Midweek thoughts

I have taken a thought from this post and expanded it on my other blog "Seek Him First"

I know it's been a few days, but I've had a few things on my plate, and the muse has been very stingy this week.

It's been weird this week that I've been finding myself posting on pro wrestling message boards, even though my last post here concerned a word-kayfabe used almost exclusively in pro wrestling.

Not much happening. "My"101.7, as newsnomore put it to me in an e-mail, yawwwwn.

Daytona 500 is coming up next month. I don't have too many NASCAR fans who look at this blog, but I am so I thought I'd put this here. BTW way CollegeDJ86, you're from Indiana. What do you think of Tony Stewart?

Ohio Media Watch is currently on hiatus, which is why I put "gone fishing" next to his link. He needs a rest, so hopefully he's getting one.

No third grandchild yet, but he's coming any day now. I will probably have to go to Nelsonville this weekend as the WIXYjrmobile is having some mechanical issues.

Finally, please pray for me as I'm dealing with some depression issues.

You can ALWAYS count on me for a prayer, especially when it comes to an issue like depression. I've been in a bout of that since October, when I found out that Becky(my ex-fiancee) was "playing" me.(while we were separated, and supposedly trying to work things out, she was seeing a 33 year-old guy at the same time!). Enough about my problems-I'm tough!!

You can count on me for mechanical problems-I have automotive experience!!

I'll help you out-ask and ye shall receive, my friend!!

God Bless, my friend!!

I am currently working on a post on my other blog on bearing one another's burdens. The muse is funny at times. Thanks for all the support.

Danny, hang in there. There are prayer warriors who stop here.

The post should appear this evening and I will announce it on this blog.

Tony Stewart always rubbed me the wrong way... he was always a little too arrogant, too childish, and too much of a bad-boy for me to really applaud him. However, he does work hard and knows how to win.

Stewart, as you well may know, was also born in Indiana. There are two towns that claim to be his "hometown": Columbus and Rushville. The former was about an hour's drive northwest of my hometown of Madison, IN, while the latter was a slightly longer drive more toward due north of my hometown. Rushville has a nice 1/4 mile (I think) dirt track where Tony still sometimes races to this day as I understand.

I'll be praying for you as you continue to battle with some bouts of depression. Dwell on the sweet promises the Lord has in store for his children as well as the many he has already kept, and that may help you feel a little better!

WIXY, you are definitely in my thoughts and prayers. Your blog, OMW, and Cleveland.com are in my daily routine online.

I am happy that I have found another friend online who enjoys the media, music, and has a history with pro wrestling. How awesome is that? I remember many years ago when I was much younger looking forward to watching WWF Superstars Saturday afternoon on channel 9 out of Steubenville from the living room in beautiful Massillon! Great memories.

Biz,

I've been trying to get some dialogue going on the pro wrestling forum on cleveland.com. Check it out.

What Vince has done with it now is made what was once a good entertaining product, into alot of garbage.

Hey now...I am a NASCAR fan too. I prefer the old school NASCAR to this new stuff, but I still enjoy it. Tony Stewart rubs me the wrong way too. Did you see/read Jack Rousch's comments about Toyota joining the circuit? Their addition will make for some interesting rivalries, especially since Mark Martin will be beind the wheel of a Toyota.

Rich,
One correction. Mark Martin will be behind the wheel of the 01 US Army Chevrolet.

Something that may be of interest of you is one of the things I've done this week to blow off steam was to redirect some disgruntled posters from the auto racing forum at Mlive to the auto racing forum at cleveland.com. I will explain why in one of my next posts.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was
