Kelly Swarmed By Paparazzi

So even though she's been out of the spotlight for a while now since she's been over seas touring, when she returned home to the US and went out with some friends to eat, Kelly Clarkson kinda got swarmed by a paparazzi swarm that Britney Spears is used to. Kelly, lookin a bit tipsy, didn't seem to mind.












This is a report that TMZ did of the "giggle-fest" that is Kelly and her friends.


And click here for the actual uncut 42 second video that really shows the swarm of paps well, and Kelly's tipsyness, it's awesomely entertaining.

I'm Quickly Becoming A Morning Person; We Have A Bethel Speaker This Week

So i get up between 5:45 AM and 6:00 AM Monday-Friday now, and doing that has me getting up way earlier than I'm used to in the mornings on the weekends. Like this morning I got up shortly after 7:00 AM, wide awake. I love it too! I like the mornings now! Anyway I'm gettin ready for the meeting. Today we have a Bethel speaker so it's gonna be an extra long meeting, but I'm sure a good one (as usual).

Fun Times At The Mall... Again; I Fell of the Fitness Ban Wagon :-(

So on Wednesday I went to eat at Applebee's and had an awesome time, then I went to the mall and walked around a bit, and after that I saw "What Happens In Vegas" with Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz... it is a HILARIOUS movie! It's so friggin' awesome :-) Oh yeah and here are some pics of the day...

... Here I am in the middle of the mall sitting in a very comfy chair...


... and here I am getting a hair cut from Adam Sandler...


... as you can see I had a good time. Now to the bad news... in my last post I talked about how good I'm doing with my workouts, well in the last 2 weeks I have been a total of 2 times to the gym... now don't panic TOO much because also twice in the same time I did my hardcore cardio training program that I do at home that kills me every time, but it's my punishment for not going to the gym. Now I'm considering switching gyms because my job has a membership deal with another fitness center that gas a nice pool but smaller actual fitness center. I could walk straight from work to the gym too, so we shall see, I LOVE my gym now with an awesome view of the water and all the high tech stuff so it would be really hard to leave all that. I will keep you updated. See ya!

Hi! Work Rocks!

Woohoo! I'm not gonna talk too much about work but so far so good! I love the people I work with and I love what I do! This is truly a great company. In other Mic news, the weather has been so awesome! I mean I'm lovin' that I have a convertible cuz' you bet I'm driving with the top down all the time! Oh and (random comment), at 6:00 AM today, I was friggin' hyper! I was bouncing off the walls, it was funny lol. Oh and last night my mom saved a baby bunny from our cat, as seen in the picture below...

Annnnddddd this past weekend I went to the movies (see post below) and I was updating live but at like 7:30PM after the secong movie I tried to post and I had a huge update and it messed up and deleted it... so I got mad and gave up. I just talked about how "Baby Mama" was good and that we were shopping and all that stuff lol. Anyway, while at the Annapolis Mall I went out on the upper parking area where they are doing major construction and BOOM! I got attacked by the Sun... see...

... It was awesome :-P And lastly the gym is really paying off cuz' my body is morphing... slowly, very very slowly, back to where it belongs, this is my latest update picture...

... so yeah I have made progress, but I CAN'T fall off the fitness ban wagon now that its almost summer! I need to stay motivated! Anywho, that's all for now, talk atcha latta!

My Sunday

1:45 PM
Ok, so I'm gonna be out today and I have decided that I'm gonna do some LIVE updating all through out the day. I slept in til' 7:15am and then got up and watched the news and Disney until like 10:30am then I ate breakfast, which consisted of ham, pancakes and scrambled eggs and cheese. I did some chores and took a shower and headed out to the movies with my grandmother and mom. Of course when we drove here we took the convertible cuz the weather is so awesome! Crossing the Bay Bridge was beautiful, even though i do it often. Now we are at the movies and we are seeing "Made of Honor". I'm sitting in the auditorium all alone cuz the women are going to the bathroom and getting our movie treats. The movie starts in about a half an hour. AFter this we are headed over to the mall to see "Baby Mama". OK well I will update you after I see "Made of Hanor" and letcha know how it is :-)

4:25PM
Ok so "Made of Honor" was pretty good. 3 out of 5 stars. Now i'm at the mall waiting to see "Baby Mama" at 5:10 PM. We are still waiting outside the theatre waiting for the cleaning crew to get out of there. I might play with some of the displays here as I wait.

OK So I'm A Day Late... Oh Well :-P

Wow, I have been sooo busy! I haven't had time to post for awhile. Actually I wouldn't be posting right now if it wasn't for my cell phone. Anyway last Monday-Friday I was at work from 7am-330pm. After work I either head to the gym or head home to study for the meeting and then of course go to the meeting. By the time I'm done all my stuff I'm EXHAUSTED! Anyway I promise I will update often still. Just this week has been hectic with trying to balance everything now that I have a new job. Anyway I'm gonna go now cuz I'm now enjoying my convertible! :-D

Bigger-ish Post Coming Tomorrow

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I have a new job and have been very busy after every day of work, but I promise tomorrow I will update you. I'm headed to bed now.

David Cook Has My Vote!

So it has taken a while... but finally I have settled on an American Idol contestant that I believe should win. It's David Cook. He is AWESOME! He can sing anything and sound out of this world awesome while doing it. GO DAVID COOK!

Big Announcement

I got a job! And not just any job, a GREAT job! People know that I usually don't settle for things, and this certainly was no exception. It's exactly what I was looking for, and a company that I really wanted to work for. I start work on Monday at Paul Reed Smith Guitars (PRS). I'm so excited!

Potentially BIG Announcement By The End Of The Week

OK, so by the end of the week there just may be a very big, important announcement made by me. It MIGHT happen. I should know something for sure by Thursday, keep checkin' back for more!

Might Add Another Column To Blog

So I'm really thinking that I want to add another column to the left of my blog. Probably keep the layout and colors and all the same, just add another side column so that I can put more cool stuff there... or not. We shall see.

She's 115!

The woman you are looking at is 115 years old! She turned 115 today. She was born April 20, 1893... 1893!!! That's insane! And get this, she has five grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and 13 great-great grandchildren!!!! Isn't that crazzzzy!?! It's a glimpse as to what we can expect in the new system, of course minus the looking like we are getting old part!

Woohoo! Warm Weather Is Finally Here!

Yup yup yup, warm weather has arrived and its here to stay! It was in the 80's today! So of course as I was running around town I had the top down on the 'Stang for the first time this year, it has been awesome! I'm typing this as I sit here in the K-Mart parking lot with the top down under the gorgeous early evening sky. OMG everything about the weather is perfect! I love it.

Video Explaining Intruder Incident Last Night

OMG! We Just Had An Intruder!

Ok so i will tell you everything tomorrow, but we had someone in our yard that was chased off by our dog. The cops showed up and everything. They had spotlights and all. I will have all the details tomorrow and some video as well. I have a feeling I won't be sleeping tonight... atleast not well.

No Gym For Me Today :-(

So I have decided to not go to the gym today because of my stomach. It sucks cause now I'm gonna feel all loose and fat lol. I'm so used to hitting the gym every Monday, Wednesday and Friday that it feels strange not going, and of course this happens right when I'm hitting my ideal weight and size! I'm back down to a comfy size 30 waist, yay! I can even fit into my size 14/16 kids bathing suit I got in 2005. Now I have to watch what I eat to make sure that I stay that way while I take off from the gym, hopefully just for today.

I Hate Stomach Pain

So I am typing this to you while I'm here in my bathroom... like you wanted to know that :-P. Anyway, last night I ate a big plate of spaghetti and afterwards my stomach started hurting really bad. It had hurt like this a few months ago and I got it looked at then and nothing showed up and after months of the pain it just went away. That was January. Now that we are in the middle of April, it has come back and the pain gets so bad that I have to bend over, but I don't know why cause just like in January, that doesn't help any. I guess it's just a natural reflex. Anyway, i want the pain to go away. Going to the bathroom, drinking milk, bending over, standing straight up, laying down, taking Mylanta, Tums... non of it works to ease the intense piercing pain I feel around and just to the right of my belly button. Anyway. I just felt like venting about it.

Dang, When Did Country Music Become So... Choreographed and Scantily Clothed!?

A performance on last nights CMT Awards. It's LeAnn Rimes, and man is it hot! She not only sings great live, but does a choreographed dance and she and her fellow dancers are dressed in sexy, 40's/50's style women's jail clothing, WAY above the knee. Now remember, this is country music! Gotta love the way it's going, lol.

Waitin' For My Ride Outside The Gym

So here I am waiting on the steps of my gym after my workout. My mom dropped me off on her way to Centreville and was suppossed to be back by 3:00 PM...well that has come and gone and almost a half an hour later she still isn't here... wait nevermind she just pulled up and now im in the car lol.

New Feature Added To MicVachon.com

I am adding the label/tag feature to my blog. You all know what that is, it's like organizing my blog, you click on the certain label and you will see all the posts that pertain to that subject. For example, if I post a story about weather, I will have a weather label at the bottom of that post. Then you can click on the "Weather" label and it will take you to every post that I labeled "Weather", including that one you just had read. Pretty cool huh? I will slowly be adding labels/tags (same thing) to all my posts starting from this month and going backwards in time.

UPDATE: As of 04/16/08 all posts from August 2007 up to now are labeled. I will keep adding labels to the rest of the posts in the near future.

Potentially Big Development In Job Search Coming Later This Week

Ok so not gonna say much, but there may be a BIG announcement as far as a job for me coming later this week. Let's wait and see. The news may come as soon as Wednesday, or as late as Friday. Stay tuned!

4/11/08 11:00 AM UPDATE: Nevermind, lol.

Hilarious!

Crazy Talent

So if I could get my hands on a piece of a celebrity, it would for sure be the one and only Leona Lewis. She has broken countless records across the world and she has finally arrived here in the USA. Now Leona actually has been hot elsewhere since 2006, but the American market is so hard to break into, so it took 2 years to arrive here, and I say "FINALLY"! She is so friggin amazing. I know for sure that her single "Bleeding Love", which is being played like crazy on American radio, will break some sort of record here in the US, just as it has worldwide. Take a look at this chart on the success of "Bleeding Love"(click pic to make larger)...
...the single has gone to No.1 in every charted country, and then No.1 WORLDWIDE. That's insane! Now sometimes an artists can have one big hit and then thats all, becoming a "one hit wonder", but I have heard other songs that are to come from Leona, and I assure you she will be around as long as the world as we know it is. Leona and her music will be HUGE.

9:45 PM UPDATE: It has just been reported that Leona Lewis will soon be signed to a contract valued at fifty million pounds sterling - or one hundred million dollars! The contract, if signed, will instantly make Lewis the highest-paid female artist on earth... EVER! Like I said, she's gonna be a legend and the record execs know it.

Sorry!

Yeah so I've gone a little while since I updated. Why? Cause there is absolutely nothing to talk about except I'm still looking for a job that I feel matches me well. So that's it. Oh and I've been hitting the gym Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, and occasionally the weekend so that I tone up for the summer... atleast that's the plan. And of course today I banged my knee really bad, so I'm limping right now, hopefully I can still get to the gym tomorrow. I would update more, but there just isn't anything really to talk about right now. Hopefully once I get a job and money to do stuff I will update a whole lot more!

"Lean On Me"... Starring Me and Me!

So my twin and I have decided to come out with a music video... so we did "Lean On Me". Enjoy below!

We Are Watching You!

Lol, yup I have a twin. And we are both staring at you right now? Creeped out?

Awesome Weather Photo's, Video

Ok so on Saturday March 8 was an awesome weather day. We had some wind, awesome clouds, some fog and rain. It all came together to give a show, and I got some pics and vids! Take a look!

These were taking one of our local bridges. The sky seems to touch the water.

And this picture was taken at my community beach. It was a giant wall of fog/clouds/heavy rain. It started far away and we noticed it was actually coming towards us. You can watch it in the video make it way to us.

Here's The Video!

Job

So recently I have been trying to find a good job, but the past couple weeks I was put off course temporarily. Now I'm back on and searching harder than ever. I know I have a lot to offer a place of work, but I just don't want any job... I want one that I can be proud of working for, and happy. I'm not going to settle.

OMG! I'M FURIOUS!

NO!!!
Danny. Noriega. Voted. Off. American. Idol.... A DISGRACE! I'm so furious right now. In shock, and ticked! American Idol will be nothing but a friggin bore from here on out. I'm seriously considering boycotting the show for the first time in 7 seasons. No he wasn't a fav of mine right off the bat... but he grew on me with his attitude and confidence. Sucks!
:-(

My "American Idol" Picks

Ok so "American Idol" is crazy awesome this year! The talent is unbelievable. But if I had to narrow it down to two guys and two girls, this is how I'd do it taking in the last two weeks that the Top 24 have been on stage live.

THE GUYS

1
David Archuleta ROCKS! He's mad talented and has an awesome stage presence. He has a very unique sounding voice that will blow you away. He's easily number 1 for me this week.









2

David Hernandez is a natural singer. His voice is pure and strong. It could easily be molded into anything producers wanted it to be. He's good enough to be number 2 on my list as things go this week.

THE GIRLS

1

Ramiele Malubay is an itsy bitsy powerhouse! She reminds me of Christina Aguilera. Very petite, but extremely powerful. Ramiele has a squeeky mouse talking voice, but superstar singing voice. And she's cute. Total package.

2

Wow. Carly Smithson can sing! She almost made it to #1 for me this week in the girls, but Ramiele's power just barely edged her out. I have a feeling that Carly and Ramiele will be at the top of my picks every week, probably taking turns at the top.

Same Music, Different Song

Ok so this is kinda like what I did last year with Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend". See, last year Avril's original version of her song was pitted against a Lil' Mama remix which friggin rocked! Well the same thing has kinda happened again... sorta. See, the music to one song has been allowed to be used on two songs. So we have two songs that have been released to the music world by two completely different artists using the same music. Crazy huh? Take a listen below and judge for yourself which one you like better. BTW, this is only to promote each song. If you like it go and download it!
Please allow atleast 10 seconds for the songs to load. If you can see the controls its ready, if you see the Quicktime logo it's still loading.

Ice, Ice Baby! (And Some Snow)

Wow, it's been a winter wonderland of sorts this past week! On Thursday, February 14 we had some ice in the form of freezing rain, then this past Wednesday the 20th we had a quick, heavy snow as seen below, and yesterday, Friday the 22nd we had more ice from freezing rain! Take a look at some of the pics from around my yard.

Brief But Heavy Snow Yesterday

Yesterday it snowed pretty hard from like 1PM til 630PM. Here are some pics I took as were out and about. Notice how bad the visibility was. This was our heaviest snow this year (sadly), totaling a little over 3".

The next 2 pictures show what it looked like headed to the Bay Bridge from Annapolis.

Ok and the next 3 are on the Bridge. Look at how bad the visibility is! Can't even see over the water!

Outside restaraunt that we ate at, and I had to get a plastic bag to wipe off the snow that had piled up in the short period of time.

On our way to get chinese food for the rest of the family. Main roads are getting snow covered.

Salt drunk/snow plow... WORK FASTER!

This is where we get our chinese food.

And we are on our way home at night with the main roads (Route 50/301) completely snow covered.

I'm Calling It!

Ok so I have avoided this subject for a while, but OMG I have to go there today! The subject is Britney Spears. I know I know, lol. But I think I'm seeing something no one else is. They are all so focused on Britney improving, and returning to her old pre-crazy self, that I think they aren't looking at all the right places... such as HER STOMACH! Look at this photo taken last night and focus on her stomach...

... doesn't she look like she's PREGNANT!? (thanks x17online.com for the picture) I believe people will start noticing and it definitely will become a big deal. Maybe she's just gaining weight? Doubtful. It looks like a baby bump. I hope not. If I'm right, I will update the subject, hopefully I'm wrong though.

We Just Had A Hail Storm!

We just friggin had a hail storm... IN FEBRUARY! Hail is NOT sleet. Sleet falls when its cold, like in winter like storms. Hail is what happens in severe storms, strong cold fronts or tornadoes. Today it was a strong cold front. At around 4:30 PM it started hailing and i ran and got my camera, and got some great shots! Here's the video!

Been Busy... Rest Today

So for the past few days I've been pretty busy, but today I think I'm just gonna take it easy.Watch some TV, listen to music and eat lots of food. If everything goes right, next week will be pretty jam packed too. I'm gonna really amp up my job search, I really want a job! I'm not just going to settle though... I'm going to get the job I want. Also next week I'm also gonna be at the gym a lot. I've been working on my summer body and I am gonna pick up the pace starting this coming week.

Update To The Post Below

Soooo.... i spoke too soon. Our power is out for good. Like I said, the winds did indeed pick up quite a bit and wow... it is intense. As i type this on my phone the winds are shaking the windows of my house violently. Its really loud. I bet we have gusts in the 60 MPH range. The power is out on the entire island so i dont think its gonna be back on anytime soon. And of course all that cold air is here now that the front has passed over us causing the outage! I will update ya later. Hopefully I will find a way to stay sane. I will have video of the wind when the power comes back on.

UPDATE:
Ok so the power came back on! Woot Woot! It came on at around 6:20 PM. A good 2 hours after it went out. The wind is still blowing so hopefully we won't have another outtage.

What A Contrast!

Wow! Look at the "Feels Like Temps" outside this hour! What a difference in location. It feels like it below zero in western Maryland and it feels like the 40's and 50's in eastern Maryland and Virginia. Why the stark contrast? Well this is why...
... it's a strong arctic front plowing through the area and it's not only bringing cold temperatures and wind chills, but also howling wings of 50+ MPH. It's already taken out our power today, fortunately not for too long. Those frigid windchills will be here at my house in a few hours when the front passes over with the crazy winds peaking out this evening here.

A Fun Night

Tray came down from Massachussetts for about a week and this is a really quick look at one night.

NEW YORK GIANTS vs NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

I'm routing for the Giants tonight. I'm loving the commercials. Although I keep forgetting that I wanna watch the commercials so I keep on getting up and then remembering the commercials so I run back to watch them really quick lol. Yay for TiVo!

New "Mic's Top 10" Gets My Thumbs Up!

WOOHOO! I have finally decided to resurrect "Mic's Top 10 Monthly Songs". I previously ended the monthly countdown of my top songs for that respective month after August 2007 due to the fact that it just got overwhelmingly difficult to keep up with my top songs for that month, however that all ends THIS MONTH! January 2008 will bring a new light to "Mic's Top 10 Monthly Songs", with songs #1-#10 will be recorded with 100% accuracy again. YIPPEEEEE!!! One thing that will not return will be play counts, that way at the end of the year you can't tally everything and figure out my biggest hit of that year until you listen to my yearly countdown! Lol. So look for my new monthly music chart again at the end of every month!

Hair Cut; Back To The Gym

So I finally got a haircut... whatcha think!?



Also with all my new found freedom i've finally been able to get back to the gym, YAY. Hopefully now I'm gonna get my beach bod back!

Snow... Last Week, And This Week

Ok so last Thursday the 17th we had a quik shot of really heavy snow. It added up to about 2.5" - 3", not much but it came down hard and fast. Here are the pics. And just a FYI, exactly one week later, this past Thursday the 24th, it snowed again, but not as much.

OMG! I'm Pulling My Hair Out!!!!

Ok so not literally but still. I have SOOOO much time on my hands... I HATE IT! It's driving me crazy. Especially when all my friends have class and jobs. It sucks. I mean really blows. I feel like I've been dropped on an island isolated and no one to hang out with and only occasionally talk too via text messaging lol. Anyway, I can't wait til I get a job. I have a really strong desire to work at a particular place, but i'm not gonna talk about it til something happens with it... if it does.

New Blog Lay Out and Header

Ok so i changed the layout and the header. Everything is smaller and neater now. You can barely see the pics in the header, but thats ok, lol.

Header; Crazy Music

Ok so I'm still working on my blog header. It needs to be re sized and realigned and I'm still workin on it. So just ignore the ugliness for now.

Music has been pretty scarce for me. I've had the same songs in my "Current Favs" playlist for the last about 2 months, until recently when I started getting
tired of them and have been slowly removing them. Well I finally have a
surge of new music and I'm LOVING it! They are awesome songs by new
artists and artists you know very well.

Video Update 1-21-08

The Header

Hey guys i'm still trying to fix my header for the blog... it may take a few days but it will get done :-)
