    I just got invited to attend a volunteer introduction meeting at the biggest community radio station here in SLC after submitting an application that listed my prior experience in radio.

    Looking forward to getting involved and working on some seniority around those parts.

    Is a return to radio in my future? Hard to tell, but I may have found an open door. :)

    This is wonderful news!!! Keep us updated! :D

    This is a nice way to end the week, nice thread Joe.


    Thanks!

    I am not always a happy-go-lucky fella, but after reading all of the kvetching here this week (and I understand that people get upset about merch), I wanted to try and take the vibe in a happier direction!

    A friend of mine at work used to complain if the fancy shoes she ordered online didn't fit. I reminded her that millions of kids around the world would be happy to use the cardboard from the shoe box as "shoes" to protect them from the stones on their drought-stricken land.

    Perspective :)

    I am currently planning my own ghost tour of Chicago for tomorrow night since all the tours they have are like $60...Quija board? Check. Black ops outfits? Check. Ghostbuster sign for our car? Check.

    Yep I am the world's largest dork but I haven't been this excited about anything since PJ20! :lol:

    I live LITERALLY right next to Bachelor's Grove. That place is weak!!! I've been there a million times and never seen a thing. Just be careful cuz cops are all over that place, especially in October with Halloween coming up. Your best bet is to park in the neighborhood that is east of it, walk down the turnpike and go into the forest preserve. Do this before it gets dark so you can't get in trouble...then try and stick around in there past dark.
    Makes much more sense...

    I love happy news. :D Such a nice break from all the negativity on AMT.

    Every day, I am happy that I can walk again, even though I still have much difficulty with the pain and stiffness in both legs.

    The college I work at is very much a suitcase college. All the students go home on the weekend, most of them need to work, so it's really hard to get them involved in anything on campus. I'm doing a violence prevention workshop next Friday night and we had so many students sign up that we had to start a waiting list. We did one last semester and apparently it was well received. I'm baffled but thrilled.

    A wonderful jammer just hooked me up with a long sought after Holiday Single...2001's "Last Soldier"!

    Now I only need one more to complete my collection...1997's "I'm only Happy when I'm crying"

    Ironic, I wanna cry I'm so happy! :D
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
