The DJ Rollie D Story

How often do you feel wanted, valued, and appreciated?  Your answer may range from "all the time" to something more like "almost never".  Is it a requirement to feel these things in order to feel like you're having a successful life?  I'd say no unless we're looking at things purely from a social standpoint, such as being involved in a circle of friends.  Sometimes, we can still have happiness being alone and not with people, though I personally find those instances to be few and far between when taking a broad look. I sometimes struggle with feelings of being any of these three things, but lately I've often pondered the thought of whether or not I really need to feel this way about my life.  Is being wanted always a good thing?  I'd say not exactly, for it could be for the wrong reasons, as some of us have ill intent on why we want to see/pay/use a person's skill set or services offered.  Our intentions are not always of the best intention

We're just now finally kinda sorta getting around to Spring here in the Western Minnesota/Eastern North Dakota Area, after several late-season snow storms and temperatures remaining below average for quite a while.  There was also the flood in the Red River Valley, and the after effects that the flood brings each and every year.  However, this was the first major flood that I experienced in Fargo-Moorhead since I moved here in 2016.  I remember seeing the first news reports and then the State of Emergency and wondering what really laid ahead and how bad the flooding would get.  The answer to that is that it never got too bad in the communities of Fargo and Moorhead, but upon leaving the Metro, you really started to see the affects, with small Northern Minnesota towns such as Oslo blocked off and marooned for weeks on end with no way out, and I have to say that the residents of towns closed off by flooding are amazing people for dealing remarkably well with the weather-related tra

Last Fall, I decided to pick up a wax warmer for the heck of it, and picked up some scents that truly reminded me of home, one of them being Fall Leaves.  Yes, we do have Fall Leaves here in Fargo-Moorhead, but you don't really get the authentic outdoor scent that you get back where I'm from in Northeastern Minnesota.  I came home and plugged it in and turned it on for the first time, and it was wonderful.  It was so nice to be able to smell the scents that reminded me of back home while watching television, playing the drums, or even working on homework (I did all three of these in my bed room at that time), and the calming effect was definitely there. Per  this article  from Happy Wax, there are many reasons you could choose to melt wax in a wax warmer over burning candles.  For example, it's cheaper.  At Walmart, I am able to pick up a package of wax melts for anywhere from $0.93 to $3 depending on the brand.  At that price, you can truly choose any scent that sta
