The One With the Radio

Do you guys remember the '90s when everything on the radio was good? OK, I have to admit, I never liked Nirvana or that Lump song, but in general, I was a huge fan of the way grunge changed rock and roll. One of the local '90s stations still has Rock of the '90s weekends, and I'll listen to the radio all weekend. Most of the music on my IPod is from the '90s. What isn't is from the '70s.

But I struggle listening to the radio now. I think that song "Delilah" is the new communication device of the devil. Seriously. Today was the second time in the last two weeks when I changed the radio as soon as that song came just to hear it on the channel I turned to. Are we running out of songs so much that we have to play that one 20 times a day?

Television is just as bad. It's like we're catering to the lowest common denominator. Intervention? Little People Big World? Are you kidding me with this stuff? I know you all stare at me stunned when I tell you that I wasn't allowed to watch television as a child, but I'm so glad I wasn't. Now I can at least read when television is bad, which it always is. Even ESPN News is driving me crazy lately. How many more times do I have to hear about Michael Vick drowning dogs? And can we PLEASE stop talking about Barry Bonds now? He broke the damn record. Let it go, folks. Let it go.

That's it. Just wanted to complain. I'm loving my new life outside of an office. Fresh air does a body good, especially a body prone to mental illness. I can't tell you how relaxing it is walking dogs on the beach. The water is so blue and beautiful, the weather warm with a nice, cool breeze. I'm having a great time. I'm back in the office part-time next week, but the great thing about part-time is that when I get tired of it, I can just leave. So I can make extra money and still spend most of my days out in the sun, walking dogs. Now if I could just tan instead of burn... All of you investors should take out stock in SPF50.
