I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a music lover... I eat, sleep & breathe music for it is my life. I sometimes even bathe in music, however it doesn't quite do the same job as conventional water... Weird... I try to be artsy fartsy... But I'd probably classify my design work as more functional than fashionable. I'm currently the media/graphic designer for Cumulus Broadcast and I moon light as a weeknight radio DJ on ROCK 97.9 NRQ.I drink way too much coffee and my guilty pleasure is pop punk or as one of my friends call it, "14 year old girl pop rock".
Feel free to IM me whenever too: JHend42

Music is my refuge...

I hate to say it, but I completely take for granted what I do for a living. I got into radio 4 years ago now to be apart of what I truly love and am passionate about... Though strides have been made...

I Was Doomed From The Start...

Restored Hope...

Disappointing shows can sometimes can be the biggest buzz kill...Last night was not the case though at the David Bazan show! How refreshing is truth and candidness. Lots of new material mixed ...

I Can’t Wait For The Afterglow...

It's always a very distinct feeling of anxiousness for me before a show whether it's playing, putting one on, or even going to one that I'm really stoked for...And it's definitely an incomparable feel...

I’m lookin’ to punch "bordom" in the face and not feel bad about it...

I'm definitely in need of some adventure right now... Of course, adventure aside from the usual going out and a having a drink, which I don't actually consider adventure at all... Hm...Perhaps, I sh...

Slightly Off Centered

I suppose it's not completely unexpected but these past couple of days I've felt a little out of stride... Being the OCD person that I am, I love routine. I enjoy doing some of the same things daily...
