Hey Friends.. Wow! What a difference a day makes.... Yesterday I was down & miserable & depressed and today I am just filled with love, energy, a positive outlook & joy. I want to thank all of you for your love & support & prayers & good thoughts. So weird, nothing has really changed in my life, still a huge financial struggle, still trying hard to find the money to finish the CD, still working hard to lose weight & get healthy, but it just feels like everything is gonna be alright.
Sometimes you just have to trust in your higher power & allow grace to work...
So remember, I am here for anyone who is hurting, in pain, going thru some dark & miserable times. If you need a friend, a shoulder or someone to talk to, just reach out... Sending my love to everyone... Don't let this old life get you down people!

First Blog From Las Vegas Baby!!
It seems I have a stalker... Sad thing it is my sister in Chicago who hangs on my every tweet, every blog post & sneaks in & watches my webcasts. Please ignore this woman, she is a mean nasty , vindictive person who is sick in the head. Margo & I let it go years ago, and she can't seem to do the same. If she attempts to harass any of you on twitter or by email. Please let me know so I can take legal action.
Also, guys I am serious. I have refunded as many $9.95 for the CD as I have had requests. Please, Please Please, if you think I am trying to scam or con you out of $12.95 I will refund your $$$ and STILL send you a full CD. I can't say it enough how very sorry I am this CD is not out. I have invested & borrowed $40,000 and gave 4 years of my life to this project, so no one is more upset and frustrated than I am. All I am trying to do is keep my music alive. I believe in it, and I am so grateful for your support and Love. Some days it is the only thing that keeps me going.
Oh I did get one nasty blog message from you know who in Chicago or Crazy Lady Death Wish
It was nasty & negative & I didn't even bother reading it. Anonymous of course. They don't have the balls to confront me.
I will say this again, because of all of your love & support , I will never give up
and never surrender. You are my friends, my family, and my fans & I love you more than you will ever know...
Oh & in other news I am losing more weight.. New Pics Soon...
Hopefully the next blog will be a little more positive...
Thanks Everyone,
Love , Jay

Where the F*** is the Death and Taxes CD
I want to set straight all the rumors, innuendo,and cheap shots a few "old friends" are taking on twitter. Let's see...so far There is no CD,No Band,I am a con artist,a crook,and a scammer and I am stealing peoples $9.95 on twitter.
WOW! First of all,I apologize about the long delays,and I am doing the best I can,but it all comes down to money. Since I am having all kinds of costly production problems and mixes and mastering on the older songs are costing more $$$ than I have available,that is the main hold up. I am also not going to put out an inferior CD just to hurry it along after a $50,000 investment & five years of my life.
As I have posted on twitter quite often,I thank every one for your patience,but if you for one second believe I am trying to scam you out of $10 bucks,I will cheerfully refund your money and send you a free CD when I have it in my hands. No one is more frustrated than I have been,and all I can do is apologize and hope everyone understands how important this CD is to me. I will certainly admit I jumped the gun with pre sales,and for that I apologize,but I am not going to apologize to people who flat out lie about me and know nothing about the difficulties involved in putting out a high quality CD.
I just want to say what most of you already know. For those of you who believe in me and my music & have given me your love and support and encouragement,I thank you so very much. You all mean the world to me.
For those of you who will never believe in me or particularly care about my music... Nothing will ever change how you feel, so I won't ever try.
The CD will be finished when it is finished. If you hear any other silly and ignorant rumors,come to me and I will always tell you the "real" truth.

Tuesday is a good Day to Live
Happy Tuesday everyone! Well made it through 3 days of my fast/cleanse/detox. Was pretty easy.I have to tell you guys the new low carb formula from Simplifast tastes so much better, almost like fruit punch! Loves it! I dropped about 9 pounds in 3 days now eating only fresh fruit & veggies for 2 days then back on to healthy eating!
I Promise to post some pics very soon! I feel pretty good today, starting to exercise every day again, at least 45 minutes somehow!
please check out www.simplifast.com I Spoke with Dianna CEO of Simplifast & she is going to donate $5 per case to help with out CD's marketing & promotion expenses, so when you order a couple cases of Simplifast, you are also helping my band's CD project stay alive!
I will check in tomorrow and talk more about the "Flesh Prison" I created for myself & what hell and torment I went through.
Remember, each and every day is a gift, Stay Healthy, Stay Happy & Stay ALIVE!
Love you guys!

Day 1 of my Fast Detox Cleanse Program
Flesh Prison continued......
I want to thank so many of you from Face Book , Twitter, Myspace, all over the net & in real life for the outpouring of love and support as I attack my obesity and fight to a healthier new me.
Part of the reason I am opening up about my struggle is I know there are thousands and thousands of people who are overweight and unhappy with how they feel and look. Some people maybe just need to lose 10-20 pounds Many others 50, 100 or more pounds.
I just want to say that no matter what your struggles and demons are with food, you can overcome them. Support from family and friends is so important, and please don't ever beat your self up for cheating or overeating, it is going to happen. Move forward, and just focus and work harder the next day.
I was fortunate to find Simplifast, a great tasting, healthy Fast/Cleanse/Detox beverage ( www.simplifast.com) that works for me.Fasting is not for everyone, and always see your doctor if you want to try this type of plan.
I have seen results and success by losing 80 pounds with this product... but... and we all know about the BIG BUTT.. hehe. You MUST commit to a healthy lifestyle. exercise, eliminating fast and junk and processed food.
Otherwise , as sure as that wasn't Paris Hilton's real purse, the weight will creep back on you. It is a constant battle,but it is a battle we all can win.
So today I start a 3 day fast/cleanse/detox might try to go for 5 days, but I do what I know my body can handle.
Thanks you again, for the amazing love and support my dear friends. You all mean the world to me. Knowing you are here for me is a vital part of my weight loss plan.
I will check in tomorrow and let you know how things are progressing.
Have a beautiful day and a wonderful weekend!

October 1st, 2010 RE-START
Well, tomorrow is the day I recommit my self to my quest for becoming someone with a normal body weight. Like Lindsay Lohan with cocaine, I fell off the diet and exercise wagon. The damage was not too severe I did regain 9 pounds in the last few months.
SO now I weight in at 309 pounds,still want to weight 200 pounds or less. I will not give myself a time frame ,because that can only lead to failure and frustration.
I am Jay Link, I am a foodaholic. I eat for pleasure, I eat for pain,I eat when I am Happy,Sad,Anxious,Depressed...You see a pattern here??? I just Eat!
thanks to my dear friend and weight loss mentor Dianna who is the CEO of Simplifast,I was able to shed 80 pounds and keep most of it off for about a year now.
If you are not aware of my story of how I became Super Morbidly Obese, I will encapsulate it once again, for new friends and fans.
I was a very skinny kid, I don't really know what happened, but when I was about 16 food become an emotional crutch for me,so I have struggled with being overweight for about 40 years.
As an adult I was alway weighing in between 220 and 275 pounds depending on what diet I was on. in late 1999 my beloved Father Julius was hit by a car while he was walking in Bullhead City Arizona ,where we lived at the time. I was an overnight DJ for Classic Rock Station Lucky 108 FM. My father was a wonderful man,fun loving,independent,and loved to go out and have some drinks with his friends.
While walking home on the night of September 3rd 1998, He somehow slipped and fell into the street and was hit by a car, and was dragged over 500 feet to his death.
The pain loss and devastation from his untimely death almost killed me. I was inconsolable,and it seems I turned to food as comfort,to fill up the void when he left me. My father was my best friend, my biggest fan and supporter,and I loved him with all my heart.
IN a few years time,I had eaten myself to over 560 pounds..having gaining over 300 pounds in a few years was very dangerous. I was not even aware of how much I was eating and how much I weighed. Food was my drug of choice,and since I didn't smoke,drink or do drugs,I became obsessed with food.
Imagine being so overweight you can't walk up a flight of stairs, or you break chairs and beds from the crushing weight of your body.Not to mention being an entertainer. I was like a freak,and going out in public was so painful and embarrassing.
I knew I had to do something or would soon be dead at 47 years of age.
In what should have been the prime of my life,I had created of my own doing,and was trapped in a Flesh Prison.
To Be continued......
**Update: Starting tomorrow I will post body shots of how I look right now,and I promise to update this blog every few days. Please comment and send any weight loss and exercise tips that work for you.Love you guys thank you for all the love and support.

It's August, Do you know where your Fat Cells are?
Well,wow 6 months without a blog post...went by in the blink of an eye!
Not much has changed,I should have lost 90 pounds by now,I didn't... I actually gained 8 pounds in the last 6 months, so for a morbidly Obese Food-aholic,I will not beat myself up, only go forward from today,and figure out what I did wrong.. are you with me so far? SO Now at 306 pounds this morning,my CD still not ready for release,and some big events coming us fast.. can you say,Major Stress Bucket..I can... Still,no excuses.. If I want to be on that stage with a full band on October 8th, I need to get with my weight loss, exercise,and healthy eating program. I've got 8 weeks to lose 40 Pounds.Can I do it... Sure I can,I will still be too heavy to perform like I can at 175 pounds, but I am heading back toward that goal. I am going back to Simplifast Cleanse/Detox/Fast because it worked for me. I also want to do PX90 and Kirstie Alley's Organic Liaison ASAP.. I will not try to lose too much and set myself up for failure. So if you are with me,for this last 100 pounds weight loss,I will be forever grateful! Nobody likes a Fat Rock Singer, especially me,so bear with me,and I will not disappoint you or myself.. All I can say is I am human,and I love food. Damn you to hell food..I'm still gonna win this war!
