In Rock

The other day I was looking through the new apps for my phone and I came across a radio app called TuneIn.  A couple of years back before I knew what all of these "apps" things were I was really wanting a cell phone with a radio receiver, of which they only made a few, must have not been very popular.

You see, I like to listen to news radio, sports radio and the like.  Seems that most of the time when I am in the mood for music I go to my own mp3 collection, kind of shied away from the radio.  I swear to God if I hear "Sharp Dressed Man" one more frickin' time!  When I was working overnights at The LoveTel there were many o' times that I wanted to turn the TV off and just listen in the darkness (oh yesth).  Anyway.

When I finally relented and decided last December that I should get a phone that does more than just calling and texting, I started to discover the whole apps thing and all that other stuff I had heard people talking about.  Now Wil is a technology type and he loves him some electronics so it was kind of queer (lol) of him to deny himself all of this fun for so long. 

So now that you know the "rest of the story" (Paul Harvey ruled!), TuneIn radio kicks ass!  They cover a ton of the stations throughout the US and abroad and even have a good amount of police and fire frequencies, etc. from across America.  Also their reception seems a lot better than some of the actual stations online offerings from their sites.  Go and check them out now:

And whilst you're there, I HIGHLY recommend Planet Rock.  This station out of London absolutely kicks ass!  I've heard songs on this station that I haven't heard in years or you just plain have never heard on radio to begin with.  The other night I got Revelations by Iron Maiden followed by Black Knight from Deep Purple, Sign Of The Southern Cross by Black Sabbath and then a song I'd never even heard from Thin Lizzy.  Some of the new rock they play is quite good also and I've gone and sought out at least 4-5 of theses artists/acts cause I wanted to hear more from them.  Yeah, this is Wil's idea of radio, they probably don't play Money by Pink Floyd every 2 hours. In fact as I type this they're doing their "Metal Hammer" show which for those that like it that hard, you can't beat it.  Not really Wil's cup of tea there, I don't go anywhere south of Maiden myself, LOL.  If you like to rock, go and check them out now!  Yes Heff, you can listen to them on your computer, don't have to have one of those cell phone contraptions.

I'll be regularly passing along some of my fav apps, stay tuned for more!  The Commander, out!

Aight, so I really have nothing here, just some miscellaneous shite.  I just spent like 30 minutes working on a diatribe about cigarette taxes but decided against posting that, just wasn't doing it for me.  So here's some shite!

What in the hell is going on in this pic?  There's just all kinds of craziness here.  I'm not sure what the photographer was going for here but I hope he found it.

Here is what I do when I'm sitting around and have nothing better to do with my time.  The sad fact here is this was like the ninth picture I took before I got one I liked.  Yeah, and this was the best of them. 

 

  

I figured out tonight that I can take a screen shot of my phone.  Stay tuned for some fine wallpaper offerings from Wil on this one.  This would be of the generic variety just for example sake. 

My beloved White Sox have won 8 in a row, sweeping the Indians and the Rays in their midst, like so much garbage.

Finally, here's a little gadget I picked up the other day cause I tend to buy things like this.  You can just never have too much information.

The Body Electric?

Only from the mind of Heff.  This is the kind of creative genius I receive all the time from him, and I reckon I do send him back a good deal of groundbreaking material my own damn self.  I thought I would share this with you now.

New post coming up here at WH.com on Thursday, stay tuned.  I'm trying to get back in the swing of this, not going on hiatus again, at least not for a week or so, LOL.  See you then.

Yes, it is mine, bitch!  (Metal Face!) 

Also, if you're not following me on Twitter, submit to me now!  I do come up with some fine off the cuff one liners and such throughout the course of the day, seems a shame to keep the all to myself.

I simply must have this hat.  Yes, it shall be mine.

Check out this very interesting photo collection that I saw on Bee's Facebook the other day.  Every year on June 17th they took photos of themselves for many years.  Really cool.

The Arrow Of Time

And finally, here's a couple quick ones that I saw on Craigslist the other day.  One of them you better make sure you look good enough for and the other is a for a band that's apparently seeking Jesus.

Seeking A Manger

As always, love the spelling and punctuation in these.  I just can't be bothered with all that proper English and shit. 

Thank You, Come Again

So the other morn after dropping off my brother-in-law at the workplace I decided I would visit one of our 37 neighborhood Dunkin' Donuts locations and get a couple of grease rings. No, no coffee, not for Wil. So I place my order (Boston Creme!) at the drive-thru and proceed to the window. I am greeted by a mostly friendly man of Indian descent (surprise!) who takes my money, makes change and walks away from the window to get my order. As I am sitting there looking in the approx 1 X 2 window I notice this sitting right smack dab in the middle of it:

Yes, this exact same cup as a matter of fact. Now before you get all pissy, here's the rub. I am just about 98% certain that everyone working there that morning was an owner/operator of this particular location. I mean, come on, you know they were. There were 3 people standing there in close proximity to the window and they were all in there 40s-50s and of Indian descent. Hell, they even looked exactly alike, no racism intended, LOL.

Now I don't mind people earning extra money for a job well done and Wil is and always has been a very good tipper. Waitresses, hairdressers, pizza delivery drivers, exotic dancers you bring home and then they steal all the change out of your change jar and your girlfriend's expensive cologne, sure. These people are seriously underpaid and depend on this to make ends meet. Funny sideline, when I was a kid I thought it was "ends MEAT" I looked for it in the meat department every time we went grocery shopping and never could find it. Anyway, I digress...

I guess the thing that I find strange about this is you don't campaign for tips when you are the owner of the place, at least not in my thinking. What do you think? Discuss.

Also, here is an interesting story that I borrowed the pic from.  Now in this case these are actual "workers".
