..The first car I ever owned was a Mustang.....the first piece of music that I ever owned was ACDC Back in Black.....my first grade teacher's name was Mrs Disney (i kid you not).....the first time I hit a baseball I was 7......(i hit it off the tee).....my first girlfriend's name was Brenda....my first radio gig consisted of me doing the weather and psa announcements on a country/news formatted station....i was 15......we always remember our firsts........and I recall vividly the first live show I attended.....My dad took me to see Johnny Cash...I was ten....at the time I knew little or nothing about the man in black....but even then.....even as young and naive as I was....I remember watching him perform and thinking to myself.....there is something very special and incredible about all this....there is something borderline mystical about it.....being only ten, I really couldn't exaclty pinpoint what it was....but I definitely knew i was seeing something I would never under any circumstances ever forget......thank you as always for checking in.......Rick

...You know what I like about Charlie Sheen?.....it's not his tendencies to go on three day binges....nor is it his affiliations with porn stars....nor is it necessarily his lavish parties that he loves to host/partake in......(not that these are necessarily bad things it's just that there have been many before him who have done all that and there will be many after...).....it's his way of having no sense of apologetic mannerisms when attempting to answer for it....i mean most of the time when a Hollywood star goes off the deep end they end up in rehab...then they run i into the waiting arms of Oprah and pull the classic..."that wasn't the real me"...card........not Charlie....he goes quickly into the opposite direction......he basically hits it from the ..."yeah i'm bats^&t crazy and i live for a good party....but hey....I am who I am".....angle......and that's what you gotta love about him....I mean even if you don't like any of his work....even if you think he is a complete idiot....you have to admit the dude has some cajoneys.....thanks for checking in as always!!!

.....In just two days....unless something completely unpredictable occurs (which is not completely out of the question...you never know)..there will be a work stoppage in the National Football League.....seems rather harmless right now considering its only March and training camps at this poing aren't even close to being open...nor are we even close to opening day in the NFL....unfortunately, howver, it looks as though if it happens....it will be an extended stoppage that will not be over any time remotely soon....and the funny thing to me about all of this is simply that I have yet to totally figure out for sure what exactly both sides are in such a snit over.....don't get me wrong....it is obviously about money....it always is.....but at what point do both sides look themselves in the mirror and say.....HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?.......my beloved sport of baseball went through a lockout in 1994 that ended up costing us the World Series.....and I honestly do not think baseball has fully recovered since...let's just hope that come opening day for the NFL in 2011 that the main source of noise in stadiums acroos America isn't crickets........thanks for checking in as always!

...Have you ever seen a ghost?....or at least something you thought might be one?....I believe in em....I don't care what anyone says....there absolutely has to be something other than what we know right?.....I used to never buy into the concept at all...had to see it to believe it......and quite frankly I did recently have an experience that made me do a 180 on the subject.....freaked both me and Ozzie (my Boxer) out.........and let me tell you.....it takes something serious to get Ozzie freaked out.....anyways as a result I am definitely a believer.......are you? Thanks for stopping in Rick

....Mardi Gras came to this country in 1699 with French explorers....however it's festivities can be traced all the way back to the ancient Romans....the French explorer Iberville held the first organized celebration of Mardi Gras on our soil in 1699 at a location that was 60 miles south of where New Orleans is today.....he actually named the site...he labeled it "Point du Mardi Gras"....When New Orleans fell under Spanish rule the customs of Mardi Gras were banned....it wasn't until 1827 when New Orleans was under U.S. rule that they legalized the wearing of masks to celebrate Mardi Gras again....happy Fat Tuesday!!!!! thank you as always for checking in,,,,,,,,Rick

...They are on their way back!!!..maybe you already knew about this or have known for some time....but I just found out and I am stoked!!!....Beavis And Butthead make their triumphant return to MTV this year!!!...I fully realize they are juvenile...shallow.....incapable of complete sentences most of the time....borderline braind dead on occasion......and for lack of better terminology....stupid.....but I don't care.....I think they are also FUNNY AS H E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS!!!!!!!!....and i have sorely missed them......i think the beauty of what they bring to the table is simply the fact that they are so shallow/stupid..etc......when you watch them you don't have to overanalyze or over think things.....they are just funny...its that simple and that packaged.....they make you laugh....period....and I think MTV realizes what a commodity that type of simplicity is and therefore decided to bring back Beavis and Butthead!!!! I can not wait...huh huh....huh huh huh......Rick

....Welcome to Thursday, March 10th, 2011.....one more day closer to the return of HBO's Entourage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....rumor has it this will be the last season of Entourage.....which makes sense....they are on their 7th season or so.....I am a huge fan of the show and will miss it tremendously when it's gone....but I also understand it being time for HBO to move on...one thing that absolutely kills a great series like Entourage is keeping it around even one season longer than it should be......always go out on a high is what I always say!...Johnny Drama to me is one of the greatest tv characters ever created.....everything about what Kevin Dillon does with that character is nothing short of hysterical.....I mean who doesn't know someone who just takes themselves way too seriously?....and of course the fact that Entourage is oozing with hot...and i mean HOT chicks every week certainly doesnt harm it's case to be the best thirty min of tv!...any ways thank you for checking in as always.....and as Johnny Drama would say....."Victoryyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!"

One of the most important lessons in life I ever learned was taught to me by Todd Conklin....he was my IPC (Innerpersonal communications) instructor my freshman year of college.....I will never forget it....the first day of class he walked in without saying a word and wrote F U (only spelled out) in huge all caps on the chalk board.....he then turned around and pointed at me and said.....what do you think of that?.....I said something to the extent of it not being expected and rather rude to say the least......He then proceeded to ask several other students and got basically the same response....at which point he said.......these are just words....nothing more....it is we who apply the meaning to them and it is up to us to determine the depth of that meaning based upon how we individually perceive their delivery.......in other words....it's not the words themselves that determine their true meaning....it's how you say them......if you hold a puppy in your lap and softley pet him and whisper those same to words soothingly to him over and over he will respond positively....yet if you scream at the top of your lungs the words "you are the greatest dog alive!!!!" over and over he will respond in a negative and frightened way.........they are just words........I will never forget that day. Thank you as always for checking in! Rick
