Alex's Hair

Lately, I have been involved with a facial hair growing competition during this month. I know I may not have the manliest beard but I did it anyway. I did clean it up a bit during the month. It was surprising to learn that this competiton was more psychological than anything. Lets just say that many soccer moms gave me the stink-eye during this month.

The pics are pretty big so prepare yourself if you click them.

Brace Face

I was just thinking about the time I yelled to Leslie to go get the scissors so I could cut Matthew's braces out of the carpet. Anyone remember that???

Locks of Love

About a month ago (maybe a bit more), I donated 10 inches of my hair.

For those do who do not know, Locks of Love makes wigs for children with Cancer from donated hair. From thier website: Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.

Just within our family, Zandy and Laura (I think) have donated to Locks of Love. This was my second donation of hair. I wanted to share the pictures of the actual haircut. They are fun.

Obviously, the pictures are in reverse order. Enjoy!

Update and Website is up!

Went to Nola and saw Harry Potter with Alex and Liz at midnight, and the freaks were out!



I went to Tennessee for a week with some friends, then to Destin with Lizzie and the parents..

Business is well, I have been working with some brides this month, and I start working at a Bridal shop in Gonzales where I will be the on-staff wedding consultant. Also, with lots of help from Alex, I have a website up and running!

London Town

Hello from the UK! All is well here. The city is thriving with history, and good times. There is always something going on and it never ceases to amaze me. Last night I went to a concert in the oldest venue I have ever seen a concert. Calvin Harris played in the Somerset House, which was the first business district in London. It was built in the 17oo's. Anyway, I hope all is well mates!

Cheers,
Colin

Don't stop till you get enough

Over the July 4th weekend I went to the City of Angels for the first time to visit a friend. Had a great time but it was just another reminder that Chicago is the best city eva! As soon as I landed we headed straight to Six Flags Magic Mountain.....Pretty much the highlight of my trip. I swear for my honeymoon I am just going to take a road trip to all the theme parks in the US. There was this ride there called Tatsu where you are locked in like you are flying. You are just hanging there with all your weight against a harness thing on your chest and there is nothing between you and the ground (or the sun when you are making a loop) You can see what its like by clicking the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_eKfNi2T24.


This is Casey and I on the Terminator...

Then we did some site-seeing around the city and on Hollywood Blvd....

BUT FOR THE REAL REASON THAT I WENT TO LOS ANGELES....

TO PAY MY RESPECTS TO THE KING OF POP. RIP Michael Jackson 1958- 2009

Barbara Ann!

This is very shocking to me! Recently I realized that the Beach Boys song it actually "Barbara Ann". My whole life I was singing "Bop, bop, bop, bop bop bor ram. Bop Bor Raaam. Oh take my Hannnnd". Apparently, I'm not alone... Leslie thought it was "baba lamb" and my mother thought it was "bomb or ram"....Were we the only ones making up our own lyrics??
