HOLIDAYS AND THE JOY WITHIN

"It's the most wonderful time of the year...."

At least that's how the song goes. Reality seems to prove otherwise. High credit card bills....high gas bills...crowded malls...fighting relatives...oh yeah, it's joyous alright!!!

Don't get me wrong. I dig Christmas as much as the next person, Hell, you get those crazy puppet shows on T.V.(Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, Mr. Heat Miser, etc....). I just don't get the feeling of anger in the air. People are pushing and shoving their way through the stores. What they don't realize is it's their fault they are shopping on Christmas Eve. Buy one gift a month all year and guess what....YOU"RE DONE!!!!

And then you have that relative....You know what I'm talking about.

Here's the conversation:

"I can't wait to see you Aunt Betty"

"Well, the only way you're going to see me is if you come to me. You know I have a fear of bridges!!!!"

Gee, you have no problem coming down in the Summer to stay and go to the beach and go to the boardwalk I guess winter time at the Jersey shore is synonymous with Siberia. That's alright your fruitcake sucks anyway!!!!

You know who's the biggest fan of this time of the year??

Annheiser Busch.

Drink up!!!!! Self medication is the way to go.

Merry Christmas everybody!!!

We'll discuss New Year next time.

and remember:

THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

Good Luck My Ass!!!!!

They say that getting hit by bird sh-- is good luck.

15 seconds later I found out.

Taking Daddy Down A Notch

Ok, so I'm the father of two. A two year old and a 3 month old. Greatest thing i've ever done. And I never thought I'd be saying that. I'm a pretty selfish guy and the thought of kids seemed like a hinderance and not a lot of fun. Boy was I wrong. Sure, they'll turn your life upside down at the drop of a hat. But, it's the daily challenge that is the spice of life.

So, my two year old is at the age where she'll reapeat anything she hears. But that means you can pretty much put words in her mouth and make her say what you want her to say

EXAMPLE:

I taught her to finish this...

DADDY: "I'm going to take you down......l"

DAUGHTER: "to Chinatown!!!!!"

2 years old and she's taking people down to CHINATOWN!!! Now that's funny!!!

Apparently while I'm at work here my wife has gotten in on this game.

EXAMPLE:

MRS TBONE: "Who's the queen?"

DAUGHTER:"MOMMY!!!"

MRS TBONE: "Who's the princess?"

DAUGHTER: "ME!!!!"

MRS TBONE: "Who's the jester?"

DAUGHTER: "DADDY!!!!!!"

Now our BIKE BASH party is tonight and there will be plenty of people who come up and say "Hey TBONE nice to meet you........ I get stoned with you everyday......I've been listening to you for 10 years....etc, etc.....". I would be lying if I said that it didn't go to my head just a little. After all this is why I got in this silly business of radio. I want whoever's listening day to go by a little better and for people to say "I KNOW THAT GUY, HE"S ON THE RADIO!!".

But then I'll come home and I'm just Daddy or even the Jester. And that is just as satisfying.

Maybe I'll see you at the BIKE BASH PARTY.

Until next time


THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

Genesis 4:20

So the suits upstairs said to me the other day:

"Hey, Tbone, you're going to start blogging on the website!!"

I looked into this guy's face and I knew he had no idea what he was talking about. It was just another attempt at appearing to be cool and hip when the reality is all this guy deals with is numbers...If you ever saw the NBC show "THE OFFICE", everything outside of an air studio is like that....incompetence mixed with a belief that a tie will get you the respect you deserve.

Thank God I chose the air studio option!!! It's made life a lot more fun.

So, anyway, here we are...LET'S BLOG!!!!

I titled this thing GENESIS 4:20 because it's the first chapter of the Tbone story. No, I don't have a God complex(although some people around here would beg to differ), I just thought it was funny. I'll try to post new thoughts and stuff everyday but, as is always the case with me, I'll probably do 5 days in a row then take a month off . Hey,typing is exhausting work.

I have to say "HI" to Ed and Sue String out of North Cape May. They wrapped up a 30 pack of Miller Lite and dropped it off to the station as a Christmas present for me. Now that's listener loyalty!!!! Let's face it, being married and a father of two, picking up chicks isn't going to be an option....but FREE BEER is always good!!!!!!!

Also, getting ready for BIKE BASH 2005 at the HARD ROCK CAFE at the TAJ MAHAL Wednesday night. ZXL parties are always a good time. We have the most loyal listeners in South Jersey and love it when we invite them out of their house, provide the liquor, the band, and this year TWO HARLEY DAVIDSONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE WINNER>>>TWO BIKES!!!!.... SWEET(as said like that redneck in those Dodge commercials(("That thing got a hemi? Sweet!!!))

Alright, that's all I got for now. I promise it will get better as time goes by. You'll get to know more about me and my simple life then I ever let anybody know.

And Remember,

"THE BEATING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES"
