Intro To Radio

The morning of Wednesday, June 7th, I woke up at 4:00 am, kicked around the bid till 4:30 and then got ready to be at the studios of The Current FM in Virginia Beach by 7:45. I was invited to join J.P. and Missy of J.P. Morgan in the Morning to talk about Jump’s block party that night.

Flash forward a week and a half to this morning at 4:30. I woke up at my grandfathers house (the one he doesn’t live in) and prepared to be at the studio once more. This time at 6:30.
By 7 am I was back on the air and introduced as the newest member of The Current Crew. That right, I now work at a radio station.
What a blast.

We had some good conversations about relevance, outreach, and of course sex and sexuality. The biggest thing we pushed was for parents to get involved in their kids lives and talk to them about sex, as well as other issues.

I will be back on Friday morning from 6:30 am - 10:00 am est, and seven days a week after that (same time). For those of you outside the VA Beach area (you lucky if you can get it in Hampton or Newport News) you can listen online at currentFM.com.

so far…

no bites….

Lots of possible web work though.

A Deep Revelation

So, im working on my “Practical Bible Study” homework when i had this sudden thought. It just about blew my mind and I had to think it over for a while to make sure it was clear. This is deep yall. It will do a number on your world view.

Here it is:
The ABC’s and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have almost identical tunes.

Chew on that for a while.

so this is me

Me and my mom were in the living room getting ready to see a play, when she asked if her hair looked ok. I walked up to her, smelled her head and said, “yeah, looks fine.”

The Much Needed Update

So I need to ramble. I have to get a five page paper done and it’s getting nowhere. Time to get the brain juices flowing. So I haven’t been bloging because I wanted to do some stuff to jakegarrison.com first, but…. Oh well, I’m too busy. A lot has happened recently. Here’s a rundown.

My life list: (in mostly the right order)

  • Dentist found bumps in jaw, referred me to oral surgeon
  • Mole on arm started to itch, peel, turn red, decided to see my dermatologist instead.
  • Realized there was no possible way I could go to Chicago.
  • Switched webhost to dreamhost.
  • Asked Emily “out” (she said yes)
  • Visited the dermatologist. Lumps in jaw are cists, but benign. She decides the mole should be removed and it is sent for testing.
  • Emily and I decide we are not ready for this kind of relationship yet
  • Get grades from last quarter, received a C in OT. I’m down to interning once a week now.
  • Offered a job at bethel college
  • Found out my cousin is getting married in a month. (Everyone is getting married these days)
  • Started working on new MustardMedia.com website.
  • I will be representing Bethel-College at Youth Convention. I’m so excited about getting connected with the district again.
  • Visited dermatologist to get stitches out and found out a scab grew oven them, so it left a hole. Got my blood work done same day (possible liver problem from the meds), had a bandage on each arm :)
  • Dermatologist called with blood work and mole results. Blood work is fine, but the mole has some kind of irregular cell or something. They have referred me to a plastic surgeon to have the area around it removed (this was one of the scariest moments of my life).
  • Laptop died, again. This time worse then before. Unfortunately, it happened right before a big paper is due.
  • John Absher asked if MustardMedia could do a video for them to take to Youth Convention. Bryan will be heading this one up. This is exciting, our second time we have had one at youth convention.
  • Emily’s family is in town today. I did not go to church this morning so I did not see them. I also forgot that I had Sunday school today. Whooopsss….
  • Just found out I been offered another website job.

Kayne west wants to be in the bible now. Sigh, Jesus loves him.

Letter to the President: Diaper Disaster Deferral Debriefings

This got a little week twords the end, but thats ok. It doesnt really get graded. Maybe one day i will divelop it more.

Mr. President,

Contained in this letter is a full debriefing on my teams recent mission counteracting the secret mercenaries of the Joint International Ministry of Ordering other Businesses Around, also known as J.I.M.O.B.A.

Three months ago, a reliable source, which will remain anonymous, informed our intelligence agency of JIMOBA’s most recent plot for world domination; gain control of the world’s supply of diapers and baby powder. Initially, this threat was not taken seriously, until one of our top research agents discovered several interesting facts about these two items. Apparently, the materials used in the construction of the common baby diapers become, what our research scientist are now calling, “Super Absorbent.” Also, the structure of the diaper provides a large padded space in the center. This padded section proves to be an ideal place to mount a small circuit board, as it provides optimal shock resistance, and an excellent hiding place from international security. Another fact worth noting is that the fibrous construction of the diapers can easily be laced with nanotechnology, and connected together with the standard adhesive. These features not only would allow for each diaper to become “smart,” but provide the ability for multiple units to “network” together, providing unified movement and coordination.

Another fact about diapers we found in research, are their wide spread use and distribution throughout our country and the world. This widespread use would allow these new devices to be distributed with out notice. Diapers are occasionally tested for the presence of illegal drugs, but rarely tested for the presence of nanotechnology.

Combining the information we gathered from our research with that of our informants, we came to the conclusion that the first step in JIMOBA plan, was to gain control, or at lest heavy influence, of all the major diaper producing companies in the world. Soon after our theory was confirmed when one of JIMOBA’s puppet companies, Maximums Inc acquired large shares of tree of the worlds largest baby care supply firms, including the infamous Baby Mech CO.

Once full control of these companies was gained, stolen top-secret technology, originally designed to aid in the baking of Mrs. Fanny’s Fabulous Crumpets, was immediately implemented into all new diapers. Any new abnormities noticed in the diapers where reported as “new and improved, for the baby’s comfort.”

At this point JIMOBA’s plans were well known to us. Once the diapers were distributed around the globe, JIMOBA would send the command for each unit to link together. When linked, the network of diapers would suck up the water supply of all the major cities of the world. Another one of JIMOBA would then hold the world hostage, while some how looking like the good guy.

It was not much longer after that we were able to determine the use of the baby powder. Our knowledge database confirmed that baby powder is often used in close association with diapers. Intelligence confirmed that JIMOBA had devised a way to use the powder as a source of power for the nanobots inside the diapers. This way the diaper would be powered up after they were inside the homes, eliminating the need for electric current that could cause suspicion.

At this time we were ready to form a task force to eliminate the threat. We decided on six members, I being the leader and coordinator, two technology experts (one to go with us, and one to operate the temporary headquarters near by) a weapons expert, and two experts on baby products. After careful scanning and analyses of the building we found one major exploit in their security system. JIMOBA implements a highly advanced security system into each of their buildings all over the world. Every security system is equipped with motion sensing cameras, heat sensitive walls, pressure sensitive floors and is absent of any data access from the outside. However, we were able to detect a wireless network connection carelessly installed inside a janitor’s closet. After we where able to access the security system via the wireless network, our next step was to de-encrypt the command signals. This was surprisingly achieved using the numbers off of the vice presidents fortune cookie.

Since every level of security is checked by computers without human oversight, we were able to enter directly into the facility without hazarded or determent. Once inside the center of the building, removed several items for evidence. To ensure that their was no way for their plans to continue, we activated the self destruct sequence.

All human personal escaped unharmed, and their plan had been effectively stopped. However, there is still ample evidence for the UN to put forth a heavy prosecution.

Sincerely,
-Agent Jake Garrison

Inside the Inside Jokes of my Inside

Sometimes I crack myself up. Now, I’m not trying to be conceded or anything, and I don’t clame to be funny to anyone else. At times I simply find the things I think and say really funny.

Have you shared an inside joke with someone? You know, when all you have to do is look at the other person a certain way and you both die laughing, and everyone else thinks your crazy. Well consider these “inside, inside” jokes. When you laugh really hard and everyone KNOWS your crazy.

Some times the things people say remind me of things that have happened before, sometime long ago. Or they will say something and my mind will run with a phrase to create some story or situation that I just cant help laughing at. Yeah, vivid imaginations are great.
