Notes from a Diary

How do you define bliss?
Bliss is a state of extreme happiness, spiritual joy, blessedness, euphoria,
felicity, gladness, rapture.
When a radio show elicits this feeling from a listener, then that show isn't just any radio show anymore, right?
How can one explain it? You listen, and then a metaphysical alteration happens when the brain, the gut and the spirit collide. You find yourself laughing one moment, crying the next when you hear a moving song, and then ponder perhaps on a deep philosophical,maybe controversial issue in the next fifteen minutes.
What happens when a radio show isn't just what it purports out to be? Listening to it is like jumping off a cliff without a parachute, bungee jumping without a cord attached to protect you. You get to explore verboten topics, subjects which you've never in a million years touch with a ten foot pole.
Yet one jumps willingly,from six to nine in the morning everyday because one person leads the covert operation to explore the human psyche. His name is kinda an affix for the twisted meanderings of a soul, wandering around in human form, experiencing joy and sorrow in equal measure. Mo Twister, what a name, huh?
Today's show was kinda hilarious ( was there ever a day when one did not find a rib-tickling moment or two listening to this show?) Trust the Twister to find a website like MyDeathSpace.com, an archival site, containing news articles, online obituaries, an opportunity to pay your respects and tributes to the recently deceased MySpace.com members via a comment system.
How about finding a listing of the Top Ten Hottest Dead Girls? Drumrolls please.According to Spike.com , Marilyn Monroe tops the list of the hottest dead girl. Sharon Tate, Aaliyah,Jayne Mansfield and Gia Carangi make up the Top 5 short list.
From creepy to dippy topics . .Did you know that there's a Guitar Hero Praise version where you can play along with top Christian bands? "Shred those riffs or blast the bass…you add a unique sound to the solid Christian rock.Crank it up and try again - you'll soon be rockin'with the best while praising the Lord!"
Can I help it if I'm glued to the radio and can't work anymore? These are just three topics in a three hour show! Oh yeah, the Mohan even threw in Alchemy owner Don Puno's wacky impersonations of Smeagol,Sylvester Stallone and the Governator Schwarzenegger into the hysterical mix, and you'd get a glimpse of what I experienced this morning. (By the way, Alchemy will have a 'Dia de los Muertos' or Day of the Dead Halloween party, so check it out.)
Oh right. I said 'experienced this morning'. That's the key word. The Good Times show is an experience, transcendental to some, completely idiotic to others.
All I can say is, like Marilyn Monroe, this show will be long remembered, even if we're all gone, skin and bones six feet under.
Like a comet that flashes by earth once in a thousand years, this show is such a rare extraterrestrial gem. I write and keep a diary so there's a record of what I've heard and experienced everyday in this radio show. In case a nuclear blast blows this planet into a million pieces, this show will never be forgotten. Out of the ashes,if someone finds this diary, perhaps they'll laugh, and know, and experience what bliss is too. Goodtimes!)
