Ode to Billy Joe

[raybear]

Some call him Dean, some call him djblax. Yesterday, the universe called him Birthday Boy. Unfortunately I didn't pick up the phone when the universe called.

Dean is many things: a professionally trained clown, a talented DJ with an ear for great songs and an eye for great crowds, a published author, a livejournal sociologist, and the world's first supermodel.

Most people don't know but he's the person who coined the term "The Bronx". I learned this when I watched the recent documentary on New York City, entitled "New York", a recommendation to me from him.

He's also the person who first clowned while wearing a round red nose. He promptly removed in once the trend caught on.

I've heard rumours that he's recorded under the names Juice Newton, Terence Trent d'Arby, and Junior Vasquez. The only one I could confirm was Victoria Williams.

For his birthday, Dean couldn't choose between a carrot cake or a pumpkin cheesecake so he had death by chocolate. Actually, that's what I did on his behalf.

But most importantly, Dean is "still fly". More so now than a year ago.

Happy Birthday djblax!!
