What one girl considers as romance might not be what the next girl considers as romance.  If most girls are like me, then they spend a better part of their day dreaming of romantic fairy tales.  What we fail to see is that the thing we&#8217;re looking for in foreign lands is right at home with us.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>And that is how it happened.  As far as I am concerned, I have only met one very romantic (thoughtful) human man.  Only one other Man supercedes him.  And that is God.  Even though I laughed about it and always tried to add a little humor to the posts, the fact is that I was quite nervous and afraid about the turn out of the radio show.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In my head, I did everything I could have done.  I e-mailed everyone.  I facebooked.  I twittered (tweeted??).   I blogged.  And I did the word of mouth, of course.  Still, I have never done radio before.  I have never taken any class on radio.  And talk radio is not like writing or blogging where people cannot hear your nervousness.  A <i>&#8220;talk&#8221;<\/i> radio will be pretty useless if there is no one there to <i>&#8220;talk.&#8221;<\/i><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>But God, in his awfully romantic nature, came through for me.  I don&#8217;t know why.  I am so grateful and pleasantly surprised at the outcome of the radio show.  I have no idea how to thank the callers, listeners, downloaders, writers [e-mailers &amp; commenters], and especially, the bloggers. <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Tobenna called all the way from Nigeria.  Babz and Danny called from U.K.  GNG and Ms. O called from Canada.  Diamond called from Georgia.  No Limit and a bunch of others were in the chatroom giving me a headache with their funny talks.  Baroque, Sribbles, Jaycee, My Own Thing, and NaijaDude all helped by sending e-mails and leaving comments on the topic.  My friends and acquaintances here in Maryland came through too.  Mr. Shoes didn&#8217;t disappoint me either.  He has even become my unpaid manager.  He&#8217;s so sexy when he talks business and statistics.  LOL.  I&#8217;ve promised to make him custard for payment.  The only problem with my payment plan is that he doesn&#8217;t like custard.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Funmie, my wonderful co-host, she did a fantabulous job.  Thanks, Funmie!  Mr. Shoes says we work well together.  Apparently, we have chemistry.  So what do you say we take this to the next level?  We open a joint account with your next paycheck?  \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>For the first five minutes of the show, I was crazy nervous.  When the countdown began, my heart was thumping.  I&#8217;m surprised it (the sound) didn&#8217;t come through on the radio show.  My evil cordless phone kept ringing.  Do you know that I disconnected the phone AND pulled out its battery?  Yet, it kept ringing!  Devil&#8230; no dey try my patience ooo!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I owe God.  I can&#8217;t ever pay Him, I know.  But I just know that I owe Him.  He went beyond my expectations.  I&#8217;d like to take credit for this, but Heaven knows I didn&#8217;t do it all by myself.  I can&#8217;t take credit for anything @ all.  He gave me the brain to think of the concept; He gave me the fingers to type the words for announcements, and He most certainly gave me the mouth to speak on the radio.  I&#8217;m not sure what part I played in this, if any.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Now, if only every man could be like Him?  <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>P.S. Thanks to all those who left comments on the previous post.  Sorry I haven&#8217;t responded.  I&#8217;v read them all.  I&#8217;ll respond shortly.  I&#8217;ll put up topics for upcoming shows.  E-mail me @ radio@verastic.com if you have any questions\/comments\/stories\/show ideas.  As always, the show can be listened to online www.blogtalkradio.com or downloaded for free.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>P.P.S. If I give God an e-mail address @ verastic [God@verastic.com or Chineke@verastic.com], do you think He will use it?  Or do you think He will crash the entire system??  If He&#8217;ll use it, then I [as the administrator] can secretly control His account and approve all my prayers ASAP.  I might even suspend His account if He doesn&#8217;t comply with my demands.  The power of a website administrator! Good stuff, I tell you.  Living life on the fast lane.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>P.P.P.S. My last two sentences just confirmed my fear: I need to get a social life.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>P.P.P.P.S Goodnight.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I might be wrong, but I think that most girls every girl dreams of some form of romance from a man.
