I have my new camera with me at all times, so at various moments when I see something that will be funny I jump at it 😉 Here is my head on top of a headless child’s body and me and my separated at birth monkey twin 🙂
We really kicked ass! We were in full vacation shopping mode and got just about everything we needed to get!
I came up with a cool concept I do not know if it exisits!!! My buds have an audio blog so I wanted to try something new 🙂 Check it out

THE MAN IS THE SELF PORTRAIT GOD!
AGAIN I saw the man in action. Sets his hand up, looks at the crowd, looks back at the camera tweaks it a lil looks back at the crowd, turns smiles BAM!!! The 1 take wonder god gets 16 PEOPLE IN ONE SHOT! BTW – The contest is getting HUGE I think I got another person in on it and people keep asking me when I am striking next! Will I get it here? Will I strike in Italy! Tune back and see!
WOW, Gleny strikes back the very next day with this way over the top GEM – 32 PEOPLE! This is getting tough! Clearly these people were unaware of the contest, but I am the judge, and if Gleny cracks me up, well it is good enough for me! 33 Here I come!

Checked out one of my all time favorite bands today CHEAP TRICK, with my bud Chris Lee at Vintage Vinyl promoting their new DVD “From Tokyo To You”. They were awesome! Wasn’t a huge crowd, but at least 150 people came down to check out the band! The boys did 3 songs (all acoustic) – California Man, Best Friend (From the latest CD “Special One”) and one of my all time favorite song, I Want You To Want Me!
The guys are really nice! I got in a self portrait with the man himself, lead singer Robin Zander! Chris also enjoyed meeting the band and even got an autograph for my pal Mike!
Check out all the shots here! –

I GOT IT!
I was looking awhile for a camera I can take with me everywhere! Don’t get me wrong, I love my other babies, but I was ready to take the next step to the latest Sony Digital Camera! After extensive research and also forgetting my lil water proof camera at the All Star game, I came across the Sony DSC-W1! I was on the fence in the past to get the Cannon Elph or another Sony camera, but this solved my problem! It really does look like and Elph and is comparable in size.
The new W1 has a bad ass HUGE 2.5 inch screen which I LOVED on my CD based Mavica cameras, you just can’t beat it! Also love the key Carl Zeiss Lens on it, a 3X zoom is pretty good for what I need! It also takes AA batteries, so in a pinch you can get the batteries anywhere! The rechargeable Sony batteries are only like 9 bucks a pair, so you can’t go wrong with them as well! The usage time on them is around 2 hours, so I was happy with the battery life! It also has an eyepiece and it is extremely SUPER FAST! From turning on the camera to the actual first shot was less than 2 seconds! IT WAS AWESOME! I was also shocked that it did amazing video, 30 fps movie mode! I got the 512 Memory Stick Pro and it can hold up to around 20 mins of good video! I am looking forward to doing some streaming video pieces on it and adding it right to my website!
I am sure I will find some flaws with it, like red eye you always get with small cameras and the tiny flash! I also wanted BLACK 🙁 but I just couldn’t wait! I can’t wait to get to Italy and use this new awesome cam! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

I have a lil challenge on the table wanted to share with everyone. I saw my bud out the other night and we got to talking about our sites! I started the lil self portrait gallery the other day and Gleny is the king of the self portraits, so somehow I came up with the challenge of seeing how many people we can fit in a shot at one time! The only rule we agreed upon was that you have to see the persons eye in order for the shot to count! hehe – Gleny being Gleny took the challenge and came up with his first ante –
Re: I will start simple….the ante is 5
The man is good, I am not throwing down defeat, but 2 things scare me. He asked if he could get extra points for animals and musical instruments! :O This guy is good! He also has on order the latest Canon camera with a wide angle lens! I’m screwed! 🙁 O well my turn and I am at Jenks tonight, one of my favorite clubs! Let’s see how I do! Stay Tuned this may become interesting! I love a challenge!
For those of you who do not know of Harold’s (a rather large deli/restaurant in Edison), let me enlighten you in our experience! For Dean’s birthday we took him out to his place of choice, Harold’s.
I have been there before and know of the magnitude of the food there! Their sandwiches are literally enough meat for a good 5-6 people, it is insane! As Jos put it, Dean, Billy and I were like GANGBUSTERS! hehe. We ordered 2 smaller sandwiches for 3 people! All said and done we had enough leftovers for another 6 sandwiches or more. I have my lunch still for tomorrow!
Dean went the bacon cheeseburger route, with at least a pound of bacon! Unreal
Check out just one of our sandwiches!
The cakes are HUGE! Dean said he literally cut 15 slices from one piece of cake last time he was there! Although it was Dean’s birthday, we all agreed to throw in the towel and NOT get the cake!
All in all, the damage was done! Don’t know when I will be ever back there again! It was a birthday event to speak about for years to come! Can we go back to hibachi next year 😉
Happy Birthday Cuz! I hope I can conquer the Harold Sandwich! 🙂 DETAILS LATER!
Hope you had an AWESOME birthday party! Thank you for letting me light a candle! The party ROCKED! Any party that featured at least 5 BJ songs are the BEST! 🙂
THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT TIME AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY! YOU DID AWESOME!
Me And RD Getting The Now Famous “HOPPY” Cake
Ever wonder where the hell those photos I take with u go? Well, here they are in my Self Portrait Hall Of Fame! 🙂 Did you make the cut?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAL!!!! HAVE A GREAT DAY! SAVE ME A PIECE OF CAKE! 🙂
I Like That 🙂
Where do I begin? It took a bit to get to writing this from the sure drain of travel. Coming home we had a 6 hour layover from Houston to NJ, Crazy! I am home and recovering dwelling back on the big game! At that point I was all pumped! The whole Piazza – Clemens thing alone, pumped me up. My seats were perfect for the big showdown. They were warming up on the field right in front of me.
Well didn’t you know it, nothing happened! What did happen was Roger Clemens blowing the game, again, for the National League. Just thinking about it now, this kind of WAS a victory for Mike, although he wasn’t lighting Minute Maid Park on fire.
From the 6 run deficit Clemens dug, the rest of he game was down hill. It really did not help the night before the homerun derby was so kick ass and we wound up at 3 parties, you can see the let down. Granted I am spoiled but having the American Idol talent entertain the crowd, no fly over from jets overhead, no pre-game or post game entertainment??? How could it stack up too years past??? Due to the first inning, 6 run hole.
All in all the experience was great the pre game party ROCKED great party! Believe it or not the Los Lonely Boys were great; I can see why Sony signed them. 3 guys who jammed most of the time and he was a great guitar player. Their hit “Heaven” topped off the party excellent time.
The Los Lonely Boys
All said and done you can see how my week went in Houston from all my past blogs! From the day we landed and saw the 107 degree temperature on the shuttle cars van, to the 6 hour layover, it was an adventure not to be forgotten.
Major League Baseball : Events : 2004 All-Star Game: Home Run Derby
WOW, What a killer Home Run Derby! It was awesome! The 2 players that were added last minute, really kicked ass! (From MLB.com) – The Orioles’ Miguel Tejada won the Home Run Derby, edging Houston’s Lance Berkman with five homers in the final. Tejada set two records Monday night, hitting 27 homers on the evening and a record 15 in the second round.
The place went ape sh*t for Lance, the hometown favorite! I was rooting for both but with Miguel having the chance to break the record for most home runs, I was on his side! Bonds and Sosa pretty much disappointed everyone! I was going in rooting for Bonds, but what can you do. It was so amazing seeing all the home run legends! From McGire to Willie Mays to Hank Aaron, it was truly amazing! Another cool thing was seeing the stadium roof open in like 18 mins! Another truly amazing site to see!
Went to not one, not two but three parties yesterday! The ESPN Center Field pre-party, thanks to my new bud Lisa 🙂 Thanks Lisa! We also went to the Gala after the HRD and the MLBPA party! They all were a lot of fun!
Made it to the stadium!
Another day down here in Houston! I am having a blast!
The celeb game was pretty good!
Seven Mary Three doing 2 new songs I never heard of! ? Where was Cumbersome 🙁
Nick Lachey With Jimmey Kimmel
I was very disappointed no Brooke Burke but Leeanne Tweeden was a good substitution 🙂 Nick Lachey did pretty good!
The game was a blowout as usual! The games on tonight on ESPN if you wanna check it out.
Minute Maid Park is a nice stadium. It is a little odd in shape, but you gotta love any modern stadium! I really did not venture out and check it out as much as I hoped to, but will later today 🙂
Here is the train that moves and blows its whistle when a player hits a homer and crosses the plate! Very Cool!
Today is the Home Run Derby! Best part of the trip! Make sure to check back for those updates! Tomorrow is the big game, should be a lot of fun!
Celeb Softball game :
“Celebrities scheduled to appear include ABC late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, actor Matthew Modine (who recently played the role of Honus Wagner in TNT’s movie ‘That Winning Season’), singer Nick Lachey (no word on Jessica), former Phi Slamma Jamma star Clyde Drexler, swimsuit model/show host Brooke Burke, and Bill Rancic — recent winner of the TV smash ‘The Apprentice.'”
