*Okay, I’m feeling the ‘FUN’ I had last night
@ The Night Ranger/Journey Show @
Frank Erwin Center/Theatre….
Dance, Sang & Yelled to much

(no alcohol involved, but felt like it this morning.. LOL)….
Here’s my view:
‘4th Row from the Ultimate
NoseBleed….’

Ted & I made sure we
got ourselves use
to the ‘Elevation’ before the show
started…

..Night Ranger ROCKED!!!
Did ‘Don’t tell me you Love Me”
‘When you Close your Eyes’..
Even Damn Yankees!! :)
It was Cool seeing  Ted
singing & having fun  w/
it….Just had to be careful
not to stand up to fast…
It’s quite a slope… LOL
nightranger_nb_viewrs1
..Yes, they did
‘Sister Christian’
& MIX’s Marketing
Goddess KK whipped
out the ‘BIC’…
rsz_kk_flickn_her_bic_during_nr_sis_christian
…Journey w/ Arnel Pineda
was Cool..
-If you look really close
you can sorta see his online..
LOL
journey_nb_viewrs
-There were big screens
which were helpful to see
Arnel’s youth & Journey’s
wisdom…Arnel has a
‘Powerful Voice’, but not
quite the same ‘GRRR-GRIT’
like Steve Perry… but did
a GOOD JOB
(although as far as
Steve Perry Fill ins.. I think
I preferred Steve Augeri so far..
but drummer Deen Castronovo
sounded a lot like I think Steve
Perry would sound today.. he could
very easily do all the leads!!)
Overall Journey performance..
I considered it to be a Well Done
Neal Schon w/ Journey &
special Guest Arnel Show…
…Highlights.. Greg Rolie
(now Austinite/former Journey member)
came out & jammed
which ROCKED!!
… It was so Cool when Ted & I got
home, he whipped out his ‘Night Ranger’
and started playing a few tunes he heard
at the show and another he wanted to hear
w/ a Big Smile on his Face.. THAT MADE
MY NIGHT!!

..There was one thing that really
baffled me…Harmonica & Journey…
could have done w/ out this….
Remember I was way up high…
but gives you a bit of an idea…

…BTW.. LOVE YOU BUNCHES BABE FOR SCOUTING
DOWN ONE OF THE LAST PRETZELS AT FEC FOR ME!!
YOU ARE THE BESTEST HONEY EVER!!! :)

….EVERYONE NEEDS  the ability to
afford insurance… But also EVERYONE
NEEDS to be able to count on insurance
when they are sick… That’s the whole reason
we pay for it… SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!
ANY IDEAS????

*I’m looking forward to the Big Journey/Night Ranger Show !@
The Theatre @ the Frank Erwin Center tonight!  Lots of peeps
asking what does the newest Journey singer Arnel Pineda sound like?
Here’s a taste of ‘Arnel/ Journey Ear Candy’ from an Ellen appearance…

...Arnel should do pretty well tonight.. although I'll always stray back to the
Original Steve Perry...

I'M READY TO ROCK!!!

Ever since I went short with my hair in April 2008, I’ve been hooked on changing up my hair since it’s a lot of fun.  I had gone to Avenue Five Institute here in Austin about a month ago to get a facial.  You might have heard me raving about their awesome services and prices on the air, and I also blogged about them shortly after discovering Avenue Five.  I decided to try out their hair services because if you can get a great haircut, shampoo, and style in Austin for only $12, you truly are getting a GREAT deal!

 

My stylist’s name was Kara Cox and I knew about her from seeing her on another Austin blog I read called Adored Austin , where she gave the blogger some bangs.  She did such a rockin’ job on her bangs that I decided I wanted some bangs too. 

 

My inspirations:

-Catherine Zeta-Jones in Chicago-

 

-Katy Perry-

 

 

My before shot:

 

The new look:

 

 

Fun and sassy, eh?  I’m loving it!  Thanks Kara!  Go check out Avenue Five today if you haven’t yet.  All of the staff are so sweet and great at what they do….and where else in Austin can you get a decent haircut/shampoo/style for $12?  I can’t think of anywhere and to be honest, this haircut makes me happier than any I’ve had since living here and is by far the most affordable salon price I’ve paid…. what are you waiting for?

FOUR STEPS TO LETTING GO OF A GRUDGE:
Holding a grudge can feel really satisfying. But over time it’ll just make you angry and bitter. And the stress can lead to things like anxiety and high blood pressure. So if you’ve been holding a grudge way too long, here are four steps to help you let go .

STEP #1.) FIGURE OUT WHY YOU’RE STILL ANGRY. You’ve probably been wronged or insulted by someone before, so why are you so angry THIS time? You have to find the REAL reason you’re angry before you can let go of the grudge.

STEP #2.) REALIZE HOW IT’S IMPACTING YOUR LIFE. Are you constantly avoiding the other person? Is it affecting other relationships? If you realize how the grudge is affecting you, you’ll see how much simpler life would be if you let it go.

STEP #3.) MAKE A DECISION. Do you still want to have a relationship with the other person, or not? If you do, then you have to stop being passive aggressive, and you have to start being honest about why you’re still angry. Do it now, or you never will.

–If you decide to cut all ties, then DO IT. Don’t decide to hate the person forever . . . then go to brunch with them on Sunday.

STEP #4.) LEAVE THE GRUDGE BEHIND. You have to do it whether you decide to have a relationship with the person or not. It’s not for them, it’s for you. So, when someone asks how the person’s doing, resist the urge to trash talk.
