Caught an email last week from a fan of the blog, Walmer Medina… Here’s Walmers TWITTER Follow him!

Never met Walmer, never knew of him and now I can say after exchanging some emails and being blessed with a gift from him he’s a solid guy. Walmers a fan of life, a husband and a father. Walmer sounds pretty much like me! It’s amazing how people can run concurrent lives but if you take a look around stir up a conversation you’ll see that there’s people that exist that share the some hobbies, passions and zest for life that you do, just be approachable, honest and sincere and your actions and good things/people will approach you…
I sound a bit like a fortune cookie, but regardless Walmer sent me a package that consisted of the following pieces…….Thanks Walmer, we’ll get up sooner than later, can’t wait to share a beer with ya!

Walmer’s Director or Marketing for the Fresno Grizzlies the Triple AAA minor league baseball team for the SF Giants

Grizzlies beanie, New Era official team hat and a stuffed animal bear for my son Parker…

Guess what the bears name is????
Yep, Parker…

Walmer even sent over the newest from FASHAWN- Boy Meets World

I give the Fresno Grizzlies hat a thumbs up!

Parker gives his Grizzlie a thumbs up as well!!!

Titles of blogs just come out of nowhere and some I apologize for but it is what it is…
Inspiration comes from either the post, the product or what’s in my mind at the time of writing it…
This weekend was a blast we had a good time with family, friends which are basically family (The Forsbergs) and just good experiences…

The title for this blog was inspired from an SNL skit from last week w/ J Lo, yes just watch and laugh!

So out with the old and in with the new…

I’m ALWAYS on my Blackberry just ask my wife and friends…
Hey I’m NEVER not working, shucking and jiving…
So had to step it up to the new Blackberry Bold 9700 through T Mobile…
Liking it so far…
Phone looks naked, need a new case…I’ve got one coming tomorrow, JUST WAIT, you’ll see…

Now, speaking of communication (pun intended) I saw this product on Twitter and Facebook so I added them to see reviews, feedback, etc. I was even going to purchase some but low and behold I WIN some before I even have the chance to purchase some
ENTERTAINERS SECRET….Throat relief for laryngitis, hoarseness, congestion, stuffiness, and dry throat

Given my line of work, MC’ing events ALL day especially Formula Drift events where I’m hooting, hollering, “Sending It” and wrapping it up this is MY kind of product… So believe me I will be giving this a test drive at the 1st round of Formula Drift if not sooner!!!!
Thanks Entertainers Secret, feedback post usage/post event!
To buy CLICK HERE

Last but definitely NOT least, THIS IS THE LAST Picture my Canon SD790IS will be taking and of course it’s of its predecessor the newest Canon PowerShot SD1400IS, shoots 14.1 Megapixel and HD Video!

There’s a brand spanking new drift website that’s capturing the drifting scene from the street level to the starting grid at the professional level, it’s called 1K Drift, it actually means 1,000 drifters of Facebook but I’m sure it’ll branch out farther than Facebook, maybe even twitter, MySpace or even digressing back to Friendster or even analog means such as “message pigeons”…

I was stoked to be the 1st ever interview on the website and I even gave Corey the owner of the site the name Sitting Shotgun for interviews… Thanks Corey and good luck with the site, see you at HyperFest!

CHECK OUT MY INTERVIEW HERE…..
