Vegas's Hottest New Star!

Sam V. If you haven't heard the name yet you are sure to in the not too distant future. This kid has talent. He's currently an unsigned artist doing all he can to get his name, and most importantly his music, out in the open. His passion for music shows through in his original lyrics and catchy hooks. With punchlines that rival some of today's biggest rap artists he's sure to make it big sooner than later.
Nobody I know works harder to achieve their dreams than this kid. Every time I talk with him he's in his studio either producing new beats, or throwing down some new lyrics. He's posted many songs already on the internet (which are free to download, links provided below) and has began gaining recognition. With some of his songs playing on the radio in various parts of the United States it's only a matter of time. Don't miss out on getting to hear a rising star, and being able to follow his successes from the beginning. I'm confident once you listen to some of his songs you'll be hooked and wanting to hear more.

Vacation's Over

I had a wonderful 8 days with my family, camping in Chula Vista. San Diego has to be my favorite city and I leave knowing I'll return for many vacations and hopefully as a permanent resident in the not too distant future. The weather is amazing and I absolutely love the beach. But now I'm left with the bitter-sweet taste of vacation ending and going home. On one hand I do not want to leave this beautiful city. On the other hand I'd like to be home, sleep in my own bed, and get to see my friends. Until another time, goodbye, San Diego.

The Dark Tower

A friend of mine recently told me about a book series he was reading entitled The Dark Tower. After a brief conversation about the main ideas and characters I decided to give the series a try. Starting into the first book I was a bit confused and lost with the characters and setting, but upon reading further I was hooked. Now on the second of what I believe is a seven or eight book series, I can't set the book down. The many twists and turns add to the depth of the plot while keeping your mind thinking about everything that could happen. I may only be on the second book but I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys reading stories which make the mind stop and think.
