Owning the open mic

Entertainment facilitator Hollywood & Highland was the hippity hoppin' place to be yesternightas throngs of Angelenos flocked to Musicians Institute for Grammy U's incipient Open Mic Night, spotlighting swankified live performances by the music industry's most promising young stars,of whom Jarell Perry is incontestably the foremost.Particularly whence, amidst the interminable accolades of "You have a great voice," "I love your whole vibe," "You're right on the money," and "You're on your way," the most fitting constructive criticism the seasoned judges could muster up was "Your look is cool, but I was distracted by all the stuff in your pockets. You look like you're ready for stage from the waist up, but from there, you look like you just came from running errands."Ain't no thang. Ain't no thang. 'Twas a definitive privilege to rub shoulders with such talent-emanating folk within the choiciest cosmopolitan hotspotthat convivial chaps are taking by thunderous storm each and every day.

Why I tend to look like this

'Tis solely by God's grace that He is my joy (thanks be to Janice for el foto):

"...According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory." - 1 Peter 1:3-8

Parading 'round town

Chinatown, that is.The vivacious multi-hued storefronts were teeming with inquisitive onlookersand we appended the multitudeto spectate the glittering 111th annual Golden Dragon Parade.Its grandest gem was the Miss LA Chinatown floatfeaturing the one and only 1st Princess Janice Jann,of whom we are the most fanatical fans as we witness her progressive route towards magnanimous superstardom.The likes of public figures Congresswoman Judy Chu,KNBC anchor Ted Chen,and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa did not parallel in comparison,though the notorious leader of our dignified municipality approached the ball park with his notable witticisms:

Unannounced visitations

are always a credible delight, particularly whence they trigger the crashing of a nostalgia-permeated diner of yesteryear at wee hours of the early morn,and gallivanting to the City of Angels' premier epicenter for local organic fare the following morningtide to congregate with other farmers market enthusiasts.Though we had our eyeballs riveted on the boundless rows of high-quality farm-fresh produce that aid in the betterment of our health,we encountered a couple of young characters at the grassfed bison stallwho were profoundly mesmerized by my salmon-hued tights instead.

Who would've anticipated acquiring a slab of grassfed bison to be so exceedingly entertainingin the grand scheme of Saturday morningtides?
