Stuff I reallly, really, really want to talk about but can't

Do you ever want to blog about somebody and even though you can use a code name for them you know there is a chance they will know you are talking about them because they read your blog (and other things)? Let's just say my Facebook stalker (I have one) has found out about my 50 dates thing through this blog and decided this was a good time to ask me out. Oh geez!

Well I guess he knows that you don't like him now. :P

He should have known by me deleting all his comments and ignoring him and never going out with him when he's asked before.

How about a "No, I am not interested" instead of writing a blog about someone? People respond better to verbal communication and not some mystical, whimsical, implied subliminal language.

Oh Anonymous, I blog because I blog. I don't mention names because it would be terribly rude. If a guy ignored me and my advances and never went out with me and deleted all my comments when I posted them on his wall instead of privately messaging him and did other things I can't mention here because it might reveal who this person I'm talking about is I would take a hint. So would any sane, self-preserving person. Some things you don't need to say. You just move on. I'm not the one being obnoxious, I shouldn't have to be the one to communicate. Especially when I do not care to.

First and foremost, I apologize if I caused you any discomfort or offended you in any way. I blocked on you Facebook and Twitter. That being said, blogging is part of an alarming trend I am noticing in the Church, and one of the reasons I don't go anymore. Members of the Church in Utah LOVE to gossip, more so than anywhere else in the country. It's also interesting to see how blogging is an extension of that gossip.

It's also interesting to note about how so many people are doing the 30 or 50 dates thing. The rationale seems to be that going on as many dates as possible will result in a possible companion. When I was active in the Church and dating, it was interesting to see how many girls that I went on dates with had a "celestial checklist" and how if someone didn't match one little criteria, it was an automatic deal breaker.

I always felt out of place in our little ward in the Avenues. It's strange, because when I am at work or school, I've never had a hard time gelling with other members. Coming to a new place and trying to meet new members was very difficult when I started going to our ward. People would invite me to events and then treat me strangely when I arrived.

I hope that you find happiness and friendship in your life. You deserve it. You are bright and have a successful life and career ahead of you. Like you said, however, I am moving on. I have moved on from the Church. I have found a lot of people in my life who are accepting of me and who won't judge me because I'm not like them. They will be friends with me for who I am, and they won't make me feel like I've offended them in any way shape or form by just existing.

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.

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...
