SKEECHING and HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Okay, I apologize, its been a few days since I last posted, actually a couple weeks.

Just about two weeks ago my grandma passed away and as soon as I got back from the funeral, I had to have teeth pulled (yuck). Then had work done on my car and then found out my grandpa was put in care of Hospice. He passed away today. It may be the weirdest December of my life.

However, to cheer me up, my friends at Bonneville Cincinnati's WUBE sent me a video about "skeeching". I had no clue what it was, until I saw this video. So we are going to try it here real soon, just have to get JP Knight to say yes, hehehehe (evil grin)

BLACK FRIDAY

Thank goodness its over. Black Friday I mean. Did you happen to be driving around Lima and it take you 15 minutes to turn out of American Blvd? Seriously, its just another Friday! Well, I guess I cant complain, I bought myself a new outfit from Old Navy. And props to Tiffany our Sales Manager, Michelle from Sign Pro Imaging and of course JP Knight for making Star shine on Black Friday! Couldn't do it without my team.

Oh well, I thought this picture was hillarious! Looks like these ladies wanted guitar hero over anyone else!

IKEA ON MY MIND

So I had the opportunity to visit OHIO'S first Ikea in Cincinnati this weekend. I fell in love, I dont mean just randomly in love, I mean..IN LOVE with IKEA! I found a painting for $9.99 and a couch, yes a couch for only $229. Who could pass that up? Besides the fact that when I tried to check out one of the showrooms my friend knocked over a vase and it is no longer with us, the place was amazing.

Have you been to Ikea yet?

Nudge is here

Ah, thank goodness I can finally get out of the studio at 6:55 each night as I give the microphone over to Nudge.

He joins us from after 4 years in Atlanta Georgia. Sure, it will be a bit cooler than ATL, but after a few sweaters and turtle necks he should fit in pretty well.

Nudge has been on the radio in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Chattanooga and he is glad to finally move back to his home Buckeye State.

THIS IS THE REAL SUPER TUESDAY

That one back in February shouldnt count...or so thats what I say.

Its election day, and while I could care less who you vote for, do the only civic duty you are given and that is to VOTE!

We have the chance to make a decision in how our country is ran, our county is ran and even our cities. So go out and do your job, GO OUT AND VOTE!

*I have US Senator Sherrod Brown on my show this afternoon

Five Beauty Tips in a pinch - I just have to say Im glad to be a guy!

Check it out:


#1.) CONDITIONER. If you need something to help comb out the tangles, look in the kitchen. Combine an AVOCADO with a half-cup of MAYONNAISE or whole milk, and leave it in for fifteen minutes. It's better than anything you can buy at the drug store.

#2.) CONCEALER. The thick residue around the top of a FOUNDATION bottle is a great substitute when you're in a pinch. Pat it on and blend it carefully. Use your ring finger to avoid gobbing on too much.

#3.) HAIR SPRAY. If you're frizzed out and desperate, use a little bit of hair gel instead. Wet your hands then lightly coat them with gel. Flatten out problem areas and style your hair just like you would normally. Then let it air-dry to lock it in place.

#4.) SHAVING GEL. You can't go out without a smooth pair of legs, right? So, if you're out of shaving gel, try HAIR CONDITIONER. Most types contain silicone, which creates a smooth surface that will reduce nicks and cuts.

#5.) MASCARA. Use your fingertip and dab a small amount of Vaseline on your eyelashes. The petroleum will define them and make them glisten when they catch the light.

Frustration

Confliction, Misundersood, Frustration. All words that kind of tie together if you think about it.

After all my might, sometimes I just dont understand. I really try to be a compassionate person and it always is frustration in silence. But as the old saying goes, "The good ones finish last"

I just need to catch up on sleep and not worry myself sick sometimes. That may be part of it, haha. Someone told me I worry so much, im gonna give myself an ulcer. I guess its all part of who I am.

Hope you had a great weekend!

Kidd Kraddick goes to Washington

Okay, you may have heard of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, still one of my favorite movies of all time. We are sending Kidd Kraddick to Washington next week to try and get back some of your hard earned money.

We had to help bail out the stock market with 700 Billion of our own dollars. So Kidd is getting that money back and you have to listen next Thursday to find out how!

Have you ever wondered...

Just some interesting things I found on-line today, makes you wonder and say hmmmm....

Pumpernickel bread (aka black-rye bread) got its name from Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon, ashamed of his humble beginnings grew up on black-rye bread. It was, however; considered bread for peasants. Napoleon had a horse named, Nicole. So whenever he would ask for it, he would say it was for his horse.

Pan(bread) per(for) Nicole

Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical fish stores.

Women blink twice as many times as men do.

Kool-Aid was invented by an eleven year old boy in his mother's kitchen.

The more expensive the bottle of wine, the deeper its dimple on its bottom will tend to be.

The name Wendy was made up for the book Peter Pan. There was never a recorded Wendy before.

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is a pangram (a phrase that uses all the letters of the alphabet)

Walt Disney was afraid of mice

Mona Lisa has no eyebrows... it was Renaissance fashion to shave the brows.

Donald Rumsfeld was both the youngest and oldest defense secretary in history

A cat is the only animal that purrs and no one knows why or what it's for.

A ducks quack doesn't echo and nobody knows why

900 watts

I dont have a lot to blog about today, except my thought on 900 watts. For every 50 feet, you should equate 1 watt. Hmmmm

Cincinnati

So, first...I missed the whole Cincinnati on VH1 this last weekend. If anyone can find the link, could you send it to me? I want to watch the video. I had the chance to be a part of the show when it came to town, it was sooo much fun!

The war within

What does that mean? The war within...something that was thought of quite some time ago im sure.

My biggest battle is my goal to get on track. I want to lose 15 lbs., I want to stop drinking soda all together (but its so addicting), I want to be financially set (dont we all), I want to improve my ride..

I guess thats the "war within" right now. I just hope to get it fixed!

Valaeri Michelle

Many of you dont know what I have at my home...well, I have a cat named Valaeri Michelle (Pronounced Valarie) and she officially rules the house. I guess im blogging about her today because I realized how much she controls things.

I get home at night, and if its like most nights...I dont arrive until 11PM. I put the key in the door and all you hear is meeeeeooooowwww. I walk in the door, give her the scoop of food and again its meeeeeooooowwww.

I dont know why I think of it, and for some reason today of all days..but Val is the most unique cat ive ever had. I grew up, we had Pepsi, Scotti, Tiger, Providence, Missy, Mama Kat and Tigger. All of them great cats, but this is the first one that truly ruled the roost as they would say.

Dare I move anything in the apartment, she gets very testy. And the new thing is when I get upset with her, she likes to chew the cord to my TiVO.

If anyone else has a cat, let me know your story...leave a comment on my blog. What strange things does your cat do that make you miss them, annoyed with them, etc.

Home Sweet Home

You ever think of the day when you miss home? I happen to drive thru Cincinnati this weekend again and it made me miss it more than ever before. The skyscrapers, the brick sidewalks, the backed up traffic, the lights of the city beckon me everytime I head up I-75.

I remember going to see my Cincinnati Reds, Bengals and even Cats. Walking up Hill Street to the top of Mount Adams each day, discovering the abandoned subway that was never finished underneath the city streets, my first date at 4 years old with a girl at Findlay Market, A Graeters Ice Cream Cone, looking out my window at the most beautiful skyline in the entire world, The soap truck (which is what we nicknamed it) bareling down Celestial Ave., jammin to Power 107...and Q102, The smell of the river as the first of October hit, Friday night lights everywhere, The Mount Washington Parade, Watching my grandpa listen to the reds and watch them on TV at the same time and the first bite of a Skyline Chili Dog made fresh in Cincinnati by Cincinnatians.

Its those moments, those blips that you think about and what they mean to you. Its those memories you hold dear and knowing that life is so much more than what you ever expected at the age of 11.

Everyones hometown means something to them, something special, something near and dear to their heart mind and soul. Its that meaning of Cincinnati, the Emerald City, the Queen of the Midwest, The first city in America...that is my memory!

Flavor of the week

Time to get bloggin, or whatever its called. This is another edition of my world famous...blog!

So what is the flavor of the week? By watching television I would say it has something to do with an elephant and Saint Paul Minnesota, but thats just speculation. This is going to be the most historical election ever, and no matter which way you vote, the most important thing is you vote.

Off to Tennessee I go, well for the weekend. I am heading out on a vacation day to help someone move to Lima. While ill still be working, the good thing is I get to see my old stomping grounds of Cincinnati and Lexington.

Speaking of Cincinnati, I was there this last weekend visiting friends and swung by to see my aunt. It reminds me how much I miss home. I grew up on one of the most beautiful landscapes in the entire world (Mt. Adams). My family still lives on Prospect Hill. So many memories :)

As for this Thursday edition: I was inspired by a speach last night that boot goosebumps on me. Im not for or against either candidate, but its important that as a country, we unify and vote this November, whoever you may chose.

Family and Politics dont mix

As an American, we have liberties and rights. One of the biggest is the right to freedom and privacy...the other is the right to vote.

Im not going to pick political sides, its not my duty to do so during this election season. However I feel that I have to make one statement: We need to leave Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin's family alone.

Family and Politics should never mix. If its the candidate, than that is one thing...but leave the family out of the controversy. If anything, we as a country should be proud at the fact that her daughter is doing all the right things and going to get married to her boyfriend of 2 years.

My other thougts arent so dexter. Instead, I had a great weekend in Kentucky. Had to come back to work on Labor Day, but other than that, it was a lot of fun. University of Kentucky beat Louisville 27-2. Talk about a game!

As for this Tuesday edition: My thoughts and prayers go out to those effected by Hurricane Gustav. I wish you safety and all the best.

September...where art thou September

September, is it here yet or is it just the feeling of brisk mornings, college football, broken hearts and seeing a santa decoration at the Cable Road WalMart. Yep, its not here yet, but it sure feels it.

Speaking of September, there is a new hit called Cry For You that im really jammin to. Has a great beat to it, almost like Cascada.

Im really excited about this weekend. I get to kick things off with a concert in Detroit, and then following up is going to see my best friend Brian in my ole stomping grounds of Kentucky. Its the big game UK-Louisville, and I am in the mood for some Cardinal sandwiches. Then Sunday after the game and if time allows, I am off to my other ole home sweet home of Lafayette Indiana (Boiler Up). I havent seen my other best friend Cindy in forever. So im really looking forward to lots of catching up this weekend.

You dont realize how much your friends mean to you until you live three hours away from either one of them. Thats when everything you know feels so far away. So when you get to see them, you take advantage of it!

As for this Thursday edition: We all know that the big happening this week is going on in Denver. Im not going into my political feelings, but another major announcement will be made tomorrow too (McCain Running Mate). So if anything, im looking for a really busy news cycle over the weekend.

When I Grow Up

I wanna be famous, I wanna be a star, I wanna be on movies...

Okay, that was the tune just jammin in my headphones. Its not bad, but not the greatest by the dolls.

First: I solved the Wheat Thin issue today. I decided not to eat any at all. Talk about a compromise. Instead, I stared at my computer selecting the new songs we will be adding to the radio station. Adventerous, no...but still fun!

Second: Im psyched, my latest Netflix order came in and it includes Psych Season 2. I have to admit, I have a new favorite show. James Roday and Dule Hill are both tremendous actors.

Third: Tomorrow JP Knight goes back to college at ONU. Im excited for him to be entering the territory of education, knowledge and...well, its college, what else do they do there? He will still remain here at the station doing weekends and filling in for me when im on vacation, but he wont be working with Kidd Kraddick this school year. Im not sure if it was the stunts they made him do, or what?

As for this Wednesday edition: So I get to see Maroon Five, totally stoked to say the least. Going up Friday with Rob and his best friend Lisa. They will be performing with Counting Crows in Detroit. Its been a while since I saw Maroon Five, and better yet, its Rob's first concert.

Mini Blog

Im hungry, and all I can see is my box of Wheat Thins. Not really in the mood for Wheat Thins today, but maybe I should.

Oh well, just felt like blogging about this box of Wheat Thins, and I really cant think of why, haha

More blog-ta-blogaliciousness later this afternoon

As for this Tuesday edition: Im happy! Looking forward to good things. Its been a long time since ive been happy, so this is a great.
