Weekly Rant: 12/272/009- Why I made peace

[jiggyjaguar]

This week if you browse Jiggy Jaguar Dot Com, you will see that I have added a media and networking partner section to my site. Why have I done this and why do I do these odd things? A lot of people think I have matured and I think it's something. No, this what happens when you get tired of swimming against the current. This is what happens when you finally just let the people exist in their own world. Plus in 2010 if I have it my way, I will not even be here anymore.

This week I sat back from the Zoo Christmas party and I thought, I need to get it going. I need to concentrate on getting back into mainstream radio. Rocking M is not going anywhere and they will continue to be the butt many jokes in the radio business world. I have realized it will never happen, I will not be working for SMG radio in Salina, nor would I be able to work along side guys and gals that can not stand me. However I know till RMR goes belly up, I will not be at Eagle Communications again or maybe never since everyone in radio is having issues making payroll's and it's not just here, it's everywhere. You see a radio company everyday on line filing for bankruptcy protection. You see company's going belly up.

I need to get back into radio, I have sat back long enough, I did the Cable Access thing but folks, I am tired of being an out of work DJ. I do not regret giving up at Rocking M and going on my way because these guys are just going down further and further the line. I just would like to work in radio again, I have saw the cable access folks go down the tubes, they are getting away from helping the volunteers and are helping themselves. You have someone on the head of the group who do not know a damn thing about TV. You have people under her who are lazy and continue to shit all over their volunteers with being better than their Volunteers, guess what folks, if you do not have volunteers you do not have jobs. You do not have the city of Salina paying you to put on re-runs and not servicing the community. So if I am not going to hang out here and watch it go down the tubes. I moved here to do TV and do radio and guess what radio is becoming a worse thing and TV is not that much better.

So what happens now is I am moving on, I am getting ready to move on. I have sent out many resumes and cover letter's to any and all radio station openings around the country. I am just waiting to hear back on this matter. I just hope by the end of 2010, either things have changed here in Salina or I have changed my situation personally. So let's see what happens by the end of the year. 2009 has been a bad year for me personally and professionally let's hope that 2010 is better. 2009 has had bright spots such as Bruce on the loose but then there were lots of fucked up moments such as Zoo 92.7 going the way the dinosaurs

My personal goal for 2010 is to either have a radio job and be done with all the crap locally. I do get tired of bitching about all the cut throat and pieces of crap in the media. Whether they be my friends or not. I do get tired of dealing with management for bands and promoters. I get fed up with dealing with some of the Access people. I have not enjoyed dealing with radio people this year. I just hope that by this time next year I will be on the radio somewhere getting paid to do what I have loved doing since I was little talking into a microphone for a mass audience such as radio.
