| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is. |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

 This is why I love me some Young, er, Hova, uh, Izzo Jay-Z. He's so damn sharp in whatever he does. First he dominated hip-hop. Then he stepped away from the mic and into the boardroom. But what's even more impressive is what he's been doing as a businessman. And his world domination continues.
Per Rush & Molloy's column in the New York Daily News: Place your bets on Jay-Z.
The record executive wants to build a casino in Las Vegas, business associates tell us.
It's a logical next step for the instinctual businessman, who journeyed from Brooklyn's Marcy Projects to founding Roc-a-Fella Records and Rocawear with partner Damon Dash.
After selling the label and stockpiling $300 million, Jay-Z, aka Sean Carter [sic], was named president of Def Jam records in 2004. Oh, and he's a co-owner of the New Jersey Nets basketball team and the 40/40 Club.
Jay-Z wants to morph that sports bar's low-key ambience - which he brought to Atlantic City last year - into a full-scale gambling Xanadu, reports one knowledgeable source.
"He's definitely planning on it," the source told our Chris Rovzar, adding that several meetings on the topic have taken place with investors who have worked with other gambling establishments.
"The 40/40 Club in Atlantic City has been doing great since it opened, and the one in New York is still booming," another source told us. "There's no reason not to expand."
No matter what, Jay-Z is going global with his 40/40 franchise, his spokesman confirmed.
"There is talk of a possible 40/40 Club casino," confirmed rep Ron Berkowitz. "There is definite expansion into the Far East, into Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo and South Korea. By 2008 they will all be built." When it's all said and done, no one will ever ask, "Jigga who?" again.

I've been quietly learning a lot from dudes like Jay, Kanye, Diddy and Damon Dash. Those dudes grind hard for their loot and that's to be admired. They are getting their due, so you can't hate on them. They are cashing in on what they know and observe.
Attn: All you dreamers out there. It's time to touch the sky!!
