With words that are as chilling as the Northeastern air, we now have hope. Hope in new beginnings, hope in changes to come, and hope that my social security will be there (maybe) when I retire.

Coming off a big show with Episode 75, once again I have to reach out and thank the guys at Televox for the video that was posted here, and also some pictures that I received from a recent music video shoot that they are in the midst of. ( www.televoxmusic.com )

I have learned many things this week. I have realized that my sense of being has been restored and my sense of caring was elevated only to be deflated once again right after this show was recorded live. I love the fact that everyone is a writer and a novelist and a “info gatherer” and I was threatened to see that my opinion isn’t valid. I was also called many things and that never gets me down. I was told that I was part of a poll that included 427 people that commented, but wasn’t privy to the link on a topic that I was the subject of.  I have always defended my thoughts and I have never been a coward to tell someone how I feel about them. It’s just funny that people can be so vindictive (aggressive or assertive-you choose the word) without ever seeing the other person, face to face.

With that said, Episode 76 leads off with a great song by Snow Patrol, that was spiced up a bit.
