I guess we should post something.. for some reason... writing exercise

But yet if it was a writing exercise then why would I be about to tell the legions of "super robertson Chronicles" readers about my attempt to understand the 100.5 peak performance Project application agreements. Don't get me wrong this radio station is a great station... coming from a guy who's kid fucked the CD player in the car so therefore i am stuck with local radio... so if CBC isn't working for me i tune into the Peak and the twins start rocking.

If you enter into this project... which would essentially help you gain traction as a legitimate artist (a good thing). But there is something about reading a long legal document that really gets the paranoia flowing... i mean i understand that somebody is pouring a lot of money into this machine, and so they need that machine to produce what they built it for.

It could make a good reality TV series... Super Robertson and aging failure leaves his wife and family of 3 small girls to attend a week long rock and roll boot camp to be trained in the areas of stage performance, songwriting, online and traditional publicity, promotion and marketing, tour planning, introduction to music law and business, funding, media training and other development topics. But then we all think that our lives would make good copy... why not EH!

I'm sure it would be a good time, when i was a kid went to camp and in high school I was given the opportunity to go to leadership camp and then i was a camp counsellor as a young adult. Camps give you the rare opportunity of a community isolated... you eat together, you do activities together and then at night you are together... this all happens for a period of time and you develop a special camaraderie with the crew.

I was also a Junior Ranger for one summer and i remember our foreman "Douglas Semour Telford Coleman", when he picked us up from the train station in Cochraine Ontario said "yea you see a lot of shy faces at the beginning but you don't see any dry eyes at the end". I wonder how Doug is? it was a long time ago... One of the great tragedies of life in Canada was the cancellation of the Junior Ranger program... all those 17 year old's without that opportunity... well at least we have the Olympics coming to our world class city.
