I'm very thrilled to finally get the Samsung Galaxy S3. It will take some getting used to especially when it comes to texting. So far I am learning a lot the last few hours. And this is my first ever blog texted from this handheld device. Here's to more exciting things to come!

PSY - GANGNAM STYLE (강남스타일) M/V

This latest dance craze hitting the world and B96 FM in Chicago is already playing the song in heavy rotation. Love it! PSY is --- awesome!

We remember....the fallen on this day AND the heroes that were made.

It has been crazy the last few days. My '01 Honda Civic EX finally gave out on me after 2 major costly repairs in the last year alone. At 117,522 miles, it ends here for our adventures together and it is with profound sadness that she's likely headed to the nearest junkyard to be dissected and sold as parts (as a way to still live vicariously inside someone's 2001 or 2002 Civic) ... Holding my emotions back, I look forward to the future with my newly purchased metallic-silver colored 2012 Nissan Sentra 2.0 S (pictured above the Civic in this photograph), which will carry on the duties that the Civic has given to me all these years. She's performing well so far and I'm grateful to have her in my life. Like my Civic, I hope to take care of her BUT I promise this time, no more long out-of-state trips. My Civic and the car before that (the 1992 Ford Escort) have both suffered transmission problems and have driven to different states on a couple of occasions. If me and Rizz move to FL next year, the Sentra will in fact be transported there ... And so the great Civic passes the 'driving buddy' torch now to the Nissan Sentra who will now be helmed by yours truly here.

From my Uncle Phillip in the United Kingdom. He said it well. Let's all adhere to this message:

"Whatever country you live in and the colour of your skin, whoever you pray to at night, we all need the breeze, the flowers and the tree's, we all need the darkness and the light, we all need to breathe the air and show how much we care,the sun shining in the sky above, our hearts all beat the same, for in health as well as pain, what everybody needs is love."
