...com'on ride the train, and ride it!

It's 2:18pm on Monday and I'm sitting here in the studio getting ready for the show.
Went to Baltimore this past weekend to see the Obama Express make its way to Washington D.C.
While waiting at the train station, you won't believe what happened!
I posted a news link from the UK media on my youtube.com page.

Infomercial vs. Romantic Comedy

I've come to the conclusion that the government should provide a "Weekend Bailout." Meaning, we should be given an extra day in the weekend. Think about it, you work 5 only to be given off 2. Wouldn't it make more sense to work 4 and have off 3? Granted, it gives raging alcoholics another day of remorse due to their idiocy from the following night, but what about the sober? Those that spend time catching up with family or old friends? Or the ones who finally catch their breath only to find themselves setting the alarm clock for Monday morning. The vicious cycle of time which waits for no one.

What if you could tivo your life? Imagine, going back to a previous hour and given the capability of either pausing certain moments or fast forwading to the end. We have the remote in hand because it gives us the control over what we want to watch and what we don't. For instance, your life starts off a romantic comedy complete with all the key elements. Your "show" couldn't have been written any better and its commercial free! So, if anything you hit the pause button a few times just to remember a few important "scenes". However, within your hour long programming, something turns your "show" into a late night infomercial...and not the good kind where George Foreman is trying to sell you a grill. We're talking the British guy that's hocking that One Touch Jar Opener!

You wanna go back to your romantic comedy right? You reach for your remote and hit fast forward but nothings happening. You get fustrated and start to hit your remote thinking maybe the batteries are low. You try again, but nothing. So now you have a choice...

Find new batteries to fast forward to the end of your romantic comedy

OR

Do you get up from the couch and turn off the TV

...what would you do?

its my first time..

well the first official week of 2009 is over...
how was it?
did you do anything different this week compared to last?
yeah me neither lol, HOWEVER I did start my New Year off with a karaoke duet involving Jill Bucco. Amazing what a few vodka tonics can get you to do.
Other than our incredible rendition of Journey's "Don't Stop Believeing", the first week of '09 was pretty mellow.
I've never understood the whole New Year's resolution theory. You make a promise to do "something" which 90% of us end up breaking anyway. As for the 10% that actually follow thru, well they've obviously got too much time on their hands and probably worship Suri Cruise sitting pretty in her "mother-ship" made by Tyco toy company. I mean really, WHO HAS TIME to actually follow thru?
Sure, we all have good intensions but in the end you take the good, you take the bad, you take them all, and there ya have...speaking of which whatever happened to Ms. Garrett? Sure, Jo and Tootie went on to have promising careers but you never hear anything about Blair or Natalie.
As we speak (or type) I'm sitting here in the FM100 studio talking to Jill Bucco (I like to consider myself a multi-tasker.) We were discussing our weekend plans. She's headed out of town to the beautiful state of Missouri. The beautiful rolling hills, the purple mountains magesty, that arch looking thing...such a great city. As for me, my weekend plans consist of good friends, a vodka tonic, and most likely will end up fetal position in one of our fine drinking establishments.
To conclude, I would like to remind you that we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life...and if the elevator tries to breakdown go crazy...GO CRAZY!

eNd Of ThE sHOw - g0TTa g0!
