Hi guys.
Thanks, Eric, for pointing me to this message board.
I love the fact that some of you think that because you disagree with my political opinions, then that means EVERYONE on Earth not only hates my opinions but also hates me as a human being.
I'm actually one of the most laid back people you'll ever meet. I was even a "damn dirty hippy" with quite a pot habit until my last year of college. You might remember something that happened that year involving planes full of innocent people being flown into a couple of buildings. Watching that on TV, and really thinking about what I was seeing and what it meant geopolitically really changed my politics. I know from first-hand experience that A LOT of my fellow liberals became conservatives that day.
This may also surprise you, but I'm shy in person. My radio show is where I vent and say whatever the Eff I want to say, so when I go home I'm usually done "expressing" myself for the day.
WGRD is a very happy family, and we all not only like each other, but we RESPECT each other for what each member of the family brings to the table.
I don't do a morning show. I am, first and foremost, a DJ. However, they pay me a little more than the rest of the DJ's and put me on during the second-most listened to time of day BECAUSE I don't think about whether my opinions are popular, or whether they'll offend some guy named Brice who works the espresso machine and "like totally loves" Obama. If I feel it, and believe it, I say it. And if I stopped talking from my heart about issues I think are important, and tried too hard to please everyone (like, unfortunately, both our presidential candidates do every time they open their mouths), then I'd lose listeners, and WGRD would put someone else on that pissed you off. So instead, I do my show every day for the people that DO like to hear what I have to say. I've been blessed over the last 3 and a half years, and I'm proud to say there are lots of you out there.
Very entertaining board, by the way.
If you have any questions, I'm all ears.
