This show, I must admit was the best we have had since we began about a month ago. Words could not describe our appreciation for your time.
Both Spaceman Stuckey and I had a shitty week, I felt a bit homesick and angry for no reason but I am glad it is over, the show really made it better, I mean way much better
Our topics for this week were: The Church of Scientology, Homosexual protests, and Eggo waffles.
My views on Scientology: It's a cult, nothing else. No joke. For a "church" that doesn't want to tell you what they are about unless you give them your salary and join, well that doesn't make them a church. I'm not a Buddhist but I know what they're all about, I'm not a Muslim, but I love their principles. But info always leaks and although we may not know what the Church of Scientology exactly promotes, we'd say they are pretty ignorant and stupid. Even worse, sending a poor 19 year old boy to jail for a year and charging him 35K for hacking into their website. The videos on their website are already pretty pointless and they make me laugh because they are just so unrealistic so why couldn't a poor boy mess a bit on your site and give viewers a good laugh? After all, didn't the lawsuit give you more hits on your site? You are all fucking idiots, I don't care what people say, Scientology is not a religion, it's a fucking cult if it were I would not be sitting here and insulting something of that nature.
This week a protest against and for homosexuality went down on Wavery avenue. Although it was a peaceful protest I have to say that people should keep their religious views to themselves. I'm glad the Christian family has feelings but coming out on the street and telling the entire campus of Syracuse University that homosexuality is a sin is not really having feelings at all. Isn't Christianity about promoting love? You telling people they are going to hell is not exactly love. Juuuust saying. Please return to your place of worship and tell the others who believe the same thing how ignorant you are. Not once have I gone out on the street to tell people to their faces, people who didn't choose to be gay or lesbian or whatever else. Love is about accepting and respecting, not bashin' and hatin'.
Last and final on our topic list: Eggo waffle shortage.
If you are a music student at SU, you obviously got the lovely weekly email from our own concert coordinator Amy. At the bottom read the sad news that Eggo would have a shortage of waffles until the SUMMER of 2010. Bizarre eh? Apparently 2 of the 4 Eggo plants in the country were flooded and so it will take some for the damages to be repaired. Sad I know, but together we can make it through. Though, I'm not that big on Eggo waffles, the dining hall will be here for me until the summer and that is when life should return to normality.
Before our show ended we had a little Lady Gaga sing-along contest. 4 participated and only 1 got the 1st place prize. Justin Shuma from Virginia rocked them pipes and won himself a 5 dollar Amazon gift card.
We beat our goal for the number of listeners, and it was all thanks to y'all. I wish I could explain how much I appreciate you for jumping on the Spaceship Ride to the Jungle. If it weren't for your input, none of this could have been possible.
Last thing before I peace out for the holidays, if you have not joined our Facebook group, do it! Just search The Spaceship Ride to the Jungle- werw 1570am.
Los quiero.
