Presley's Diary

Today I am relieved to announce the relaunch of Mission Bell Radio. After nearly 4 years of being dormant The Riverside radio station is once again broadcasting 24 hours a day. Anyone around the globe can listen and although we may feature other artists or advertisements from other regions, Mission Bell Radio was born to support our local community. We will forever support the Inland Empire, our Artists, Local Business and schools. The Bell City movement began long before Mission Bell Radio but never before has our city had it's own radio station devoted to the pride of the Bell. We see our neighbors with Mission Bell tattoos. We see the Bell in our city lights, on our basketball courts and in almost every single city plaza. The bell has meaning, tradition and most importantly its the coolest logo any city has ever had .

Mission Bell refuses to be limited to one style of music so you can expect to hear a wide variety of different genres. Radio programming will be %100 positive, uplifting and supportive. While most media outlets focus solely on controversy, drama and tearing people down... Mission Bell Radio will focus on being the exact opposite.

There are thousands of radio stations or even play lists to choose from. You can listen to anything you want, anywhere you are. Everyone has their own taste but if you want to hear Support Riverside or hear the Inland Empire... Mission Bell Radio might be the place for you. We are working on making our radio stream available on every major app and radio outlet but for now We recommend listening to our broadcast by downloading the FREE app called TUNE IN. The mobile Tune In app is compatible with all iPhones and Android but if you are online you might want to check out www.MissionBellRadio.com

I was going through some family photos trying to organize my PC and stumbled across a few Christmas photos I just had to share. This photos are from 2009, before AJ was born. It was just my Princess Rayleen and my son Chaz. We lived as a family of 4 in a 2 bedroom, 2 story condo near RCC. There were literally over 100 Presents under the tree and along the wall. 95% of those presents were for my two children and these gifts were the ones they decided to open early on Christmas Eve.

Those faces melt my heart and I have to thank God for loving me enough to allow us to enjoy that moment. My life has been a roller coaster ride but obviously these Kodak moments captured something special. The joy in these pictures are priceless. It's a worry free joy. A joy of privilege accompanied by an abundance of love. We both worked 2 jobs while sharing one vehicle yet somehow even though we never turned that condo into a home we were able to succeed together in providing our children an amazing Christmas worth remembering.

I was joking with my son about this photo because every single one of those presents happened to be a toy of some sort. Not a single pack of socks, No underwear. Not even a winter sweater. Just toys! We spoiled them that year and we gave our children a better childhood that we had. Even if no other Christmas could ever compare, the fact that we had such an awesome 2009 should be forever appreciated. So many children and families across the globe have been less fortunate but for some Godly reason our reality in 2009 was Blessed.

I hope I never forget this day. I pray these memories are forever engraved in my memory. I want to reflect upon times like this with I'm depressed, in pain... or dying. I hope this kids can do the same. No matter what, these kids will remember Mom and Dad loved them. We often failed but we did try our best and we are all better off because of that love and effort.
