So I was watching TV last night [that doesn't happen very often] and it was commercial time again.. and all of a sudden I hear SantoGold! In a Budweiser Lime commercial! Sooooo cool! Good for Santi! I hope she made a good buck on that! She rocks, I love her music, I know I am repeating myself haha.

  • My major crush URIJAH FABER is fighting Mike Brown on September 10th. Location: Hardrock Seminole in Florida! I am sooooo excited! I HAVE to go to Florida and see the fight live with my girls! Hopefully there will be an afterparty @ one of the clubs there and I can get to meet him and just tell him that he’s hot! hahaha! [I sound like a stalker huh?]
  • I have a presentation for TalentGuide next week… I need to prepare myself!
  • Tomorrow Sarah and I will be going to see the Flobots @ Bowery BallRoom… am pretty stoked!

Some info on Flobots:

When a pair of intelligent, visionary emcees joins forces with a battle-hardened, groove-fusing rhythm section, a classically trained violist, and a jazz trumpet player, the result is a sound that explores and expands the frontiers of live hip-hop.  Progressive in both style and message, the band’s ability to drop from symphonic rock-infused crescendos into stripped-down string-laden breakbeats has earned Flobots a reputation for both originality and authenticity.  Armed with musicianship, intelligence, and an ingrained sense of rebellion, Flobots are looking to engage a new musical culture, one mind at a time. read more…

In February 2008, Flobots launched a project entitled “Street Team” which will allow them to put their socially and politically ripe lyrics into action. Brer Rabbit has said, “There are lots of things we can say theoretically about wanting to activate a population, but we are actually trying to create a real plan to allow people to be a positive force in the community.” Street Team allows volunteers to sign up to work on various projects throughout their community. Currently, Flobots have partnerships with Colorado Progressive Coalition, Student Peace Alliance, and Denver Children’s Home. The Flobots also have performed several free concerts at PeaceJam events. read more….

Other than that, oh… I had my bodyfat measured: 20.5% . I want to go down to 17 % so it’ll take some dedication… but like with snowboarding, I will be persistant and I will succeed!
