Very long day

Ok lack of sleep and lack of sunshine is killing me. I hate winter and seasonal depression.
The dog better let me sleep tonight. I am going to take him out and head to bed. Tomorrow is a new day and maybe just maybe some of my promoting will pay off.

It's going to be a long day

The dog had me up at 4am again. It's snowing and I'm feeling blah from lack of sunshine. Yes I have seasonal depression so the last thing I want to see when I look out the window is more of that white shit coming down!  Especially the really fine stuff that comes down quickly like we just had the past few days that left us with between 18 and 24 inches of the crap, but that's exactly what I see when I look out the window with my bleary tired eyes. UGH! . I hate winter! I need my sunshine and warmth.

Then I also need sleep, you know that thing called sleep that seems to be so hard for me to find.  Even when I do get to sleep I get woke up for one thing or another and then forget it I'm up.

Well enuff my ranting. Time to make some breakfast here soon then Im going back to bed.

GRRRRR I Knew It Wouldnt Last

I knew the great weather wouldn't last but come on this is ridiculous! I hate winter. We just got hit for the past 2 days with between 18 and 24 inches of snow! BLAH!!


Jessi's car pretty much burried. She did good though shoveling the walkway and digging out her car by herself!

 

Yes yes it looks so pretty but you don't have to shovel this white shit! and thanks to Jessi neither did I. Thank you kid love ya.

Here's hoping spring gets here soon.

Spring is coming

Spring is on the way!! Thank God! Today is a beautiful day even though it is still not warm enough to spend any time outside. The sun is shinning melting the snow that is left. I know it wont last more snow will be here soon but at least for today my it brightens my spirits.

I've got a few things accomplished today especially with my website. Looking forward to getting it all remodeled and updated. Of course after 5pm tomorrow evening I wont get much done, Miss Olivia will be home again for a week. Who ever come up with 5 day split custody should have been shot. The child suffers for it because the child doesn't even have a home. They get shifted back and forth like they are unwanted baggage in storage moved here and moved there. There is absolutely no stability for the child at all. Shakes head.

Well I guess I better get some fresh coffee started and get back to work on my site if I want to get it done soon. 

A new day

A new day and the sun will be rising soon. Going to have me a cup of fresh coffee as soon as it's done then I need to run the vacuum and do a few other things around the house before I start working on my website. Got the lay out for the remodel of my website done on paper now I just have to put it together online. Will be djing tonight at 7pm on Phoenix Family Radio.

Disgusted with this whole "performance tax" the RIAA is trying to push on local radio stations. If you haven't heard about it, check the previous post and get involved! I will be writing my representatives today. Then I am going to see if I can get in touch with the head of the local broadcasters association to see what we can do on line to help the cause besides sending letters. The RIAA needs to be told to go pound sand. They are not helping anyone but themselves (record labels) in fact I am sure there are plenty of fans like myself out there that they are alienating from buying music even. I was going to order some cds this week but I have decided no more music purchases until this whole performance tax is shot down!

Well that's my day, I hope what ever you have planned , that you have a wonderful day!!

Performance Tax on Local Radio Stations

In case you haven't heard the news, the RIAA is at it again. This time around they want to levy a performance tax on local radio stations.  If we owners and operators both of terrestrial and internet radio stations, as well as the listeners of said stations,  do not take a united front on this, we all lose. The local radio stations and the internet stations will not be able to afford to stay on the air if these ridiculous performance taxes are allowed to pass in Washington.

When the RIAA went after the internet radio stations a couple years ago, we ran ads on our stations and had an organized day of silence in protest, we called and wrote our state representatives, we passed the information on to our friends and family to do the same until it was clear that the RIAA was not going to win and gave up. It is now time to stand once again united and say NO! NO!! NOO!!! Loud and clear NO more taxes on our radio stations!

Get involved now!!
