There has been many things going on in my everyday life that are just bugging the heck out of me. I'm taking a class at Lee called "Music Recording Industry", and please don't get me wrong, the class is worth while and overall a good class... if that is something you want to do with your life. I don't want to be in the music business. No, talk radio is not part of the music business. Now, there are some good things that I can take from this class, like how to get connections, how to get your foot in the door, but at the end of the day, the average Telecommunications major does not care about this class. Lee should take the class out of the TCOM major and move it to the music business major, it would fit perfect in the major. This class is mainly geared towards those students who want to be band managers, music executives, run a recording studio, and all that stuff is perfect for music majors, not TCOM students. Granted, there are some TCOM students that do want to run sound for a band or something, but overall I think the average TCOM student doesn't want to work in the music industry. I want to be in talk radio, bring in someone from talk radio to talk to the class, but all of the guest speakers are in the music business and that bores me. It's cool to meet these people and all, but their message doesn't "do it" for me.
Next on the "bugging" radar is all the politics going on. I almost regret ever caring about politics. It is so stressful watching the country I live in go down the socialist road it's going down. Over one year ago, I just wanted to hear a funny talk radio show, and instead I found politic news talk, and I've been hooked ever since. In my personal life prior to that point, it seemed like the last major politics news story was back with Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski. Now it seems like everyday, I notice a major political news story that I care about. The problem is that there isn't a face to face forum to get all of this political opinion that is in my head out and into the open. I used to post status updates on, but then the facelessness of the internet allows people, with no opinion of their own to just copy and paste talking points and try to use them as their own. I'd rather Facebook just debate someone face to face. FROM THIS MOMENT ON, I WILL NEVER POST A POLITICAL COMMENT AS A STATUS UPDATE ON FACEBOOK!!! At the end of the day it does no justice and most of my friends on Facebook just don't care.
Finally, football season is back, but this season it comes with a brand new twist... I'M MARRIED!! When you listen to comedians and other people, they make fun of guys watching football with their wives, and the power struggle that goes on. I haven't experienced any power struggle yet with my wife, but she doesn't understand how any body can sit on the couch all day Saturday and all day Sunday and just watch football. I don't know how to explain it, other than IT'S FOOTBALL. I grew up learning to enjoy every moment of a football game, high school, college and pro. I really don't know how to tell my lovely wife that watching football is just something I do. It is one of the few things on T.V that interest me. Before I was married, I would just watch it without a single thought, but now that I'm a married man I have to consider that maybe my wife doesn't want to watch 6 hours of football on a Sunday afternoon. I should maybe, possibly be a good husband and hand the remote over to my wife and let her control the TV on a Sunday. I don't know... any advice from a married man?
That is all for today.
