I Voted!
Thursday, October 30th, 2008 @ 9:07AM
I voted early ... finally.
It was crowded, there was a line that stretched all the way through the new Centerville library, and I had to wait in line for about 30 minutes to get it done. But I did it. I had to stand next to a giant Winnie the Pooh in the kids section for a several minutes. I almost wrote him in for President. This is one of those situations where the country is in a bit of a crucial turning point and voicing your opinion on the matter is very important. I’ve never seen a turnout like this before. Election officials are encouraging us to vote early if you can to avoid long lines on Tuesday. For information go to http://www.leaveyourprint.com and it will tell you how to vote early. It won’t tell you who to vote for, and neither will I. That’s up to you. But I think you know who I like.

Voting early was insane!

It was extremely crowded!
If you’ve been hearing about a huge turnout of voters this year, it appears to be true. Certain counties are allowing registered voters to vote early, and for more information you can go to http://www.leaveyourprint.com to find out how and where you can vote early. Mrs. Nukey and I attempted that last night at the Centerville library, but the parking lot was completely full and there was a huge line. We decided to try again tomorrow night since Tuesday was the first time that location was open until 8pm. After aborting our attempt at voting, we ended up at the Chilis down the street. I had the new country fried chicken crispers, and those were delicious! I love Chilis a little too much.
While we were sitting at our table a kid approached us and asked, “You’re Todd Nuke ‘Em, aren’t you?” I told him that I indeed am, and he asked for an autograph and a photo. I thought it was awesome that he dared to approach me and ask. And if you ever see me around town, please say hi to me. If it weren’t for people like the kid from last night who listen to X96 and appreciate the idiots who are on the radio, I’d have to get a real job. Anyway, the kid’s name is Nate and I lifted the picture from his myspace page this morning.
I only wish my face was covered with buffalo wing sauce.

I’m voting early today!

(Hopefully.)
A record number of voters is predicted on Election Day one week from today, so I’m going to attempt to take advantage of the option of voting early. You can get all the information about this on http://www.leaveyourprint.com, which is a website set up by the State of Utah and is completely informative and unbiased. I wonder how crowded it will be tonight when I try to vote. I voted in the presidential primaries and that was extremely crowded. If you’re a registered voter, look into this option. I’ll update you on tomorrow’s blog about the voting early experience.
I wonder what happens if the presidential candidate I select ends up coming out as a horrible criminal after I vote for him. I shouldn’t worry. There have never been any politicians who turn out to be criminals.

My killer new hat!
Monday, October 27th, 2008 @ 12:55PM
Like my new hat? It’s been quite a while since I went shopping for clothing. Yesterday my wife took me to Fashion Place and then turned me loose in the Van’s Store. There, I fell in love with this hat. I look forward to a long relationship with this hat where it will be soaked in my head-sweat for years to come. I love the Van’s Store.

Pictures with Carlos Boozer!

He's the tall one. I'm the short nerdy guy.
This was at Monday night’s Powerade event at the Harrisville Wal*Mart. We had about a thousand people on hand to meet Mr. Boozer. It was great to meet everyone, and Carlos Boozer was completely cool, too. He made sure that he got to shoot some hoops with the kids from the Boys and Girls’s Club and he signed as many autographs as he could. He was one of the nicest celebrities I’ve had the opportunity to meet.

Me, Plain White T's, Corey O'Brien
The guys from Plain White T’s came to the studio last week when they were in town and were gracious enough to give Corey and me a couple of signed gold record plaques. Radio stations used to get this kind of thing a lot, but with record labels cutting expenses, it has all but ceased. But Plain White T’s were cool enough to show their appreciation since X96 was one of the first stations in the country to play them. We only played them because you asked us to, so this is for you as well.

The best Canadian import ever!
Do not attempt any of the stuff you see on David’s Farm. It’s my favorite Youtube channel ever! I love Canadian rednecks!

X96 Nightmare Before Xmas concert anyone?
Friday, October 17th, 2008 @ 1:07PM
I'm working on another possible Xmas concert.
We had a good time at last year’s first ever X96 Nightmare Before Xmas concert that I’m doing everything possible to try it all again. You remember, don’t you? Lots of free tickets and the rest were $9.60. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
I’ll keep you posted. I hope it works out.
