It’s Visual DNA

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Here’s  a cool site my neighbor Toni Barnette sent me, when you click on the link, a series of about 15 pictures will come up. Click on a photo in that category that appeals to you.  Again 15 picture s will come up, click the one for you and move on.  Just continue to keep picking.  At the end it will give you a profile of yourself…. It’s called a visual DNA…. Your choices dictate your profile.

Mine said, for personality, I’m adventurous with a limitless imagination.  Open minded & honest , music is all about joining in and self expression it’s always on my mind.

For fun, I’m an “Escape Artist”. I love to be outside and catching some rays plus fascinated by the world around me.

Habits, I’m a “New Wave Puritan”, I’m a little bit naughty, being good all the time is too boring.  I care about myself and health and I have a expressive personality.  I like my surroundings to be simple and comfortable.

Social, I’m a “Nostalgic.”  It says the nothing beats good times with friends and I like freedom.  I take any opportunity to push myself to the limit.

Check it out and take the test.  Http://DNA.imagini. net/friends

 

 Remember it’s visual and kinda cool.

Boston & Lou Gramm and that Bass Player!

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Man, what a great show, Lou Gramm and Boston!  This was one of those shows that will be talked about for a while.

Thanks again to the gang from the Bi-Lo Center for helping us put on one hell of a great party, from the Boston Sea Party where listeners enjoyed a stellar low country boil with ALL the trimmings from the catering at the Bi-Lo Center in a suite, to the “Get Schooled” session for 10 lucky listeners with the drummer of Boston and school teacher Jeff Neal.   Jeff is REALLY is a U.S. History  at Bonny Eagle High School in Maine, and the band works around HIS schedule, how cool!  Look for excerpts from that session soon at WROQ.COM

Brian Blades and I got up on stage and saw what you all looked like from the stage.

We couldn’t see too much but the Bud Light sign.

 Lou starting out the nights with a strong 40 minute set and did not disappoint the crowd with his solo songs and Foreigner favorites.  Then Boston took to the stage and ripped out 8 songs nonstop before even taking a breath.

All of the guys we talked to all had ONE common thing on their mind, the bass player and how HOT she was.

Her name is Kimberly Dahme and she played more than just the bass guitar.

Thanks to ALL of you devoted ROCK 101 fans that said hello and just hung out and had a few beers with us.  I have a blast meeting every one of you.  Stay tuned for other killer shows to come!

The First Day Of School

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Two things on my mind today, yea, I know, it’s a crowded place, it’s the return to school for the kids, and parents that have children in another state.   It’s kind of funny, some of the kids are eager to get back, and others want a little more summer.  I was ALWAYS the latter one.   

It all came to the forefront of my mind today when Blades and I were talking about his visit with his lovely daughter in Texas, and how difficult it is for a father, or mother for that matter that are to be away from their children.   Most parents, I shouldn’t say most, some parents take seeing their children and step (I say BONUS) children every day for granted.  I’m guilty of this very same thing, I see my bonus daughter, Bailey every day, and I saw my blood Daughter Olyvia last year.  When Brian and I were talking about when he left his daughter and saw her for the last time, all of the emotions of that day, for me when I left my daughter last year in Kansas City came rushing back, and it tore me up. 

It made me think about how much I miss Olyvia, and how I have treated Bailey, I have taken her being in my life everyday for granted, and for that I’m am deeply sorry.  So when you look at you children every day, do what I just did and look at yourself, then look at how you interact with your children and bonus children…

The first day of school is the first of many things for all of us to learn, and you know what, I just got home from school.

I’m Just Sayin’….
