(from Terry Jaymes' blog):
Somebody close to me said, “Write about who you are.” – I’m not sure it was said to inspire me, but for some reason it did. This should be a fun exercise. It should be easy too. After all, men love to talk about themselves.
I’m a guy. I have a potty mouth. I have an ego and I fight back when pushed too hard. I enjoy a nasty joke. I flirt. I notice beautiful women. I love sports. Farts make me laugh. I’ve yelled at a co-worker. I’ve punched a wall out of frustration. I want women to be attracted to me. I’ve said mean things to important people in my life. I love my car. I love loud motorcycles. I’ve held a grudge. I’ve cried when my team lost. Dogs make me smile, but I don’t like cats very much. I’m selfish and want things to go my way. I’ve broke a few hearts. I’ve had mine broken more.
I’m not very proud of most of the things on the above list. Especially since I could have kept going and going. Reading it makes me sad actually.
What’s wrong with wanting to be better everyday? Above all, what’s wrong with taking massive action to do so? I’ve spent my entire life reading and studying the greats and how they become. In doing so, I’ve found out that the “greats” have also had some not so great moments. I know a lot about spirituality and the power of the mind. Some of this is in my DNA – some is learned. The most important thing I’ve learned is to forgive others and above all, to forgive yourself. The latter being the hardest for me.
I consider myself a very compassionate man. I see the goodness in people and the beauty of a new day. I love to inspire and to be inspired. I love seeing people living their dream, and I want to be a part of helping them get there. I try to connect spiritually everyday. I want to be a solid friend and a perfect husband (in both of these areas I’ve let myself, and them down). But things happen and excuses are made everyday that allow me to overlook what’s really important. But the more I learn and the more I practice, the less downtime there is. I’m no “New Age Wuss.” I just know when you work hard on something, you get positive results.
Every morning I do my best to put into motion what I’ve learned. However, I’ve yet to have the perfect day where every thought is happy, every word spoken is inspirational and kind ,or a day where I haven’t felt bad for my actions.
But I’m getting close.

Meet the Broads - real-life friends with different points of view, and one helluva good time. Christine and Molly met while attending George Mason University studying drama and it has been downhill ever since. They often refer to their time living in LA together as well as the many, many men they have dated over the years. They hate certain phrases-dumb ass, pop tarts, and beware of shark week.
The Mancow Show
Dad, Dames, Demons and a Dwarf, Mancow's Book
Monica's interview: Oct 5, 2011
July 13, 2006 - Chicago, IL - The following was issued today by Erich "Mancow" Muller: "I've been asked by many people why I'm no longer at Emmis Broadcasting's Q101-FM. I was informed by Q101's management that they want to focus narrowly on music and only music. My loyal listeners know the Mancow Morning Madhouse is about much more than that. I talk about issues of the day. I have opinions. I'm syndicated across the country. I'm a regular guest on Fox & Friends. My vision is to take that positive Mancow message across America from a home base in Chicago. It is my belief that Q101 didn't want to participate in that.
"I am currently in negotiations to find a new Chicago home for the show. In the meantime my syndicator, Talk Radio Network FM, is setting up a Chicago studio and we will begin broadcasting to syndicate stations next week." The following was issued today by Mancow's syndicator, Mark Masters, chief executive officer of Talk Radio Network FM: Following the events of 9/11/01, Mancow restructured his show making it all about entertainment, pop culture, political satire and substance rather than what other FM morning shows do, which is often a form of audio voyeurism. Before Talk Radio Network FM signed its syndication agreement with Mancow, we did a lot of homework and determined that he is both FCC-safe and advertising-friendly, as demonstrated by the more than 25 national brand advertisers who have used Mancow as a safe haven for advertising since 2004. As he has broadened the content of the show, his ratings have grown exponentially. We are committed to the continued aggressive expansion of Mancow's syndication.

Tracy Jones is a former professional baseball player who played in the Major Leagues primarily as an outfielder from 1986-1991. Jones has falsely credited himself for inventing the popular catch phrase, "It is what it is" at age 7. He regularly asks show guests if they agree with his catch phrase regarding their respective topics ("When it comes to (topic x) I think you'll agree with me when I say, 'It is what it is'"). He also regularly will end a conversation with a female caller by guessing her weight over the phone. Jones' son, Hunter, was drafted in the 11th round of the 2010 MLB first year player draft by the Cleveland Indians.
