My First Time!

A Blog Cherry Popped!

Greetings and salutations! My name is Rick. This is my first blog. I know several people who blog and have enjoyed reading some of their stuff. Up to this point, I have had no interest in blogging, but I wanted to at least try. So... here we go!

Bloggers I Know

My friend (and former co-worker) has a terrific blog. Nate Jolly is originally from Oregon, a Duck fan, not a Beaver fan. (that is so true on so many levels) Dr. Jolly and I met when we were employed by Learfield Communications Sports Division in Jefferson City, MO. Nate was an affiliate relations rep and I was (and still am) an audio production guy. I don't know my title, but I think I have one. Nate's a good egg - stylishly hip in a neo-Australopithecus sort of way. His progressive attitude was a ray of hope in a seemingly hopeless quagmire of conservatism. That would be Jefferson City. Nate now lives and works in Washington DC. Rock on, Beavis.

Another blogger from work (he's still here) is Matt Brown. Matt is a huge St. Louis Cardinals fan and has the schwag to prove it. Matt is the Coordinating Producer here at Learfield Sports. He's not a tenacious blogger like Nate, but throws some good stuff out there nonetheless. Matt is living proof that corporate America is alive and well and not overworked. Matt deserves it, though since he's a former radio guy who found life outside the biz. (Yes, Learfield is a radio network, but not a radio station. Big diff.) Matt also claims to have wet, sloppy sex with my very hot wife on a regular basis - it isn't true. I've yet to come home to find her laughing hysterically; nor have I noticed needle marks in or around her pelvic region.


One of the guys from Accounting here at Learfield is Darin Jobe. DJ is a great guy. He has a hot wife and three kids. His blog touches on topics far and wide. He is also very good about letting some emotion come through. His scrawlings are certainly entertaining, but don't hold your breath for any immediate updates, as he is on a self-inflicted hiatus. Come back soon, biotch!




Perhaps the most diligent blogger I've ever known is Steve Mays. Mays really a-Mays-es me. He's not an "old guy", but is an older gentleman. He's of an age from which one wouldn't expect much computer savvy, let alone tight, quality blogging. He blogs every day, lets loose his conviction, political views and general moral fibre (or lack thereof) and packages it all in very entertaining and informative prose. Definitely cruise by Steve's blog - you'll bookmark it and return - I guarantee it.




I suppose this will end the inaugural entry of my blog. Nothing really for you to enjoy, but a start. My next post should be more robust. I'll allow myself to delve into the shit that really bugs me. Like my new neighbors "landscaping" their backyard... and MY driveway!

Until then...
