From almost killed to Cloud 9

Ok, Im not really sure where to start on this one, so let me go back to last night. I went to a seminar last night put on by a Dr. in reference to pain. I left my office at 5 pm for 7:30 meeting. The meeting was in Md. roughly/usually about 25 minute ride from home in Northern Va. I arrived at the meeting at 8, with all the rain it made the area traffic ten times worse, enough said. Some of you may or may not know that I have severe arthritis in my left hip joint ( which is why I want to this seminar) needless to say if you havent heard of NIKKEN or the wellness home I highly reccomend you do some research and check it out. I have never felt better after sitting on this magnetic machine for 15 minutes. No pain, no stiffness (dont worry ladies) that stiffness still is fine. This machine creates a magnetic field around your body that increases the oxygen levels in your body thus reducing the pain. On my way home I felt so great I decided to call a few friends and tell them about the great products that are offered by NIKKEN, however less then 300 yards from my exit, I narrowly avoided my death...literally. It was raining so hard last few days, that it caused an 80 ft tall OAK tree to fall onto the Capital Beltway, I watched as the 3 cars in front of me impacted the tree ( which I narrowly avoided) in my rearview mirror to my horror, I watched as a tractor trailor slid out of control, causing the trailor to swing around and impact the already gruesome seen. The tractor impacted the other 3 cars and the tree, smacking the cars up onto the embankment like little flies. I am so glad for my cat like reflexes, when I say I narrowly avoided being caught up in this mess I mean it, literally I escaped it by a few feet. I immediately hung up with my friend and called 911 to notify the authorities, and continued home to my garage. As I was walking out of the garage I could here the sirens this accident was literally 300 yards from my home so I had to go over and check out what had happened. Its sad that 3 people were killed, but I am so thankful that a higher power had to be watching over me. I was uneasy most of the night after that and had a hard time digesting what I had saw and its outcome. But true to the cliche' the sun always rises, and for the first time in a week when I opened my eyes this morning the sun was shining brightly. For the first time in years I awoke with no pain in my joints and I couldnt believe that the products I had used last night actually were helping me feel better, this quickly this easily. I was truly amazed at the performance of these products. Didnt think my day could get much better, but I had the biggest meeting of my life scheduled for 3 pm today and it couldnt have worked out any better for me, for my career. I will know be the sole mortgage lender for a national firm in their office of 200 + realtors which means all the hard work I have done to position myself in my field has paid off, they are signing the final paper work next week and Im off to cloud 9. Thanks for reading and if you have any questions about NIKKEN dont hesitate to contact me via e-mail and I will be glad to share more of what the products are and how they can help you.

Saturday Fun

Just thought I would check in and say that yesterday was absolutely awesome. Started off around 12:30 at the beer fest, althought the weather reports called for MAJOR thunderstorms all day, the beer festival was a blast. It was a little overcast and very humid and around 89 degree's, which made for a great day of drinking exotic beers. I hsd sbout 20 different beers, from hefferfiesens ( hope I spelled that right) to lagers and ales. All were great for the most part, but I actually liked some of these flavored beers they were pushing, from Rapberry, to chocolate and apple. I must admit this apple beer was freaking awesome. Im not sure if it was because it was ice cold or what but I can still envision the taste of it. Best part of the festival though was that there were some damn hot women there and it was a single guys dream to be to see, did I mention I love summer...the clothing, the cleavage and the tans.....enough said. The day only got better after that. As I mentioned in my previous post, Dave Matthews was the plan for the evening entertainment. We left the beer fest around 4:30 and headed to show. Upon arrival after waiting in a 3 mile long back up gwtting into the show, I could tell it was gonna be amazing. For those of you who dont know, Dave Matthews was raised in Northern Virginia and it showed by the fan supposrt last night. Nissan Pavillion hold roughly 30,000 people and its an ampi-theather so there is always room to squeeze in a few more, the sold out crowd was announced at 43000. Anyway upon arrival we immediately parked and began to tailgate since the show didnt start til 7, and Dave wasnt expected on until 8:30. Did I mention I love summer....lol. The beer fest was hot, but the women at the show were hotter and I mean that literally, I have never seen more ass or cleavage at any other show and I have been to alot. Did I mention that it started lightly raining. It was like a wet t-shirt competition, meets mud wrestling. As the night grew on it began to rain even harder, fortunately I had seats in the 13th row under the pavillion and was saved, because by the time Dave got on it was a full blown monsoon, it rained like that for 45 minutes and the crowd was loving it. Beach balls and balloons flying everywhere, boobies being flashed, and nakedness and the effervescense of marijuana in the air. Upon one trip to the mens room ( mind you by this time I had the 20 (6oz beers at the fest and half case at the show along with a few frozen margarita's) I needed to drain the vein, it reminded me of the 2nd Woodstock, the mud people were everywhere and the concourse was flooded with streams of mud. Ok Ok... I know stop babbling, Dave was amazing actually and I think it was because of the rain and the threat of serious lightening, he came on a little earlier then expected at around 8:15. He played alot of new songs that I havent heard yet, but he played alot of classic Dave from Dancing Nancies, Wharehouse and Crash Into Me, the crowd loved it, he played for 2 and 1/2 hours and I dont think anyone in the crowd ever sat down, looking back behind me at the sea of people was amazing ezpecially with the lighting at the show, just a constant flow arms and swaying as far as the eyes could see. As is typical of Dave, he walked off the stage only to come back 5 minutes later. He greeted the crowd, with a big "Thank You" and how it was always nice to be home. He immediately lead right into "WatchTower" which is one of my personal favorites and the crowd sung along with him and it was very very intense, feeling 43,000 people behind you screamin and singing at the top of there lungs. He finished with "Let it Burn" and the crowd sensing the end finally started to relax and let him sing it, if you have never seen Dave live I highly recommend you do, his music is real and his band puts on a great show ( every guest always plays there heart out, its not electronic as most music is these days, and his rhythm and beats are truly poetic. Of course it never hurts to be in the right mind frame. I had an amazin weekend and lots of fun Im glad its over though cause its gonna take a few days to recooperate.

Good Morning Everyone,
Have a long day planned headed out to a beer festival for the rest of the afternoon, hopefully it wont rain to much, either way I will be drunk so it probably wont matter much. After the beer festival I'm headed to the Dave Matthews concert, another outdoor event, but by that time I probably wont remember by name. Hope everyone enjoys there weekend and hopefully in a safe manner. Ciao til later.

Hello All,
Sorry that i havent posted in awhile, but its been a rough 5 weeks for me. After doing some much needed traveling in the beginning to middle of May, life crazy for me. Unfortuantely my 93 yr old grandmother was left unattended and fell breaking her hip, shoulder and collar bone. Grams had surgery the following day and had 19 pins inserted into her to keep everything together, everything was fine for a few days.... and then she became very combative, dillusional and had a fever 104.5. They thought it best to put her into a medically induced coma, so that she wouldnt hurt herself and or damage any of the repairs that they had made.
Im glad to say that yesterday Grams was awakened by the Dr.'s and put back into the regular rooms with the general populous of the hospital. If all goes as expected she can be moved to a rehab center by Wednesday of next week. So let me apologize for not posting again and I hope to hear back from all my blogger friends.
