It's been too long.

Because you asked for it and because it's just fun to do, we are bringing back Pogo-a-Gogo! Every Tuesday night / Wednesday morning immediately following The Deathsquad Show we bring you Pogo-a-Gogo.

Starting tonight!

Pogo-a-Gogo is a weekly factual discussion of serial killers, a different one each week. Kittyn has been studying serial killers for over 25 years and her bank of knowledge is vast in this area. It is not a celebration of serial killers or a groupie show, it is a discussion of the killer and perhaps different aspects of the case not highlighted in the news.

Tonight's show will be on David Berkowitz and his connection to the Process Church of the Final Judgment. Was the Son of Sam the lone killer or just one of many puppets of the Process? We'll talk about that and about how Berkowitz now refers to himself as the "Son of Hope" in his new life as a devout Christian.

Tune in tonight at midnight as we proudly bring you David Berkowitz and Pogo-a-Gogo, sporting its spiffy new intro!

Come to the chatroom during the show for even more in-depth discussion!

I made it through week one.

My levels, as the kidney man put it, "are not great but not bad. They're exactly the same as when you were on dialysis."

Not the best but enough to keep me off the filters for another week.

I have this sneaking suspicion at the end of the 8 weeks he's going to tell me it's not bad enough to need the dialysis for now but not good enough to hold me in the future. My gut voice is telling me he's going to say transplant.

I'm going to try something new for the month of September. With the exception of my weekly McDonald's I'm going healthy for a full month. Yogurt, cottage cheese, salad, everything I don't eat now that I should. Nightly walking whether the catheter in my chest hurts or not.

I asked him if there was anything I could do or eat to help and he said no but getting in better shape can't do anything but good. Nothing fits me anymore with the weight dropping off (the puke fountain has its advantages I suppose) so it's time to work on toning.

People keep telling me I look good but I don't see it. I look in the mirror and I see sick kidneys and dead eyes.

The leaves are starting to turn outside in the front, I survived another horrid summer. I have reverse seasonal issues, I hate the summer so much. I get moody and sad and cranky and I hate it. I keep waiting for that first cool crisp night when I come back to life.

Friday I go back to the kidney man and I plan to ask about getting this stupid catheter out of my chest. If need be they can put another one in or I can grow up and let them needle the graft, it's time for this thing to go. I'm tired of my jugular vein sticking out, I'm tired of itching and hurting 24/7, I'm tired of feeling like a freak of nature with tubes coming out of my chest. I don't think I've ever hated anything in life as much as this catheter.

Blood test number 2 is Thursday, I've been eating like a pig over the weekend. It's tuna and yogurt for the next two days.

Day by day, it's all day by day. Amazing how much my attitude has changed. I haven't given up planning for the future but it's not priority anymore. It's all about right now. If I had died on the den floor that day what the hell would I have to show for myself? A bunch of incomplete plans for the future I never got? No thanks.

And so begins the month without any junk food.

Yes, yes it's true.

There will be a show tonight and I've added a few new songs. Last week was wonderful, there were so many requests I hardly had to blather! Woo!

Expect a bit more blathering tonight, a little ranting about the mentality of MUDders and the usual level of nonsense and fun. Maybe even a new contest for listeners, who knows.

So come on into the chatroom and say hey and join the madness. We'll start somewhere around 9 and run till 11. Have your holiday BBQ and then come digest to me!

Here's a link to the songs added this week for your convenience. I aim to please.

Tonight! Mojo Radio Live!

They say that love often passes in a second
And you can never catch it up
So I'm hanging on to you as though eternity beckons
But it's clear that the match is rough
Common sense's tell me not to try'n continue
But I'm after a piece of that diamond in you

So keep an eye open
My spirit ain't broken
Your love is so incredible
Your body so edible
You give me an overdose of love
Just a little is enough

I'm like a connoisseur of champagne cognac
The perfume nearly beats the taste
I eat an oyster and I feel the contact
But more than one would be a waste
Some people want an endless line that's true
But all I have to have's a little time with you

A smile sets me reeling
A kiss feel like stealing
Your love is like heroin
This addict is mellowing
I can't pretend that I'm tough
Just a little is enough

Just like a sailor heading into the seas
There's a gale blowing in my face
The high winds scare me but I need the breeze
And I can't head for any other place
Life would seem so easy on the other tack
But even a hurricane won't turn me back

You might be an island
On the distant horizon
But the little I see
Looks like heaven to me
I don't care if the ocean gets rough
Just a little is enough

Common sense's tell me not to try'n continue
But I'm after a piece of that diamond in you
So keep an eye open
My spirit ain't broken
Your love is so incredible
Your body so edible
You give me an overdose of love
A little is enough

I didn't know for sure until now.

I really feel awful so don't look for much of a show but there will be a show.

9PM-ish!

Forgive my lack of personality in this post, I puked out my charisma right after my charm.

See you in the chat!

The Plan.

A year ago I started making payments on SAM. What SAM is is a wonderful and very extensive program that will override the Live365 settings and run the station. It works in conjunction with Live365 but the music is not coming out of the Live365 playlist. This is a good thing as we are limited to 1000mb of space for music on the Live365 account and we use it all.

The only limit to the amount of songs you can run with SAM is the space where the music is stored. Spiffy.

SAM also generates an accurate playlist of all the songs on the station and gives people the chance to make a request! This is very cool, even when we're not live you can still make the mojo yours by making a request and hearing it played withan an hour (in accordance with Live365 rules).

It's a wonderful program but it's not something you spend all that money on and treat lightly. I started the 5 payment plan a year ago but couldn't pay that last payment until now. So now we're a go.

I have my other computer up here, my first last HP before this one. It's not a super machine but it was great for its time and it's a stable thing. I have lightning-fast business class broadband up here, another plus.

So the plan begins to form. Why not take the other HP and use is solely for SAM? Store all the music there and run SAM off of there. DJs can have remote access to the machine so they can use it for live broadcasting or whatever they want. It's up 24/7 and even if it goes down in a storm we still have the stuff on Live365.

Step one was to order a KVM switchy thing at the suggestion of Mango. I didn't even know such things existed and it was much easier on the wallet than a second monitor.

Today I sucked it up and ordered an internal 500GB hard drive and another RAM stick. It can only handle so much RAM but 1.5GB is enough for one application.

I want to fill up this 500GB hard drive with so much music it's not even funny.

Of course this means a lot of work for Meathe, once again I thank the Lady Fate that he has the patience of a saintly Seal and the knowledge to make this all come together. He's going to have to remotely go into the other computer and do all the setting up of the stuff and the .php end as well. I'm useless, I can add songs and diddle the .php but don't look at me to set up sql from the getgo. Nuh uh.

It's going to be pretty awesome once it's done, I've been waiting for this forever it seems. I love the thought of letting people make requests and I love not having to manually make a default playlist page that needs manual updating. I love the stats it shows you and the funky things it gives you. We've had an upswing in listeners and interest lately, I can't think of anything better to keep the momentum going.

Of course there's the reality end. That's a total of $500 I've spent this month alone on an internet radio station in a world that's chock full of internet radio stations. Do I kid myself or delude myself that this is somehow going to hurl us into the big leagues? No, no I do not. A year ago I would have said yet but not anymore. I'm not doing this to get noticed. I'm doing this because it's really awesome and it will make the listeners happy and maybe attract a few new friends. I can eat filet mignon without thinking I'm anything special, ya know? I'm doing this because I want to. I like it, my co-owners like it, my DJs like it. I have a mont-blanc pen I use for writing everything and ya know what? My handwriting is still left-handed messy. There is no ego involved here.

I'm excited, I can't wait for all the components to arrive and get started. Sorry, Meathe. I love you.

This will certainly keep my mind off kidneys.

I was talking with a friend tonight and he told me I was his 'one that got away.'

I liked that, it's hours later and I'm still smiling over it. There's some romantic notion to knowing that even though someone is happy where they are now, they'll always have that one little corner of their heart for 'the one that got away.'

We've all got them, I imagine. I have two (that would be you, Officer Bald and Frank Bryce McCluskey).

I don't get stuff like that directed my way often and it just felt good.

Made me tingle.

This was a great show. I sucked but the music was great and the chatroom was packed.

Grab it, give it a listen!
