*shine/everybody nose

my computer decided to mysteriously end my last entry, so i must start again *hehe*

but like i was saying the first time, it is another beautiful day in surbuban chicago & i think that this summer is off to a great start. i'm doing my best to stay positive about achieving my goals and dreams; adequately setting myself up for success. So what has been going in the lovely world of LilMizSunshyne? Bucket loads of fun, of course. Kicked off the summer by going to the Dillo Day concert Saturday with a few friends to see Estelle & N.E.R.D. and it was dopetastic (check out just a few of the photos above). Loved both of the sets they put on. I could've done without all of the pushing and shoving and crowd surfing - but hey, it was a college concert, so you were going to experience that, right? Estelle was madd funny & quite entertaining. She kept it real with the crowd & even when a girl got hurt from the shananigans of some knuckleheads, she stopped her set to see if she was alright. I must say, it was rather distracting for the paramedics to come in front of the stage to assist the girl, but i guess you have to do what you have to do sometimes. When N.E.R.D. came on stage, the crowd went bananas! I was just geeked to see Pharrell *giggles* he's madd cute in person, but the crowd started getting a bit reckless, so me and my girls had to chuck the deuces and moved toward the exit so we could breathe and not get trampled over. But from where we stood, it was pretty dope and they had the lights just a flashing...i was really seeing sounds ;-) My next concert *i'm hoping, but it's like next week, so who knows" is the Musiq/Anthony Hamilton/Chrisette Michele show @ the Arie Crown Theater on June 13th. I love R&B, so i know that this concert is gonna be dope. But if I dont make that, I will be attending the Taste of Chicago where I will see Ne-Yo & Keri Hilson for free! Apparently, Lupe Fiasco is supposed to be performing in Grant Park for free, but I'm still unaware of the day that he'll be there. Regardless, I'm there. (got "Soldier" by N.E.R.D f/ Lil Wayne & Santogold in the headphones right now....goes hard!)


Now on to bigger things, like planning this QUEST workshop for the class of 'o9. so much to do, so little time. but i'm not worried - i've got lots of help and i know that this going to be yet another success.

Anything else...oh! be on the look out for my future endeavors coming to life, starting summer 2009. it's about to get really real, really quick. can't wait for the ride ...
