From 1987 until 1992 I wrote a column in Monitor Magazine called "Pump Up D'Angelo". It started out as a gossip column and morphed into ... into ... I'm not quite sure. It lurched between satire, opinion, rant, and subversive fiction. These days you'd call it a Blog, so here I am back again. I'll publish new thoughts, old memories, and (when I find them) old columns from last century.... ~ Nick D'Angelo

Don't mess with Dei Hamo!
I've long been a fan of Sonny Sagala, now performing under the name "Dei Hamo'. Like me he's been around NZ Hip Hop since the 80s, so it was only natural we would become Facebook friends a year or two back. Over that time with both cracked a few jokes on eachothers posts, but today I went too far. Result? He deleted me!
To be honest, I was little stunned by his (IMO) over-reaction; but at the same time more than a little in awe that he could be so resolute. He said on Facebook that if anyone said a bad thing about David Tua he'd delte them, so naturally I fell for it, took the bait, and he... deleted me. Dei Hamo is a man of his word!
Don't mess with Dei Hamo! Or do so at your peril:
"Dei Hamo (on Facebook)
To whom it may concern: If your on my Friends List and you have something negative to say about "DAVID TUA".... PLEASE let me know so I can DELETE you"
"Nick D'Angelo (commenting on DH's status)
Next time you see your mate David Tua tell him I think he's a big pussy. And if he's got a problem with that you can also give him my address and tell him to come over and we'll sort it out. With our fists (not by breakdancing)."
Two of DH's friends didn't get the joke, and said so. DH responded with:
"Dei Hamo
Not my mate!. Just DELETED him... No time for sarcasim or jokes on THIS Post."
And so he did! Wow!
