Another year has passed. Another spring, another start of the school year, another diet, another failed attempt at love. The time really does pass when you get older. I can’t believe I’m coming up on the end of my college career. I’m about to be an adult. I remember being 11 and wondering what I would look like when I graduated from college –I never imagined I’d be slightly overweight! HAHA!
Any who, I’m trying to think of a way to sum up the past year. I think the theme for this year has been self discovery. At South Georgia College, I discovered who I was as a person and what type of life I wanted. I’ve got that down. This year, I rediscovered my outer self. I’ve done more socializing this year than anytime of my life. Kori and I had many parties at our apartment, I had a sort of steady group of friends, I started drinking – everything seemed to be centered on the Miguel outside. This year I’ve made huge strides in getting to where I want to be in my career. I guess I’ll just make some categories and go from there.
School: Before I left SGC, they told us that SGC students had the best success rate when we went on to four-year schools. I thought that was a crock of crap. I didn’t think it was true. Well, I was wrong. I’ve never been this successful at school. Since I’ve been at Georgia Southern, I’ve nothing below a B. All A’s and B’s in every class. Even when I took 21 hours last spring, I still came out with all A’s and B’s. Thanks SGC. I’ve discovered that I don’t suck at journalistic writing. I’ve taken several journalism classes now and I’ve gotten an A in each one. I think my fear of my writing abilities is starting to subside.
Family: This has been the first time since I was a child that people in my direct family passed away. I lost my Grandfather and my great Uncle. Both were tough. Losing my Grandfather was hard, but not as I thought it would be. I think I had prepared myself for this to happen, so it wasn’t a shock when it happened. But with each funeral, I couldn’t help but think about my Grandmother. Even thinking about it now makes me want to cry. When she goes, I won’t know how to, I don’t know, exist. She has been the corner stone of my life, with my mother, and without the two of them, I really don’t know what I would do. But I think what does help is the fact that my Grandmother is completely unafraid of death. She’s done what she was sent to this earth to do and she has done well. I just hope she continues to get the chance to do that on earth for a good 20 more years. lol
Friends: I’ve learned a lot about long lasting friendships this year. I’ve also learned to listen a lot this year. I think the biggest step that I’ve taken with friendships this year is dependency. I don’t think anyone should ever be totally dependent on someone being there with you all the time, but this year I’ve learned to have a healthy dose of that. Last year and even before that, I was never dependent on my friends to be there to eat lunch with me every day or go shopping with me. If no one was around to go with me, I was alright going to eat by myself or whatever. This year I learned to lean on friends for normal friend’s thing. I have people I can call up when ever and shoot the breeze with (shoot the breeze, is that right?). It’s nice to know that if I have a crisis at 3:30 in the morning, I can call someone and they will be there to help me out, or I be there for them.
Social Anxiety: This summer, I stared my social anxiety right in the face. When I went on one of my first promotional events during my internship to a club, I freaked out. Every one could tell that I was having one of the worst nights of my life. After that, I started looking at why I have such a hard time dealing with social settings like that and made up my mind that I had to change that. Going with the whole friend’s thing, that has really helped. Going to parties and random parties has really helped me leap out of my shell.
Career: The love of radio is here and here to stay. A friend of mine told me before the semester started that after doing the morning show for a term, I would be over morning radio. Not true. I love it even more now. Doing The Morning Buzz has been a joy like no other. I love it, my co-workers love it, and the listeners love it. It just makes me happy to know that people like the work that we do.
Love: HA. Well, nothing new to report on here. Still single, only slightly bitter. We shall see what the New Year brings.
So, in a nut shell, this has been a good year for me. The good weeks and bad weeks have balanced out to make a steady year. 2007 will see lot’s of changes in my life. In eight months I have no clue where I will be. That scares me to death. Hopefully I won’t be in a box somewhere.
Happy New Year!
Good day!

A therapist once told me, “There is nothing wrong with you. It’s not you, it’s the other guys.”
A mother once told me, “You are such a great guy, any person would be lucky to have you in their life.”
My mother once told me, “I love you more life itself, I know one day you will find a guy who will make you happy.”
A few years and some months later I’m still wondering if these statements are going to come true. I know, I know, another DRUNK post about men. Sorry. Deal with it. It’s on my mind.
I find the small ironies in life funny. I find my supposed love life funny.
SO, I have to so stop drinking and opening up my laptop. One day I’m going to actually write truth.
Hoe.

Ah, the start of a new month, a new season and fresh drama.
Sometimes I feel like after everything I’ve been through I still haven’t learned a lesson. But right now, I can tell you that I have. I am not doing it again. And it is drama. Getting in between people, dealing with the he said, she said stuff. I just don’t have the time or energy for it. It’s time for me to stop worrying about a boyfriend and start worrying about how I’m going to pay for the meal after graduation. If I am to enter into a serious relationship or even think about one, the drama has to be gone.
What’s interesting about all this is the fact that a couple of days ago, I started to write a blog post, here’s what I had:
I’ve gotten to the point that I don’t blog when something significant happens in my life. I sure as heck don’t like that! I have felt a blog post brewing for a while, but have never gotten around to it. A few times when I was drunk I wanted to post but I decided it wouldn’t be wise. I’m sick of coming to my blog and reading another depressing post about people with testosterone. So, this one will have other stuff in it too.
So yeah, I’ll continue on with that train of thought.
School is going well. I think I will make my first C since I have been at Georgia Southern. My Theories of Mass Comm class isn’t hard, it just requires a lot of thought and reading and my head has just not been in the game. All my other classes are coming along nicely. I guess SGC did get me ready for the big leagues. They did a great job.
The Buzz. I love and hate that radio station. I love when things go right and I can just sit back and listen to some fun, creative radio, then there are other times when I just want to quit and walk away. I guess anything you love this much has a huge affect on you. The morning show is amazing. When we are on, we are on, and I love it. There’s nothing like having someone stop you during the day and telling you that they laughed so hard listening to the show they couldn’t breathe or something like that. I want to do morning radio. Simple as that. My plan of attack needs to start forming soon so I know what I’m going to do.
Life in general. I have generally happy disposition on life these days. Earlier this semester I was down and thought I wasn’t going to come up, but of course, like always, the clouds lifted and I came back. This year I have made some incredible friendships that I hope to keep for a lifetime. I always knew friends were important, but I never have depended on people as much as I do now. Just having someone call you for lunch or just to hang out and watch TV is awesome. It’s nice to know that people are thinking about you and want to spend time in your presence. And I love learning from these people. So many life lessons have been spelled out for me this semester, and if it weren’t for all the good and bad, I wouldn’t have learned.
Alrighty, so as I’ve been typing, the situation from the first paragraph as been playing out in my mind. I have got to promise myself that I will not comprise myself to be with someone because they have shown interest. I can’t do that again.
I’m done. So tired right now.
Good day!

In my continuing quest for knowledge and life experiences, I have racked up on stories, advice, and general life lessons. Probably one of the most important lessons I have learned this semester is: ‘Don’t judge a book by its over.’
That’s a simple lessons, something you are taught in school. But when your teacher sits you down and tells you to stop making fun of the smelly kid and to not “Judge a book by its cover,’ they don’t tell you that the same rule applies to pretty, charismatic people. Sometimes, those are the most dangerous types. They say all the right words and make you seem like the king of the world, but those words are empty and are nothing but broken promises. In the end, you have to sift through the entire BS to find the truth.
Tonight there was a little get together at a friend’s house. Many gays came over, and of course, like I have learned this year, there was drama. You add in food and alcohol with the gays and explosive things tend to happen. This was sub par. Nothing too major. With two new introductions into the equation of people that I’ve never met, it was interesting to talk with them. Found out a little stuff that normally wouldn’t have crossed my eyes, but I have, and it’s interesting to know.
Life otherwise is busy as usual. The radio station, classes, Clear Channel. I’ve got to do everything in between. So I’m out. A little tipsy ( a lot) and ready to conk out.
I have no clue what is going on. I’m tired.
Goodnight.

And it seems to happen every year with out fail. The annual falling. The time of year when I meet a guy that seems to change my world. The guy that seems to make everything feel better. The guy that hangs the stars on the moon, the guy that makes everything better, but then a couple of days later you found out that he fucked your best friend and secretly wants to kill you. Well maybe it’s not that serious, but it seems to happen without fail every fall. I just don’t understand. This seems like my millionth post about some boy, but it never gets any better. The pain never seems to subside. It’s sill as jagged and painful as the first time.
Everyone tells me that I need to wait until I leave Statesboro, but I see so many gay people dating and in relationships. It would be nice to have that connection with someone.
Eh.
I’m done, for now.
Good day!

The Labor Day weekend has come and gone. I now feel like the school year can begin. Since the beginning of my days at SGC, the end of the Labor Day holiday signals the beginning of the school year. The first few weeks are warm up. I remember my freshman year how I forgot my razor at home in Atlanta, so by the end of the first three weeks at SGC, I was looking rough. I had facial hair growing everywhere, my hair hadn’t been braided in a while, and I just looked a mess. I went home that three day weekend, met up with my then boyfriend Corey, got my hair “did,” shaved, and just wonderful. I remember Lisa commenting on how I looked different after I had gone home. Ah, those were the days…
This weekend, the last Labor Day weekend of my schooling career was spent doing a whole lot of nothing. Kevin helped me do my room. It looks wonderful. I bought furniture and everything for my room. This is the first time I’ve had a room with matching stuff, a real comforter and everything. Kevin even built the book case and dresser. He also replaced my headlight and dome light on my poor car. Ah, what to do about this situation. My gut is telling me just to wait it out and see. After all that I have been through with guys, one of the many lessons I have finally learned is the lesson of patience. Don’t push or rush things. Just let it happen. That’s all I’m going to say about that.
With each passing week, I move closer to graduation from college. I’ve been looking forward to this day for years; actually, I’ve been looking forward to this day as long as I can remember. But then what? I’ve been working towards this goal of getting out of school for my whole life, and then what do I do? Going into radio is not the safest bet, probably not the smartest, but it’s what I love and what I know. I just hope I don’t botch it up. I just have no clue where I will end up by July 2007. I really hope I’m not living in Fairburn, Georgia with my Grandmother. In my mind, that would totally erase everything I have been working for since I’ve been in school. There are so many options I could go after. Radio is not like some occupations where there’s a given path that you take to get to where you want to be. I want to be a morning show host one day, but there are so many ways to get there. Some say to go and work in other parts of the day as the night guy, then move up in day parts while some advise that I just stay in mornings and try to be a stunt guy/producer for some small market morning show and work my way up. I don’t know…
Well, it’s time for sleep.

Ah, a moment to myself. A moment to breathe and take in all that’s gone on. School has only been in session for three weeks, but I feel as though a whole semester has gone by.
I’m sitting at the station, of course, pretending to do homework, but fielding calls about stuff with the radio station, personal love life stuff, and friendship woes. I love my life being busy like this. It feels like I have a purpose, I have a daily mission. Last fall when I got here and I was working at the george-anne, I felt like I was just wondering through the semester without much to grab onto. Last spring, when I parted ways with the george-anne and went to the buzz, life picked up a bit. I did the night show and was at the radio station every weeknight from 7pm until 11pm doing Buzz Late Night Live. Fun times, but it took a chunk away from my life. It’s not like I do much anyway, but that was a crap load. Now I have the morning show, programming and running the buzz, promotions work in savannah, class, and a somewhat respectable social life. I just now cracked open a book for what’s supposed to be one of the hardest classes I take as a Broadcasting major. I feel like a slack student right now. I’m hoping to get myself together this week/weekend. Let’s not even talk about the money situation…
Let’s actually. I’m so broke, it’s really not funny. Financial aid comes in tomorrow and I could not be happier. I have a few bills that are past due, I owe every one and their mother money, it’s just not nice. But hopefully with this little jumpstart to my bank account I’ll be able to hold my head up when someone asks if I want to do lunch.
I’ve been more social in the past few weeks than I can remember me ever being. Lately my apartment has become the gay Mecca of Statesboro. Really. Just about every night for the past couple of weeks I have had a host of gays over. It’s been nothing but interesting. I was so use to having Kori’s friends over all the time I had no clue how to deal with all these new people. On top of that, I have started drinking. Yes. I have started drinking. I am as shocked as anyone. Last week I think I had a drink every night of the week. Welcome to the world of being 21!
My 21st birthday was last week. Had lots of fun! Because of my deathly obsession with food, I had dinner at Ryan’s with a bunch of friends for my birthday. It was cute to see everyone together. Since my friends are kind of all over the place, it’s nice to see everyone meet and have fun with each other. That night we went back to my place and I had a very fun 21st birthday. That’s all I’ll say about that.
As usual, the romantic side of things are pretty much dead. There were a few possibilities when the school year started, but like usual, they faded quickly and I am left with my work and school. Alright by me. By this point in the game, I am OVER it. So over it.
It’s 11:05 and way past my bedtime. My goal is to be in the bed every night by 10pm. Probably not going to happen, but I’ll keep trying to make it in by 10pm.
This past weekend I went to Paula Deens restaurant, Lady and Sons. Can I just say that was the BEST FOOD I HAVE EVER EATEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Gosh. I want some now. I think I’m going to go back this weekend. I don’t care if it’s by myself. It’s just too good.
I’m tired now.

Most people who talk to me know I always joke about the weight that I have gained since I have been in school. Sometimes I’m serious about it, sometimes I joke just to make people laugh – or try to make them laugh.
Today I heard someone saying something about a person and their weight. (Talk about being vague!) I don’t know why, but the comment they said just bothered me. It wasn’t anything mean, but it just showed the shallowness of our society. I’m technically a little over weight, but I just look like a need to lay off a few hamburgers. I can’t imagine what people must go through who are truly overweight. The more I think about it, the more disgusted I get with the way we treat people and what we define beauty as in the U.S. I’m just sad over all for the state of where we are as a people. I talked to my therapist last week and he explained that I sometimes I let myself get too attached or involved with people or situations before I even get really involved. He was referring to the romantic side of my life. I can see this happening. I take each rejection so personally that it really starts to get to me after a while. I can’t stop feeling as if I can’t take it personally. I’m just too sensitive to things that happen in life. I try not to be, but I can’t help it. Eh. I’m just writing now, not really saying anything.
I have a friend who is going through drama with a past flame. Well, it’s more than a flame, it’s a love. I don’t really understand why they keeping coming back together. But after I talked with them, I couldn’t help but think about love and exactly what it means to people. As I’ve gotten older and seen my friends in more adult relationships, I see the crap that people have to put up with from the other person. I get so easily annoyed or offended by people, I sometimes wonder how I would react in the situations I see my friends in. Relationships are work. There’s another person you have to deal with. Another person with a set of beliefs, a way of driving, eating, talking, sleeping, everything…and you have to mesh with that person to become one in a relationship. HA!
Kori and I move in tomorrow…awesome.

Um, didn’t summer just roll around? Gosh, it’s just about over. School starts in a couple of weeks and it’s going to be a BITCH. But I’m excited. We’ve got a lot of stuff planned at The Buzz for Operation Move-In and Welcome Week. We are hoping to really hit up the freshman in hopes that they will listen to us – especially the morning show.
My internship ended last week. Last week…last week was probably one of the worst in recent history for me. Let’s roll down the highlights, shall we?
-I hit a dog. On the last day of my internship, I was on I-16 cruising down the highway singing John Mayer or something like that, and all of sudden a dog shoots out from the woods and runs onto the highway straight into my car… Needless to say I freaked out like a little girl and started screaming, but I did sort of keep my cool and was able to slow down and drive over to the median. The poor dog is in doggie heaven, my bumper is in my backseat and my car looks even more ghetto…moving on…
-So, there was a snag in the system and I didn’t get paid last week from one of my jobs…the result: my checking account with a balance of -397.68. Umhm. Okay.
-Kori and I are moving this week. We have to be out by Monday but we can’t move in until this Friday. So I’ll be floating around the ‘boro this week staying at different people’s houses. Fun times. I’m really excited to move though.
And the good stuff this week, well kind of good…
-The internship is over. I know some people thought I didn’t have fun or didn’t enjoy myself, but I did. I love just sitting there and soaking up all the radio info. I’m such a nerd when it comes to radio. I love it. I’m really excited because they are going to let me continue to VT overnights on the weekends when I go down to Savannah on the weekends to do promotional events. I’m also going to keep doing Promotions work throughout the school year.
-Now that I have a little more free time, I’m going to turn all my attention to The Buzz and making sure we are ready for the fall.
Now, the other stuff…
Well, here’s something that won’t surprise the .5 people that read this thing: I’m so over boys/men at the moment. They are nothing but a big bowl of disappointment. Whenever you think you’ve found one that you might be able to stomach for more than five minutes, something happens and they never talk to you again. Now, if I could find someone like John Mayer, I would be in a good place with life. But until then, meh…
Oh yeah, I forgot about the high point for this past week. There was a little party at my place this week and I actually participated! I drank a little, got a little happy, you know, did word vomits all over the place, expressed my undying love for a straight guy. Fun times. Pictures to come soon.
I’m out.
Good day!

So yeah. It’s nearing. The end of life. The beginning of life. It’s all about to come crashing down. In a few months, I will be finished with school. I will have my college degree, a little intelligence and a whole lot of debt. Can’t wait!
This summer has been a crazy one, of course. Driving to Savannah three days a week for the internship, and then going down Friday and Saturday for promotions stuff is no joke. My poor car is falling apart. There’s no a/c, the bumper is still coming off, the front headlight is out, the driver window is sticking to the frame or whatever and is becoming difficult to roll down, did I mention I have no a/c? But, the car will hold together, well it has to. I’ll probably have it for another two or three years.
Speaking of the internship, it has been great. I’ve learned tons this summer, more than I thought I would. There is so much involved in radio. Just when you think you have learned a lot, the next day someone will throw a curve ball and you realize that you haven’t even begun to scratch the surface.
We did a test morning show yesterday. It went really well. Jamie and I mentioned to each other that it felt weird not having Joe there. I hope it all comes together when he’s in the picture. I think we will have a good show.
Gosh, this post feels so mundane and ho hum. There’s some more stuff I wanted to hit up, but I didn’t want to have a whole pity party blog entry.
Through my therapy sessions this summer, I have come to a great deal of understanding of why I do some things and why I react to situations the way I do. I’ve always known this and may have written about it in the past, but I’m super jealous/envious of some people. It could be money, relationships, families, intelligence, looks, and a whole host of issues. I just don’t want to get into what got me thinking about all this tonight. I’m still a little bitter, but I really have no reason to be. Don’t you hate those situations you are removed from, but you can’t help but to feel passionately about what’s happening from afar? Make any sense? Probably not. It could have been fun…
I’m out.

It’s been a weird few days.
A quick run down of what’s been going on:
-I’ve really started to warm up and become comfortable at the internship. The people there are super cool. I had a remote this weekend and talked with one of the dj’s the whole time about the radio industry and what not. It was really cool to be able to talk at length with someone about radio without them rolling their eyes wanting me to shut up.
-I was stood up. I was supposed to go on a date, but he never showed. Found out that he got nervous. I sent a message saying it was cool, but that he should have called. Still haven’t heard back from him so I guess we can count that as over. Meh.
-My head is always swimming with stuff for the buzz, I really need to attach a post-it notepad to my belt buckle so I can have it at arms length when I think of something.
-Um, so I guess I can call myself a fan of country music…in my iTunes as of this weekend, I now have The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Rascal Flatts, Dixie Chicks, and Nickel Creek. Hmm…so I guess I have totally lost my black card. Did I ever have one? I’m so kidding. lol
-Kyle came to look for a car. His car was totaled a few weeks ago so he’s on the search for another car. I had to drive him home to H-town. Um, we got lost. I think it took four hours for the whole trip. But I did take his Arrested Development DVD’s. That will be next weekend’s project. Watch those and laugh.
-Have I mentioned that I love radio? lol I think I have accepted the fact that I will probably have to go on welfare when I graduate from college and get a job in radio. Maybe McDonalds will take my broadcasting degree. No really though…I’m probably going to work part-time at Barnes & Noble or something while doing radio after GSU.
Wait.
I graduate from college in May. Oh. My. God.
It really is almost over.
Wow.
Okay, so I’m tired now and I really want a double quarter pounder with cheese from McDonalds, but it’s way too late – if I stay up any longer, I might go and get one, so I better head to bed.
Things to keep in mind for the week:
-Slow down and think. You do not know everything.
-Concentrate on the tasks at hand. When you finish, you will find that it really wasn’t that painful.
-Constructive criticism at this point in the game is awesome, actually, I love it.
-STOP SPENDING MONEY. PERIOD.
-Remember where you came from and where you want to go.
-Stop trusting people so easily, they break you.
That is all.
Good day!

He’s back! John Mayer has a new song that will be released to radio stations in a few weeks. His album is set to come out September 12th!!!!!! Please believe I will be the first knocking the door down wherever getting a copy of the cd. GOSH, I LOVE IT! http://www.johnmayer.com 
Anywho. So I had my therapy session today, and I came to the conclusion that I was content with life, at the moment. I have friends, I’m cooking, my grades were good for summer classes, my internship is going well, and things just seem to be looking up at the moment.
Saturday I worked all day. I guess it was my make or break day as a PEA. I had four remotes in one day. At first I didn’t think I would be able to hang, but as the day went on, I found that I was able to deal with all the stuff that I had to do. The job was more physically demanding than I thought, but it was cool. I think I’m going to like it.
Andrew finally moved into the apartment this weekend. Adam has been here too. It’s been cool having people back in the apartment again. Adam and I have been cooking up a storm the past two days. I. LOVE. FOOD. That is all.
Good

Alright. A few words, quickly.
Probably one of the happiest days of the past few weeks yesterday. I was at KISS and asked the Program Director if I would be voice tracking at all this summer and he said yes, but at some point in the next few weeks. A little later, he informed me that I would be voice tracking the 3 & 4 a.m. shifts for this morning. Um. Okay. To most people, that’s nothing, but to me, little ole’ me, THAT MADE MY DAY!! That means that my voice will be heard by who knows how many people…well, granted it is 3 in the morning, BUT STILL!!!! I AM GOING TO BE ON A 100,000 WATT STATION!!
Stephen helped set me up to start voice tracking. You would have thought that I had never been on the radio before. I was SOOO nervous. I actually had him leave when I recorded my first break. Amateur. lol But afterwards, the PD sat down with me to go over my breaks. You would have thought that he was telling me I was greatest thing in the world. I had a big smile on my face with pen in hand writing down all the tips he gave me to improve. I’m so excited to get back in there and take what he told me and put it to action. Dork, I know. I can’t help it.
So I’m staying up to hear myself…AND I have a final this morning which I have not studied for. I mean, I have, but not like I should. Eh. Summer is just not for classes. So not motivated. But it’s over after the final today.
Big weekend ahead of me. I have a van hit this afternoon. Saturday I have remotes for KISS, Love 101, The Beat, and The River. It’s going to be a long day, but I think I’ll learn tons. I’m so loving this right now.
Alrighty, off to try and read some more. I should so be sleeping right now…
Good day!
