An introduction that should have been a while ago..


Most of my southern friends here more than likely are familiar with Amias and her writing. I would call her a new friend, but we have crossed paths before, as we have a common friend in Liquid.

The first time Amias commented here was in a response to a comment I made on her blog, Liquid Plastic. She was respectful to my style and almost apologetic of hers, as she told me that her content was somewhat raw. Difference is the occasional swear word isn't there for shock value, it's more there for life value.

The first time that I commented on her blog was on an article about the Confederate Flag. With all the controversy surrounding this issue today, Amias gave a unique perspective as an Africian American.

Check it out with an open mind and open heart. And if you feel inspired to do so, leave her a comment or two. She will appreciate it.

The photo in this article was taken from Suzanne's Liquid Illuzion blog. I hope she doesn't mind.

Liquid:I consider you my gateway into the outer blogosphere. Take a look at the right hand side of my blog and most of that sidebar is a result of you accepting my friendship.

Bella:I'm doing fine now, and I think you will do well to see the creativity of Amias.

Stacy: You will learn a lot from some of these blogs. I have felt that since last summer I have picked up some very useful knowledge reading from and about people outside of my corner of the world.

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...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
