The life of the creative man is lead, directed and controlled by boredom. Unless a man has been taught what to do with success after getting it, the achievement of it must inevitably leave him a prey to boredom. The Jewelry Man.watching bored successful people do dumb sh*t at a moment's notice.

In "I ain't got nothing better to do but cook green eggs and ham on a hot sidewalk" news, the on again/off again homey DMX is thinking about legally changing his name to Dog.

Word? EbenGregory.it must be a slow news day huh man?

Yes.

Here's DMX to MTV on legally changing his name to Dog: I think I'm going to have to do that soon for spiritual reasons. It's just the whole Dark Man thing. Because if you look at it, from a spiritual point of view, the Bible teaches us that we can speak things into existence. ... And Dark Man, you know, it may not be the best name for me.

Hmm.interesting. And speaking of spirituality, tell us about your new single.

Here's DMX to MTV on his new single "Lord Give Me a Sign: It's produced by Scott Storch and addresses my quest to get closer to God. The Scott Scorch thing ... he charges $80,000 a beat, very expensive. We bought two [beats], and he gave me the beat [for 'Lord Give Me a Sign'] for free. So it was ironic that the potentially biggest song on the album would be given to us for free. We got the beat, and I heard the beat, and I was like, 'Lord, give me a sign!' The beat created the song, and I just ran from there, you know.

Okay.so The Jewelry Man assumes that you're still battling demons huh man?

Here's DMX to MTV on battling demons: I'm fighting a war within and I'm constantly calling on God for help. It's a war.it's always a war going on between good and bad, you know. I've said it on one of my songs: 'Deep inside I've got something that's working against everything I know is right ... Be careful of the ones that always want to get you high/ Because when the time comes, that one will let you die.

All righty then.everything makes sense now. You're off the Kryptonite. And speaking of being off.

Here's some medicated ice jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on DMX changing his name to DOG: Stupidity has a knack of getting its way.

And speaking of getting your way.try my way sometime: MySpace.com/ebengregory.
