Aircheck 01-05-09: New Year's Resolution

This morning we talked about how I've decided to do more social networking this year. My plan is to keep in better contact with the listeners, and get more feedback and suggestions from you in regards to WRRV and Music All Morning. So, if you haven't done so already, please check out the links to the right and friend request me on Myspace or Facebook. You can also follow my status updates on Twitter, if you prefer. I look forward to hearing from you!

Travolta tragedy sparks conspiracy theories

I'm sure you heard the sad story about John Travolta's 16-year-old son, Jett, over the New Year's break. He had a seizure, bumped his head on the tub and died. Of course, the conspiracy theories are now rolling in. People are now saying that Jett had a history of seizures but was taken off of of important anti-seizure medication by John Travolta (possibly because Scientology forbids it). Others are saying Jett was actually autistic, and wasn't given proper care due to the rules of Scientology. And this headline speaks for itself: John Travolta's gay lover is to blame. What do you think? Comment below.

I paid $85 a ticket, $7.50 for a bottle of water and this was my view for 3 hours!!!

Life is worth living again - Lost returns on 1/21

I am a "Lost" nerd. I have been studing the DVD's for the past 6 months. I have theories on where the island is, why Widmore and Ben hate each other and am still looking for proof that Claire is actually dead. But mostly, I want to see Kate in a bathing suit again.

Polar Bear swim turns into a brawl

You know those Polar Bear Club idiots who jump into freezing cold water on January 1st? This year things got a little out of hand when a fight broke out after the swim. These Polar Bear people only have a few brain cells to begin with, so I guess the rest froze up during the swim. Come on, you know you're not thinking right when you pick a fight with a guy wearing a pink boa!

A robot that pours beer

I don't understand one thing this guy is saying about robotics. I also don't understand how it's easier to tilt your iphone to pour a beer instead of tilting a beer bottle. I do give the guy credit, however, for having some tasty beers on hand (3 Philosophers!)... and a wife who appreciates good beer!

Fun company to work for

A friend of mine posted this video on his Facebook page. The whole office decided to spend the afternoon drinking some beers and lip-syncing to Harvey Danger's "Flagpole Sitta". People think working in radio is a fun job... but we would never be allowed to spend an afternoon doing this. I should have listened to my professors at college and gotten a real job.
