Valentines' Day comes only once a year, and every year, it sends me into a state of pure elation. I start feeling like I'm in absolute love with the world and want to get to know every single living person on the planet. There's always the "Anthem Song Of The Season" that pumps me up and goes on constant repeat until March 1st hits and I can't stand it anymore so I move onto other music, and the sudden desire for things like Dove's annually released heart-shaped chocolates and heart pizzas, and of course GIANT chocolate chip cookies. In one of the worst months of the Winter season, I always have an awkward smile on my face that doesn't really go away..... Love is always something I've tried to have as a feature, even in the toughest times of my life thus far. While it might not always be apparent, I try to be (assuming we have no disagreements or arguments/feuds) compassionate and welcoming to all who cross my path. I also strive to be ...
Some of us most likely have a "home away from home". A place where we go to escape the pressures and stresses of daily life and just feel at ease and relax. It could be the deer camp, the radio station, the RV campground nearby, or even your friend's basement.

It's always blissful and blessing to be there, and I'm going to write more about SBL at a later dat...
Back when I was younger, I had aspirations to be a voice actor. In some ways I still do, but those have been mostly superseded by the thrill that is being on the radio. I would practice different voices everyday, trying to get into accents and certain dialects. Some would work and others would not, as is expected when you're trying to gain exposure in this industry or even just simply get a start. How voice actors and actresses such as Frank Welker, Seth McFarlane, and even Nancy Cartwright can do it so easily floors me to no end. When I was on my high school's Speech Team Senior Year, it was mentioned to be by one of the coaches that not just one, but all of my voices sounded like, or at least had a little bit of my announcer's tone in there. I had to stop and think for a split second. Had the announcer's tone that I developed over the preceding four years crept up into my work as a Speech Team member? I went back and forth with the co...
