My Humble Beginnings

The Friday Night Dance Jam

That my friends was the show that got me started here at Spirit FM. Back in 2002 or so, Olivia the host of Real Life Radio, asked me to come down and do a live Dance/Hip-Hop mix show with her. We did the mix show here at Spirit FM for 6 years. The only reason we stopped was because it was to much for me to do both The Big Big House Morning Show, Production for Spirit FM and the Friday Night Mix Show. But here is a picture of one of our first Friday nights!

That was Carlos, aka DJ Phokus seven years ago! (Side Note: That was one of my favorite shirts! Don't ask me why the bandanna. I don't know, it was a phase or something)

Shortly after I began the Friday Night Show I became an official Intern here at Spirit FM. Looking back, it's funny how God moves people into our lives and situations into our lives to complete His plan in us. Olivia, brought me in to Spirit FM. Between her and Bill Carl they trained me up. And if not for God, orchestrating it all and my obedience to His will in my life who knows where I would be. God is so good.

So Funny

Video File

Laughter: noun
(According to http://www.m-w.com/)

1: a sound of or as if of laughing
2: a cause of merriment

I love to laugh, it's the best thing. It's the Windex of life. It cures any bad mood, any foul feeling and can brighten any dull day. This made me belly laugh. Bear in mind, I'm the guy who loves AFV and will crack up uncontrollably when some guy trying to teach his 5 year old how to golf gets popped in the no-no's.

Enjoy a little laughter!

A Different Approach

Pro-Life

I am posting this video because it is breathtaking. The video is different from what you may be used to, but the message is powerful and the meaning is clear. It's awesome to see all the different vessels God can use to spread his message.

I don't know if the artist Flipsyde is a Christian or where his moral compass points, but I do know this. God can use anyone and anything to spread his message. The pro-life movement is something we as Christians should support and to see this guy create a video to reach a new generation, it's great. The video may not be your thing, but it can reach a generation of people in a way most others may not.

Vota

The Kids...

The Christian rock band Vota is using dirty tactics to get radio stations across the country to play their new single "Hard to Believe". Who could tell these adorable kids no? I can't!



That's cheating! And very cute. For more info on Vota check out: www.votaband.com

Super Stuff

Commercials and What-Not's

This years batch of super ads left me wanting more. What happened to that classic commercial that everyone talked about the next morning. Budweiser, self proclaimed "King of Beers" and one time "King of the Superbowl Ads" with their talking Frogs, Lizards and Whazup Guys is now nothing more than just another purveyor of 30 second fluff. Pepsi, tried to reclaim some of their Superbowl glory with this ad:



Made me laugh out loud, but still somewhat forgettable. I love the limo guy, by the way. I guess I just remember the old Pepsi vs Coke ads, with the Pepsi truck driver and the Coke truck driver. Those were clever and funny ads that stuck with you. The new "King of the Superbowl Commercial" has to be E-Trade.



Funny, cute and clever. A good commercial with staying power. One of the few this year. Gone may be the days of commercial after commercial that made me laugh out loud. Too bad. Commercials and the Superbowl. Maybe the only television event that successfully combines the two.
