Radio Edit
So how many times have I mentioned radio stations and format changes? Well, the fun never seems to end.

I'm going to make this short and move on. Radio stations are afraid of satellite radio. Why? No commercials, over 100 formats, and better quality sound. So what do they do? They tweak or completely destroy their existing station in an attempt to bring in and keep new listeners. What they actually are doing is giving satellite a better reason to exist. For example, MIX 95.7 in Philly, a generic 80's, 90's, and today station has recently been transformed in to BEN FM. What the heck is that you ask? They play anything and everything they want. So in other words you can hear something from the 60's followed by something from today; after a rap song. They play ANYTHING! WTF? Who the heck is going to want to listen to a radio station with a short attention span?

But this seems to be the new trend. KROCK, which has always been a new alternative rock station, has recently changed things around as well in order to compensate for the loss of Howard Stern. They figure, by opening up the format to classic rock, then new listeners will come on and take the place of all the current listeners who are leaving when Stern does. But that's stupid. Regardless of who leaves and who doesn't, changing your format forces current listeners away. Now there isn't one decent alternative rock channel in NY anymore. And this when KROCK was getting good again, when they stopped playing the Beastie Boys every five minutes.

Listen dumb radio stations, you should try to keep your existing listener base, you know the one you spent over ten years cultivating? Why put a gamble on new fans, when you know what your old fans can do? Fuck you radio industry. I'm going to satellite.

Which brings me to my next point. I'm seriously considering a new car. Yes, yes, I know what you're going to say. "But Tom! Didn't you just get the Tomato wagon"? My first response would be an earth shattering "FUCK YOU!" But then I'd settle down and explain. I know I just got the Tomato Wagon, but there are certain things to consider here. Let's delve:

1. The tomato is used; I don't like used things (hehe)
2. The tomato is hitting 100,000 miles. At the rate I drive, soon there is going to be no worth left in the vehicle.
3. If the car does decide to go ape shit at 100,000, and i need to put more than $500 I've already spent too much.
4. A new car would give me reliability, which I need commuting to work everyday.
5. A new car would give me a warranty, so things would cost less to fix if they broke.
6. This is a chance to purchase something for the long run, so I don't have to worry about a car in 5 years.
7. I work for a car company! It would be stupid of me not to take advantage of the discount.
8. I work for a car company that happens to make the Chrysler 300.
9. I really want a Chrysler 300.
10. Did I mention I really want a 300?

So there. All the answers to any of the questions you may have. But you should be happy because I actually have a reason to put something here again. As I pursue my dream, I'll update, thus giving you something to read. My plan is to have the car by mid May, all based on the affordability of the vehicle. Right now, I plan on test driving this weekend. More later.
