Can you say Uncle?

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

If you are a Hillary Clinton supporter, things must be bitter, sweet for you right now, I’m going through that at home with the wife and the Mother In Law both Hillary supporters.  And of course me, being the token immigrant my vote doesn’t count at the polling place, and my house. 

 Yes, she do O.K. in Indiana and squeeked by Obama by 2, yes 2 percentage points and a campaign aid states the Hillary loaned herself 6.4 million dollars over the past month just to heep the lights on.  I do belive the “Fat Lady” is on the stage and knows the lyrics by heart, just turn on the damn microphone.  I’m still amazed how much money is wasted, yes wasted on a 3 years campaigning when the whole campaign season can be compressed into ONE year.  Think who much would be saved, how many people would still be interested in politics, besides the media.

Hillary, please get on stage with the Fat Lady and start the damn song, and Obama will be looking for a running mate…

This Makes Gas Look Cheap!

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

This is what I was talking about on the air today,

Think a gallon of gas is expensive?   This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective.
 Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 … $10.32 per gallon
 Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 ..$9.52 per gallon
 Gatorade 20 oz $1.59……… $10.17 per gallon
 Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25…. $10.00 per gallon
 Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15…….$33.60 per gallon
 Vick’s Nyquil 6 oz $8.35……$178.13 per gallon
 Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85….. $123.20 per gallon
 Whiteout 7 oz $1.39……….. $25.42 per gallon
 Scope 1.5 oz $0.99…………..$84.48 per gallon
And this is the REAL KICKER…
Evian water 9 oz $1.49…$21.19 per gallon.  $21.19 for WATER and the buyers don’t even know the source
(Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)
Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?  So they have you hooked for the ink.
Someone calculated the cost of the ink at $5,200 a gallon
So, the next time you’re at the pump, be glad your car doesn’t run on water, Scope, or Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God forbid, Printer Ink!

A Webmistress Revenge

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Hi! Tracy the Webmistress here butting in on Stoneman’s Blog. If you had to sit in the office across the hall from Stoneman and Brian everyday, you might enjoy it, and you might be slightly insane. There’s the yelling, the smelling, the insane laughing, the barbs, the burping…and yet, should I do any of the above mentioned, I am chastised that I should act like a lady. Well the testosterone levels up here are so high I think I’m growing a beard. Of course, both Brian and Stoney think nothing can happen (well, at least Brian knows better) but Stoney has much to learn. So I thought I’d just show off a picture I caught of the two of them last weekend at Artisphere.

Seriously… I love sit up here with these guys… they are the best… but PLEASE don’t tell them… I already have to live with them!

So many weird people

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

This is what I love about the South, food, sunshine and people watching!  There was all of that down at Artisphere in the West End, it was a potpourri of creativity everywhere, including what some people were wearing, I’m sure you saw those people as well.  Makes you feel good about yourself doesn’t it.

Thanks to everyone that dropped by the “ROCK 101 Blues Cafe” and ALL of the great bands that hung out over the weekend, the sounds were sweet.  Check out some of the pics is took!

You Thought Tax Day Was Bad!

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Have you had one of those days, hell I’ve had one of those years!  Don’t get me wrong, my life is great, the family and the people I work with are the best!  There is one thing in radio that we are measured by and that is ratings, and the five years that I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with you, our show has been in the top 3 consistantly, but lately, I have been sucking canal water. Looking into the crystal ball, I’ll be back on top no doubt, but I just have to adjust a few things, you know kiss a few babies, beat some people into submission. You know what I mean, but there is always diffrent ways to motivate us into a different way of thinking, thinking outside of the box.  I get the weekly e-mails called the “Mid-Week Motivator” by Tim Moore Managing Partner of the Audience Development Group. Tim’s thoughts and ideas help me, and maybe you think outside the box!

There are a couple of core disciplines that may change the way your walk the road. First, use negative feedback to make positive course corrections. When the first moon shot was launched in 1969, NASA realized a vision born a decade earlier. On the way to a perfect lunar landing, NASA’s command center made no less than one thousand course vectors.  Instead of saying, “We’re off course.. let’s bring ‘em back,” they made instant-albeit micro corrections-to navigate the trajectory. So long as you keep moving, making minor course corrections in your forced march toward a goal, you’ll be virtually unstoppable.

A second core discipline for turning trying-into-flying comes with the premise that you need to cut short your temporary defeats, and run your wins long. This means knowing when to regroup, involve tactical teams, change direction, or even pull the plug on a flawed plan. When someone strikes out, don’t practice the “its okay, you did your best” response. It’s not okay, and your staff knows it. Teach yourself and your people to shake off temporary failure and get on with it.  If we get a pat on the back for being unsuccessful, what creates the passion to perform next time? This is the raw proposition facing each of us as we lead.In the end, we only need to be right 51 percent of the time to be successful. There is no reward for trying, only for doing. In the immortal words of Thoreau, “I would rather live my live in the heights and depths, than exist in the gray abyss that falls between.”

With motivation like this, we can ALL get back on top of our game.
