I have been laying low for a bit and focusing on school so i can really enjoy having fun so in 2 weeks i am taking a weekend roadtrip to the grand canyon for some fabulous photos to take and a stop in las vegas to visit some fam.Yes Vegas does have houses and not everyone is a card dealer or showgirl.

Then in April another mini trip to santa barbara to see Jenny and Johnny at soho. Then in June florence and the machine in Berkely . I  am just every where now a days .

Which kind of leads me to this posting i now work  45 mins away thats 45 mins or so in traffic so i need to update my ipod and need suggestions. Any thing goes here i mean i listen to EVERYTHING ida maria to black veils brides. since i have been running like a rabbit i have been out of the music scene for a bit so any new band even if they are from your hometown let me know .Also let me know what you want  me to do here on Buzznet  my photos are mainly on Myspace.com/houmenna yes i still use myspace so i can also reupload if need be.

So sleep on this and let me know about music and this page

So lately i have been on a book craze i buy at least 3 everytime i walk into a book store now i have set up my list and I am going to start reading them. I wasnt able to sleep one night i stumpled upon jane austen's book club it got me thinking og starting my oen . it seems easier to me to read when i have others to discuss the book with like in school i believe that was the only time i actually finished a book so now i am determined. I am fgoing to try to read a book every 3 weeks . Would you like to join me down the rabbit hole i swear i will make it easy everyone on their own pace if the books isnt your thing recommend another. i will write journals where we can all discuss and leave comments. The first book of May is The Interpretation of Dreams By Sigmund Freud

 i know it looks intimedating but if you read 40 pages a day we will be down in 16days with an extra 5days. just leaveme commment and let me know if you are wanting or willing to join hope to see your thoughts

Haven’t updated in quite a while just busy trying to get by in these hard times so working whenever I can.So this is a  review since I haven’t really been doing too much.

            So on August 19^th Vero and I drove all the way to Fresno for Warped Tour we got there about 1130am but went to the mall because it was way too hot omg it was 107 we are use to the hottest being  90 degrees. I love their mall we are planning a shopping trip when it cools down lol. We arrived at the venue maybe 1230 or 1 we got there right when Aiden was playing we tried to rush in but barely missed them. I finally got my Skate 4 Cancer shirt. I love the work Rob Dyder is doing it’s a cause close to my heart . the heat was just too much we escaped to the savemart center theater which had air conditioning we saw frank from the gallows in there which was surprising since a lot the bands weren’t walking around freely like the SF stop because it was just too hot!!! The first band we were able to see was InThis Moment I told vero she would love them and she did the lasttime I saw them was for Ozzfest yes a long time ago the had a small corwd and but they didn’t care they said if we give it our all they would too. They ended coming to the crowd to play well some ran a circle pit around Vero was in Ahh.  I had totally forgot it was Vero first warped so we made a pack to leave after blacktide which was only and hr and half before the end since Tyson from SKSK wasn’t even there so I didnt mind missing their set. Black Tide was great even though they had a small crowd they gave it their all and I’m glad Vero is now a fan and it not just because Steven Spencer looks like Jacob lol All n all im glad we went  love driving to shows its like a mini roadtrip. I wanted to go to Shoreline the next day but work wanted me at 10am so I didn’t want to drive all the way out to get there for like the last 2 bands.

             After  warped my work schedule totally changed they want me to go in at nights which is so weird to wait around all day so I haven’t been going to shows . I was really bummed  that no one got back to me about going to Papa Roach which was yesterday  have been waiting forever to se them live I was like might as well go into work until Monday afternoon I look at my phone to see and email from a unknown address saying my Papa Roach tickets have been waiting for me at the local radio station and the office closed in like 4 hrs so needless to say I first jumped up and down called work said I couldn’t go in my boss is so cool!! Ran down got tickets and invited Rose to go  We got there late like always missed saving abel but didn’t care I was there for P Roach !! All of a sudden I see the Papa Roach banner in the back OMG its still daylight I was upset they played so early and no one was into their set but me and a few faithful fans beside me Since it was daylight I had to only use my camera very selective since they deemed it a professional style whatever. P Roach gave their all they played all my favorites and closed with of course Last Resort which everyone started to get with the groove of it lol.

So Hinder came on the Nickelback it seemed everyone there was for nickelback they knew every word me and Rose felt so weird lol I wanted to leave after P roach but decided to stay since tix were free. Nickelback brought the lead singer from Hinder and Jacoby back on stage and sang Highway to Hell by AC/DC. I liked how nickelback talked to the crowd and such it did at times feel like a jam session I liked that fact. We left before the encore and got right outside when nickelback came back on stage we looked at each other laughed and walked to the car and beat all the traffic. So no big shows planned yet  maybe  Trivium later this month. I am going to be going to Gardening ,Not Architecture’s sows that are part of the EIY tour I believe 2 shows for sure still thinkng about the Stockton and SF show

If you are in the Bay Area them come out

7/15 Red Devil Lounge SF

7/16 Plea for Peace        Stockton

7/17 Mojo Lounge          Fremont

7/19 Gallery AD              San Jose

Okay so I should be going to bed big day tomorrow The last warped tour i will be going to. No not for the rest of my last of this year i wanted to do the last three dates but work wont allow :( so i have to drive 3 hrs to Fresno tomorrow not mountain view because i requested wrong dayoff  i know but on the other hand i am going at least twice this year so should be good enough  one date in the beginning and now one towards the end. Also its going to be Vero's FIRST warped tour so thats exciting!!!!! Althought i am having a hell of a time getting a photopass so dont think the Canon will be tagging along maybe just the olympus i really dont want the fuss for warped SF how do u build a portfolio without the opportunity right ARRGHH!!! so irritating  So  me and vero might have a video or two up by the end this week warped related

,So Here is the the Warped Tour Journal Lol recovering from sunburn so couldnt really do this yesterday. I was on the fence about going the person who i planned on going with backed outt hey rather skate instead bummer  finally found someone on THURSDAY to go and that was Sookie yeah it was her first Warped Tour so i was glad i could be there with her. We left around 9 got int he citry at 10 but parked really far like a mile or so away which was okay becasue we didnt have to wait in line . We first went to the infamous Blow up chart and the only person Sookie wanted to see was bigD and 3oh!3 so we had soo much time to kill i wanted to see Escape The Fate and Aiden but saw that the blackout was on schedule not sure if it was the right band. We got to ETF late so not too many  good pics of them

 then i thought might as well check out Brokencyde big mistake the Security at wapred SF were jerks one taps me  not really but grabs my shoulder pointing at my camera saying so u have a photopass WTF the chick in front has  the same camera but wearing acorset and gets a way and they threaten to not only kick me out  but take my "film" yea like we are in the 80's he said he'll be watching  me and thats whats going to happend if he sees again whatever. So i was really bummed and Pissed at the same time. Warped tour time was going so slow i wasnted to really leave but promised Sookie will see her band  then i saw it was time for aiden WOW great performance saved Warped for me Sookie kept saying these people are pushing i said push back she never been in a mosh pit or wall of death theres a first for everything right! i didnt want to bring out my camera cause i didnt want to get kicked out so i used a PS for aiden .

O quick story some girls saw that people were taking pics with nick cause he came out a lil ealry to watch the band before them they kept saying "Angel Angel can we get a pic too" i tried so hard not to laugha s say get them right   they finally got a pic with him i think he might have said thats not my name but i cant be too sure but i was funny. After Aiden was The Blackout i was still not sure if it was the band i was thinking of until i saw Sean OMG fangirl moment there was like no one at there set but the guys still gave their all. That what i like about them it doesnt matter if it 10,000 people or just 10 they still give it their best. So i was like u know i see a alot of people here with DSLR without the passes So if im geting kicked out at least its for The Blackout i got some great shots

 i  met sean after and told him i have been waiting 2 years to see them live(they are from the UK) he said thanks i asked if theya re doing whole tour he said no theya re going back to do festivals but to check out the band who will be replaceing them love hime hes so nice.

After that i set to go but 3oh!3 still hadnt coem on so we waited then i saw blacktide sksk all played at same time i was so bummed but hey im going again so not too bummed saw 3oh!3 or rather heard them then it was time to go home . Warped this year was filled little snipets of moments and not like years before when it took a wj=hole week to talke about  it with your friend but hey maybe it me getting older giving warped another chance in August see you there!

Are there any Music tours your dying to see
other then Warped tour?

So it's been like a week since I have been back from Vegas .Vegas was really fun not CRAZY just fun lol. I visited Rose and my niece Wednesday the second day I was there. The first day we had a champagne brunch which they kept filling my glass every time I set it down which fun had the party started by 11am Little to everyone's knowledge but that was my first time ever drinking champagne and I do like. Then we went straight to the casinos I was over it after the first 2 hrs so I decided to skip out and go watch the hangover which was hilarious and got me  more than ever into the Vegas mood. I headed back to casino and played a lil more we got back to our hotel at like 3 am and I wanted a grilled cheese sandwich lol. O yea we stayed at The Excalibur.

So the second day was driving to north Vegas to see Rose and baby we kidnapped Rose and had dinner at the Cannery which is a pin up themed local casino loved it but not the food. Drove Rose back home came back to just get continuously carded one after the other ,but what can you do when u look 12. we headed back to our hotel to stay in casino til 6 am I went to bed they stayed playing til noon I cant gamble that much. The last night there Rose and  walked the strip did some shopping got a cute new piggy bank shaped like and ice cream cone and a martini shaker.

 I fell in love with a purse and necklace at the Betsey Johnson store but the sale associate was rude and ignored me right when I was at the counterL so I tld everyone there must be another Betsey store and stormed out that was the only time the associate took notice of me eww. We walked about and came back at 3 ish and again at 4am I wanted a grilled cheese so I called room service and they were quick and nice. The next day we back dove Rose home and headed to one last casino before our flight out. Luckily I didn't have to work til this pass Monday so I slept thurs -fri and on Friday I went to see Year One if you read the bible or have knowledge you will think its hilarious or you might be like poor Max and be lost and think its stupid. So this week is work standard and boring Sacramento tomorrow and Warped Tour on Saturday I wasn't really going to go but decided to why not do not know what to wear but at my age it and this being my hundredth warped I don't really care.O well .Need to sleep roadtrip up north with my Brother should be interesting hopefully he'll sleep the WHOLE way.

What Bands are you excited to see at this years Warped Tour?
