Theresa at World of  Wonder….Norfolk Botanical Gardens.

Charlie at “WOW” as well…

Some of Charlie’s Artwork…

So I am still recovering from the Nickelback concert!! WOW I still have blisters on my feet from walking all over the place in the 90-something degree weather in wedges..lol. I forgot my flops in the car!  But it was such a great show…I even caught a draft beer that they threw out into the crowd….lol.  Such a great show and if you haven’t caught a concert yet this season…DO IT:) 

I did on a more serious note…meet some people that were going through a tough time…and the show made them “escape” for a little while….The song they sang the loudest was “If today were your last day”….maybe you could read the lyrics. !

Life is good!

Jill found a great copy cat recipe for the Thai Crunch Salad at California Pizza kitchen. A lot of great ingredients went into it…

Getting everything ready…

…more additives!

And ta daa! The final presentation!

Very yummy! And we thought we were eating a pretty healthy meal since it’s salad and all. Nope! The next day we saw on Fox News that this salad has a ton of calories. Dang.

So I am sitting here at the desk, sipping on a nice chop of double shot coffee and staring at the computer screen.   I am mad at myself for eating two donuts this morning.   Since stopping the smoking, I sure am eating more and it bothers me.   On the upside, it’s coming up on 2 months not smoking.   Downside…about 7lbs on my gut.

The kids and I spent the morning running around the house with a Barack Obama mask on.  You can pick em up at Party City for about 15 bucks.   Anyway, we are planning some videos that should be coming soon using this mask.   As the director, it is my challenge to come up with the content and creative ‘angle’ so here are some ideas I had.

1. Barack loading the dishwasher
2. Barack on the potty
3. Barack rocking out to Billie Jean by Michael Jackson
4. Barack updating his facebook profile to “Chillin”
5. Barack cleaning out the gutters.

It’s all in a days fun…but never the less…it just makes things fun.  …and I am all about “the fun”. 

Have a good Thursday.

So today, Woo and I will be out at Finn McCools, again…before the Nickelback show at The Amphitheater.  We will have plenty of free tickets to the show on hand…but that does not mean Woo Woo and I personally have them in our pockets…they will be dispensed on site by our trusty promotions team; so they are the ones you want to give the “I’ll do anything for tickets” ovetures to….we are jus the DJ’s.  LOL!

See you at Finn McCools in VB!

The latest issue of Tiger Beat magazine is gonna fly off the shelves this weekend! Ladies – it’s official. Joe Jonas is single. After dating actress Camille Belle for over a year – Joe and Camille called it quits. 19 year old Joe was caught crying at a Jonas Brothers concert this past weekend.

Tony Romo has gone the extra mile to let Jessica Simpson know it’s officially OVER! The Dallas Cowboy has a sign posted outside his security gate controlled Texas mansion that reads:

“RED ALERT!!! TONY ROMO HAS MADE SOME CHANGES TO HIS LIST OF PEOPLE ALLOWED IN….JESSICA IS NO LONGER ON THE LIST AND NOT APPROVED FOR ACCESS.”

 Meanwhile – Jessica spent $17,000 dollars to have 37 boxes of clothing, jewelry and furniture shipped from that same mansion in Dallas back to her house in LA.

Kelly Clarkson and Beyonce are in a musical war – and it’s not looking pretty. Kelly just released a new song called “Already Gone”…but it sounds exactly like an already released Beyonce song called “Halo”. Take a listen: Kelly’s song – Beyonce’s song

In defense of both of the ladies – the songs were written and produced by the same guy – Ryan Tedder of One Republic.

Madonna’s UGLY, VEINY ARMS – YUCK!

CLICK HERE to watch the fight between Linds & Sam Ronson!

So while I try to not get too “Deep” on thinking (thinking, sometimes is not so good),
it’s hard to not have 5 days all to yourself and not get down to some meat and potatoes
thinking about life, where you are, and where you could see yourself going.

What I came up with was this 4 minute piece.  Enjoy!

Thanks for listening….

Vacation was great…it was a week of sleeping late, eating what I wanted…and just exploring Hampton Roads and the surrounding hamlets.

I went out to Fort Boykin in Smithfield and saw a big old tree…it looked cool enough.

After a stop in Smithfield, the attendant at a gallery I went through suggested I eat at
“Chuck a Mucks”…the name sure sounded good.   The tablefare rocked.

Here is me with a full belly and a smile after the Softshell at Chuck a Mucks

I also spent time with the kids.  Charlie and Theresa are always up for
some shell hunting…

We found some writing on the sand…

Sand-Bombs on a hunk of driftwood

My two peepes!

I walked on the beach almost every night…some great sunsets.

I’ll post some more in a bit…but I also had a pretty big moment in self-discovery that I did a video about.   The kids travelled off to their cousin’s for a week…so it gave me a TON of time to do some personal work…what happened and what was realized was awesome!  

Stay tuned!
