I am testing, testing from ping.fm

If this works, my life just got really awesome. More later kids..........

Such a beautiful day!

Man o man, is it one of the best days to live in San Diego. The sun is shining and it's warm. Ah, I bet my friends on the East Coast are hating us today. SO I was thinking of some of my favorite sunny day songs, here is a list of some that I am really digging.

Cee-lo "Gettin' Grown"
Atmosphere - "Sunshine"
Justin Timeberlake - "Summer Love"
Lily Allen - "LDN"
Talib Kweli - "I Try"
Jack Johnson - "Inaudible Melodies"
Erykah BAdu "Back in the Day"
Lupe Fiasco - "Daydreamin'"

All these songs make me smile as I feel the warm sun warming me up from the inside out. I am so ready for summer. I do love the colder months, but after this taste of warmth today, I am ready. The weather has been to inconsistent to start warming up the pool, but when it's time, I'll be so excited.
**************************************************************************************************************************

So I have been doing a ton of Bible reading. Right now I am in 1 Samuel and it's such a great book. I am now excited to pick up and read everyday. The first parts of the Old Testament are really hard to get through. The almost 300 laws God has to lay down on Moses is enough to make your eyes droop just a bit. Recently I have been really meditating on a verse:

2 Timothy 1:7 "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a pirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." It just makes me realize what He made us for. God made us to be super loving, to be powerful through Him and to be able to hold back. It makes me feel great, because I have been holding back with many thing recently. The desire to smoke is almost completely gone. Along with that, I am over drinking a lot as well. Smoking and drinking for me have gone hand and hand, without one, I don't really crave the other.

The one huge thing I get from this verse is that God did not make us to be these timid and scared people. I am not scared anymore to tell other what I believe and how awesome the Lord really makes me feel. I love it! I feel better the more I let Him in.

*************************************************************************************************************************
My 31st year of life is coming upon me. I am looking forward to my 30s and leaving the confusion and uneasy-ness of my 20 behind. I learned so much, and I am really excited to see what the rest of this decade has in store.

Here's you art.... Enjoy

I think I am falling in love.....

Yeah, I might be falling in love with an industry that my never love me back. It's radio. I am hooked. I want to learn everything possible that you can do in radio and do it. I would love to do voice overs, commercials, production and DJ(ish). It's such a fickle and brutal industry, yet it's something that I get.

Recently I have been doing the board op duties for the Garden Compass Radio show. In San Diego you can hear it on AM 1700 here in SD or you can check it out online @ http://www.gardencompass.com/

I love what I do and the people I work with. Get your plant on!




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I quit smoking for anyone who cares and I think it's one of the best decisions I have ever made. I can't even imagine myself as a smoker anymore and it's amazing! This is the first itme in my life that I have decided to quit smoking for myself. All I have done is used the nicotine patch and lots of prayer. It's funny because I have always been told that you can do anything if you bring God into the situation. I never really got it until I tried it. Anytime I have felt the need to go crazy and smoke a pack of cigarettes, I just say a quick prayer and the desire just goes away. I love it and it just makes me see how this verse is absolutely true:

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."

It's something that I meditate all the time and it gives me hope when I know I can't do it on my own.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Speaking of the Lord, I have commited to reading the entire Bible this year from start to finish. Right now I am in the Book of Judges. So far, it's been such a great read. God did some amazing things waaaaay back when. I sometimes wish I could get in a time machine and go and just watch everything unfold. For instance, I never really realized how many Jews that Moses lead through the Red Sea. It was hundreds of thousands of people. When you think about how many people that is, it's just astounding and shows how might God really is.

Another interesting bit of information to me is, how many rules that God gave to his people. Thank God for Christ or I would have been stoned by now. Man, if you haven't sat down and actually read the Bible cover to cover, I HIGHLY recommend it. I am using the Living Bible so that I don't get lost in the words and so that I understand it a little better. Try it out, there is a link to that Bible on my previous post if you want to check it out!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My life is on a totally new path...... more to come.......

It's about time

that I really start using my blogspot account. This is ridiculous. And yes, a few of my friends started blogging again, so I am a copy cat. If it bothers you that much, write a letter to management......... yeeesh.


So right at this very moment I am uploading CDs for my boyfriend to my computer, so he can upload them on his iPod. Some of the artisits include:

Pantera (I'm fine with)
P.O.S. (Hip hop that you really should listen too)
Living Legends (See above)
Sugar Ray (apparently they were once good)
Metallica ( meh =/)
White Zombie ( can't stand it!)
Beastie Boys ( the best!)
The Beavis and Butthead Soundtrack (he's a child of the 90s, what do you want)


One of the songs on the soundtrack is titled "Lesbian Seagull" and is sung by Ingleburt Humperdink. This maybe the greatest song title I have ever heard in my life. It's worthy of my Facebook status update.

******************************************************************************************************************************

I work in radio now, which is interesting and fun to say the least. It is such a trip that it took me this long to chase one of my lifelong dreams. I feel such a nerd gushing over it. I get paid crap, I have no medical benefits what-so-ever and I work really odd hours......... and I love it so much. I am really getting the hang of it and am really starting how to figure it all out. It;s like making art with audio. I just feel like I have finally found something that I might be good at.

The BEST part is that I am getting to work with a morning show that I have been following for about 4 years. At the same time I feel super guilty because it came about because the person doing this job was laid off. It's so conflicting! Helping out the show though is only temporary, but it is great to get some morning show experience. Other than that, I have starting to figure some things out about production and using audio. If you had told me this was going down a year ago, I would have never believed you at all.

It's also such a BRUTAL industry without a ton of security. I know it's worth the risk. To me, you can't put a price on this knowledge and experience and all the things it has the potential to lead to.

*******************************************************************************************************************************

I've decided to read the whole Bible this year. I am only 4 books in, but thank God I am not Jewish. The amount of rules and regulations would makes my head spin.

I think the ONLY reason that this is actually getting done is the fact that I am reading it via "The Living Bible". It is a kind of summarized version of the Bible, written in plain English. It is dope! If you want to check it out, it's on Amazon.com


*******************************************************************************************************************************

I am tapped for right now. The blog is back.

Here's your art for the day

The little baby steps

Tiny little baby steps are what I am taking right now. IT's hard to sum up all of the personal issues I have been dealing with in the last six months. i feel like I have been so broken and recently, the pieces are slowly being put back together. These tough times have made me see the world in a totally different light, but not completely in a bad way. I feel as though I have more perspective and tougher skin. And honestly, I will just put this out there, it's brought me so much closer to the Lord. It's exciting and very scary all at the same time. At this point it's very hard for me to put it into words without getting very emotional. Everything is going to be alright and I am so interested to see what the next 6 months of my life will be like.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I now know what it is like to have a piece of technology change my life. Thank you Steve Jobs.... i now understand what all the hype is all about. This is the easiest computer I have ever used and I didn't feel like such a retard when I was setting this puppy up. Genius. Bye bye PC world, Hello land of yuppies! It is just truly a great thing to be able to download apps and get music wherever there is a free wireless network. this is just nuts. i can't believe the smile on my face. I put like a thousand songs on this bad boy. i will never hear the same thing twice. Please no one steal this from me at work. Thank you very much.

I love all that visit this blog and I try to give you something to look at. I get lazy and don't want to type as much sometimes. This is a really cool weekend for me. For those of you who don't know, I am known as P1 Quimby and for the last 3 1/2 years I have been listening to a wonderful morning show here in San Diego. It's called the Mikey Show and it is quite literally, the best radio show on the freaking planet in the the last 20 years. And during the time I have been listening, I call in on a regular basis, participate at events they hold and have been very involved with a fansite called. My wonderful friend Danny had the idea and put it into motion. Anyhoo..... the are bestowing upon me an amazing honor. i am being inducted into their first ever "Hall of Fame. And they are treating myself and 6 other gentlemen (Spaceboy, Taalon, Sanjaya, Danny, T-Rex, and Paparazzi" like feaking celebrities. Nothing like this has ever happened to me, ever. The "prizes" that we get are, well in a word DYNAMITE! I'll blog about what all goes down after it's all said and done.

Do me a favor, listen to this damn show and go to P1 Site and for audio and blogs by the show.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And Now for your ................. some amazing art................... to culture you.




Have a good week...................

Well here I am

Okay so I am finally back to writing a blog again officially. i am now a proud owner of a Mac Book and I could be happier!!! This is the first computer that is mine!!!


For the longest time I tried to rebel against Steve Jobs and i have finally craved and become a full on yuppie. I must say, it is not very bad at all.

===============================================================================

So this whole Presidential Race has me all kinds of confused. Who the hell is really better for this country?? I don't know what to make of politics. Every time people start discussing it, it makes me want to fall down and puke. No joke. I just have no real interest in politics and it seems to me that no one is really that great for the country. Ahhhhhh!!!!! just blogging about it make me want to die on the inside.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++





This show has completely taken over my life. I love Big Brother SO much. it's such a great show! I would really love to get a chance to be on that show and go for the chance at 500,000 dollars. It's the ultimate psychology experiment. You are completely cut off from the world and forced to deal with all personality types, no TV, no radio, no movies, no going out to dinner and subjected to these crazy games to ensure your ability to eat and not have to wear a unitard. the show is absolutely brutal and I really think I would be up to the challenge. You may think I am Gay for loving this show so much........ well the answer is yes.


==============================================================================

it is so late. i should not be up this late, but this computer is consuming me! My whole life has just been updated technology wise. I am upoading every CD I own on to my ITunes library. I got an iPod touch as well. This is all so crazy. It uses wireless technology....so I can download songs right from the device. SO AWESOME. And I can check my facebook account with it. I wounder if there is wireless at my work..... We shall find out..........

My life is getting really different. i can't explain it, but things are changing....HELL i am changing.

===============================================================================

Oh so hear is some beautiful art for you to look and enrich your life with

These are the last 3 CDs I uploaded:









GET THEM.

No title whatsoever.

Well hello. I haven't written in days so , like , here I am. Oh my gaw.

I don't have so much to say. I am just not feeling super creative. I have been working like a dog, trying to throw in a workout every day, goof around online and contribute to the P1 Army front. Right now life is exhausting right now. I want to be a good friend and I feel like a jerk if I can't give my friends my time. Ah, I think I am just going through a busy season right now. Life has suddenly taken off lately, I can't believe it's been 5 months since Ben passed away. It's gnarly.

On the note of Ben, I swear I can see and feel him everywhere. He really left his mark in this world. I am am going to find his testimony and post it soon. Just to keep his spirit alive. I have no idea who reads this blog, but my brother Ben was such a sweet and caring guy. SO much. His prayer list was enormous and he took the time to pray for anyone he ever met. I'll always have a piece of him in my heart and I hope he knew how much I really did love him!



I hope I get to see him again one day. It's weird not having a sibling that lives near me. My sister is like a 1000 miles away, but she is in a good place where she's not tempted by her demons and is moving forward in her life.

Sometimes it's hard. I do kind of feel alone, but I am not in a dark place. I just looked out for those two so much as we grew up, so it's weird that I am just looking out for Katy now. SO weird.

=============================================================================================

So on to a brighter note.

PODCASTS!

If you own an iPod and you don't get podcasts you are missing out! If you love talk radio or just great stories in general, you have to pick up:

"This American Life"


Ira Glass above is the host and I believe on of the executive producers. He has a voice that is smooth as silk and the episodes are so rich, interesting and different. There is now a show in Showtime, that is the TV version of said podcast. Go to iTunes and tune in now. Don't Wait!!!

I also get the daily shows of "Frosty, Heidi and Frank" which is a mid-day show up in LA on Free FM. Super funny and entertaining.

==========================================================================================

There has been so much talk lately with my friends about religion, faith, gay marriage, sin and all kinds of stuff. There are so many things that are great about being a Christian. The everlasting love, the promise of eternal life, and a knowing that you aren't alone in this world. It make me really mad sometimes, that man screwed it up, and then maybe I don't feel so bad because, well we're human. To me being a Christian is about showing people unconditional love and kindness. I am not here to judge anyone. At one time in my life I had lost faith a bit in Christianity and then I discovered this guy,


Jay Bakker. Son of Tammy Faye Bakker and Jim Bakker. The page for his Church is not working but it's called the Revolution Church and he's trying to bring forth the message that Jesus was trying to bring to us all. I found this page on Wikipedia. Check this guy out, he's awesome and I am going to read his biography soon...... updates to come!
