Insane Random Ramblings

I stayed up late last night watching tv as usual. I think I got less than 3 hours of sleep but I also took a 1 hour nap when I first got home from work. I doubt if I’m actually getting 4 hours of sleep per day. The only thing that helps me get through the day is the radio.

We’re only able to stream 1 radio station with our internet connection at work. Luckily it’s a station that I like anyway. They play all kinds of music from pop to dance to hip hop and r&b. You can hear anything on that station. My favorite thing about the station is that they play skits from the morning show all day long. So even though I miss them in the morning, I can still hear them throughout the day.

If it wasn’t for streaming music, I would literally go crazy.

I was listening to the John Tesh radio show (stop laughing I like that show) and he reviewed a book called 30 Secrets of the World’s Healthiest Cuisines. The very first thing he talked about was Scandanavian countries, Sweden in particular. They don’t snack at all. They eat their 3 square meals per day but they don’t eat a lot of junk food like we do in the U.S.

In some Asian cultures, meat is used as a flavor enhancer. They eat a lot of vegetables and rice but hardly any meat at all. And the secrets of Mediterranean foods is using olive oil is better than other oils, but eating olives is even better for you.

It was a lot of information and very interesting. And yes, I will admit that I listen to the John Tesh radio show.

Usually Saturday night is disco night on the radio. I started listening to it when I worked nights at my last job. I’ve been listening to the show for at least 5-6 years. During the holiday season, the station switches to an all Christmas music format. So I’m out of luck for at least 2 more weeks.

Who knew that I would actually miss hearing cheesy disco music?!?!

The local radio stations are unbelievably competitive. It’s funny though, when 96.1 Kiss came to the area the prevailing radio station with their format 93.7 B94 ridiculed them for not having local dj’s. As a matter of fact, they didn’t use dj’s at all.

Then B94 changed their format for the past 3 years. They returned to their previous format in September and guess what? No dj’s, they use a track and recordings.

Lame B94. If you’re gonna dish it out, now it’s your turn to take it.
