One year ago today, Hurricane Katrina showed us the power of mother nature.

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a year since the beast touched down on the gulf coast. Seems like just yesterday I remember the anticipation, the sorrow and the non-stop coverage of the hysteria our poor country had to endure.

I’m not much of a journalist, seems like whatever I type wouldn’t be of much consolation anyhow. Hell, with as many typo’s as I write on a day-to-day basis, I’d probably screw something up attempting to be sincere.

Here’s to the many that lost their lives, the many more that lost their loved ones and a prayer that we never have to witness something like this again.

I’ll be back tomorrow.

Yahoo! Music and MasterCard

Now this sounds like an impressive deal. Apparently Yahoo! Music is doubling your year subscription when you pay for one on your MasterCard. Pricess move, aye?

Chasen, I know you’re up on the Y! music thing, maybe this works for you.

Yahoo! Music welcomes a new friend to the fold today, and this one brought gifts.

Together with MasterCard, we have taken the already inexpensive Yahoo! Music Unlimited product to a new, ridiculous low price. If you haven’t yet subscribed, this is the offer you’ve been holding out for.

From now until October 4, if you purchase an annual subscription to Yahoo! Music Unlimited with your MasterCard, you will get a second year free. For our PC service, this works out to be $2.50 a month for 2 years. To put it into context, here are a few other things in your life that likely cost about $2.50 a month:

• the extra gas you use for keeping your golf clubs in the trunk
• the accumulated cost of coffee you have spilled over the month
• depreciation expense of your favorite jeans
• operational costs of the feng shui fountain you bought at Target

So put the golf clubs in the garage and pass the savings on to music. If you are a Visa regular, pull out the dormant Mastercard for this special offer. For the price of 2.5 downloads a month, you can have unlimited access to our catalogue of approximately 2 million songs. This offer is available for Yahoo! Music Unlimited To-Go as well, which saves you $120.

You can go here to buy your 2 year subscription.

Interesting thought. Not sure why I havn’t really gotten around to figuring out Y! Music yet, probably because I’m too lazy to read the terms and figure out how I’ll end up breaking them without knowing about it. Maybe this is a good reason to try it out. Personally iTunes and AllTunes have been my best friends the past few months.

Yea. Nuff said.

Can’t believe I could only manage to post one lame entry last week. Wow. Well, on a better note, we launched 2 sites at work last week. Got some great new goodies for the office and got a hell of a lot done. Teamed with a busy week, I got my check from my insurance when my car was broken into. Looks like I’ll be coordinating to get a radio back and my bumper fixed soon.

Last week was craaaazy ’round here. This one might be just as insane, but at least I’m still enjoying it.

Here are a few shots from a wedding I did with Jenny @ redloft over the weekend. Crazy times but still a heck of a good way to spend a saturday night, watching the sunset over a beautiful California coast on the cliff at Laguna.

And of couse, my first attempt with a lensebaby. I need one of these.

Some more shots at the Red Loft Blog, as alwasy stunning and wonderful.

Ohh, and i got a new cell phone, finally.. now I can actually talk for more then 10 minutes a day! So call me and say what up, if I don’t pickup it’s probably because i won’t recognigze the ringer. *chuckle* more to come.

Officials: Man Says Penis Pump Is a Bomb

Now here’s a story you don’t hear every day, a man lies at an airport about his penis pump claiming it’s a bomb so his mom won’t find out. Seriously, come-on. IMO this dude needs to go to jail for stupidity and get off the street already.

CHICAGO (AP) — Cook County prosecutors say a 29-year-old man traveling with his mother desperately didn’t want her to know he’d packed a sexual aid for their trip to Turkey.

So he told security it was a bomb, officials said.

Madin Azad Amin, 29, of Skokie, was stopped Aug. 16 after guards found an object in his baggage that resembled a grenade, prosecutors said.

When officers asked him to identify it, Amin said it was a bomb, said Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Lorraine Scaduto.

He later told officials he’d lied about the item because his mother was nearby and he didn’t want her to hear that it was part of a penis pump, Scaduto said.

…

Amin is charged with felony disorderly conduct, which could bring a three-year prison sentence if he’s convicted. Amin is due back in court Sept. 13

So besides yesterday being a Lazy Sunday, Saturday was another story. Has a great time shooting a traditional Vietnamese wedding with Andrea in Orange and Santa Ana. The bride was gorgeous and the wedding party was 4-people strong, nice and easy to work with!
