End of an Era..too dramatic?

First semester is pretty much wrapped up for us, in radio anyways hehe. Everyone had their first day at their internships, which from what I can tell was a good time for people.

I am currently back and forth listening to Lee and Stephanie, and they both sound great I must say. It makes me wonder if all of us will return after the Christmas Break, or will some of us be offered jobs and make our way out into the working world.

I'm not really doing an internship this year, as I did one last year in Truro at Big Dog 100.9 which was so much fun. This year however I will spend a couple of days over at FX 101.9 with Scott George and the rest of the time when I am not working I will be at school doing shows.

I did a show today and it was very weird being there without the rest of my Radio Class. Honestly I didn't like it too much, only because it felt like I had failed one more time.

It's great though to have that chance to do extra shows, plus I have time to do extra productions, so there is that benefit to it all.

I'm excited and nervous to go to FX, I'm hoping to learn some stuff and maybe get some on air time, that would be pretty sweet, especially considering it's what I want to do.

I get a lot of people telling me they're suprised that I would go to a country music station. I'm a bit of a fan of country music. I grew up listening to Johnny Cash, Hank Snow, Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings. Then I moved on to newer ones when I was younger, Randy Travis, Marty Stuart, Travis Tritt, Sawyer Brown, Brooks and Dunn.

People think I'm just a rocker haha which I am at heart, but if something catches my ear then I am down for it ;)

Next post I'm talking about Adam Lambert, I'm not a fan of his, but I think the music industry needs him

Until next time, Keep it Rockin :)

Change, it's everywhere.

Mom and Dad have been busy lately getting the house all decorated for Christmas and along our fireplace is an army of Nutcracker Soldiers, and all of them belong to me hah

I've always had a fascination with them, and since that was brought to my parents attention, every year for Christmas I have received one as a gift and next thing you know I have enough to decorate my own place, whenever it is I get my own place ;) Dear Santa?

Yes, the one on the far right is a mouse standing on a piece of cheese, the possibilities are endless for how these can look.

However with all the newer looking decorations we have now, I cannot help but think of our old tacky ones that we used to have. Paper streamers, a paper bell, cardboard Santa and Reindeer flying across our living room wall and of course my favorite, colored tin foil that covered random bricks on our fire place.

When you walked into our home in those days, you left Sackville and entered Christmas Land. I miss it a lot. When you can't change something though, you need to learn to accept the new and find the good in it, which I have done. Although our holiday decorations don't scream 1970's, I think they wouldn't fit the way our house is designed now, and would be almost like watching a hockey game try to take place on a football field, it just would not work.

The memories of the old will never die, and there are new ones to be had, that's one of the many beautiful things about life. As long as I get to watch Garfields Christmas Special and Charlie Brown, then it's going to be a Merry Christmas :D

More on Christmas when it actually gets close to it.

Until next time, Keep it Rockin ;)

Cause there's no road, that ain't a hard road to travel on

We've all faced tough times in life, some just happen, and others we bring upon ourselves.


We just want these times to pass and hope we can move on, especially the ones we brought upon ourselves. Just grab that giant broom and sweep it under the rug. Sometimes though, what was once swept up dirt, transforms into a skeleton that resides in your closet, just waiting to make its presence felt at a later date.


I had a time that I brought upon myself some time ago that I had believed was gone, but just recently it returned, having me pretty much reliving the initial incident.

I won't go into detail what it was, but it has left me feeling like a black cloud.

Here's hoping that this will be my last reminder, and there's relief in knowing I learned the most valuable lesson.



Moving on to something with a bit more light around the edges.

I started my Christmas shopping, and I feel this will be the year that I get it done fast and not last minute

hmm...where's some wood to knock on...ah well, I'm feeling confident ;) (check back here in three weeks for an update on that haha)

Also Mom and Dad picked out a Christmas Tree at a you cut place in Mt. Uniacke, wow, the time just flies.
Next thing you know I'll be writing about going to the beach.


I've got a couple of shows this week at school, hopefully I'll put up a clip on here, be sure to check back ;)

Until next time, Keep It Rockin!

Time for a break..where's my kit-kat?

We have a week off from school



As I look at the clock it shows me its time to catch up and take care of business while I can.



My parents and sister are leaving on Wednesday to go to Maine and I wish I could go with them.

Maine is like my PEI of the USA, a place thats not far from here, doesn't have the most tourist attractions, but to go there is always such a breath of fresh air for me.



I know my way around the Bangor Mall more than I do the Halifax Shopping Center or MicMac Mall

In time while they are away I shall be making money, and doing school work

I feel a bit aprehensive (yea that's right, I like to use big words to make me feel smart)
I'm scared of a repeat of last year...and I'm not looking forward to it, I just don't know what my problem is, but I guess we'll see how that goes when it comes time.

I would really like to do a radio show, I've just got the itch right now to do one.

The thought of doing a radio show for a living actually is a hard thought to take in, it just feels surreal but I hope it becomes a reality. I enjoy what I do a lot and am finally sure about what direction I want to take my life in, there's always bumps in the road but hopefully I'll be able to get around them at no huge cost.

I was watching George Carlin : Life Is Worth Losing, oh my god, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time, and I needed it. As blatant and blunt as his observations of human behaviour are so accurate and well he reminds me of myself with some of my opinions I have haha just youtube a video of him please, I'd post something here, but I think it may be too crude for here, so you know where to go ;) haha

Until next time, keep it rockin
