Looking forward to the great Kenny Rogers concert on Friday, it sure brings back a lot of memories listening to his songs. I remember getting interested in Race cars and ofcourse Diane Lane when I was a little kid and saw 'Six Pack' for the first time. It sure will be fun meeting him too in person. The best part is that I will be up close to Kenny because I'll be covering the event for a publication. I'll try to post some pics on Saturday.

Cars that dreams are made of, saw these babies today at a sports car auction, very nice indeed.

Some Pics from the Miller Light event Coverage. Nothing too glamorous, although covering events like this one I thought it would have a little bit more pizzazz but nothing fancy schmancy.

The most uncomfortable car I have ever driven in my life the Pontiac Solstice, ouch, my legs were sore after driving it on 50 miles. My 1991 Mazda Miata is more spacious and ergonomically designed. 2 thumbs down.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

My first digital camera the Sony DSC-S30 which I bought in 1999 is still going strong, believe it or not its only 1.3 megapixel which doesn't mean a lot in this day and age but still its out of this world, it is always with me where ever I go. This has been the most dependable camera that I have ever had, dropped it about a dozen times and it still works fine. Check out the 2nd pic of my Xircom Pcmcia card, it was taken in the micro mode, f-2.8,shutter 2 seconds, distance 1 inch from my laptop. The picture quality is unfrickining believable. For point and shoot I will definitely recommend Sony products no doubt.

Move over Ipod your match is finally here, being a great fan of the radio I can't resist but drool over this technological advancement, radio and mp3 player.

I just had a 'steak ala mark', yes it is a dish I named after myself, its something out of this world, I'll be posting pics of the ingredients and how you can actually make one, its a bachelors dish for those lucky ones that have a wife or a girlfriend maybe you can have them make it for you. You must be a meat lover to enjoy this.

1. Celebrities I have met ? Too many to list

2. Celebrities I will meet ? Only pics can tell, I don't BS, can't stand BS'ters either, thats why when I meet a certain group of people that sit there and brag about stuff I just look at them and think man what the hell are you talking about, I have been there and done that 10 times over.

3. Biggest celebrities I have met ? Still too many but Arnold, Stallone, DeNiro, and Costner are my number ones.

In my job the infatuation of meeting a celebrity is limited to only 10-15 minutes except when you meet Beyonce or the Pussycat Dolls, even after that they are nothing but subjects in my Nikon D2x viewfinder. Ofcourse having a nice conversation is limited to them asking me what media I belong to or me asking their permission to take a photo with them. Always look out for the bodyguards of some celebrities, man some are the rudest and most vulgar sons of &*^%)'s I have encountered. The bodyguards sometimes think I'm some sort of a paparazzi but infact I'm not, I get hired by some of the biggest publications to cover events, its good maybe because I don't kiss ass. I do my work and get the #$%@ out. The coolest thing is you meet a celebrity who has played so many diverse roles for eg, Rambo to Rocky etc and in real life when you meet him he is about a foot and a half shorter than you. All in all meeting celebrities is good, you see where they came from and because of their hard work and perseverence what stage they have reached in their career. Me I'm a media junkie, was a model, studied journalism, became a news anchor in the gulf for a few years (muzeea al-akhbar) hey it wasn't CNN but atleast 10 million people in the gulf knew me , moved to States and still in the media. I like behind the camera approach, its more eye opening. I always try to help out other up and coming media students. My number one rule, keep your eyes open, and mouth shut, you will go a long way.Never criticise anybody but take critisicm, you will learn more. Keep yourself up to date with all current news and affairs. I guess that's basically it.

WOW, just got the list of all the cool concerts and celebrity events that I'll be covering, can't wait for the dates, I can't post all the pics of some issues but I'll definitely post pics where I'm in it. Man I got the best job in the world. I can't believe it from the deserts of hijaz to the world of pizzazz.
