Happy New Year: The Year In Review

So, it is 4:14PM eastern time as I am typing right now and I wanted to reflect on some things that have happened in 2011 and hopefully predict some things for 2012. It has been a crazy year and somewhat of a let down year for me.

The plus side of the year was that I had the opportunity to do some new things in 2011 for my TV show "The Monster Hour". I did some interviews at the Boston World of Wheels where I was able to interview Butch 'Eddie Munster" Patrick and Jonathan Hillstrand of Discovery Channel's The Deadliest Catch. It was the first time I interviewed a person that was not in a rock band. I had some letdowns in the year when it came to the Vans Warped Tour (issues with the PR company) and the 2011 Mayhem Festival (No cameraman for this one). I made it all up with some interviews at the 2011 Rockstar Uproar Festival. I was able to interview Steven from Black Tide, Hell Or Highwater, and Lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust. The rest of the year fizzled out in the shitter when it came to interviews and that certainly pissed me off. Overall, it was a decent year for The Monster Hour and I hope 2012 will give me the reason I need not to say, "Screw The Show". I can only hope!

2011 was a decent year for my radio show at Bridgewater State Universities WBIM which is called "Pedal To The Metal". I crossed into new territories with that show that I never imagined would ever happen to me. I was able to do phone interviews with Playboy playmates, Michael Sweet of Stryper, DK Revelle of Jetboy, Louis St. August of Mass, Doro Pesch, and Robert Mason of Warrant. I suffered a little bit of the same fate of the Monster Hour with this show when it came to interviews after a while, but I'm optimistic for the new year. I really enjoy doing this show a lot and it was a passion that I had been missing for a while. I didn't feel I was getting jaded towards this like I did for The Monster Hour.

I'm a very honest person and sometimes the things I say do not come with a filter. Maybe, that is a bad trait that I possess or maybe it's a good thing. I feel like I should be honest to whatever fan base I have if there even is one. I really do hope that 2012 will be a bigger year for me. So, I say drink up tonight, have some fun, and be safe. I want to see everyone in 2012. Happy New Year!!!
