Where art thou?

It's been a while since I've updated the good old blog. But never fear Jay is here once more...

Past: If you're wondering why I haven't been putting up any photos lately. That's because I have joined the ranks of "People with Stalkers." That' right, I have been getting harassed via mail, phone, sms and mms but some crazy person. They even opened up a blog. At first I thought 'well i guess it's official I am a D grade celebrity on Gotland Island' but as time went on the flattery disappeared, and it just became downright annoying. So now I am 'mobiless' if there is such a word and my phone has been left in with the police. No charges have been filed, I am still hoping it will stop, but either way it's out of my hands now.

Present: Well what's been happening in the world of Jay. Apart from work, work and more work I guess the biggest new for me is that in 2 weeks and 3 days (not that I am counting) I will have my butt on a plane heading to Hong Kong and then back to Australia for 2 months! I can't describe how bloody excited I am. It's been nearly 2½years since I was home last home. So now only 1 week left of work and then off to Stockholm to say 'hejsan hejsan' to the in-laws before we go.

Future: So what is the future of Wisby FM? - many people have been asking. And the honest answer is quite simply that we still don't know. Talk about lousy timing trying to open up a new radio station precisely before the global economic crisis hits. Oh well, we still cross our fingers but the way it looks now is there wont be a station to come back to when I return from Australia at the end of March. Am I upset? Of course, I honestly believed we'd secure private funding and sponsorship for one more year to ride out the storm. But at the same time if it all ended now I would still feel content. After all, we opened a youth station on the world's lowest budget, made a significant impact in a short time, enabled the youth of Gotland Island to get their democratic voices heard and managed to make a large dent in the demographic of radio listeners. So, thinking of that makes me feel content in the fact that we succeeded in what we'd hoped for - it just wasn't for as long as we planned.

Anyway: Ladies & Gents of the Jury this week is THE week to be listening to The Breakfast Club on Wisby FM between 8am and 11am weekdays (GMT+1). Why? Because it could be the last...

Oh yeh and the weather back home is...
Now: 25°C Max: 35°C

Bloody Beautiful if you ask me!
