Ok, everyone, I'm finally back. I know I haven't posted to anything except the newsletter to my faithful subscribers (they're always first to get explanations) but some problems had recently came up and made their rise to power.
Let's get down to brass tax here and cut the crap.
1. The day of the Fred Brito interview, a rather dubious pattern of pixeldeaths began happening on my monitor. Even though the monitor was only a 15" monitor, it was the flat style...the desk space saver. Even though I really couldn't afford it, I went ahead and bought this new one. Now, I have a 17" monitor that sits on my damn desk like a huge T.V. set. I'd almost forgotten how much I love having that desk space. Anyway, the monitor has been replaced and since it works, we're about to start rolling along again.
2. A new job opportunity has presented itself and I'm siezing the moment. It's a construction job which means I'll be trading in the monkey suit for a hard hat. Put bluntly, people, I've always enjoyed the whole "good guy" routine but after awhile, when you begin to see how you're getting fucked nine ways to Sunday by supervisors, peers and even those with a little political influence, it's only a matter of time before you quit pretending you don't care and your heart just isn't in it anymore. Does this mean I'm going "bad guy"? Nah. I'll always kinda see myself as somewhat villainous if not anti-heroic but I just can't bring myself to give the 100% anymore. It occurred to me, after watching Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe that a dirty job just might be what's in my future. I still remember when I worked as a grease monkey, I'd come home, covered from head to toe in a myriad of compounds, sludges, sweat and even shit from cleaning horse trailers sometimes, I felt as though I'd accomplished something. Yeah I was dirty and smelly as all hell but I felt like I'd accomplished something. In corrections, that feeling was long gone a long time ago. For those of you who've never worked at Wal-Mart...believe me when I say that place is long overdue for a union.
3. There have been many upgrades made to the show over this past year or so. In light of that, we're looking to upgrade the damn version to...that's right, we're no longer The Genocydal Empyre v2.0...we've gone 3.0! What this means is, it'll be the same stuff you've been hearing on World Rock Radio but we'll be doing more experimenting, making this show bigger, stronger, faster, louder, harder and meaner.
4. We've left World Rock Radio in favor of Krush Radio. Then again, I'm sure this isn't a surprise to most of you. We did it for a lot of reasons. Primarily, we did it to protect the integrity of the show. When World Rock didn't have a single personality on it, we stepped forward onto the stream, pioneering it. Unfortunately, the hands in which it was placed had decided that it will simply be a rock ONLY station. Normally I have no problem with this but much of the music I play by request will be outlawed. It wasn't anything personal, we just decided to do what was best for us and our content.
Now the new job will probably put me working out of town five days out of the week. This means that we'll be restricted to a couple of shows each weekend BUT it will be on a more regular basis. Nothing is set in blood or stone just yet. I don't even know if I have the job at the moment. I just know that the possibility of a regular schedule is there. That, however is ALL that it is...a possibility. It might happen, it might not. If it doesn't, well then that just means we'll have to schedule carefully. If it does, though, be prepared for a regular weekend schedule and the possibility of us doing shows from the road in the future.
We do have some new music lined up that is simply awesome and I think you'll like it. We're also going to be talking a lot more about things that are important but just remember, even though it might piss you off that we talk about 9/11 and government complicity, we're not asking you to simply believe it at face value, look it up, check it out for yourself and then YOU decide what YOU think. Bottom line is, we'll still talk about it. We're going to be talking about a lot of things, just stay tuned and, if it's not your cup of tea, hey, not everyone can keep their head out of the sand on certain things. I can't say I blame those who like living in denial, I honestly wish I could live there myself sometimes, but I can't. Still, the show is also going to be an open forum which means that when I post on the bot that my phone lines are open, that means you can call and express your opinion too, even if I might find it brilliant or moronic, I'll still let you have your say.
In other news the job chasing helped me learn some things. Primarily are the following:
1. I found out the Social Security office didn't need my birth certificate to issue me a replacement card...just wish they'd told me that before I drove for an hour and a half (round trip) to get it because I forgot it here at home.
2. I learned that they'll even take your bank card as a second form of ID.
3. I'm now carrying up to six forms of ID on me at all times. Got an issue with my identity, better be ready to prove that I'm not who I say I am because I'll have enough proof on my end to cause a little humiliation.
Right now, everyone, I'm beat as hell and I'm going to bed. I've lived the life of a day person for two solid days and had one hell of a time getting myself readjusted. My inner clock is wanting me to doze off like I did during that five-hour class...I still ended up only missing two questions out of fifty on the test and passed with a 96%.
Sorry it took so long everyone, now, though, everything is back onscreen and we're gonna be kicking this thing in gear...full throttle.
