RADIO BLUES

I really do hate music radio anymore. I have for a long time but it's only getting worse. I'm driving in my car and if I have to spend any amount of time driving I know I'm in for a lot of disappointment unless I bring some tapes. I just cleaned out my car and have not replenished it with a supply of tapes so as I was driving around I was stuck with listening to local radio. First I turn it to the major college radio station in my area. It's their singer/songwriter folk show and they are playing some of the most godawful hippie drivel I've ever had the misfortune to hear. It kind of makes me consider that possibly dropping some bombs on the crowds at Woodstock may not have been such a bad idea.
Next It's over to the "classic rock" station. I hear a set of Yes, Queen, and Bruce Springsteen(?). The DJ warns me that John Mellencamp is coming up next so I figure it's time to git. I turn it to the other college radio station and have my ears assaulted with some mallternative crap and then the lame ass DJ's come on to bore me to death.
Allow me to paraphrase:
"I got some information on Jordan last night."
"Yeah"
" I heard he was wearing a hat."
" Yeah, it was one of those stocking hats with the bill on it in the front."
" I wish I could have been there. Jordan, If your listening, you can't pull that off."
Laughter ensues as they then put on Pink Floyd's "comfortably Numb" A completely predictable selection. After that it's a good reggea tune and then more alternative garbage mixed with rap.
stupid, lame ass DJ's can possibly be forgiven, but only if the music that they are playing is really good. Not the case.
RAGNOROCK APPROACHETH !!

HEY! MY BLOGS INQUISITIVE!

I was reading the comment left at my last posting and it seemed to me that I've read that before. And in fact I have. I had another comment left before where somebody said that they found my blog inquisitive. Is there a form comment for spammers out there, or is my blog really inquisitive? I tried to go to the blog of the latest person leaving me a comment but the links don't work, so I guess there is the slight chance that they are not a spammer trying to sell me on some great investment or something, but I sorta doubt it. The last comment saying my blog is inquisitive was a spammer. I think so anyway.
The thing of it is, I don't know that inquisitive is an adjective I would use to describe my blog. I don't know. I think that you can find my blog a lot of things; such as boring, witty, insightful, profound, offensive, crappy, mindless, thought provoking, deep, extremely tantalizing, pointless, a pile of shit, void of worthwhile content, but inquisitive?
If you cats out there who think my blog is inquisitive are reading this let me know why you think so, otherwise I'm just gonna assume that there is some kind of form response that you can leave to get people to check out the spam stuff.

ONLY THE SECOND POST OF THE NEW YEAR!

After promising myself that I was gonna write more on this blog I've gone and virtually ignored the blamed thing for longer than usual. At first it was just cause I thought I didn't have anything to say, but actually I have a lot I could say but very little time in which to say it.
I started hard and heavy again on the job hunt and I hope to find myself in something new very soon. The NFL season is still going well for me as well as things are just starting to look good all around. I'm feeling pretty optimistic these days, but I won't let it ruin my usual cynical outlook on life.
There's actually a lot going on and a lot of stuff is going to be happening so my blog should be full of stuff in the oncoming weeks and months.
I've also picked up a lot of crap that I'll be tellin' you about soon, so as you can fill your life with all of that cultural flotsam and jetsam that you need so bad you can taste it. I'll be back in a day or two to tell ya about some books, music, and movies that you probably can't live without. At least not if you want to be a piller of society such as myself. Get ready folks.

ANOTHER NEW YEAR !

Well now that the holidays are over I hope that everyone had a good time. I did, but I have to say that I'm glad all of the hustle and bustle is over. Although things weren't as hectic and crazy as they usually seem to get around this time of year, so I don't really have a lot to complain about.
It's a brand new year and I feel really invigorated about the whole thing. I don't have any real particular reasons, but I just feel good about things. Now if my life goes according to norm, then my happy feelings will last about another hour and that's that, but what the hell. Enjoy it while you can I guess.

A lot of weird stuff has happened to me in the last month. My boss took a month off and the board of directors made me the interim director for one month. I was happy to receive the lame duck position, but I would have to say that I would probably not want the job were it to be a permanent gig. I'm having enough trouble handling the stress I've already got. But it was one more experience to be had and believe it or not I did learn a thing or two from the deal. (Not all of it positive either). I really have been feeling that I need to get into another line of work and this past month has really solidified that fact in my mind. But now the question is, what am I gonna do? Where are all the jobs that pay $50,000 a year for a ten hour work week? That's the goal I'm shooting for, so if anybodies got any Leeds be sure to let me know.

I've also recently gotten myself a cell phone. I am now starting to assimilate myself more and more into the modern world. I put having a cell phone off for as long as I could, but I finally caved in. I really thought that I would hate having a cell phone, but I have to admit that it hasn't been as bad as I figured it would be. But even as I trudge may way into the modern era I still consider myself a Neanderthal, behind the times, goofball (many people will back that up), and really, I like it that way. So for as much as I may start to be technologically swankified, I'm still sticking to the past as far as all of the gulcher business is concerned. My pop culture tastes still lay in the prehistoric days of the 50's, 60's, and 70's, and anything I'm into that is post 1980 is most likely going to be a throwback to those great golden ages. Just so's nobody thinks I'm totally turning over a new leaf when they start seeing pictures on my blogs.
