This story out of Denver claims this is a real image of an alien being. Reports claim ity is not beleived to be a fake picture, though it is hard to make out the alien… looks more like a shadow. Thoughts??

Florida is not my favorite state. They can’t count votes, it’s full of rich over privileged fakes, hurricanes are no fun, and their regular droughts make large parts of the state prone to fires. While I’m not a big fan of the state, I wish nothing bad on the people there, and the fact is these fires can ruin or end people’s lives.

So when I read this article I was disgusted. Despite regular droughts Celine Dion used 6.5 MILLION gallons of water last year. So houses are burning, people and wildlife are dieing, but Celine Dion’s grass is green. After all the grass is always greener for people who do nothing but sing songs that haven’t been big in a decade.

Miss Dion is being pointed at but other celebs, such as Tiger Woods, are also being mentioned as huge water wasters living in Florida.

This is really a problem because once again the rich get what they want while the average person burns for it, literally. When is enough enough with these people? How is anyone allowed to be rich AND an a**hole? They earned theirmoney and have a right to luxury, I get that and respect that right, but they don’t have a rght to water their flowers while other people lose their homes. They don’t have a right to waste natural resources to these types of levels. It would be one thing if people like Celine Dion were trying to water their lawns to avoid fire, which I’m sure plays a part, but there is no need to use that much water when it could be used to put the fires out.

There is a bigger issue here to me, which is the rich continue to live in beyond reasonable means and you get to worry about the cost of gas and if you can make it to work. I’m not saying the rich shouldn’t have nice things, but when their lifestyle starts to affect the lives of people in a negative way, like people dieing or losing their homes, then something needs to be done. What’s that stupid quote? With great power comes great responsibility? Well with lots of money comes lots of responsibility. The average person is the reason you are rich because chances are they bought what you were selling, and presto! You’re rich and famous. You don’t have to give everyone a pat on the back or your money, but you should pay enough attention to your properties to know if your sucking up a valuable resource that could be saving people.

As some of you know, I moderate the message board on our main website. In other words, not everything people write makes it to the message board. I read it first and then either approve it or delete it. I base my decision if it will go on the website or not on the following:

1. Is there vulgarity (F words for example)? If there is, I don’t post it.

2. Is it on topic? Occasionally I’ll let things through that are random, but if they really don’t make any sense or add anything at all to the show or the board, then it probably won’t go up.

3. If it is a plug for a business… not necessarily a website but an actual business that doesn’t advertise with us, it won’t go up. (not my rules, talk to the corporate drones).

4. Is whats being written just mean spirited and pointless? If you write something like “Kimberly is a F***ing bitch,” or “Kimberly is a Dumbass,” you’re not not going up. Think of a real criticism that is well thought out. Your not getting you Bull S*** vulgarity up there so give it up, jack asses.

5. If you’re going to rip apart bands on Unsigned Talent, forget about it, which is the subject of the post I denied today that I will post here now…

This is the post I rejected:

Here’s why I rejected it:

1. Frank has a day in honor of him in this city for a reason: supporting the little guy. Local bands are the little guy, and they play music that is different and sometimes not as produced as acts that have thousands if not millions of dollars behind them. Do any of you really know what it takes to make a well polished album? Most musicians are not experts in production and editing, just playing. It takes dozens if not hundreds of man hours. That’s why a band is only as good as they are live, because a studio can make anyone sound perfect. Half the bands a lot of your drones like sound like a musical abortion when they play live, OR they lip it. I saw Ratt last year, 100% lipped. So when we play a CD of a local band and it doesn’t sound like great quality, it’s because they don’t have the people behind them to make them sound perfect. Rather than bitch, how about you open your mind a little bit.

It’s local music, some of it is great, some of it blows. If you think it is all going to sound great then you’re an idiot.

I’m tired of you 3 people out there who constantly write in and bitch about local bands and Frank. We have amazing local talent in this city and Frank does an amazing job finding it. I’m sorry it’s not Motley Crue or freaking Freebird. Please have an open mind (for once).

It’s my last day of hangin’ with the crew at smoking club.

Jackson is drinking, and I am gaining weight from all these freakin’ breakfast sandwiches.

“If people didn’t care, they wouldn’t comment” .. that was a quote a program director told me early in my radio career.   It really took me years to realize what he was saying.   Or, as Kimberly says, “If you agree with us, great.  If you disagree with us, even better.”   

Here’s a couple of emails I received this week from listeners who are not happy.   Enjoy!
Beck,

I was appalled and disgusted this morning while listening to the buzz (around 6:30).  Kimberly and Beck were discussing the 16-year-old boy who was killed in Rochester on Monday night, Daniel Davis.  They had a phone call on the air from a man who was claiming that his 16-year-old daughter is home every night by 8pm; his opinion was that Daniel’s parents should have known where Daniel was and what he was doing.  It was at this point that Beck said something to the effect of “Maybe what we should do is pull them [police officers] off the streets and let them all kill each other.”  (He may have said “…let them take each other out”.)

I have never moved so quickly to turn the radio OFF.  I was shocked to hear a talk-show DJ make such a ridiculously obvious bigoted, ignorant and hateful remark.  Beck obviously has no idea what kind of power and responsibility comes along with being on the radio for a few hours each day.  When you have so many people listening to your opinions, you are not only representing yourself, but also the company you work for.  I will NEVER, EVER listen to 98.9 again unless justice is done and Beck is permanently replaced (and I don’t mean moved to another Entercom radio station).  Your radio station has been removed from all of my radio settings, and I have made it a point to tell my family, friends and co-workers what I heard this morning.

Had I not been on my way to work, I would have called to ask Beck exactly who “THEM” is.  I bet he couldn’t have honestly answered THAT without losing his job.

Sincerely,

Amy

Dear Beck,

I am a recent attendee of the Irondequoit Prom at the Harro East Ballroom on Sunday. I’ve always loved to listen in the morning buzz but on Tuesday morning I was called down to listen to Kimberly talk rudely and very opinionated about things she doesn’t know. To make things very clear… No one was swinging on the lights, since they were 15 ft above our heads. Kimberly is that dumb to even think that  students who are 16,17 and 18 years old could reach the lights. Lets be real now, people were dancing and not paying attention to the lights that were on the stage and the people who could see them, like my best friend, watch them slowly fall down like time was slowing down. She was in the hitting zone but luckily her dancing partner pushed her so she wouldn’t get hurt. Chaperones were all around us but they didn’t see a problem with the dancing on stage because it wasn’t getting out of hand.

The News isn’t correct either, yes 13 went to the hospital and the light structure fell but kids weren’t hanging on the lights.Watch the video from 13 WHAM News… my best friends were interviewed

KIMBERLY IS THE DUMBASS OF THE MORNING GROUP….. Beck thanks to you, she can be shut up!!!

From your listener

Carla W.

The countdown to quitting continues with another nutritious breakfast….and a smoke.

I’ll throw in another reason I’m glad to be quitting. I’ve given out 6 cigarettes today. By the end of the day I’ll have given away half a pack at this rate.  If it were one person….that would be fine. THREE PEOPLE have bummed off of me today. Oh well…it’ll be over soon.

If you’re thinking about quitting too, Leslie at Wilmot Cancer Center sent me this link.

Today on the show we discussed Kimberly’s love life as she has been going on casual dates with some dude. In honor of that, for those of you having trouble finding a significant other, and especially those who seem to always be the friend, I present to you this: The Ladder Theory of Male/Female Interaction

There’s some vulgar language in this, so be warned. Just something to pass along, discuss below if you’d like…

He was my childhood idol: Indiana Jones. I begged and pleaded with my mother to buy me a bull whip so I too could swing from branches and ward off Nazis. Of course, being a fat kid, swinging wasn’t exactly my thing but still…

So when I heard the news of a 4th film I naturally exploded with excitement. How would Indy look after all these years? Would there still be Nazis? What could you possibly follow up the cup of Christ with? Would Sean Connery be in the new one? Who would be his love interest?

Months went by in anticipation, and this past Sunday I finally got to see what I’ve been waiting 19 years to see, and I’m here to tell you that the movie is a lot of fun and worth seeing.

But there is a problem.

It’s not with Harrison Ford. The man is in great shape and still plays Indy to perfection. He’s suave, witty, and the smartest grunt in the history of movie action stars.

It’s not Shia LeBoef. He was fun, and played the kid role just fine. It wasn’t ground breaking, but it’s an action flick.

It’s not Karen Allen, the actress from the first film who I haven’t seen on a big screen in what seems an eternity. Again nothing special, but decent.

It’s not the Crystal Skulls (or should I say, skull). Without giving much away, the ending is a bit… different. I mean the crystal skulls themselves, and you can look this up, have been said to not be made by human hands… I’ll stop there.

The problem with the movie isn’t really the script, all though there were probably some better ways to do it.

Here’s the problem: George Lucas.

George is a special effects genious, there’s no debating that. Star Wars and first 3 Indy films were visual wonders, but Indy 4 falls into the trap that the Star Wars prequills fell in to: there is WAY too much special effects and CGI. Too many green screens. Too much polish. Too many big explosions. TOO MUCH LUCAS.

The movie suffers by not giving you that grainy and dirty feeling the first 3 films did. Everything is too bright and well pronounced, especially the ending. Again without giving it away, the ending is 100% CGI special effects to a point of sickness, which is all Lucas’ doing. Granted, special effects filled endings are not at all foreign to this series, and neither are out of this world happenings, but I really felt they should have done much less and left the mind guessing a little at the end of this one.

The first half of this film makes you believe this may jsut be the best Indy film yet. The second half however makes you think there is something missing… perhaps effort. Spielberg is better than this, and should have gotten more out of all this.

Again, entertaining for sure, but not the best of the series. I do hope they’ll make another one, and judging by the sales I don’t doubt they will.

 Overal: 7.5/10 stars (for an action adventure movie)

Here we go again. Hopefully for the last time.

I HAVE to quit smoking already. This is ridiculous.

As you know, I enjoy working out.  Whether it’s with John H. at the DFC, riding 15-miles on my bike, or hitting the slopes at Bristol.   Kimberly will tell you I’m addicted.  With that said, my pet peeve are people who say they “don’t have time” to work out.   Give me a break.   Veronica, a mother of four that I know, gets her butt up out of bed early to walk 10-miles a day.   If she has time, I have time to get my sorry ass to the gym.  Yes, there are days I feel like a slug.   But I will tell you, 90-percent is just getting there.  Once I’m there and have logged a mile or two on the treadmill, the rest will take care of itself.   I feel better, I sleep better, and I’m much more relaxed around my kids.  Plus, as parents, I think it’s one of the best examples we can set for our children.   No, you don’t have to join a gym.  But I will tell you that I made great strides in weight loss and overall body strength once I started working with John H.   Get out, walk or go for a run.  Suck in some fresh air, enjoy the sunshine and turn off the TV.   Hey, if my alarm goes off at 2:30 a.m. and I have time to hit the gym, you can do the same.  Now, I’ll get off my soap box and congratulate you ahead of time for the physical activity you’re about to do.   Thanks for reading this. Stop making excuses and go get some results.
