Everyone who has read this blog for awhile knows that I am a huge Jordin Sparks fan. I started blogging because of Jordin and have found some other interesting things to blog about but she was the first one. Some of you just shake your heads and wander off when I start writing about her. I’m sorry. But I have to do it !
I feel compelled to do it. We all have our dreams. One of mine is to have Jordin and her family over for dinner sometime when she is in the Virginia Beach area. Beth just shakes her head at that one.
Some people dream about being millionaires. Some dream about being major league baseball players. And some just dream. Well this is my dream and I have seen enough of them come true to realize that anything is possible.
And seen enough to also have an unconventional dream or two. My wife dreams about swimming with dolphins. It always pays to know what your wife dreams about and share her dreams. Then when you see the opportunity make them happen.
But right now we are focused on seeing that Jordin wins an award at the upcoming BET Awards Ceremony later this month.
You can vote for her as many times as you like and you can vote here
I hope you like. . . . . .
I had a post in April about Jordin and her concert tour. Her grandmother wrote me a nice comment at the bottom of that one.
Earlier this week I had a nice comment from Jordin’s mother on my MySpace page.
I think that one of these days I am going to hear from Jordin herself! Don’t you think? Maybe if enough of you go to the MySpace page and vote/comment she will respond to ALL of US. Her mother keeps track of what I am doing on MySpace (and I can’t say I blame her).
So vote and vote often and let’s see this charming young lady receive an award.
I listen to her CD in my car and it really is very good.
Thank you for reading this far and I hope that sometime you will share you dreams with someone. What do you dream about doing? It really is nothing to be embarrassed about or repressed about in any way. Sharing a dream is a good step towards making it happen.
It has been raining again today. But yesterday was perfect with the sun and the breeze so I can’t complain. I have spent nearly all day in front of this computer trying to become a more organized blogger. Most of what has happended during this time has been utterly forgettable and frustrating so we won’t go into it. Blogging is like a baseball game. But when you hit the ball and run around the bases you find it necessary to stop five or six times. Or so it seems to me. But the photos are still here when I return. And here is one that slipped by the first time. As i went through them again a few minutes ago a bell went off. It is like panning for gold. What is that shiny speck there? Ah. It is something beautiful.
I couldn’t just let the weekend go by without trying to take some more baseball photos. There was a doubleheader today at the U of R so I wandered over there. And since they were watering the grass when I arrived I headed down to the lake and watched the seagulls practice their flight lessons. They were really flying around and it was good practice trying to shoot them as they bothered the ducks and generally acted like seagulls act when they are away from the beach.
Sort of like me when I go to Performancing.com or some other forum that is inhabited by Super Geeks and other folks who actually understand what is going on in the Wild World Web.
So here are some photos and a slide show. Once again I must remind my two paid readers that you click on the title to enlarge the photos and click on the slide show for a full screen event. I hope it is worth the effort.
Blue Herons do not have domestic relationships similar to the other birds we see. While they will remain monogamous during a breeding season the male will go off with someone new at other times. Perhaps this is why we see them foraging alone during our trips to the U or the Ginter Botanical Gardens while the ducks and geese move about in pairs.
