Daily Dose of BS April 25 Take your daughters and sons to work

Take your daughter to work day has been around since 1993 and has been called take your Daughters and Sons to work day since 2003.  I have been a father for almost 18 years and have never had one of my children ask me if they could come to work with me for that day, that is until this year.  My daughter asked if she could come and spend the day with Dad.  I ran it through my boss and am excited to say that my daughter and her twin brother have joined me on starting at the radio station bright and early today.  It was weird I was a bit nervous going to bed last night, kind of like when I have a big interview planned for the next morning, kind of tossing and turning and double then triple checking the alarm.  Here are two kids that I talk with every day and I was nervous I would over sleep and not make it in to work on time.  Weird since I have been in the radio business and working at the crack of dawn for almost 20 years and have only over slept once and have been late to be on the air once, as I sit here writing my daily dose, I began to wonder why I kept tossing and turning.  It’s because my guests this morning are 2 of the most important people in my life and I don’t want to disappoint.  If you are lucky enough to bring your child to work today or any day, enjoy and remember that they really do look up to you and love you.

Daily Dose of BS Reality Tv April 24

Reality tv.  Is it truly reality?  I have seen a few of the so called reality programs and there is no way that these people are really this way.  How can you be that hard partying or that you name it for that long?  I am guessing that many of these so called reality programs are stories that are pieced together from many, many days and multiple weeks’ worth of shooting.  Have you ever noticed that many of the characters wear the same clothing all the time?  This is so they can piece the different stories together.  I do get a kick out of the Duck Dynasty guys but there are definitely set up experiences.  I like to watch the Undercover Boss show, but come on why would someone do such stupid things first of all infront of a camera and secondly pour your heart out to someone you just met.  I don’t think these programs are reality tv but maybe scripted mayhem.

Shocking that Shakespeare came up with these words.

Daily Dose of BS April 23 eye for eye

The big question plaguing my thoughts today is an eye for an eye or is it turn the other cheek?  The Boston Marathon bombing has me questioning my stance on the death penalty.  I wasn’t sure where I stood before but I am really not sure.  At first I was thinking I lean toward the death penalty because of the cost associated with keeping this criminal in prison then I in the same thought think, death is too good and too quick.  I really dislike being on the fence on this issue, it should be an easy answer, as my friends who like to quote the bible like to say if  its in the bible then that is the answer sometimes it isn’t so easy, isn’t both and eye for and eye and turn the other cheek in the bible?  Is your justice based on justice or is it based on revenge?

Daily Dose of BS April 22 mp3's and movies

A few things on my mind today, yesterday while working on cleaning the garage for my oldest sons graduation party I did something that I have never done before I got rid of lots of cassettes. Music has always been the soundtrack of our lives the trigger that brings memories flooding in, and since I got rid of all my old cassettes, all those memories that can never be played again. Kids now a days have no idea about b sides or stretched tapes or the 4th song on the album or cassette. I am guessing lots of great music never gets listened to with all music as mp3's. Last night I brought my kids to see the movie 42 what a great movie, it is hard to believe that such a short time ago that blacks were treated so poorly. I hope and pray that someday we can ALL get along and all have equal rights, I look at the gay marriage issue and hope that this too will be something that our kids look at in the future and think what took so long for this to be solved. And finally when is this rainy cool weather going to go away, having snow yesterday and puddles today made for wet feet and I really dislike wet feet.

Daily Dose of BS April 19 Cameras

I was not a big fan of the cameras going in downtown, I understand why they were going to go in and didn’t have a problem with them, but I wasn’t a fan.  I am now a fan.  I think I am a big fan of the cameras going in downtown now, and mostly because of what has unfolded this week with the bombings in Boston.  You look at how quickly these two men were identified and how swiftly the authorities are taking care of this problem.  I am not a fan of big brother but if you think about all of the things that we do, there is a thread of pretty much everything that we are doing every day from getting gas at your friendly neighborhood gas station to a gallon of milk at the grocery store there are records of us at each place, there are also hidden cameras and surveillance cameras all over the place.  I guess it is good that we live in Wisconsin so we can always walk around and say cheese.
