Hey Cutters...
If you’re in the area tomorrow I will be at the DRIFTWOOD premiere at Fangoria NYC Monster Mondays. FANGORIA’s next Monster Mondays screening will be on January 15, 2007 at Manhattan’s Two Boots Pioneer Theater at 155 East 3rd Street and Avenue A. DRIFTWOOD will screen at both 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM. Tim Sullivan and I will introduce the film and answer audience questions at each show...
On Friday I did a really cool interview with Dee Snider on Fangoria Sirius radio... You might recognize the name Dee Snider because Dee also is the lead singer of the band Twisted Sister... I always loved those guys... During the interview I was very happy to hear that Dee and his Co-host Debbie really were amazed by my performance in Driftwood... Amazed in a good way, that is... It was really a great interview and it will be posted up on my site in the next week or so if you want to hear it... I’ll keep posted...

The best part of the interview for me was when I was talking about the YRG workout. Dee and Debbie said they wanted to do it... I love the idea of Mr. Twisted Sister doing YRG... One of my promotional handouts for YRG is this very yogi looking girl with a turban on her head and a picture of me as Billy Ray Snapper from "Devils Rejects" with my foot up somewhere near my head while standing on one leg and under the picture in case you can't read it... it says "What's the antithesis of a yogi ... I know maybe a wrestler?" ...

Well that's what I think of when I think of Rob Zombie doing YRG and writing the forward to Yoga for Regular Guys. Now Dee Snider may be doing YRG. You've got to love that. Dee and I talked after the show and learned just like me Dee has embraced turning 50 and really understands it's only a number. Like me, he is constantly finding ways to hold back the hands of time... He also told me he has been looking for a new workout and after hearing me talk, he is jacked up to start the YRG workout when he gets back to NYC... I'll keep you posted.

I will also be staying in NYC promoting my new inspirational audio book Own Your Life on various radio shows and a few TV shows. On Wednesday, I will heading down to Atlanta to continue promoting OYL and will be doing a YRG on Friday morning be on Good Day Atlanta and at least one of the Gyms... When I have it nailed down I get back to you.

Monday the 22rd of January it looks like I will be heading up to Cookeville, Tenn. to speak at my good friend Dr. David Birman son’s school and then maybe take everyone through a YRG workout... The best thing about the grassroots promoting I am doing right now for YRG is we are really building a strong foundation of people who are buying the workout off the www.DiamondDallasPage.com site and the www.YRGworkout.com site ... It's a really good thing because I have found the a HUGE percentage of people who buy the workout actually do the workout on a consistent basis... So YRG is building this tremendous following and technically doesn’t even come out till this fall... It looks like that is when we will releasing the infomercial...

What else? Well, we had a great Christmas Eve with Kimberly and Aaron. We ... or should I say, they made an incredible turkey dinner with all the fixings. Aaron was even making this pumpkin soup which I thought I was going to hate but I absolutely love it... After Christmas Day, Ang and I headed up to Park City to have a White Christmas... Park City is so beautiful any time of year but I like it the best at Christmas... We stayed with my good friends JT and Diana Thompson... Of course, we had to hit the slopes ... And I mean hit the slopes...at least I did... I tried Snow boarding again for the 2rd and last time... Oh my God did I take some crazy falls ... The kind I wish I was filming so I could put them on YouTube because some of those falls you would have wondered how the hell a 6’4”240lb 50 yr old man got up from... One time I made the mistake that was actually starting to get pretty good so I picked up the pace... What an idiot I was... Anyway I came around this bend and there was this little tiny kid there... Now, I knew I could get around him but I was going to take the chance so I cut back and when I did all hell broke loose...

I immediately went face down... So to protect myself I put my arms over my head and grabbed my elbows and when I hit the hill was so steep I started to cart wheel down the hill ... I did a full three rotations before I landed once again flat on my face... As I pull my face out of the snow... My goggles and hat lost somewhere in between me I looked up and saw a woman with her son who saw the whole thing... She looked at me and said “Now I’m not an Olympic judge or anything but I’m going to give that fall 9’s across the board”... I can’t even begin to tell you how sore I was later the night... I felt like I had 3 matches with the 7’1’’500 lb Big Show... Anyway I won’t be doing that again... I love to watch those snow boarders and that’s where I’m going to stay watching those guys... Later that night it the hot tub, red wine and games on the pool table ... Where Di and I teamed up to kick Angella and JT’s butt... Pictures on the site...

This New Years Eve, Angella and I headed to Carmen Electra NYE bash... Which was on the Paramount lot and cold but fun just the same... Two days later Ang and were off to St. Louis for the Get Hooked on Health Expo... What a great turn out... I spoke on three different occasions and stuck around and signed autographs... Took pictures with the World Championship Title and sold “Own Your Life”and YRG DvDs... It was great seeing people moved to action... There are some great shots on the site of all the events we even went to Golds Gym to teach YRG a couple of times... It was a HUGE branding weekend for YRG...
