DE LA JESUS: October 2009

Better late than never. Here it is. Summer passed like 2 weeks ago, but who cares!

The Defining Moment: The Death of Michael Jackson
Without a doubt, probably the biggest shocker this summer. The death of legendary pop-icon, Michael Jackson. No one saw it coming, and everyone was just looking forward to his last concerts in London. Then came the legal issues with his kids, cause of his death, and plenty of other mysteries. The news always seemed to have something with 'Michael Jackson' in it this summer. With all that said, R.I.P MJ.

The Theme Parks( Disneyland & Six Flags) and Fair
Since we had visitors from Guam and Texas this summer, Disneyland was definitely a part of the agenda. I really don't like Disneyland that much. Long lines, expensive. But I still think Fantasmic is one of the sickest shows. But with all that put aside, Disneyland is still one of the Happiest Places on Earth.

I also went to Six Flags Magic Mountain two times this summer. First time with my cousin, brother and sister. Second, with Quang, Calvin, Brandon and Marc. The second time was a rapid plan one, and took less than 24 hours to happen. It was intense. X2 is still the biggest thrill in the world. The second time around we got to ride Terminator Salvation three times ( there were no lines) and that has to be the most fun ride there. Sucks that this place might close though.

The annual Del Mar Fair. Went two times again, 1st time with family, 2nd with friends. Honestly, it's the same thing every year, but I find myself going. I also get Pan Fried Chicken, Fried Oreos and Funnel Cake. This year I tried Fried Reese's and Snickers too. Tasted pretty good. The Del Mar Fair is also the paradise of hustling. The games are fun, but your probably not gonna win. If you do win, it probably cost you at least $15 dollars to win. I still play them though. Haha.

That Big Puddle of Water
I actually didn't go to the beach that much this year. All I remember is just that weird girl that hung out with us the whole day, and I had no clue who she was. Played football, volleyball, ate BBQ, normal beach stuff. Put people in sand, made big holes to put them in, got sand in almost everything. There's no summer without the beach.

The World Famous Internationally Known Comic Convention
Nerds, toy lovers, movie lovers, who wouldn't want to go to Comic Con. Lots of lines, and if you didn't buy a ticket early, you were pretty much out of luck. Every year, it gets bigger. The exhibit hall is huge, and theres free stuff everywhere. Most of it sucks but some if its pretty cool. Like the beach ball Pokeball. What a genius idea. This year I roamed the floors with Lawrence, Ryan, Kris and Quang. Was pretty fun. First year getting into the Pushead line. Got a L'amour Supreme hand paint. First year where I had a job 6 months before so I had a lot of funds. Met some fellow Skullbrainers, met some artists, got some sketches. Definitely a decline in costumes this year, kind of sucked. Didn't make it to a panel this year, but that just sets it up for next year.
