Action Pact day

Live 8 is going to be broadcast on XM, including one channel from Barrie, ONT. I think tonight, I am finally inspired to set up my XM... The Bear says they are just broadcasting 6 hours of it. I am so in love with internet radio and my ipod, I haven't set up my XM I got for my b-day back in March. I think I want to get the boombox to insert the XM receiver in as I don;t drive enough to have it specifically in the car.
Today I heard the new OLP on The Bear. It was really good, it had a really poppy chorus for them. They also interviewed Jeremy, he said they almost broke up recording it.
In Sloan news today, (can you believe I can find Sloan news daily?) I was at ASU's record store, Hoodlums today and turns out their manager is a huge fan. He was one of the wild guys requesting tunes at the show. He is on vacation, but I am going to go bug him about them soon. The owner Kristian was telling me that they are all fans of Canadian bands at Hoodlums! It came up because I was looking for The Vanity Project from Steven Page and Stephen Duffy. Then I asked if they knew if The Stripper Union Local was out in the states. (it is not) So we started talking Hip, etc... Then they said that......are you ready for this..... that Matt Good did an in store there...... could this be right or true? Andrew would have known or told me....weird!
Remember to vote for what artist I should make a purse of, any artist, as all I have to do is provide the LP! I think I have a few to choose from. I certainly have collected LPs for years. I haven't counted lately, maybe 3000? In my blessed life, Dan designed a closet specifically for my music collection. When we got our home addition, the closet was fitted for all my CDs and LPs. While working at Rockaway, I acquired alot more vinyl and now have more that I have shelves.
Today I had lunch with a gal who is in charge of the living learning communities here at ASU. She is newer to ASU but I have felt a bond to her right away. I don't feel that way about a lot of girls as basically, I don't trust a lot of girls. After a few girlfriends screw you over, you don't trust many girls to be genuine. Anyway, I could tell I liked her. She and I ended up talking as her dad is suffering from cancer. It is so hard to hear others going through the pain of seeing their parent suffer. I hope to think I helped her some, even if just an ear to bend. I sometimes wonder how strong I could be, being able to handle the type of loss I did in a short amount of time. I wanted to be strong for her and say the right things. I am hardly fine about things, just know others can benefit from talking to me about the things I also dealt with. She made me wonder why I didn't need more psychiatric help, maybe some day I still will. I just told her I watched how strong my mom was and knew I had to be that strong also and would always want to emulate that strength. It also made me remember again as I need a reminder sometimes, as to how strong Dan was through everything and how much he helped me get through everything. God truly placed Dan into my life with incredible timing!
Well, my blog got all serious today but I feel good as I feel she and I are now friends! Time for the whistle to blow-time to go home! Maybe tomorrow I will get my desk in my office clean. I got a second shelf of Star Wars started-yep they pay me for this stuff!! hahaha
