Beloved Connecticut radio station goes off the air today

-
For those of you here in Connecticut, you probably grew up listening to The Rock 106.9 WCCC. It is the 'go to' station for the best in classic and modern rock.
If you are on their Facebook page or if you listen to the station on your way to and from work, you have probably heard the devastating news: Today is their last day 'on the air.'

The station had been owned by Marlin Broadcasting since 1998, but was recently sold to a non-profit organization that specializes in adult contemporary Christian Rock music. All the WCCC staff was "let go."

Yep. Christian Rock. The station that single-handedly launched Howard Stern's career is going to be playing Church music.
Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't it unholy to 'let go' of an awesome staff with such little notice? How can this non-profit organization sleep at night knowing that these people will be out of a job? Do they feel good about what they've done? Do they feel good that they've pissed off hundreds of thousands of loyal WCCC fans? No one wants to listen to Christian Rock! Connecticut already has a Christian station: it's 104.9.

I have listened to WCCC on and off since my teenage years. I remember listening to Howard Stern back in the day.
Last year, I interviewed to become a part of WCCC's internship. I didn't get it because I was dealing with severe back pain.

I will miss listening to the station. I can't believe that WCCC is going to be gone in less than four hours. If you're in the Connecticut area, please give a listen to 106.9 WCCC to pay your respects. You have until 5pm!

RIP The Rock 106.9. I will miss your fine ass! Christian Rock can go suck my left one! Ain't nobody got time for that shit! This new station is not going to do well. I give it 6 months and they will go off the air. No one is going to listen to it.

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

Why TNT did not air the season premiere of "The Last Ship."

Photo credit: screenrant Fans who were awaiting the season premiere of "The Last Ship" last night were met with disappointment. TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn...

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion....
