Funny thing

When I was in grade 2, we wrote in these journals and over a course of days I wrote (from what I could remember) the movie The Karate Kid Part II out in long hand.

Daniel-san, with his face sympathy and never-changing voice and Mr. Miyagi with his one word proclamations of wisdom always bailing him out whenever he gets in a jam.  (And say what you want, but the man kicks some serious ass!)

I also had an Olivia d'Abo reference come out today from this movie.

It's like my brain said, "I wanna take a little vacation.  I know!  How's about 1986."

Always On Ground

Every time that I cross the threshold of my place of employment, a switch goes on in my head and I'm altered until I walk out again at the end.


This is not a universal circumstance for everyone...it's more about working in an environment where tension is not only present, but helpful to your performance.  But the catch is that you have to project an image of altogether cool and control to everyone around you, otherwise the urgency that you are harnessing turns into panic.


Without getting too specific, I move things from one place to another all in the service of high end customers.  I keep them moving high up in the air at high speeds and keep them from breaking down.  In this service, there are an awful lot of requests that follow from multiple sources, and things go political at the drop of a hat.

My New Radio Show

We had our last Siamese Libertines show tonight on CJLO.  Lots of fun, nostalgia, hilarity, sugar, caffeine and sugar abounded.  It was the end of an era lasting 7 years and about 3 years for yours truly.

I now assume the time slot of 8pm to 10pm EST on Thursday nights going forward.  I have chosen the name of the show and I'm starting next week.

The show is called "Dirty Work" and it'll be full of musical goodness and all sorts of tomfoolery.

Radio Cures All

In about a week or so I'm starting my own radio show.  I'm trying to come up with a good name for the show, so here I will brainstorm some names:

Ludvig Von Awesome's Soundwave Trap
The Ghost of Indie's Past
The Pretentious Douchebag Top 10
