There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. Besides, every disappointment screams for humor. The Jewelry Man.telling you that suspense is worse than disappointment.

In "Lord give me a sign" news, the I be on that Kryptonite homey DMX has canceled a week-long tour to entertain United States troops in Kuwait and Iraq.

Oh really EbenGregory.does this mean DMX is f*cking up?

Yes.

The Jewelry Man is informed that DMX was supposed to depart for the Persian Gulf on Aug. 22, but delayed his departure and then failed to appear on time for a flight to Kuwait. And now.the drama.

Here's John Hanson of the United Service Organizations (USO) to AllHipHop.com on how they feel about Dark Man X letting down the US troops: We are extremely disappointed that DMX decided not to complete the tour he asked us to arrange for him. When we announced this tour, troops were extremely excited about the possibility of seeing a performer they admired. We understand their disappointment.

Let the USO tell it, they worked hard to accommodate Dark Man X travel requests because of his popularity among the troops. And now.back to the tape.

Here's more John Hanson of the United Service Organizations (USO) to AllHipHop.com on how they feel about Dark Man X letting down the US troops: This tour was put together in just under two weeks, because we know how much service men and women appreciate his performances. Mr. Simmons let a lot of people down. We will continue to provide quality entertainment to the people who defend us daily around the world in some remote and often dangerous places. Fortunately, most performers honor their obligation to perform once they make the commitment.

Usually at this point in the story, The Jewelry Man offers his two cents and invites you to share in his magnificent pieces of jewelry.but nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.

The Jewelry Man. the comedian that's playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
