Here It Goes Again

It seems like it has been FOREVER.  But I'm back.  And it is May 25 2011.  Today is World MS Day.  MS is Multiple Sclerosis, I myself do not have this disease, but someone in my family does.  I did participate (with Gela) in this year's local Walk MS.  We raised over $800 which goes towards funding research for MS.  If you do anything today, please look at more information about MS and how you can help raise money for research at the National MS Society.




In other news.  Gela and I are going in a hot air balloon later.  Which is beyond scary and so extremely awesome at the same time.  Tomorrow is one of the most amazing days ever:  THE HANGOVER PART 2 opens in theatres.  Unfortunately I cannot go at midnight, but I will be going opening day with some friends.

Ed Helms is pretty much my comedy dream man.  I fell in love with him during the first Hangover movie.  He's the reason I started watching The Office.  And he even "introduced" me to my friend Crystal--fellow lover of Mr Helms.  

And I got a job for the summer.  I will be working in the Production Department at Cooperstown Dreams Park.  I'll share a little info about the park, because I know that you all are dying to know what goes on there.  

If you don't already know, Cooperstown is the home of the Baseball Hall of Fame.  The whole town is pretty much baseball oriented.  The park is for youth teams that play in a tournament for 13 weeks (all summer) --there are about 98 teams per week, making it about 1274 teams throughout the summer.  It also is the home of the American Youth Baseball Hall of Fame, which every team member will be inducted to.

I guess that is all for me.  Saturday there will most likely not be a blog because Gela and myself are going to Sharon Springs for the 2011 Garden Festival--which includes a tour of the Beekman farm.

Do What You Want :)

Before becoming mega Beek Geeks, DiCaprio and I had an Ed Helms phase. It started with Ed's character in the movie "The Hangover." Our appreciation only increased with his role, Andy Bernard, on "The Office." During this time, DiCaprio stumbled across a fan page for Mr. Ed Helms and found another mega fan. Her name is Crystal Friedman from California. DiCaprio found pictures of her WITH Ed Helms and instantly knew they had to be friends. After becoming friends on Facebook, they discovered that they had a lot in common and are great friends now.

Crystal is beyond talented. She's an artist, comedian, musician, and writer. As an artist, Crystal has done quite a lot. She gave Ed Helms a picture of him, that she painted, in person after seeing him at UCB. Later, she found out that he actually hung the picture up! Currently, Crystal is working on a picture of Jason Sudeikis for DiCaprio.

Crystal can play the banjo and the guitar. She has "jam sessions" with her siblings from time to time. Crystal even writes songs! One song is "Young" which she performs with her siblings.

Another project of Crystal's is Comical Citizen Apparel. This is a line of t-shirts and accessories that she started last April. The shirts are inspired by her art, music, and her favorite movies. There is also a fan page for Comical Citizen Apparel.

Crystal can be found on Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr, and through her blog, 365 Days. You should definitely check out her videos and like and subscribe. We know she is going to be famous some day soon.
