So, I began to try and take my nap today at around 1:30pm, and for the life of me I just could not get to sleep. Damn TV Show on VH1 gave me ideas, and so my brain would not shut down for a few hours. This is the idea that would not let me get some shut-eye:

I love music, and honestly, if you haven't figured that out by now, then here it is in black and white. :) Right at the top with my faith, family and friends, music is the end-all, be-all of my existence. Because of my passion for music of almost all kinds, I love being able to share new stuff with everyone--my listeners, my friends, my family, etc. Now when I say new, I'm referring to new music from both big/medium size aritists and bands, PLUS new music from indie and brand new musicians. Whether it be a new Rihanna track, Collective Soul, or a track from my friend Matt Toka, if it's worth sharing, I try to share it. With this thought in my mind, I have thought of sharing this with everyone. Now, I know there's Myspace Music and other web sites like that, but I've been thinking about creating a Myspace page or using this blog as a type of middle-man site. I want to share the new music I either dig up or receive from new artists, and even have either a daily or weekly poll on the music that I post. I want to do a written feature on the artists/bands and have the people give their opinion, their vote, their voice, and it be all wrapped up in one little place. Seeing that I have new bands ask to be my friend about once a day on Myspace, I want a chance to give them some help, and even send people to their sites/blogs/pages.

I know it seems maybe stupid or confusing or redundant, but I know that there's a reason why I have this love for music, why I'm in the radio biz, and why I couldn't go to sleep this afternoon. Even though I may not be able to play the music on my station (that whole co-host/program director being a kind-of "music snob" most times), I want to get it out there---From the big artists to the newbies of the group.
