First things first...my music show is on Tuesday Nights 11pm-1am eastern on www.wrir.org or 97.3FM in Richmond. My AIM screen name is wrirdjDustin.
Ok, so, what about me? Seems to be the question of my life, i suppose. So in case you don't know me (and if you don't...not to pry, but how the hell did you end up here?), I'm kinda in a period of transition in my life--a cliche, yes, but I guess it's the way it should always be right? I mean otherwise, you're in a rut. Or maybe you are doing exactly what you want to be doing; in which case, congrats! But for me, anyway, I'm continuing my life-long quest to do any and everything that I've always wanted to do.
Here are some things that I've tried:
I was a chef/cook for about 15 years. I loved it, but HAD to leave it...
A few years ago I helped build a radio station. I am very proud of this achievement...
Among the many things I've done with the radio station, I was the star reporter/producer for a radio newsmagazine show. Last election, I even got to contribute to the natonal network feed (that means I went coast to coast!)... I also have done voice-over work for a series that has gone international...
I've lobbied Senators and the FCC in DC... I've landed a job as a Communications Technician for Comcast (not just your old cable guy anymore!), thus ending my long tenure chained to a stove...
I am a DJ at the above-mentioned radio station. Hey, It's cool and it's fun!...
So where am i headed next? The short answer? I dunno. The long answer contains mixed metaphors and pinings for Cincinnatus-like greatness/humility, so i will not go into it now. Headed to VCU next...maybe I'll get back into Jounalism or even PR...Who knows? Suffice to say that my story ain't over yet.
More about me:
I am always a little sad inside.
I don't get hungry--ever.
I wish there were still milkmen.
I own and use a Fountain Pen.
I know a little bit about everything.
I know a lot about very few things.
I've almost died.
I overcompensate for my once-crippling shyness by forcing confidence.
Everything is my fault.
I come from a huge family that I miss terribly.
I make up for this by loving/treating all of my friends like family.
I'm corny, hokey, and old fashioned.
I've accomplished almost everything I've really tried to do.
It is rare that I REALLY try to accomplish things.
I am a taoist.
I believe in God, but I'm not sure which one.
I also actually believe in demigods (curse you, Vulcan!)
My true love is my love of learning.
I've met a bunch of famous people.
I'm kinda famous (by google standards), but not as famous as a bunch of other Dustin Richardsons.
I never lie on purpose.
The last item is true.
I think the worst thing to be is a hippocrite.
I have trouble spelling sometimes.
I am proud of who I am.
I wonder if that makes a difference.
I do not fear death.
I'm always kinda happy inside, too.
