fiogf49gjkf0d I am extremely pressed for time nowadays. I want to do what I enjoy doing with what little time I have. I want to watch the baseball playoffs, the football games, some adult cartoons, the late night talk show host monolugues, the Tom Leykis podcasts, the podcasts of funny music shows, listening to dance mix shows on satellite and Internet. All of this takes me a lot of time for these activities that I want to do.
On occasion, I want to watch some of my favorite actors on TV when they show up on a special or a movie. Usually they're on cable or broadcast TV.
I like to watch reruns of some of my favorite shows. I'm still catching up on the Star Trek reruns I haven't seen since I was a kid back in the 60s.
I need time to screen the new songs I find on the podsafemusicnetwork and thefump.com so I can catch the bad words and edit them out before I use them.
All of this was made possible with a promise: not to take up stuff that I don't enjoy doing or watching. I must say that by getting rid of the deadweight that wasn't doing me any interest or giving me gratification, I could spend more time on the other things in my life.
In the course of the last few years, I gave up watching most of the TV shows that turned into boredom. I tried a lot of the shows that the geekdom singers have sung about, but most of them do nothing for me. Nothing based on Heroes excites me. I can't even watch General Hospital anymore even with Genie Francis back on. It's just not the same like it was back in the 80s anymore. I gave up.
I also gave up dfsx last year because it was too much work. I brought it back with a promise: not to spend more than four hours a week producing shows and programming it a week. That's worked out a lot for me. I'm not grabbing podcasts from other places and splitting them up so that they can be used on live365, which is a pain in the ass to do and really bores me to sleep. I like it when the shows come with each of the songs in separate mp3s so I can upload the show even without me paying much attention to it. To put an entire show in a 60 minute mp3 is okay if it was podcastable or streamable from dementiaradio.org and themadmusicarchive.com, but cannot be used on live365.com at all. The big files are not DMCA compliant and it's a strict rule.
So for that reason, I have to keep the time spent devoted to dfsx small on purpose so that I can enjoy all of the other activities that I really want to do. I just have to start saying no to more work since so few people are streaming the dfsx stream and it's not worth it if only five people are hearing the shows a week. If not that many people are enjoying my labor of splitting up the huge mp3s into DMCA compliant individual songs, then I don't see any worth it of my valuable time to pursue that part of the hobby any longer. I would reconsider if dfsx got something like 10,000 streaming hours a month so more people would enjoy the shows I ripped from the large mp3 files and it would be gratifying to see those huge listenership numbers, which in turn encourages me to work on dfsx more, but as it is, I just don't see it happening anytime soon. Small numbers mean nothing to me, and it should me nothing to other people who want their shows on dfsx but there's not enough of an audience in place to hear their shows on it, and my file splitting work would be time taken away from other activites, which is not fair to me. So why complain?
Elsewhere, I plan to work longer hours at my paying job whereever possible, stretching the time away from home to as many as 12 hours a day. If anyone wants their large shows split up for live365, I have a show splitting service on dfsxradio.com for that purpose, but it's not a free service, as my time is valuable. Shows can be used on other stations and not dfsx. I've been splitting up the large mp3 files for dfsx for a few years until 2007 when I quit.
So that's the story. I have to have my life back or else I'll be sick of dementia and will take up listening to sports talk radio.
