Only not so much..it's quite irritating actually. So this weekend, Saturday night to be exact, I was at Bob's watchin' the fights..good night, good fights, lots of good friends, etc. BUT my car got hit. And it was a total downer, seriously. So my buddy comes in asking me to move my car since I was parked behind his, cool right? No big deal, sure I'll move my car. It was only then when I went to unlock my door that I notice a HUGE ass dent in the side of it..so I'm freaking out "Who the F*&^*k hit my car?" He's like "Yeah, I meant to tell you..um.." No dude, I totally called you out. Arghhhhh.
And since I'm doing the T&L Morning Show with Haro again all this week that was my "Number One Thing I Learned This Weekend"...a lesson.
Tell Your Friends If You Hit Their Car...do not make them call you out.

For The Record..
So yes, Britney. I love her. And ya know what, I almost feel bad for talking shit before..like the whole head shaving incident and showing her va-jay-jay to the world. That doc was GOOD and this girl would probably be a bad actor so I doubt she was putting on a front. For the 2nd time did I watch that special today.
AND I realize it's been forever since I've written here, but I promise to myself that I will keep up on this. A lot has happened that I kinda just wanted to avoid talking about, more or less write about and so I stayed away from pretty much every outlet that I would have to do that. BUT needless to say, through all the trials lately and getting used to my new life without my brother (as much as you can get used to something like that), I'm having more good days than bad days and that in and of itself I am very grateful for.
I also watched Scream Queens today, since I missed it last Monday, and since day 1, I became an addict. And the last episode is tomorrow, and I'm freakin. It's kinda like a bad wreck that you just can't take your eyes away from, but I can't call it a wreck because it's one of the better "reality" shows on tv right now. And due to the awesomeness of JetBlue airlines, I was able to watch the new episode on my way back from NY a few weeks ago. Love.
Speaking of NY, I really should just write a whole new post on it. My new favorite city deserves more than just a mention. BUT as far as "reality" (yes, the quotes are THAT necessary), Whitney from The Hills has a new show coming out, The City (ahhhhhhhhhh. seriously.)

Surrealism
It's amazing how much my life has changed in the past few years since I realized that radio is exactly what I should be doing. Even more so in the past (almost) 5 months since I've been doing midday's on WIIL Rock. The opportunities I've had here are almost too good to be true and things really couldn't get any better.
This week alone was definitely one of the best.
On Monday night Tom Morello came in. He was on Rockline, a radio interview show based out of LA. Since he was here staying with his mom for awhile in Libertyville he came in to use our studios. Being a HUGE Rage fan, I really couldn't believe that he was sitting in front of me all night and just chit-chattin' with me like we were old friends. Rage was one of the first bands I remember seeing on MTV when we used to sneak downstairs after Mom and Dad went to bed when we were younger. Then of course with the Guitar Hero craze, that brought on a totally new and different conversation we had..and yes, I had him sign my guitar. "Marija--you most certainly rock".
On Tuesday, 10 Years came in for an interview/acoustic performance with me. One of the coolest things for me here at the station is the opportunity to interview all the bands that come in. I'm a music junkie and am constantly reading and looking for stuff on bands that I like. Once it's in my head, I need to do something with it..and what better way to go, then to talk to the bands about it! The guys put on a spectacular performance and were really nice to talk to. Sweet Southern boys...who I was told later even used Ma'am and Sir at Arby's :)
Then to close out the week, Royal Bliss came in on Friday. I've been a fan of theirs for quite some time and right off the bat we had..an interesting introduction. Between finding Chris, one of the guitar players, standing outside the back door for God knows how long to going into their RV and have them offering/threatening to dance naked for me..it was like being the sister in between 5 brothers. Their acoustic set turned into a big sing-a-long with their anthem "I Was Drunk" and the interview was the most off-the-wall, fun interview I've done.
Later on Friday night I went to Durty Nellies for a show we did with Supagroup (hiliarious, good ole rock-n-roll), Royal Bliss, Lynam, and Earshot. All the guys in all the bands were super generous (I should've been buying THEM beer..) and it really was a good show, with the exception of the 25 person crowd. Yeah..it was dead. and a real shame it was. At least I was there..and I had a kickass time.
While I hate to write about what I've done and what I do..it all comes together in the sense that for me, I couldn't imagine having a career that didn't involve all the cool things I have the opportunity to do, and all the cool people I have the opportunity to meet. I've used that word a lot throughout..opportunity.

That's Bananas
So I had another blog, and I forgot the password (and they don't make it as easy to get a new one or reset as they should) SO I just decided to start completely fresh with a new site and a new password that I highly doubt I'll forget.
----------
So Ryan started a new work schedule and is now getting up at 4 in the morning, therefore going to bed at 8 while I'm all riled up and energized so I've been staying at home more often now, much to my dismay, but in the end it works out SO much better this way for both of us.
I started watching tv last night when I got home around 7 and so and saw that 90210 was on, and then that new show (is it new?) Privileged. Thought that maybe since I'm uber-obsessed with The Hills that I would give 'em a shot, and was absolutely perturbbed with the bad acting and ridiculous plot. Right then I realized why reality tv is so popular these days. While we all know that "reality" isn't "real", I find it to be entertaining nonetheless. After giving that up after a half hour, I think I gave it that, I went to the gym and got into the same conversation with a buddy I ran into, and thought about it some more.
Of course by the time I got home from working out, my 3 favorite reality shows were on: Project Runway, Janice Dickinson's Modeling Agency, and (my newly can't-beat-it favorite) The Rachel Zoe Project. I am a fashion junkie so these shows are just amazing. She is so frickin' quirky with her one-of-a-kind lines "I die!", "That's bananas", "Shut up right now". Rachel Zoe is my new fashion I. While they mainly show gowns on the show, I've gotten a lot of new ideas from what Rachel wears just day to day (some of it, I admit is a little wierd and would probably get me some laughs if I wore it..i.e. her pirate ruffle shirt) BUT whether you go high-end with it, or shop stores like Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe you can get a lot of the same sort of clothing for much cheaper (price and quality for that matter) and still look fab.
