Time to head out to Branson for a sweet vacation

I have across the U.S. a few times in the last 10 years, and each time my favorite way to come back east was to go through Missouri. I loved to see Springfield, its rich history and importance to the United States still to this day fascinates me.If you ever come east from California, I highly suggest you take Highway 44, its a beautiful ride. When you cross into Missouri from Okalhoma it seems like coming to a new world. Trees, and mountains abound.

The one place I most wish to visit on my next trip through Missouri is Branson. My biggest reason is to see a Victory Campaign with the Copeland Ministries. I have wished to go for the last 5 years running. However that is not the only reason I wish to get to Missouri and take some time vacationing there, there are so many more things to see and do from fishing and boating to shopping and shows, Branson has it all. I want to spend a few days at Lake Taneycomo and check out the Riverboat. One of my favorite stories has always been Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. I also want to visit Silver Dollar City with my kids, they love amusement parks and roller coasters.

I really want to make reservations at the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing. The rooms look amazing and I am sure that a vacation spent at the Hilton Promenade will be one my family will remember for many years to come. Right now they are running some great package deals such as the Hilton Visa Summer Savings which gives you an additional 25% off the best room rates when you book and pay for your stay with a visa card. I would love to stay at the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel as well because they have beautiful kind sized rooms that have a balcony. The list of amenities at both of these hotels are amazing, from audio and visual equipment rental and a business center to fitness areas for swimming, and even fishing. My boys would love to spend an entire month hanging out on their lakes just fishing.

Vintage Tour Jackets Blog

Imagine you are back in 1978 at the Rolling Stones Some Girls Tour, you are having a total blast. The food is great, the people are great, and of course the music is awesome. You probably tripped around the stadium and even tried to get back stage, we all did that right? If you were lucky enough to have gotten close to the back stage area you may remember seeing the roadies in their Rolling Stones tour jackets. Well, I have been introduced to a blog that has photographs of some of the best in Rock and Roll from the Classic rock years, as well as television show jackets and alot of great history and chit chat. The blog Vintage Tour Jackets is owned by a guy named Dave who used to live in San Jose and is now located in LA. He does Press Photography the lucky dude. Check his blog out but make sure you have lots of time because he has some awesome stuff there to read and see.

And in the spirit of the jacket being mentioned, here is a vid of the Stones al la 1978 Some Girls Tour ~

Considering a Pay Day Loan?

Payday Loans are they useful, are they good for us to try? I have heard alot of stories on both sides of the issue but the bottom line is when you come up short and have a financial emergency a pay day loan is going to save the day for many people. Most places offer online applications so if you are thinking about doing this you wont have to leave your house to apply, that is good. Find a service that is nationwide so that you know they have a good business going, and are not some fly by night company. And at least with pay day loans there is no credit check to go through, that is really good when you need that cash asap!

Hello friends
I know I have been absent again from class, sorry. I am just now finishing my work ( early for me, its only 7:50 pm!) and I knew I had to come here and lay down some stuff so I could relax.

Last night as I was writing it dawned on me that my boredom could be relieved with some music – and so I went to my favorite MP3 player ever… my Zune. I went to the website and looked for some music I had not heard in a while, or something new and found… The Crystal Method.

OMG… great stuff.

Here is Trip Like I do, I am in love.
