Listen to how all these HUGE hit songs use the exact same four chords, in the same order!

I don't normally watch Dancing With the Stars, but I like it. It's sexy. The dancers look great. They have a live band. They make the audience dress up. And tonight, they had Hanson as special guests! Two thoughts: Isaac isn't ugly anymore and "Mmm Bop" is still a great song.

If you claim you don't like their song, "Mmm Bop", I don't believe you. That song is impossible not to like. Of course it's cool to say you don't like it, but hey, you're not trying to impress anyone anymore, so you can admit to stuff that you wouldn't admit to back in 1997.

I've always loved this song. I also like Gordon Lightfoot, Duran Duran, and I think Pokemon is a kick-****** strategy game. You ever play it for real? It's cool! I still laugh at Napolean Dynamite and frequently use the line, "Is there some sort of vest I can wear?" I buy magic tricks off the internet. I think I'm cool when I win at trivia at Buffalo Wild Wings. Totally nerdy stuff, and I could go on and on. All done trying to impress anyone and it feels great!

So I found the original video on Youtube. It's full of delicious, molten awesomeness. It's okay to admit it.

This girl is amazing. Check her out!

Don't ask me HOW I found this picture online of a young Donny Osmond, but could it be that his hair was an influence for Justin Bieber's hairstyle?

I have two dogs, Josie the labradoodle, and Rex the Collie. They love each other, for the most part, but are insanely jealous when one gets attention and the other doesn't.

And this is kind of funny...I found pictures of Allison when she was a baby on a friend's Facebook page. Awwwww! (She's 19 now) I look a little younger then too!

Love the 80's hair! No, not on Allison! The woman holding her! ; )

This is posted on youtube. Check it out, it's really short.

It's obviously meant to show me being a real prick off the air. I don't know why they bothered, because I'm actually a real prick ON the air! Hey-Yo!

I love calling out people who used to work at KDWB who now work at other stations for the crap they pull. My phone rang about about 10:30 a few weeks ago and I figured since it was late, it must be important. This deejay from another radio station was doing a prank call about the Mormon's raising money. At first I believed it and said, "Do you realize what time it is?" And when I realized it was a prank, I responded like anyone would. I even said, "Come on, my kid is sleeping." Of course they cut that out. And you bet I swore at them. They called me at home at 10:30pm and woke up my kid.

How do I know it was a former KDWB deejay who now works at another station? Uh, well, they have a KDWB jingle and they have equipment to record phone calls. Does the average 13 year old prank caller have that? No.

So why do I bother to put this online? Not to humiliate the deejays at the other station necessarily, but to point out something that I've always said. There is no shortcut to success. There's no tricky way to screw other people that makes yourself successful. As I said in my speech to Brown College last fall, "There's no shortcut to success. It's pretty much all hard work and timing. And the 25 year old who is looking for that shortcut is often still looking for it at the age of 50."

Take a look. It's between 6:42 and 7:00

I truly believe this. Don't screw yourself out of success. I'd even say it to the deejays at the other radio station. If they'd work harder at making their station better instead of trying to annoy their competition, they might get somewhere. By the way, I'm not talking about KS95 or 93X. I love those guys! I want nothing but the best for everyone. But remember, you have to work at your craft, rather than try to find that non-existant shortcut.

Carson is 10 and brought home some of his artwork from school yesterday. It's so cute! This is a little sculpture of himself.

It reminded me of artwork Allison made when she was the same age. Here's her rendition of herself.

Making pottery must be a 4th grade thing because it reminded me of the crap I made when I was a kid. I remember I gave the one in my hand to my mom for a Christmas present. I'm sure she was thrilled! "Here you go, Mom. It's a piece of ******!" LOL!

And finally, just for Lena, a picture of my cat, Willy eye-balling the bird-feeder.

OH, and a video from DJ Pauly D from Jersey Shore, and Steve-O from KDWB when he was 10. Check it out.
