in a few hours i will be boarding a plane heading to madrid. yes i have been to madrid before, but never for this reason. when i reach madrid, i will go ahead and board yet another plane just hours after landing and will then be heading towards Athens. And just a few hours after that I will be boarding yet another plane, yes another plane, towards the island of Limnos.

if you recall back in january, i was in cape town south africa and my sister had a baby. well just six months later we are all together again and heading to greece, the island of Limnos to baptize that child. Anastasia Danae will be baptized, I will be on holiday for the second or third time this year and I cannot be more excited about it!

of course it means laying in the sun on a beautiful beach. yes it means being with family and in the country your ancestors are from. it’s all of that and more! it’s all of that PLUS! i get to blog again! Do you remember? I use to blog quite often when i was in cape town at the beginning of the year. in fact, this whole blog, helloBos.com, was created while i was in cape town.

so does this mean i will be blogging everyday…probably not. but it does mean that i will have so much to say AND i will have so many photos to share, so you should probably keep up with me. 

i am not quite sure what the internet situation will be for me, but i know this much. where there is iPhone, there is helloBos.

cheers & all the best!

so i’ve been bored with the design of hellobos. as usual i tend to want to make modifications or complete redesigns every couple of weeks. i’m surprised this one has lasted so long. anyway, i’m trying to think of how i will go about this site when i’m away in greece.

oh you didn’t hear? well in about six days i’ll be traveling to the homeland. my niece is being baptized and i’m becoming a citizen. pretty exciting stuff eh?

so of course there is going to be lots of time to take photos and upload them to tumblr via my new iPhone. so what is the best way to approach this? the current layout doesn’t really support or provide best viewing for multiple photos at a time. nor does it create a good layout for thumbnails. i’m trying to think of a better way.

it’ll come to me.

So I’ve just finished my first assignment for my current set of online courses. The first five weeks I will be taking Project Management, followed by Chemistry. Yes, it all sounds too exciting I know. Anyway, if you remember last February when I took my online course, the first assignment dealt with introducing yourself and whatnot and there was this one entry that really made me laugh. I wrote all about it, follow that link to look back.

This time around, same assignment. I was just telling Veronica on the phone how I wish I would have saved my previous assignment cause it would’ve saved me some time. 

So nothing really going on except that I will have plenty of time to blog (which probably means I won’t blog very much), since I have my online courses. Again, I will be traveling to Greece in August, so there should be some mobile travel blogs coming your way. Speaking of which, hopefully I will be able to blog via the new iPhone 3G that I bought. I know that typePad has an application, but I hope that Tumblr is working on one as well. Anyone know? That’d be good.

It was quite the wait outside of the Apple Store in Old Orchard shopping mall. Arriving at around noon and seeing a sea of people all waiting in a winding line to purchase the next version of Apple’s latest craze product, the iPhone. I took one look and turned away. Thought to myself that maybe I’d have better luck if I went to an AT&T wireless store.

So back in my car I used my original iPhone to search for an AT&T dealer. Realizing that there weren’t any really close stores, I decided to drive back towards my house and visit the local AT&T store. I arrived and was excited to see there was NO LINE! Fantastic, I’d be in and out in 20 minutes. And I was. I signed in, looked around, played with the display models and then about 20 minutes later I heard one of the reps tell another customer that they were sold out. Before I go off on a rant and express my anger, I’ll just say this. AT&T, you could have at least put up a sign or told customers, upon arrival, that you were already sold out. That’s all.

Back in my car now, I decide to look up more AT&T wireless stores, because there is no way in hell that I’ll wait in that line at the Apple Store. So I find another one in the neighboring suburb and decide to drive out there. Apparently the store had closed because I drove all around the area and found nothing! Ok, so let’s just go to another AT&T store. I locate one on my iPhone and start heading over there. Again, I arrive and cannot find it! So I decide to call and find out that now it’s a Verizon store. Great.

Alright, now I’ve got a decision to make. I’m near the shopping mall again where I originally started, but I’m also near the house. I’m about at the half way point. It’s around 2:50pm, I’ve had no luck for the past 3 hours. Off to the Apple store!

I arrive at the line around 3:30pm. It’s hot, the sun is beaming right on me and I look behind me to see…nobody. I was last in line. There had to be at least 200 people in front of me and they were letting about 5-10 people into the store every 45 minutes. This was going to be a long day. The reason for the limited amount of people being allowed in the store was because the Apple/AT&T activation process had been stalled or crashed, or who the heck knows!

So there I am in line. The guys in front of me have already created a bond of some sort and are talking Apple/iPhone, you get the idea. It was geek day. I loved it. Of course I had to chime in and become part of the conversation because after about 5 minutes I realized if I don’t start talking this wait is going to be even longer! We continue through the line and eventually, maybe an hour and half into it, I decide I need to eat something/drink something. Apple employees were nice enough to hand out muffins, water and lemonade throughout the day, but that wasn’t cutting it with this heat. Now, because of the alliance that I have created with the people around me, I decided they probably would save my spot if I went to get something to eat right quick. But to entice them, I offered them water.

Sure enough, I left the line, got a chicken salad sandwich, used the toilet and had a smoke. It was lovely. I wasn’t confined to the line. Anyway, I picked up some waters, went back to the line and was astonished to see the progress they made in the line! They had covered quite the ground while I was away. But there was still a lot of line/waiting left.

To move things forward, we reached the inside of the store about 4 hours into the wait. We finally made it and were sitting inside the Apple store on chairs that any other day would have been uncomfortable. But because of the 4 hours on my feet, these chairs were a god send! Now begins the waiting game. I felt like I was waiting for a prostitute in the red light district because one by one, an Apple employee would walk up to the row of seats, take the next person and “service” them. By service I mean they would ask which iPhone 3G they wanted, any accessories and they would activate their phones. Nothing sexual or dirty. 

My time had come. I was chosen. I knew exactly what I wanted and when the Apple store employee asked, I said, “I’ll take a pair of headphones!” He looked confused and asked, “um is that all? Are you serious?” Of course I was joking but I wanted to see the look on his face, I was just too excited at this point so I had to make a joke! Very nice! Anyway, I wanted to seem like a smart shopper so I asked a few questions. Questions I already knew the answers to. But regardless I asked questions. So I finally told him exactly what I wanted, he went to the back and got it for me. I got my new phone number. Activated my new iPhone 3G and walked over to the Barnes & Nobles where I sank into one of their chairs and uploaded all my data off my laptop to the new iPhone 3G!

It was now 9:40pm. I had my phone. The iPhone 3G was set up and ready to go and so was I. Back home to download from the new App store and play around with my new gadget!

so much to say, where to begin?

the reason why i stalled is because i felt like i missed the perfect opportunity for the punch line; it’s all about timing you know. like a good joke. but sure, i’ve been busy, i’ve done things worthy of being ‘blogged’. but again, i feel like those items have passed their time to get proper recognition.

a few weeks ago I drove to rochester, new york. that’s upstate and about a 10 hour drive from chicago. of course i was visiting veronica. from rochester, we drove up to lake placid in the adirondacks to camp out for a bit. it was stunning. we had a very secluded camp site with a lean-to and a running river all to ourselves. it was a dream camp site if you ask me. we grilled, we slept, we did everything out in this forest. we focused on our three meals a day because that took up so much time and effort. we had to start the fire, cook the food, eat and then clean the dishes. one day instead of taking our food back up to the car, we left it out and came back to see that some little critter(s) had investigated the cookies, apples and marshmellows. bastards. another morning i felt as if i had seen a pretty good sized bear print on our lean to and then again in the ground. Veronica, however, still to this day will try to convince you that it was her sandle that made that print. hmmmm…

from lake placid we drove to boston. a city which doesn’t live up to it’s name. BOSton. the city of Boston is useless…if you have no idea where you’re going or what to do. there are no street signs, there is no structure to their city layout, it just sucks trying to get around. there are some nice attractions to visit and if you do know what you’re doing or you’re with people who have something to do, it’s a good time. otherwise, you can live without it. in fact if you find yourself in boston and just don’t know what to do or how to get somewhere, just find one of those buses that takes you to new york city for like $15 and trust me, the 3 hour drive will be totally worth it. i don’t have much else to say about boston, except that it’s worthless if you dont know what you’re doing and it’s a huge college town…let me go on about that for one a little bit more. everywhere you turn there seems to be another university or college that takes up space and sounds like it is the best out there. and for a second you feel a little bit in awe because you’re near harvard or berklee but then you look around closer and you see that there isn’t anything much more special about these campuses or students and then you look even closer at the situation and realize, “shit, everyone here is wearing a fucking boston red sox shirt/hat.” and then my friend you realize that boston is like a wriglleyville to the extreme. (i’m sorry but thinking of an entire city being like the worst part of chicago makes me want to puke a little bit.) boston is very much a big college “city” where everyone wears red sox merchandise. sure it’s pride in your team that’s doing real well, but there was a scenario where i heard red sox fans talking about how great they were for having the oldest stadium in the league! are you fucking kidding me here!? please Boston, i walked by fenway, i’ve seen it on tv, i’m sure it doesn’t get much better and it wasn’t that impressive. to be quite honest it looked like it should be a warehouse from the outside and there wasn’t a chance in hell i was going to pay $350 to sit in the “green monster” or $100 for standing room only. I don’t give to shits about you having the oldest stadium in the majors. your stadium still looks like shit and the fans have become cunkees. yes a mix of cubs and yankee fans. you finally got a taste of winning so you’re real high brow and yet you still whine about your “historic” field. blah blah blah. i’m done with you. and to think i almost liked the red sox for a little.

i digress…from boston we went to a real city. a city for all other citys, with the exception of chicago, to admire and bow down to…NEW YORK CITY! such a pleasure to be in a city where driving makes sense and you can walk to or take public transport to any destination you want to. new york, i really, really like you. the vibe, the people, the food, the softball games in central park on a monday afternoon, the wonderful hotel room, were all such a pleasure. i was in new york city for a day, but could write about it for a week. there is and was so much going on that your mind was constantly working. and that may sound exhausting, but then you have this magical wonder of central park. a jungle within a jungle and you’re able to escape for it all. veronica and i enjoyed a double header softball game and found ourselves laughing, cheering and enjoying this onslaught of characters, typical new yorkers, i mean stereotypical new yorkers!, playing softball and it might have been the greatest hour and a half of my life. i don’t think i’ve seen anything more real or honest than this team playing softball in central park new york city on a monday afternoon. this image that i had always envisioned in my head, that i have seen in tv and movies was a reality right before my eyes. one day i’ll post video of it. and then you’ll get to see.

so anyway, the punchline was really missed with my last few weeks and i’ve fallen a bit behind. but i do hope you enjoyed this. i’ll do my best to keep you up to date. so long for now.

so I know a bunch of you heard that I was in the hospital from Wednesday evening to Friday evening. I’ll give you a quick run down as to the events that took place.

Wednesday, 5:30am - Woken up by painful cramps that felt like twenty people were punching me in the stomach and twisting and turning my abdoman. This lasted easily for about 2 1/2 hours. I was unable to stay in a single position and was tossing and turning. At one point, it probably looked like I was getting an exorcism. I thought it was constipation though, so I put ice on my stomach which calms me down a bit and drink lots of tea. This eventually allows me to fall asleep for a couple hours.

Wednesday 11:00am - I wake up from a nap to the same pains, just a bit less sever and very localized in my lower right abdomen. I still think it’s constipation but I still have no urge to go poop.

Wednesday 1:00pm - My sister comes over for lunch, and tells me that I should probably go to the doctor cause it’s probably my appendix. I call the doctor and his offices are closed on Wednesday so I get an answering service. I decide that If it is my appendix I want to be sure, so I need to rule out constipation. I call up Las Asadas and order a steak burrito and one horchata.  

Wednesday 2:30pm - The burrito was delicious. But I still had no urge to go poop. Now I’m late for my 3:00 class, but I’ve already ruled out going to school for the day. Time to kill some time. The burrito was quite filling and the pain was still there, better take a nap. 

Wednesday 6:30pm - I wake up from my nap, the pain still there. I decide that I should probably play some MLB The Show 08 for a couple hours before I go to the ER. At this point, I’ve made my mind up and will be going to the ER. But I want to avoid having to sit around for a while, so the later I go, the less I’ll have to wait. And plus, the longer I wait around there, the greater my chances are of getting something. Oh and I’m still not totally convinced that it’s my appendix. I feel like they’re going to look at me and say that I’ve just got really bad gas.

Wednesday 10:00pm - I just rocked the house in MLB The Show, now it’s time to get into my car and drive to the ER. I told my parents I didn’t want them to accompany me. So I drove myself. Very uncomfortable drive to say the least. I lit a cigarette and thought that it probably wasn’t a good idea to smoke right before going into the hospital so the cig was short lived. I arrived there a good ten minutes later cause I took the long route. Checked myself in, told the receptionist about my traveling girlfriend. There are not many people in the ER, but of course there’s a few there and of course there is a young kid that is crying his lungs out for some odd reason. I put my headphones into my iPhone and just kinda daze out while watching the late night lineup on WGN which consists of Friends, Will & Grace, some Waynes brother show and some other crap. It was a long 2 hour wait. 

Thursday 12:00am - I finally get called in to get check up on. They ask my on a scale of 1 - 10 what my pain is, I say it’s at about 6 but earlier in the day it was around 12. They take my blood, and my blood pressure and my temperature and send me out to the waiting room. Now it’s just me and another couple. Some time passes and now it’s just me, and my IV. 

Thursday 1:00am -  Now I’ve got my own room in the ER. It’s a nice spacious room. I’m alone, there’s nobody around. The ER is a bit quite for the night. I get into my gown, use the toilet a few times, still I’m in pain. I get checked out by 4 or 5 different doctors, all of them ask me the same questions, and to each i give the same answers. At one point, I think the 3rd or 4th doctor comes in, his name is Kumar. I thought this was a joke, like I was getting punk’d, but he was legit…oh boy was he legit. Anyway, I was glad to see Kumar not come back that night. And each time he walked by I looked the other way. Let’s just say that Kumar got to know me a little better than most people do.  

Thursday 1:30am - 3:00am - A nurse came in and gave me three cups of stuff to drink that will “make my guts glow” for the cat scan that i’ll be having later on. I need to drink one every half hour. They tasted pretty good, I asked what they added for flavor, she said Crystal Light. 

Thursday 3:00am - An angle graced me and decided to offer me something for my pain. Morphine. I asked her if I could listen to my headphones while I lay down, she said if you have Comfortably Numb you should probably play it. I had it, so I played it. I was floating. And for the first time in my life, I realized what Pink Floyd was for, and when to play them. 

Thursday 4:30am - I go in for my cat scans. This machine is huge and I felt like it was going to eat me up. Thankfully not. This scan was going to determine if this entire process was cause i was constipated or if i had to have my appendix taken out. 

Thursday 6:30am - After my scan I took a quick nap. When I woke up my mom was there sitting next to me. For some reason I got real angry. I just didn’t want her to be there, to bother the doctors to ask the wrong questions, etc… Just as I wake up I’m told that I will be going under cause I have appendicitis. It was confirmed. The pain that I had felt over 24 hours ago was definitely cause something in my body was awfully wrong. 

Thursday 7:30am -  I meet with the surgeon. He tells me about the procedure. And to be ready in about 2 hours. Alright. I’ll be here doc. Now I’m nervous. You don’t really hear about people not coming out of the anesthetic, but when you do hear it, you always think to yourself, shit I hope that never happens to me. So that was what was running through my head. How embarrassing would that be. Now my sister has come by the hospital and it’s just a waiting game until they wheel me out to the Operating Room Waiting Room. 

Thursday 9:30am - I am carted out to the OR Waiting Room. This is my final stop before being knocked out and operated on. There was no turning back. 

Thursday 10:32am - The anesthesiologist, Dr. Kim, comes by and speaks with me. I was already sleeping waiting for him so he had to wake me and have me sign papers saying that it was ok to put me back to sleep. I signed away, told me sister and mom I loved them and if anything happened to me let those close to me know that i love them as well. There were some specific things I said to them, i said a prayer and then I was carted off to the Operating Room. Now for those who have never been through this, the only way to describe it is everything moves kind of in slow motion. Everything is as you’d expect it to be, blue and sterile and cold. There is nothing inviting about this area. So I pushed to these doors that look like a set of butchery doors and i can see through the windows all these instruments and the lights and these people wearing all green and i can’t see their faces. I was pretty sure this was it. This was the last of the Bos. There was no way I was making it out of this. This room looked too official. It get’s worse. They open the doors and put my bed next to this table. Literally a table and they kind of life and roll me onto it. There’s hardly room to move so they have to strap my in with this big leather belt across my waist. My arms get tied down to the sides and then the green people start walking over to me.  I’m shivering and shaking and thinking I wish I had more time. Scared for my life and they plug me into the IV. The surgeon that I had met with early walks over to me and says, “Haralambos, it’s time to fall asleep”. Within a matter of seconds I cannot remember anything else that happened after that. 

Thursday 2:00pm - I guess the surgery lasted about 2 1/2 hours. There was a complication because my appendix was upside down. I don’t know how that happened but thats what I was told. All I can remember now is opening my eyes and being in this long line of people that had also just woken up. I couldn’t speak, I could barely move. I was in such pain, I didn’t know what was going on. I was just confused. A nurse came by and fed me ice chips then walked away. I was silent and just looking around, my eyes half open not realizing what was going on, where i was. Another nurse walked up to me and fed me some more ice chips and told me that I just had surgery and that it went well and soon I’d be taken up to my room. A few minutes passed and I was kind of getting a grip on things but i was in no way fully functional. All I knew is I wanted more ice chips cause my mouth hurt like a son of a bitch. Apparently they put a tube down my throat to help me breath. Oh and my penis was hurting cause there was a catheter in it too. They did all this while I was knocked out, including removing it all from my body. Anyway, my penis and mouth were sore and I wanted ice chips badly. So with whatever energy I had I yelled out “ICE CHIPS” to whoever was listening. It probably sounded like there was a sock in my mouth and my tongue was hanging out, so I probably sounded like a retarded but to me I sounded like King Leonidas screaming “THIS IS SPARTA!” in the movie 300. So anyway, I got more ice chips and then I didn’t know what was going on or how long I was there for, but before I knew it, I was being taken up to my room. And All of a sudden I hear this familiar voice. It was my childhood friend Steve Wagner’s mom. I hear her voice, I see her with my half closed eyes and it was the weirdest things that could’ve happened. I mean sure there were more weird things but what are the chances right?  

So I guess the rest is history. I was in the hospital until Friday afternoon when I finally got discharged. The rest of the story isn’t as entertaining as most if involved laying in bed, doing breathing exercises, not being able to sleep, and smelling like a goat.  

Thank you to everyone who called, emailed, messaged, visited, sent flowers, prayed or even just thought about me during this time. There was one email saying that this was a blog stunt, and it wasn’t but it sure as hell made for one hell of a blog if you ask me. I hope you enjoyed reading this. And I hope to God that I never have to experience something like this again.

Cheers,

Bos 

this letter was written by Yevgeny Mikhailov in response to the actions taken upon myself and Yev during the days of our radio show on WMTH 90.5FM. Enjoy this read… 

Dear WMTH Radio Executives,

      Since December 4, 2000, there have been several controversial topics concerning the content of the “BOB and YEV Show” which was supposed to air from 4:00-5:00 on WMTH 90.5. As we, Bob and Yev, have found out in the last couple of days, the content of the show has been discussed a few times in order to determine what will be the punishment, if any, or future of the show and the broadcasters. It has come to my attention that there are three main arguments that are being brought up against the show and Bobby and Yevgeny. I will first state each argument and then address each. The first point made by WMTH officials and executives is the use of foul language on our show. The second argument presented is that both Bob and Yev failed to listen to the supervisor present and disregarded the supervisor’s command or commands. The final point being made against us deals with the show’s content and the â€œTop Ten Most Attractive Females of the 2003 Class.” Now that you know the three points being addressed, proceed on to find out the truth about each one.

      First off, one of the major points being addressed here is the use of foul language. Upon reviewing the tape several times, which I have enclosed here, I have heard no foul language at all DURING the duration of the show. We have been accused of saying the words “fuck” and “shit” on the air and this is false. I will admit to us saying the word “fuck” while being in the radio room, during which we thought that we were not on the air. Listen very closely at the beginning of the tape, and you will actually hear Bob say the f-word, I am not denying this. But listen even closer even before that and you will hear Bobby say, “We’re not even on.” Executives, this has been our third show only and we truly believed that we were not on the air. The f-word was spoken so softly that listeners at home could not hear the word, and only when you turn the tape on to its highest volume, can you hear the word, BEFORE the actual broadcast. With technical difficulties taking away fifteen minutes of the show (technical difficulties caused by an anonymous executive), which we had planned out so carefully, you can understand the frustration that we were going through. The f-word was spoken in the heat of the moment with no intention of being played on the air or on the show. We make a reference to us not being on the air right before saying that word. The accused “shits” were never said during the whole duration of our show, never. Another point to bring up to the board with language, is the language that is spoken by many of the students in radio. I was informed that one of the people accusing us of doing such a “wrong” show, last year went on the air, blatantly professing his/her hate towards the district, by using an abundant amount of swears directed at the administration. Every week on people’s shows, people swear, they play music with swears in them, Bob and Yev did nothing of this sort, and now we are in danger of being suspended or getting a strike for something that we had no knowledge of and had no reason to do. Bob and Yev have never sworn on the three times that they have been on radio, and will not ever. We truly believe that we are smart enough people to realize the amount of trouble that goes into swearing and the penalty for swearing, EVEN though ever week swears are told and no one does anything about it. So please, take into consideration these facts, and do not strike, suspend or kick us off the air for swearing, because obviously, WE DID NOT SWEAR ON THE AIR.

      Secondly, Bob and Yev were accused of not listening to authority while on the air. This is something that was not explained to us prier to the show or even now understood. I am personally in awe of what the WMTH Executives are trying to pull here because we did everything that the supervisors told us to do. We realized that we had made a few mistakes that we were unaware of, and had no knowledge that we could not do. For example, at the start of the show, we addressed that if you had missed the show, tapes would be for sale. After our supervisor reported to us that we could not sell tapes, we never mentioned the topic again and are not selling tapes. Another example would be the announcement of our web site address. We announced this web site three times, before the supervisor informed us that we can no longer give out our web sire address, at that point, we followed orders and did not mention the web site again. A complaint that we received is that we did not listen to the teacher who entered the office and told us that our “Top Ten List” could no longer be read because of a complaint. At this point both Bob and I were confused and upset, but never the less we followed orders and did not attempt to read the list at all. We NEVER dismissed anything that the supervisors told us throughout the afternoon and continued to follow any orders, which were given to us. Concerning the end of the show, some have been saying that we did not allow the radio to be taken off. This is outrageous, during the last five minutes of the show, our supervisor stole the microphone from us and read the closing announcements. We never fought to keep the show on and we never stopped the supervisor from doing his job. We were frankly upset that we were not allowed to give our final good byes for that night before the supervisor read the final announcements. We were given no warning, no “you’ve got five minutes guys wrap it up,” the microphone was stolen, and we did not object in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. I hope that we have proven another case in this long and ridiculous battle against “Bob and Yev.”

      Thirdly, the subject of the “Top Ten Most Attractive Girls of the 2003 Class” was brought up to the attention of the executive staff. This is the most ridiculous argument that has ever been issued. Bob and Yev asked and WERE APPROVED by executives’ two weeks prier to the airing of the show. Bobby even asked Mr. Shaphren to approve the list, and the LIST WAS APPROVED by him. There was nothing wrong with the list and nothing to go against the list since the list was approved a long time before hand. We were told that we can do the list in a “clean enough way to make it work.” No one should be blamed for this or be gotten in trouble for this at all for it was a stupid decision on several people’s part, including ours. There is nothing to say for this argument as I hope that now everyone sees really how stupid this argument is.

      Finally, we have several things to say, to actually get us in trouble with the radio executives. Since we have included a tape of the entire broadcast here, we have noticed a few things that we have done wrong and would like to apologize for. The first and most important thing that you executives missed, is our open comments concerning the WMTH radio. We are very sorry for not supporting the radio at times and going against the radio. For example I Yevgeny said that, “Don’t listen to WMTH.” We are very sorry about this and other comments such as “Call in with your complaints.” This is our third show ever and we did not know about such rules, we knew about swearing and that is why we avoided such things. We were NEVER informed by the supervisor during the entire show that we could not say such things and in the heat of the moment, finding out that the main of attraction of our show was to be cancelled. We agree on accepting one strike on behalf of this problem that we have caused you and we are very sorry even though we truly did not know that you could not say such things on the air. We see this as the only problem that we have caused WMTH radio and the only thing that we should be punished for.

      In conclusion, I hope that this letter has cleared up all the alleged rumors haunting the infamous “Bob and Yev Show.” As you know see, the three original arguments that were brought up can now be easily dismissed and should no longer be a concern. We have given you something that you have missed and are willing to except a strike for that. Do not forget that everything that has gone on in the Bob and Yev Show was to promote WMTH. In the last two weeks, more people have found out about our radio station than ever. On Monday December 4, we received more phone calls than WMTH has ever received in history. Bobby and I truly promoted the show, promoted the station, DID MORE PROMOTING THAN ANY MAN IN WMTH history. You cannot penalize us for trying to make the radio a better place and for getting the highest number of people to listen to WMTH ever. People are talking about our show, people are talking about the radio. When have you ever heard so many people talking about the radio. Bobby and I have achieved the one thing that everyone in the executive staff has always wanted, to get the radio to the people. There should be no penalty whatsoever for the amount of effort that we put into making this show and making everything work out. Do no forget that over fifty people voted in out quest to find out whom the most attractive girl of the class of 2003 is and in our quest to get people to find out about the radio and listen to the radio. We now understand that the top ten list may have been wrong, but to get publicity you need something Big, and we were getting tired of no one ever knowing about the radio. So now as you have found out, you have blown this thing way out of proportion for everybody has pretty much done the main charges against us in the radio staff. The longer this keeps going and the bigger our punishment, the more we will keep fighting for an unjust law.

P.S. We have already gotten many of our loyal fans to sign a petition stating to keep us on the air and a few people have actually written letters, so we hope that these letters and petitions will surface soon as they were given to the WMTH EXECUTIVES.

so as of late i have become pretty addicted to using twitter. what is twitter you ask?

Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?  Bloggers can use it as a mini-blogging tool. Developers can use the API to make Twitter tools of their own. Possibilities are endless! 

it’s quite cool and what really got me hooked was this new app that i found on the iPhone called Twinkle. anyhow, if you’re up for it, go sign up for an account and friend me or follow me. You can find my page here. tweet me.

cheers,
