Rohe vs. Wait!

Sin

So far, things are good with my sin and my boyfriend.

So far everything is pretty smooth sailing.

With the exception of me sounding like a mother here and there, which a guy friend of mine just told me was okay, and he does the same thing with his co-sinner. So that I think I can get past.

We’ve (he) painted our bedroom, which looks awesome. We steam cleaned the carpet. The kitchen is clean, my paintings look pretty, the bathroom schedule is getting worked out and John and I seem to still love each other a ton.

So far so good.

But there’s an emptiness, there’s something missing, something important and something that I thought I would have my whole life.

My talk radio.

Now I know I’ve talked about my talk radio before. That I have stressed the importance of it, that I have told the story of why and how it’s important to me.

But my lord, above all things I miss about being myself, this is the one that is killing me the most. I listened to it all the time, in the morning, when I get home, on the computer, when I go to sleep. ALL THE TIME.

Now I have to make time for it. I have to tell John I’m going to bed early so I can turn on the radio. He listens to his bajillion songs on itunes, all of which one that I like, he’s got his jazz and his Soul Coughing and all I want is to listen to Debra Rowe. I don’t want to listen to jazz, I want to hear about the Supreme Court and Ten Commandments.

My brother suggested I get a little radio and put it under my pillow and listen to it. IS THIS HOW IT HAS TO BE? Will I never get the total peace of falling asleep to Art Bell again? Will I have to hide it forever, as if I’m in some sort of talk radio closet?

ROHE! GARY! DON AND ROMA! ANYBODY? HELP ME.

On another note, I’m reading a great book called “master builders” about Le Courbusier, Mies Van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright. I’m almost done with Corbu(that’s what they call him) and I’m finding so far quite fascinating. More ruminations on architecture tomorrow.

Hannity? Dr. Laura? Rush? John Williams? Spike O’Dell and his passed away puppy?

ANYONE?
