Here we go again

I've started another blog over at MySpace - check it out, if you're curious. Why, have I started another blog? No real reason, except I found out , I've been a member there for the past 3 years, and didn't know. Be interesting to see, if I get more readers there then here. Although, I've got to say, Blogger is much, much easier to customize, and offers way more options. More interesting will be to see, if I can keep up posting very different posts, in each place.
I think most of my depression has finally lifted. Not that things have changed radically or anything. In fact, today is very overcast, and we're having thunder storms. Lousy weather, even if you're a duck. I'm just hoping it slacks off or even stops completely before I have to leave for work. It wouldn't be too bad, except we keep having gusts of wind, that make umbrellas more struggle then help.
I am toying with the idea of stepping up my show on Caravan Radio. Several folks have mentioned, I should talk more. Ye gads - are they all tone deaf? I think I sound like Minnie Mouse on helium, but am assured it is quite the opposite. Interesting to note, these are mostly males making the request, although my friend, Rosa tells me, I have a 'very cute accident'... I don't think I'm the one with the accent, Rosa....
Sherry, president of Caravan Radio, thinks I should do more talking because 'I'm funny.' Hmmmm...I am? Is that funny ha-ha? Or funny - weird ? Oh , well I can give it a shot. Just have to work up my nerve.
What many don't know is I had speech therapy for five years. I suffer from letter transference ( on double letters one wants to be a 'd', like budton for 'button' or budter for 'butter'. And 'ch' wants to be 'sh'.) as well as a stuttering problem. Although, I seldom stutter now. Still, I am aware, and sometimes only speak well with extreme concentration. Fortunately, for me, most people are lazy listeners, and thanks to that therapy, it goes mostly unnoticed. Or perhaps, my speech is not as bad as I think. Who knows? The important thing is for folks to have fun while listening to my show. From their reactions, I can only assume that they do, though not as much as with Nomad. That man is hysterical. How he can be in at least 3 chatrooms, taking requests and dedications, filling the que, downloading new material, on IM, and talking all at once, is a study in multi-tasking. Personally, I have my hands full with hosting, djing , and requests, without being in multiple rooms. Although I am still waiting to break the double digit listener mark. Tune in, darn it! lol
I am watching Caravan Radio grow. We are bigger, stronger, and I think better, then ever before. Sure, we still have our eyes (and ears) open to new talent, in either dj or artist form, but we're a solid group. We know we have each others backs, and none of us suffer the 'diva' syndrom. It's even more like a family, then ever before. Why? I'm not sure, perhaps it is because we're all sharing in the growth. We've shared in the pitfalls, weathered technical difficulties, and learned together what works and what doesn't. One day, in the not too distant future, we may rank as the number one internet radio station in the world!!!
