When I was about 8 or 9 I won my first radio contest. It was a 6-pack of Apple Slice – a fruit flavored soda that doesn’t exist anymore. From the moment I was handed my prize, I knew I wanted to be the guy who gave out free stuff on the radio. I’m married and have 3 kids so that’s the life I lead while they’re all awake. But, as soon as they’re all in bed, that’s when I revert to my 19 year old self and play video games, drink Mountain Dew and eat buffalo wings until my eyelids give up on me. I thrive on anything weird and oddly enough, I also really love to cook. Let me rephrase that – I love watching the Food Network and think I know how to cook. I haven’t poisoned myself or my family yet so I think I’m in the clear. I'm an 80s protege so if you ever want to remissness on the decade of awesomeness, or just want to talk about cooking, video games or whatever, definitely drop me an email. And if you're on PSN: @johnblueriggs  so we can play online together

Minimum Wage Wasn’t Always $9 an Hour – John’s Minimum Wage Jobs

I just found out that Washington state has the highest paid minimum wage in the United States. $9.04 an hour. Over nine bucks an hour! Not that I'm that old, but in my day, my first minimum wage job paid four bucks an hour. Basically, what I'm saying is if you're working a minimum wage job and complain about how much you're paid, shut it! It did get me thinking about my previous minimum wage jobs. Here's where I used to work - who knows, maybe we met here once upon a time and didn't realize it.
