Joeg Says

Snickers really satisfies

2011-11-08T12:36:00.001-08:00

how does she do that?

An hour to eat a Snickers bar, wow! I gave it to her, watched her take a bite, and an hour later when i returned i watched her take a final bite. "is that the same Snickers bar i gave you?" yes it was; "I'm savoring it" she says.

i wish i could slow myself down long enough to do that, i've been known to start eating those things before i can even get the entire wrapper off. i just can't pace myself like that. well not with a Snickers bar anyway

perhaps this speaks to her personality and her character, deliberate? methodical? patient? does she do this with everything she eats? or just the occasional chocolate bar?

either way i have never seen this before......hell I aint even heard of anything like this before. tomorrow i will offer a a bag of M&M's, lets see how long those last.

I must admit, I wasn’t a fan when I met this guy, cocky? I don’t think so…I couldn’t put my finger on it, guess I just had to witness something….but I knew our path would cross soon enough, I certainly saw him coming…..I guess I just needed get to know him a little bit more and witness what he’s capable of doing when a situation or circumstance are less than ideal. There is ones personality and there is ones character. To witness the latter, takes time or an event that forces it out and puts it on display for all to see, it’s in their reaction and in their process…..and I have seen my share of characterless types during my time. They make me sick and I fear them because they are so unpredictable, spineless, and worst of all, when under the gun, they are liars.

But I’ve seen enough of this guy, and I’ve heard from him enough to get it, and get him…..yeah, he’s alright. And it wasn’t just the fact that he tells me he’s beholden to some shitty B movie he watched tirelessly as a kid, but instead it’s the fact that he was comfortable enough share it with me. Also saying that the best part is those moments when he’s talking to me didn’t hurt his cause either.
Yeah, he’s alright.

i've been thinking.....and what you said to me today makes a lot of sense.

you're sooooo right!

they don't want to talk to me, i'll give them honest answers and they don't want that.

Shutter Island

2010-02-21T15:38:00.000-08:00

A Psychological Thriller? Yeah, I’m a fan! I love those movies! Directed by Martin Scorsese? Yes! I am a huge fan. Goodfellas! The Departed! Raging Bull and Taxi Driver! Great flicks…..Leonardo DiCaprio? Sure, Ben Kinsley? Max Von Sydow? Wow, quite the talented cast …

Shutter Island?

It sucked!

A US Marshall sent to a government island facility for the criminally insane to investigate the disappearance of a prisoner made for a great 2min trailer. But a 138min flick left much to be desired.

90 minutes into this two and a half hour ride the people sitting to my right just got up and left……

I’m writing just to let them know (if they happen to read this) they didn’t miss a thing, in fact I should have followed their lead. It was like watching a bad Alfred Hitchcock film. At every plot twist I found myself perking up a bit and saying to myself; “ok, here we go”...but the excitement of this new development in the story was short lived and minutes later, I was bored again.

I will end my short rant with this; the opening scene in which Leo’s character and his partner arrive on the island and are met by the deputy warden of the prison along with a number of armed guards who all “seem, a lil on edge” makes much more sense when walking out of the theater.

Put on ya mask, wearing ya cape!

Wow!

i haven't heard this song in years.........it reminds me of the best of times, i remember the day i bought the CD, and i remember wearing the CD out and sitting for hours with my guitar learning the chord changes/progressions and singing it loud (when no one was listening)

14 years later.......sitting in my office, I'm was reminded today just how awesome this song is, thanks for droppin by...... and don't ever lose that smile! it's priceless! and one helluva memory trigger.

Awesome!

2010-01-15T10:05:00.000-08:00

it's been awhile, and i have been asked to make an effort to blog more on this page, OK, i hear your request and i will make every effort to get back to where i once was
(wherever that may be)

i guess I'll start with something out of the ordinary, i've never been one to comment on the top stories of the day or the political climate because it's almost impossible to see and hear the truth on radio or television.......

but i love it when those hired to deliver the news offer up a glimpse of their own opinion on certain matters, and for just a few moments are caught being real/thinking/feeling human beings and not some piece of plastic reading from a teleprompter.

here is the best example i can find of late

What are you prepared to do?

2009-09-09T14:57:00.000-07:00

ya wanna make it stop, ya seek results, ya want action, ya want answers?

then simply do something "Brutally Impressive!"

it's the only thing that works....

Gotcha!

2009-09-09T07:05:00.000-07:00

it can truly be said; i now have a new prize!

it's just sitting there........

and since i never see them where i sit, they will never see where it now sits!!

rock it on!

2009-08-28T20:13:00.000-07:00

You want my help? You're asking me?

No fucking way! and i'll tell ya why...

First of all. you don't pay me enough, and secondly, you won't stand behind me or follow me when i act. You consistently reject my ideas and on more occasions than i wish to recall you have reversed my decisions, but now you want me to help you?

fuck you and fuck that!

i've been there, and i know what ya going through, and i know exactly how to fix it, change it, and guarantee it never happens again. but it's gonna take balls you just don't have.

So here is the only advice i have for you my warm fuzzy, group hug, liberal friend. "when ya going through hell, just keep going"

Thats a Bold Statement!

2009-08-26T18:13:00.000-07:00

You're gonna have to prove that to me! Because i'm not buying it...in fact; I'm never gonna buy it! There is nothing you will ever say or ever do that will convince me that your allusion is true....and i'm not gonna leave it alone until you offer forth a complete and utter retraction! What the hell were you thinking?

I was there! I know this man! and he knows me! So i don't give a shit what "they" are telling you. "they" don't know what i know, and one of the things that i know is this; you are not what "they" claim., and if this pisses you off or deflates your obviously overblown ego, i don't give a shit!

and "plenty of people?"

Bring them before me, i wanna hear what "they" have to say about you... let me press my story about him against their opinion of you and we'll see which one breaks, because i have a story to tell too, and this man who you claim to be is part of that story....and i regret to inform; you are not.

and last but not least; as we shuffle forward on this mortal coil i will never forget the one "they" believe you to be. But, do "they" also believe that i will remember you?

c'mon, you don't even know how to return a fucking favor!

Go Now!

if i ask "how ya doing" and you choose to offer lip service with a simple "OK" when i can clearly see that you are not. i'm just gonna move on with the rest of my day.

i think the whole self hate lyrics of The Grunge era in popular music fucked many of them up anyway. the bands and the songs screamed "i just don't give a shit"......

One Word

2008-10-18T16:06:00.000-07:00

In all my time i have met quite a few, actually it would not be a stretch to say i have come to know thousands by name or face..........and they have come to know me, but i have never met one of these! i know enough about him to know that i don't wish to know any more about him..........and only one word comes to mind when i think of him, a word that encompasses all the faults and shortcomings of the human character, a word so exact and universally understood by every race and culture that it needs not ever be defined, it is simply understood by all, and everyone knows what the word means, you never have to explain it, and there is no proper word in any language that one could substitute when in the company of the lofty and beautiful people. of all the words in all the world, this is the only one you ever need use when describing an individuals lack luster and less then adequate outward persona.

He is an "Asshole"

and you really can't label an Asshole anything else.

and the saddest part about being an Asshole, is not knowing you're an Asshole, in spite of being told directly many times, you simply refuse to accept the fact or even consider the possibility that, yes! you just might be an Asshole.........but there is no getting that notion through to an Asshole. and those who claim that you are not an Asshole and speak in your defense......well, they are Assholes too. Assholes have a keen ability to seek out and befriend other Assholes. it's like a cult of brainwashed Assholes...they see nothing and can only relate to other Assholes.

so be careful my faithful, the next time you over hear someone refer to a friend of yours as an Asshole, think about it before you're quick to defend. consider the possibilities, hmmmmmm, maybe he is and Asshole (and if i try to cover for him, I'll be an asshole too).....for if you fail to do that, then you too are an Asshole, just like ya friend, oh, and that other Asshole I'm talking about!

i should make you all pay for this kinda info.......it's gold i tell ya, gold!

Innocence

2008-10-13T16:31:00.000-07:00

What else can I do when the tears have all been wasted?
And the only voice you choose to hear sings the songs of our hearts breaking.

Say your dreams, they all have changed.
Well, my smiles, they all have faded.
And the thoughts that used to seem so pure in my heart, They now feel jaded.

Because I wanna feel like I did. And I wanna feel innocence.

What else can it be except this pride I'm sick of drinking.
Storm clouds all have gone away. Can we stop this thing from sinking?

Because I wanna feel like I did. And I wanna feel innocence.
And I want you to know, And to feel in your soul, That someone has come and gone.

Im stuck up here with you.
I never thought we get this high.
I used to be afraid of falling.
Now I'll spread my wings and I will fly.

I wanna feel like I did.
And I wanna feel innocence.

you tell me.

2008-10-10T17:22:00.000-07:00

Ok, we’re getting closer, not sure how much longer it’s gonna take, it wasn’t as easy as I thought and the good doctor is a busy man, but we’re getting there.

It’s just not sexy yet!

And I don’t quite know what I want …I’m also struggling with a couple of questions that won’t stop nagging at me. Can I do this? Should I do this? I’m just not sure if there is an audience for the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind. It’s basically what ya’ll have been seeing, but I do promise to be a bit more prolific with it…………..and perhaps a bit more “Sketchy”, but just as cryptic (I hope), with a bit more honesty and reckless thinking. (Did I just contradict myself with that last sentence?) Fuck it! I also said this months ago and It still rings true; I’m not out to hurt anyone or expose them.

But her ass did look good in those jeans today…… like a ripe peach. And the only thing I gotta say to her boyfriend is this; She doesn’t give a shit how good you are at Guitar Hero! The longer she sits on the couch watching you on the world tour, the closer she gets to walking. …..in fact, I already told her to get the hell away from you.

Is that worth $1 a month?

The Doctor was in!

2008-10-03T16:50:00.000-07:00

major strides today...

the good doctor was right on time and we broke ground on The Club this day. He's sworn to secrecy so don't even ask, the threat of shooting him in the face and dumping him in a fucking swamp is probably gonna help keep him quiet too.

I'm a firm believer that you can get a lot further in life with a kind word and a gun than just a kind word! and i also agree that two people can keep a secret between them if one is dead.....and then the first to "friend" me way back when walked in, and while sitting there side by side with both laptops ajar, we had no choice but to tell her we were playing battleship.......

i don't think she bought it and I'm a horrible liar..but a pleasure to see her as always.

For the Last Time!

2008-10-02T16:02:00.000-07:00

I wish it would just stop, because i hate when it comes up..........why the fuck the two of you even brought it up in the first place is beyond me (or did i bring it up) are you not bored with it by now?

It wasn't fun, it only sounds like fun because it's over and i got an animated story to tell, perhaps i embellish a bit, over exaggerate, and make it up sometimes. ya know, just to hold the audience....but this is not how i wanted to start the year, by telling a bunch of back in the day bullshit....folks seem to enjoy hearing stories of miserable experience, they are enamored with it, drawn to it........and soon I'm gonna try and give it to them.

"i had a drink with him" what the hell does that mean? why the hell would you tell me that? i don't care if ya dropped acid with him and he gave ya the reach around while you buggered the bastard....now that would be a good story. and thedroplist shit still has me pissed!

anyway

I'm meeting with the good doctor tomorrow, we're gonna discuss the rules and regs that will be in effect at The Club , we are getting close. my only concerns are the precautions I'll have to take, what the club allows me to do, and how much it's gonna cost to keep it up and running month after month......if it's pricey I'm pulling the plug or making you pay for it!

Have ya seen the Tee Shirts? Very cool!

The Comeback

2008-09-30T09:39:00.001-07:00

That's all i gotta say about that!

what the hell happen to my club?

is it my fault?

i saw it first

2008-09-30T09:32:00.000-07:00

i saw a squirrel perched on a branch high atop a tree yesterday while sitting on the deck in my back yard, and in an instant it leaped from one branch to another. the branch he leaped for was weak, and as soon as he landed on it.......it snapped and down he fell.....when he hit the ground he made a soft "peep" noise like all the air just kinda rushed out of his body. then he composed himself, looked around.....and went right back up the same tree he had just fallen from.

i said to myself; squirrels are fucking stupid

We Have a Winner!

2008-09-30T09:21:00.001-07:00

We most certainly do! and let me say personally, this one is truly worthy of such recognition.

The "Alpha Idiot" award has been won!......and in fine fashion i must say.

The story has everything i have come to expect from an Idiot: it's got irresponsible action and it's got lies spoken out of fear (those are always 2 of the strongest qualifiers when sifting through the hundreds of entries i receive every year)

and now our story will also have a penalty phase. which is actually the bonus round where "Alpha Idiots" can double there prizes...and the best part is this; they can think what they have done, while i get to think about what i am going to do.

i told ya weeks ago; i know who you are!

so where was i?

2008-09-27T20:42:00.000-07:00

ahhhhhh, the rest of the story is here www.thedroplist.blogspot.com

i guess I'll now have time to crack wise on Kid Nation and introduce myself to the new fish in the tank!

so let's get it on!

More to come!

2008-09-25T07:42:00.001-07:00

wow!

i got a message from a fellow DJ willing to break his 2 hour WMBR show in half so that "Droppin Knowledge" can stay on the air...

So Shines a Good Deed, In a Weary World!

i declined his gracious offer.....but i did give him the keys to The Chocolate Factory!

Thanks, Thanks, Thanks

2008-09-25T06:47:00.000-07:00

Below is a letter written to the Program Director of WMBR voicing his concern over the recent 3am time slot that "Droppin Knowledge" has been given for the fall programing season..............

i cannot thank him enough for his help and support...i ask you all to the same!

Dear WMBR Programming Board and Management,

I am writing to criticize several aspects of how WMBR has handled scheduling in this most recent season, and to advocate for those shows which have been slighted. I graduated this past term, but I spent many enjoyable hours DJ'ing and assisting at WMBR. Although I no longer have the ability to dedicate to the full responsibilities of my own show, I continue to be of supportive of WMBR and of my fellows who have been inspired to submit proposals of their own. I spoke in depth with these people after glancing at this season's schedule and gaping in surprise at the choices made. I am honestly offended by some key incidents which I have outlined below.

*Droppin' Knowledge* -

I have been fortunate to have seen much of the interchanges between WMBR management and DJ Joeg on matters related to his bizarre shift on the schedule. Again, Joe works normal business hours; a 3 to 4AM slot simply is not an option.
Many arguments could be made for moving Joe's show. In this case, I don't find any of the logic to be valid.
Was your decision to move DK to a late night slot because...

Low volunteer rating? Well, as I'm sure you are aware, Joe has spent many hours working on a recent concert production which WMBR is directly involved in. If these are not worthy of counting towards volunteer hours, then what is? Jack, you have specifically mentioned that you were well aware of Joe's involvement in the festival, yet seemed to have entirely ignored it because a form has not yet been submitted. Should hours be submitted when the festival is complete, when all hours can be properly tallied and accounted for? Whatever is the "proper procedure" for submitting hours on such a project, it is nevertheless derelict in one's duty to ignore such an obvious contribution merely because all the paperwork isn't yet filed and sorted on an ongoing project.

Joe is a new member and doesn't have the accumulated station cred necessary to hold the spot? Joe is *not* the only individual involved in that show - if you want to give priority to students, you should consider the countless different student guests Joe brings on the show to make it more interesting. Perhaps more importantly, Vinayak and I were and have been listed as producers on the show, and it is not just for kicks, it is because we were and still are *actually* involved in the show. I might not be a student anymore (although only in the past few months), but Vinayak most certainly *is* still a student. Where are the priorities here, and where are you going to draw the line?

The musical selection is generic? The purpose of Dropping Knowledge, as taken from its precursor show, Auditory Stimuli, was to create a show with as much diversity as possible in its musical selection while maintaining a unifying theme across a single show's playlist. Whenever we have written up show proposals, we have chosen songs which are representative of an artist or sometimes a genre. These tend to be some of their better known works, and could possibly be construed as being generic. However, there is a *clear* logic in offering this variety of playlist, since you, the programming board, have to go through piles of applications, and rather than make you puzzle over what some bizarre song by some bizarre artist is all about, we prefer to present you with songs which are clear. Are show proposals about showing off how "hip and cool" you are, or are they about clearly describing the sound and feel of a show so that you, the board, can do your job as quickly and effectively as possible?
Besides, I do not see how a show which ranges from the metal inclinations of Tool to the indie storytelling of the Decemberists, from Pop and Folk to Reggae and Soul, could be viewed as generic.

Poor popularity? As I said, I've been heavily involved in the show since its creation, and spent nearly the entire summer babysitting for Joe since he had yet to be trained. When we'd ask for requests, or put a poll out there for listeners, we would get far more callers than I've come to expect. Each show, we would regularly get multiple calls telling how much they were enjoying the music we were playing.

I have seen few people more passionate about getting involved with WMBR than Joe. Throughout the summer, I saw him experimenting with new styles and ideas (occasionally even at my behest) and coming up with potentially useful plans and ideas for WMBR. The upcoming concert is but one example of this.
Since when is it the mission of an independent college radio station to crush potential and ambition under one's heel? You can argue against or justify actions however you like, *all* I mean to do is give you some perspective, from someone outside the board, and *this* is the perspective shared by many others who have come to me voicing their complaints. If not for these people I would not feel so strongly about this, strongly enough to spur me into sending an email of this nature.

These individual cases speak for themselves in most regards. However, uniting these cases is the programming board's decisions to assign slots that specifically violate the hours noted by these individuals on their sheet as being *impossible* to make. Furthermore, none of these individuals received any kind of notice about the fact that they were essentially being given time slots that would be for them to make. What you have chosen to do has come across to these individuals, and myself, as a slap in the face accompanied by a clear statement: "No you cannot have a show and we're not even going to bother saying it to your face." This is the message that has been heard.

In my time at WMBR I was never entirely clear on why vast sections of primetime night radio, one of the best times for hard tooling MIT students to DJ, were being sucked up by vast two hours expanses of single shows. The schedule looks very full this season; I am very glad that WMBR is popular this year. However, this should never be an excuse to discourage newer DJ's from having shows, which is at least what *appears* to be happening here. Why not take those two hour blocks and make something more of them? Whatever reason you have for keeping them blocked, is it really worth more than keeping WMBR a healthy community with fresh perspectives? Is forcing people into impossible late night slots really the best solution you could come up with? This is MIT, I think we can do better than that.

It is *extremely rude **and unprofessional* to force out shows in this way and to treat fellow music junkies with these kinds of disregard. While WMBR is a "student run" organization, that is no excuse for this kind of behavior. As I have said, there are a good number of people heartily displeased with this schedule, and in all these cases I have outlined, unless something changes, WMBR is going to lose these people as DJ's, as listeners, as patrons, and as advocates. You are driving these individuals away in a hostile fashion.

Is this the message WMBR wishes to project to the world?

Mayday, Mayday!

I know who you are!

you fuck up again, and I'm gonna call you out, single you out, and then point you out..you ever leave'em out there alone again while you're hiding in the sticks like a timid lil rodent.........and i'll tell them all what they wanna know.

if you wanna play the game, then you're gonna keep playing when you fuck up, in fact i'm gonna force you too.......those are the rules!

I'm sure I've read that somewhere.

Maybe I'm just at a point where nothing shocks me anymore, maybe i just don't care, or perhaps i should take the same position and rail against it.

what i won't do is take offense when speaking with one party, and then go celebrate with the other. that would indicate a lack of integrity. no no no.........my opinion on the matter is clear to both sides, perhaps thats why i stand where i stand!

I guess those are the watch words of the new regime'

I'm action! and every body knows that, i don't sit around and stew and i don't need a fucking committee to break bread with before i move, so when i get the call; one in which i have no reason to doubt...."I'm on it" as long as I'm not breaking laws or violating my own morality, I'll follow through on your behalf with the belief that what I'm doing is just.

i recall an incident, one in which action was necessary, but before i took said action, i also recall the one statement i made. "are you sure you want me to do this?" because once i act there is no turning back and i will make no apologies for the outcome!

so in the future you better be sure......don't come to me looking to move your personal agenda through my actions. i lose faith in you when i discover that.

i have an inner circle, i trust them implicitly, there are no lies spoken when we gather and nothing is left off the table, say it here! say it now! this "inner circle" knows what I'm thinking and i know what they are thinking....do we disagree? yes we do! often! but we are in full agreement on one thing; if the inner circle doesn't exist, there would be nothing but secrets, lies, and chaos. and none of us want that! i also find solace in the notion that my actions are always backed up with an assenting body, i never feel alone!

i was asked if i was interested in relocating to another position once. my first questions was this; "can i take my inner circle with me?" the answer was no, so my answer was no!

sure, i call the shot, I'm the last word, and the final say...but my inner circle knows what I'm gonna do long before i do it. i don't fear them or their opinions, in fact, i ask for them. it keeps me honest and it keeps my ego in check.

it's great to be on top, but it sucks to up there all alone!

why the hell would anyone wanna do that?

Here is what i know.

Politics is a gun, diplomacy is knowing when to pull the trigger.

Cooler heads always prevail.

Don't ever hate your enemies, it clouds your judgment...

also, whenever your trying to drive home a point and convince the masses that you might be right, leave your ego at the door. "i told you so" is an insult, and "if i were you" is a fantasy.

do your dark thinking in the light day....and always sleep on it!

don't ask anyone to do something that you are not willing or prepared to do yourself, and don't ever expect that just because you are a leader you have followers, respect is earned, it's not a given.......they need to believe and agree before they follow.

and don't ever resent the opinion of those smarter and wiser, they do exist. find them and use them. i never learned anything when i was speaking....in fact ..it was only during those quiet desperate moments alone with my own mistakes when i heard the voice of reason convincing me.

Everyone needs a think tank to swim in.........find yours and fill it fast.

you can't do it alone!

Until you prove your worth, convince me that you actually serve a purpose which i can witness, I'll bite, and I'll join the team.
