Double Digits...

While everyone was raving about IKE (oh and for the record, it did alot more than I expected), I was preparing to go to my youngest sisters birthday party. I have two of them, Summer, who is 11 and Savannah, who was celebrating her 10th Birthday. She was extremely excited to become "Double Digits." There was a Dave & Busters type of gaming system, the kiddos played games for tickets they were able to cash in for prizes. There was some intense musical chairs going on and all kids love candy, so they were jacked up on WarHeads (super sweet then SOUR candy) and AirHeads, hot dogs, nachos and one of my moms favorite punch concoctions. There was even a magician who was good enough to make me wonder how he did some of his tricks. All in all, it was a funky good time and getaway, I was able to escape Ike like Tina did, and spend some time with the fam... The image is somewhat of a storyboard of the party.

Talented...

As many of you know I have a "side-job" as a Learning Community Coordinator at PVAMU... Its pretty rewarding assisting students in their Freshman year of college and having them return throughout matriculation to reflect, ask for more advice or just to stop by and see how Im doing. Not to mention Im usually in a position to capture events given by the University and in particular, University College, the freshman housing complex. The first big event of the year is a Talent Show, here are a few images. The first is my favorite of the night, a group doing their rendention of "Just Friends" by MusiqSoulchild. The other is a mini collage, (clockwise) an "familiar scene" sonic "slushes" at on campus event. Intro a dance routine. Dejon Hill performs a self written and produced rap. A moment in the dance from shot #2.

Ike or Sike...

Hurricane IKE has taken over everyones mind... Evacuate, prepare, blah blah blah. I was leaving anyway because my little sister is having her 10th Birthday Party today. Back to IKE, since Thursday the "experts" told everyone in the Houston Area to leave, take cover, or prepare to be in water up to their eyeballs. I watched the weather via the 'net until about 4am. For most areas other than downtown, nothing but a cool summer shower and some winds that people in Chicago (the windy city) experience daily. Although Galveston was hit pretty hard, those same "experts" said there would be surges up to 25 feet, ummm actually 11 feet was the best, or worst. Good call by the people in Houston that decided to stay and have Evacuation Parties instead of wasting time and money running from the drizzle. Anyway the Birthday Party starts in about 2 hours and I plan on making some great things happen. Special thanks to KingdaviD for letting me borrow his 40D, I havent had my camera since September 2, it was being repaired and when I planned to pick it up yesterday before my drive to Dallas, (of course) the repair shop was closed.
Heres a couple of images from the beginning of my drive to Dallas from "Houston." Gotta admire us Texans and our fearless humor.

LaborDayClassic...

We win again. Prairie View dominates TSU despite their gaining one "star" player during the off-season. Pretty lopsided victory for the Panthers to begin what should be a storybook season and a final nail in that "Losing Streak Filled" coffin... Here's are a couple of random shots.. First is the kickers helmet, hence the practice net in the background. Then the Prairie View Marching Storm, lastly me displaying my first ever "official" field pass (usually I just wander down there and hope no one asks me where my pass is)...
FYI I didnt go to watch the game at all...
