Getting Sirius

Yup, I decided to get in on the whole satellite radio thing and I'm really glad that I did. There is such a wide range of programming and the options are endless. They have a great uncensored comedy channel on there that I can't get enough of. I love the fact that there are absolutely no bleeps. I can't stand the fucking bleeps. And I've been a Stern listener since like 1985 back in the NBC days so I'm looking forward to his contribution to the whole satellite thing. With all the censorship going on with his show it's sad to hear how it has changed the show. We (the group that is) met Howard back in 92. We did a song parody accapella for the show. He is such a down to earth nice guy. I actually feel bad for him the way the FCC comes down on him. He really has to be careful about the content on his show. My philosophy has always been If you don't like it , Don't listen. It's so easy to not tune in. I mean plain and simple Just don't listen. I could never understand that. But hey, Now I don't have to worry about it. I'll pay my 12.95 a month and listen to whatever the fuck I want. Fuck you Radio. There are too many fucking commercials anyway. Who wants to sit there and listen to 15 minutes of commercials every half hour. Not me.
Halloween was great. The kids had a blast and so did we. Now if you know me you know that I'm not a big fan of halloween. I don't really know why that is, I'm just not. But this year it was fun. It was fun like it used to be when I was a kid. Although it's a lot different now. My folks would get me a costume, hand me my spider man pillow case to use for a bag and send me out into the night to go trick-or-treating. We would walk for miles without the fear of being abducted or kidnapped or anything like that and my folks wouldn't worry that their children would be taken away from them for being unfit parents because they let us wander the streets at night without any parental supervision. There was more of a sense of community back then. People in the neiborhood looked out for eachother. I don't even think we locked our doors back then. I can't even imagine letting my kids go out by themselves now. Of course they are still very young but can I say that it wouldn't bother me when they are the same age as I was to let them go out alone go out alone? No, I can't. Society has become so untrusting. I miss the days when you felt safe all the time. The only time a tragedy happened was because of an accident. Now you can't breath without being sued or something like that. It really sucks. I wish things could be like they were. Simpler times, just simpler times. Oh well enough babbling for one day. Maybe I'll try the HNT this week.
