Jay Thomas vs. The Phat Beats at Five

Let me preface this blog by saying something I may have said before--I'm shy.  I'm very shy.  Odd I realize considering the profession I'm in but never the less, I'm super shy.  So shy in fact, I won't even order a pizza over the phone if someone else is in the room with me.  I won't yell out windows if I'm in the car and trying to get someone's attention. 

Winters in Iowa can be very cold.  This year, we(Iowans) have been pretty lucky.  That said, it's still colder than the Penguin's lair in Batman Returns!(non nerds--It's a bit chilly)  What you have to do is start your vehicle in the morning so it can warm up.

This morning, I woke up, and started the van.  As I get into the bathroom to take my morning shower, I hear this loud thumping bass.  I think to myself, who is the jackass that is driving SLOWLY through the alley at 4:50am!  What an A-Hole, he's going to wake everyone up!  As I start the water in the shower, go pee, and strip very sexily( I know, I looked), I notice the sound is still there and the song has now changed.

Then it hits me...IT'S MY VAN HEATING UP!  How could this happen?!  I don't remember listening to the radio that loud.  Wait a minute...we didn't take the van out yesterday BUT Shanna did Saturday night.  It would seem that on the way home from a Christmas party she decided to "get down" to SHADE 45 on Sirious/XM.  Not sure what that is?  Well let me inform you.  Shade 45 is EMINEM's radio station.  ALL RAP, ALL THE TIME! With all the fun naughty words playing completely unedited 24/7.

My wife, the rebel. 

I don't mind listening to Shade 45, I actually like it a lot of the time.  At 5 AM, however, I'm not a big fan.  Especially since my personality doesn't feel comfortable drawing attention to myself.  Now MY van is BLARING SHADE 45 AS LOUD AS THE VAN ALLOWS.  All I could do was wait for it to shut off.  It's possible I can remote shut off the van but as of this blog, I don't know how to do it.

I felt awful.  I guess it could be worse...it could have been the Playboy channel or Martha Stewart.  Ew sorry, I forgot the rule...never put Playboy and Martha Stewart in the same sentence.  It will never happen again.
