I really enjoy blogging, although I don’t very often. I forget about it in middle of grad. school and other life stuff.
As I sit here on Lundi Gras 2010, an empty day out of my normally crazed schedule, I am hopeful. I will finish coursework for a PhD in Mass Communication by June. I feel good about my dissertation topic, and I am hopeful to be able to knock that book out of the park by the end of summer 2011. After that, I will be very ready to start the job process and teach somewhere – hopefully that will be a reality. I had considered getting a M.S. in Public Relations after I finish the PhD, but to hell with any more school. I was thinking just the other day how ready I am to actually teach again and not research, read, or think about anything for an assessment of some sort.
I don’t really have any agenda for writing – just thought I’d update the blog.
I did start hosting a radio show at The University of Southern Mississippi’s radio station, WUSM 88.5; www.southernmissradio.com on the ‘net”: Funky Like Collard Greens. The show has a focus of funk music and old soul music, genres sadly missing from anyplace in the market, so it fills a niche. The first show was Feb. 12, and it went very well – some good initial feedback, and the hope is that it will grow exponentially as people discover the show by word of mouth or serendipity.
Anyway, write if you get work, smoke ‘em if you got ‘em, and all of that other sign-off stuff.
