Tardy

Oh my heck, I'm tardy with today's post! I usually update the blog at 10:30 and here it is past 1:00. One more tardy and I get detention. Cover for me if I'm late.

Hiding From The FBI

This is some free advice that you might want to store away in your mind, just in case you find yourself on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List. Do not drive around in a big, flashy red Cadillac SUV. It's probably best if you keep a low profile. And you should really keep the blingbling to a minimum. Big red Escalades aren't exactly known as a subdued mode of transportation. Cops never notice them. They also never notice temporary license plates that are not placed properly.

10:20 am "Bound For The Floor" Local H
1:20 pm "And She Was" Talking Heads

Oh yeah, Tool was amazing last night. Maynard looked good in his cowboy belt buckle and mohawk.

Labor Day Deep X Cut Weekend

X96 is doing another Deep X Cut Weekend for the Labor Day Weekend! We'll dig deep into new albums and old albums for songs other than the hit single. (Hint: you might hear "Something In The Way" by Nirvana instead of "Smells Like Teen Spirit.)

Don't ya think that sure sounds neat-o?

Tragedy

It is important that everybody reading this takes a moment and understands that suicide among teens and young adults is a serious subject and should be addressed as openly as possible. In the last week, the impact of suicide has reached me in an indirect way, and I am having to watch my younger brothers and their friends make their way through the aftermath.

Please get help if you need it. Talk to a professional. Call 1-800-SUICIDE to get help.
