Good Directions

Hey Blog,

Good Directions
So as you know I have only lived in Myrtle Beach for the past few weeks. I have found their are several ways that people give directions. There is the anger direction giver that "doesn't understand" why it is that you don't know where your going and is mad at you for not understanding where your going.

"It's right next to the dunkin dounts!" he yells
"Which one?" I ask
" Fine!!! Down the road from the McDonald's... you idiot!!" he sighs

There is the over detailed direction giver that gives landmarks that are familar to them but no one else.

"So you'll take a turn at the place that use to be called the Old Red Barn," they continue
"Although it hasn't been there for a couple of years. " they state Sweetly
" Thanks, I'll just stab myself in the eye there then." I reply

Then there is Garmin. My sweet lady voice of GPS that tells me in kind computerize british accent turn by turn directions. Sometimes when its just her and I in the car, I confess my undying love. I picture us running towards each other in a wheat field...my hair blowing in the wind.... her power cord blowing in the wind.... sometimes I stroke her face... typing sexy restuarants that we can drive to. However, sometimes she betrays me, leads me down the wrong path, a little out of the way. Or does she do that on purpose, just so she can spend some extra time with me... I wonder.

Passing along Knowledge
One of our interns the other day, bless her little beating heart, actually called me for directions. I'm not sure why, since, like i've said in the past, I've only been here 2 weeks or so. Her on the other hand has been here 5 years. So I yelled at her and told her how to get there making up imaginary landmarks along the way. Ha Ha Ha!!!

love you blog,
JD

The Rap

Hey Blog,

So Rachel who is Danielle (my gf ) sister likes to bust out raps. I actually taught her how to play the guitar as well and I'm confident she'll be a big deal soon. Here is a rap she wrote for me

So your new radio name is jd sims.
You be swimmin like Micheal Phelps but you aint got no fins.
Yesterday I was cravin to dangle from the bunk bed.
Which reminds me of a line in a book I just read.It said i'm both happy and sad at the same time, i don't know how that could be.
But the thing i don't get is when a bald man has a beard, makes me ... Read More wonder if thats intentionally.
You're in Myrtle beach, and i'm still in Grand Rapids.
I never meant to preach, but i think it's time you follow Lenny Kratitz.
When you were twenty one, you had hair with a tender flop,
But now you don't look a day passed 18 with your tan and soap-op...era
Swag, like you just went to rehab,Because you got too many free movie pass...es.
You been swingin that golf club after watchin scrubs going to b dubs and soakin in suds while sippin on star bucks...?
You're the luckiest.
♥ MISSS YOUUUUUUUUU.

You can pick your own melody.

Dancing with the Stars
I tried to watch it, I didn't watch it, I can't watch it. I know it's the number one show on television but last time I tried to watch it I actually built a plastic room, had Danielle lock me in. Then she proceeded to hide all the knives and sharp pointy things I use to open the mail. We didn't want to have another "Real Housewives of Orange County" incident. I think it would be a better show if they also solved a crime in the middle of it, or maybe they were all crashed on a strange island that heals them. Then I might watch.

That's all for now blog, hope you enjoy the morning show... listen every morning 6am-10am or online at gator1079.com

love,
JD

Out of Hotel

Hey blog,

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday but I went to my personal trainer and we did "fingers" therefore I was to sore to type.

The Move
So I'm not living in the hotel anymore. Of course as I was moving out I dropping all my clothes in the parking garage (and yes thank you to that wonderful thoughtful couple that pointed out that "I dropped something" as all my stuff laid on the dirty floor of the garage but never offered any help.. thanks) and I forgot my cell phone charger that's still plugged into the wall behind the bed. I am now living with my boss Jimmy. He has a really nice place and offered. I wasn't sure what Ms. Manners would say in the situation, but since I hate being in a hotel for any duration of time I took him up on his offer. Of course when I took him up he was like "Really?" and then whispered to himself, "crap, I was just being nice." Oh he also has Showtime!!!

So I was thinking. It's called North and South Carolina. Its called North and South Dakota. Why don't they call it East Virigina? Ponder that and get back with me blog.

love you,
JD

Great First Week

Hey Blog,

Well the first week of recent employment felted really good. I have some great people I work with although I noticed that everybody has the same first letter of their name. It's kind of like that show on Oxygen or Bravo or something with the Amish lady who has 17 kids. Their is:
Jimmy, Johnny, JD, Jonathan, Jeramiah, Jason, Jugghead, and JBlue (the J is silent).

I am hiring
So this past week I had a ton of applicants for a position that I recently posted. As you know I was recently on the other side of that process. I remember I would think, "hey why didn't I get an email back?" Now I know why, because of the million or so applicates. So if you sent in an application, hang tight... I'll make an effort to get back to you. It is interesting though because I feel like a kid in a pet shop... I just want to take all of you home... or hire you... you get the analogy.

Go Cougs
I recently found out that my co-worker Blue had the same first job out of college. It was in Colfax, Wa. Look it up on google maps, it really exists. So we started talking and found out we share a lot!!

1) We both were born in the same hospital in Utica, New York
2) We both lost our virginity in the bathroom of a Wendy's while Stevie Wonder's Part Time Lover played over the loud speaker
3) We both have twins that went to war
4) We both love Jimmy (our boss)
5) We both use to be professional trampoline artists
6) We both were fired by Cirque du Soleil for not being "short" enough... stupid Jean-Paul Sartre
7) We both collect relics from the ancient Mayans
8) and were both amazing painters

and we both appreciate you blog. That's all for now.

This Place is Haunted

Hey Blog,

I know it's early but I didn't blog yseterday because I was on my way home from work yesterday and dangling over the side of a bridge was a school bus full of diabetic blind children. So sure enough my super human strength kicked in and I was able to pull the bus back to safety. Glad to say all the kids were safe but as you can imagine I was pooped out.

My radio station is haunted

So yesterday I had to switch out computers at my desk and sure enough nothing worked right after. It was one of those problems where everybody in the building was scratching their heads. I was trying to reconnect to the network but the entire time my computer was spinning in mid-air spewing pea soup all over my desk... crazy ghosts. Needless to say I never got on the network

Personal Trainer
He was nice like Bob, but I can't feel anything from my waist down... not sure if that is normal. However, I am 212 my goal is to get back to my birth weight 8 pounds 8 oz!!!

I love you blog,
Brian "JD" Sims

The Misunderstanding

Hey blog,

Misunderstanding

So today I had a really interesting misunderstanding where I wrote a note to a publication and the person on the other end of the publication made some very interesting assumptions. Although, this isn’t technically the note or the misunderstanding the following example will make my point:

Brian writes: I am on the air now from 6am-10am on Gator 107.9
Publication: Brian from Gator killed a monkey dressed as Hitler and he’s now on the air from 6am-10am

I guess that’s why you can’t trust the media…. Except me of course, you can trust me.

Fat Pills

Well I’m fat, so I’m going to start taking fat pills. You might be one of the skeptics that says “Brian, you can’t take fat pills, they don’t work, they are a hoax.” Well I say “ poppycock!!! “ I’ve taken fat pills before and then I wasn’t fat. Also, you know that every antibiotic is just a sugar pill that the Dr’s tell you well cure your Typhoid fever or your Hepatitis #6, and you got better. Well I believe the fat pills will make me un fat… plus I’m starting with a personal trainer tomorrow, I hope he’s nice like Bob.

Okay blog that’s all for now, some fun stuff on the show tomorrow so be sure to listen online at gator1079.com

Love you,
Brian “JD “ Sims

JD in the Morning

Hey Blog,

Sorry I haven't blogged in a few days, very hectic... plus the computer I'm using in the hotel doesn't have an "A" key.

JD in the Morning
So I am now better known as JD for my new job. I think it'll be fun, plus we aren't telling anybody what it stands for, but if you can guess I'll give you a hug next time I see you. I had several other names that didn't make the cut like:
Cooper
Duke
Dude
Marley
Ryan Seacrest
Paul Harvey (What to soon?)

Myrtle Beach
So this if the 14th state that I have lived in here's the list: New York, Alabama, Illinois, Texas, California, Washington, Idaho, Tennessee, Kentucky, Colorado, Michigan, Indiana, Florida and now South Carolina. Not bad, lots of pancake places and go-cart tracks... oh yeah and the beach!! Love it!!!

I miss Dani
So I miss Danielle a lot, although I now don't have to watch the bachelor finale. I think it would be funny if the bachelor and Deal or No Deal combined and you had to pick suitcases in order to find out whether or not you win the husband. I also think it would be funny if you could throw rocks at the bachelor.

Alright blog, that's all for now.. Say prayers for a little possum family somewhere in South Carolina, I killed there papa the other day I can just imagine the conversation

"Where is Papa?" asked the cute little one month old possum
"Papa is dead baby, papa is dead!!!" says mama possum as she is clinching here possum babies in her arms.

love you,
Brian
