Bronwyn C and Fans at WFMU Declare Judge Roy Pearson Douche of the Year

So this past Friday, June 6th (right after a fantastic show by Billy Jam) Killing Time with Bronwyn C’s show started promptly on time-but with a twist! This episode was wholly dedicated to what is normally just a segment on her show; “Douche of the Week.” In, said segment, she reads the fans some news item about some human being (from anywhere in the world) who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to display the worst attributes of their humanity. Almost always it’s never damage the only affects the perpetrator, but something the spills if not ejects to the people around them. In my mind these people are just asses, but to Bronwyn these people are “douches.” So the title of the show was “Douche of the Week Bracketology Special!” And I can probably safely guess she knows nothing about my spoof website form late 1999 “The Temple of Davidology.” But before I go on let me give you a link to the show’s podcast AND playlist . The playlists at WFMU may be one of the more unique things they’ve got going over there; the listeners can actually comment as the DJ adds information. It’s interactive-as the kids say. So you can see my comments and all the other people’s too as we voiced our opinions and casts our votes. Oh, this DJ’s got a lot on the ball, she even wrote a book or 2 a few years ago…

The Obama Assassination Hints Are Starting To Stack Up

It’s amazing isn’t it? How we’re hearing all these Presidential assassination allusions. Obviously in private people must do it all the time, but probably not since Lincoln have we heard so many public figures make some kind of remark and then have to either make a retraction or face the consequences with law enforcement. After all it IS illegal to allude to killing a President, former President or even Presidential candidate. So in the last month there have been several public figures who’ve had to say things like “Oh I didn’t mean it that way” or “I was just kidding.” Obviously FOX News wasn’t going to allow itself not to be the FIRST place to get people thinking about this idea of a dead Obama . And of course Hillary herself got into the dead President game (and I don’t mean money). And of course I MYSELF said this kind of talk was going to start picking up momentum. White people can’t take it. Listen I know people keep talking about “young people” love Obama-of every color, Hurray! But maybe some young people are cut from a different cloth . Take, for example, this young guy…

Change Your Brain and Change Your Life on PBS

Well this is clearly my year to watch PBS. I’ve watched more PBS this year than the last 5 years. Easily. I’m gonna have to send them some money this year I can tell. And this is clearly the year for PBS to tackle mental health. I think it was only a week ago I was writing about a show they aired that focused on the variations of depression. And on June 2nd they aired Dr. Dan Amen’s show they aired that focused on the variations of depression. And on June 2nd they aired Dr. Dan Amen’s Change Your Brain Change Your Life . It appears to also be one of the longest pledge drives in the history of pledge drives. I mean all of the shows I’ve been watching during the last month have been part of the drive. Well that, what you can you do? It’s public TV. As some of you regular readers know I’m doing…OK. I’ve got a lot of positive career and future prospects that would be very hard to derail-so I’ve got a look forward to, but I’m still haunted by being cheat on and left by a woman. I primarily can’t see HOW a person would do that to ME . I do everything I can for people. So I just ponder and ponder, and THAT is one of the strong points this program addresses; how to change things.

Depression Help Options Covered by PBS Special

Depression Out of the Shadows aired here on local PBS channel WTTW Chicago on May 21, 2008. I stayed home and watched. It hasn’t been quite a year yet since the “event” in my life that took me into a depression spiral that this blog is pretty much a byproduct of. Having the type of deep pain that literally makes you cease functioning in a normal way is what people in the profession categorize clinical depression. But I didn’t get help. I “self medicated.” And before you start jumping to conclusions, it was with vitamins. And it’s hard to believe but I wrote this piece about what actually worked a full SIX MONTHS AGO. Wow! But here’s the really awful thing about depression ; I’m better today, and I can function, but the “trigger” event and all the bad feelings about it are still so fresh in my mind it is as if NO time has passed at all. I still spend a good part of every day, despite how mind crushingly busy I am, in my head going over the events, the fallout, the ramifications and the causes that in MY mind really destroyed my life. That’s depression. I know I’ve got it. AND, I refuse to get help. So the PBS special on depression took a very inclusive selection of Americans to give their story.

Aaagghh! Hide Your Porn. The Mom Bloggers are Here!

To follow up on my very late Mother’s Day piece from yesterday I thought I’d tackle the issue of mom bloggers or mommy bloggers as I’m hearing a lot these days too. Wow, it’s seems strange as hell to be talking about a “mom blogger” at all. At first. But then you think about it…and it makes perfect sense! Listen I’ve been messin’ around with computers since a little ol’ thing called the TRS-80. Can you take a guess what year that was? I’ll give you a hint it’s in the model number of the computer. And at the time I couldn’t afford the $499.00, or was it $599.00? And my mother didn’t see what I would do with such a thing in the house-of course at the time a lot of NON-mothers couldn’t see what you would do with it. Even ME. But I knew I wanted one because I wanted to build an Iron Man war suit (see how things really don’t change that much) I didn’t know exactly how, but Tony Stark had one so I figured I’d need one too. But blogging in moms at home seem like a perfect match; women like to communicate, if they don’t have an paycheck job but have a family they tend to have this block of alone time during the middle of the day, most that I’ve met enjoy being busy, and they’re like 51.7% of the internet population now. Fait accompli.
