50th Blog!

Well folkitos, my blog officially turns a half century with this post. This is the 50th time I've clicked that "New Post" button and poured my heart and soul out to you guys. Though it's more like I've poured my poop and urine out to you guys. Potty humor. Gosh. Sometimes I think about throwing in a serious blog every now and then. But I don't want to scare anyone off. Maybe I'll subtly slip in some serious stuff here and there so you won't even notice it. It'll be a sneak attack!

So let's see, my first blog was written on Januray 24th of 2009. A little more than a year and a half ago. Quite a bit has changed since then. My appearance for one. This was taken about a week after my first post:

















Terrifying I know.


And this is what I look like as of one week ago:

















The creepiness has certainly remained over the past year and half, that's for sure. It's just been a nice progression of creepiness. Life is all about growth and change. You can't stay one kind of creepy your whole life and expect to get any fulfillment out of it. I'm glad I've been able to grow.


So what else has changed over the past 50 blogs? Here, I made a list of things that were going on then that aren't going on now:


-I worked for KROQ and Loveline.

-I had a MySpace.

-The closest thing I had to a mustache was when I went on a fruit punch bender.

-I had luscious curls.

-I had never heard of ChatRoulette.

-I wasn't an honorary Furry.

-Twitter didn't exist and I was happier for it.

-I hadn't made a single video from random outings.

-I was single... oh wait... that one hasn't changed.


That list was kind of lame. Much like this entire blog.


In all seriousness, I have grown a lot since that first blog. I feel like I live a better life. Try to make the best of each day. Try to make sure I feel fulfilled as I lie in bed each night. A lot of recent events have led me to that, but it really has been a nice healthy growth over the past year and a half. I'm happy. Periods of being bummed interspersed here and there, but that's usually a prerequisite to growth and discovery. Life is good.


Wait, what just happened? I blacked out for a second.


So here's to 50 more, I suppose. Let me know what you fools have liked and not liked in this here blog. I won't take any of it into account.

Video-Palooza! Nor Cal Style!

So I took myself a little trip this weekend up to the San Francisco Bay Area. My very good, dear, sweet, loving, amazing, sexy, beautiful, kind, cheerful, usually intelligent friends Danny and Irene drove themselves up and I flew up a day later because of work. We all rendezvoused in the city and had ourselves one heck of a good time! *Said in nasally dork voice* Well I took my little hand held camera that was kind enough to take video for me on this weekend. And when it was all said and done, I complied 1 hour 11 minutes and 17 seconds of video footage. So I've spent the last 3 days uploading and compiling that footage into what you're about to see.

I could've made one loooooong video of the whole trip, but instead I broke it up into three parts. They're all pretty bad. And I know it's hard to watch long videos sometimes, but just think of it as a TV show with your commercial breaks built into it. Only you don't actually have to watch the commercials! Instead you can get up and eat some girl scout cookies or something like that. Anywho, enough rambling, enjoy!

First video is our respective journeys to the Bay Area. Find out if we ever met up in the city! (SPOILER ALERT: We don't. Also, look out for special appearances by our friends Aaron and Greg!)


Next is our day in San Francisco! The five people in the previous video are also featured in this one along with Aaron's roommate Stephan. Watch and then vote for your favorite cast member by texting the name of your favorite to 74213. (Please don't actually do that, I don't know where that text will end up.)



And finally, Greg took Danny, Irene and myself to the prettiest beach I've ever seen in California. It was in Santa Cruz and while this one is the longest video, I think it's the most compelling. I also could be lying.


All these videos can be found on my YouTube page www.youtube.com/kevindoesstuff. Please write nasty things about me there.

KROQ & Loveline Farewell

Well my friends, I no longer work for KROQ or Loveline. I started my new job last week and finished up with KROQ last Saturday and Loveline last Thursday. Sad to leave both. But at least I'll never have to hear a guy ask how he can make his girlfriend squirt or hear girls ask me why they can't orgasm from sex. (By the way, guys: girls pretty much either can or cannot squirt. It's nothing you're doing. It's just their biology. So if they're not doing it, chances are you can't make them squirt. And if they are squirting, pump yourselves up all you want, but it's really just them. And girls: the majority of you can't orgasm from penetration. It's gonna take some other kind of stimulation. Masturbation is a good idea, get to know your body. And if you've got someone who rocks your world orally, ride that all you can 'cause that's how you gonna finish! - Ok, knowledge dropping done.)

You know it's a bad sign when what's in parenthesis is longer than what's not.

So on my last days at KROQ and Loveline, the respective hosts on air at these times were kind enough to bring me on the mic to bid a farewell of sorts. And I've got the audio for you right here!

This first one was my farewell on KROQ with midday DJ (and my good friend) Kat Corbett. I went ahead and threw in some pics of some KROQ memories. I think they're all from KROQ shows (Weenie Roast and Acoustic Christmas). Look, here it is!


Then came my Loveline farewell. Hosts Psycho Mike Catherwood and Dr. Drew Pinsky brought me on the mic. Which is never a good idea. But they said some very kind things about me. And I'm pretty sure I offered Dr. Drew a mustache ride. Once again, I threw some Loveline pics over the audio. So watch it and hate it.



One last little Loveline memento... Loveline web guy Tyler was nice enough to post this picture from my last night on the Loveline Facebook page.


It got a decent amount of comments on it, which were fun and kinda surreal to read. Weird seeing people who really have no idea who you are talk about you. But I pulled some of my favorite comments:

  • "that's a hell of a porn stache"
  • "He sounded a lot younger than he looks."
  • "I like his mustache :{ :)"
  • "It looks like gouda wants to taste mikes seed one last time."
  • "God, Mike was right. Gouda does look like a creep camp counselor."

Little did that guy know, I was a creep camp counselor with that 'stache.

So my time is done and sure, I've been a bit sentimental. But I now work for Westwood One, in the exact same building that I worked at Loveline. AND that building is like 6 blocks down the street from KROQ. AAAANNND, I'm working for the Kevin & Bean show (KROQ's morning show, which is nationally syndicated...I'm the guy who sends it out to all the other markets.) So this is about the least I could leave while still actually leaving. So I don't feel like I went too far from anything.

So all this said, thanks for reading and I'll update you as soon as I get fired from the new job!
