A few weeks ago while still in Texas, I took a drive down to San Antonio with Chaitra and Linda one weekend.  I had been to San Antonio once before (11 years ago) but really wanted to see the Riverwalk and Alamo once again. I am kind of bummed that I didn’t take any video footage at all while spending the whole summer in Texas, but I finally remembered to take some while in San Antonio.  With the help of Animoto, I created this little video with some of my video footage and photos from that day.  Hope you like!

PS The song is San Antonio Rose by Willie Nelson.  A little too twangy for my taste but goes perfectly with the video!

PPS  Click the smaller play button on the left side, as the big play button in the center will play the video in full screen and totally distort it

As I mentioned previously, Noemy will be moving out of MN very soon to join her husband who is a Specialist in the Army.  To help give her a proper send-off, Noemy’s family got together for a big surprise party.  And boy, was Noemy surprised!! She thought she was going over to her mom’s house to pick her up for dinner

I love surprise parties like that where the person is actually really surprised!

A few other photos from the party….

There ya go!

Man, is it really Thursday already today????

Wanna know what I did last night?

Well, first I worked 12 hours.  But who cares about that!?

I got to see Method Man, Redman and Snoop Dogg at Epic Nightclub!! 

It took some deliberating about whether to go or not since the tickets were kinda spendy, I had worked a ton that day already and I also haven't been feeling good for the past few weeks.  You know me though…. rarely do I  pass up a good time or a good concert.  So glad we decided to go! Since Myth Nightclub recently closed it's doors, Epic is hosting many concerts now instead.  The club is very cool with all of it's remodeling, much better than when it was The Quest.

I brought my dad's camera along and tried to get a few photos but none of the ones I used without a flash turned out very well.  These guys move around too much to get a clear shot, especially Redman! Here are a few of Meth and Red….

Hmmm, I wonder what Method Man is doing here!!!!?

IMG_9237

This is the best shot I got of Redman

IMG_9242

This shot is blurry but kinda cool; they were spraying water from a  water bottle

IMG_9240 

I was playing with my settings a little and thought this shot was kinda cool too

IMG_9259 

Meth & Red rocked! It wasn't the best show of theirs that I have seen but it was still a lot of fun.  After a short intermission the BIG DOGG himself came out to rock the house.

Snoop Dee-Oh-Double-Gee

I have never seen a public blaze fest like I did at this show.  Wow!

Unfortunately my memory card is only 2 gb and the camera is 14.7 megapixels.  Every time I tried to take a video my card would fill up and then I had to start deleting.  This was the only video I ended up getting and keeping…… Snoop with Lady of Rage

Last Wednesday Living Colour was in town to play a gig at Fine Line Music Cafe.  We've been fans for about 20 years but  hadn't ever seen them before, we so jumped at the chance when tickets became available.  Before the show we met a friend downtown at Pizza Luce, where we ordered dinner in the restaurant.  It was really good; much better than I remember from a past experience with their late-night pizza-by-the slice.  I'll link to the review as soon as I have it written up.  After dinner the three of us went to the show, which was really good! It was loud but the guys sounded great.  My brother Jeff was kind enough to let me borrow his camera for the weekend, so I got a few decent photos.

I also discovered that the G9 has HD video…. I owned the same camera for a year (until I dropped it) and must've had it set on the crappiest quality you can get because I was never happy with the overall quality. I took a few videos at the show but had to reduce the size of the video for Youtube. Check out "Cult of Personality" below

I may have mentioned before, but my little brother Jeff started a new blog last year called Funny Video Search.  On his site he posts funny videos that he finds (or that people send to him), then he makes commentary about it.  For one reason or another, Jeff finds stuff from the early 1990's the funniest and he loves to somehow connect the funniness he finds to me and the stupid things I used to do when I was just turning a  teenager. Recently he posted the following video and blogged about the awesome MC Hammer Pants I used to wear circa 1990.  Its true! I did have at least one pair of mom-sewn Hammer pants of my very own.  They were the bomb! Check out this video, it is great!!

Watching this video was great! Those gold lame MC Hammer pants are the best! You can even buy a pair here.  I had to laugh at all the moves of the dancers, totally brought me back in time 20 years. Just to prove that I once could do some of MC Hammer's moves back in the day, here I am making a fool of myself by trying to do the "Chinese Typewriter" that Hammer made so famous. Hope this makes you smile today!

After 17 years, Jay Leno hosted his final episode of the Tonight Show this past Friday night.  As many of you know, Conan O'Brien is taking over as Host starting this Monday.  For Jay's final show he had Conan on as a guest, a nice way to pass the reigns.  In case you missed it, you can watch the full episode of Jay's last show here.  I especially liked the ending when Jay shows us his legacy….so very sweet!  I wish both Jay and Conan good luck in their new positions :)

I guess Snowball first made his internet debut in 2007, but I am just catching on to this now (thanks E!).  Snowball is a sulphur-crested cockatoo who loves to dance to music…and keeps a beat! Check him out, it is so cute and funny!

Snowball dancing to Stevie Nicks

Snowball dancing to Another One Bites the Dust (Cracks me up!!!)

I hope you all enjoyed Snowball's dancing as much as I did!

A rockin' tune about Earth Day….
I know not everyone likes this type of music but I dig it :)
I love the part that says "don't eaaaaaaat your beeeeeeeeeeeets, Re-Cy-Clllllllle, Re-Cy-Clllllllllle" very catchy, been in my head for a few days now!!

Looking forward to the Earth Day celebration at one of my schools tonight!
Remember…. Reduce Reuse Recycle….. these are things you can and should be doing every single day :)

I saw a couple of hilarious videos on Funny Video Search and couldn't resist posting them here.  You have to watch the first one first and then the second one last.

And if you didn't think that was funny, just wait and see how Streeter gets revenge for on his friend Amir with this hilarious Prank:

My friend Jules sent this to me and I really liked the message…..
The video was submitted in a contest by a 20 year old. The contest was Titled “u @ 50″. When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause. This video only won second place!

I am going to assume that anyone who has a pet has seen them sleeping at some point (probably millions of times!) Have you ever wondered what your pet dreams about??
Check out this sleeping dog! Pretty funny!

Had the awesome opportunity to see Cynic at Station 4 later on Friday night.  They were really popular underground in the early 90's before breaking up.  A couple of years ago they got back together to create a new album, Traced in Air.  I love it! I was really looking forward to the show so I went despite having a monster of a headache for nearly 48 hours.  The show was pretty awesome! It was very hard to get decent photos of the band from where I was standing, but this one turned out pretty cool

IMG_3776-blogged
I also captured a couple of videos (which reminds me that although my Canon G9 takes awesome still shots, it has horrible video quality.  Should look into a video recorder)

Here is Cynic performing Adam's Murmur and Integral Birth

Heather and Jeremy were down at the show as well, which was great because I hadn't seen Heather since the Halloween Party!

This year celebrates the 40th anniversary of my dad owning his 1960 Corvette.  Can you imagine buying this car at 20 years old and then holding onto it for the next 40 years? To one day give to your oldest child?! (Sorry Brian and Jeff….you know the deal)

Anyway, may it be no surprise that I get a lot of my papparazzi and other skills from my dad.  Check out this video he made to commemorate his 40 years with his Little Red Corvette….
