It's a shame I didn't know about this until two days ago - Bank of America is having their "Museums on Us" promotion throughout the month of May.

If you're a Bank of America card holder (debit or credit) you can get free admission for you and a guest to any of the 25+ museums, zoos, gardens, and aquariums on their list - and this is just in the New York City area!

So far, my girlfriend and I have gone to the New York Aquarium and the Old Westbury Gardens, free of charge.

Finally, a bank did something for their customers other then give them a crappy toaster.

First, Stern leaves K Rock. CBS, obviously feeling scorn, changes their station into an all-talk format called "Free FM."

The "Free" part was intended to mean "Free to talk about what you want." This premise is bullshit because you can't say much without violating an FCC rule or violating this new politically correct system we seem to have adopted here in America (see: nappy-headed ho). Everyone knew that "Free" meant free as in price, since Stern went on to Sirius - a pay service. CBS wasn't fooling anyone, certainly not me.

Over the last couple of years, Free FM went through quite a few hosts, including legendary idiot and Van Halen front-man, David Lee Roth. The show was hyped so much and it bombed horribly (it's no surprise that you can't base a show on your one achievement in life). Diamond Dave was eventually replaced with Opie and Anthony (O&A).

As far as I was concerned, Free FM's later line-up was stellar. O&A, The Dog House with JV and Elvis, Nick Di Paolo, The Radio Chick, Ron and Fez - all good shows bringing something different to the table.

Things started going downhill about 6 weeks ago when NBC indefinitely suspend JV and Elvis for a prank phone call to a Chinese restaurant (in the wake of the Don Imus incident). Free FM played JV and Elvis "best of" for a few weeks and eventually replaced them with a hack by the name of Larry Wax.

Fast forward to today - O&A was on until 9:00 AM, when weird music and voices started playing, telling the listener to tune in at 5:00 PM. I had already anticipated that Free FM was going to change their format due to the fact that you can't have a talk show when you can't talk about anything. Guess what? They're changing their format back to K Rock - how original.

I guess the point I'm getting to is:
Congratulations NBC - you folded like the politically correct bunch of pussies you are.

Enjoy your "new" format - I won't be joining you.

OK, so I bought a domain. You're here, so you know what it is - that's the first step.

I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing with this at this point, but I guess I want it to be a little bit of a "blog." Everyone else has a blog, why can't I?

In the coming months, you will see:

- Improved web design
- Some form of content
- Whatever
