Deep Thoughts and Idle Chatter

As I pulled in the Driveway ending another busy week I Thanked the Lord for It all simply by Taking a deep breath and saying "ahh Thank you Lord!"
I did my usual Routine .Bring in the Mail and seperate mine from Nancys and Dans.It was all for Nancy and Dan except for the Ocean Star with we share.I let Bayou out and admired the way the sun was reflecting off the bay.Its a beauty of a day!I let Bayou Back in and gave her a biscuit.She sits at once.I pet her on the head when she take it from my fingers then she goes in the den and eats it.crunch crunch crunch!
Then I went and got a glass of coke and read the Ocean Star.The front page has a picture of soldiers carrying a flag draped metal coffin off a plane.He was only 20 years old.20 years old!Its so sad.He probably hadent had his first beer yet and Ill bet had a nice girlfriend and family crying their eyes out.
We gripe and moan about stupid stuff here and there are 20 year old kids dying to protect us from terrorist and get rid of the thugs in a country that doesnt care about theirs.
Got Problems at work?had a fight with your Spouse?Didnt make it home to watch the end of your soap opera?Those arent problems.seeing a metal coffin coming off the plame with your brother or son is!
He didnt die in vein though.He died doing what he beleived in for a country he loved.The USA!He took a bullet for us all!
OK now on a happy note..
I made a new playlist.actually its a 2 parter called A Really Mixed up mix 1 &2.
I'll post them on www.zenrunningorder.org
and I'll post them here too.
I got a notice saying there will be a meeting with the boss to discuss the situation with my employment.Normally I wouldnt worry but every now and then I get the What if Question rollin round my head.reduction in hours?pay freeze?
I've Been there 24 years.Im not certified in anything nor am I in the onion..oops I mean union.I hope I keep my job.
Im being very Careful not to oversleep and be extra good holding my tongue on my opinions on all the crap thats going on.
I know Give it to the Lord in Prayer, Trish.
Ill keep you posted!

strong winds didn't stop me

The day was beautiful.
After work I came home and Nancy was home.Brendan had a Doctors appointment and spend the rest of the day at home.I didnt ask questions but just asked how it went.Fine replied Nancy.
The Cherry Blossom tree was shedding its beautiful pink peddles which explaines why I wasnt feeling so good.Allergy Season is back for me!Untill I was 40 I never worried about allergies and then I was caughing,gagging and not sure what the heck was going on.Someone told me it was allergies.
I started with just Claritan and had to upgrade to Claritan D.I think the D stands for Dayam your allergies are bad!
After work I got changed and headed out on my bike.I couldnt fight the wind so it seemed I was peddling at a snails pace.I went to the Bank,the Library and to CVS to get my Claritan D and Finally a trip to the liquire store to get my White Zinfindel!
I like a drink or two on the weekends!
On the ride home the wind was hard again especially heading north!But it didnt stop me.It just slowed me down a few notches!

Music Review #2

PEGGY LEE-THE VERY BEST OF PEGGY LEE
Although she was popular befor I was Born theres Something about Peggy Lee that stands the test of time.Her locals are great and she swings.So Cool and so hip!
COOL RUNNINGS SOUNDTRACK
I used to have a rule not to get a soundtrack without seeing the Movie first but time and musical curiosity killed that.Among my faves on this album are Jimmy Cliff,and Wailing Souls.I like Wailing Souls cover of Talking Heads Wild Wild Life.

The Radioactive Mix

I was cleaning out my hallway closet today and found a few cassette tapes on the floor.I have 2 sheves of old cassette mixes I made in the late 1980s,-2003.Many People need to have a reason to make a mix like engagements,love songs and break up songs.For me I want the music to lift me up.I have enough stuff to remind me of bad times so I never did a break up mix.Oh sure I made mixes at the time I broke up with boys but that music is what helped heal the heartache so I never made heartache a subject.Oh heck im rambling.
Well anyways heres a mixtape I found that I made in 1986.

Music review #1

Here are 2 reviews of CDs I bought at todays yard sales
Peter Gabriel-So
I had this on cassette in the 80s and when I saw it at a yard sale today I bought it.A great Disc that still is What I beleive Peter Gabriels best work
The Clanned-Anam
Some call them new age others call them classical
This is a mellow and relaxing CD without being cheesy.Its a timess classic!

Dunkin Donuts and Yard sales.

I woke up to Maroon 5's "this Love"
I glaces out the window and saw the beatiful blue sky and knew I had to get up.I have my radio /alarm clock set to 93.5 the Point.
Why is it Liz is always getting picked on by Lou?
Those of you who listen to this station know where Im coming from and why does it seem Lou is yelling?
OK so the past 2 years I havent had much luck at garage/yard sales.
Today was going to be differant.
First I stopped at Dunkin Donuts for a Bagel and large coffee!Then the yard sale shopping began!!!!
I picked up a few CDs for a $1.00 a pop!
I also bought a portable hand held cassette tape recorder for $5.00!I may keep it for making notes for my blogs on the road.Ill also use it for listening to music at the beach.
20 some odd years ago I had one and attemped to tape live music from it but it didnt turn out well.I think it was a school concert or something.
I checked out each CD I bought for scratches except for the ones I bought from my Friends Knight & KC.I know they take good care of their music.
I founed out today that KC and I were a year apart in high school and she played flute in the Panther Marching Band!
Upon Learning this I gave her a high five.Yeah yeah i know ..with the swine flew around your really not supposed to be doing high fives but hey ya have a better chance of getting hit by a car around these parts!Besides I know KCs a clean girl..like me!
The day was beatiful and many bike riders and walkers were enjoying the day!I found some mad magazines and music related mags in my closet and got a few bucks for them at atomic CDs whiched comtributed to my yard sale purchases!
It may rain momorrow so Serious Spring cleaning is in the game plan.
Reviews of my music Purchases will follow soon.Also a new playlist and mix will follow.
Check back again soon for more cool music news,travels etc etc!
Peace and Love
Trish

As I sip my cold Pepsi My head basks in the sun

I arrived home after a busy week at work.Traffice isnt bad i thought Halfway home.Upon Pulling in the driveway I took a deep breath."Thank you Lord!"
My day started at 8am and I hit the ground running,brush my teeth etc,get dressed and out the door at 8:30 and get gas and then off to work.I had 7 minutes for coffee in the Boiler room.
As fridays go it was a roller coaster ride of busyness.When there was nothing in my to be copied box I had to find something to do.Patrol the grounds for trash,dust the handycap railing and make sure all the printers and copiers are filled with paper.
by 2:30 my glass of wine is closer to touching my lips.
I help off on my 1st glass til 4:45.Up till then it was Pepsi which is what I had when I got home from work,got into jeans and a t-shirt and just sat on a chair on the porch and decompressed.the warm sun felt good.
I heard Psychologists say to take 15 minutes for yourself after work to decompress.I beleive this.
Dont anylise the week or day this WILL stress you out.
just have 15 minutes of quiet for yourself and feel the decompression begin!
I had a glass of wine with dinner and 2 after dinner.Than I said OK enough.Lets be able to wake up tomorrow respecting ourselves.lol!
If tomorrow is really nice a long bikeride WILL be in order!a few mix CDs WILL be given out and it WILL be a great day!

Random thoughts and Idle chatter #1

I noticed that are cherry blossom tree has bloomed fully.Does that mean an onslaught of allergies will soon follow?Last year I made a cool May Mix but since last may Ive deleted some of the songs which means a slightly differance may mix this year for my new mix makin' friends.Speaking of music I put more music on request at the Library After swearing I wouldn't till I go through and get rid of stale seldom used tunes in my itunes.
I'll never run for an elected office.heck I cant keep my word to myself,how can I be trusted with a word to the public.lol!
OK actually I was going to make a special mix for someone at work and now shes doent want one.her loss!I'll still keep the tunes on hold and make a damn good mix anyway.Ha!
The only office I run for is the main office when they call for me over the PA system.Actually I speed walk running is the hall is prohibited unless your being chased by sasquatch,Godzilla or a Bear!
I went for my overdue annual check up and all is well but I need to get bloodword done and a mammogram and my ears cleans out so I walked out with 3 refferals!the wonderful and wonderment of the medical world.paperwork paperwork and more paperwork.Cricky!
oh I shouldnt complain though Im feeling pretty good for my age.not bad for an old girl!
back in a few days!

They're Back!

I just checked Martells Entertainment Calender just for the heck of it and the Dr Cheeko Island Band is Back!Best know for they're covers of Reggae and calypso Music Dr Cheeko also plays great Rhythm and Blues and Motown.Sit back and have a drink while groovin to the beat or get your booty shakin on the Dancefloor!Havin a rough day?Dr Cheeko and the boys have the cure for what ails you with their groovin' tunes!
They play every Saturday and Sunday starting at 1pm at Martells Tiki Bar on The Boardwalk in good ole Point Pleasant Beach NJ!

A great day of music and enviromental awareness

My day started at 8:15.I wanted to get up earlier but I wake up slowly.I got dressed brust my teeth etc and had a cup of tea.Then I went about the tasK of loading my DJ gear into the car.
When I got there Coey Sherman was unloading his gear off his truck.Amps and speaker were already set up for the band.Tyler and the others arrived shortly after.
After getting Set up Sheryls husband Joe and I realized my extention card would reach the outlet and he got me an extention to the extention.All went well.There were announcements before the Sherman brothers went on.A few high school kids read speeches they wrote on why they care for the enviroment.
The sherman brothers did great and Ed Austin played well too.Afterwards a group of young girls tapdanced and they were really good.
Then they did a hoola hoop cantest and I played Jack Johnsons song reduce reuse recycle and other upbeat songs.
Then a band called Soup sandwhich came on.The did some cool rock and surf instrumentals and did a cool rendition of Soul Finger.
Meantime I headed off for a bite to eat.I had a burger and a coke and then I walked around to check things out.
The DARE car is always impressive.The first aid trucks are too.Lots of work goes into both drug awareness and the first aid squad and sadly enough they are also feeling the economys pinch!We need our Teachers,emergency services and our law enforcement.I tried to stress that on occasion.
Near the end Sheryl and her posse tossed out a bunch of beach balls and I already had celebrate good times cued up so I played it.The kids were having fun.The song wemnt along perfectly.I was so happy.
I stayed till almost everyone was gone and provided good music for those folks packing stuff up and breaking down tents,tables etc.
The last song I played was "so long farewell" from the sound of music.
They had one of the guys with the go carts haul my gear to my car which I was thankful for.Loading up and breaking down is exausting but its a labor of Love so I still happy at the end of the day when those 35 lb speakers go into the closet.
I planned on a nice quet dinner...Then I saw I got a CD in the mail from a fellow mix maker.I had to play it.
Back in a few days with that and other news!

Thinking of More Earthday songs

So what am I doing at the computer on a Beautiful day?Going throught a few songs for earthday and thinking of More
Mercy Mercy me by Marvin Gayes in a great song,Eyes of the world by the greatful dead is too.
Yesterday as I was walking by bike up the Lovelandtown Bridge I saw a Broken bottle.I swept it aside with my foor.It angers me when I see stuff like that.Not only do folks on bikes us that bridge but also women with strollers and folks walking they're dogs.If you see folks tossing trash out the window of they're car get their Licence plate number if you can and report it to the police.Littereing is a crime and is worth a $200.00 fine is many places!
We are all Responsible for keeping our world clean!So as the old saying goes.Give a hoot don't Pollute!
Now for a little dinner and a walk with my ipod!

How to overcome low self esteem

Being In a special Ed class is Hard.I didn't Think Id Do much in life.This mindset followed me for many years.Betwwen my Sophmore and Junior year on hight school I was told something that changed my life. "Trish Your NOT retarded"
I took an aptitude test and although i was a slow learner It didnt mean i was retarded but Up till till That Point I thought I was!
Typing this brings tears to my eyes.OK Im Pulling myself ]together..breathe breathe..
In the spring of 1983 another Life Changing event occured.I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my savior.It was like a Cement block being lifted off my shoulders.Jesus Loves me and I must now put my faith and trust in Him!
Though the years i've learned just because someone says they are a Christian Doesn't make them perfect.When i heard someone say they were a beleiver I was shocked when i saw faults in them.The Only one who is perfect is Jesus!!!!I repeat THE ONLY ONE WHO IS PERFECT IS JESUS!
OK so here are my tips for gaining a good self esteem
1 Beleive in yourself
2 Beleive in a higher Power
3 You have a gift (mine is humor Music and a positive attitude)
4 Do the best you can each day
5 God loves you (remember that!)
6 We all have the gift to make the world a better Place!
7 God doesn't make Junk(so you are beautiful in his eyes!!!)

God Cares about your Heart.Some folks beleive fashion ,style are material things are the most impotant.You can be dressed to the nines and still be nasty.Look at hollywood for example.all those stars have fame and fortunes but are they all happy?

Read your bible and take what you read and live it.I know christians who say they are christians but the way they behave makes me wonder.
Dont Judge!
Listening to secular music doesnt make you a bad christian!
Where in the 10 commandmants does it say dont listen to secular music or Don't dance??
Those who Point fingers better look in the Mirror first!
Your too blessed to be stressed..oh but people will try to press your buttons.
When folks try to ruin your day give it up to God in prayer.My Mom gave me this advice often but even for her it wasn't easy.
How did I get this far?
Good Family
Friends
and
Faith
yup.Those 3 elements are the key to my sanity
Family
Friends
and Faith!
I hope these words have been a sorce of inspiration for YOU!
Peace and Love to ALL Readers
Trish

My Music History

When I was young I wasnt exactly the fastest Learner.I was Placed in a special Ed class.I didnt have many friends because I felt like an outcast.I had the Chicken pox at 8 or 9 My dad lent me his Zenith Transister radio to help me fall asleep and it worked.I remember falling asleep to Neil Youngs After the gold rush.For my birthday I got my own transistor radio.I loved it and fell asleep to it every night.
Soon after I got a portable tape recorder.I used to tape songs off the radio.
AM radio in the late 60s and upto mid 70s was cool.One yeah I got a AM/FM radio for Christmas.FM changed my world.
Still without many friends the radio was my friend.When I came home from a hard day at school I looked forward to playing back my radio mixtapes.
When I entered high school things got better socially.A teacher Gave a friend of mine some 45s.The one she didnt want she gave to me.and if I wanted to borrow some she let me.I got the idea to tape them onto cassette so I could get here back the records.Backround noise was an issue with external mics.The song order was good but sound quality stunk.
Technology advanced to my delight in the 80s and so did I .
I got a job shortly after graduating high school,saved up money and bought my first decent stereo with a dual cassette deck,am/fm Stereo and a turntable.When I made mixes there was no backround noise.
fast forward the mid 80s.
I was at my Godmothers wedding and at the reception my Cousin Steve put on these awsome wedding mixtapes he made.He introduced me to other genres I liked.World music and reggae.
That summer I got an idea to make my dad a mixtape for his birthday.I covertly borrowed his records while he was at world and return them and did my best to put them back in the Same order.Ollie North would have been pround.lol!
Dad Loved the mix and asked where I got the music.I fessed up but told him I got turned onto Louise Armstrong and Ella.
I started making mixes for Other Family and friends and got positive feedback.
In the early 90s I helped our School Custodian DJ Dances .Id put on Head phones and cued up tapes to requested songs.Tapes gave way to CDs but I still hung with him and made announcements,and fetched soda and food for him.
One time he was sick I I was asked to DJ.He can in to hook thing up but didnt DJ.I did.I had fun and the kids liked what I played.
frank called me the next day to tell me he heard I did a great Job.
Around 2000 I stated Deejaying the school fairs using his set up!
In 2008 I saved up anough to buy my own gear.
My first official gig was a 40th Birthday Party for a friend.Seeing so many folks on the dancefloor gave me a natural high.Frank tough me and I learned well.
I contunie to DJ Fundraisers and the school fair to this day.

Its Friday!

Fridays here
Im in the mood for Chinese or a sub.Dang Im undecided.A bikeride is called for.It stopped raining and I must mail a package for work.I should have dropped it off before coming home but remembered Its a late day and Poor Bayou needs to go out.Bayou's my sister and brother in laws dog.I live in a mother/Daughter house with them.Its kind of like a 2 family house.I let Bayou out Everyday after work and give her a biscuit.
My next blog with me more of where I left off last night or early this morning shall I say.
I have yet to learn how to add Pictures ,Images etc but Ill do that at some point this weekend.Right now I must take a bikeride while the weather permits.
Later
Trish
