Posting for the People...

As the official unofficial blog of the people, I wanted to post about everything...

Let's Start in Houston

[This could be the feel good story of the year]....and by feel good I mean what the heck is happening! In Houston, a man was pulled over after a high speed chase and then shot after he did not obey officers request to put his hands in a visible position...he decided to dig under his seat (bad move)...The man was Roland Carnaby. You might not know Carnaby well because nobody knows who he is! Carnaby claimed he was in the CIA but then the CIA denied his existence in their branch. If this isn't made into a movie in the next year or so then I will lose all hope in Hollywood. This has everything, lies, death, the CIA and a shooting. This could be the weirdest story of the year...Oh, Carnaby's family had no idea about what he did for a living. Talk about a guy who could keep a secret!

[This guy was stoned!] This took place in Sugar Land after a park worker was hit in the head by a stone when a group of high schoolers were out there to celebrate Senior Day. Haha I would have paid anything to see the guy get in the head and then all the students act like nothing happened. Oh, the guy called the cops and wasted the people's money because they did not find who threw the stone. Gotta love it that this was in a major newspaper's website. Man hit with stone, Cops could not find the kid, man is a cry baby.

Now some news from around the Nation

[The University of Texas just produces Rookies of the Year]...That's right Kevin Durant was named the NBA Rookie of the Year...The Vince Young of basketball (without the national championship)...Durant will be one of the guys I tell my kids about when I get older. "I had a chance to cover Kevin Durant and watch him play in college."...What a great kid. If you are keeping count, thats two rookie of the year awards in the last two years that have come from UT. Vince and Kevin.

[Kanye West, Lupe, Pharrell, N.E.R.D and Rihanna]...I will be going to the Glow in The Dark Tour on Friday night at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion and I can't wait! This is going to be huge for one big reason! Child Rebel Soldier will be in the house together! CRS is the new super group formed by Kanye, Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell Williams. I'm hoping to hear some new CRS stuff or at least their hit song Us Placers. I'll give you the full report on Monday.

CD REVIEW

Just picked up the new Augustana CD Can't Love, Can't Hurt! I'm a big fan of Augustana and their first album All The Stars and Boulevards so I was really excited to hear their big sophomore album. At first when I listened I thought the album was just okay but it grows on you! I've had the CD on replay for a few days now. I thought the band did a great job of showing how flexible they are with their sound by doing a really slow song (Fire and Dust) to a radio hit song (Sweet and low) to a great follow up to Boston with the song (Twenty Years). This is a great CD so pick it up...here are some of the highlights from it



Fire


Twenty Years
