"Holiday Eargasms"

I, like a lot of people, have a hard time emotionally during a Holiday. Some are more impacting than others, but for the most part Holidays can be a catalyst for anxiety/depression. While most like to spend the Holiday with family and/or significant other, some of us aren't so lucky. Even though I have my daughters and close family, going around extending family tend to make me feel weird because I'm not in a 'real' relationship and don't have anyone to bring. As the years passed, I learned how to handle it, but sometimes it can feel like it's too much to bare. Being single yet loyal makes for a lonely Holiday.

For the past 6 years or so, one of the things that helped me deal with my Holiday blues was listening to V103's noon mix with DJ Jaycee and his 1 or 2 hour live Eargasms set. Now, I know some of you might be like.. huh?.. what's that?.. well it's only the BEST musical journey you can ever experience. Just knowing DJ Jaycee would be on air spinning some tunes gave me something positive and exciting to look forward to, because I knew.. if only for an hour or two, everything would feel alright. You never know what direction his music will go or where it would take you but, it's guaranteed to make you forget your bad mood, if only for a little while.  For the most part his Holiday mixes would be an Old school mix.. ('seasoned box mix'.. inside joke) one that would take you back to your childhood. A time when things were simpler. And while his song selection transports you to another time and space the way he would blend said songs together is indescribable. THAT my friends is an Eargasms!! but some of us call it 'Music Therapy' because we NEEDED it!  We NEED to be able to go back in time.. to feel like a kid again.. to remember.. if only for an hour.. how great life is. 

We came to depend on our Daily Eargasms to get us through our day, but we needed our Holiday Eargasms to get us through life. *Deep Sigh...  My Holiday's will never be the same. 
Fortunately, I'm in a good space mentally since I can no longer rely on my Holiday fix. Thankfully I can pop in a mix tape, or listen to one of his previous mixes online but, the excitement of a live mix on the Holiday has been put on hiatus for now. 
Salute to you DJ Jaycee and thank for all the 'therapy' you've provided in the past. You are appreciated.
