PHOENIX UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT x HONOREE DINNER AND AWARDS
February 20th, 2010 | By All Day
What a night I had on Friday. I was invited to attend the Phoenix Union High School District’s Honoree Dinner and Awards at the Wyndham Hotel in Downtown Phoenix (“I’m at the “W”, but I can meet you in the lobby” — Drake). Furthermore, this dinner and awards night was amazing! There was a live band outside playing and cheerleaders setting up the mood at the entrance of the hotel, courtesy of Carl Hayden Community High School. Upon entering the reserved room, North High School’s Orchestra was playing beautiful classy music. Meanwhile at this time, there was a cocktail party and a live viewing of items going up for auction which high school students had created, such as paintings, sculptures, photographs, cakes, etc. I actually did bid on a couple of things, a fantastic painting of Obama, King, and Chavez and a strawberry cake; unfortunately, I did not win either. The food at this place was amazing! We had a three course meal, with the main dish being shrimp and chicken with smashed potatoes and vegetables.
Art Hamilton gave a speech, within his speech he said something that caught my attention, “the cost of education is high, but the cost of ignorance is even higher.” I find this to be fairly true and I am glad he brought it up. My favorite part of the presentational awards was when Mr. Wayne and Mrs. Maureen Doran were called up to the podium. (As most of you might recall, Mr. and Mrs. Doran play an enormous roll in my life, I see them as close family members. They also assist funding my academics at Arizona State University, the Doran Community Scholarship Program. God bless them both, they are amazing and generous people.) The Dorans where presented with the 2010 Friends of Phoenix Union Honoree Award. Mr. Doran gave a fantastic speech where he summed up “building a foundation for student’s success.”
Once again, I am extremely thankful I was given the opportunity to attend this event, but most importantly, congratulations to Art Hamilton for being an inductee of the 2010 Alumni Hall of Fame and Wayne and Maureen Doran for being announced the 2010’s Friends of Phoenix Union Honoree Award. Both parties have without a doubt played a huge role and impacted the lives of many students with all dedication for education and contributions.
GOODBYE OLD PC x HELLO BRAND NEW PC
February 18th, 2010 | By All Day
So let me tell you.. this past Monday, my computer completely died on me! Yeah, died! As in I was browsing the Internet, when all of a sudden my computer simply shut down on me and never turned back on!? I attempted unplugging it and plugging it back in a new power outlet, but now luck. Raidz came over to diagnosed my computer to determine what was wrong with it. He informed me my power supply had gone bad, hence, I would be needing a new power supply or purchase a new pc. Hmmm.. keep old pc, or get a new one…. NEW ONE! Besides, my old pc was like 5 years old already. Anyhow, we left to Fry’s Electronics and bought me an HP. Ah, its the best thing ever! Windows 7, dual processor, 640 GB Hard Drive, 4 GB RAm.. i love it. Raidz said he was going to attempt to transfer all my previous information from my old pc onto the one. I really hope he is successful while doing so, I have a couple of beats and songs on there which I was working on. Either way, I will definitely be working on some new music.
WORKOUT x YMCA DOWNTOWN PHOENIX
February 16th, 2010 | By All Day
Ah man, what a workout today! As I have been mentioning every so often, a couple of friends and I have been attending the YMCA in downtown Phoenix fairly frequently. We have been hitting up the gym strong since December. Today I ran 40 minutes on the track field located on top of the roof of the building; had me sweating like crazy! Anyways, let me inform you, your boy A_D has been putting in work. In December I was weighing at 226 lbs! ..and today when I weighted myself, I came in at 209.5 lbs! Wow, what a difference, I am definitely proud! My goal is to reach down to 185ish to 190ish. I will keep you up to date.

THEY ARE FINALLY BACK
January 30th, 2010 | By All Day
Excited to state, my family is back in town once again! For those who do not know, my family moved to Mexico about seven months ago because they were in a struggle financially. However, now after such a long time, they are finally back and are speaking of staying here in Arizona once again. Wow, I am super excited! I had missed them soooooooo much! Here are a couple of photos I took Friday with one of my brothers, John. I did not go out, rather I decided to stay home and spend time with them. P/S That is my pet Snuggles in the other photo (cannot have real animals in the apartments I live in).
The Area Drift Club
January 29th, 2010 | By Raidz
Today has been a great day so far, has not it? If you day is feeling a little blue, throw on some Muevete from the Music section. The night will be even better, why you may ask.
Simply because of a special event going on at Firebird Raceway in Chandler, Arizona this evening, Drift & Drag. Best bet is to arrive early due to rush-hour traffic, but the event starts at 6:00 PM and lasts until midnight.
The AREA will also be there in full force, only a few of us will be drifting though. I brought my camera so we can record some videos and post them up later on.
I will be there in a silver S13 coupe, so if you see me come holla at me. If you have a helmet, i will give you a ride along (just ask)!
Do not know where Firebird Raceway is? Do not fret! Raidz has you covered.
You will take the I10 south (Coming from Phoenix), and take exit 162 Wildhorse Pass, make a right, then the next left.
It will not be in the main entrance, there is a side entrance if you are going to be drifting. To spectate it will set you back $10. To drift $40, to drag is $30. To both, drag & drift it will be $50.
AREA REPRESENT!
WAYLAND EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP
January 28th, 2010 | By All Day
What fantastic news I received in the mail today! Last academic semester I was hunting the Internet for possible scholarships and/or grants to assist in funding my higher education at Arizona State University. After a couple of months and having applied for numerous scholarships, I finally received a letter in the mail from the Wayland Educational Foundation Scholarship! Great news! I am the recipient of their scholarship!

JOSE BENAVIDEZ JR x BOXING x PHOENIX ARIZONA
January 27th, 2010 | By All Day
Jose Benavidez Jr is the next big thing in boxing! Mark my word! Better yet, he is coming straight out of Phoenix, Arizona! He recently turned Pro., working along with his father and recently Freddy Roach (Manny Pacquiao’s trainer) as his trainers. A couple of weekends ago, Jose Benavidez Jr gained his first professional victory at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas verse Stephen Cox. Cannot wait to see his next fight! Much respect and huge blessing toward his future in the boxing world!
