This Summer, I decided to make a few changes, not anything major regarding my personal life or anything that people usually tend to overestimate or dwell into, but a  few minor things that I think could benefit my summer and the way I spend it. I made a list awhile ago, which consisted of the following bullets:

1. Complete the Summer school courses so I dont have to do them next year:   CHECK! 

2. Go to Peppersauce Cave because it is an exciting adventure: CHECK!

3. Gorge on Watermelon Eegee’s all July because it only lasts for a month: CHECK!

4. Go visit my future roommate Josh in San Diego for kicks: CHECK!

5. Fry an egg in the 110 degree heat because it is ridiculous and fun to do: CHECK!

6. Get a membership to LA Fitness and get bigger for next year: CHECK! (for the most part)

7. Find something for all to enjoy, www.thebadradio.com : CHECK!

8. Either skydive, camping or roadtrip: UPCOMING…

9. Get selected for an internship: CHECK!

10. Summer Romance:  WORKING PROGRESS

SO, for the most part, I have completed my summer list and have had enough time to hang out with all of my friends and have had a great time already. I got a new phone too, and compiled a bunch of interesting ringtones to accessorize it because I never had any before hand. My favorite one is the Indiana Jones ringtone which has so far annoyed some of my friends but I love it. I also got to watch most of The Office and even got to catch up on The Middle, which I had never heard about before but have realized that it is hilarious. I have not gotten to go anywhere extravagant or outrageous but I am having the time of my life right here in Tucson with my friends. We had a hilarious BBQ and with Bad Radio we have been able to provide a voice of hilarity for friends and family all over the place. Waking up at 11:00am is the best way to spend the summer even though I feel that sometimes that I am being unproductive. Whatever, it is summer, and during the year I will have to get up at 5 am everyday for PT anyway, so why not live it up. I am excited to go back and see my friends because I miss them and even though it will be school, it will be nice to be in college again. Ah I just realized that it wont be as awesome to go swimming because it will be so darn cold! Ah also there wont be watermelon Eegee’s! I better save some in my freezer so I can have some in college and share some with Liesl because she likes Eegee’s too!

Our Bad Radio show has come out with its 6th episode so anyone reading this should listen to it at the link above. We had another guest, Alex, who helped our show and made it even more hilarious than it usually is. Hopefully we can finish our first season before I go back to college. So far, SUMMER = SUCCESS  

Schedule for next year!

I started off this summer with a checklist of things to accomplish by the end of it when I would return to ERAU. This list was rather long and it was pretty much the same as this: 

I have finished much of this list and there is more to it, but as of the last two weeks, I have been able to complete number 7 because I wasn’t sure of  how do actually do it! My friends Brandon and Michael and I have started a radio show. That’s right, a radio show. We already have recorded three episodes and plan to make our fourth. It isn’t just any old radio show, we named it “Bad Radio” and had some kinks in the system at first but we fixed it. At first it was just the three of us huddled around Brandon’s computer and now we use his high-tech microphone, which picks up every sound that we make. Our first episode was just the three of us talking, and that is basically what the whole show is, but our conversations are hilarious and are often random, usually involving Michael bring up random segways that lead us into another subject. We start off the show by introducing ourselves and usually an anecdote by me, but now we are using funny lists, such as the top Least Attractive things that women do and guys notice, and then Top Best Ways to Kick the Bucket. We maintain our stance that if anybody is offended by our show or anything similar to that, than they should just go make their own radio show. That is my quote from the show, and I think that is applies to anyone who listens. Just for the record, I am going to list what I put down. The Top Most Unattractive Things that Women do and Guys Notice: 5) When women dye their hair so many colors that I cannot tell what it originally was. 4) When girls put their hand on their hip and snap their heads in a sassy rude gesture. 3) When girls take flashy pictures of themselves with their phones in their bathrooms and then post them on facebook. 2) When girls are unmotivated and lack the effort to keep themselves in shape. And the grand finale, 1) When girls say “I have to pee” to a guy and expect guys and others to take it and comment on it.

There is a taste of one of the topics we talk about, and so far we have three episodes that can be checked out at this website: http://badradio.tumblr.com/   It is EXTREMELY funny although I dont like the sound of my own voice over the radio, so please take a few minutes to listen. We are recording our fourth episode tomorrow with our first guest, our friend Stella Shin who came with me and Brian to the Angels and Airwaves concert. So far we have gained a surprisingly positive following and reviews so we hope that more people continue to listen.  I consider Bad Radio to be one of the greatest successes of my summer experiences already.
