At times when I'm dog tired or my checking account has hit negative one hundred dollars, I always ask myself.."WHY AM I DOING THIS STUPID RADIO THING?!" Then I remember e-mails like the one I got from a guy who worked under me at my college station at Georgia Southern. I was the Program Director and Morning Show Host at the time. He came on as a fresh baby DJ. I helped him along and after a semester I put him on the night show. He was a great talent but just ended up not liking radio. Well I haven't spoke to him in about two years and then I open up my facebook messages and get this from him:

Hey Miguel,

I was just thinking about you latley. I have Dr. M. S. for theory of mass comm (hate the class but she is cool) and she and I talked a little about you and I was talking with some people that are talking about bringing back the morning show and that reminded me of you as well.

I just wanted to say man, that you just have some incredible talent and it makes me really proud for you that you have really accomplished so much with all of your creativeness and your degree. You were really under-appreciated when you worked here at GSU but the radio station has never been at the same quality you had it at after you left.

I'm not doing broadcasting anymore (mainly because you helped scare me out of it) and am doing public relations instead so you don't have to worry about me begging for a job from you in the future but I definitely reserve the right to name drop when you become a john tesh or a ryan seacrest (i know you just cringed when you read that).

Overall just keep it up man and if I'm ever in Panama City (which may be never but who knows) and your at the station, you should give me a tour.

Take care man.

Sincerely,

Mike O.

-->Wow. On a very bad day, that was a SUPER delight to read. =)
