Monkey Helper










I found out about Minnie, a capuchin monkey. Capuchin monkeys are endlessly curious monkeys good with using tools to assist with daily living. Only 104 monkeys helpers like Minnie are found nationwide. With training costing $30,ooo each, there are not enough Capuchin monkey helpers for the 11 million disabled Americans who need daily living assistance.

Craig Cooke (located in picture to the right)
broke his neck 11 years ago in a car accident. Now a paraplegic,
he relies on Minnie to help bring him things around the house.
An organization, Monkey Helpers, based out of Boston has helped Craig Cook become a spokesman for Helping Hands foundation
and given Minnie a loving home. Minnie has a 30 word command vocabulary and can turn on the computer and load Cd's.
Her favorite command is "Give me a high-five."









Among local news in Austin, "Miracles do Happen", Phoenix is a living example and has been in my prayers along with the rest of the Austin community and Animal Lovers around the world.

Texas Heatwave

7/20/08 Austin, TX
Texas Heatwave was within the Austin city limits this past weekend 07/20/08 and finally I was able to attend. An expensive event if you decide to attend at last minute, so word to the wise, get your tickets pre-sale for next year’s event. I will say the money was well spent for the spectacular car show they exhibited.


Now I know why it’s the most talked about event in small towns across West Texas and surrounding areas. The venue provides an opportunity for vendors, spectators, performers, and staff to showcase. The event is very organized from a spectators view. The only complaint I had was when a hateful group starting yelling at me and my friend for slightly touching their fugly plain silver mustang, I doubt it had anything to do with us messing up the car up, but more with them hating on my friend attempting to get a poise for a photo. Now I know you invest tons of money to showcase your car, but like all matter on this universe it will eventually get touched!

Raquel Raquel
RaquelRaquel rocked the event with her presence and she will be making plans to attend the TX Heatwave in Corpus Christi, so plan to attend and have you photo taken with her for only $5. Be the first 5 to have your photo with her and receive a free autographed shirt!

All together the event was a blast, despite the heat.
In all I took 400 pictures of the event feel free to drop by my album on photobucket to view.
Texas Heatwave delivered well for a Sunday patron that didn’t want to frequent the mall or spend her day at home. I highly recommend you make plans to attend the next event near you.



p.s.
As much as I fancy Wings Stop, they got me trippin, trying to charge me 25 cents for a
To-Go container. Haters! I needed those 25 cents to vacuum my car!

(John & Jason reppin Dallas,TX/Oak Cliff)

From starting it out at Firehouse Lounge with BRMG/Feddi Man/Question/DJ Protege to kickin it pool side at the Omni rooftop with out of towners from Dallas,TX.
I discovered a fun new spot to get your grub on.

Wahoo’s located at 509 Rio Grande..

We ended the perfect Sunday at Sullivan’s with a bar entree for only $5, a sliced steak served with spinach and mushrooms.
Whoever said you had to leave town to get away and explore something different, must not break out of their comfort zone very much. All it took was a simple hello and the rest is history.

I Scream BBC


N*E*R*D AT ROTER SALON BERLIN
Uploaded by solebox


An admirer of innovation, clout, everything exciting to the eyes, I'm crushing Pharrell. Yep as clever as his name, Pharrell, I'm being "for real". For those of you that dont get it, heres some eye candy as in "Seeing Sounds". In Pharrells own words, Seeing Sounds is explained as a psychological phenomenon known as "synesthesia". Synesthesia is when your eyes, for example, send electric impulses to your brain, to the vision department, but sometimes the electric impulse sends that same information to the auditory part of your brain. So we see music."


Thanks to http://www.shortlist.com/, eager fans can chill backstage with N.E.R.D. without fearing making bad first impressions. My favorite part of the interview is Chad's sarcastic humor regarding illegal immigration and Pharrell's response to sweaty palms. The interview follows below, but for those of you that would like to log in to the BBC blog you can do so at http://bbcicecream.com/blog/. Shout Out! "Pharrell, if you need a fill in assistant, I am for hire" I'll take 2 scoops and I promise to share, and feed you, xoxo.
