 | THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES: Today marks my fourth day in a row of having to be in at 9 for training. Even worse, I was in at *8* yesterday for a team call. I am not made for early mornings and this week's been a killer, so last night I told myself and I TOLD myself: "Man, just don't go to Transmission at all - go straight home after the Wolves game. BE RESPONSIBLE." But then Michael said he was doing the first hour and I was like "man, it's KINDA on the way home from the Target Center [it's not, really] and it's only an hour - go there, have one stubby Coors and leave early." And I mostly kept to that...the "first hour" was stretching out but I did extract myself right around 11.30, just as Andy was parking his bike outside. I'm doing a brief hi/bye with him and Andy turns to me and says "hey isn't that LaLa walking by?" and I turned around and...well, it kinda DID look like LaLa amongst a small cluster of people but I wasn't gonna run up after them and besides I just couldn't stay one more minute and REALLY, what were the odds that the one week I showed up AND left before closing would also be the ONE week SHE'D show up? Of course, as soon as I got home I opened up Snapchat to see that yep, she'd arrived just in time for Jake's first B-52s video. Of course. Nine months ago when we first met at a fourth of July party, I'm pretty sure I told her we would probably never interact again in real life... but it's not like I really MEANT it. You know what, instead of posting this as a status I'm just gonna drop it in Messenger because I'm not sure if I'm coming off as endearingly shy or more just really, really creepy hoping she'd just stumble upon this later and not come to the immediate conclusion that I'm SUPER WEIRD. (...which I am.) See, if only I knew how Snapchat worked, I could have just sent some kinda innocuous OH MAN reaction immediately and not spent a night wondering if I was gonna write this up for the world 'cause really it's not a bad story per se, just....probably not something a whole LOTTA people are interested in. Well, that probably sums me up, actually. Ha! If you read this far, thanks for being one of the interested people. (421 words)
UPDATE: I did Messenger it to LaLa and she definitely thinks I'm crazy but also I'm OK to post this here now. :) |
| 29.3.18 11:50 | | 1. Have you ever stared at your open Messenger screen for an hour wondering "so if I send this, would I come off as a sweet caring boy with potential that she might like to get to know better... or a creepy psycho stalker she will immediately block forever?"
2. Yeah but have you ever done this, like, EVERY DAY?
3. Somehow this is why I still consider myself a "writer" |

| 27.3.18 11:46 | | Video - Thanks again to KFAI and Mason for letting me occasionally pretend to play a professional radio man. Here's what is always a highlight of my night: when I get to do the mandatory station identification. This may also be the first time I heard "I'm gonna give it to ya" and "it" turned out to be Frank Stallone. Hey let's see if all these attachment things work! |

 | Only 80 minutes left for you to give a LIVE pledge for KFAI - 90.3 FM Minneapolis - 106.7 FM St. Paul on behalf of Cruise Control! (Although afterward, you *can* still give a tape delayed pledge at kfai.org, but I won't be on the other end of your phone) |
| 26.3.18 13:34 | | Matt Dike died back in January but Delicious Vinyl didn't issue the press release until two weeks ago. To say he was a recluse the past - wow, 25 years - was something of an understatement given his contributions in such a relatively short period of time. DV came about just the right time for a Central Valley kid heading to SoCal for college and I haven't forgotten the first times I heard "On Fire" and "Funky Cold Medina" when they were still deep cuts only played on KUOP late Friday nights. RIP DJ. 55 is too young. Heroin is a hell of a drug. Fuck cancer. |

| 24.3.18 13:45 | |  | Choon Wee Lim is a 54 year old Malaysian man who only joined Facebook because his wife and children were on it. Yesterday, his account was hacked, all his photos removed, some American details added along with a "Single" relationship status, a "visit my website" timeline entry added and who knows how many Friend requests sent out, including one for me. Maybe next time try to hack someone younger and also female? 1/10 |

| For over 12 years, I believed I had a 14½ gallon gas tank in my (no longer) New Beetle. Just over an hour ago, I managed to pump 14.6 gallons...and didn't spill any. I wonder what he was running on for those last five miles this morning. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ |

| 1.3.18 16:04 | |  | #tbt I had occasion to browse through the first copy of Boys' Life I ever received in the mail - maybe I'm more into dad jokes in my advanced age but these seem funnier now than they did when I was still in single digits and I love the "Hee Haw" style sick burns. I can't remember if I ever mailed in a joke submission or not. (from the April 1980 issue) |
