(4) In my comedic, real from my life stories, I'll tell a funny story that occurred today (Tues.,12.30.08), and this funny story might not be the best "g-rated" story, so in that I case I might have the parental advisory as none, or better yet it might be "explicit", only because of this one segment-- all the other segments of podcast are clean.

(5) In my breaking news w/ me segment, I'll give you all a reading update by telling you all about a book that I've started reading. Also, as mentioned in a couple of two segments ago and in the previous (3rd) episode, I'm still having some technical difficulties. For more breaking news updates or for more blog posts of mine, please stay tuned to my blog(s) (see links in show notes for a link(s) to my blog(s).
