Ungrateful

This is a hard, personal post for me to write. Its however one of the most important ones too... You see, over the years as my career has taken me from town to town in search of bigger and better opportunities. Its what I was told that as a kid, everyone was expected to do to make this a great country and so on. I didn't, up until recent years, realize it would make me so many enemies. Here's the situation: friends of mine from my old school days are bitterly sending me angry "you forgot me me… Continue

Why must we fuss and fight?

Lately, with the economy taking a dive and things getting bleaker before they get better, I've been thinking its time for us all to collectively get something off our chests. Times are tough for everyone. Radio has gotten tight as well, perhaps even a little hyperactively, as more businesses are closing up and others are hitting brakes and skids on spending. That's, however, not really what this is about... Lately, I've been having the pleasure of running into all of the radio DJs currently on… Continue

Headphones

They are the most wonderful thing in the world. They block out all the noise and clutter around you. They comfort you in sad times, and are there in the greatest of parties helping make sure everybody stays on beat... They are headphones, and this is a love story... Growing up in the middle of nowhere is such a great thing. Nobody really cares that you are weird, they just know you as a neighbor. Also, music and equipment that has seen better days in the big city finds its way in various swap… Continue

"Uncle" Wayne's Gravy and other common sense lessons in life.

First off, the official listing I got in my email this morning: Wayne Fetherbay, 65, of Linville Street in Morganton, went home to be with his Heavenly Father on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009, at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem following an extended illness. He was born Jan. 28, 1944, in Burke County, and was a son of the late George Frank Fetherbay and Gladys Marie Smith Fetherbay. Wayne was the former owner and operator of the Auto Clinic. Following his retirement, h… Continue

Peeing in Public and Other Occupational Hazards

I used to think that getting crushed by thousands of pounds of steel would be one of the worst hazards of my working life, but of course that's before I learned the often funny side of being an entertainer. OK, you ever go to the bathroom and got nervous? Admit it, you have! Especially when you're in a crowded place, the feeling of being in the company of others while doing something you normally only do alone is a little uncomfortable. Now, ramp it up to the level of some nights guys like star… Continue

Insomnia has its benefits too

Its been more than a week since I've written anything longer than 140 characters, and I blame my insomnia. Since I was a kid really, my parents have always struggled getting me to stay asleep at night. At first, we thought it was just a phase, because even I wondered why I could suddenly stay up all night and not be sleepy anymore. A quick trip to the doctor, and we all had our answer: I was an insomniac. Medically, I am the equivalent of a 5 year old on pixie sticks. I can go hours without sl… Continue

The Jeep List

Now, I started something... Earlier today I thought it would be fun to pick on a few friends of mine who constantly pick on me for my views of being single. Why not, I thought, give these guys a reason I'm single? Like... say I'm in a monogamous relationship with my Jeep. Well, that went actually way overboard by the time I started it on the net side of things. YOU PEOPLE! So, here's a little compilation of ALL the reasons Jeeps are better than lovers (and credits for the people that wrote the… Continue

Oh really?

Here's a fun idea: Let's post up all the DJs twitter accounts in one place to prove a point. First off, the tweets and blurbs. These have not been edited in any way or changed from their original wording or text. I also, in order to at least preserve a little bit of dignity, won't be telling you who said what. Here we go, from just the last couple of DAYS: "Fricken stupid people can't handle their damn alcohol!!!!! Thanks assholes!!!" "Thank u all who came out to Fiesta Fridays @ Fernandos a… Continue

The inherit evils of Follow Friday

If you're net savvy, or just a regular geek like me, than you know all about the follow Friday trend that comes... you guessed it ... EVERY Friday on twitter and Facebook. When I first got on to Twitter, I loved sending out the popular #followfriday or #FF (which REALLY stands for Friend Feed, NOT Follow Friday) hashtags out to people that added me or folks I followed and liked. Then, there was AlohaArleen... You see, if you know anything about the net shenanigans of Arleen Anderson and how ba… Continue

Why I unfollowed you

Everyone knows that in the last few years, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, whose in promotions has turned to the web for what they see as cheap advertisement and direct marketing. I'm of course referring to Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter. The trifecta of social media. Thing is though, these groups are called "social networks" for a reason! They were designed as a way of letting old friend reconnect all the while being in a small enough structure for ads to be placed EVERYWHERE. You are inundate… Continue

How the "industry" changed me

This Friday, I have a speaking engagement at Akaku's Media Salon. For those that know what it is, I hope to see you there! For those others, who don't, here's a brief explanation. I've been invited, along with Chivo Ching-Johnson, to speak this Friday about RADIO. Ok, Media in general, but our area of expertise is RADIO. Obviously, since its me...this will NOT be the same old thing you are used to seeing. That's not what this is about though. As I was driving home from my first meeting tonight… Continue

How "online" are you?

Another day, another download... Is this your life? Lately we at Q103 have been trying to pay as much attention to you as humanly possible! This means of course, I get to sit in front of the computer surfing Facebook and Twitter whenever I could be off doing the boring and mundane tasks of running a radio station... yet somehow, I digress. Here's a neat little something that will once again prove to people, "if its on Facebook, it's OFFICIAL". How many people follow our fanpage? According to… Continue

Going "Official" on a website near you soon

I think its safe to say by now people who follow my tweets or posts to Facebook know that I am pretty much the "everyman" for Q103. I do a little of everything during the course of a normal day of work, someimes working on music management or sampling songs sent into us for airplay. Sometimes, doing web work. Is it frustrating at times? HELL YEAH! That's always been one of the most charming things about my job though... getting that daily glitch here or loose screw there to keep you on your toes… Continue

Ch-Ch-Changes.....

So, if you are a regular follower of all the weirdness that is my net show, you know that earlier today I made a shocking web only announcement... My show is changing times....again. This time though, its not a big change. Thursday, my show begins one hour earlier at 2pm. Not a big change, and some people will actually like me being back closer to a mid day kind of show. We also covered that I have pulled the "shoutouts" segment of the show. Its not been something easy to keep on the air, an… Continue

How to keep your mouth shut and to be happy about it

I know the title is a little LOL material ... and trust me, I wanted people to laugh at it when they see it... but there's a good reason I say it like that! In the modern age of everyone trying to get their 15 minutes of fame online, and with especially DJs getting on social media networks trying to promote themselves, its very easy to get too comfortable with your words! I try to keep my various odd moods, bad hair days, and just all around icky days from bothering me online. Its just somethi… Continue
