the today that almost never was.

Today was a good example of when you push yourself to the limit, anything is possible. Let's rewind a bit. The past few weeks, I haven't locked in more than 5 hours of straight sleep. Blame mostly allergies and insomnia. It's extra special when they drop in on the same night.  This brings me to this morning. I woke up drowsy with a little under 3 hours of rest. I couldn't lay in bed anymore. I knew if I did, my whole Monday would be wasted. I got up, poured the coffee, had breakfast, and started to work the morning while slowly waking up. As I pulled up my daily To-Do List, I realized that I wasn't happy with my previous server that hosted my old Photography site. I decided before I get what needs to get done today, I need to find a better server. So the search started. It didn't take long to find a new home. The day was spent building. Designing. Writing copy. Uploading. Erasing. Re-writing. Redoing. Finally, just after 6pm, I was done. Satisfied with my work. Amazed how much work I did on a day that almost never was.

Great momentum to go into my 34th Birthday on Saturday, I thought.

I would  like to thank my veggie salad with extra olives, tunes from Phoenix and The National, positive energy from the Sunshine, and the black bird who kept me company on the window sill that helped me get through the day that almost never happened. I owe you all.

Now, Time for some rest. After I pop my allergy pill.

'Night.

perez gets radio countdown show

As a kid, I grew up listening to the best countdown guys in North America. Rick Dees and Casey Kasem topped the list. As the years went on, new pipes got on the microphone for syndicated gossip heavy contempoary hit radio at its best. If done well, it was the best example of what TOP40 music radio should sound like. Today, I read that fab blogger Perez Hilton will be joining the marching band as he will premier his own countdown show early next month. After thinking about, it makes sence. I would be interessted in hearing it. I think it will be fun. I think he will bring his own brand to the board and make the show his own. Hopefully Virgin will pick it up as they already have him doing morning show cut-ins. Here's the official blabber from Hilton, himself.

Westwood One (NASDAQ: WWON) is pleased to announce, in partnership with C-Student Entertainment, The Fab 30 Countdown with Perez Hilton will debut on radio stations nationwide the weekend of April 3, 2010. The four-hour weekend countdown show will broadcast live from Los Angeles and feature hit music as selected by Perez himself, plus Hilton’s unique take on entertainment stories, celebrity interviews and more. The Fab 30 Countdown with Perez Hilton will launch on stations in the top 3 markets New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, among other markets. Stations airing the show will be announced in the coming weeks.

"I am beyond excited for The Fab 30 because it is the perfect vehicle for my skills and passion - celebrity news and music!” exclaimed Perez. “Nobody does gossip like I do and over the years I have earned the respect of my readers and the industry alike with my music recommendations. I'm determined to produce the best weekly show out there with the best music, the best gossip and - very importantly - the best guests. I can hear Ryan Seacrest crying already!"

“Perez is an amazing talent who knows Hollywood, knows music and knows how to bring them together for great radio,” said Max Krasny, Westwood One SVP Entertainment. ”Perez and his audience will be a huge hit with our affiliates and advertisers.”

“We are thrilled to partner with Westwood One to bring the biggest celebrity blogger in the world to listeners coast-to-coast,” said Steve Lehman, C Student Entertainment. “Perez is a pop culture icon. His priceless gift of gab, passion for music and uncanny sense for ‘the next big thing’ are a perfect fit for radio.”

About Perez Hilton

Perez Hilton is the internet's most notorious gossip columnist. The LA Times calls Perez, “like US Weekly, the Star, the Enquirer and Life & Style all rolled into one sweet yet snarky, sagacious yet salacious gay man." Perez was named the #1 Web Celeb for ’07, ’08 and ‘09 by Forbes Magazine as one of the 15 most influential Hispanics in the US by People in Espanol. Since launching in 2004, PerezHilton.com — originally named PageSixSixSix.com– has become one of the leading go-to sites for celebrity news. Perez has become a celebrity in his own right. In 2007, he was a contestant in MTV's Celebrity Rap Superstar and premiered his very own show, What Perez Sez on VH1. In 2009, Hilton made headline news around the world while serving as a judge for the Miss America pageant. He also launched his mobile website at m.perezhilton.com, a new fashion website CoCoPerez.com and two best sellers in 2009, Perez Hilton’s Red Carpet Suicide and Perez Hilton’s True Bloggywood Stories.

t.o. to d.c.

One of the many locally based blogs I frequent is 1 Love T.O. Great site to check out. Artsy, Hip Hop stuff with an edutainment type of feel to it. Back late last year, they packed a bus full of like minded individuals and headed to Washington to see Obama get inaugurated. Here's the trailer to the soon-to-be-released documentary. One Love.

one sentence

The number of teenagers that look around to make sure nobody is watching before answering "Nno, I'm not sexually active" is astounding.

gawker...

I was introduced to Gawker last week. The site is said to be an online recourse for media gossip and pop culture around the clock. I've become a loyal subscriber to the site ever since. The writing is witty, smart and intelligent - which is hard to do when you're dealing with stuff like news from the Hills set or reporting about traumatized employees who sue Fox News for bedbug attacks. However trivial or dumb-witted their news seem to be, they report it in a clever manner which makes it sound intelligent to know the daily dishes from Hollywood and between the rag sheet covers. They even tackle harder issues like how to make Sharon Stone shut up . If you want good reading or just a quick update on what's going on in pop culture, check out the site. You'll become an addict very fast. I promise.

cassette from my ex..

Remember cassettes? I recently found one with a bunch of my old radio appearances on it. Must've been from the early 1990's. When I found it, I had to look all around the house and dig through old boxes in the basement to find a tape player. It was even hard to find a ghetto player that came with tape decks in the house. Have we digitally progressed so fast? I guess. Anyway, I finally found one and put in the tape. It was full of my old bits from CFTR and MIX and even one from CFNY. Along with the radio bits were little snipbits of old radio shows I used to tape and me trying to pre-tape the little radio show I used to host from my bedroom. The memories came flashing back so fast from the times that seemed so much easier.

This is why I found Cassette from my Ex to be such a cool site. The blog style page is full of stories sent in my heartbroken ex loves talking about their old relationships while they share an old tape that they received from their ex. Neat, huh? Yeah. I thought so, too. The mixtapes are pretty good and so are the stories.

If you have time check out the site and let me know what you think.
