CHILLIN' @ BUFFALO WILD WINGS

I HAD SUCH GOOD TIME GOING TO CC UPLAND FOR THE E3 STUDY AND DOING WORSHIP WITH MY BUDDY RAY, NATE, TAYLOR & MATT. AFTER THE STUDY A FEW OF US WENT TO BUFFALO WILD WINGS FOR DINNER AND MAN IT WAS MY FIRST TIME EATING HERE. IT WAS INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS. I HAD 12 PIECES OF TRADITIONAL CARIBBEAN JERK WINGS. THEY WERE A BIT SWEET AND SPICY. IT WAS GREAT SEEING AMANDA, MIKEY, ALISON, SAMANTHA, JUSTIN AND OF COURSE MY BROTHER RAYMOND. I ALSO HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET COOL CATS [AND HIP-HOP HEADS] LIKE BARRY WHO IS WEARING THE LECRAE: REBEL TEE, TAMARA, JOSH AND KERMIT IN THE PLAID STUSSY JACKET.

ACTIVE WAREHOUSE SALE

I LOVE ACTIVE! THE FIRST WAREHOUSE SALE WAS A SUCCESS. AS YOU CAN SEE ALL THE PEOPLE LINED UP TO PURCHASE THEIR STUFF, AND EVEN MORE PEOPLE RUNNING AROUND GRABBING VARIOUS CLOTHING & SHOES THAT ARE REMARKABLY MARKED DOWN. I ACTUALLY DIDN'T PURCHASE ALL THE STUFF THAT I'M CARRYING IN THE PICTURE, I'M HOLDING SOME OF THEM FOR ZELDA. BUT I ENDED UP PURCHASING SHOES AND A JACKET AT A VERY LOW COST. IT WAS SWEET RUNNING INTO SOME OF MY FRIENDS AT THE SALE ALSO. THE LINE FOR PURCHASE WAS A BIT HIDEOUS THOUGH BECAUSE WE HAD TO WAIT IN LINE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BUT IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. GO ACTIVE!

HIRO NAKAMURA

EVERY ONE WANTS TO BE A SUPERHERO AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID. OCTOBER 31ST WAS A SWEET EVENT CONSIDERING AN OPPORTUNITY TO DRESS UP AS SOMEONE ELSE. I WASN'T REALLY SURE WHAT TO BE, BUT I FIGURED SINCE I'M SO HOOKED ON THE SHOW EVERYONE IS RAVING ABOUT. THERE WAS ONE CHARACTER THAT I RELATE TO AND ENJOY THE MOST. HIS NAME IS...HIRO NAKAMURA. HIRO HAS THE ABILITY TO TELEPORT AND HE CARRIES AN AWESOME SAMURAI SWORD. HOPE YOU LIKE THE PICTURE OF ME AND THE ACTUAL HIRO NAKAMURA [MASI OKA]. YOU COMPARE WHETHER I PASS AS THE AWESOME CHARACTER FROM THE HIT SHOW, "HEROES." HIRO IS MY HERO!
