Veterans Day Weekend Done Right

Last week I was in South Carolina to visit my little brother.  What was he doing on the other side of the country you ask?  Well he is now an official soldier of the U.S. Army!  He graduated from basic training in Fort Jackson SC last week and I went to go see him.  It was really cool to see my brother after not seeing for 10 weeks and the best part was that he had no idea I was coming.  Now that was awesome but the surprise was over cause he found me in the stands.  Either way I don't I have ever been proud of my brother before.  Before he left, oh man did we hate each other.  We would get into fights just like this but without the pyhsical contact. 

  But now that he is doing something with his life, I am now a proud brother of a United States Soldier.  HOOAH!

Murray is Guilty... CAN WE PLEASE MOVE ON NOW!?

OK, I will admit it, I am not the world's biggest Michael Jackson fan but I like some of his songs.  Not enough however to stand outside of a court house in LA and scream out that a doctor is a murderer.  I'm writing this post in South Carolina to see my brother graduate from Boot Camp and even all the way out here the verdict was breaking news.  I was really hoping that this would die down a bit but nope, and I get the sneaking feeling that this verdict is going to drag on for weeks on end.  My personal opinion is that why should there be so much hype anyways?  I guess its different for a die hard fan who lived and breathed MJ music, but I didn't so I don't see the big deal.  Was I sad that a music icon died, yeah I was a little bummed, yet people die, even when John Lennon's killer was convicted there was no one outside a court house waving signs saying that Chapman needs to get straight to jail.  And to be honest John Lennon was and will always be a bigger musical icon than Michael Jackson (sorry MJ fans).  So yeah, Murray was convicted of involuntary man slaughter, I say we honor Michael's memory by looking back at his life and playing his music, not putting the spot light on his "killer".

Clubbing and Partying! I love HALLOWEEN!

So for the first time ever I went to a club in the United States.  The first time I went to a club was in Brazil when I was 16, and it was awesome.  Even though I didn't speak the language, Brazilians like Americans and all I am going to say is that I had a really good time.  Now in the States its different cause, well we speak the same language, but that doesn't mean I didn't have fun.  Especially since it was a Halloween themed party at the club I was at, which meant girls in very sexy costumes, and I got to dance with said ladies.  I asked 2 girls for a dance and they dhot me down (that sucked), but after a while I was standing on the side of the dance floor and this group of sexy ladies grabbed me off the side and started dancing with me!  I was dressed up in a suit and I was going to tell people that I was John Lennon from the Beatles but the girls started yelling, "GO TRUMP!  GO TRUMP!  GO TRUMP!"  So I ran with that.  On saturday I went to a friends pary dressed up as Superman from Action Comics of the New 52.  That is a easy costume cause all it is, is a Superman T-shirt, jeans, and a cape!  If you don't believe me, here is a picture.
