Cruisin through July

So, I am excited to see August, some big dates are coming up such as school starting back up and some events for Big Country... I just realized that July went by so fast. I just remember June and pieces of July, by the way, Marquette, where was the warm summer? That's probably why it went by so fast, the temperature never got sweltering, but I can't complain about that!

Last week I got to interview CJ the day after the show, it was a good interview (I know I say all the interviews are good ones... but still!), especially after the intense episode that they aired the night before. I was as 'pleased' as one can be that they talked about something so serious that I think needs more awareness. Not just for the person that may be going through it and needs the help, but for the people that know someone going through it. That episode definitely showed "How NOT to react"! But realize that we only see what the editing wants us to see so they can manipulate emotion through what they show, still doesn't hide what happens but they only aired the most extreme of things.

Unfortunately the interview was too big for twaud.io to handle but here are the links:

I almost forgot about last night's episode but I was happy to see that Jonna was finally getting an episode that featured her. I definitely have some questions ready to ask her about the show last night. But more interesting is Joey, almost getting fired and next week doesn't look like it's going to get any better for him.

Oh, and I enjoy Big Brother 11 for sure! I'm hoping Jessie makes it far if not win! Well, See yah later July, thanks for reading.

My Mind is on Food...

Hey, so this week I interviewed Jasmine, I found out more into what her real feelings are for Ayiiia. I also found out more about her job with student city. Now that I've mentioned Student City, I found the "Boss Lady's" blogs about each episode... I wanted to see what she had to say about seeing them 'break' the rules while working with Student City. Unfortunately there should be a "Spoiler Alert" on the website cause she gives too much away, even when she thinks she is being subtle. That being said, if you want to check it out, go for it: Chritina's Blog. As for next week, I am going to try to get CJ, it looks like Ayiiia may be getting into a fight with him!
So Real World aside, I was watching the Travel Channel today, and let me tell you, they know when to put food on that channel! I hadn't eaten yet, and they showed "Voddoo Doghnuts" They looked amazing, so I had to find doghnuts in Marquette, Hudson's Bakery had a good variety... though the half-a-dozen deal was a bit much to eat! While my mind is on food, some of my relatives were in town yesterday for brunch... when it comes to buffet bars... Big Boy is where its at. It was funny though, they had a guy who was in charge of keeping it clean, so I accidentally dropped a piece of food on the counter, the guy swooped it up a second later, he was quick! But I must have been messier than the average plate filler, cause the dude was following me until I got back to my table, lol. Well, that just about wraps it up for me, thanks for reading!

Real World Bronnie

So yesterday I got to interview Bronne, I know I was supposed to interview Derek but he needed to reschedule, so I got his best friend in the house instead! Bronne was just as funny in the interview as he is on the show. Also, the MTV Real World Dailies are hilarious, but not just the ones that Bronnie is in. Its that bonus stuff that you wish was in the show but just doesnt fit into the storyline. Here is the link to check out the extended interview: http://twaud.io/5R

Also, as you can see I changed the layout of the page, if you are an experienced blogger, let me know how to country-fiy this page up, some layout tips if you will. Next week I will be interviewing another Real World Housemate, not sure who it will be yet, I'm leaning towards Jasmine, perhaps Emilee, we'll see!

Also, if there are any questions that you have been dying to know, comment and I will try to get you your answers, who knows, I may even know the answer already. Thanks for reading!

You checked out www.wjpd.com and I thank you!

So, I know it's been a while since I've made an attempt to blog. I was on vacation to Milwaukee... I know, some destination right? Well that's where I'm from, pre-NMU. I went to Summerfest and saw some bands play. Saw the family and the extended family, that was cool cause I see them maybe once every 3 to 4 months. But I am definitely happy to be back in Marquette, and getting back into my regular routine.


Aside from being on the air, I do a number of other things for Big Country, one of which is working on the website... http://www.wjpd.com/ you should go there after you read my blog and check it out. The cool thing is that I checked the stats for the site and apparently as of June (which is surprising, because I started blogging in June) out of the Top 5 ways people hear about the website, listed at number 5 is my blog. So like my first blog, here is a little more shameless promoting, tell your friends to check this blog out, and then they can get to the site from here! Then stumbleupon this and vote it up! Thanks to you, we were able to push Live out of the top 5... help me get to the top 3 and push Yahoo and Google down (though Big Country and myself appreciate all the visitors from where ever they find http://www.wjpd.com/ from). Okay thats that speel.


Have you been catching Real World? I have and let me tell you, the season is pulling me in each week, which is great! I'm supposed to be interviewing Derek sometime this week, and I will post a link to the extended interview when it is uploaded... most likely to twaudio (which is an awesome word to say, pause a second and just say "TWAUDIO" out loud, it's okay, I'll wait...).


Well, I think this will wrap up this post, thanks for checking out the blog and the website. If you live within the reach of Big Country 92.3 WJPD flip on the radio or channel 8 (I think) on Sunday nights from 7-Midnight (Eastern Time) and you can hear me, not just read me... that sounded weird, but I'm not going to delete it!
