It Could Be Worse

Monday's are always rough...but today was exceptionally so!

When the alarm sounded at 3 a.m. I drug myself to the bathroom, showered, got dressed, and then proceeded to smear toothpaste all over a new shirt! After a quick change it was downstairs where I spilled Crystal Light all over the kitchen floor. Then, thinking it could get no worse, I got to work and lost my cell phone.

Now if you know me at all...then you know that I can not function without my cell phone! I have to have it on my person, or within arms reach, at all times. Yes, I know it's odd...but I hate feeling out of touch.

So imagine my panic when I walked into the FRANK studio at 5 a.m. and realized my BlackBerry wasn't in my pocket...or in my car. I frantically checked my office TWICE...and finally on the third attempt...found it on the floor under my desk! Whew...disaster diverted!

Things finally calmed down and I was able to get through the show without further incident. By 9:15 I was thinking that the Monday Curse had to be behind me...little did I know that fate had another plan.

As I walked out of the building, toward my car...I was bombed by a kamikaze seagull!

Luckily my reflexes were sharp enough to avoid his payload, and I ducked inside the car just as it splattered all over the drivers side door and windshield!

I quickly rolled down my window and shouted, "HA! Missed me!"

People on the sidewalk stopped and looked at me as if I'd lost my mind. And ya know what? I couldn't care less what they had to say...because I know the day could have gotten a whole lot worse if I had been a little slower or that gull had better aim!

Score one for me!

I Want My MTV

Looking at those old pictures of myself from the 80's has stirred up some sort of emotions...all of a sudden I'm reliving the glory days!

As Heidi and I sat around the office we were talking about how cool it used to be to come home after school, throw down the chemistry book, and turn on MTV.

I still remember the first video I ever saw on MTV...I Ran by Flock of Seagulls.




And who could forget those great MTV promo's?





I instantly fell in love with Nina Blackwood, MTV's rocker VJ...and what guy worth his parachute pants didn't think Martha Quinn was just about the cutest girl in the world? Alan Hunter rocked a mullet almost as good as mine, JJ Jackson was just cool, and all the girls I knew gushed over Mark Goodman.

MTV used to really be Music Television...and even though times have changed we're lucky to have this website: http://www.mtvmusic.com/.

Go ahead...put on your leg warmers or Def Leppard concert shirt with the sleeves cut off, turn up your computer and rock out. Just don't let your kids see you!
