Off to Chicago

Well tomorrow I'm off to Chicago for what will be an awesome and cool(literally) weekend at home. I wish I could go on the road trip with the band this weekend, but there's nothing like home SWEET home.

Friday I hope to see Candy and her girls, then later that night party with my boy Jack(visiting up from Dallas also) and show him what Chicago is about!!! =) How fun is that going to be?!?!??! Then Saturday possibly be the buffer for my bestest friend's boyfriend and her family. Sunday, will be at Leslie and Bill's shower(which I still need to get a present for...ugh!) and somewhere in between, maybe Monday or Tuesday, do homework for my Wednesday class. Not really pressing, but something that needs to be done...maybe I'll do it on the plane tomorrow.

Tonight was an awesome night. wakingNorman did another awesome acoustic set as usual. If you live in the DFW area and love me, you will come up to Sharky's friday (9/5) for an acoustic show. It's free!!!! =)

Anyway, must get some type of sleep, then off to Sweet Home Chicago!!!

What Kind of Girl are You?

intelligent: you are really smart and often get
rewarded for that fact. you're not one to speak
out too much and only your friends know the
funny person you really are. occasionally you
might get hassle for being yourself, but at the
end of the day you know better to just be
yourself and that's why the people around you,
love ya! you're a good friend and as loyal as
anything and would never dream of directing
those around you to do what you want, you're
creative, talented and smart. you're what most
people secretly envy!

Not a groupie?

The word "groupie" has such a negative connotation so I decided to look it up on dictionary.com.
Here is the official definition:

group·ie ( P ) Pronunciation Key (grp)
n. Slang
1. A fan, especially a young woman, who follows a rock group around on tours.
2. An enthusiastic supporter or follower: a ballet groupie; a fashion groupie.

Why, may you ask, did I bother looking the definition up? Well, everytime I promote wakingNorman, I am asked if I am a groupie. I was called a groupie last night...AGAIN!!!! It bothers me because "groupie" indicates that you hang with the band and try to get some. That is not what I am about. I was asked to help out with marketing communications, ie. getting flyers and posters, and the word out about when and where the guys are playing. No, I am not getting paid, but it's just a matter of time. I want to help out as much as I can. I think this group is amazing and the world will soon know. However, reading the definition...then yes, I am a groupie and proud to be one! =)

Haven't taken a quiz in a while so....What Romance Movie Best Represents Your Love Life?


"You must remember this, a kiss is still a
kiss". Your romance is Casablanca. A
classic story of love in trying times, chock
full of both cynicism and hope. You obviously
believe in true love, but you're also
constantly aware of practicality and societal
expectations. That's not always fun, but at
least it's realistic. Try not to let the Nazis
get you down too much.

I'm with the Band

So I was reviewing my past posts and noticed that I haven't posted how I got involved with wakingNorman. So here's the abbreviated story. I have been a fan for about 2 1/2 years now. The first time I saw them at the Beggar Club and Daniel Hart pulled out his violin and Troy belted "Losing" I knew these guys had talent and potential. I even had a chance to see them when they were in Chicago. They have been doing the N.Dallas club scene since then. They finally got some serious backers and a group of people that want to help and see them succeed. They needed a person to do "marketing communications" basically get the word out where the guys are playing and that's where I come in. Troy sent me an email and asked to give him a call. They thought of me when thinking about promotions. I am honored and happy to be part of something that is on the rise. Please check out the link and if you like the music...BUY, BUY, BUY!!!

What are the Mavs thinking??!?!?!?!

First all the possible GOOD trades fall through. Then they go and trade VanExel?!?!? If it wasn't for him, the Mavs wouldn't have gotten as far as they did last season. ARGH!!!! The Mavs are going to fall back to the OK team and not a good team. Besides, the least they could have done was insert Bradley into the trade...GET RID OF HIM!!!!!!! I'm pretty worried about this coming season. With the Lakers getting Payton and Malone, they pretty much have the championship locked up, but the Mavs could have been contenders. I guess they'll be saying at the beginning of the season..."Next year." If not, I will.

Back to the old skool

I am watching MTV right now and they are doing a piece on the Queen of Hip-Hop....Mary J. Blige. Ahhh yes, the old skool..."REAL LOVE". Need to find "What's the 411?" and listen to it again.

And now the video for "Boys of Summer" redone by the Ataris...I love the Don Henley version, but this one (literally) ROCKS!!!

Off to LA

Well, my boys and girls are off to LA to film a music video. Who you may ask???!?!? Well, if you haven't checked them out yet...they are wakingNorman. They are leaving in a few hours...they should all be asleep right now as I post. Anyway, the boys are filming a video for "Stuck in a Stare" and it will be a big hit. For anyone that has had a dream and a love and has had to make a serious decision on which path to follow...this song will definitely have meaning for you. Who are the girls mentioned in my opening sentence...those would be the support cast...booking and merchandising (Beth and MA). I wish I could go!!!! I am sooooo there for the next LA trip! Leno maybe? If I had known about it a while ago and had the opportunity to save money, I would sooooo be there!!! I know they will have a good time and wish them nothing but F-U-N. Again, if you have had a chance to check them out and take a listen....go to the website NOW!!!!

Friday Five

1. What's the last place you traveled to, outside your own home state/country? My "home" state is Illinois, but my "current home" is Texas. So outside of my home state would be Florida(Christmas 2002) and outside of my home country would be the Philippines(1994).

2. What's the most bizarre/unusual thing that's ever happened to you while traveling? This is pretty unusual, but when I was travelling to the Philippines, I noticed a guy who looked familiar. I thought he went to my HS. (By now I was a sophomore in College). Anyway, I happened to have my video camera and he was sitting a couple of rows in front of me. He happened to have his arm over the chair next to him revealing a class ring. When I zoomed in, it was the EXACT same ring that all Lane Tech grads receive. Never ended up talking to the kid, but all in all remembered...WHEREVER YOU GO, WHATEVER YOU DO, REMEMBER THE HONOR OF LANE!!!

3. If you could take off to anywhere, money and time being no object, where would you go? Europe, I would backpack around Europe, especially Italy.

4. Do you prefer traveling by plane, train or car? Initally plane, but once I am somewhere a ROAD TRIP is always FUN!!!!

5. What's the next place on your list to visit? Realistically Chicago, but if I had a chance to go somewhere other than Chicago, I would love to go back to NYC. Internationally (i.e. outside mainland US), Puerto Rico!!

One Busy Week

Well, it's been a hell of a week. I had two finals...Strategic Management and Financial Management. They both went...OKAY. Not great, just okay. I really wasn't into studying as much as I should have. Why you may ask? Well, I am the newly appointed Marketing Communication Rep for wakingNorman. I am very excited about the position. These guys are headed upward and I am totally ready for the ride. I was flattered when Troy, the lead singer, told me that they thought of me when they were thinking of a marketing person. I just think I post waaaay to much in the discussion group that they figured I had all the time in the world. Well, I kinda do...at least for the next three weeks. I also had an interview this morning for an internship opportunity with the Dallas Mavericks. I hope I get the position. All I know is, this fall, I will be one busy bee. Anyway, this is brief because I've got other things to do. Oh I also forgot to mention, I also have to plan for a shower for my friend Leslie. AHHHHHH!!!!!
