbed nearly to death in a fight on the job to almost losing my eye in another incident protecting a client thru the last year going thru major health problems from working my ass off for 254 days straight with no break to a messy breakup 5yrs ago my house burnt down to the ground in 2004 I learned so much that the material things that we think make us who we are and define us is in the bling of a nice car or house but all that shit doesn't define who you are staying true to who you are and appreciating life when you have nothing thats what defines you..
I never had book smarts like others in order to pursue higher goals and to be honest to me as important as an eductation is after highschool I saw so many people who had degrees still in no better sitaution then the ones that didn't so I learned the surival of the buisness world thru my time living on the street when I was younger and I never once asked for a handout I financed my entire buisness and career on my own.
NEVER GIVE UP DTEFLON & BEN MACKENZIE
CHECK BEN OUT IN THE NEW TV SHOW SOUTHLAND PLAYING NOW
I have once again come to a point in my life that has me thinking again..so I will share whats on my mind off da record of course...and I will admit lately i been going thru a bit of a battle inside of me and the question that keeps coming up wherever I go is dont u think about setttling down again and to be honest I do admit going on this journey does get lonely and sometimes i even ask myself when i go out there put my ass on the line to protect stars and executives and after all the shit I have been thru physically and mentally it does take its toll where u want to just say F..K it and give it all up
The hardest thing in the world to do…is to never give up. Besides how grammatically incorrect the statement is, it is undeniably one of those truisms in life. . After one hell of 2 weeks working with no sleep it I am always thankful for having the oppurtunity to work with such great people..After once again reaching another high point I was brought down with some things that I wish to not discuss at this time..but just when it seems like things are starting to head in a postive for me with my accomplishments whether it be in relationships,friendships or loyalties of buisness associates I am once again led to a spiraling effect of other setbacks and frustrations.
Up to this point I will admit is has been hard to manage to avoid succumbing completely into despair by asking the defeatist rhetorical, “what else could go wrong.” However, sometimes limit of my patience has being tested. and then once again getting told more and more that I have alot more to offer and to achieve and after 20yrs of bs in the industry that I sometimes have to deal and with all the recent violence and senseless tragedies that happen that and after sometimes getting screwed by friends and biz and relationships I took time to take care f me being told buy numerous celebs that I have worked with and for that its truly my time to shine..
 DTEFLON & LL COOL J COPYRIGHT ALLIANCE ENT 2009 I recently just remember a conversation I had speaking with LL over lunch at a press confrence a while back a man who I got to learn a great deal about and though he may be Licking his Lips all over the world and driving the woman crazy and is blessed truly to have the talents that he has and some may look like he has the life one could dream of I found at that LL is a religious man who has his share bit of demons that he has had to overcome in his life to push him to the man that stands before the world today and earned a great deal more of respect from me this past weekend not just as an artist/actor but has served as one of my role models of deciples in life for overcoming adversity without a sense of anger or loss and he never gave up until he reached his goals.
Giving up is easy. I’m not referring to actually such extremes as checking out of society. I’m talking about coping with the rigueur of every day life and maintaining a positive outlook throughout. It’s much easier to give up on individuals if not whole genders altogether. It’s easy to abandon dreams or just regular choices when significant obstacles and impediments are in our way. Its easy to just say …. F*** it! Maintaining a genuine positive outlook is indeed difficult in the face of our daily struggles. I know that statement in itself sounds extremely pessimistic, but it’s actually filled with hope. The rhetoric LL and others who I shared conversations with throughout the Film Fest shared with me, had a positive effect in helping to re-shape my outlook on life. In the past I was often driven by my anger. I had always assumed that chip I had to show others what I could do was natural and just a part of my NYC upbringing. It probably was, and while it helped to motivate me to a certain degree of success, I began to realize that the negative energy I was carrying was doing more harm than good.
Life is indeed a helluva journey. A journey filled with ups and downs. We all understand that concept in theory, however when we are immersed in the “down” the theory serves as little consolation to the actual. Yet, no matter the circumstances, when it is most difficult is when it is most important to not give up. Not only in dealing with the situation in which you are negatively immersed, but to do so without losing perspective and hope.
THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRULY SHOWN THRE LOYALTY TO ME AND HAVE STAY TRUE ARE THE REASON FOR ME STILL HAVING ENOUGH LEFT IN ME NOT TO GIVE UP AND I LOVE YOU AND CHERISH YOU ALWAYS
I could live in a box as long as I know the people I care about were taken care of...2nd to my best friend and someone who has been my rock since me and my ex broke up Aylen Alvarez,The most loyal beautiful person inside and out in my life Truly greatful for you everyday The day we met I never knew that true friendship could exist like that...you are the AA-Teflon.
To my other Teflon partner in crime and that would be not only the most talented actress I know but a person who enspires me everyday to be better and thats the beautiful Adrianne Leon,
A bond we share that will never break I KNOW THAT within my heart we will be in each others lives forever.
"I am always amused by acquaintances who look at me as a workaholic. I work hard due to the fact after coming back from a near death situation where I was almost fatally stabbed & losing my home to a fire back in 2004,and plus it was easier to deal with a broken heart after my last relationship ended in order to keep my mind off the pain
I have learned life is about taking the hits but always to keep moving fwd no matter what I do not come from book smarts I come from streets smarts and that has taugh me alot of values which is the reason why I am always engaged in four projects if not four separate professions. and I am always eager to work with strong minded hard working people who make no excuses in going after what they want in life.
"I dont know if its just psychological, but I rarely feel overwhelmed by work. There are other things in my life that take that lead, but work isn..t one of them. Primarily because I enjoy nearly all of the things I do, and with some exceptions when I dont enjoy it, I no longer do it.D-TEFLON"
DONT MAKE EXCUSES ON WHY YOUR NOT WHERE YOU WANT TO BE GOD TEACHES US THE REASON WHY WE FALL DOWN IS TO TEACH OUR SELVES HOW TO GET BACK UP AGAIN
I just have the determination to follow confidently in the directions of my dreams and will stop at nothing from accomplishing my goals. I have gone thru some major struggles in my life but like I always say with out going thru struggle u will never have progress.
YOU CAN ATTACK ME YOU CAN JUDGE ME BUT YOU WILL NEVER BREAK ME!
I have no time for fake ass people and believe me I have deal with so many over the last few years been f..ked over by so many so call friends who only had agendas to get what they want from me and bounce.
DEDICATION TO THE TRUE FRIENDS WHO HAVE KEPT IT REAL AYLEN,ADRIANNE,SHARK,TORRIE NICK YOUR MY BEST FRIENDS IN THIS INDUSTRY AND I LOVE YOU ALL TO DEATH
I find myself to trust few but I am lucky to have a few good people in my life who do believe in me and if you have nothing better with ur time then come with the hatorade msgs or you are just wanting to be in my life for your own self personal gain and your not on the real..then MOFO STOP READING..AND GET THE F...K OFF MY PAGE.
I am a straight shooter and will come as real with it as they come.I enjoy being around people as long as they are real and not fake..I can pretty much get along with anyone so as long as u dont try to make it difficult then we shouldnt have a problem.
"I CONSIDER MOST OF MY CLIENTS LIKE FAMILY AND I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO KEEP THE CELEBS I PROTECT SAFE FROM DANGER AND IF I GO DOWN WELL AT LEAST I KNOW I WENT DOWN DOING MY JOB TO THE BEST OF MY ABLITY EVEN IF I LOSE MY LIFE" To the people who have stay true from the beginning you know who you are and for the new friends and fans I have met along the way I thank you for your continued support I love you all and without you none of this would be possible THINGS I PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH B4 I WALK AWAY FROM THE BIZ
.. I would love to one day work on screen with some of the people who I have looked up to
I have not yet worked with is some of my favourite actors and the man who I consider the greatest actor alive which is,Kiefer Sutherland and I promise Kiefer not to let you down as people in my newest film your gonna see as side of me that was enspired by Jack Bauer's Character will leave you I promise at the end of the film calling me Black Bauer..lol..
Kiefer Sutherland is an actor who I have followed since the beginning of his career back in the Lost boys day to having myself suffered the same fate at one point in my life Struggling with alcohol when I was younger Kiefer showed us all that no matter what if you make mistakes in life you can come back from them stronger so if Kiefer somehow reads this note please note that I owe alot of my strength to you you are one of my biggest influences and I can honestly say you are one of the reason's I still continue to live the dream in this biz called show biz and I hope one day to stand beside you or better yet just shake your hand and simply say thank you would to me be the biggest accomplishment I have ever made in my career..
To me he is the greatest actor yes to me yes pacino and denerio are legends but Kiefer Sutherland is the only one that truly to me deserves the nod to be called the best and he person I consider The Future of the movie biz is the Great Shia Labeouf this kid is so incredibly talented and quickly has become too me one of the very best in the biz and I hope that he stays on track because for male actors you are truly looking at the future of hollywood and last I would love to get the oppurtunity to work with Terry Crews Terry is truly one of the funniest men in the game today. to me one of the most underated actors along with Brian White A guy who has put the work in and im glad to see his time finally shining lets hope for great things for these incredible talents in the future
I would love to work again on set with Clive Owen this guy I tell u means biz on set he will bring out the best in you I have to admit working with him on the hire was almost as intimdiating working with Tom Cruise on Collateral despite what the media and the bullshit u hear about tom being crazy You wont find a down right more down to earth real son of a bitch in this biz and truly he is the king still of box office & everytime I watch Clive I have to say these are 2 of the most disciplined actors I have seen in sometime
I would love to work with either Eric Braeden aka Victor Newman or Christian Le Blanc from the my 2nd favourite show the Young & The Restless I think they are truly one of the 2 most underated actors in the biz today and I hope to see them both cross over more into movies
WILL I EVER GET INVOLVED WITH A WOMAN AGAIN...AGGHH
THE QUESTION SO MANY HAVE ASKED FOR THE PAST 5YRS SINCE MY SPLIT FROM SAM...
I just would love to find that someone to share all my joys pains and success with grow old together and have a couple of kids but if i get one out of these things I will be happy People ask all the time those who know I haven't sugar coated ever the meaning of the greatest woman I have ever had the privelage to know being Aylen Alvarez who is family to me simply put if i was to find a woman they would have to posess the qualities these people have and to be honest i probaly have a better chance of curing cancer but nonetheless i patiently wait not looking but if there is a woman out there just step up to the plate and u never know
God Bless You!..DTEFLON
Thats my word and its off da record.....

TIFF 09: A Focus on VIP SecurityAn inside look with celebrity bodyguard D-Teflon  The Toronto International Film Festival 2009 kicks off today, bringing throngs of celebrities, media, and fans into downtown Toronto for over a week of film debuts, galas, and afterhours events.
Many of the famous visitors will have discreet, often imposing figures following in their shadows: their bodyguards. D-Teflon, aka Derrick Ling, took a few minutes to speak to us at the Star at the Hyatt Hotel and offered some insight into celebrity security, in particular for major events. He is a celebrity bodyguard, who is also an actor, producer and talent agent. In nearly 20 years in the business, he has worked with Hollywood A-listers such as Morgan Freeman, Justin Timberlake, and many others and is in Toronto this Week working with stars such as Nicholas Cage,Randall Emmett & 50 Cent.
DTEFLON ON THE JOB WORKING WITH NICHOLAS CAGE FOR BAD LIEUTENANT PREMIERE SEPT 15 2009
Discretion is the touchstone of VIP security, not just for celebrities, but in all cases. As the VIP’s protector and constant companion, “you will hear and see a lot of things,” says D-Teflon. The guard-client relationship must be built on trust. “Being discreet is perhaps the most important skill,” for a professional bodyguard.Professionalism is another important aspect the job. That may mean taking control of a situation, says D-Teflon.
As a bodyguard you have to be able to draw lines and let the client know you “will not be a yes man”, he opined. It may mean making an executive decision to prevent a client from doing something that might harm himself, someone else, or his reputation, such as taking the keys away and driving them home if they’ve had too much to drink.
Major events, like those that surround the film festival, may require pre-planning and coordination. The VIP bodyguard may find that the best way to protect their client is to oversee venue security plans and communicate directly with the venue’s head of security. If the venue security is inadequate, or “if I feel there is a high level of risk,” says D-Teflon, bringing in additional trusted security team members may be an option.
Although many security companies offer personal protection services, D-Telfon believes that the personal, one-on-one security offered by a dedicated bodyguard offers better service for the client. He explains, “when a security company comes into the mix … most don’t do enough research to make sure the safety of the client is a top priority.” In contrast, a dedicated bodyguard who travels on the road with the client builds “a level of trust.”
That trust is built with a discreet professionalism.
“The first rule of keeping your client safe is keeping quiet,” says D-Teflon.
This rule protects them not only from physical harm, but damage to their reputation and image as well, and D-Teflon cites the case of Britney Spears’ bodyguard who sold his story about her battle with drugs to a tabloid. Whatever Spears’ difficulties in her career and personal life, they were amplified in a sensationalized news interview that further damaged her image and made it that much more difficult to recover from, and more difficult for celebrities now to trust hiring bodyguards, making it tougher on the personal protection business itself.
“Treat your job in this business as if you are in the CIA. You can never share any information with anyone. Never. Ever. Not for any amount of money,” insists D-Teflon.
To summarize his view on the bodyguard-client relationship, he continues, “overall, what is expected in this job is to do everything it takes to make the life of your client easier, more comfortable (and) safer.”
This year at TIFF, the spotlight will be on the celebrities. And with discreet, professional bodyguards watching their backs, that spotlight will be firmly focused on the attraction to the festival, and the city, that those celebrities bring.

OFF DA RECORD...
CELEBRITY BODYGUARD TO THE STARS MODEL & TALENT MANAGEMENT PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR ENTERTAINMENT PROMOTER CLUB MANAGER ACTOR I KEEP IT REAL EVERYDAY ...AND FOR THE PEOPLE
WHO CHOSE TO RUN THERE MOUTHS ABOUT PEOPLE WHO GO AFTER THERE DREAMS WELL TO ALL THEM HATERS THIS IS MY MSG TO YOU
 After 18yrs in this biz it still amazes me that people who cant worry about there own life feel they gotta run there mouth about people that they are jealous of and this myspace stuff even 4yrs after my assistant created this page for me to keep in touch with all of u the strories I hear from friends on all the drama this site causes..People like I say on my main page this is myspace not yourspace You dont like the blogs comments and my opionions in my off da record thoughts then dont add me friend request me and simply just stay the f..k of the person's page rather then come and talk hate and smack,Yes I have accomplished alot to many people and I am greatful everyday for the oppurtunities that I have been able to get in my life but it wasnt handed to me I WORKED EVERYDAY for it I do this shit to honour those who enspire me to be better,My father,My late uncle and my mentors and my best friends in the industry who u see on the right side of my page above the comments Personally I dont care about the status and I have never claimed to be a celeb even though I have worked my ass off to make it to hollywood status and have made my name in the industry among the A-List and even though I am very proud of accomplishing what I have done in going after my dreams and getting them I won't ever go to the I think I am better then anyone attitude as many people that I know that allow success to go to there head and when u put in the A-List category when people come up to me and say hey u remind me of P-Diddy.. I don't see the resemblence but like I said in previous off da record I can't knock the hustle of Diddy I am not a follower I am a trend setter and like to make my own legacy whether be in recently starting my own clothing line to managing talent to producing films I show my appreciation back to those who have laye down the ground work and who enspire me with there work ethic to be the best I try to apply the same towards whatever I do because guys like puff and some of my other mentors in the biz show all of us that nothing is possble with out passion for what you do and you must be discplined enuff to not let anyone tell u or listen to any negativity that you won't make it and it will never happen for you no matter how long it takes if you want your dreams to happen that soley relys on you and how far you are willing to go to make it happen without selling out as I have tried to do by keeping it real for the past 16yrs I have been in the entertainment biz CANT KNOCK THE HUSTLE BUT THE QUESTION THAT IS ASKED WHO IS A BIGGER HUSTLE DIDDY OR DTEFLON No one has ever accused me of being a 'Puffy' fan, but I must admit to developing a strong sense of respect for the perseverance and relentless hustle of Sean Combs. He is one of the greatest self-promoters that the world has ever seen. I don't mean in a qualifying sense as an entertainer, but across all genres and demographic boundaries. DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE THINK WE LOOK ALIKE WHAT DO YOU THINK People look at guys like him and kanye who go on youtube and speak freely about topics and things that to some may find obnoxious and stuck up and cocky but like kid rock says it aint bragging or being cocky if u can back it up and considering the album sales of a kanye west or the millions of people who by Sean John clothing all over the world that they must be doing something right and people talk smack because they didnt do it first or are quick to jump to hate because of there everyday self promotion in being proud of the things that they have accomplished ..The same people who talk that shit believe me have no problem riding the limo with u at the end of the day...You have to keep yourself distanced from those people and roll with the ones that will take the bus with u when the limo breaks down Now self-promotion is about hustle and vanity with an unhealthy dose of narcissism thrown in. While that recipe may net results in business pursuits, it will also undoubtedly cause dislike from others. Love them or hate them, you will have an opinion, and the ultimate goal for a self-promoter is to be known on a universal scale. Who's a better or bigger self-promoter than Puff. Paris Hilton is in the news constantly, but her hustle is juvenile compared to Diddy's. Jenny Lo's game is indeed strong, and she seems to have survived the inevitable hating that comes with the over exposure that the self-promotion brings, but as essentially a Puff pupil she has still yet to overtake her former mentor. Donald Trump is a formidable peer. He may have a greater net wealth than Puff, but he had a considerable head start. Born into a degree of privilege, Trump took a foundation established by his father to the highest level.
Having buildings with your name ensures a legacy for generations to come. Yet, Puff has managed to cultivate a brand and name recognition that seems capable of exceeding the normal expirations garnered from simply being a public figure. He is a Black man who has attained international fame and enormous wealth. He has formulated a lifestyle and achieved the ultimate feat of getting others to pay for its maintenance. MTV helps maintain his popularity and supplies acts for his Label. Clubs and promoters pay for him to appear, party and drink at their establishment and companies like Diet Pepsi pay him for the privilege of his endorsement. Why?… Cause he's Diddy. It's a skill and I always say that you can't knock the hustle. Who campaigned nearly as hard as the actual candidates during the 04 Elections? Who is on television more often than the President? With the way MTV repeats Making the Band, he seems everywhere. Children and grown men wear his name across their chests and asses and you realize that escape from his omnipresence is futile.Many of us have watched the progression, both natural and cultivated. We saw him loved by all to hated by most. The temporary humility that came with his gun case and J LO dumping was the opening the public needed to accept again. Puff ran a marathon for the kids and raised millions… love that guy. Puff made some wannabe rappers walk to get cheesecake in Brooklyn… what an arrogant ass but it made you watch the following week to see what he was gonna put some poor kid thru. You walk through Macy's and have to admit that the new Sean John line is nice and generally well made… Puff is doing his thing. No matter where you fall on that pendulum, you know who he is, have probably supported his line or label in some fashion and his name has been a topic of your conversation at least once in the past year.
The name and the brand are household.Where he takes it from here has yet to be determined. My guess is that some good and activism will continue to come from Puff, even if it is self-serving. Yet, who won't endure self-serving if others are being helped in the process. It's a lesson others could learn and benefit from but I can say if DTeflon and Diddy were to come together and work on a project it would be the greatest show on earth.. I just look at myself as a person who wants shit bad enough to work for it and I know that its not going to be handed to me on a silver platter..and I think thats why I have got the respect from my peers in the industry...And I always say u dont have to like me but u will respect me.. and If I am writing you this email to share my personal thoughts with you is because I respect you enough to be open and honest with u..and when I say I appreciate your support I mean and I hope for your continued support all the way till the end If you know me well enough u will know I am the one person people can count on to help them out with shit if they need help but I just feel people take for granted the real people who really go out of there way to take care of the ones that they care about the most...I am sure you have been in a relationship or friendship when you have felt not appreciated...but I just wanted to take this quick minute to let you know how much I appreciate your support and that I value our friendship and to all the myspace friends who I have been able to reply back to I thank you for your continued support and even though I may be sometimes busy and unable to get back to all of you on here I do read your msgs and comments and know that im thinking of u in return
Ego makes Soulja Boy a rap pariah
Ben Kaplan, National Post Published: Wednesday, April 01, 2008
Soulja Boy is a 17-year-old from Chicago who wears loud, oversized clothing and makes pop songs especially well-suited for college football games. He's done a massive business in ring tones, where his smash hit Crank That (Soulja Boy) sold 2.6 million copies in the U.S. alone. Last year, he was attending South Panola High School in Batesville, Miss. This year, he told reporters he was a better rapper than Jay-Z and was promptly dismissed by everyone from Snoop Dogg to 50 Cent and Now his infamous feud with ICE T
In the world of hip-hop, Soulja Boy has become a pariah.
'I don't think he could get shot for that, but that will definitely get you booed at a Roots show,' says rez, host of OTA Live on Toronto's FLOW 93.5.
'Soulja Boy fans are people who just want to dance -- people who will probably forget about him in a year.'
But he hasn't been forgotten yet. Last month outside a concert in Bloomington, Illinois, someone threw a rock threw Soulja Boy's tour bus and his front windshield was smashed. After he was taken into custody, the 12-year-old offender explained his motivation: 'I hate Soulja Boy.'
The pop world has always generated extreme reactions. Marilyn Monroe was hounded mercilessly and Jack Kerouac had trouble writing after On the Roadwas published, his house ransacked by fans. But today's Soulja Boy listeners are different because of the way they interact with the star.
'Audiences now feel a tremendous sense of privilege,' says Shirley Steinberg, a cultural studies professor at McGill University. According to Steinberg, YouTube, TMZ and Perez Hilton have created conditions where the public feels as if they own a piece of the star. Soulja Boy first published Crank That (Soulja Boy) on MySpace. He may now be finding that this informal instafame has its drawbacks.
'When someone like Soulja Boy puts himself out there, they jump in to their celebrity with wide-open arms,' says Steinberg. 'I think for a 12-year-old kid, the boundaries become very ill-formed.'
Indeed, boundaries seem to be shrinking between artists and fans. Everyone from Rosie O'Donnell to Axl Rose write regular blogs and Britney Spears has said she checks the paparazzi WireImage web site every day. But as the walls come down, stories like those of Emily Leatherman, recently arrested for suspicion of stalking John Cusack, and Margaret Mary Ray, who was picked up for doing the same thing to David Letterman and eventually took her own life, may become even more commonplace.
'I've been stabbed , I've been busted open, these things happen,' says Derrick 'D-Teflon' Ling C.E.O of Alliance Entertainment who will be starring in a new tv series that launches this fall on Star TV called Guarding the Stars OFF DA RECORD "I think that artist have sometimes away to start up controversory around them when they feel they cant back it up in record sales..I think many people got Ice T wrong as I dont think he was trying to start a war but sometimes these young cats need to be put in there place and realize give me respect to get respect people have compared my style and swagger and buisness style to Diddy and even though I DONT LIKE BEING COMPARED to anyone I do respect what diddy has done turning his empire in to what it is today so if anyone can put me in that category I give that respect but Soulja boy for him to come back and talk all that smack on the net just shows that he really does think his ass is superman but sometimes people just need to just recognized there are boundaries that you dont cross and all I can say is Ice T is the Orignal O.G NUFF SAID Visit http://www.channelcanada.com/Topic66.html
DTeflon a known Hollywood bodyguard originally from New York who grew up in Toronto whose worked with and protected everyone in the Biz from LL Cool J to Justin Timberlake 'Ling States.. Certain people, especially in hip-hop,not all but some artist who surround themselves around controversy with the things that they say can put themselves and even us who protect them at risk for no reason which is why I have filtered away from working mainly more with actors rather then artist due to the fact that an actor tends to want to stay out of the spotlight.'
