'Windstorm' on The Positive Hedgehog
It's like between 5:30 and 6 in the morning, went to bed very early Monday night and got up like at 1:30 in the morning. Nowadays I have been waking up at odd times just because I go to bed so early the night before, lol. I guess it's just my body telling me when to get some sleep, but I dunno about all the times that I have woken up before, just seems so odd!
Because I was hearing myself on the radio trying to do that audio blog for all of you, and because of a hoarse voice, I have decided to let Boomer read all of my blogs from now on and I am completely fine with this. I will just stick to DJing online on The Cove Radio and announcing things on the microphone, but this time I will try to go 8 hours WITHOUT touching the FX1 and FX2 buttons for the whole time and I will see if the problem just lays with the sound effects... ANYWAYS!!! I don't want to bore you good people with that.
Right now I am in the midst of a windstorm and there's power outages all over Montreal. I was in the bathroom when the lights flickered, but for the most part, I've been spared. I also was kind of weary of using my laptop since it's busy charging and I don't want to have a lazy battery.
I also helped my dad with a 70-inch TV that he got. Took me a good few hours before I had the chance to go to McDonald's for those spicy crispy buffalo chicken poutines! I had 3 of them, and a double hamburger, which was good also. I was pretty full after that.
I don't want to make my Tuesday entry to the blog too long though. I don't know what else to say, I guess I have extinguished everything that I needed to say in this entry. Stay tuned for more, if there's more...

'Second Life on Wednesday morning' on The Positive Hedgehog
Once again, I woke up at 1:45am after going to bed at 5:10pm late Tuesday afternoon and the reason the title of my entry is the way it is is because I am on Second Life at the moment while I type this and I am in an area where no one can disrupt me while I do an entry, except maybe my friends on my friend list, rofl. So there's a gas station at the sim I'm at right now and there's a convenient store. In that convenient store there is a bathroom which has a clickable door to enter and now my avatar is on the toilet doing a, I don't want to tell you guys what he's doing, he's just waiting until I am done with my entry so I can control him once again, but he is just sitting pretty on the toilet, my little Sonic avatar. Cute =D
Yeah, odd that I get up at these times. I feel good, but there's something that I don't like about when I wake up. I will have to maybe get my body used to maybe going to bed at 10pm Thursday night since I need to be well-rested for my all-day DJing gig at the Action Center on Friday. Been a really long time since I was there due to a personal problem that I have had at home.
Now, back to Second Life... and stay tuned.

Friday morning on The Positive Hedgehog
And it's still a no go for me to go at the Action Center since that I still have an ongoing personal problem at home... I am quarantining myself at home today and will be doing a broadcast later on tonight. 2 DJ shows for this week, WOW! Anyway, yeah that's all I have for now.

'Success!!! (Sunday rambling)' on The Positive Hedgehog
Even BEFORE I start this entry off, I am dabbling in Telegram messages. MAN! I wanna tell you that I am on there all the time! I just LOVE Telegram! For everyone out there, I know I have the info on that Sonicstream page, but I will put my Telegram handle in here - Telegram handle: DJ_Sonic. ANYONE can add me, but just a side note here... I *AM* a nsfw hedgehog, so you need to know that before you decide to add me so you are not surprised one day when I talk about nsfw stuff with you.
Anyway, on to me DJing... Before I even started to play, someone else was on the radio, and to be sure not to miss any of his content, I pumped his music through to terrestrial Sonic 95.5 FM. The DJ who was on before me, his name is DJ MetalWolf (aka SeanWolf as I have seem him a few times in the past in Pawpet IRC). I told him to keep the stream alive without enabling Auto DJ and to tell me when his last song will be, and here I thought I would start at 8:05pm, but no he gave the stream over to DJ Sonic right at 8pm, which was nice of him.
I grabbed hold of the stream right away by enabling the connection on my Mixxx software. The downside to that was like 2 hours later and a bit where my computer suffered a major hiccup, lol. Yeah, it stalled. I didn't want to do a hard shut down since that would have caused a few minutes of dead air on The Cove Radio, something that this DJ *DOESN'T* want that to happen, so I just had to wait it out and let my laptop come back from the dead. I had to remove my headphones at that time because that freeze froze the song to a point of just pure noise. Loud noise also since my volume control didn't work either. EVERYTHING was frozen. When my laptop came back to life, my Mixxx software went away, but I opened another session and quickly reconnected to The Cove Radio.
I then checked the listener count, and thankfully the listeners before the huge hiccup was the same as the listener count after the huge hiccup. Maybe they refreshed the page a couple times while I had that huge hiccup. Anyway, maybe the reason, too, for that hiccup was because I was monitoring my own stream via VLC player, and this is why there was a 3rd listener, that was me listening to my own stream... muted, though, since I don't wanna hear echo in my music. The overlapping isn't pumped through the stream, though, thankfully!
Anyway, this has been the 3rd time this week that I did a show on the air, and I am very happy about that. The last half hour was like mellow since I did play "Barking At The Moon" from the Bolt soundtrack and Vangelis' "Friends of Mr. Cairo". I *WAS* going to play that 13-minute song "Do You Feel Like I Do" by Peter Frampton, but nah, I know it was like half an hour before I went off the air, but I still wanted to DJ, damn it, and not sit idling through a 13-minute song, so you know what I did? Throw on West End Girls by the Pet Shop Boys instead, which is a great song as well! I may throw Do You Feel Like I Do in the future when I have more time to play.
Boomer wrote to me while I was on the air, which is a good test for my Mixxx program if it's stable enough to go to another window... ANYWAY!!! Back to what I was saying - While The Hug Song was playing, Ricochet came in and Boomer gave him a hug. GREAT TIMING I should say. I then got a request to play Cake and then after I decided on my own to play a Grateful Dead song. MAN! Talking about me DJing like this really puts a smile on my face.
Wow, many paragraphs to this entry, lol. I just wanted to make it easier for Boomer to read off instead of just a big wall of text. Makes it easier for me to read as well.
Okay, well, time for me to wrap things up because this entry really took me time to write up.
Just one more thing, guys. If anyone wants to have a listen, if you don't have any Halloween party to go to, I will be going on the air on October 30th at 8pm ET where I will be presenting a SPECIAL 45-minute (or less since I may heavily edit the songs so that they blend together at the end and the starting of a new song) Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack... ALL OF THE SONGS will be played. And then on the 31st, DJ MetalWolf will be presenting a special show on his show, his HALLOWEEN EXTRAVAGANZA! I won't miss that since I will be listening in on his show on the 31st.
This is DJ Sonic, JaSonic, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Jason (my real name) saying for The Positive Hedgehog (Blog and Radio), The DJ Sonic Show on Sonic 95 - Have a super duper upcoming week!
Now, time for Ric's Updates, from Listeners Like You *inserts PBS saying here*... Thank You!
Addendum for Sonic 95 (The Positive Hedgehog Radio)
I am adding another date for me to go on the air as well. This coming Friday, the 26th, at 8pm ET. I will only play the whole entire RHPS soundtrack on the 30th though, but there will still be lots of Halloween music on the 26th.
