To Much TV

One day left of math. These next few months will definitely be the toughest so far.

More reality TV to watch though..I have cut back on some shows but still love to watch stuff like the Amazing Race, Survivor and of course the favorite once again is Bret Michaels and Rock of Love.

Now anyone who knows anything knows that this show is all for pure entertainment. This time around its ALL strippers and 80's rock chicks. And god bless them all they want to do is get naked and drink. Where do they find these bitches?

Outside of reality TV I watch Nip Tuck as you should know and this show is just plain amazing. Nothing like a funeral scene for one of Christians Ex's and they talk about how great she was at sex. There are some creative writers on this show.

Ok enough TV time to go and study for my last math test. Then it's off to Geometry.

Random Sh*t

I have been sick the last few days and whatever the hell I got knocked me on my ass since last Wednesday. Today is the best I have felt in a week. Trying to finish up my art project while sick just plain sucked ass. Needless to say I am pretty stoked now that my art project is done. So I got an extra day off this week. Hell Yeah!

I also want to extend my congrats to good friend Bob the Blade and his new gig at 96Rock in Raleigh. I'm a little jealous since he is doing an afternoon show again, but this time as a team. Something that I know both of us wanted to do but there were certain people in the CC helm that didn't think two guys talking on the radio was really what people wanted to hear. The listeners would rather hear the same 50 songs over and over and over...Yea great idea fellas...We see where that got ya.. Cock a fu*kin doodle do! Good luck Blade!

I will also say that everyone should be on the lookout for a LOUD rock band called SPLEEN. They are something else for sure.

I'm jumping all over the place here but today I got out of class early and I started watching shit on youtube and found more funny stuff, but one commercial I did stumble on did make me laugh my ass off. I think we all can relate to this one... lets watch:


I actually had to watch that a couple times. Funny stuff.

Oh yea the next blog I have to talk about some reality TV. It has just been to long. I maybe in school but there is a DVR and always time for reality TV.

Top 5 Hair Bands, Man Hugs

Not sure how I did on the Math test.. I think I did pretty good but you just never know. That's what sucks about math it's either right or wrong.. there is no gray area..and if you miss a - sign or some shit it's just wrong. I hate it. It drives me to drink. Now we have moved into negative exponents and shit and I'm hating life. I ask again in what job do you need to know this? Nothing that I will ever do that is for damn sure.

As promised my top 5 Hair Bands:

5. Skid Row - Sebastian Bach incredible voice, great tunes
4. Great White - Just had some killer CD's "Hooked" being one of the best
3. Motley Crue - In your face and was the epitome of the 80's
2. Cinderella - Always had some kick ass bluesy stuff
1. Whitesnake - Don't have to say more than "Slide it In" F*cking amazing CD

Now I shall wait to see what the thoughts are from everyone. Whitesnake by the way you must check out some of their older stuff...it's good stuff trust me.

In a topic completely out of the norm here for me to talk about, but it was brought to my attention today. Man hugs. What is the proper etiquette? I know it's cool to shake hands but not sure about hugs, but this video does: Let's watch:

How To Give A Great Man To Man Hug

So now we know. I can certainly rest easy.

College Math Blows

Man it has been a long time since the last post, but classes this time around have kept me way busy. Lets face it college math just plain blows! I hate it and I still have no idea who uses this shit in their real life.

Lately I have also had some real issues with my damn smoke detector. I swear I have had some weird shit happen with me and these devices for a long ass time. I thought I cleaned my stove good enough last time that when I went to use it tonight it would be fine. Nope. As soon as the door opened the smoke detector was beeping like a mofo. Man that is a horrible sound to hear. Not only because of the sound but because of the fear that just maybe your place is burning down. I guess I better clean the damn thing again.
Now over the weekend I painted for the first time since Art 1 in high school. I enjoyed it big time and below is a picture of the painting. It's on 16x18 canvas and I must say it looks pretty freakin' sweet.

This Design and Art Theory class has been pretty cool and really got me into drawing which I am really digging.

Also I found out from Blade that he thought my top 5 rock songs were "marginal". I think he is just plain nuts but I will leave that for another blog.. haha...He then told me to post my top 5 greatest hairbands... And I will post those next time which will probably be tomorrow after my damn math test.

May I Buy You Guys a Beer?

It was an interesting Friday. My friends and I decided to go and check out a friends band with some friends. Mike Dunn and the Kings of New England was the group. Influenced by Tom Petty for sure. They were really good and it was in a small bar in downtown Winter Park. There were a few people there from school including other teachers, students and also the President of the school was there as well.

So my friends and I were like we need to say hello to him we were just waiting for the right moment. Then there it was he walked by us and my buddy says "Hi we go to Full Sail." He replied with great to meet you and we had some small talk about the band and the bar. After this conversation he asked "Can I buy you guys a beer" to which we all looked at each other like a bunch of fools and then said "Yes sir".

How many people can say that they hung out in the same place as the president of their school let alone have them buy you a beer on top of it. It was pretty freakin' cool and he was a nice dude.

Saturday was much more uneventful just sat around after the gym and drew in my sketch book. Here is one drawing, but I will post more in the future.


Sunday was good, but sucked because the Colts lost to the Chargers. To be honest I don't really care who makes it to the bowl other than the Patriots. I hate those f**kers.

Pervert Down the Hall

Ok first things first...It's now the first of the year and all the Christmas cards have been sent out and the funny thing about this year was how many of my own friends do not even know their own street address. The best email asking me to send them the card again came from my friend Zakk Tyler...Here's his email:

Hey Bryan, this could be the funniest shit ever. They gave me the wrong unit number when I moved in. I'm at 6****... but I bet my neighbor in 6**** thinks a pervert just moved down the hall! I have to include this embarrassing screw up (plus promote your holiday with porn stars bit which I think is hilarious) at least on my blog... can you email me a jpeg of the your annual xxxmas card (since I'm afraid to ask my neighbor!)

I laughed my ass off on that email. Let me just say that not all cards have pornstars in them. The girl in the card might be my own personal porn star but that's a hole different story. Not only that but every card comes in an envelope otherwise no one would get them because the mail people would steal them all. So here's a pic of this year's Christmas card.

So it's been a few days but I had to get settled with the new classes this month. My straight "A" record might be done this month with College Mathematics. I suck at math. Even though while sitting in class it started coming back, I still can't do fractions or percentages.

Design and Art Theory though is kick ass. I'm digging that class.

Other than that it's just business as usual. It did suck on the first day back to class going in a little hungover as me and a buddy made a stop at the Ale House and managed to tie one on. The night was also hilarious to see some whacked out chick start talking to us even with her saggy tits down to her waist. I'm pretty sure she had no bra on. Shut the place down and we watched her do about 90mph out of the parking lot. It was funny in that holy shit she is going to die kinda way. Hopefully she made it and so did everyone else.

Late Night TV

It's Friday and well I would like to say I'm ready for the weekend, but in reality it's been my weekend for the last two weeks. Watched some David Letterman last night and with or without writers he is hilarious. He should lose the beard though. Then I tried to hit the sack but nope didn't happen so I ended up seeing some of the most god awful TV yet.

Carson Daly...Really? They gave this guy a TV show and it's still on? He is the worst. He is dry and he shouldn't be back without writers because he is even worse. I would imagine that if he had writers he can pull off a 34 year old dude trying to be funny. Some of us just don't need writers. We are just funny no matter what. Anyway holy crap just plain awful and the only way you could laugh at this guy is because you feel so bad for him. Seriously no one is watching at this time of the morning anyway. I guess he is there to put you to sleep since that is pretty much what he did for me.

Then there is this Chelsea Lately biatch..and she has a show because she is f*cking the head dude at the E! channel. She sucks more than Carson Daly. I guess that's why she got the show... haha.. get it?! If this is the only talent you can find to put on at 1:30 or 2 a.m. just go off the air. I would rather see nothing than waste the air time with these two idiots.

So yesterday after my posting about the Supersuckers, my buddy Todd sent me a link to this song...which I might add kicks ass. Enjoy.

Great lyrics... A big fat blonde. 30-40-30..Enjoy your weekend!

Pretty Fu*ked Up

Here it is the third of January and I have nothing to do but kill time until classes begin on Monday Jan. 7th.

So I am thinking about the conversation with Blade and what my top 5 rock songs would be. I think it would have to go something like this:

5. Freebird - Lynryd Skynyrd (Heard it 50 billion times but it's an anthem I prefer Tuesday's Gone)
4. Highway Star - Deep Purple (this album is amazing and I like it better than Smoke on the Water)
3. L.A. Woman - The Doors (Just a killer tune)
2. Paint it Black - Rolling Stones (One of the best Stones tunes and just a dark tune)
1. Kashmir - Led Zeppelin (Not my favorite tune by them but it has everything)

Now I am sure Blade will have an opinion on my 5 and I will be sure to take it into consideration when he emails me, but I don't think you can argue with these songs. Blade and I used to have such great conversations about Rock n Roll...it's hard to find people to talk about music with like you could with him.

Now one of my favorite bands of today and a band that will never be in the top 5 great rock songs is the Supersuckers. If anything they will be in the top 5 greatest rock bands no one has heard of. You should check them out. They have a little bit of everything, country, blues, rock and come great covers. I always put them on my CD when I burn a new one. After all like their website states they are the greatest rock n roll band since 1988. One tune that is simply awesome is "Pretty Fucked Up" here is a live version I found on youtube: Let's Watch



How can you not sing along to that. Kick ass! You can hear more at http://www.supersuckers.com

They are also incredible to see live. Just a fun rock show.

Happy Friggin New Year

Wow! It seems just like last year I was sitting in Raleigh after I got canned thinking about what the hell I was going to do next. Oh wait it was last year. How fast time flies.

First I'm going to recap my 2007 pretty quick. Started the year unemployed after classic rocker RDU went country. Moved to Phoenix in March to work at 93.3 KDKB and produced Alice Cooper's nightly radio show, Assistant Production Director, and pulled a third shift live show. That lasted for six months when I decided it was time to go back to school which lead me to Winter Park, FL, where I'm now going for my Bachelors Degree in Digital Arts and Design.

Now going into January 2008 as a straight "A" student for the first time in my life.

For my New Years I made the trip back to Raleigh, NC, and spent some time with my friends Sharen, Teke, and Blade. It has been fun to see everyone again.

So for New Years me and Sharen met up with Blade at Fox and the Hound and we sat around and laughed our asses off about radio, and just about the good times we had working at WRDU. It was quite amusing and Blade still gives me shit about picking "Fools" from Van Halen as their greatest song. Well I don't care it's f*cking awesome. Then of course we talked about our old intern Nick, and former PD's. Good times. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Probably since the last time we all got together.

Then it was time to just hang and wait for the clock to strike midnight. Sharen and I watched part of the Rolling Stones latest DVD and a Metallica DVD until about 11. Then we tried to find something to watch until midnight, but damn there was nothing. So we flipped back and forth from Dick Clark to Tila f'ing Tequila. Who decided that this chick needs to be on TV? She famous for being on myspace. Big deal. Is this what we have resorted to for entertainment...Myspace? I hope not, but we are getting to where TV and Music just blow. Wait music today does already blow.

Anyway that will be a post by itself. Enough of my rambling. I hope everyone enjoyed 2007 and is ready for a kick ass 2008! I know I sure am.
