Feeling like a 'lost boy'

As I mentioned when I started writing this OFF-AIR blog, the main focus is to let you know things that happen in my life when the mic goes off. I enjoy telling you about these times, as I prep for the next day's show. Disney is literally always on my brain. But sometimes life isn't all magic and dreaming. Sometimes, it can come to an abrupt hault.

The only reason I am choosing to publically say this is so I don't get mistakenly hurt with questions, inquiries or get mistaken in the future as being 'together'. Here is what I mean:

Sadly this past weekend, my relationship with Crystal, my girlfriend of nearly a year and four months, came to a close. We had been friends for about two years prior. While I do not wish to go in to all the details as it is a very long story (as I've explained to some), I can tell you that her and I are still talking. We're likely taking a breather from seeing each other but hope friendship will work out and continue down the short road.

How am I holding up? I'll be quite honest, I'm devastated. It is heart-breaking, especially as my last memories at the Walt Disney World Resort were with her. Time heals all wounds as they say. Again I want to reiterate: there was no dispute, argument, it was a 'peaceful' break-up. It just hurts right now, of course.

So my mission is to get back to the WDW Resort and make some new memories. As you know, Jeff Davis (host of DW:60 on Sorcerer Radio at 8pm Eastern on Thursday nights) and I are planning our big Walt Disney World Press Box trip in February 2010. At this point, I'm just waiting on Jeff to get back to me on official dates, and then I'll try to get the week off of work.
It was a tough weekend just now, and I know it'll continue to be tough in the times ahead. She is a great young woman, and I'm going to miss it. We had some great times together.

I have things to look forward to, though. Such as the planned WDW Press Box trip with Jeff (talk about a Disney geek trip at it's finest! haha! It'll be great!). I'm also very-much looking forward to recurring my role as Jafar in a local theatre production of Aladdin this October for the first time in two years.

And as always, I have you, the Disney fanatics that I couldn't live without. Each one of you who reads this, interacts on Twitter, the Sorcerer Community Chat Room, Sorcerer Community Forums, through my e-mail (fantasmic@srsounds.com), and who tunes in to the Tiki Room Morning Show, my heartfelt thanks. You are the greatest Disney fans a host could ever ask for. You all mean so much to me.
