TV Tidbits

tidbit...funny word. almost sounds dirty.

So South Park is currently at one of its high points. And guess what?! You can now watch every episode ever online for free...legally. Including last week's funny, scary, and very true Britney Spears episode. It's an instant classic. Click here to see it. 

One more TV thought: this is the last week of having no filler tv to watch. Why? Well because baseball is back next week. The best thing about baseball is that when nothing else is on, baseball is on. You gotta love it. 

"Hey Y'all, Last Call!"

So I'm going a little B-52s crazy today, but this music kicks butt. If they don't put a smile on your face, then you're just a certified douche. The following song is about a little street corner in Athens, GA. The song is entitled "Hot Corner." good stuff.

Other Thoughts: Nice, warm weather puts me in a much better mood. I'm more motivated to do things and such. That's why I may move to San Diego or somewhere around there one day.

Do you notice that the people who are closed-minded when it comes to music are the same people who are open-minded when it comes to life and moral issues...more times than not...at least in my experiences. The same folks who refuse to listen to country music or the Jonas Brothers or Miley Cyrus or The B-52s or whatever else are the same people who get abortions, get drunk, do drugs, and have tattoos all over their bodies. 

I'm a person with very eclectic music tastes. So I find it strange when people just refuse to listen to a certain type of music...other than gangsta rap. I refuse to listen to that stuff, and no it's not because most of the rappers are black. That type of so-called music just sucks. For instance though, some people, especially folks who were born and raised in the south, refuse to listen to country music. What kind of sense does that make? I think country music is the closest thing we currently have to traditional rock and roll. It's good music....well other than the queer rascal flatts, who haven't put out a decent song in about two to three years now. 

So anyways, open up to other types of music and close up to queers and tattoos. 

Ultraviolet

One of my favorite songs off of the new B-52s album. It is classic B-52s. It's just too good not to share with the world. Check out the video below.

Lines of Note:  "Hey there's a rest stop, let's hit the g-spot." "Keep doing what you're doing cause you're doing it right. Keep doing what you're doing cause it's what I like!"

Pepperoni

so it's warm outside today in atlanta...about time. 

I bought the new B-52s album yesterday. It's their first album since 1992 or so. I only bought it b/c I remember as a little kid that my favorite song was "Love Shack." In my opinion, the CD rocks. I think they fit in very nicely with the pop music of today that leans toward the dance music genre. You have to love Fred Schnieder's spoken word singing throughout the songs. It adds a nice comedic element to the songs without being too cheese-ball. 

Must Watch TV This Week: The Tonight Show on Thursday night. The guests? Conan O'brien AND Anderson Cooper. You simply cannot beat that lineup. 

Douchebags of the Week: Chelsea Clinton for not answering a legit question. Grow up. When asked about the whole Monica Lewinsky thing and how it affected her mom, Chelsea answered with a "I don't think it's any of your business." How convenient. She's just like her fence-riding non-committal  mother. A chip off the ol' c#nt. if you ask me. 

#2: Keith Olbermann, formerly of SportsCenter and currently host of the commie-liberal program known as Countdown with Keith Olbermann. I do think he's a funny man, but he is such a douchebag as well. He makes a lot of false statements about the Bush administration daily, but he made one last night that was flat out wrong and ridiculous. He said that the troop surge failed and ripped the Bush admin. for even doing the surge. He's just an anti-american clinton-loving socialist. Hey Keith, stick to sports and lay off of Bill O'reilly or Bill-O as you call him....bill-o beats the heck out of you EVERY single night in the ratings, so until you beat him, you have no room to talk. While I agree that Bill-O is also a douchebag like yourself, more people like him as evidenced by his ratings....so shut-up keith olbermann. 

American Idol Results tonight...My Prediction: Chikezie, aka the black guy, will be kicked off tonight. After re-evaluating the talent, one of these folks will be your next American Idol: Brooke White, Carly Smithson, David Cook. Guaranteed. 

seacrest, out.

Return from Hiatus

Hiatus...what an interesting word. I always like it when people use that word. It is often used to describe when a TV show is not shooting and taking a break, but instead of saying that they're just on a "break," they will say that the show is currently on hiatus. 

Anyways, what a great night for television last night. First off, we had Britney Spears on How I Met Your Mother. Let me say this...HIMYM is a terrific television show. I can only think of two comedies that are currently on the air that I like a tad better, The Office and 30 Rock. I'm also a Scrubs fan, but I think that HIMYM is currently better than Scrubs. What Friday Night Lights is to television drama, HIMYM is to television comedy. Just give it a chance, you shall enjoy. 

Anyhoo, Mizz Spears did a great job last night on the show. I can only hope now that she will  produce another song as solid as "Hit Me Baby One More Time." Let's be honest. That song was the shiz.

Back to last night's TV, Greek returned last night! Who would have ever thought that a show on ABC Family would become appointment television? Not me, that's for sure. 

Then at 10, The Hills returned as well. So fake, yet so good. Honestly, a lot of last night's plot seemed totally staged. I mean seriously...a curling iron burning Lauren's dress for the big ball with only an hour until she has to be at the ball. OMG!!! What will she ever do? Definitely riveting television.

I have eaten half a pack of Life Savers while typing this.

How To Make Life Easier Tip #1: Hang out with like-minded people. When I do such, everything just happens much easier. The drama factor goes way down too when this occurs.

What a crock it is that Major League Baseball began this year in Japan. Japan, are you frickin kidding me? Baseball is AMERICA's pastime. I don't care how much those Japs like it, we liked it first and we like it better. Bud Selig is a douche for allowing this to happen. Baseball has sold its soul in hopes of what? To spread the love of baseball around the globe? FALSE. More like...to make a few extra bucks. Screw you Bud Selig. 

And the Life Savers are gone...

Rain Rain, Go AWAY!

Rain is miserable. Drought is good for the soul. I have become pro-drought. Rain just makes life more complicated. Wasn't it so nice this past year when there was sun and no rain every day? I didn't realize how much I liked it until we started to have all this rain lately. The drought has not affected me at all. I still take showers, flush the toilet, use the outside hose, and wash my car. You can't stop me. I like water and I'm going to use it. I just wish it would stop hindering my life by falling out of the sky. 

thoughts from chattanooga

So I'm in Chattanooga right now.  Just relaxing and escaping from Atlanta for a few days. It is spring break after all. Florida or California would be nice right now, but Chattanooga is fine for now. 

Maybe rockin' isn't the right move at this point and time. 

Speaking of chattanooga, I found out today that one of my favorite radio stations from any place, 96.5 The Mountain, switched formats this week. They used to be a AAA station, or rock-ish type of music. Now they play top 40 music. Sure, their ratings will be better b/c they have no competition in the chatt. market with this format, but many listeners, including myself will be very disappointed. 

I'll be honest right now...I'm thinking of maybe returning to school up here at Southern next year. We shall see...

see ya.

what do you want to do with that?

I get this question multiple times a week. I guess it comes with being a twenty-year old college student. It starts off with somebody asking what I am studying in school. I tell them "journalism." Then they ask the question that is in the title of this blog..."what do you want to do with that?" I then proceed to give them a half-effort answer. I say something like "well I like the radio field and wouldn't mind doing something in the radio industry, but I just don't know 

right now."

The truth? I think I do know what I want to do. However, I am sometimes intimidated by what others will think about my career aspirations. Why do I think like that? Well because I don't want to just be a doctor or a lawyer or a whatever. I want to pursue a dream that few do and that few succeed at. I want to work in the radio industry.

I want to not just be some dude who helps out with promotions every once in awhile. I want to one day have an on-air position at some radio station. I want to start in overnights, then move to evenings, and then one day host a morning show. Somehow, I would also love to be able to spend some years calling baseball games on the radio. I would love to develop my own show and eventually offer it for syndication on small market radio stations around the country. I also would not mind being a promotions director as well while hosting a show. I want to wake up at 3AM to get ready to go do a 6AM-10AM radio show every morning. I know I can do this. I definitely have it in me. That would be my ideal job situation one day. Now do I think that all of this can happen? Yes. Will all these dreams come true? Probably not all of them, but I would like to think that some of them will. 

So if you or anyone else ever asks me what I want to do when it comes to a career, I probably will not give you the long answer I just typed out. More than likely, I will answer with a "I'm not totally sure yet." But that's because I just don't want you to think in your head "oh that young man is dreaming too big and complicated." I don't want to cause you stress or create any drama about it. 

that's all.

learning to fly

well the sabbath has come and gone. for me, it's always a welcomed day of rest. the guy who preached today was a nice change of pace. very good sermon that ended right at noon. gotta love it!

I am currently on the pursuit to find as many local food establishments as I can in my area. I am sick of wasting my money on the same crappy food from big corporate chains. I would much rather spend my money at locally owned and operated restaurants. So far, I've found quite a few pretty good places. 

If you're just surfing around on the internet and want to listen to some good music, check out THIS SITE. 

The clock is ticking faster and faster, and I must soon make a decision about what I want to do this next school year. I do know one thing for sure...I do not want to attend GA State any longer. What are my options? Well I'm glad you asked...

Return to Chattanooga? Transfer to UGA? Do the year-long missionary thing? Move out west for the heck of it? Something else? 

I just do not know right now. 

NEW SNL tonight...ellen page from Juno is hosting...should be a good show. rumor is that hillary clinton will make a cameo tonight...we shall see.

period.
