An introduction to some, reintroduction to others

As some may or may not know, Amias is currently the administrator of Liquid Illuzion, Suzanne's blog. Amias and I have also been friends, who met through Liquid Illuzion, for over a year. Amias and Suzanne are two parts of Liquid Plastic Sisterhood. She and Suzanne's family are working together to make an online memorial to Suzanne.

Like I said above, I first saw Amias' writing in the comments section at Liquid Illuzion. It was very evident that the two were very close friends. Suzanne told me one day that she had hoped that the two would become next door neighbors. I went over to Amias' blog to check out her writing. I made a comment there and she come by and returned the comment, almost being apologetic about the way she expressed herself. And with this, our friendship began.

Amias is a 60 year old native of Mississippi, now living in Houston, Texas. She keeps referring to herself as old, but she's only 7 years older than me. Amias has been another one of those bloggers who have here for me when I needed it, and we've developed a friendly relationship through blogging and email. For the first time on December 26, we also made phone contact with each other. Funny, Amias told me I sounded like a teenager, but I have been told that the voice doesn't match up with the face.

Amias has gone through much suffering in her life and her writing has reflected that. I have tried on occasion to try to interpret her writing, which most of the time is very deep. Struke has said that her writing should be required reading in high school and Amias has told Struke that she wished she had teachers like him.

Amias is a supporter of several blogs and a friend to many. Her most recent blog is called The Magic of Integrated Circuits. It's a collection of her thoughts in prose, poetry, and photos. Give it a look. And tell her that you appreciate the work she has done with the White family.

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?
