I just saw Bruce Campbell on the Christian Life Channel pimping his book 'If Chins Could Talk.' A priest was interviewing him. I wanted to hide behind a chair and wish I'd never stumbled upon the damn thing. I'm Roman Catholic, and I got no beef with others of my denomination, but seeing Ash wearing glasses, not being an asshole (as he is on and off the set--I hope), wearing a decent shirt and looking quite normal talking without sarcasm to a priest was just too much. Neil, I know you wanna post, but a personal e-mail may suffice. It was fucked up.
There's no urge inside me to play old skool hip-hop tracks and turntablism tracks at KLSU anymore. I had it, I kept and maintained it, and I lost it. No one cares. I don't have anymore listeners after I gave up an hour of my show. No one's listening, no one has an interest in that part of the past, that part of pop culture. MP3s killed the DJ. I'm tossing around the idea of resigning. I'd like to concentrate on my studies and my job more.
I'll be in Baton Rouge City Court awaiting a formal hearing and formal sentencing on October 31st at 9AM. Come one, come all and watch me be publicly humiliated and shamed more than I already have been. Watch my life flush down the toilet. And if you're lucky, you can see me get sentenced to house arrest in addition to probation, a fine and a possible urinalysis shortly after trial. Hey, I'm a winner, not a loser, keep my head up, right?
Wil, I like your posts and your sense of humor, but if your reference Star Trek one more time, I think I may have to peg you as a has-been clinging on to a little fame to impress the youth. BTW--What was it like working with Jenny McCarthy? I hear she hitched up with a director who used to be a shitty actor on USA's TV version of 'Weird Science,' which had a Bruce Campbell appearance as a blue genie. Well, who am I to judge? I guess you have to keep your name out there somehow. Bills have to be paid.
Respond, all. Your comments make me feel...alive. Like my life has some sort of validity, some meaning.
Have an engaging Sunday.

hey, FUCK THAT!!!
i know i'm not one of the cool escapees from BR, i didn't make it out of here to the big fun city, but I still listen to KLSU, it's the only radio station besides WRKF I can actually stomach!!
i didn't know it was you who was responsible for that rash of old-school hip hop, and now that i know, i can only thank you for playing it and BEG you to keep doing it. I enjoy it. Aren't I enough?
relax, milky.
don't let the evil baton rougeness invade your mostly good spirit.
John said at 4:12 AM 10-14-2001: Hey man, I know that empty feeling that you get at KLSU after working there for a while. I went through that shit too. Everytime that I think that I miss the place, I go back for a visit and realize that I don't know anyone there, and they don't know me, even though I gave the place 4 years of my life. It's all new people now, except for James the janitor. Anyway, dude, I fucking love your show! Don't think that you don't have listeners, because you do. All of my friends listen to you. Seriously, I'm not bullshiting you here, your show is like therapy sometimes man. You know how it is here in BR nowadays. Everytime that I listen to the old stuff you play man, I always hear something that I haven't heard in ten years and I love it! Me and the few friends that are left in BR always listen to your show before we go out, and you always seem to play something that just brings out memories that I haven't had in years. Keep it going dude, please!

I was talking to a DJ this week who mentioned quitting because they couldn't deal with the immaturity in the meetings on ego-induced tempers on/off air around the place. I can't believe it's only been getting worse and not better by this point. Sucks that it's running the good DJs out and demoralizing the ones who stay.
milky [email] said at 11:07 AM 10-14-2001: I was completely drunk and I hit another car. Situation's so bad my lawyer can't get me out of it or even get me a reduced sentence. Upon arrest, I spent 6 hours in city jail and 13 hours in parish prison. I did my community service, I paid the money for their bullshit safe driving courses (watching 12 hours of don't drink and drive videos I already saw from K-12), but it's not over...
Jeff said at 1:33 PM 10-14-2001: Seriously though, I'll be there for support if you'd like some friends there with you. Shoot me an e-mail.
I'll only do court sketches and mp3 recordings if you want me to ;)
On another topic: I was just walking through the church and was about to take the elevator to my apartment when I heard a loud "smack" and a baby crying. Knowing from past experience that abusive parents love to beat their kids up in church hallways, I opened the door to the nearby hallway and made my way down to an obviously embarassed, but angry mother. Her kid who couldn't have even been 2 was sitting on the floor crying. Tell me how smacking an infant teaches discipline.
milky [email] said at 8:15 PM 10-14-2001: Well, I guess I shouldn't quit. It's become a habit already...waitin', killin' time before my show. 'Sides, I have a few things left that no one's heard in a while. Not much, but enough to last the semester.
Craig said at 11:57 PM 10-14-2001: Dude, I had no idea you were in such legaltrouble. I have been in jail, and I know howmuch it sucks. I hope you pull through. I know the stress of court dates and sentence hearings, and I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
milky [email] said at 6:17 AM 10-15-2001: Thanks. It really sucks because they may be taking away my freedom of mobility, i.e. my ability to move away from this shithole of Baton Rouge because of probation. And you know how probation works-- you just pay someone to piss in a cup, you pay to be tested for drugs. There's really no point to it.
Sascha said at 12:21 PM 10-15-2001: Wait,you were drunk driving and caused an accident, and you're complaining because you may just get off with probation?
milky [email] said at 1:03 PM 10-15-2001: Besides, if you can fucking read, that's not the only thing I'm complaining about. I'm NOT just getting off with probabtion. That would be a scenario that is impossible.

Aaron said at 6:59 PM 10-15-2001: I'll have Guido and Louie Four Fingers talk to the judge, and see if we can sway him to your favor. If he doesn't show up for court, well, I don't know anything about it.
