Welcome to Hampton Roads,VA
Yipee. You totally made a great choice for your vacation. Oh not coming here to relax? Probably a better choice. So someone wanted to know what we're known for. Well....you may notknow this but we have been in the news A LOT lately. So let's get into it shall we???

Which City Is The Least WACK?

The Seven Cities
Well I was going to list them in order from best to worst....but all 7 suck in their own ways. Instead I'm just going to list them....no particular order with something about each city.
- Williamsburg- InBev Gardens and Colonial Williamsburg are two big attractions to the Burg. The College of William and Mary is also here.
- Newport News- Um..... Christopher Newport University.....and uhh....downtown. Referred to often as "Bad News"...youdo the math.
- Hampton- Psh. You have Hampton University. The Coliseum. Buckroe Beach? Grandview's nice.
- Suffolk- Nothing like nothing.
- Chesapeake- This was a bad idea.
- Norfolk- Old Dominion University, The Scope, a pretty decent nightlife downtown.
- Virginia Beach- The Oceanfront.....the Amphitheater.
Yeah......not such a good idea. I don't like any of these places really...so why would I write about them?
The Weather
The weather here is nothing short of garbage. Starting with the winter.....it can get down into the 20's here, but traditionally it's about 35 or better. Cold has never and will never bother me except in this dumb state where snowfall is rare. It's snowed thrice this year to a total accumulation of 0 inches. Springtime for Virginia is nice. Beautiful scenery, sweet breeze, warm not hot temperatures. The thing that sucks about spring here is how short it is. It seems to be over in thre weeks or so....and it gives way to summer. Virginia's summers are lame. Brutally hot and ridiulously humid. If you love the beach then Virginia is great....head on over to VA Beach or to Buckroe and chill.....otherwise summer sucks. Autumn. Fall is pretty non existent here. You might get a week or two of cooler temps and wind but normally it seems you get an extended summer or an early winter. There you have it.

Inhabitants
Well...there's haters....and they say Virginia is for lovers so there must be some somewhere. I met a lot of great people here. Here are some of them.
Do You Want the Hulkster Back On The Air?
See results without votingThe Mike and Bob Show
Here's where I made a uh.....name?......for myself. As the voice of the Mike and Bob Show's Hulkster. Why else would my articles be called the Real Truth? Mike Powers and Bob Fresh. Hey look, I might not be on the show much anymore, and we don't talk very often, BUT......I know that if I showed up at the 96X studio or called in during a topi, I would get the same warm and welcome reception I always have....and I'm fairly certain I always will. Nick Chappell and I have almost been arrested.....or at least it felt like we were going to.....several times together. Slightly Overweight Richie Cunningham and I haven't had much interaction but he's good people and from what I hear he works hard. (Lies?) Moustache....man this dude and I had an epic boxing match.....and a few months after we were getting wasted together like it never happened. Webby, Eugene's Brother, Kevin..... well not so much Kevin, Sleepy, Thad, 3rd Grade, the boys at Croc Rocks.....which leads to the next person on the list.
The Silver Fox Alfredo Torres
What can I say about this guy? Geez. We met and became friends on the Mike and Bob Show...where often times it ended up the two of us on one side of the argument and Mike and Bob on the other. From there he invited me onto his show the Debacle. This is where we truly shined....albeit off the mic sometimes. We would talk music, life, broads.....whatever. It always worked out. He's doing A LOT of good work for the local music scene, including hosting a show called The Locals Lounge on Max FM. He has extended an open invitation to me to come join him on his show (I want to so bad) but for some reason have not taken him up on it yet.

The Legendary Bastards
Well.....if I were to make a seperate paragraph for each friend who was included in this group it would take a week or so. The Legendary Bastards are my closest circle of friends. The ones I consider blood. We say what we want to who we want, when we want......we drink...and then replace drinking with drinking. We beat dead horses, shit on floors, and raise hell if someone shits on your bed. It's just what we do. You can find all of these guys on my top friends on MySpace but I'll link a few of them. D.J, Rob, Ron, Plummer, Timmy, Hickey, JoeMon, and although they are now in different states John Martin, Durso, the Vulkster, and JSelb. We are who we are. Like it or dont.
My Family
Suffice it to say if I never moved here, I never would've met my wife and who knows if I'd even be alive at this point without her. Of course if I never met my wife, then her and I never would have had beautiful Isabelle together. My dad and sister still live here and I now have In-laws, father, mother,brother, and sister. Even Kristin admits that we'd probably move if it wasn't for family being here.
