Where Did Summer Go?

Here we are chillin by the pool on a warm summer night. It was fun since it's been a long time since I was in a pool, lol. Last I can remember was when we went to Morrongo.


Mark wading at by the pool.

No spa but you can sit on the fountain, lol.

Point!

Across the water

Lost boy

Here I am

It was great being in a heated pool. Tho I still cant float my ass, I can however paddle underwater haha. I mostly stayed in the 5ft side haha! Here we are in the urban jungle.

Michelle Branch

I know its been a long time but I am back. That was a very long haitus. I was just waiting for my new programs to get in before I can get back online and work on things. So without further ado here something to catch you guys up!

Michelle Branch concert at the grove was AWESOME. I loved her and the songs that she sang. There were a couple of guest surprises also but we were mainly there for Michelle Branch. Here are some pictures I took while the band got set up.


The Grove

Skyline

Setting up the stage

Here is the intro asking us to donate a body part. I'm a donor I just hope they make sure I was dead before giving my parts away to some other guy, lol.


They asked us to donate a body part.

First up is... Jason Castro? The guy who doesnt wash his hair from American Idol, lol. He was pretty ok, I guess... But he knocked down a couple of songs first before Michelle Branch arrived. And just like Ashley Tisdale... she was late, lol.


Who is he again?

Jason Castro

Finally Michelle showed up with the rest of her band. I can honestly say she does remind me of Vanessa Carlton and kinda like Kate Voegele. She's very cute and very funny, lol.


Michelle Branch

All I Wanted

Everywhere

She brought out her friend Ashley

They sang a duet.

After the concert we got hungry but all the places already closed. We couldnt really blame Michelle Branch for coming so late and ending the concert right before 10pm when the Farmer's Market closed. Aghhh... we got really hungry afterwards. I forgot what we ate, lol.

What's InStyle?

LOL so my homie Daryl linked me to InStyle Magazines website where they had this thing where you can upload a picture and make yourself over to look like one of the hottest celebrities in style. Here are the results... (I did not photoshop these!)


The Clintons

The Zac Efrons

And The Beyonces

Haha! It was pretty fun... you guys should go try it and share your results!

InStyle Makeover

Disappointed...

Ever feel like every thing you try to share with a friend was being disregarded? I dunno, maybe it's just me being passionate about something and month after month being refused or disregarded when I try sharing it with them. I've been here before, and honestly I don't know why I keep trying. I guess I just have a lot to share with people and there are those who are willing to be part of it and there are those who choose not to.

There a friends who sit by the sidelines and there are friends who participate in your life.

Lesson learned.

Rainforest Cafe

Next stop, Rainforest Cafe. After attending the Harvest, we got a little hungry. We decided to drop by Downtown Disney to grab some grub. We ended up dining at the Rainforest cafe. It was pretty great... I ordered Nachos, Ervin ordered a chicken sandwich, and Don ordered barbeque chicken pizza.

The Harvest


In line for The Harvest

This year Ervin invited me to the Harvest. An event where people from all over come together to listen to songs and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Iv'e never really been a "follower". My relationship with God and Jesus has always been strictly a personal journey, and a very personal one at that. Joining others and seeing them gather to worship the Lord is overwhelming. I had a fantabulous time.

Lights fill the heavens with colors and music. We watched the fireworks show over looking the parking lot. It was pretty awesome to be so near fireworks and watch them launch into the air.
