Giving Back

I've always been blessed to have food on my plate and a roof over my head. Before I joined the CJTT family I was working at a station in Brantford, and was downsized. Fortunately I was able to find work outside of radio, but when I moved up here I was beyond blessed with people helping me. In turn I try to help others. Whenever I go grocery shopping I try to pick up an extra item for the food bank. This weekend the Community is holding a Food Bank Drive on Saturday from 10 to 4 p.m. I encourage people to give. So often we get wrapped up in our own problems we forget there's needs in our own community. Even providing 1 item a week will go along way!

Cheers!

Tuesday 25 September 2012

To you today is Tuesday.  Or maybe you're an over-achiever and today is (quite correctly) Tuesday, September 25, 2012AD.  But did you know that it's also one of my favourite days on the musical calendar? ONE-HIT WONDER DAY!!!!!

Think about all the great (some not-so-much) songs that seemed to be everywhere for 15 minutes and then *poof* were gone.  Jesus Jones "Right Here Right Now".  EMF "Unbelievable".  Lou Bega "Mambo #5" and sure to be joined soon by Psy's "Gangnum Style" (he's singing in Korean for those of you scoring at home).  Face it, love em or hate em, one-hit wonders are sometimes the most easily recognized songs.  If you want a welcome distraction at some point today check out www.onehitwondercentral.com.

Happy listening.

Something to Think About

How true!!! Sometimes we need to step back and look at the situation for what its worth. Is it really worth getting your knickers in a knot and walking funny?? Life is short and make every day count!
