Happy Belated Birthday Keith Moon!

On August 23, he would have turned 60 if he was still alive. However, he is still alive in the music of The Who. LONG LIVE ROCK!!!!!!!

One Year Later

It's been a whole year since this tragic event, a year sure flys by fast, but I wonder if it had moved too fast. From what I've heard, things still not have improved much so far. The casinos are going to be up and running starting tomorrow, which is good in a way because New Orleans residents get their jobs back to get their life back to normal again. I wonder though, what about the homes? I know that some are being rebuilt, but is it enough? I also wonder if New Orleans will ever be the same again. I pray for the victims that they will carry on with their lives.
Five years ago, I was very fortunate to have visited New Orleans. The trip was for a National Youth Gathering for Lutheran church youth groups across the United States. It was a week long event, but my youth group was there for nine days. We arrived two days earlier than the other youth groups, so we had the chance to explore certain places like Bourbon Street (we only walked down the street and went inside no places there) It was a wonderful trip and I had always wanted to go back. Now I am really hopeful that all the things that makes New Orleans what it is, will be restored. It is more than just Bourbon Street, it is about the culture, the historic scenes, the numerous ghost stories, the music, the people, and more!

95.5 KLOS Rocks!

When I went to go pick up my sister from work, I was looking for a radio station that was playing good songs, and when I turned it on to 95.5 it was playing The Who's "We're Not Gonna Take It" then as I'm waiting in the parking lot for my sister, "See me, Feel Me" plays right after that! Then after that it was "The Real Me" Yes! It was the radio station's Block Party. On some stations, a block is considered three songs in a row, but not KLOS, a Los Angeles based radio station that plays great rock music. They play a whole bunch of songs! They kept on coming! cause after "The Real Me" was "Long Live Rock", then "Emminence Front", followed by "We Won't Get Fooled Again" I bet that as I'm typing this, the songs are probably still coming! If only this station were available over the internet right now!, but I have to get a special receiver for that. I love moments like this when a radio station plays many great songs in a row! I hope this station will continue to do these specatular Block Parties! A lot of good radio stations are disappearing, being replaced by stations with no DJ whatsoever. That particular kind is called JACK FM. They say they play what they want, but that also means that there will be many songs you don't want to hear, and no block parties! That station sucks!

Snakes on a Plane

I just saw this movie today and I thought it was great! The title says it all, that is what the movie is really about. The title may make this movie sound cheesy, but think about this, in a sea of remakes, sequals, and remakes of sequals, this movie is the most original idea that Hollywood has finally come up with! It does have more to it than just snakes on a plane. Here's the plot: An FBI agent escorts a witness on a flight from Hawaii to LA when an assassion releases hundreds of deadly snakes on a commercial airplane in order to eliminate the witness.
Go see the movie if you haven't yet, or if you have seen it, did you love it? hate it? let me know!

The Craziest Thing Happened Today

You guys remember my post about my dog Sophie right? Does a little Jack Russell Terrier look like a vicious dog? No? I thought so. Anyways, Sophie does have a problem of running out the front door when we answer it, or when we're leaving. Well today when my sister, her friends and I were all leaving, Sophie runs out the door. She runs over to the neighbors across the street who own a pitbull and like most dogs she barks at it. The pitbull knocks down the fence and gets out, but instead of chasing after Sophie, he wanders around. When the neighbors two children try to get their pitbull, Sophie runs up to them like she usually does when she sees people, but not chasing them. My sister catches Sophie and the two kids were able to catch their dog. Now here's where the problem starts, my dad goes over to the neighbors house to appologize and even made an offer to fix their fence. What do the neighbors do? they yell at my dad saying the following (I'm not kidding) "If your dog ever gets out again and bites my kids, I will kill it!" then he threatens to call animal control. Then after that, my sister and I head over to PetsMart to find an invisible fence to keep Sophie from running out the front door. Unfortunately they are very expensive, so instead we get a spray that is designed to keep your pets away from areas that you use it on. When my sister and I got back home, we learn that our neighbors really did call animal control and guess who got the $25 dollar fine... us! Here's the crazy part, animal control told my dad that we have to keep our dog under control and if Sophie is in our neighbors' yard, they have the right to kill her. I don't think that's right. I think the neighbors exagerated to animal control because my dad told me that they claimed that Sophie chased after the kids. If you look at Sophie's picture, does that look like a dog who would chase and bite children!? Forgot to tell you guys, the neighbors kids are 9 and 12 years old, did I mention that they have a Pitbull that I've never seen being taken for a walk and kept locked up in their backyard!
I'm going to look up the animal laws and see if it is true that a person has the right to kill a dog that is on their property.

Update: I found it! Here's the link to the Laws. California Consolidated Dog Laws

I Can't Go To The Who Concert. :(

Wow! after being away from the computer for two days, I'm amazed at how many comments I have gotten. Thank you all for the nice compliments of my dog. I also want to thank those who have e-mailed me, I loved the comments and pictures that was sent to me. Speaking of e-mails, I got two alerts for Who tickets, one from Ticketmaster and the other from The Who news alerts. They were both offering tickets for the Hollywood Bowl, the difference is the date of sales and probably the prices. I know I've been telling you guys that I was going to try to go, unfortunately there are two reasons why I can't. One: I can't afford the tickets, I don't blame The Who for that, Ticketmaster is charging $450.00 for them. Two: Even if I somehow came up with the money or find cheaper tickets, my Mom's side of the family is having a Family reunion, which is going to be on the week of this concert. We all know that family comes first, and I hope that the oppportunity to see The Who will come again.
Like this picture? I didn't draw it, the credit goes to Romney Vasquez who submitted it as Guest Art from ROCKTOONS.com, they have so many drawings of many musicians and Bands. I have left a link to that website, check it out!
