Dissect My Brain TEST STRIP #9: "Do the Wrong Thing."

This is the final test strip before making the jump to the Union Weekly. This one is almost lifted exactly from real life events, except I'm pretty sure Angelo didn't say: "Don't do it!" There's not much to say about this other than my tenure at kbeach at CSULB was a frustrating time. They didn't trust most of the DJs with the keys to the radio station, and often getting inside meant being lucky was still in there before your show. . . which was rare. One day, I was fed up with it and decide to reenact the famous scene from Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing.

I think the extended version would include me trying to kick the door down and smashing wood planks on the knob. Eventually I got in to do my radio show, but it took locating and finding a janitor. I would eventually leave kbeach over creative differences and overall lack of management and direction. I put a lot of hard work into my show, and it felt great when people told me how much they enjoyed it. However, in the end, it was just a hobby to me and management nonsense made it not worth it.
