  Guiding Light Canceled :(

  I'm so upset. Guiding Light was canceled yesterday after being on the air for 70 years. GL has been a favorite soap of mine for years and it is the one show that I spend most of my time on here at this site. This is a blow to the whole daytime industry. Shows are being asked to cut big stars and cut budgets and it's only going to get worse.

  I will always remember the GL storylines that I loved growing up and to this day still love. I will miss this show tremendously. The final airdate is scheduled for September 18, 2009. They better have some good storylines to wrap up the show and they better put Josh and Reva back together for good!!!!

  Tragedy...

  Well, it's been a tough couple of days for me and my family. I attended a funeral today for my brother's best friend, Ryan. It's such a sad, sad story about what happened. In early January, Ryan, who was 34, went missing in downtown Baltimore near the bar district of Fells Point. Unfortunately, the firends that he was with earlier in the night had said that Ryan was really, really, drunk and was last seen wandering towards the water. He was never seen again. A missing persons report was filed later that month and as almost two months passed, friends and family were giving up hope. Last Wednesday night, a body was found floating in the inner harbor of Baltimore... it was Ryan. There was no foul play, just very bad luck.

  My brother has been so close to Ryan for over 25 years. Ryan was an extended member of our family. Kevin, my brother, flew up from Florida for the funeral and I don't think I have ever seen him so upset and sad, even after our father died when he was 16 and I was 13. This loss has hit him so hard. The funeral was so sad. So many of Ryan's friends came to share and celebrate his life. I really don't think Ryan ever really knew how many people truly loved him. I can only be there for my brother in his time of need and sorrow.

  You just never know whats going to happen every day. I try to live every day to the fullest and I hope all of you do the same!

  The non-"reality" shows & Ipod music...

  Well, after yesterday's blog, many of you were surprised at my affection for "reality" shows, so I thought I would write a blog about the normal shows that I watch or edit

  The one show that I am a TC for and spend most of my time on is Guiding Light, which has become can't miss lately! This soap is finally getting back on track and now that Grant Aleksander is back on as Phillip, things can only get better! This past Tuesday's show featured unbelievable acting by Justin Deas and it makes me realize how much I missed his depth as an actor.

  Another drama that I edit which will be returning for a second season is Raising the Bar. It got mixed reviews and the show is good, I just think it can get better. Now if only Mark-Paul Gosselaar would keep his hair short

  I've come to realize that I watch too much TV... thanks for pointing that out Sylent ... I'm completly addicted, LOL! It's a wonder that I have a social life. My normal day schedule is: work 7-3, Gym until 4:45, home by five, dinner and shower, done by 6 and then John and I usually watch TV until I go to bed at 10. Now, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, that routine changes a lot because John and I are usually very busy, so it's no wonder that both of my DVR's are filled to the brim with past shows. Somehow I manage to do it all. That will change one day when we have kids, but in the meantime, I will enjoy my tv watching!

  Right now, I'm addicted to working out to Lady Gaga's music! Her new song, "PokerFace" is very catchy and has a good upbeat song to work out to. I'm always looking for new workout material. I got a new Ipod last month and I only have about 350 songs on it. Every time I go to download songs, I can't think of any songs that would be good. I always draw a blank. Any suggestions?

  Have a great day everyone!!!
