MEMORIAL DAY EDITIONTalk about some nice weather! The weekend in general was pretty tiring for me but the weather was pretty dang nice! It managed to stay in the very low 70's during the day which was great because I spent it almost entirely outside. Some over cast here and there but otherwise, just cool and the night's were cold but I don't mind. And now it wraps up with just a thought of remembering those who served and sacrificed for us and the country we have ... Thank You.
Weekly Update:
Crazy week! Started off fast too ... Fast and Furious!! Went to the premiere on Tuesday for "Fast & Furious 6" and it was a pretty exciting film from what I saw (got there late) and at the party caught some folks:
*Justin Lin - Director of the film and a really cool guy.
*Michelle Rodriquez - one of the stars of this film and WAY cool!!
*Gina Carano - not much on acting yet but very sweet.
*Sung Kang - from most of the Fast movies and a cool guy.
*Christopher 'Ludacris' Bridges - rapper and actor of the film and a pretty cool guy.
Then on the weekend was the 55th Annual Garden Grove Strawberry Festival and it was tiring. I was all over the place just wanted to take a nap some where! But while there, got some shots with some folks:
*Christine Devine - from Fox 11 news and the Grand Marshall of the parade, very nice.
*Karan Brar - from the Disney show "Jessie" and a really great kid.
*Emily Evan Rae - up and comer actress from "Parenthood" TV show to "Lost" and very charming.

Other News:Ten Brands That Will Disappear in 2014. Another interesting article of ten brands which will disappear in the next year due to one reason or another. #10) Road & Track - old publication but that is reason enough why they will be gone, anything published! But with websites and crowded online sites there is no more room for the historical magazine. #9) Mitsubishi Motors - We have seen Saturn disappear and this motor company is simply struggling to survive like everyone else but obviously more. #8) Leap Wireless - never heard of this company but it's another manufacture of smart phone technology which there are many other brands attached to a carrier. #7) WNBA - Women's National Basketball Association ... this is still around? Thought this died years ago. #6) Olympus - known for camera's, the market is already ruled by the likes of Canon, Sony and Nikon not to mention the various smart phones and pads that have high resolution cameras built in now. #5) Volvo - known as the "civilian tank" due to its safety factor, was never a big car company in the US. #4) LivingSocial (pictured) - daily deals website and just can't keep up with the giant Groupon. #3) Martha Stewart Living Magazine - yet again, more publication simply disappearing with the rest. #2) Nook - the e-reader that is struggling ... they all are struggling with the pad technology that can be an e-reader so why buy an e-reader that can't be a pad? #1) J.C. Penny - this has been on the lists for a few years and from multiple sources. This is way over due but they continue to struggle but who knows for how much longer.
