Here's my review of the American Music Awards:
1. Did anybody else notice that they kept cutting to shots of Reba McEntire the entire evening?! What's with that?
2. Whitney Houston - International Artist of the Year: Cool performance. They made her look good with the 'heavenly white' theme.
3. Taylor Swift - Artist of the Year? Seriously?! I mean, REALLY!?!?
Now, we all know I have some biased opinions against her...but even with those aside, I still think Michael Jackson should have had this in the bag. The statistics for his music and movie sales since his death have been mind-blowing...far bigger and far more of an impact than Taylor Swift.
Ah well...

Updates!!
Ugh, I'm swamped. Things are going crazy lately. I've been working almost every day for 2 weeks straight. This weekend I am working on a music video, and next week, I have some days off, which will be GREAT. I'm looking forward to relaxing over Thanksgiving break.
For those that follow on my Twitter, you know that I recently received tickets from the Red Cross to see KISS in concert next week. I'm pretty excited, and I feel lucky that I got tickets for free! I love some of the benefits of working at the Red Cross!
About a week ago, I had a unique opportunity to check out a preview screening for the movie "Wolfman". It was a fantastic preview, and I am very glad I got the chance to see the movie...even though I'm not usually one for horror / thriller movies. It scared me good at some points, but it was a REALLY well done movie.
In other news, I received an email today from a lady that works over at ABC Studios that I recently met. She was in a class of mine not long ago, and since then, I have been lucky enough to stay in contact with her and she's been really helping me try to get my foot in the door at the wonderful world of Disney. In her email, she included the following line which put a grin on my face...not that I'm really out to be an actor, but it's fun and neat to hear, nonetheless and to me, it says something about my style and such. It's just an overall well rounded compliment considering the many angles at which it alludes to.
Anyways, that's all for now, folks. I'll be around early next week when I can afford to relax and breath again. For now, I'm off to bed!!!

2012 Screening
Hello, everyone!
Boy, I've been crazy busy this week!! I've been working with Red Cross quite a bit lately -- but I'm happy and thankful, because good hours means good money.
On Thursday, I had the chance to go with my friend Elliot to see an advanced screening of 2012 in Hollywood. We had a good time and enjoyed the screening -- even though we thought the movie was a little different than we had hoped. It was a good time, nonetheless, and we had fun.
Tomorrow I'm off to teach the Burbank Police Department CPR and I'll be hitting another screening tomorrow evening. I'll update again soon!

Glee Screening!
Tonight was a great night, folks!
I had the special opportunity to attend a screening of an upcoming "Glee" episode. I just keep having REALLY good luck with the promotions they are offering!
The next episode of Glee is truly an amazing episode. SO much character development - especially with Jane Lynch's character. There's no doubt she'll be getting an Emmy for her role in the show next year.
Below is a picture or two from the evening. Not much, but it'll help see how AWESOME it was. :)

Birthday Recap
Hello, Everybody! Boy, what a crazy and exciting few days it has been.
Jessica and I celebrated our birthdays yesterday at Disneyland and we had a great time. The park had some interesting things happening -- like a random power outage in Tomorrowland and a lot of the rides having difficulties. But, on the other hand, Stevie Wonder made a surprise appearance at the resort and sang a few songs in front of the castle for ABC's Christmas Day parade broadcast. It was a pretty unique day and a different Disney experience than usual. We also did the character dining experience for brunch and had a great time.
Jessica and I made t-shirts to celebrate our birthday...
A special thanks to everyone who called or texted to wish me a Happy Birthday :) It really meant a lot. When I am out here and so away from home celebrating my birthday, it can get rough at times because I am not always surrounded by family and friends, but hearing from people makes it easier :)
Also, a shout out and "thank you" to Auntie Debbie for the fun food basket and flowers. I especially got a kick out of the flowers and the mug they were delivered in! Take a look:

Penn & Teller!
This evening, in celebration of my birthday, I went to see Penn & Teller in Los Angeles. They are in town doing a 'mini tour' celebrating their 35th anniversary in show business together. My roommate Jessica was able to come, too. We didn't sit together, but obviously we saw the same show.
The show was fantastic! So funny and so intelligent. I loved every second of it. My seats were 2nd row and it was just too cool.
Afterwards, we were in for another special treat. We got to actually MEET Penn & Teller. We weren't expecting such excitement, so we only had a camera phone to use...but it worked! I also got my program autographed :)
