Politics, hot chicks, or the stupid stuff that people say to him are all things that he's bound to talk about at some point.en-usCopyright 2012, WXRX-FMFri, 24 May 2013 21:18:03 GMTWed, 15 Aug 2012 11:31:13 GMT1http://emmisinteractive.comJust can't get enough of Katy Perry! http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10416169http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10416169Wed, 15 Aug 2012 11:31:13 GMTIn my years of doing radio I have had the opportunity to to meet almost all of my music heroes and get a quick picture with them.  It is commonly called a Meet & Greet.  You don't hang out, you just get a photo, autograph, say hello and move on about your business.  I have hung around and met some great artists that truyly meant a lot to me.  Aerosmith, Kiss, Van Halen (with Sammy Hagar) Bob Seger, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, DMC of Run DMC,  and the list goes on and on. Those Meet & Greets pale in comparison to the M & G I had this past Saturday Night. Every weekend, I have the privelege of getting new motorcylce from Kegel Harley Davidson, so I hopped on the 2012 Road King and headed south on I-39.  I was just north of Bloomington Normal when I hit a real ...http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10397844http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10397844Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:26:04 GMT  I got the email I had been waiting for.  I haven't been writing about my journey and search lately.  It was starting to become a little too real.  It was like I was talking about a mythical figure, someone that didn't really exist.  The past week has made it very real,  real for me and real for my family.  I talked about riding up to a certain woman’s front door to ask, knowing full well that I wouldn't.  I wanted to, I wanted to badly, but I knew that would go against the rules I had laid out for myself when I started this.  Be Respectful. Last Saturday I got an email from a woman that I had contacted, it was very simple and guarded.  Basically, just saying that she had given up a baby boy for adoption.  I got all excited This HAS to be her.  I quickly ...http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10394672http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10394672Thu, 14 Jun 2012 15:57:37 GMTI have joked that my entire existience is nothing more the a government perpetrateed fraud.  The Birth certificate that I grew up with, was obviously not real due to my adoption, but heck we knew that.  Now is where the fraud comes in:  My original birth certificate is nothing but a fraud as well.  I found out that the only thing I really wanted to know...my real name which is listed as Johns, on my Birth Certificate, is not my Birth Mother's real name.  Hey isn't that handy.  St Johns Hospital, the doctor who delivered me was named John.  People had mentioned it, but I didn't think it was possible.  So now I am back to square one.  I have nothing.   IN my last blog, I wrote that I didn't think Norene Johns existed, turns out she doesn't.     Seems that the informant (the person who handles the ...http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10388748http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10388748Tue, 12 Jun 2012 09:50:26 GMTIt has been almost 2 weeks since I got a copy of my original birth certificate.  My official name was "Baby Boy Johns".   I have been completely obsessed with finding my birth mother.  I guess it is a feeling that is natural, but it has been overwhelming.  I have spent hours in front of a computer looking at the same pictures, following the same leads.  They all lead me to 2 conclusions... 1.) The woman I thought could be my mother, that we contacted, actually is my birth mother but isn't ready to deal with it or 2.) The woman on my birth certificate doesn't exist.   Let's deal with option 2.  I have searched and searched for a woman named Norene Johns who would have been born in  California in 1948 or 1949.  There is absolutey no record of her.  There are only 2 Norene Johns that I ...http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10383462http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10383462Tue, 12 Jun 2012 09:49:17 GMT...the waiting is the hardest part.  That is where I am today.  Waiting.  I realized compared to most people who have been through this, my journey has been relatively short up to this point.  It has in reality only been a little over a month, but it feels like a lifetime.   There have been phone calls made and messages left, not by me, no answer, no response.  Tuwday I put a "certified letter" in the mail.  It should be delivered today.  I have been tracking it diligently.  It was accepted in Rockford June 5 @ 2:13 pm.  Went to the sort facility @ 7:16pm.  Arrived in the destination city this morning @ 6:02.  The next update I should get should tell me who signed for it.  That is what I am waiting for. If things go the way I would hope, I would know if it was delivered to ...http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10391276http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10391276Thu, 07 Jun 2012 16:25:24 GMTI want to begin by saying thanks to everyone who has sent along their best wishes.  It has been truly overwhelming.  I have enjoyed each and every email.  Sorry for the randomness of the thoughts, but I can't seem to put a decent group of thoughts together.   Weird.  That is the only word I can use to describe the past few days.    Once I found out that my birth certificate was a partial fabrication, there were parts of it that were real.  Oddly enough, there was enough information to track it down to one person and one person only.  I have seen her high school yearbook photo, I have asked people what they think and everybody agrees it looks a lot like me.  Matter of fact, I am looking at her picture as I write this. I feel so numb about it and that kind of scares me.  ...http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10389544http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10389544Mon, 04 Jun 2012 01:46:16 GMTI ran home from work around 11:30 or so yesterday, wondering if my original birth certificate would be in the mail.  Sure enough, it was.     It was odd, because my dad called me today.  As I was driving home we talked on the phone about all sorts of things, wehn I finally informed him I thought my paperwork would be at home when I got there.  The longer we talked, the closer I got.  I knew I wanted him to be the person that was with me when I opened the envelope.   I got the envelope, opened it up and there it was.  My real name.  I was simply named "Baby Boy J####"  I don't want to give away the name, it is still just a little too private.  I found myself talking about it and searching the mothers name on the Google machine, when I found ...http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10379211http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10379211Wed, 02 May 2012 19:47:13 GMTI know it has to be there.  I was pretty sure yesterday was the day, but it wasn't.  It has to be today.  Many people will say "I have waited my whole life" and they are full of crap.  I can literally say " I have waited my whole life" to find out who I really am and today could be that day.   I was adopted as an infant and have never always been told my records we sealed.  I am pretty sure my original birth certificate will be in the mail when I get hom today.  All of these years and today I could find out what my name would have been.  What my birth mothers name is how old she was.  I have thought of this and had ideas, but today I may see if any of those thoughts are real.   It is crazy, I don't ...http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10379038http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10379038Wed, 02 May 2012 14:45:18 GMTI know about the new adoption laws and information because of Paul Youngblood from 100.5 NTA-FM.  He was adopted and has kind of guided be through this process.  He has gone through it himself. I got a message from Paul the other day telling me he had some more information concerning the new Illinois laws, so I gave him a call.  Paul informed me of a person he know who had sent in their information and had already gotten their Birth Certificate back and had started down the road of finding their birth parents.  It got me to wondering, “did they even receive my stuff”?  “Did I send it to the correct place?” After a quick call to AT&T direct connect I was on the phone with the Illinois Department of Public Health.  After going through a plethora of press 1 for this and press 2 for that I finally ...http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10340067http://www.wxrx.com/Blogs/TheStoneAge/blogentry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10340067Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:59:22 GMT
