The Positive Hedgehog for 1-29 to 1-31
Hello to all of you. Another brand new week. Monday, I asked Boomer for a FLAC format of Doggy Radio and I know that it's at the highest quality possible. 1 whole gigabyte for this week's show... I'm glad that I have a good 650 GBs to play with. I'm very picky with sound and I really appreciate sound with the highest in quality.
Anyway, all that beside, I went on an UNOFFICIAL Nuit Blanche Monday afternoon (4:20pm - Smoke Em If You Got Em, lol) and I got my hands on some candy and Diet Pepsi at a well-known subway station stop. I then took a bus to another subway station to the east, fun ride.
Now, Tuesday was the Action Center for me, and Shawn wasn't available to come in, so I DJ'd for him. On Sunday the 28th, though, Shawn told me to retire. YEAH RIGHT! He told me that he's jealous of me. Music is music, right? I know why he's jealous. I have heard some complaints of people that his music is not good, but this is why I am leaving him to play on Tuesdays. He has more opportunity to play on a Tuesday than a Friday anyway. He is needed for geography class anyway, and since I was in geography class last year with Shawn, I felt that something was not right at all. Sure, I love geography as it's my BEST subject, but music is better as I am a DJ, so since the teacher, Andrea, gave me a suggestion to become THE DJ for ZUMBA class, well I couldn't say no to that offer. Plus, it's more equal this way, with me being with Andrea and Shawn helping out in geography class with Allison. Later on when I came back home from the Action Center, I went to my bedroom and saw my monthly statement (Social Assistance, money-wise) come in, and I looked at the amount oddly. It was $73 higher than usual, so I asked my dad and he thought it was odd also. You'll find out about it on my Wednesday entry...
BIG paragraph for Tuesday. Now onto Wednesday where my dad and I went out to BUFFET DES CONTINENTS yet again to celebrate that increase of $73. When I came back, my dad dug further into the envelope, where my statement was, and found out why I was getting an increase. The pamphlet states, and I quote from it, "The Government Action Plan to Foster Economic Inclusion and Social Participation 2017-2023 also provides measures that will make it possible to offer support to people who are taking steps toward employment integration or training," I see the plan I'm on, it's the Social Solidarity Program, which is interesting to me. I mean, I have Ataxia, but then I am constantly thinking that I am cheating the system for giving me money that I did not work for. Sure, I DJ for a living, but there are lots of days when I don't do anything either, mostly in the winter. Would you be able to give me any insight to this, Boomer? Anyway, Wednesday afternoon into the evening, I am not doing much... not even going to CKUT. I will get in touch with CKUT's news coordinator in a few days since now that I think of it, Virgin Radio would be a bit more tough on me in the form of attendance if I have a radio program over there. True, there is a lot less time on Off The Hour for a DJ Sonic song, but I guess I will take that over people becoming tough on me on other stations.
Whoa! A lot more stuff was said on Wednesday! Anyway, stay tuned for Thursday, Friday, and into the weekend coming up next on The Positive Hedgehog!

Puppy Bowl on The Positive Hedgehog
Oh my god. Let's start on Thursday - I didn't do anything much, as usual.
Friday, I had a very enjoyable day at the Action Center with a lot of great music. It was Groundhog Day that day so I played 2 songs from the movie with Bill Murray, I Got You Babe (the song that he starts off the day over and over again on the same exact day, which to him is a nightmare) and the Pennsylvania Polka (sung at Gobblers Knob in Punxutawney). Those songs were enjoyable and before I started playing the first song of the two, I yelled out, "HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!!!" DJ Sonic 2, or Shawn, played some games on his laptop beside me, which is ok. He really still enjoyed my music. It's his turn to shine this coming Tuesday anyway. I'm really glad that I gave him that Tuesday spot to really shine despite him telling me to retire.
Saturday came along, and noticed that there was a Puppy Bowl post on Facebook, and this reminded me to set the PVR to record the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. Even on Sunday I didn't know that there was yet another Puppy Bowl, but getting back to Saturday, while the Puppy Bowl was being recorded, I went out to Chalet Bar-B-Q which is the only BBQ chicken restaurant in the city, and MAN is it ever good! I remember back in December when I had supper from there while I was DJing a Christmas Party. After Chalet Bar-B-Q, most of the gang went to a play and I went off to walk to a subway station and got a mini Nuit Blanche started for myself, but it didn't last long due to me being a bit unstable on the powdery snow that was falling. Yeah, I will admit it to all of you and I am not ashamed of saying this, but I have an issue with my balance and it stems all the way back to when I was born, but I won't go into that since this entire blog that I do on a weekly basis is called The Positive Hedgehog for a reason... to be positive and upbeat. On to Sunday...
I woke up feeling real good on Sunday after snuggling Sonic to death, my 20-inch one, woke up and decided to watch Countdown To Puppy Bowl. This is what's great about owning a PVR. You can watch what you recorded anytime you want at your leisure. Funny thing here is that my starting channel, for every time I turn the terminal on, is Channel 743, and that is Animal Planet. Now, I don't want to watch what I am recording since I will be watching it any old time I feel like. Anyway, I will be listening to the podcast today. I want to listen to the podcasts every Sunday, if I can, before I download a new show coming out on Monday.
Even though I am not in Pawpet IRC anymore, maybe I will frequent it more in the near future. I wanna socialize again with everyone, but again I have the Telegram group, and I really want to stay in touch.
Anyway, thank you, pooches, for having my blogs featured on here week after week. Until next week, you happy people.
