Anything But Gray

One of the things that sucked about living in Alaska was the complete lack of radio stations.
For most of the time I lived there, there was like 2 stations…..country and rock. And not even good rock.
A couple years ago they started playing music from a couple of stations
from like Texas or something, but still nothing like the down south
stations. So one of the first things I did when we moved was to set up
a stereo in my dining room so I could have a radio playing all day. I
love having a radio going in the background. Love it.  

I keep it on 104.5 and it's a top 40 station that plays songs from the 80's to current songs. It's a cool station. And just the station itself reminds me of Dave and Wanda. Whenever they do their little jingle with the call letters "WXLO" it reminds me of Dave and Wanda. When I was about 15, I lived with Wanda and her parents for a little bit and they always had a radio on and this was the station they listened to. So this station is already sentimental to me (which just goes to show what a mush bag I really am….who the hell gets sentimental about a friggin' radio station…) and today I'm getting ready to  head outside and they start to play the commercial for the station….

"Playing hits from the 80's….."
and they play a snippet from this song….

Bon Jovi – Slippery When Wet – Never say goodbye

"Hey" I think "That's my song. Very cool…." This is a big song for me…it means a lot to me. And it reminds me of the people I love….like all of them, in one song. It's a long story that I've talked about before on my blog….why I never say goodbye to people I love. This song reminds me of that…..

Then they say…
"and the 90's…..
and they play a snippet from this song….

Concrete Blonde – Joey

"hey!" I think…"Another one of my songs….wow, if they do a "me" song for the hits of today, I'm gonna freak…." Now this song is really sentimental to me. It reminds me of J, this was the first song that she "dedicated" to me and the first song that made me think of her….."and when you said I scared you well I guess you scared me too." J and I became friends on the internet before it was "normal" to do that and we used to kind of get freaked out at how close we got, how fast. This line of that song always reminds me of that….And this reminds me of Ceci..Ceci sings this song really, really good and she has sung it to me at the bar before…."This is for you, Joey…" she says and it makes me feel so adored. 🙂

And then they say…."and today…."
and then they play a snippet of this…

Leona Lewis – Better In Time

"Holy crap" I think….
This is a very me song right now….been listening to this over and over lately. It reminds me of a lot that is too long to get into right now…..it reminds me of Shelly and of Kirk….

If you know me, you know I'm big on "signs" and I pay attention to them.
Apparently, at that very moment, I was supposed to be thinking of a bunch of people I love and care about.
And I did.
Because I am a mush bag like that.
