Does Anyone Else Listen to the Radio?

This summer has sure been interesting. We have been living in barn without the likes of TV or the internet. As you read this think how lucky you are to always have the world wide web right at your finger tips, it truly is a blessing. Although I must say it sure is fun to see all of the creative things you will do with your wife (yahtzee, cooking, talking, etc)

The reason I bring these things up is because this summer have listened to a plethora of radio. From Rush to DP (Dan Patrick), from Glenn Beck to the Herd (Collin Cowherd) all the way down to Isaac and Sook, to Wheels after work (love Brian Wheeler and his blazer knowledge). It has been great. I love to listen the radio.

To me music is great. But I can count on one hand the number of CD's I have boughten over the course of my life. Jock Jams, Boys to Men, Rip City back again, and EverClear. Listening to music on the radio/CD's/I-pod's seems so predictable. With talk radio you just never know what you are going to get so you have to stay on your toes.

I would be lost without the radio this summer. Constant updates on the Olympics, on the health of B-Roy and G.O., what Nate (McMullian) is drawing up for the "Redeem Team" in Beijing, what number Gold medal Michael Phelps is approaching, other huge upsets like James Blake beating Roger Federer (who some call the best tennis player ever), I could go on and on.

I did not intend for this to be a long post, but rather to just have you ponder the role radio has played thus far in your life, and what it can do to your future.

The the Radio (mainly the AM Radio and 95.5 The Game), I say thank you for a great summer.

ps- Go U.S.A., BEAT China!
