June Update

Hey all, hope your Summer's going well, staying cool? Oh, Goddamn it, Summer hasn't even started yet. Granted, by the time I'm through with this post it will have, but still isn't that crazy that they don't call it Summer 'til now? It's sort of like how the Spring semester begins in January, when we haven't even been through the coldest month of the year yet.


(I've got some extra time on my hands, so I'll do this up right like a Wikipedia article)

Anyway, I am home, I am in Schenectady, I am working at the car wash half the week and going to SUNYA to finish up my Education minor the other half of the week... Raging has gone decently so far, I've slept on Pat's couch 3/4 of the Saturday nights I've been home so that's an indicator. I've been working on my car, I'll be ripping out the carpet soon and welding in new floor pans so I can have four people in my car without sweating. Been going on bike rides, and just overall hanging out and doing the Summer thing.

Gas is killin' me softly but apart from that I must say I feel great that that's really the only bad thing I'm fighting right now in life.

As far as WCDB is concerned, I'm up there every M/W/F afternoons when I'm through with class just tidying up and fixing stuff... I also took on that Friday afternoon slot 1-4p in which the Kitchen is temporarily chillin'... I'm also co-hosting a Saturday Night new rock show with my main man Phatrick so definitely check that out 6-10p as well. Look out for big things this Summer and beyond with WCDB, for real.

SOME POSITIVE THINGS I WANT YOU ALL TO THINK ABOUT:
- Genesee
- Snyder's Honey Mustard and Onion Pretzels
- All of the above

Here's my latest playlist from earlier today... Shout out to all the listeners that dig on my 80s. Negative shout out to whoever requested Ne-Yo at 2:00p.

Well.... Hey.... The time has come for the Spring semester to close. It's been really real, and if you go through the archives from the last few months you'll see it's been a trip of a trip.

Bad news:

- The 80s at 8 is not going down Friday nights now. If I happen to DJ an 80s party over the summer (Feel free to contact me on that too, I'll do it for beer), I'll post pictures and a playlist here, but expect this to be an ill-updated blog until late August.

Like, one of these nights:

- I'm insanely vexed about the finals situation, more than any other finals situation I've encountered during my six (SIX!!!??) semesters here at SUNYA.
- I have a five gallon point-of-use watercooler bottle next to my bed that I will not be able to consume before I leave Albany
- I couldn't go to the legendariest of WCDB legendariness events, Wing Thing (Ain't no thing though, I'll be on that 21 tip by the time it goes down again in the Fall)
- All my peoples are leaving mad days before me (sitting all alone with my books and my pen while you're out at 10, 10 PM) I'm stuck here 'til Thursday.


The good news!

- I'll be making mad bank this summer (School M/W/F, Workin' T/R) so I'll always be busy and I'll always be down for a Friday party
- The Kitchen will survive! Kind of, like, out of its element 'cause I miss starting the night off with 80s, but the Kitchen will be on WCDB from May - late August 2008 on
FRIDAYS, 1-4 PM EST.

There you can still get your fix while the sun's out.

- I got the duct tape stains off my white T-shirt!! Check it, here is how you do it: Spread peanut butter on the stains, let 'em sit for a day or two, then run it under hot water and rub the stained part of the shirt up against other parts of the shirt. What you're left with is a shirt that's mad peanut butter stained, so, you know, wash it afterward. All I had was chunky peanut butter so it kind of plugged up the drain but if you use creamy you should be golden colorado. YAHMEEN?

- My "USERDEL" command finally went through last night, shout out to Cate,

and MOST IMPORTANTLY......................

- The last five months have been the best, most redeeming semester of college yet. I want to let all my friends and listeners know that this truly means a lot to me and I love you all.

So, tune in weekly for that fix of a fix (Summer Playlists will not be archived on this blog but you can catch 'em at my WCDB DJ profile off to the right column). Keep listening and don't lose the beat!

Also, wish me luck on my finals! I'm scared.

Let me leave you with an image of the best meal I ate at Chartwells this semester: Porkchops, applesauce, baked potatoes, and two cups of Mr. Pibb. I swear to God, it tasted so good I took a picture of it.
