So it's time for another quiz. I had to do this one because I'm a dragon.


You are a brown dragon! You are the most reliable
of the dragons. You are trustworthy, and you
make a good leader with only a little
supervision. Riders of brown dragons are often
Wingseconds, the faithful seconds-in-command.
You are sensible and always perform as
expected.

Hello from Florida

Yes, I am in Boca Raton, FL. Happy Easter to all! It's been a very fun and relaxing trip so far. I got here on Tuesday and chilled. Wednesday I went with my mom to see "The Passion of the Christ" and had some good Chicken Marsala at Florentino's. Yesterday I went to the pool and got a little sun. Today, I got a massage...mmmm! Did I need that! Just thought I'd update you on my vacation. It's 12:08, past my bedtime....I've been going to sleep well before midnight these past couple of nights. Happy holidays to all.

Best Phone Call Ever

So yesterday I was on my way to meet my S&E Marketing group to finalize our presentation. I get a call from MA. All I hear is background noise and finally make out "Lullabye." MA gives the phone to Troy and he says "Everyone say 'Hi' to Rosie" and sings the song. They kept me on the phone during the whole song. Got to sing the last part of the song with MA even though I wasn't there. It put a big cheeeeeessssy smile on my face. I felt so special. These people are AWESOME!

In da Club

So two nights in a row I go out clubbing. Ok, not really clubbing, but I went to a couple of clubs where I just sat around and people watched (danced a few times). Yesterday I went to Cool River with my friend Sarah to see John play with a cover band called Mars Hill. It was interesting to say the least. I felt like a little kid compared to all the older folks in there. They were all jammin to the cover tunes being played. The band even played "Don't be Cruel" by Bobby Brown...which was sooo old skool, but good!

I just got home tonight from Times Square. We hung out at the San Antonio Rose part. Seeing all the girlies in there, I realized I was STUPID in my relationship with my ex. He hung out there all the time and I'm sorry but it is such a big pick-up joint. I believed him when he said that he just hung out with friends, but come on, that place is such a meat market. ARGH!!! Anyway, it was just weird being at a club. I am so used to going to see my boys and chillin'. It was fun, but I was feeling a little out of place. Am I getting old? Nah!!!!!!

Well, this is just some random mumbling. No I'm not drunk, just wanted to randomly tell you what I did this weekend.

Anyway, don't forget to turn your clocks ahead an hour or you'll be late!!!!

Awesome up and coming Dallas artists

You need to check out the JFJ Band and Tracie Merchant. wakingNorman had the pleasure of playing with both these artists this past weekend and they totally rocked.

The JFJ Band has a Goo-Goo dollish/Billy Joel sound. They soooo rocked out! The guys competed against them in the Guitar Center's Best Band search finals in Houston last year.


John, wN's drummer walked into a Dallas Starbucks and was blown away by this female singing and playing a hell of a guitar. He immediately called me and told me to remember her name. Tracie Merchant. She came out to the wN show last night and we got her to do a couple of songs. Wow, I wish I could play the guitar!


Check out both these up and coming Dallas musicians. You will thank me later!

Ok Cupid

Found this quiz off of Yano's site. Take it and find out what you are. Here's what came up for me, I am...

The Nurse
Random Gentle Sex Dreamer (RGSDf)

Friendly and eager. Sexy in white. You are The Nurse.

Like your male counterpart, The Poolboy, you're a fun and goofy, but giving, friend. You believe that life and love should be taken with a grain of salt. We'll bet you smile a lot, which people find contagious.

If only they knew the reason...the fact is, you spend WAY more time fantasizing than the average girl. While your friends lean desperately towards love, you're chemically biased towards anti-love: sex. You'd never date someone you didn't find immediately kissable.

Your exact opposite:
The Battleaxe - Deliberate Brutal Love Master

To maximize satisfaction, you should find someone carefree and sexual, just like you. Avoid Brutal types at all costs. A final bit of advice: experience doesn't matter. You didn't qualify as a Master, and your perfect match need not either. Consider both The Poolboy and The Playboy.

BUT ALWAYS AVOID: The False Messiah, The Mixed Messenger

Say Goodbye

Just wanted to post the lyrics of my most favorite DMB song. Read it and take it as you want.

"Say Goodbye" by Dave Matthews Band

So here we are tonight
You and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
What's on my mind
You've got me wild
Turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
Up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
Just for an evening
When we make
Our passion pictures
You and me twist up
Secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers,
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
To the best
Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for you
Girl just tonight

Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love
A thing or two I have to say here
Tonight let's go all the way then
Love I'll see you,
Just for this evening
Let's strip down, trip out at this
One evening starts with a kiss
Run away

And tomorrow
back to being friends
Lovers...love...lovers
Just for tonight, one night...love you
And tomorrow say goodbye

Me and my boys

What kind of Soul do I possess?


You have a heartsick soul! Youre the type of girl
who always has a crush and is writing their
name on all your books. You are a hopeless
romantic. Waiting for that prince charming, you
take love seriously, but still play any chance
you get. You can have a lot if boys who are
friends, but waiting for that perfect
boyfriend. Sometimes you are discouraged
because there are no sparks but even if the
smallest thing happens, youre on Cloud 9. You
believe in true love and wait for it. Just dont
be afraid to take a chance. Love is all about
risks.

Which of the five Chinese elements am I? (This would be a VERY COOL tattoo).


You are the chinese element of Earth. People who
are under the element of earth are sociable,
responsible and reliable. Earth, you are a
tactician, but you always crave acceptance and
are usually hard headed. The color of earth is
yellow and your symbol is the caldron.
Inbetween all of the seasons is when Earth
shines, and your months are
March/June/September/and December. Your
weather condition is windy. Earth is the
center direction, and your day is Saturday,
while your planet is Saturn. Animals under
your element are usually naked. People under
you are Manchu. Your sense is touch, your
taste is sweet, your sound is singing and your
virtue is good faith. Your organ is the
spleen. You were created by Fire and you
control Water.

Update on my life

Well here's a quick low down on my life. It's been pretty crazy these past couple of weeks. I just finished my take-home final exam for S&E Marketing and I have the in-class later today. We have two weeks until our final project is due and that will be pretty intense since our dear prof has invited some real world customers to the presentation.

Band stuff has kept me busy too....and frustrated. It is having it's ups and downs at the moment, but a friend of mine said it's just that time of year where everyone is stressed out. Some of the ups though...going to Austin for SXSW. We didn't get into the conference, but we got to play an industry party. This past Saturday we played at the Bordon Uptown Run. It was cool seeing the faces of some special olympic athletes when they got to meet the guys. Some of the downs...I seem to be the listening post for everyone, which I don't mind, but everyone is so unhappy and stressed. All these gigs, although strategic, not worth it to some of the guys anymore. They are getting discouraged and that reflects on us the staff and it makes everything crazy! We just need to get back on track. Things will turn around I hope. I love the guys and only want to see them succeed but how can they when they are not feeling the music anymore? ARGH!!!!

On a personal note, feeling a little conflicted in life, but getting through it. I made some mistakes last week, no regrets, just getting me down a little right now. Will pull through!

The CD I got was Incubus "Morning View" and the DVDs are "American Wedding", "John Mayer: Any Given Thursday", and of course a MUST HAVE "Justin Timberlake: Live in London" (which I am watching right now...HOT!!!!). To add to my Birthday Wish List: "Linkin Park: Live in Texas" and "The Dave Matthews Band: Live in Central Park"...more to be added soon I'm sure.

So here's the first story of my trip. The trip was good except my luggage was missing for a week. Got there on Monday and didn't get my luggage until Saturday. What happened? Well....I still need to write Continental Airlines, but essentially it is their fault.

The dumb ass counter guy, whose name I did not get, but I would certainly remember his face, routed our luggage on different flight on a totally different airline. See our trip started in Houston from Intercontinental Airport. From there we took Continental Airlines to LA, then on China Airlines to Taipei and then to Manila. The guy at the counter printed up the baggage claim tags to go from IAH to LAX on Continental Airlines, then to Hong Kong and to Manila...on a totally different airline, Cathay Pacific. In this day and age of airport security, obviously the luggage did not match anyone on that flight so it was left in LA. Since the international airports are not as well equipped computer wise, they had no clue where our luggage was and couldn't even find it. They had to teletext IAH, LAX, Taipei, and Hong Kong, then Continental Airlines, China Airlines, and Cathay Pacific. This process took a week until they finally found our luggage and was able to call us with the good news that our luggage was at the Manila Airport.

We had to go to the airport a couple of times. Would rather speak with these people one on one, but the people at the baggage claim were no help. While "waiting for a flight to come in" they were SLEEPING ON THE JOB!!! I'm sorry, at least go to a back room if you want to sleep, but if you are working at the airport, you should not have four employees with their heads down snoozing!!! No wonder the country isn't getting any travellers, people at the airports can't even stay awake 8 hours a day.

Anyway, the baggage claim people said they would call us with updates on our luggage but they never did. However, Andrew and Christine at China Airlines were very helpful and persistent on finding our luggage. Thanks to them for all their work.

Regardless, though, we still had to go to the That doesn't make up for the black socks I had to wear with my gym shoes though =).

Sorry I haven't posted in over three weeks, but I have been Internet deprived for two weeks. I was visiting family in the motherland, yes, the Philippines. I will write more about my trip and about the AWESOME video release party for wakingNorman's "Stuck in a Stare" that I came back for...just in time. But for now I am very tired and need rest.

Which Rose is Your Soul Bound To?

Your soul is bound to the Glass Rose: The
Fragile.

"My heart lies somewhere between perfection
and dust. And while my soul is a sight to
behold, I shatter at the blink of an
eye."

The Glass Rose is associated with perfection,
beauty, and frailty. It is governed by the
goddess Aphrodite and its sign is the Looking
Glass, or Tenuous Love.

As a Glass Rose, you have a beautiful soul and
naturally attract people to you. Love comes
naturally to you, but it hardly ever lasts.
Though you embody the perfect form of love,
your own faults are your own undoing.

Friday Five

Wow...it's been a while since I've posted here. I have been sooooo busy these past couple of weeks I don't know which way is up. I was in Chicago this past weekend for a wedding (Congrats Leslie and Bill!!!), had a 10-page paper due for a class, had to send out invites for the band's video release party, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. This coming week, I have a final exam for my Contemporary Issues class (no worries there), I have a final project for my Facilities classes (I am doing the powerpoint, but two other group members are presenting), have to design a DVD insert for the band, sort through clothes to give away, pack...and off to the Philippines next weekend for two weeks. I will be back in time (knock on wood) for wakingNorman's video release. Oh and I need to get my oil changed in my car, do laundry, sort through Youth Summit pictures, and pay some bills before I leave. As much as I want to take this laptop on my trip, I know it's probably NOT a good idea. ARGH!!!! One thing though....it will be a RELAXING two weeks...I hope!

Anyway, I got this week's Friday Five and decided to check out what the questions were. I thought they were interesting so I figured time to post.

1. Using one adjective, describe your current living space. MESSY!!!!

2. Using two adjectives, describe your current employer. Lenient, flexible.

3. Using three adjectives, describe your favorite hobby/pasttime. fun, relaxing, and interesting

4. Using four adjectives, describe your typical day. hectic, cluttered, busy, and spontaneous

5. Using five adjectives, describe your ideal life. happy, loving, caring, rich, and fulfilling

By the way....did anyone see Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight? It's amazing how he could have three musicians on and only two actually performed. I think the show is FUNNY!!!

Oh my!!! We are getting Antoine Walker from Boston!!!! How about that line-up! Finley, Nash, Nowitzki, Jamison, and Walker! Unfortunately we traded LaFrentz....why can't we sneak Bradley into any of our trades?!?!?!?! That's who we need to get rid of. Anyway, just thought I'd give a Mavs update.

I still love the CUBBIES

I just created this awesome post and can't seem to find where it has been saved. ARGH!!! Bascially I still love the Cubs and as much as it pains all the Cub fans everywhere, we must follow the age old addage..."Next Year." But this year it is more painful than ever to say that. As I had a full post working, I was watching ABCNews. They just showed snippits of news from the ABC Chicago affiliate and I LOVE the city of Chicago and their fans. We believe and will always believe. It is just not our time. I didn't cry at the bar tonight, but believe me, as I watch the news and listen to the reporters put comments to the images that I only saw up on the TV screen, I tear up. Not only does a city feel pain, but a nation does too. I feel sorry for MLB. They could have had the best ratings in baseball EVER with the Cubs in the World Series, but now must fall back on the poor fishies. I want to post more, but it is 3:30am and I am falling asleep as I type.

However, before I go to bed. PLEASE do not blame the poor Cub fan that made the mistake of not letting Alou make the catch. Shame on the media for saying his name, giving out his info, showing where he lives and showing where he works. That DID NOT cost the Cubs the possible World Series appearance. DO NOT make him the scapegoat for a bunch of flubs made by the men on the field. The poor guy issued an apology to all of Chicago. Buddy....it is not your fault!!!! That makes me cry even more.

THINGS I'VE LEARNED

Going through my inbox and cleaning it out I came across this message sent to me from my best friend Joanne over three years ago...yes I still have messages from three years ago. But it's one of those messages that never gets old.

1. I've learned - that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

2. I've learned - that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

3. I've learned - that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

4. I've learned - that you can keep going long after you can't.

5. I've learned - that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

6. I've learned - that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

7. I've learned - that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

8. I've learned - that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

9. I've learned - that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

10. I've learned - that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

11. I've learned - that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.

12. I've learned - that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

13. I've learned - that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

14. I've learned - that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

15. I've learned - that maturity has more to do with the types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

16. I've learned - that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

17. I've learned - that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

18. I've learned - that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

19. I've learned - that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

20. I've learned - that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, It doesn't mean they do.

21. I've learned - that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

22. I've learned - that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

23. I've learned - that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

24. I've learned - that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

25. I've learned - that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

26. I've learned - that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

27. I've learned - that the people you care about most in life are taken away from you too soon.

Fate, Goats, and the Bambino

Game 7 it will have to be.

Is fate and the holder of the curses tempting Cubbie and Red Sox fans? Would they be cruel enough to get the Cubs and Red Sox this far and yank it away? Honestly...it's all in the hands of the players.

It was not meant to be for the Cubbies last night, but tonight Kerry Wood will pitch us to the promise land. It looked like the Cubs and Mark Prior were going to do it last night, but in the Eighth inning it went downhill. I do not blame the poor fan who has a target on his back. God bless the poor fan. Yes, at the time, every Chicago fan probably wanted to jump him, but he didn't do anything wrong...he just wanted a souviner. Even the players feel sorry for the guy. The poor thing is also a focus on the ABC news update later this evening. But what about Alex Gonzalez....a grounder he's picked up a jillion times? It just wasn't meant to be last night and it all unfortunately comes down to a game 7. I will be in class, but as soon as we get out of there, I will be glued to a TV.

CO CUBBIES...I BELIEVE!!!!

Cubs win Game 3!!!

What a way to start a weekend at home! When I got off the plane and was waiting outside for my mom to pick me up...it was freezing....okay not freezing, but it was COLD! That's okay because it's Chicago in October and the day only got better. For lunch I had good ole Jimmy John's Subs and for dinner, my favorite Italian restaurant ever....Armando's. They have the best veal parmagiana. Dinner was AWESOME. Then at home, I watch the Cubbie game, it starts late because of the rain, but nothing is going to hold these guys back. Did anyone see the game...AMAZING pitching by Mark Prior.

Nothin' like a good ole Cubbie win to get the city all warm and fuzzy.


What a HOTTIE!!!!

"Cubs sophomore sensation Mark Prior was sensational in Game 3, outdueling Greg Maddux as the Cubs defeated the Braves, 3-1, to move within one game of reaching the NLCS."

"Prior shuts down Braves; Cubs win"
"Debutiful: Prior's first playoff start amazes"

Mark Prior went a complete game! He is such an awesome player and not to mention CUTE!

On of the best moves made....getting good ole Dusty Baker.

Ryne Sandburg sang "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."

Can the Cubbies do it tomorrow afternoon??? It's all on Clement. But if he does just as well as Kerry Wood and Mark Prior, I think it's in the bag. GO CUBS!!!!

Right-brained, Left-brained

Rosie, you are one of those rare individuals who are perfectly "balanced" in both your hemispheric tendencies and your sensory learning preferences. However, there is both good news and bad news.

A problem with hemispheric balance is that you will tend to feel more conflict than someone who has a clearly established dominance. At times the conflict will be between what you feel and what you think but will also involve how you attack problems and how you perceive information. Details which will seem important to the right hemis- phere will be discounted by the left and vice versa, which can present a hindrance to learning efficiently.

In the same vein, you may have a problem with organization. You might organize your time and/or space only to feel the need to reorganize five to ten weeks later.

On the positive side, you bring resources to problem-solving that others may not have. You can perceive the "big picture" and the essential details simultaneously and maintain the cognitive perspective required. You possess sufficient verbal skills to translate your intuition into a form which can be understood by others while still being able to access ideas and concepts which do not lend themselves to language.

Your balanced nature might lead you to second-guess yourself in artistic endeavors, losing some of the fluidity, spontaneity and creativity that otherwise would be yours.

With your balanced sensory styles, you process data alternately, at times visually and other times auditorially. This usage of separate memories may cause you to require more time to integrate information or re-access it. When presented with situations which force purely visual or purely auditory learning, increased anxiety is likely and your learning efficiency will decrease.

Your greatest benefit is that you can succeed in multiple fields due to the great plasticity and flexibility you possess.

Friday Five

Happy Birthday Friday Five!!

1. Who is your favorite singer/musician? Why? Fave musicians are the five guys of wakingNorman. They are an up and coming acoustic rock band from the Dallas area.

2. What one singer/musician can you not stand? Why? Anything tooooo heavy metal, anything tooooo country and anything toooooo ghetto/gangsta rap. I appreciate the need for those types of music, but it just doesn't appeal to me.

3. If your favorite singer wasn't in the music business, do you think you would still like him/her as a person? Yes, the five guys are the sweetest guys I know (the playas they are). Besides I work for them and they are great to work with.

4. Have you been to any concerts? If yes, who put on the best show? YES!!! From *NSYNC to Dave Matthews Band. The best shows I've been to (and I make it plural because there is definitely more than one)...NSYNC, Barenaked Ladies, Depeche Mode, and Duran Duran.

5. What are your thoughts on downloading free music online vs. purchasing albums? Do you feel the RIAA is right in its pursuit to stop people from dowloading free music? Now being part of the music business, I understand the seriousness of the situation. When you think about it, about approximately 60 million people "download" free music (stealing) and if those people were to purchase 1 CD at (and I realize this is low) $10, that's a loss of $600 million dollars. And you wonder why the RIAA is pissed? Uh, you do the math!!!

3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who specifically was responsible for naming you?) I think I had an aunt named Rosemarie or something close to it. My mom wanted Rose in my name.

4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why? No, not really. Everyone has a story behind their name.

5. Is the analysis of your name at kabalarians.com / triggur.org / astroexpert accurate? How or how isn't it? I'll have to check it out later.

Last Man Standing Week 2

I know it's early in the week, but as it stands right now, I think I want to go with Oakland. Any thoughts?

Being Happy

Got this email from my friend Lillian. It ended with the following:

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

Simple, but at times difficult. How do you live your life? Time to follow the five simple rules. Maybe we can all be happy and make the world a somewhat better place.

Last Man Standing

The pot is approximately $7000. It cost $21. 21 freaking dollars down the drain because Miami couldn't beat Houston!!!! I went out with about 200 other people. If the games continue like this week, then the last man standing will be standing by the fourth week. Luckily on my shared team I chose Denver. Gotta pick a winner for next week. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

He made you think about current issues regarding race and diversity in American in different lights. One of my most favorite classes.

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!!!

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

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! =)

Quiztime

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!!!!!
