The Ice Palace

There are songs…

…That move your body on the dance floor, and then there are those songs that move your heart. One minute I can be listening to a song that reminds me of a high school dance with a wonderfully cute boy that makes me smile thinking of how innocent we both were then. The next minute I can turn up the disco and dance around the room like I am in a Donna Summer video.

Music can make you laugh, cry, feel anger, sing along, bring forth memories you hadn’t thought of in years, and just generally make you feel good. Isn’t it funny how much music can do that? It doesn’t matter what I am doing or where I am, I hear some form of music. 

Can you imagine if one day there was no more music? Not just rap, or country or whatever you enjoy the least… but NOTHING. You wake up and the world is completely void of music. I can’t imagine what my life would be like. What would yours be like? How would it change you?

..Although I am sure there are some people out there who wish I were.

I have just been enjoying the last moments of my summer away from this blog. I was still blogging though. Just on a different blog, away from all the usual people. It was nice, and I will still write there, but I missed The Ice Palace.

I started a new romance about the time blogathon ended, and I didn’t feel like I wanted this one to be as public as the others. This one is different. He’s not in a foreign country, He’s not a “master”, He’s not into anything kinky or weird (ok maybe that’s a drawback with me.), he’s just a normal guy who likes to barbecue with the neighbors and he is crazy about me. How can I go wrong? There are complications as far as living arrangements go *no he’s NOT in Prison!* but nothing that can’t be overcome.

My days as Station manager of MPYR are coming to a close. Cutbacks at work, have forced me to tighten my budget and I can’t just can’t afford it anymore. I loved the station, and for the most part, I loved the jocks, but I can’t put myself in debt for a hobby. I haven’t honestly been able to put a lot of effort into it this month for a lot of reasons, and I just feel like it’s a good time to close the door on that season of my life. A lot of people pulled together in a short amount of time to create that little station we loved, and had a lot of fun with and for that you are all such amazing friends and I will always love you guyz.

It’s officially September and it’s time to get out the fall leaves and orange hued lights so that I can decorate this place, and get it ready for the holidays. I love this time of year so much. There is the start of the college football season that I love, the villages from Lemax that I get to set out and landscape, and all the fun festivals that happen this time of year. I am hoping this will be a lovely fall/winter season filled with lots of laughter and maybe even some love!

It’s good to be back!

It was Super Size Weekend at the Mojo!

Saturday morning, where were you? Why were you NOT listening to MY show? Must I call you and wake you up to join me? OK gimme your number and I will…

So I stayed up WAY too late on Friday night to help our newest DJ SleepingBeauty(see: Jen B.) get her sound check done, considering I had about 3 hours of sleep the night before I was cranky. So when 6:00am rolled around I hit the snooze button and went back to sleep for an hour. I slithered out of bed and stumbled to my computer so I could catch the last hour of Luka’s show. She decided to do a three-hour show this weekend. Therefore, I got a bonus hour of her Mojo goodness! Two quadruple shots of espresso, later…I was live.

If I were to do a show on crack…I think it would be like this…

I did not plan my show on purpose. I wanted to see if I could just go live, unscripted, and do a request show with no planning. Guess what? I can. It was the most fun I have had since…ever. I had a FUN crowd in the chat room, and they dictated my play list. I played everything from “Tiffany” to “Lords Of Acid”. The requests just kept coming, so I kept playing. My show is usually only 3 hours, but we kind of lost track of time and went 4.5 instead! I do not have another DJ that follows me until 9pm EST so I was gonna go till they pulled the plug on me. I ended up getting some bad new during my show…so I ended it on a happy note, and promised to come back THIS Saturday with even more fun!

You can always download my pod cast, but I am much more fun live baby!
*grin*

3 wonderful hours of whatever I feel like playing when I drag my happy ass out of bed in the morning!

I had a shitty week at work. I want to kick small puppies. Therefore, I will most likely rant, give you your fashion tip of the week, and play some Fabulous tunage.

Mojoradiolive is where are the kewl kids come to play. I will be live on the air from 12pm-3pm EST (That’s 9:00am for you cali kids!) I will be in the chat room. I might take your request…

If you don’t come listen…well then…I will cry…and that’s sad!

Before my show at 9:00am You can catch DJ LUKA live!

After My show at 9:00pm you can catch DJ Ogre Live
(All Times Are Eastern)

I actually had a show on KMRL on Saturday.

OK so it wasn’t the best show to ever air on the station. In fact, it was most likely the worst, however…I was just happy to have finally gotten it all together. It was a long road to get there but I think it was worth it. I had a lot of fun, and I learned a lot in the process. I learned a lot about new friends, old friends, who my REAL friends are, and a LOT about me.

The night before I had all but given up since I was still plagued with sound issues even after a new sound card, install. (Thanks Jen for donating a new sound card to my cause!) Unfortunately, that made things worse. After three hours of Clark redoing everything back and forth. I said, “I’m done!” I gave up and sent him home to his wife. I sat down to listen to The Dark Hours, since I was home anyway. That didn’t cheer me up…in fact it only made me feel worse, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to do a show the next day…so I went to bed and cried myself to sleep like a big emotional baby. I was tired, emo, and ready to kick small puppies to the moon.

I hate that about me. I need to work out, or do Yoga or something for a release so I don’t spew forth onto people I care about. I have no idea why I was feeling the way I was. Maybe weeks of frustration, and self-doubt had mounted to that point. I am a cancer, so we do that. We just hold it all in, until it’s just too much and the person closest to us at that point ends up with our wrath. So if I was horrible to you on Friday, I am sorry.

For those of you who helped me through all this, either on the technical end or just the emotional support, and friendship. Thank you. I love you guyz!

After my show on Saturday, I felt like going out and hugging random people.
That…is good MOJO!
