My Spiritual Advisor

The boss is in Dallas today. Don't ask what he's doing there. Some defense contracting something or other. Try not to think about it, okay? This means I have some time to study and look into different grad schools. But first, of course, I consulted a psychic medium. It's an online program where you type in your question and it gives you some magic 8 ball answer. I trustingly type, "Should I go to grad school and what should I study?" "We can't all be everything", my medium replies. Whatever, I say. I resubmit my answer, knowing I won't stop until I get the one I want. "You're not all there in the spiritual sense of the word," it spits back. Okay, one more time. "You've been going through some bad times, yeah?" Ummm, hello, medium, this isn't about me and my "bad times". This is about my future. Get it right this time, gosh dang you. What kind of an online psychic medium are you anyway? Okay, "Should I go to grad school and what should I study?" Answer, "Good question, you're good, you're sharp, I'm going to have to watch you". Okay, somewhat relative, albeit unhelpful, though you do seem to recognize my genius. Close enough.

Funny thing how I came upon my spiritual advisor. It was to the side on a website about Nick Hornby, the guy that wrote the book that became the movie, "About a Boy".

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu...

Adventures in waiting around

I'm waiting for my next live hit (15 minutes from now). I've been training to go live on the air for the past three days. The first part right after you've got your interview is a bit nerve racking. You've got to put it into your comp, edit down the sound bytes, send your best bytes into the system we use (4 good ones), then write and voice a tease, then write a lead, and of course write your story, and have all the tech stuff (sound levels, etc) good to go before you get on the air. But after all that there's a little down time after the first hour (and so here I am). I'm currently parked out in front of the KSL studios in the truck with my equipment. I took some time a bit earlier to lay down for 5 minutes under a nearby tree on the edge of the parking lot. As I lay under that tree I contemplated just how many homeless people may have been in the exact spot I was actually laying in just then. Then a large man dressed in black (probably a waiter for som...

Hello Again

I've been conspicuosly absent from this site and thought it was high-time you all got an update. This last week's been an incredibly busy one. My series on Polygamy (The Real Big Love) debuted on the Nightside Project . They played it again several times in the morning and pretty much plugged it all day. Some people are talking award-winning. I really enjoyed putting it together, too. I also got to shoot one of my interviewees with an airsoft gun and we had our Nightside one year anniversary since we've officially been on the air. We're marking that celebration with a fun show tonight. We're pretending to pull archived tape of stuff we've done through the decades. I made mine on Who Shot JR. Oh, and one other thing I'm not supposed to mention, but I'll mention to you. They're talking syndication. By the end of the month we'll broadcast the show on our sister stations in Phoenix, Seattle, and (just for you east coasters) WTOP in DC.
