Today was a shitty day at work. It's been a shitty two weeks, actually. I try not to use profanity in my blog, but hey, I think you should get to know the real me.It was one of those days that ended when the sun had already set, and it's just August, so the sun shouldn't be setting so early. That means, it had to be past 8.
Normally I plug in my iPod in my car and click through a minimum of 137 songs only stopping at the songs I'm in the mood to hear. My life revolves around my moods. Instead of the iPod, I was in the mood to hear the soft-spoken, motherly/cougarly voice that'll make it all better from Delilah. Also, I was driving a rental car and could not hook up my iPod.
You know you've all heard of Delilah. That soft, raspy voice bringing you soft rock and love songs to the mass of 7 million listeners every Monday through Friday at 8 pm on a radio station near you.
According to Wikipedia: Delilah Rene Luke (born Feb. 15, 1960 in Reedsport, Oregon), almost always simply known as Delilah, is an American radio personality, author, and songwriter, best known as the eponymous host of a nationally syndicated nightly U.S. radio song request and dedication program, with an estimated 7 million listeners.

A more recent addition to Delilah's show is "Friday Nite Girls," a "fan club"-style feature in which Delilah honors groups of her regular female listeners with prizes. She occasionally also calls certain "Friday Nite Girls" chapters and speaks with them live on the air.
This last part just makes me want to start a bridge club (or other card game that involves finger foods and alcohol) and play Delilah on the radio with a small group of friends. See, you never know what can cheer you out of a shitty day until you just open your mind to what you can learn from listening to the radio.
Later that night after a home workout I put together myself, I saw the perseid shower. I watched it in silence because a commentary is not necessary to watch that amazing sight.
