Don't Shoot, I'm Just The Messenger

I am certainly no stranger to making ridiculous statements. It's what I do. Sarcastic at times, I'll give you that. This episode certainly falls into the category of "provocative". Will it be? We're about to find out.

Consider it an experiment in the rules of provocation. That is because I say some rather unpopular things here. Feel free to join the discussion.

Zen, Broadcasting and The Internet

Everyday, moment to moment we are swamped with news from the internet. Some of it is good and most of it is bad. Plus, there is a bunch of it that is just bullshit taken to an extreme.

We all put up with it the best we can. But, there is a time when we all have had enough. We tire of this crap and when we do, we go from being slightly annoyed to being outright put out over this stuff. What do you do when this happens?

Just breathe. That's all you can do.

Other People's Friends

As you may know, I have a funny thing about dealing with people at times. One of the newer things we are seeing in the world is the direct impact of social media on our real world experiences.

Ever finally meet a facebook friend in public AFTER you friended them on the web? It's kind of an odd experience. You kind of have formed an interesting opinion of these people before you actually meet them.

It happens to me every once in a while. A lot of it answering questions about my work in show business. Radio, TV, etc... It comes with the job. But, some of the questions people will ask (in public) are interesting. Especially since I tend to post all my work related stuff to my facebook page anyway. It is fascinating to me how my facebook friends don't even read what I post.

It makes for an interesting face to face meeting.

Let's Get Suggestive, Shall We?

Isn't it funny how all the commercials we endure in radio and television and on the web are trying to tell you how you should live your life? Have you noticed how, in order to sell more of their product, they are telling you are doing it all wrong?

I am fascinated by this.

It all started when toothpaste ads showed you how much toothpaste you should be using. There was also a series of commercials that tried (and failed) to teach you how to wipe your ass.

Guess what?

You are doing it all wrong.
