It’s no secret around the station that I am very angry. Some often say that I will cut you for upsetting me. Joy won’t cut… come on! Maybe punch every once in awhile! But I don’t carry around blades or anything… That’s Mike The Enforcer… (it’s not a lie when people call him the ENFORCER - He do what he do and we go with it! I wouldn’t F with him dude….)

Well, I want to be on the air talking about all the stuff that makes me angry… something happens every day that either annoys the piss out of me or makes me want to rip people’s faces off. But they won’t let me!!!!! Which makes me DOUBLE ANGRY!!!! I know you feel the same way… come on… angry white boy….

I want you to tell me your story - so if you read this - at any time - e mail me - joy@albanyedge.com and tell me what made you want to throw someone on the ground and rip off their face today, last year, tomorrow or yesterday. I will post every story I get! Pictures too? Got a pic of you trying to rip off a face…? SEND IT!!!

Awww yeaahhhh… They finally let me have my very own blog on the old AlbanyEdge.com! YES! After months of begging… my wish is granted. Thank you oh web masta and Mr. Nik Rivas!  

Who the F are you? You’re asking yourself… I know it… I don’t hear YOU on the radio…? You’re thinking. Huh?

You couldn’t HANDLE me on the radio - that’s why they haven’t let me yet…

Well, my name is Joy (or Joyous if you want) and I’m the Promotions Director at this fine radio station! You may remember me from such promotions like,  “What’s In Joy’s Box Weekend”, “Make Edge Sexy Time” and “The 420 Pause for The Cause”.  You liked those didn’t you??

I’m the girl that handles all of YOU! Yes, that’s right - they told me that everything I do - MUST have to do with you the listener (more specifically, the DUDE listener) and what YOU like… no matter what it is… so I get you your chicks, your money, your concert tickets, your short bus passes, your golf cards, your naughty dirty stuff , your WWE stuff - your Guitar Hero nights and oh so much more…

I also take your complaints, your concerns, your questions… I call you to let you know your stuff is here to be picked up and I’m sure that 99% of all reading this have received a call from me one way or another…

Joyous is also one of the genius minds behind Edgefest - since it’s triumphant return last year! Time of my life I say…

Will Edgefest be returning this year? Yeah - well you just keep your pretty little friggen ears listening and you shall see!

So now that we got that out of the way -please know I’m totally open to hearing what you guys have to say about some of the Edge promotions - questions, comments and concerns are always welcomed by me…! Keep the bitchin to a minimum ok? haha!

About Joy - On a personal level…

I have been with THE EDGE for what will be two years on March 15th. It’s become like my baby… I found my job listening to the radio when THE EDGE made it’s return a couple years ago… I said, Holy God, what is this station…? What is the greatness shining through these airwaves? It RULES! We needed the hard rock back on the scene… none of the pansy garbage that other Channels play - it became very boring to me… I started doing radio sales, which is great and great money if you have the - HEY LOCAL BUSINESS, GIVE ME YOUR MONEY attitude… which I was totally lacking - and I ended up in Promotions. I had A LOT of doubts because it’s so hectic  and hard to get a handle of… but now that I have that precious handle, I couldn’t be happier!

My fellow Edgebians are so awesome and I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to work with! I mean, Nik Rivers and I are like a dynamic duo - he’s like, my Batman and I’m like, the undeserving Robin… Ralph Renna - total sour patch kid - looks so cute and sweet - but oh so sour… Christy Taylor - the tiniest of the tiny girls in the world… Cat and Darwin - hysterical and I love them so much, Vans - the groupie… can’t have a station without one! Did you know Hinder wrote Lips of an Angel about her? We didn’t either! Love you Vans! hehe! I could go on and on about these guys and how much I heart them all - but really, It’s MY blog! WTF?

So - I hate slow drivers… I am consumed with the rage of the road… If you travel South on Route 9 in the morning, I am probably the one who has yelled out my window at you, flipped you off, cut you off, swerved at you or beeped my horn. You may actually catch me, on that special occasion, tailgating you closely with my hazard lights on - indicating to on coming vehicles that it’s your slow ass holding up the train! I apologize in advance if you haven’t run into me yet… And I send belated apologies to all who have encountered the madness of Joyous on the roads (for a more unedited and comical version of the extent of my road rage, please refer to the Space in my blog - titled DRIVE!) Oh, and stay the F out of my way.

Nik won’t let me swear… gotta be safe for the kids ya know!

Musically - I enjoy oldies a lot right now… I don’t know what the recent obsession I have with old old music from the 60s and 70s is…  but I can’t get enough… all these guilty pleasure songs and stuff… I’m crazy! But this is also coming from like, THE BIGGEST Metallica fan ever. Yeah I know my Metallica… what up now!!!!! And it bugs me as much as it bugs you when Nik Rivers says - Met Tal Lee KA — ahhh — Met Tal Lee KA… what’s up with that? Some may never know… But I like the Tenacious D a lot (though old skool), Pantera, As I Lay Dying (and other assorted metal)… I’m musically inclined and could in fact go on about music forever… and it’s been a huge part of my life - so I had to be in the industry….

You kids who feel the same, IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE!!! Just don’t be in it for the pay

More to come… it’s been my absolute pleasure taking this time with you today and I look forward to our future “encounters”.
