The Voice Tour

With the success of their first season, a tour was set up with the 8 semi-finalists of NBC's The Voice. The contestants kicked off their tour in Hollywood at The Gibson Amphitheatre.

I really loved how all the contestants collaborated & joined one another on stage. It was like a big family; a big talented rockin' family. They performed their hit performances from the tv series and the final 4 performed their original songs.




Only in L.A.? There was a surprise guest...Blake Shelton joined Dia on stage and sang Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down" with an exchange of friendly push/shove.


Thank you so much to Socialite Life! I won tickets to the show, via twitter. My Brother & I had an amazing time!

Focusing on the Family

This year I've spent the majority of my time with my FAMILY. That's cool, they're good company. Lots of bbqs, dinners, movies, parties, games, and events. Sundays are chill; my Brother comes over with the family and we just hang.

I took a family trip to San Francisco to check out a college for my niece.

My Uncle Frankie came to visit, from Seattle. That was a treat because I hadn't seen him in 8 years. He plays guitar, so we had a mini jam session. His daughter lives in Las Vegas and I offered to take him over there to visit. Of course, I didn't mind doing a little partying/gambling and seeing my cousin that I hadn't seen in forever.

There has been a lot of school events because my niece was a senior and she graduated from high school.

We had a nice graduation dinner at McCormick and Schmick's.

Another niece is pregnant and we had a baby shower.

My Nephew Josh was the coach of his brother's baseball team.

They were undefeated Champs!

I went to the El Sereno Independence Parade to support my family and community.

For the 4th of July, we had a little bbq at the house. My birthday passed and I'm another year old but not wiser. We've gone to the San Gabriel Canyon several times. Off Azusa, we head up the mountains, going towards Crystal Lake but not close enough to bump into Jason, find a spot to set up at and chill in the stream. It's the most relaxing thing ever!

I swear! There seems to be a birthday every other week. Even though I barely have money for a gift, I have to make sure I have enough for an 18 pack of beer.

Family is forever! Don't take them for granted.
