LAUGH OUT LOUD COMEDY.
Columbian Actress Sofia Vegara said something that had me dying laughing.
"In my country we say 'Love is just around the corner'. I come from a country with a lot of prostitutes"

divulgence
today after church I was able to follow up with Renae who visited Celebration for the first time. Not only did she bring her family, she wants to come back again and again. Glory to God! [+1 UP].
Patrick and his mom came back and he's wanting to move into a new industry of work as he's moving into this new phase of his life [engagement/wedding].
[DJ] Trevor [Rockwell] is coming back more and more. it's awesome to see someone that I used to party with back in the day commit to living a God-first Life.
Jerry came with me to church got plugged into celebracion iglesia. el toco la guitara y ellos tienen un grupo de musica. Es un connecion natural. Gloria Dios!
The best part of this sunday has been my post-service impartation to a miss Heather Lapointe.
It's awesome that she's a new believer and that I had the opportunity to give her spiritual guidance. She's looking for a roommate and Jerry needs a room so we all met up at Subway at the Town Center.
"when 2 or 3 are gathered in my name"...
Heather is brand new in her walk with God. she has broken up with her boyfriend of 8 years on August the 8th. [8 in the bible is a number representing 'new beginnings']. She has a heart for serving in the nursery or working with kids. She's beautiful inside and out. I feel really honored that I had something to do with her making a decision to want to live more for God. Living the life that I have lived it just goes to show the power of God and how all things - good or bad - work out for good for those who love God.
what a great place I am in now in life.
Hallelujah.

God can't do what?
my mind : blown.
worked a temp job at ADT for the past two months. during this August break from Facebook I've been focused on the jobs that I have had and building my portfolio website.
the assignment at ADT ended for me about 2 weeks ago and I start a new job tomorrow with Convergys.
not too shabby in this recession right? Thank God.
In addition to getting the job opp doing Health Insurance Sales for a large company, I received word that Bank of America - Aerotek is willing to give me an interview this coming thursday to become a Short Sale Negotiator.
I've been trying to get back into BofA since I graduated.
Having worked there before, my mother working there, and knowing high people, I feel that I am at the right place at the right time.
with more collaborations than Lil' Wayne it seems that many many things are working in my favor.
This site is going to do so much for me.
Legitimate exposure of my art work, e-commerce, email, blog, networking, and simply adding value to someone else's life through my work.
Last winter I took the first step towards becoming a voice talent.
My demo can be found at http://soundcloud.com/rip2
Tomorrow, I will record my first commercial that will be featured on 105.3 progressive radio.
Very cliché but you can do anything if you put your mind to it...
[...p.s. those things happen faster when you have God on your side...]

The Power of this Product
I've lost 10 pounds since August 1st (24 days) on the 90-day Body By Vi fitness and Weight Loss challenge.
With about 65 days left, I may still have time to have that beach body before the Fall.
This is the easiest and the most simple weight loss regimen that I have ever been on.
I'm drinking meal replacement shakes. They smell like cake mix and taste like a milkshake.

power
as an art history minor, I have to give it up to kanye.
this less than 2 minute video is compelling art work.
michelangelo-esque
it's clear he worked with writer/director Frank Miller or Zach Snyder on this video because of the style from 300.
say what you want, there's def a method to his madness.

the parody for this video is hilarious.

chance encounter
I met this monster of a model sunday while copping some new shades.
She was light skinned like Rihanna but lighter (high yellow), about 6'3" (no lie), and had a blonde mohawk/bang du. she just got her hair cut from a stylist right before I saw her and was trying on clothes.
I like an attractive tall chick that has the audacity to wear high heels. it speaks confidence to me. she was ironically both gangly and curvy... very unique.
After making small talk with the store clerk in walks this model. As I'm paying I tell the guy... 'man, she should model'.... not wanting to let the opp slip... I quickly grab a business card lying on the counter (not mine) and write my photography group link on facebook and my email. I stood outside and waited for her to come out...
It's tough to not come off like a creeper in this situation but I had to do what I had to do... just had that gut feeling y'kno?
but.... she continued to shop... I summoned the courage to go back in and just ask... "do you model?"
as fate has it.... she does.
Instead of demanding her number to stalk her into a photo shoot... I gave her the business card with my contact info. if she likes what she sees I told her to email me (i'm off facebook for the month of august) and I didn't give her my number b/c if she's serious she'll contact me. if i never see her again than at least I gave her a way to contact me.
i tell AJ a lot... I don't believe in luck..
luck didn't happen that day... i just went for it and made my own luck as TwoFace in Dark Knight would say.
the kicker for me is that I just got my amp fixed that morning so my bass was working again.... I was jammin' out as she left the store =p
as I left, I noticed her crossing the street in my rear view mirror.
it was as if she towered over the road only taking 2 steps to cross the street.
.... what a woman. ;)

Kissoonlal 50th Birthday Party
I was hired by Karona Kissoonlal to be the photographer for her father's 50th birthday party.
The location was upscale and her family was indeed loving.
Rohan Kissoonlal was born in Jamaica in meager conditions. With 7 other siblings he was raised with less than most. He had ambition and determination and was able to move to the United States where to pursue and education. Afterwards Kissoonlal began working in the collections agency.
Today he has his on collections agency where he employs over 60 people.
The ceremony for his birthday was very special. I feel very fortunate to be apart of such great people's lives and capture such a monumental occasion in one's life. What a blessing to reach 50 for anyone let alone have such a great quality of life in spite of his beginnings. His life on this earth and the success that he has achieved is a great testament to hard work and perseverance and the benefits of following a
dream.

walking on water.
This stage in my life has been feeling like that lately.
What is opposition?
For me it's things keeping me from my goals and/or destiny.
Having God on my side and his blessing pouring out on me has definitely been making the impossible possible.
A co-worker of mine saw me ushering at Celebration and asked about it at work the following monday. he's engaged. about my age and is moving into a new direction in his life. he's interested in serving but didn't really know who to ask or where to begin. wanting to first speak with the pastor before making any decisions I was able to make the meet and greet happen thanks to Tarik (PSW's assistant and friend of mine). It's mind-blowing how God's using me (ex-sinner) to reach out to people.
If you think you have no use for the kingdom of God think again....
we all have talents, gifts, and abilities.
you snooze you lose.

teeth
going to the dentist today was pretty awesome. - it's been so long -
i def don't miss getting x-rays. there were pretty annoying but was a trip to see later.
visited my buddies off plaza at the beaches. shared Celebration Church's new worship cd: http://worship.celebration.com
work.
met up with my good friend from Vero Beach who visited jax to figure out the fall semester.
LaBouef came up with a buddy. chilled at town center. yogaberry. aj saved the day and provided them a place to stay overnight. they went to see inception.
today was a good day overall... there was almost a fight at work.... (i know right...?)
pretty interesting. i feel pretty good that i'm a connector and well networked.
now instead of just seeing what I can get to benefit me.... i'm spreading the wealth and helping as many people around me as possible.
apple doesn't fall far from the tree... but i have a pocket full of seeds.

the website is coming along great. Thanks AJ for putting up with my standards.
My shoot sunday with Alex Jarboe went extremely well. He's a 21 year old looking to get into the fitness industry. The kid is built like a horse. I hope the photographs from his shoot take him far.
