| 002: Sleep Schedule |
[20 Dec 2007|05:19pm] |
Alright, so I can't get to sleep, I don't know if it is because Christmas is coming or the fact that someone doesn't know how to use headphones when someone wants to sleep. I'm looking at you Gretchen. For those that don't know my sleep schedule yet, for the most part, things always change. I fall asleep anywhere from 11 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon, sleep til 5-8 in the evening depending on what time I go to sleep. Sometimes, I do decide to be normal and go to sleep at night that is only if I strike out in my goal for the day.
I end up going to work around 4 or 5 in the morning to get ready for the morning show. I usually try to wait for Gretchen to roll out of bed. Actually, its usually Lucas and I that wait for her to be ready to go. Its actually the only time in the day that we actually spend time together talking about stuff unless we have no plans later that evening then we'll hang out. Once Gretchen leaves her room, we all go get coffee and talk about what we are going to talk about on the show that day.
By the way, my favorite segment on the show is called, "What did Derek do last night?" It usually entails my sex life which makes the female listeners want to call in and see where I will be. They think I go everywhere around the whole city but really, I just go down to Chris's bar and chill down there.
Now, I'm going to try to take a nap, lets see how long it will take for me to fall asleep.

Its funny how you can be on top of the world in high school. The captain in three sports, soccer, basketball, and baseball. The guy that dates the captain of the cheerleading team. Yes, that sounds odd considering that this guy is not the star quarterback of the football team. It doesn't help to think that the football team sucked and soccer was the in sport. They were both prom king and queen and destined to be together forever. Then one day out of the blue, he finds out that she cheated on him and that she wanted to end it. He was devastated and went on to the University of Washington by himself.
Story sounds cliche, doesn't it? Yeah, I know, it did happen to me and I'm not one to keep on bringing up the past, especially a past that happened 10 years ago. The first thing I hear is "get over it man". I respond to them, that I am over it. Sure, I haven't loved anyone since then and that doesn't stop me from going out and having one night stands with beautiful women. When I say beautiful women, I'm not talking about the cute 21 year old waitress who is working at the diner. I'm talking drop dead gorgeous, girls who you can't wait to strip their clothes off and just fuck the living shit out of them. How about that for a visual in your head. It brought me back to this saucy redhead from last night, her name was Mandy, or was it Brandy, maybe it was Jessica. I can't remember, I'll probably never see her again.
It does not make me, what is the term? "Manwhore". Hell, maybe it does but I don't want to be known as that. I want to be known as "That guy from last night who I'll never forget." That is what each lady will be saying. I'm also a little cocky if you can't tell but that is how I am so successful in my given profession. I should make mention to that. I'm a radio DJ and no its not for a late night sex chat either. I do morning drive baby. That doesn't mean there are billboards all over Seattle with my face on it. I must say our show does kick ass and I do have to give some credit to my co-host and radio producer.
Would it be a far-fetched idea to tell you that I don't live alone? I don't, I live with the two people I just mentioned. Yep, there are times that they hate me especially when we get home and my previous night's affair is still in my bed. I get the utter look of death from both of them. Did I make mention that my co-host is one of the opposite sex? One that I haven't slept with. I figured it wouldn't make sense to have a one night stand with her considering that I live with her and I work with her. Seriously, I like to consider her one of my only friends that is a woman. The radio producer, well he is my best friend and he does make me sound good through the airwaves.
I feel like I haven't said anything about my family. I do have one of thoses and it consists of a mother and a father. I have 2 siblings, one is a brother and the other is a sister. I'm not one to make their names public because well I don't see the point. I hailed from eastern part of Washington which is about a 4 hour drive. I wanted to get out of the small time and into the big time. It is how I got to the University of Washington where me and the bitch were going to attend. Yeah, I'm still a little bitter over it.
I majored in Communications for 2 years before I dropped out but I was one of the many voices on Rainydawg Radio. Its how I realized that this is what I wanted to do, to be able to communicate with the masses. I then got an internship at The Mountain 103.7 after my second year which is before I dropped out and I was basically the office bitch. I went and got coffee, lunch, dinner, breakfast, condoms, and air fresheners. Don't ask about the last one, the guy that worked late night was a big, fat, smelly guy who was funny as hell which is why he kept his job. He ended up getting fired for some sexual harassment suit with one of the interns on the marketing team. I took over his job and I just rambled on all night long and I found my niche. I enjoyed working late night, usually I would hit up the bar scene and then go into work with a buzz on. The radio station liked it as long as I didn't break any FCC laws which I wasn't that drunk to do that. I didn't want to get fired. After a few years or maybe 5, I got a job on the morning crew. I was still living on campus until I was forced out by the university, I'm surprised I was able to last that long. The morning crew ended up hitting it even big and was offered a job down in Los Angeles. My bosses offered me one of the roles and I accepted and the rest was history.
I guess that brings me here today, its actually a rare night in. Well, it was Thanksgiving and I actually spent it with my new family which are the people I live with. I'm really happy that I have friends like them in my life even if I do get on their nerves with my late night indiscrections. I'll let this soak in for everyone to enjoy. D-Rock is out.

His smile is the thing that draws interest to him but it’s his personality that keeps them coming back for more. Derek is someone who seems to get attention without having to do much. He flashes his smile at every attractive girl that walks by showing his dimples and when he turns around to check whatever girl it is, he always catches her turned around showcasing a smile back at him.
However, Derek is more than just a handsome face, as he also likes to engage in meaningful conversation. Meaningful conversation to him is not world politics but more of the different facets of music. He has always loved music and picking up a guitar was one of the first things he did growing up.
Ever since he was a young boy, he could always bust out a tune in his head and start to work on it with his guitar. However, he is not one to sit in a park and start to play his acoustic guitar to pick up women, as he doesn’t need it. Derek doesn’t consider himself as a cocky person, someone who is just confident in life and is living his dream.
If there is one downfall in Derek’s mind is that he is too afraid of love. Stemming back to a situation in high school where he had his heart broken, never again did he say that he would love again. He realized he can love himself and in order to continue to love him, that sex with a different girl could be a way he could provide love to himself.
Of course, not everyone knows this about Derek so he is often seen as the dream guy. A guy that women want to be with and a guy that guys want to be. They don’t know about that one flaw that most women want in a man, someone that will love them back. He will never say, “I love you” when a woman says it to him. At that point, he realizes he has gotten too far and will delete that woman from his cell phone.
He is someone who would prefer to spend his nights at a bar with some friends when there isn’t a woman with his eye on at the place, you can often see him near the pool table and a pitcher of Coors Light by his side. He puts enough money in the jukebox so he listens to his music the whole time he is there.
