Love or Money

I had an interesting conversation with my ex-wife yesterday. Just a bit of history.. I have been divorced for about 8 years and I have a son who is 13. I will just say that my relationship with my Ex wife is a pretty cool one… being older we now talk TO each other instead of AT each other….. Go figure
Anyway, in our conversation I asked her what her yearly salary was. Now this wasn’t just an out of the blue question to her. I was talking to a friend of mine, who works in the same field as my ex-wife, but he works for a competing company, also I already knew a ballpark figure of what she makes. She actually didn’t know the exact number because she was a manager, but recently stepped down from that position…. (Ok I took that answer)
I asked her why she didn’t tell me that her profession would make so much money when we were in college.. She said that I was so focused on doing a job I liked, and she wanted to get paid. That stuck with me…..

Is it better to have a job you love doing or having a job you hate and financial gain.
My job is kinda unique, and if you don’t work in this business you would never understand it. The in’s and out’s, the politics, the perks, and the method to the madness.
I do OK.. I consider myself very blessed to still be in a business that will chew you up and spit you out and not look back. There are peeks and valleys and I have experienced both…………….. I love my job, but I also love the dough…


The highest reward for a person’s toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it

Busy Busy Busy

The past week has been sooo busy. It's that time of year.. SPRING!!! March madness, festivals, concerts, the list goes on and on.
I love my job, and the perks are awesome... Over the past 3 weeks I have been to Walt Disney World (4 day trip paid for by Disney!!!!) for a live broadcast. Traveled to Tampa for a concert by our sister radio station, BET is filming their Spring Bling activities this weekend in Miami, which I will breeze thru.
No Blackberry!!!! I dropped my blackberry 2 days ago and it is not working. My cell company are total asses! They don't have insurance on my model because I was told that it is a high ticket item, so they said I need to purchase another one at full cost... (about $500) What the F*&#!
Anyway hopefully I will be up and running by this weekend. I just wanted to add a post since I haven't since last week.


It is not in doing what you like, but in liking what you do that is the secret of happiness......

RELATIONSHIPS

Back on the grind… Ok .. I apologize for not having a entry for yesterday, but it was a hard weekend.. I needed a day to rest.
I did learn a few things this weekend that I would like to share. I am trying to not keep going back to my last relationship but at this point is it kinda hard. I’m sure that as more and more time passes it will get better. I don’t want to make it seem like I am not over things because I am, but there are a few life lessons that I picked up trying to pick myself up and move on.
These are things that people should already know, but in today’s society and going thru the daily hustle and bustle of life we all get a bit caught up.

Relationships take work… Nothing is easy and if you are not ready to put that work into one don’t get into one.
Until you and your girl/guy go thru a conflict… you won’t see their true colors.
RESPECT each other..
Communicate
If you truly love that person…... Don’t give up on them.
You can hurt another person with words just as much as you can with your hands.

And this does not just apply to romantic relationships, but also siblings, friends, life partners, whatever.
Today people are so quick to “write” friends off because of something they did that YOU didn’t like. Did you express your concern(s) with that friend? Did you communicate that you were/are upset and tell why? Come on life it way to short to hold on to stuff like that.
My last girlfriend was there WITH me, but she wasn’t there FOR me, and there is a huge difference. Ok I will step down from my soapbox.. My intention was to talk about my weekend, but I kinda went in a different direction..

To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing….

Snack on that……

Here I go

Ok... So I have finally jumped off the cliff. I am putting my thoughts, feelings, views, life out there for the world to see and comment on. This is a form of therapy for me... You know that writing your feelings down and getting things out in black and white. I've been experienced other forms of therapy, but since I can basically write whenever, and wherever I want this should be a good thing... I am going to stay optimistic about it and roll with it.
As it says above I am a radio DJ.. It's what I do and it's what I am good at. Over the past year I have gone thru Hell and back but I'm still here. There were some days when I didn't know how I was going to make it, but I will repeat... I am still here. I don't really want to call it a midlife crisis but maybe that's what it was... Yes, I used the word WAS, and it feels good.
I want to have a daily entry, but I will build up to that. As for now lets start out with every other day...
I know I am not giving up a lot of information on my first day, but I will slowly and surely.
I also plan to end each post with something for you to think about..... Kinda like food for thought

Often the Test of courage is not to die but to live.........

Snack on that and I'll get back
