I had so much fun last night.
The boys and I ate chinese for dinner as we hung out at my Mama’s house before heading to the studio. They were superkrunk and I was…well…I guess I was still in disbelief.
I had spent the previous night up writing out a sample script for my show. I had a vision in my head of how I wanted things to run and what I wanted the guests to say and I wrote it all down in order with two songs playing in beneath segments.
I added the guest’s names and phone numbers as well.
I got the music off limewire and placed an icon for it on my desktop. Then I picked up my boys and we went to my Mama’s house to practice before the show. I got a call from the guy who was supposed to get me started at the studio and I packed up the boys to go meet him.
We printed out the scripts and then went to the studio. I Introduced my boys to the guy, umm…..Trainer, and he reviewed the different switches and buttons and how to take phone calls.
My boys were out in the hallway watching the guys play music in the other studio.
I almost fell out when one of my classmates walked into my studio. I introduced her to my boys and she walked over to me.
Get this…after making an announcement in one of my classes about my new show, this woman came up to me and said that she wanted to be my researcher for the show. I told her, “HEY! GREAT!”
In class this week she asked me the topic and I explained it to her and she said she’d contact me this week.
So she walked into the studio and I smiled and greeted her. I showed her the sample script that I had written and as she read through she said, “You have pretty much everything covered. Would you need me to make phone calls for you?”
“Yes, please,” I replied and handed her a script. For some reason I had printed two, not even knowing why I did that. “Every guest has a phone number next to it. Call them and introduce yourself and let them know which time frame they should be expected to call in.”
She went down the hall to make phone calls.
I was like…dang. It’s nice having an assistant. She was great!
And then….at two minutes to 10, I sat down, my boys sat down in front of my booth and it all began…
It was like…magic.
The guys behind Verysmartbrothas.com were on the show.
Nika Williams was on the show.
I interviewed a couple who met in an aol chat room six years ago.
I interviewed a man who met his wife online and afterwards they both deleted all of their online profiles to keep their relationship solid.
I interviewed a woman who met her husband online and blogged about the entire experience of meeting, dating and getting married.
I had an email question come in about a guy who was caught cyber cheating by his girlfriend but even when he confessed, she still didn’t break up with him and he was nervous about that.
We listened to TI’s Whatever You Like and I called up Tamara and we discussed why we liked the song.
I even had the privelege of playing my Baby Kanye’s Love Lockdown. (I love him.)
And then…
DJ DIVA donated one of her mixes to the show so I was able to play a special mix once I ran out of content.
My friend Rayy called in and really hit the spot when he answered the email question. I couldn’t even argue with him on his opinion because I agreed. If a woman finds out her man is cheating and she doesn’t leave him, it’s probably because she has cheated too.
All in all, I laughed, I messed up, I sang, I called my friends and I just hung out….
This feels so good to me. It feels so natural and so right.
It is so fulfilling to me.
I took an hour and a half and I made it mine and I was completely myself the whole time and even if no one tuned in, my friends did and we had a great time.
I am so grateful for the experience.
I believe God must love me so much. I feel so favored.
