Brand New Blog

Written by Rob Abramenko Tuesday, 16 February 2010 23:36

I know, I know! Not another blog from a navel gazing radio host who thinks his opinions matter more than the next persons. Well no worries, this blog won't be me spouting off but instead will give you some insight to whats going on here at the Radio Ranch (yeah, I stole it from the legendary Frank Martina). Also we will have interesting articles, my top 5, my favourite viral videos and much much more. Also your chance to win goodies, get the inside scoop on local sports and events going on in our community. So away we go. Kicking things off with one of my faves, The Top 5.

TOP FIVE INDICATIONS IT'S AN ATHLETE'S FIRST TIME AT THE OLYMPICS: For actual Olympic coverage - CLICK HERE
1. Wins a gold medal and immediately has it bronzed
2. Caught three times roasting marshmallows over Olympic torch
3. Wears his speed skating uniform in the Village (not a good look)
4. Hopes to see real Olympic Village People
5. Thought the five Olympic circles marked the ring toss booth

Armstrong's Ryan Nitchie is at the Olympics volunteering. The Armstrong Shamrocks lacrosse boss is keeping a daily diary that is a pretty darn good read. Check it out HERE.

THINGS GUYS DON'T NEED ANYMORE:
(Men's Health) Bad habits. Annoying antics. Line 'em up. Cut 'em loose in 2010. Move on. 

• Your cynical, bitter, pessimistic, self-deprecating, angry-young-man, screaming-at-the-raindrops, making-George-Costanza-look-like Tony-Robbins-in-comparison attitude.
• Whatever it is that's kept you from having a meaningful conversation with the most important person in your life for the past 3 months.
• Those pants with the waistband that's 2 hopeful inches too small.
• Your urge to recount high-school, college, bachelor-party, and hunting stories for your friends' wives and girlfriends.
• That third slice of pizza.
• Your college nickname. Especially if it's any of the following: "Booger," "Flounder," "Poopie," "Psycho," "The Hammer," or "Dime Bag."
• Those last three playground rules you've been clinging to: crossing your fingers on a promise, the triple dog dare, and never picking a girl for your team.
• Your habit of unconsciously feeling your biceps. Scratch that...every guy needs to do that!   

PHOTO OF THE DAY:
Not many people get to see the 'Sports Desk' including my wall of fame and shame. Here is a sneak peek of behind the scenes at KISS FM. Check this blog for more behind the scenes photos. Remember to click it to enlarge the photo.

ODDS AND ENDS: 

 - The Vernon Vipersonly have a handful of games left and the regular season wraps up this Sunday against the Surrey Eagles. If the Vipers hold onto first place they will earn a bye into the next round of the BCHL playoffs. KISS FM will be hosting a tailgate party to kick off game one of the playoffs. Keep it tuned to 107.5 for more information. BTW have you checked out one of the biggest hits of the year. Conner Jones lays out Andrew Pickering of the Vees. But its not all anger, CLICK HERE to see the Valentines Day Special. If you would like to go to this Sunday afternoon's game between the Vernon Vipers and Surrey Eagles.
