***NOTE: THIS CAME TO MY ATTENTION SHORTLY AFTER THIS BIRTHDAY WISH POST WENT LIVE EARLIER, BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT MY RADIO WISHES ALREADY STARTED BEING REALIZED ON SATURDAY WHEN JEREMY AT OPB PUT “FEED ME TO THE WOLVES” INTO THEIR LINEUP AND ON THE AIR! SO AWESOME. YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT OVER AT THEIR SITE HERE!!!

So…I am taking on radio and need your help to get things going. The first of the hard part is over. The music has been delivered and the DJ’s have my songs ready to roll at a few major radio stations out here in the Northwest region to start…I just need people to request that they play me and the wheels will be set in motion…then, suddenly, you will turn on your radio and hear me. Neat, huh?

I can’t really think of a better birthday present, and it’s free to send an email, so all of you who are scurrying around to get me something you think I don’t have can stop. I have everything but this…and this is what I am really wanting, so…go with this.

🙂

If you could take a moment out of your busy schedule to help me realize my dreams, it would mean the world. This radio bit is sorta the final push into the final frontier and I could use all the help you can give to get the ball rolling. Once they start playing it other people will join in (or not)…but we’ll never know if they never play it, so thanks in advance for requesting me!

I’ve tried to make this as easy as possible, but the most effective thing to do is Read the rest of this entry »

So…OH MY GOD. I never get sick, but found myself completely taken down last Sunday with the seasonal flu (thankfully, not of the Swine variety) and am just now, 4 days later, starting to feel like myself again.

I spent the week in bed…on the couch, actually. While I was laying here, once the horror of the first couple days of it passed, I was able to think about stuff and write a bit. That’s ALL I was able to do, actually, as moving around was pretty much out of the question until today and I ran out of DVD’s and stuff on TIVO about 20 hours in.

One of those thoughts I had was how lucky I am to have my health. I regret being so hard on this body of mine for so many years…I wish I had learned much of what I’ve taken to heart over the past two years a decade ago, but that’s not how the story goes and I feel grateful to be here in one piece, healthy and present in my life today.

I like the idea that things can always move forward…that I can take my human experience and change its course at any moment. I want so badly to make right the things I have wronged in my short time on this earth, and find myself in a constant state of atonement, not just with the universe, but with myself as well.

I am turning 30 in two weeks & I’m really grateful to be here with all of you…HEALTHY and on the road to some brighter place. Oh, and I recommend that you go get a flu shot. That shit was GNARLY.
