This is a podcast that should have been recorded in October but little things got in the way like, school, work, marriage...you know, life. I finally buckled down and push this podcast out because I opened my big mouth and said I was doing a 2 hour podcast which I will not ever do again. I enjoyed recorded the podcast but when it comes to show notes, that's a different story. I was blessed because this can still be burned to a CD.

I made one mistake. I said "December" instead of "November" so forgive me for that mishap. A lot of great music so sit back, relax and enjoy.

how I look and feel after this week

Here is what I have been up to this past week,

I am looking forward to this weekend. Sure I have homework, grandchildren over, digging out the Christmas Tree but this weekend will be a little different. What is it? Let me see...oh, I know...I do not have to work this weekend. I am so looking forward to this weekend.

Hopefully I have the strength to work on this podcast which I should have recorded back in October but time and laziness took over (that doesn't sound like a good excuse huh?) Class was pretty cool this past Tuesday and I found my digital software for my digital recorder (I have a Sony and Olympus recorder) so I'm happy about that which will be easier for me to record class notes and convert them. I heard a wonderful podcast interview [see my post entry from earlier today] with Anji Bee and Macedonia. Me being the audio geek that I am it was so cool to hear the "behind the scene" in reference to learning about the person(s), their insight on music, how they produce their shows.

I want to get out at least one more podcast for the month of November because I have at least 3 podcast I wish to produce in December but I'm not putting pressure on myself in getting them out because as I heard Macedonia said, this is Internet Radio on Demand. I'm hoping to do another MyLoveForMusic Inspiration show, a ThriftStoreGems Spotlight on 3 of my favorite LPs by Acoustic Alchemy and my favorite music picks for 2008.

The election is a little more than a week old and I have found myself not watching as much television and listening to NPR, BOTT Radio Network, podcasts or sometimes just listening to the golden age of "Silence"...it's a beautiful thing I must say. I did not realize so much noise I was allowing in my life while the days up to the election. I'm really thrilled and happy and what's really cool is that how young Republicans has come up to me and said, "I wished McCain would have won but hey since Obama is our next President, let's begin to heal our nation." It's amazing that how the older generation can learn from our young counterparts because in their eyes it's like, "hey we lost but hey, the sun came up the next day, the birds are chirping...life goes on."

Young America...you keep teaching more and more how to appreciate life.
Have you checked out the site from MTV? mtvmusic.com is one of the coolest sites! Why didn't they think of this years ago since MTV and VH1 doesn't play videos anymore...well, worth while videos to watch that is. The other cool thing is that you can embed them on your blog which is really cool for me because I can now dig through there and find some smooth jazz, new age, and other artists I followed in the 80s...very sweet. :-D My geek brother Luis, who I think is a gifted photographer will allow me to begin using some of his work when producing my podcast, that's going to be a huge blessing for me. I have to get back in to taking photographs, I just havent' had time but I need to begin making time.

BTW...There was many great music podcasts produced in reference to the election and if you haven't checked them out check out my November 12th post for the links to these wonderful shows.

Well, that's it for now. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Be Blessed, Be Safe,
& Have a Wonderful Friday & Weekend people.

Later Gators.

Anji Bee & Jason aka Macedonia

Podcast to Check Out
Chillcast/Radio BSOTS Collabocast

I don't know if Anji Bee does these collabocast on a regular basis but I hope this is a trend that keeps going...

Two podcasters that I have the utmost respect got together and have one of best conversations I have ever heard. Jason Smith aka "Macedonia" of Radio BSOTS opens up with Anji Bee gives us insight on when and how radio bsots came to existence. If you want to know about true dedication when it comes to producing a podcast this is the man to listen to and I am truly glad he decided to share the masses because for me this gentleman and others (Fave, ejflavors, todd kelley, Fresh) has encouraged me to hang in there with this podcasting genre.

This conversation reminds me of an Echoes living room interview where you get the inside track of the person on their thoughts on music, where it's been, where it's going and where it will end up in the future. Listening to Jason (Macedonia) I am truly an "audio geek" myself. As Jason said, video is cool for some people but for him he is a audio guy. The main reason why I truly enjoyed this sit down conversation between Anji Bee and Jason is that you feel you are there with them, kicked back, relaxed, being informed and being entertained at the same time. Another thing that is so cool to me is that even though I am older than these two gifted podcasters is that how in the end how they both still love vinyl while embracing the digital age. While I truly dig mp3s, mp3 players, I enjoy converting cassette LPs, I enjoy reading the liner notes of the artists, producers, engineers.

So many cool things from the hour and half Jason reminds that when producing podcast it's like Chris Penn said, "Internet Radio on Demand". Just because I produced and post or a podcast doesn't mean that people will hear that show that day. It may be the next day, it may be next week, next month...the point is that people are listening to your show. I think that is where I would have my little pity party and feel sorry for myself but when I hear it explained this way by Jason it makes me feel much better about what I do.

Anji Bee and Jason discuss why they like the audio genre, the video genre, what works for them, what does not, the challenges ahead in reference to audio podcasting, how they search for new music, (I have to admit, I'm on iodapromonet and now jamendo) and wonder why Tuesday is the drop day for new music for iTunes, Iodapromonet, the theme music for BSOTS[Jonny Sonic], wonderful information for a audio geek like myself.

If you want to get to know Jason a little more this is the podcast to check out.

Keep 'em coming Anji, keep 'em coming.

Devotional from Our Daily Bread: Gossip-Free Zone
Biblical Passage: Proverbs 25: 8-18

I know this is going to sound bias and I'm going to sound like a male chauvinist pig so I'm getting that out of the way right now but I often tell people that the only women I enjoy working around are geek women. With geek women gossip is truly at a minimum. They care about their appearance but I have never heard them tear down another woman, well at least while I'm around. They are not into dumb shows like Desperate Housewives, Girlfriends, Sex & the City, The Starters Wife (while USA Network airs that show I will never know), Tyler Perry movies...yes I said it.

Gossip is something I have heard men and women do from time to time and it's very easy to get caught up in it. Gossip is one of those subtle sins that before you know it you're right in the middle of that mess. You don't think you get caught up in it? Have you ever read PEOPLE, US, Star magazines? Have you ever watch any so called Reality shows?

*my hand goes up slowly

It's amazing so many things that are positive that surrounds us and many times we are drawn to the negative. There is the Travel Channel, Discovery Channel, TLC, National Geographic Channel, heck for me The Weather Channel is productive (they play some of the best smooth jazz when showcasing "The Local on the 8's"). Do you own a mp3 player? So many positive podcast are out here from pastor Greg Laurie, Paul Sheppard, Dr. Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah, Tony Evans, the late Adrian Rogers & Dr. J. Vernon McGee, Michael Yousef, James McDonald...and these are national pastors and I'm sure that there are local pastors in your area that great teachers of God's word. You have some great music podcast (mine included...hint, hint), great tech shows and yet we sometimes get sucked into the gossip abyss.

I love the book of Proverbs. If you ever want sound, no nonsense every day advice this is the book to read a chapter a day. So much is written about gossip because God knows that is where the majority of all problems begin...word of mouth. If we want our children, our grandchildren gossiping or talking ill of people we as adults must lead by example when it comes to what we read, what we watch, what we say. Let's begin to make our home, our speech a "Gossip-Free Zone".

Be Blessed, Be Safe,
& Have a Wonderful Monday

What has not been said about this historic event. For me being Black, being a man lets me know that our country is showing that we can come together when we really need to and to allow a person of color to steer this ship called the United States. Many thanx for all my fellow podcasters who produced some of the best podcasts in reference to this glorious moment and a big, BIG thanx to all of the young voters who proved the pundits wrong that yes you do care what's going on in your future and others around you. Young Americans are not slackers, they strivers like the generation that came before them.

Enjoy.

With so much that has went on these past 24 months a chapter has finally finished in this book with another chapter beginning very soon...Barack Obama was been elected President of the United States. This for many people, especially Black men gives us that extra boost to allow us to dream a little bit more, hope much further, to put in our mind, heart, and spirit that yes, if we do truly work harder, keep our eyes on the prize we can truly achieve. So many wonder podcast has hit the web (from TGrundy, EJ Flavors, DJ Diva, Macedonia, Fave, Doug Fresh) that summed up the spirit on how many people were feeling...Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, people of Middle East decent, young, old. This indeed is a very wonderful time given the past 8 years we have had to endure.

With my podcast is a time for rest...not a long rest...just rest for about an hour or so because we know it's a very steep, uphill battle for President-elect Obama. He truly needs our prayers because his every move will be under a microscope. Big shout outs go to my fellow podcasters, my twitter/plurk/Vox community. The collection of music is to try and unwind you for a little spell. I will have links to other podcasts that is a must have for your mp3 player or burn to a cd.

Enjoy.

Our Daily Bread: Waiting
Biblical Passage : Psalm 70 (New Living Translation)

There are so many ways to approach this subject on patience. I thought I was a patient person but then a situation comes up from time to time and I see I have a long way to go. There are some things I can just sit back and wait and other things I wish it would come and be over with (like the election...thank goodness it is over). It's amazing when waiting on God to respond to certain things in my life I want him to act "right now, CHOP, CHOP!

But I realize I am on His time table and not the other way around and deep down I know in the end it is always in my best interest. I think back on past relationships that I knew "man she is right for me" and now I look back and say, "Thank you Jesus for not answering that prayer." I have to get this through my head day in and day out which is so true each day I am on this earth, God ways are not my own ways plain and simple. He knows what I need in my life, what I need to pursue, what I need to avoid but it's up to me that when I go His way that I learn how to realize that while I'm waiting, God is working.

Now waiting on God does not mean I just sit back at do nothing. This means I keep doing what is right for my family, for myself and just know that God is working it out in my favor and I'm not going to lie that is not easy to do many times but if I don't want to start from zero it's best to do it His way. The next time you read about Abraham or about Jonah read how when they did not do it God's way and not have patience how many times that they were placed at the very starting point where they began. I have had those kind of situations and let me tell you, the older you get the less fun that is beginning all over again. You begin to learn that doing it God's way, the right way saves you so much unnecessary grieve.

Not being patient, doing it your own way will work for you for a little while but when it falls apart, it falls apart hard and your ways breaks in sometimes a million pieces and sometimes you cannot put it back together again and in the end you are left with the three famous words many hate to say and go through, "shoulda, woulda, coulda". Learning not rush God is a lesson that will save you heartache in the very end...but being a Follower of Christ we already know this right?

RIGHT!?!

Our Daily Bread Devotional: Serve Or Die
Biblical Passage: Mark 10:35-45 (New Living Translation)

You hear this all the time, "If God is a loving God, why does he allow suffering in the world?" Straightforward question and here is the straightforward answer: God has given HUMANS, yes, You and I, domain over the world. It's amazing how we forget things like this. We want to do want we want, live anyway we want to live but when trouble hits the world or our little part of world we want God to wipe the slate clean.

God has blessed us all with a very solid blueprint on how to handle things in the world...the Holy Bible. I have to be honest, whenever I have wholeheartedly obeyed God I can not say He has ever forsaken me. But I have to keep telling myself when I live God's way I am on his time table, not my own. I may get upset with him wondering why doesn't He move in my life when I want Him to but I am old enough now to know that many times I get myself in certain situations that has caused me grief. I was the one that went right when God told me and has taught me to go right. When you get real and honest with yourself it humbles you and you begin not to play the "blame game" so much which many Christians and non-Christians do now.

I'm I say that all Christians have this "oh whoa is me" attitude? Of course not. But we have to get to a put that we as Followers of Christ can not disobey God and assume that we can treat Him as our own Genie in the bottle and wipe our mistakes away. He can do that but what would he have learned from our mistakes? There is the other scenario...there are things that popped up in our lives that we have no control over and it will bring us heartache and at the time it hurts like heck and we have every right to asked God why. Job asked God why, Many prophets in the Bible as God why. In the book of Psalms King David asked God why time and time again but what I have learned to ask God now is not "why" but "what can I learn from this situation." Now that I have learned that very important key it stops me from being a victim to becoming a conqueror.

We must come to the realization that God has put us in charge of the world. It is not God that fail people, we fail people but every day we have the power to correct this mistake when we wake up each morning.

Be Blessed, Be Safe,
