Threat Shark!

Way back on November 13, I blogged about going through some training sessions at 92.5 The X:

I'm also preparing to experiment with broadcast work. I recently just finished up two training sessions at the local campus radio station, 92.5 The X. After finishing up a few more requirements, the goal is to have an alternative rock radio show up and running before the end of this semester. I won't be doing the show solo because that would just be boring. A friend of mine from within the journalism program is also along for the ride, and we will co-host the show together. The hope is that apart from broadcasting and streaming live, we will fire up our show in podcast form following the live-to-air broadcast. There is even the possibility of an accompanying blog to go along with the podcast version of our show. But one step at a time. Once we have the show lined up then we will take a look a few steps beyond.

Here is my update on that situation.

One day I spoke with Gavin Rossdale

I'm not usually one to gush over contact with celebrities, but this time I feel like it.

Head on the wall...

All in all, today was an interesting day.

That is really all I have to say. I'm exhausted and therefore going to bed at a half decent hour tonight. No "up all night" tonight, at least I hope.

Also, I desperately need a hair cut.

I've been listening to Arkells all day today. They're playing a show here in Kamloops tomorrow night that I am hoping to go check out. I won't claim to be a die-hard fan, because I am not. But I do enjoy their music.

Avalanche

Here I am. Another day and another sleepless night.

I've never been able to wrap my head around it. I love sleep. Give me 24-hours with nothing to do and if there isn't hockey on, I will probably sleep for at least 12- to 14-hours minimum. So why can't I sleep when I crawl into bed at a regular hour?

I Can't Stay

More than three years ago, The Killers released Day & Age. At the time, I really only enjoyed the single "Human" and I very quickly dismissed the rest of the album. Three years later in 2011 I discovered the track "I Can't Stay".

An open letter to student politicians

Hello Mr. or Ms. [Insert full name & highly-regarded student political position here],

On behalf of all student journalists around campuses Canada-wide, I would like to thank you for everything that you do not do. I would also like to thank you for staring condescendingly down your extremely large nose at me.

Having been involved in student politics for three years, I feel as though I can fairly criticize you.

We Are All That We Are

Received my copy of the "LOVE Part Two" album from Angels & Airwaves today. Discovered this track at the very end of the album and it instantly sent chills down my spine.

The worst update ever...

It's 1 a.m. and I realize that I have not updated in a while.

I want to update more than this, but it is 1 a.m., the Flames lost brutally tonight and earlier I watched a real life soap opera unfold as three or four bars fought it out over occupancy increases in Kamloops city council today. Besides that, the major issue was over a porta-potty in a residential-area park for a protest group. Oh, the musings of small town politics. Le sigh.
