Home is where the heart is.

I heard that a lot growing up, but I never really understood what that meant. After living in a couple of different cities in the past few years of life, I now have a full understanding of that fuzzy, warm saying.

Yesterday I hosted Battle For the Boro...it's a hodgepodge of local music artists performing all day. I was going back and forth between two stages from Noon until close to 1 in the morning. Needless to say my little legs were hurtin! But the coolest thing kept happening all day...people, like straight, fratastic(sp?) guys were coming up to me and saying how much they missed the morning show. They were asking what I was doing now, some even said they listened to me on KISS now. Some asked how Jamie, Toni and Bryan are doing. (I took delight in telling people that Bryan and Jamie Lynn are happily living together in the Atl...not happily MARRIED, but I'm sure that will happen soon!) But it made my sprit feel SOO good (my ego too! ;) ) to see that people STILL, after a whole freaking year, remembered what we did in the mornings. Our stupid banter on-air about a toilet having red lips, Toni going out on the streets, Bryan making everyone feel stupid on air, Jamie's endless rants, Producer Andrew being clueless about American traditions, Gene "Gameshow Man" Grey's LOUD laughter from the newsroom, Caroline saying one word, King Phillip with his awkward take on things...we truly made people's mornings...we made people laugh...we made people smile when their morning was crap.

That's awesome.

I felt like I was at home.

While I was on stage making fun of people in the crowd, and making jokes about living in the boro, being a Georgia Southern student...it was cool to feel everyone on that same vibe. I really going to miss that little town. I was only there for two years, but I grew so much. It's so funny how you never really know how good you have it until it's over.

Thank you Statesboro.
