I waited in line 4 hours just to see Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton in Orlando on 10/20/2008.
Although I was far away and couldn’t see the stars of the show, I’m happy that I was amongst the 40,000 DIVERSE supports who attended.
Anonymous father and son at the rally (I wish I knew who they were so I could send them this photo). Looking at the boy’s eyes, I’m sure that being there that day has touched and affected him in some way. Are we looking into the innocent eyes of a future president? We’ll see (at least we know now that it’s possible).
In my heart of hearts, I believe that Obama is the candidate who can bring this country together. Weather we sink down into another great depression, or if we rise above the abysmal failures of the Republican party, we’d at least be united under Obama.

My new 50mm lens arrived yesterday and it’s going to be a great tool for creating something special in the future. I already got to play around with it (supposed to be used for portraits) on:

My sister and I went out to support the gay Orlando community at this year’s parade on Lake Eola. Of course, I came out too late to see the actual parade, but I did get to see the colorful and happy people at the park. It was a day of acceptance, tolerance, and enlightenment on issues like gay rights (which is a HOT topic for this year’s election) as well as violence against gay people across America. As usual, there were some people who weren’t happy about the event, but I had a great time.

Finally, one of my FAVORITE rappers alive came to Orlando this week. Common along with N.E.R.D. and Chester French graced the stage of the Hard Rock Live on October 9th and ROCKED IT! I got there early so I was RIGHT up under the stage. I saw every bead of sweat that dropped off of Common’s face. I gazed in amazement as Common took each breath of air and exhaled perfectly executed lyrics. I even witnessed in amazement (and a little confusion) as Common went so HARD that his nose bled. Yes, his nose bled and he STILL kept on going.
Of course, Common performed numbers from his upcoming collab with Pharell (Universal Mind Control is awesome), but he sprinkled a few gems from past albums like “Be”, “Testify”, “Go”, and one of my all time fav’s…”I Used to Love Her”. He break danced for us, he freestyled, AND he brought some audience members on stage.

I attended The Spa’s Happy Hour in Downtown Orlando. It’s tucked away on a colorful strip of shops on Orange ave near Princeton. For only $35.00, we had a choice between a long list of treatments including cupping and reflexology, Mac makeup application, henna tattoos, and even the new…fish pedicure.

My continued love affair with food has now spilled over into this blog. Spice Modern Steakhouse is a GREAT restaurant in Orlando. A few friends and I went to the Downtown location on Lake Eola over the weekend and it was DELICIOUS!
- Embiance: A+__It was a very modern spot…quiet, and well-lit. Great spot for a date or even a night out with friends. The back porch is open to Lake Eola wich is VERY beautiful in the day OR night.
- Service: A __Very attentive wait staff
- Menu: Great selection of items…many different types of food
- Appetizers: DELICIOUS!
- Drinks: Depends on your taste…my drinks were STRONG (how I like em’) VERY potent.
- Prices: Expensive. (But well worth it)
