Aero's Rundown - 03.31.2010

Welcome to the 03.31 Aero's Rundown!! The Rundown starts now...

No. 10. The Rundown is back!! It's been forEVer since I've posted a Rundown, but I'm back in full stride now! I'll be able to let you guys know what happening with me and around me! If you don't understand the Rundown, feel free to read some of my older posts...

No. 9: HCR signed into law - Obama finally got the Health Care Reform signed into law after so much time fighting to get it passed!! I know there are some people that don't agree with it. In my opinion, most of the time the people against the actual health-care part are those who have always had healthcare and never had a problem getting it. It's those people who don't want to "share the wealth. That is not exactly always the case, but that's what I've seen personally. If you want to read the bill, I think it would be a great thing for you to do. It'll help us all understand exactly what the law is and how is beneficial for millions of people.

No. 8: The TWIN is on Twitter!!! I know this isn't really news anymore, but I haven't written a Rundown since he joined so I thought it would be appropriate to mention it here (if it wasn't so long ago, it would definitely be higher in the Rundown). If you're on Twitter, follow him -- @PAWnoramic -- and get that truth and hilarity that the rest of the tworld gets daily!

No. 7: I've been talkin major noise to Shontelle on Twitter about MarioKart for the Wii; apparently, she thinks she can beat me or something. We'll see when the time comes, but I'm pretty sure it won't even be a competition -- and if she beats me...well...I'll be devastated... :( *mad scientist laughter*

No. 6: I got a new tv and entertainment center for my oh-so-empty apartment this past weekend!! It's a 27" Samsung HD flat screen tv and I have some amazing speakers that can take the paint off the wall!!! Take a look... :)

(yeah that's Steph on the screen)

No. 5: Speaking of Steph (*wink*), he is featured as the leading man in Shontelle's video for her latest single - "Impossible". He warned us early on to remember that he's just acting and not to believe that he's really as big of a jerk as he appears to be in the video. Love that dude! Check out the video...

No. 4: Baylor beat Duke to advance to the NCAAW Final Four, which means they'll be facing UCONN next!! UCONN has won't 76 consecutive games...*whew*. Forget that, though. I have been talkin major noise to Brittney Griner (through the TV) about my cousin Dee...lol!! Griner is a 6'8" FRESHMAN at Baylor and has been slappin' shots and dunkin' on people all year...*sigh*. I still don't think she can take Dee, though! LOL!! Check out this video of Griner... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qALAUf9PHJY

AND NOW (in my best home-team-announcer voice)....THE TOP THREE!!!! Duhn-diggity duhn-duhn duuuuhn....

No. 3: Jordin (Ms. Sparks if ya....well...that doesn't fit her so nevermind) is going on tour and I'm going to see her in LA on May 22!!! I'm UBER crunk about it because I haven't seen her perform live in a couple of years!! What better reason could I have to go on vacation? ;-) You better get your tickets now before they're gone - https://tickets.sparkstown.com/

No. 2: My dude Steph was on Great Day Houston on Friday, March 26!! I'm so happy to see him progressing and working so hard to achieve his dreams... Check out his soundcheck for Lois Lane (I love this song!!) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i504s0FtzuM

And No. 1: Today - Wednesday, March 31, 2010 - is the official launch of my website AllThingsAero and I'm so excited because I'll finally be able to keep people updated with what's going on with me, share my photos, get contact info and so much more!! The site is in its early stages right now, but will eventually be a one-stop shop for all things Aero (hence the name)! Why don't you jump on over there now and check it out?! PLEASE send me your contact info if I don't have it (or even if I do); it'll come directly to my phone and that way I have absolutely no reason to be out of touch (and neither do you). Love you guys....talk to you soon!

This concludes the 03.31 Aero's Rundown!! I hope you enjoyed it! Be ready for the next one...

Aero's Rundown - Behind the Scenes of Little Drummer Boy Sp. Ed. - 12.20.2009

Welcome to the Little Drummer Boy Aero's Rundown!! The Rundown starts now...

There's been a quite a bit of "fuss" goin on about Steph's new song that was recently dropped - the remake of the Little Drummer Boy (listen to it in the last Rundown). Honestly, the song is just amazing! I love the dude's voice!!! There's more great news though...Steph is making a video for it and provided a sneak peak of what's to come in the behind-the-scenes video below. I talked to Steph the day after the video shoot, and he was ecstatic! He said, "whatever you're thinkin about, forget it. This will be unlike anything anybody can think of. The director is taking it even farther than I thought". My only response was, "Wow! If it's even beyond what you were thinking, it has to be absolutely phenomenal!" He was describing one of his favorite scenes to me and telling me how he excited he was about what the world would see in a couple of weeks. Steph has become a great friend to me and I must say, when he says you won't be disappointed, you can believe just that. Take a look...

BONUS: The A Capella version of the Little Drummer Boy has also been posted! Steph knows that I've been waiting for this one too and I was so glad when he posted it! Check it out...

For more information about Steph and more music by him:

Aero's Rundown - Steph Jones is a "Little Drummer Boy" Sp. Ed. - 12.03.2009

Welcome to the Little Drummer Boy Special Edition Aero's Rundown!! The Rundown starts now...

If you're following me on Twitter, then you should definitely know of this guy named Steph Jones. Some of my friends didn't understand at first why I was so diligent about supporting his music and his sound, but they know that this is an artist with a SOUL. His music doesn't come from an empty place; it's not about selling records or having the hottest record for right now; it's not about moving into some fictional spotlight and allowing other people to define him. His music is about spreading the message of love and joy to every soul that experiences it. It's less about the right now and more about longevity.

In talking with Steph on several occasions, I've learned one very important thing about him. No matter how you look at it, no matter how you try to portray things, no matter where you come from, where you've been or where you're going, there is one thing that is always true - your soul never lies. Dude is the realest person you could ever meet and to be honest, it's almost saddening that there aren't more real people like him. He's not the superficial guy that needs to change who he is to become what he's not. He's a true genius in his own right and to be honest, I respect that about him more than anything. From the melodic creations to the rhythmic variations to the minute instrumentation in some of his music, it's very easy to say one this is for sure: there's a soul in Steph's music and he put it there intentionally...

On October 12, Steph released his lifetape entitled Gravity to the world, and because he knows that the "soul of the music is being sucked out of earth", he gave it away (not even joking)....it's FREE! Go get it now!! Just to give you a little hint of what you're missing out on, I will just say that if you don't have it yet or if you have it and haven't listened to it yet, you just peel your face right off right now (again....not even joking)! It's movements like these that are inspirational to the world and if we all just put a little into supporting Steph and his movement, we could make such a drastic, positive effect on the world...

NOW....the real reason for this Aero's Rundown!

Steph had previously mentioned that he might do a Christmas mixtape, but being the person that he is, he would never rush it and put out something that was less than the best by his standards so he decided no to do so. However, his loyalty and love for his frands makes him go above and beyond always. He decided that he would remake a Christmas classic - The Little Drummer Boy. Let me just tell you....since I got this track I've been listening to it nonstop. Check it out below...

(artwork by bombsteez)

Now that you've heard the song, just let me have a quick word with the musically minded. Here's what is so addictive about the song. For those of you who really know me well, it can very easily be said that my most real passion in life is MUSIC! Coming from a very musical background on both sides of my family, I've learned that MUSIC is the one thing that tears down barriers. No matter what race, country, or planet you're from, everyone has a bond with music. Rhythm dominates our lives daily even when we're not paying attention. I have spent hours on end every day for the past 20-something years of my life listening to some form of music or observing some rhythm - whether it's the 1.5 second count from yellow to red on a traffic light or the rain dripping off my parents' home in MS. I've gotten to the point now where I can hear every part of this song without hearing the synthesized percussion and orchestral accompaniment at all and Steph's voice is absolutely phenomenal! This list is in no particular order...

1. The rhythm created vocally from beginning to end; the percussion and accompaniment definitely enhances the song, but pay close attention to the little intricacies he creates with his voice.

2. The slight deviation of rhythm in the first verse - "coooome they tooold me" became "cooome they told me-eee" and I'm certain that honestly it's just the genius that is Steph Jones

3. The newly created chorus of the song with a dominating chant of "left, right, left" along with the sweet high vocals chanting the same lines and echoing only to be enhanced by the addicting statement "I am the little drummer boy"

4. The first verse has a little piece of gold at the end of it; do you know what it is? Can you find it? Let's just say that the additional line (5-line instead of 4-line stanza) is a precious little gold nugget planted in the song that doesn't happen anywhere else...

5. Does he really say "ehh-ahh" after the "pa rum pum pum puumm"...if you don't know why that's amazingly hot, you are officially not human!

6. Shall I play for you (echo: you, you, you) on my druumm? <-- 'nuff said

7. As if all the aforementioned things aren't enough, he raps and said himself that he speaking"directly to God" and it just touches my heart...I just...I can't even...*speechless*

8. Those 17 or 18 little "tings" of a triangle at the very end of the song...priceless - not to mention the sleigh bells throughout the song

9. Put all that stuff together with the accompaniment and you have the perfect Steph Jones track!!

Needless to say, I'm in love with this song, and I hope the rest of the world loves it as much as I do. I'm a connoisseur of great music and this has definitely satisfied my hunger, thirst, and complete appetite. All I have left to say is a HUGE thank you to Steph...you're nothing less than amazing bro!

Aero's Rundown - Womanizer Special Edition - 07.28.2009

Welcome to the WOMANIZER Aero's Rundown!! The Rundown starts now...

As most of you who know, BMax (@shug24) is my number 1 pal!! I loove that guy! Honestly, he just tickles me...lol. He's the kinda guy that has a great sense of humor and is a real prankster! He is accidentally funny too (to me anyway). He works with me @inContact and he's what I like to call a true friend. Well the purpose of this Rundown isn't to talk about Sir Maximus (that's BMax) - per se. I'm writing this blog because of one of his random, and quite hilarious, moments! This would have been in the last Rundown, but I decided to surprise Sir Maximus and do a special edition Rundown for it!! There are really no words to express how crazy he is...just watch the video! BMax is the very first guy you see in the video with the cap on backwards...enjoy! :-)

What more can I say? Gotta love BMax and his "randomosity"!

This concludes the Womanizer Rundown!! I hope you enjoyed it! Be ready for the next one...

Aero's Rundown - Steph Jones Special Edition - 07.21.2009

Welcome to the 0721 Steph Jones Special Edition Rundown! The Rundown starts now...

This Rundown is dedicated to the musical genius that is Steph Jones (@stephjonesmusic) - the guy shown on the left...lol...for those of you who didn't get that. I know most of you only know him as the guy I tweet so much on Twitter, but he's a singer/songwriter/model and is very swiftly on his way to the top! He's what R&B should be!! His music is more geared toward a positive message. He is known to his frands (term coined by Steph that is friends and fans put together) simply as Steph Jones AKA Mr. Ordinary AKA The MO City Alien!! You will absolutely love the guy if you don't already!! His music is amazing and his message is even better! His music has REAL content and his voice is smooth and pleasant like the soulful, sweet sounds of Stevie Wonder! His name, Mr. Ordinary, is truly suited for him. He's a regular guy who is appreciative of the support from his frands and no matter what anyone thinks of him, he will ALWAYS be himself! It's kinda sad that there aren't more people out there like him or has the same mentality. I'm a non-conformist and I love the fact that someone who is in a more public spotlight is also. He's accepting of people's differences and has absolutely no fear of being himself. I always say just be yourself because no one else is suited to do it. I asked Steph if he would like to say anything to his frands in this Rundown. Here's his message to his current and future frands...as a matter of fact, I would say this is his message to the world:

What a great message... You all know that music is my passion! It's the greatest thing ever! No matter who you are, where you are, or what you're going through, there is some music in this world that touches you. No person in the world can say they don't care for any music. We don't all like the same things, but we do all like something. I love Steph's music and his message to the world! You should all go and check out some of his music on his myspace page (Melody To Snap To is my jam!!!).

Steph Jones is also the most unique and random person ever!! LOL!! The guy just has an all-around great vibe, and you can't help but be entertained. I think that's what makes his frands so comfortable with who he is...he's so genuine. I'm just as random, and I love it! Check out this conversation between him and me:

How great is that converstion?! No one makes me more comfortable with my randomness than Steph...LOL!!! Gotta love him! Look people...we really need to get behind Steph and support some positive music!! He will serve a great purpose in the music industry once we put him at the top where he belongs!! Please stop by his website to get to know Steph's story. I'm not gonna lie...I love the guy already! Anyone who has such a wonderful music gift is very special to me! I wish you the absolute best, Steph!!

That concludes the 0721 Steph Jones Special Edition Rundown!! I hope you enjoyed it! Be ready for the next one...

Aero's Rundown - 07.21.2009

Welcome to the 0721 Aero's Rundown. The Rundown starts now...

No. 12: The "Washing You Away" Special Edition Rundown was posted and I will be updating the video/song to include more vocals and the next one won't be so rough...lol

No. 11: I HAVE A STICKAM ACCOUNT!!! YAAAAAYYY!! Stickam is a live video streaming site and I joined so the people of the U-to-the-tah could see me when I go live!! Yeah! Everyone should check that ish out at http://www.stickam.com/aerisforrest. It's actually pretty fun! I'm gonna sit and chat, sing, and do the other random things I do (maybe even dance a little...haha)...

No. 10: @AMILLI_SHEDIDDY said "#justcause I have a job doesn't mean I have money" and I retweeted her. Then outta nowhere @moneycharmer decided she would do me a favor and retweet me I guess with the intention of letting me know that she could help us make some...(*buzzer*)...wrong answer! Talk about running right by us and punching the lady in the face...lol...get outta here lady!

No. 9: I don't know if you guys know this or not, but I'm a little silly. I have a been a prankster and I've been a little violent to say the least. I have some anger management issues sometimes, but I almost wet myself laughing at this... http://bit.ly/Q7Mk7

No. 8: A member of my church passed away and I didn't even know it until Sunday (the day of the funeral). I haven't been to a funeral in a while because the last one I went to (my aunt) was very hard for me since I was so close to her. So I got there and kept my eyes on the floor for the most part and I sat in the very back. My mom was in the choir stand and I made the mistake of trying to look at her when I saw the casket. It was a pearl white like my aunt's and a chill came over me. I knew I couldn't sit in there any longer so I got up and walked out. I was almost in tears by the time I got to the front entry and I basically ran to my truck in my heels just to shake the thoughts I was having. I felt so bad for leaving, but I just couldn't take it. All I could

think about was my aunt and I couldn't overcome the discomfort and overwhelming urge to weep. What would you have done? Was I wrong for walking out? *sigh*...

No. 7: On a lighter note... why the heck do people feel it’s necessary to tell me that my brother and/or dad are sexy or hot? I mean I'm not sexually attracted to them at all so what interest would I have in a conversation about how great they look. Really? (pause) Really? At some point, people should think before they tell me stuff like that. Then at church on Sunday, some lady was tellin my mom, and I'm like, "Look lady. I know you're older and I should be respectful but you need to back up. You can't have my daddy". And she was looking at my mom as if I was outta line...ugh...

No. 6: I found a stupid prank video. The concept is to see how people will react when they see a crowd of people running in the opposite direction that they're going in. I admit it sounds pretty stupid and cheesy, but actually seeing the video makes it much funnier. The first guy just keeps going and doesn't care. The second guy...well....just watch....LMBO!!! This is actually pretty funny http://bit.ly/qhpEf

No. 5: Phrase: "ran right by us and punched the lady in the face"; so here's the deal. A lot of people still don't get why I've been using that phrase. Yes I know it is a bit random and probably even annoying to some of you, but I love it anyway. To make a long story short (unless you wanna hear the long story), the phrase comes from a situation that happened not too long ago with someone I know. She has this aunt that is pretty much G-status, if you will. There was a little situation with her step-dad (well pretty much her real dad) and his "other woman" that my friend was trying to figure out. She was arguing with the man and ended up throwing a vase. Her aunt hear the vase break, and runs into the house. But wait...what is she doing?...where is she going? Oh my...she ran right by them, went into the back room of the house, and punch the "other woman" in the face. So that's where the phrase came from. When she was telling me about the situation, she used the phrase: "ran right by us and punched the lady in the face" and needless to say, I almost laughed myself into a coma because I couldn't breathe...LOL!! It's a rather funny story except for the fact that the situation sucks...

No. 4: T.I. has a new song out called "Remember Me" and let me tell you he is at the top of his game! I love the song and I love the message. He starts by saying, "Let me tell you how you measure a man. When his world starts to fall, see how tall he stands. It matters not how many times you fall down. What matters most is how many times you rise. Mistakes build character, and character takes you places money can't". Then Mary J. Blige comes in with her fantastic vocals saying, "Don't forget to remember me..." I love the song and video.

Check it out

T.I. |MTV Music

And now the top 3...(wiki wiki whaaat?!!?!!!!)....

No. 3: I don't know if you guys remember, but I went to the movies to see UP a couple of times and I flippin loved it!! Well I was in Starkville on Saturday visiting my cuzzo and the Queen of B's (@DeltaHeir21), and we had to go to Wal-Mart. Well who the heck did I see as we walked in?! Answer: The little old man from UP!!!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!! He was just like him! His little pants were too short and he had the same posture and hair and everything! I tried to get Queen B to take my picture with him but since she's a doodie-tootie head, she wouldn't do it! I guess once you're a diva, you can't have the same kinda fun that normal people have...*sigh. Anyway, I was gonna go take his picture and whaddya know? He was leaving to go on break and I would never see him again, so I basically chased him through Wally World to get his pic. LMBO!!! So here ya go...

(makes me think about him pullin his house...lol)

No. 2: It was my intention to talk about how sick I am about being thrown under the bus with stuff @ the workplace, but I've already digressed. Good thing I didn't write this Rundown when I started to do it...lol. Anyway, the number 2 spot goes to Beyonce's chilling performance. I love the emotion shown as Beyonce pays tribute to the King of Pop http://tinyurl.com/kwlt9z

And No. 1: I mean really, Jordin?! REALLY?! The album is out NOW!!! Go get one or two...or heck maybe even seven! It has some great content and Jordin's vocals are so much stronger which is why I loved her in the first place!! Tell me this isn't power and I'll run right by us and punch the lady in the face!!

Jordin on Good Morning America

This concludes the 0721 Aero's Rundown! I hope you enjoyed it! Please feel free to leave a comment, and be ready for the next one!

The US Open starts at the end of next month! It'll be featured in a Rundown as the time approaches. FYI - I'm actually going to attend!! Yay for me!!

I left out the fact that Shunda and I made a Kool-Aid run while we were waiting for everyone to show up for Byrd's baby shower in the last Rundown! LOL!! Of course that was after the fact that she tried to drink my wallet!! (Thanks for the wallet, BMax - @shug24)

Had dinner with a friend, Kacey, last week and she just happened to bring along someone that I wasn't expecting but it was all fun and I look forward to doing it again. Kacey wants to have some sort of weekly thing...

The Cougar (@ejrkids) is making sure to protect Mr. Maximus cuz that's just how awesome she is!! Gotta love her!! Truly one of the best FRIENDS (not aquaintance or associate) I've ever had!!!

Why the heck are we referring to Byrd as @MIA_BYRD on Twitter because she doesn't have a Twitter account?! LOL!!! It just tickles me...

Aero's Rundown - Washing You Away Special Edition - 07.15.2009

Welcome to the “Washing You Away” Aero’s Rundown! The Rundown starts now…

I was sitting here working and pondering some random thoughts and decided that I would finish this song that I’ve been writing. Instead, I pretty much started a whole new one. I’ve named it "Washing You Away" and it is still in the works. My bff, Shunda (@AMILLI_SHEDIDDY) is already promoting it on Twitter…LOL!! I posted a line from the song and Twitter and ultimately started a war between the King BMax (@shug24) and the Queen of B’s (@DeltaHeir21)!! I have been contributing to their little fuss just to keep it going because it’s so hilarious. Aparently, they both have dibs on being my number one fan! The sad thing is that I don’t even have an album…LOL!! Nonetheless, they’re threatening each other on Twitter and I’m just sitting back laughing about it! While they’ve been fighting, I’ve actually recorded a rough (very rough) preview of the song and created a little sample video. So without further adieu…

Lyrics:

The tears I’ve shed for you /are only for me to wash away our memories/ I’m starting something new so please forget all of the things we used to do/ Why don’t you understand?/ I’m movin on/ my life is getting better and/ While I dry my eyes; I’m off of the ground, preparing to fly

I am/ washing you away

My tears are of joy and not from the pain

I’m washing you away

I’m stronger now and I can sustain

Washing, washing, washing....you away....

Aero's Rundown - 07.06.2009

Welcome to the 0706 Aero’s Rundown! The Rundown starts now…

No. 10: I have a doctor’s appt on Thursday and normally I wouldn’t be excited but I am because my shoulder has been hurting so bad that if she wants to chop it off, I’ll sign the papers and get it done!

No. 9: I finally found the REAL love of my life!! I won’t give you too much info, but I have two words for you: Ebony and Ivory…nuff said! Cougars knows what I mean...

No. 8: Here’s what's jacked: Jordin Sparks was really angry today because her album was leaked. They have to give out promotional copies, but 10 times out of 10, the album will end up in the wrong hands and then comes download fever! Well she posted on Twitter today how angry she was, but she got over it pretty quickly…lol. I’m one for downloading music myself but I also buy real albums because I know people work really hard at their craft and I don’t want to take advantage of that…J

No. 7: What did I do for the 4^th of July? Well of course I hadn’t gotten anything for the baby shower so I got up early and went for that stuff. Then I rushed back home and got dressed for the shower. I got a call from my other bff (Nashunda) and no one was even there yet so I slowed my pace. We had tons of fun at the baby shower! I’m not really one for that kinda stuff but it was a perfect day to spend with my two besties Byrd and Shunda!! It was about 80 million degrees, but I had fun nonetheless – sorry I didn’t take any pix. Then I went to my family gatherings and saw tons of cousins, aunt, and uncles! It was fantastic. They all say I have a northern accent now…lol. But the day’s not done…I played tennis with The Queen (B that is) and jacked my shoulder more than it already was. I was teaching her and we played for about an hour until I just couldn’t take the pain anymore…

No. 6: Well crisis has struck again! Steve McNair, former quarterback for the Titans was murdered in TN on July 4. He was from Mount Olive, MS and was in the league for 13 seasons. Right now, it’s being ruled as a homicide by the girl that was found dead with him (his girlfriend) and the quarterback leaves behind his wife and four children. This is crazy! In the past couple of weeks, four very major influences and figures in the world have passed away. It’s so sad. I don’t like that this guy had a girlfriend and was a married man but he was a great athlete. Read the developing story – http://tinyurl.com/mo8fp3

No. 5: The Williams sisters won the women’s doubles final at Wimbledon!! This was their 9^th title there, and even though they’re ranked number three in the world in doubles, they swept the tourney and took yet another title! And on top of that…

No. 4: Wimbledon women’s final: Serena Williams vs. Venus Williams (for the fourth time); They both had their reasons to fight to the death for the title. Serena was fighting her third Wimbledon title and her first in 6 years. Venus was fighting for her 3^rd consecutive and to tie the 6-title record set by her idol Billie Jean King. They opened the match with some serious battling while the crowd was confused about for whom to cheer. Serena took the first set in the tiebreak and then won the second set as Venus struggled. The two had a 10-10 recording against each other and Serena broke the tie by winning her third Wimbledon title!

And now the top 3…(chanka chanka chanka)…

No. 3: Battlefield album by Jordin Sparks will be released July 21!! I’m so excited for it! I can’t wait to get it! I know you’ve been wondering why in the world I’ve been promoting it so much, but I became a member of the BattlefieldStreetTeam for promoting her album! It’s actually more fun than I thought it would be. I will be posting another blog strictly for promotional purposes for her album! Please go out and buy it! Show her some support!!

No. 2: Three words: BABY HITS MAN! Oh my gosh, this was the funniest thing that could ever happen in church! I’m sitting in church on Sunday just minding my business and singing along with the choir. There’s this little old man sitting over on the side that was asleep most of the service. I looked up and my mom was really tickled while she was singing in the choir. I noticed that she was laughing at my cousin’s baby who was playing with her teething ring. Then it happened! The baby was laughing really hard and waving the teething ring around and it flew out of her hand! There it is…flying across the church and I’m thinking, “No…it can’t…please don’t let it…omg it’s really going to…” Then *whop* it hits the little old man right in the face!! He woke up and wiped his hand across his face really fast and immediately went back to sleep. I laughed until my whole body hurt. I had to get up and leave because I was so tickled! Poor little man! I just couldn’t believe it actually hit him and my mom was bent over laughing…I don’t know if you can imagine but almost the whole church saw it and there was a mumble because everyone was laughing so hard…

And No. 1: My main man the Federer Express made it to the Wimbledon final! PLUS: my other brutha from anotha mutha, Andy Roddick, also made it there for his third Wimbledon final against the Fed man! The match was going on while I was at church watching that baby hit that man in the face, but my good buddy over at @MobileUnlocked kept me updated during the match. It was an epic battle for the Grand Slam trophy!! Federer finally won in the fifth set (16-14) and made history with his 15^th Grand Slam title!!! AND HERE’S A BONUS:: He’s number 1 in the world again!! Yay for the Maestro!! I love the guy, but my boi Roddick put up a heck of a fight and I was very proud of him as an American! I was pulling a little more for him since he’s American but I love the Fed man so I’m happy either way….

Well, you awesome tweeple out there – this concludes the 0706 Rundown. I hope you guys enjoyed it! Be ready for the next one!

Aero's Rundown - 06.10.2009

Welcome to the 0610 Aero’s Rundown!  The Rundown starts now…

No. 12: Chrysler is officially dead as we know it.  They’re now Chrysler Group LLP and are owned mostly (55%) by United Auto Worker (UAW)…too bad I didn’t get a new car before yesterday.  Dealerships have been dropping their new Chrysler prices like mad trying to get rid of them all…

No. 11: An 88-year-old gunman shot and killed a security guard today (June 10) at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.  I’m not quite sure of his motive, but he was labeled in the media as a “white supremacist”. Read the rest here - http://tinyurl.com/kkob4j

No. 10: I’m getting my corporate card from work!! Yay!!  I don’t really know why I’m so excited about it, but it just feels like a new level in my career and if you read my last blog, you know I feel a little stagnant… :)

No. 9: I went to the movies again to see Up and of course my best buddy BMax (@shug24) thought it was hilarious!  Besides the actual movie, the best part was that we left work early! “I was hiding under your porch because I love you…-Doug”…LOL!!!

No. 8: Lakers vs Magic in the NBA Finals – Lakers won game 2 in overtime 101-96.  Magic won game 3 108-104.  The series is now 2-1 Lakers and game 4 is tomorrow (June 11) at 8:30 EST.  Can’t wait!!!

No. 7: Bret Michaels was SLAMMED by a prop at the Tony Awards - http://tinyurl.com/nbqw8u …I’m typically not one to laugh when it’s something so serious, but I have to admit that the way he fell was pretty funny!

No. 6: Austiedocious (@aubrown2001) wore a bra and I wore a jock strap yesterday (June 9)…let’s just put it this way…we have very random conversations during lunch with the Cougar (@ejrkids)

No. 5: TSC was running to eat during our “team lunch/meeting”.  BMax and I thought it was terribly entertaining that they were all talkin about this lunch and then no one wanted to drive and was “outta gas”… I tell ya…some people

No. 4: Jordin Sparks (@TheRealJordin) has a new fanclub! I was so excited when she tweeted about it today!  I was looking at her tour dates and I’m pretty sure that I’m gonna get to one of her concerts…yay!! http://www.sparkstown.com/

And now the top 3…(*dunh-diggity-dunh dunh dunh*)

No. 3: Cristi was walkin today and saw a blue Jeep Liberty like mine.  She of course thought it was me so she got all excited and thought she had a ride…but hold up!...one second…she’s in GA and I’m in UT.  She said, “I was like hold on…I’m not in Utah…” LOL!!!  It was hilarious!!

No. 2: The countdown has already begun for when I’m leaving UT.  I have it on my board at work and now I think everybody that matters knows at this point… :-( …yeah right :-).  I’m ready to be with my family…

And No. 1: I was tweeted by T-Pain the very first time I tweeted him!  I started following him yesterday and he ended up tweeting me last night.  So he posted a thought of the night: “Thought of the night: if 2pacs kids get together and make a rap group they should call the group "SMALL PACS".  Well apparently people were getting upset because his next tweet was “Ok people it was a damn joke”.  So then I replied to him not thinking anything of it “@DaRealerstTPain Too many sensative ppl out there...ppl jus waitin to find somethin to hate about...”.  It was like 30 seconds later when he replied to me and said “@aeroDynamic10 xactly they the people that ruin the movies in the theater sayin shit like ‘DONT LOOK UNDER THE BED STUPID’”.  I’m pretty sure I laughed harder than I ever have…(oh by the way I was also excited that he tweeted me…lol)

Well, you awesome peeps out there – this concludes the 0610 Aero Rundown.  I hope you guys enjoyed it!  Be ready for the next one!

Aero's (semi-) Rundown - 06.07.2009

Welcome to the 0607 Aero's Semi-Rundown!  I'm doing this because some significant things have happened that can't wait for the next Rundown.  The Rundown starts now...

No. 3: I decided that I really don't care that those douche-troughs from my first turn-up can hate me all they want.  I know I didn't screw anything up and I know that some other people have also been thrown under the bus by them before (sorry http://twitter.com/ejrkids...I know how you feel).  It's really just ridiculous, but they can shove it!

No. 2: Some stupid man decides to run onto the court during the French Open final between Roger Federer and Robin Soderling - http://tinyurl.com/p2vocu.  It obviously had Federer on edge a little especially since Monica Seles was stabbed by a crazed fan on court in 1993 - http://tinyurl.com/lvb5f9.  I think it was cool how Soderling checked with Federer to make sure he was ok.  Federer lost the next point but went on to win the match...which leads to number 1...

And No. 1:  Roger Federer has won his 14th Grand Slam title to tie Pete Sampras's record!!  He is 27 years old and Sampras was 31 when he finally accomplished this feat - http://tinyurl.com/lfalz7.  Federer also has more years to play and will be playing in yet another Grand Slam in two weeks - Wimbledon!!  I'm so happy for him and I hope he continues to move forward and surpasses 14 Grand Slam titles!!! http://tinyurl.com/r65puv

This concludes the 0607 Aero's Semi-Rundown.  I hope you guys enjoyed it!  Be ready for the next one!

Aero's Rundown - 06.06.2009 - Part I

Welcome to the 0606 Aero Rundown - part 2! The Rundown starts now...

No. 12: Jay Z has a new song called DOA (http://tinyurl.com/oevxqt) and it’s HOTNESS! For all the haters, shut your mouth and respect the guy’s talent.  Every other artist does! Lil Wayne has a song called Kobe Bryant (http://tinyurl.com/oytld4) that is also very entertaining.  You can’t help but love Weezy…he is in a class of his own.

No. 11: Cristi had a going-away party at Club Allure.  It was all fun except for the fact that this ugly dude was there pissin me off.  It’s been a long time since I’ve hated someone this much but I don’t like the dude.  He just makes me sick and I have absolutely no respect for him! Anyway, Cristi finally left Tuesday (May 2) after another episode with that dude.  I wish her great success!

No. 10: BMax pretty much told Braden to shut his face when he interrupted a conversation between BMax and me; I almost fell outta my skin! BMax: Aero, you know Lebron is better than Jordan. Braden: Will you just leave it alone? BMax: I was talking to Aero. I can talk. Aero: Didn’t you say my name, BMax? BMax: Yeah, that’s what I thought.  Braden: …(speechless)…

No. 9: How the heck could Twilight win Best Movie when the Dark Knight was out there?…idiots…lol…it’s all because Twilight had the “hot” people but the Dark Knight was the better movie in my opinion… J

No. 8: Heath Ledger wins Best Villain @ MTV Movie Awards; the Joker is undeniable. Ledger played that role to perfection!!!

No. 7: Eminem was VERY violated at the MTV Movie Awards; it as really quite hilarious and he ended up leaving. Later, he eventually admitted to knowing about the stunt and confirms that he wasn’t really as upset and offended as he appeared to be http://tinyurl.com/pearhf

No. 6: Austiedocious was mad at me and even called me an ass (which I typically don’t take kindly to) because of some stupid conversation about basketball, but I still love ya Austiedocious; don’t let the petty stuff ruin our friendship.  After talking to my dad, I have learned to not even involve myself in conversations because no one really respects anyone’s opinions in conversations like that so I can just SILENTLY disagree and not frustrate myself with any of it.

No. 5: Rafael Nadal(1), Serena Williams(2), and Venus Williams(3) ousted at the French Open.  Svetlana Kuznetsova(7) beat Dinara Safina(1) in the final won and Federer(2) is playing Soderling(23) in the men’s final

No. 4: Federer has been playing his butt off to come back against Haas and Del Potro; if he wins the final, he will tie Pete Sampras’s record of 14 Grand Slam titles. That’s my boy!  I absolutely love the guy and I wish him the absolute best in the final

And now the top 3...(*screeeams*...these are really exciting)

No. 3: Lakers vs. Magic in finals; Lakers spanked 100-75 in game 1on Thursday (June 4); Kobe has 40 points and the Lakers looked like they came with a vengeance to capture the championship.

No. 2: Jordin Sparks (@TheRealJordin) Battlefield video drops June 8 http://tinyurl.com/otm3cz

And No. 1: Whitney Houston album (Undefeated!) drops September 1; I don’t know if you guys know this or not but she is my absolute favorite!  For the people that have known me long enough, you all know that you can’t even speak to me when her music is playing.  Her voice is absolutely phenomenal! I definitely respect other artists, but no one has meant to me what she has.  I’m SOOOO ready for her album!! http://tinyurl.com/39prv8

This concludes the 0606 Aero Rundown - part 1.  I hope you guys enjoyed it.  Be ready for the next one!

Aero's Rundown - 06.06.2009 - Part II

Welcome to the 0606 Aero Rundown - part 2! The Rundown starts now...

No. 10: Found my pix of Jordin Sparks (@TheRealJordin) from her concert with Jesse McCartney in Salt Lake.  It was a life-changing experience for me…lol

No. 9: Went to the movies to see Up with Cristi and we laughed our butts off; it’s a pretty hilarious movie! My dog actually does that “squirrel” thing all the time! LOL!

No. 8: A couple of people are upset about me re-evaluating myself; it’s strange to me how people are hardly ever accepting of a person’s decision to back away and re-evaluate situations.  I don’t think like most people and I’m finally mature enough to respect their opinions only with the hopes that they respect mine.  The real issue is that I don’t like alcohol and I have my reasons…but that’s for another Rundown or maybe a separate blog…too much to talk about here

No. 7: Office conversation about Lebron being better than Jordan; OMG…it really got outta hand at one point.  Some people will never say that Lebron is better – others will never say Jordan is better – some just don’t care…it was all kinda crazy.  My daddy got me back on track once I told him about the conversation…I love that little man! J

No. 6: BMax has kinda been hassling me for the return of Aero’s Rundown because he misses it.  Well here it is BMax…J

No. 5: Finally got my kool-aid wallet!!  Yay! Thanx BMax (@shug24)

No. 4: Didn’t do any of my schoolwork for the last week of my class which sucks because that means I didn’t do my final paper…oh well…I still passed and now I’m getting a strong start in my next class

And now the top 3...(*creepy scary movie music...ya kno...that one really high note...lol*)

No. 3: Chris Brown “ain’t a monster” YouTube video (http://tinyurl.com/olzpfl); I don’t agree at all with what he did, but I do that as a mere human, I have no right to judge or chastise him.  I would probably hit him in the face one good time if I saw him, but I respect him as an artist because he has tons of talent.  The whole situation is not ok, but my prayer is that he moves forward in his life instead of wallowing and driving himself to suicide or something…

No. 2: GM is dropping Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer, and Saab.  This kinda sucks cuz Pontiac and Saab are some very nice vehicles, but I guess since they’re not selling, they have to get rid of them.  I think they’ve sold Hummer to a company in China.

And No. 1: People are upset that Lebron walked out and didn’t do press conference after loss, but honestly I feel like the guy is human and no matter what, we’re all going to do something at some point that people don’t like.  I’m glad he didn’t set himself for the ridiculous questions that he would have MOST LIKELY received in the press conference.  I still respect him as a man and as a player…for those of you who don’t, you have the right if you so choose

This concludes the 0606 Aero Rundown - part 2.  I hope you guys enjoyed it.  Be ready for the next one!
