<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This is very high energy but seems to fall short considering its Missy. It&#8217;s a very fun track. I hop to hear more from Missy this coming year. Female rappers need to step it up. I mean ppl are saying Niki Minaj is the best cuz shes the only one doing it consistently. ( not that great though)</p>

<p>opportunist.</p>
<p>Six degrees of separation has been reduced to 2, everyone has to beware of these frauds. On twitter today I witnessed for the first time someone try to take rap/nail salon tactics to the world of Track &#38; Field. Please Note I am not writing this as a UST&#38;F athlete, I havent paid for 2010 yet, additionally none of the athletes mention here neither endorse nor disagree with my following statements. However, I find it odd that an illiterate collegiate athlete would take shots at an Olympian Nike athlete from Puerto Rico. </p>
<p>Usually I will never bring twitter to my blog&#8230;but this 1993-nail extensions broad is &#8217;so ambitious&#8217;. <IMG alt="Model Mayhem or Just Mayhem?" src="http://modelmayhm-7.vo.llnwd.net/d1/avatars/3/3/4/0/6/7/334067677_m.jpg">. FACT: You are not a real model if the only pictures you have online are at ModelMayhem.com <A href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/334067"></A>Next, how you gonna come at me on twitter, then delete half the stuff, after getting clowned (guess the Louis Vutton nails didnt help) by the girl you called a redbone&#8230;maybe you are bumping this Missy a bit too hard. If you DO have a modeling contract its about as real as a WalMart Bottle of Champagne. Secondly, I love Haitians, Im part Haitian but please don&#8217;t talk shit, with high school times and do invest in hooked on phonics. So miss Skyy [http://twitter.com/skyyt] (who I heard through my Big-12 circles, that Skyy is short for skeet) im going to stop addressing the needy, and make sure I donate extra money to the &#8220;make a wish&#8217; foundation or something</p>
<p>Next, Im going to stay in the world of athletics&#8230;How many of us have seen a flyer saying &#8220;Going down tonight at _____ hosted by ____ of the Memphis Grizzlies&#8217; okay, usual nothing weird typical Myspace/Facebook promoting. But when do you see the same players on two different flyers for the same club night, in the same city. Is it that much of a recession that certain players make more appearances at clubs than their squad got wins?</p>
<p>I only write this because I had to send the following tweets out last week, instead of enjoying CineSpace </p>
<p>&#8220;-@MyImageisKlutch: Im NOT, repeat NOT at Area tonight, I am at Cinespace supporting&#8230;&#8221; </p>
<p>because of these party invitations that were sent out on facebook people were confusing what Grizzlies adjacent event I was at [http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/event.php?eid=191923531634&#38;index=1] with this description FRIDAY NOVEMBER 6TH &#8220;FUSION&#8221; FASHION &#38; MUSIC<br />
&#38; LA LAKERS VS MEM. GRIZZLIES NBA AFTERPARTY</p>
<p>@ CINESPACE 6356 HOLLYWOOD BLVD</p>
<p>COME CELEBRATE MUSIC &#38; FASHION WITH SPECIAL GUEST PERFORMANCES LIVE RUNWAY FASHION SHOW AND PARTY WITH HOLLYWOOD&#8217;S SEXIEST CROWD<br />
HOSTED BY MODEL SABRINA ARYADAD FROM AMERICA&#8217;S NEXT TOP MODEL</p>
<p>DOORS OPEN 930PM<br />
FREE BEFORE 11PM<br />
&#8230;.and this flyer <IMG alt="Grizziles After Party I" src="http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/object2/278/71/n191923531634_6129.jpg"></p>
<p>Party description II: Friday Nites at AREA! Hosted By Memphis Grizzlies Zach Randolph &#38; Hasheem Thabeet. Ladies Free b4 11. Upscale Dress Only.643 La Cienega. Saturdays at IVAR!</p>
<p>Now I know the Grizzlies were at BOTH parties, they went to Area first, and came to Ivar for the fashion show&#8230;nevertheless it was tacky. To be parading around town, like yo run &#8216;ish after a loss looks stupid, save that until you play the Clippers!</p>

<p>DANCE AFTER DARK<br />
DJ Freedom&#8217;s latest greatest featuring BIG ROOM ANTHEMS.</p>
<p>&#8220;Big Room Anthems&#8221; are songs made for the dancefloor of a full scale nightclub. Venues in NYC like Pacha, in South Beach like Cameo or in Vegas like-like any hotel with a nightclub really-feature these songs.<br />
My versions on these songs is meant to feature the best parts of the songs. I don&#8217;t get into the WORDS a lot but they are there to guide the original vision of the song, and the person who remixed it.<br />
If you like the list and want the download (I don&#8217;t sell these) then you should send me a note.<br />
There&#8217;s a SPECTACULAR jazz song at the end that I want you to go to giantstep.net and buy&#8230;it is so well done and emotive I thought for those of you who LOVE music you&#8217;ll dig on this one. </p>

<description><![CDATA[Since our move to Southern California in 2006 Samantha and the Kids have taken an annual pilgrimage ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Since our move to Southern California in 2006 Samantha and the Kids have taken an annual pilgrimage to Idaho to visit family in June after school let out for the summer. It quickly became my least favorite time of the year. I&#8217;d reluctantly pack them up, drive them to the airport and sadly wave goodbye each year because being alone is not a strong point of mine.</p>
<p>After a few days I end up staying up til 4AM, watching infomercials and buying what&#8217;s offered. Sam tries to help by giving me healthy food to eat but I always end up at Walmart buying chocolate covered donuts, 7-up (an underappreciated beverage), beef jerky and chocolate milk. It&#8217;s rough. I need the action of people walking around and my wife to sleep next to.</p>
<p>Charis Portraiture, my taskmaster for 3 years, went down in flames in March. So this year for the first time I had the lucky opportunity to go with the family to Idaho. We had some pleasant times. Actually some great times.</p>
<p>My business went down hard so I am usually broke now but I have plenty of time. Being financially poor but time rich is a complicated pleasure. It can be a pleasure if you can ignore past due notices, and your impulses at Walmart, and eat cheaply, and never go to the mall, and be perfectly happy with a 1995 Isuzu Trooper that leaks a large amount of oil all over your rented 1.4 million dollar houses driveway.</p>
<div id="attachment_231" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/stake-park.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-231" title="Stake park" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/stake-park.jpg" alt="Stake park" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Wendell Idaho Stake Park</p></div>
<p>Our first stop was the Smith Family Reunion in the lovely hamlet of Wendell Idaho. The church (LDS church) has a park that you can set aside for usage like a family reunion. It is a perfect place for a large group. The only downfall was the constant smell of a dairy farm and some crazy cow mooing all night like it was being tortured.</p>
<div id="attachment_250" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/wendell-stake-park1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-250" title="Wendell Stake Park" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/wendell-stake-park1.jpg" alt="Wendell Stake Park" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Open ground for recreation. Easily underrated.</p></div>
<p>This place in Wendell  is Idaho in its most simple form: grass, trees, blue skies, and noone around.</p>
<p>The days are long in June. Sunrise at 6AM Sunset at 9:30PM. Light breezes and temperatures in the 80&#8217;s. Recreational opportunities unlimited.</p>
<div id="attachment_232" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/smith-sisters-save-1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-232" title="Smith sisters save 1" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/smith-sisters-save-1.jpg" alt="Smith sisters save 1" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Smith Sisters are all here except Shauna (we all missed you Shauna)</p></div>
<p>This is all of Samantha&#8217;s 5 sisters except for Shauna. They are masters at organizing themselves into a pleasing photograph at any moment. Sam is on the far right.</p>
<div id="attachment_234" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/lily-in-tent.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-234" title="Lily in tent" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/lily-in-tent.jpg" alt="Lily in tent" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Lily waiting in the tent for something fun to do</p></div>
<p>The tents provided hours of fun and pleasure for the kids. Lily climbed in the tent when we set it up and did not exit for several hours. Everyone that walked by got an invitation to &#8220;come play with me&#8221;.  She had found her home.</p>
<div id="attachment_229" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/the-boys-2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-229" title="The boys 2" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/the-boys-2.jpg" alt="The boys 2" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cousins and friends.</p></div>
<p>At the reunion certain groups emerged. This one emerged quickly. When we arrived and started to set up camp the boys high fived eachother and then proceeded to crawl around on the ground, climb the chain link fence, tell Star Wars memories and run amok.</p>
<p>There are no age differences, no personality quirks, no distance too far to dampen the cousins relationships. This is boyhood at its purest.</p>
<div id="attachment_230" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/the-boys.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-230" title="The Boys" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/the-boys.jpg" alt="The Boys" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Enjoying the grass</p></div>

<div id="attachment_233" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/most-of-the-kids.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-233" title="Most of the kids" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/most-of-the-kids.jpg" alt="Most of the kids" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Most of the kids at the reunion</p></div>
<p>The kids make the reunion fun and exciting. Nothing is too much fun and anything goes. This photo was taken after the &#8220;so you think you have talent&#8221; variety show. This is most of the kids. Several didn&#8217;t make it to the photo. They were too busy playing on the swing set</p>
<div id="attachment_256" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/swing-set.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-256" title="Swing set" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/swing-set.jpg" alt="Swing set" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Swing Set for the Kids</p></div>
<p>This is the swing set that I was speaking of. Its an old-school steel one. At one point during the reunion someone screamed and the rumor immediately circulated that one of the kids had cut themselves badly on an errant part of the swing set.  All the parents sprinted over to the swing set to find out that it was untrue.</p>
<p>We didn&#8217;t believe that that old thing could be safe. Its too old.</p>
<div id="attachment_235" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/grace-learning-to-walk.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-235" title="Grace learning to walk" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/grace-learning-to-walk.jpg" alt="Grace learning to walk" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Grace learning to walk</p></div>
<p>Grace was only 1.2 years old at this point. She was lurching around the place learning to walk. She went about in this diaper most of the day. That morning I took her to Simerleys, the grocery store, to get some milk for her to drink. Uncle Dave drove us in his big pickup truck. I had her wrapped in a blanket with just her diaper on. It was 8AM. The grocery store didn&#8217;t open until 9.  We went to the Maverick gas station. I told Dave that I was worried what people might say when I took Grace in the store. He said &#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t worry about it. People don&#8217;t just naturally assume the worst around here&#8221;. He was right. I got a lot of smiles and although I was a scoungy lookin&#8217; dude carrying a mostly naked baby in an old blanket noone said anything. It was refreshing.</p>
<div id="attachment_227" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/timid-catcher-copy.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-227" title="timid catcher copy" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/timid-catcher-copy.jpg" alt="timid catcher copy" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The timid catcher</p></div>
<p>We played baseball. The pitcher was great. He could pitch a ball and still hold one in his glove. The catcher played a conservative game. I wonder where she would be if there wasn&#8217;t a backstop to keep her close.</p>
<div id="attachment_225" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/grandma-smith-and-grace.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-225" title="Grandma Smith and Grace" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/grandma-smith-and-grace.jpg" alt="Grandma Smith and Grace" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Gramma Smith and Grace</p></div>
<p>The first night we were foolish. The day was warm and the evening got cool. At 2AM it was freezing. Grace sobbed all night in her crib in our tent. The next night I resolved to put 2 pairs of Jammies on her. She slept quietly all night. It got fiercely cold at night. You can feel it settling through the nylon walls of the tent.</p>
<p>Its easy to forget about these things living in the soft weather of Southern California.</p>
<div id="attachment_253" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/ballmanorfront-copy.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-253" title="Ballmanorfront copy" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/ballmanorfront-copy.jpg" alt="Ballmanorfront copy" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">6AM July 2nd, 2009. Ball Manor.</p></div>
<p>My Father is a gentleman. His favorite things in this life are his wife, his 8 children, his 20 some grandchildren and his grounds. He and I stood out looking at the front yard and he said &#8220;there&#8217;s nothing like grass. Grass is civilizatioin&#8221; 30 acres is a lot of grass.</p>
<p>July 2nd, 2009 at 6AM I soaked my shoes walking around Ball Manor. It was perfectly still. All you could hear was the birds.</p>
<div id="attachment_9" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/missy.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-9 " title="Missy" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/missy.jpg" alt="Missy the mouser in the front yard" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Missy following me around the house at 6AM July 2nd, 2009</p></div>
<p>I took this photograph from that same early morning session. I had a visit from my Father and Mother last week. They were going through some of my photographs and they came across this one. My dad responded with an emotional frown and grimace. Missy the mouser, the best hunter to grace the lawns at Ball Manor had gone missing. She used to follow Dad around the house while he pulled weeds and mowed. He had never seen a photograph of her. It was a powerful thing.</p>
<p>I had a friend at Brooks who always said with mystery in his voice &#8220;only the dead inhabit photographs&#8221;. Sad.</p>
<div id="attachment_19" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/banbury1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-19" title="Banbury" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/banbury1.jpg" alt="Banbury" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">1st hole at Banbury par 4. Driver, Sand Wedge, 3 putt to my bogey</p></div>
<p>When I dream of golf <a href="http://www.banburygolf.com">Banbury Golf Club</a> is the place and except for the 12th hole this is the hole I dream of. The sun is always raking in from the left and the air is usually heavy with humidity from the marsh that you stand next to when you tee off here. It smells like soil, moss and Idaho standing there. The air is always electric because the round is starting and anything is possible. I set up my <a href="http://www.franke-heidecke.net/">rolleiflex</a> to take the photo but stopped to put my ball on a tee to give myself the feeling of a fresh round at Banbury once I returned to California.</p>
<div id="attachment_23" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/laurence-putting.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-23" title="Laurence putting" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/laurence-putting.jpg" alt="Although mostly blind Laurence usually 2 (or 3 but sometimes 4 or 5) putts" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Although mostly blind Laurence usually 2 (or 3 sometimes 4 or 5) putts</p></div>
<p>My golf buddies range from Brothers. Josh, Zach and Jake to friends Matt, Christian and my Brothers in Law Josh King, Joe Oliver. My most trusted and reliable golf buddy is my Father in Law Laurence Smith. He is the most enthusiastic golfer that I personally know. He is always ready to drop appointments, switch flights, skip important meetings and do nearly anything for 18 holes. He is also legally blind. The thing I hear most when we are golfing is: &#8220;did you see where my ball went?&#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_25" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/laurence-waiting.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-25" title="Laurence waiting" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/laurence-waiting.jpg" alt="Laurence waiting" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Laurence waiting to tee off on the treacherous number 8.</p></div>

<p>The temperature was probably 101. These three cousins were born within 9 months of eachother. They were reluctant to participate but the dogs were on hand as was Sams hand.</p>
<p>I like how flush their cheeks were. Red in the heat.</p>

<p>The 4th of July is a magical day to me. The long day, the heat, the friends, family and BBQ. Finally, the fireworks that make the day so exciting. My wifes annual flag cake expresses patriotism and committment to her family. We love it.</p>

<p>There are parents who take good care of their children and then there are parents who let their children sit in their high chairs for too long without food</p>

<p>Along the long and dangerous road to Atlanta IdahoNext came the Ball family reunion. It was in Atlanta Idaho, a freeky, small town full of social exiles and pariahs. The resort that we stay at has become a family tradition its called <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&#38;ie=UTF8&#38;q=pinnacle+peaks+atlanta+idaho&#38;fb=1&#38;gl=us&#38;hq=pinnacle+peaks&#38;hnear=atlanta+idaho&#38;view=map&#38;cid=337550200521243376&#38;ved=0CA0QpQY&#38;ei=RKX5SryfC4q-M-yaoZEP&#38;t=h&#38;z=16&#38;iwloc=A">pinnacle peaks</a>. The drive from Boise is beyond dangerous but interesting.</p>
<p>My sister got a flat tire on the way out and it took her over 12 hours to get to the nearest town, Idaho City. Once she got there all the tire shops were closed. The next day she had to drive back from Boise with a spare.</p>

<p>Grace and her grandpa had dressed in the same colors. Pink and brown. Graces favorite blanket had somehow found its way outside to the chair. She held her finger in front of her lips when she heard a dog bark. She is so lively.</p>
<div id="attachment_266" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/heroic.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-266" title="Heroic" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/heroic.jpg" alt="Heroic" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Zach, the fierce competitor.</p></div>
<p>At the resort there is a ramshackle putting green with astroturf and ridiculous contours. Nonetheless, each year the annual Pinnacle Peaks invitational (2 days, two rounds of 9 holes) is held. Zach and I battle against Josh for supremacy. Its no use. Josh beats us soundly.</p>
<p>Zach does hold great form anyways, he&#8217;s always a class act.</p>

<p>Kickball is the game. My siblings and I devolve into children under our parents care and act like idiots. Its great.</p>
<p>I gathered those of us who played the game for a group shot. Justin always finds the most unique ways to pose in a picture. Here he is face down doing the deadman. His pose certainly adds a strong horizontal element to the photograph. If you zoom in you can see his eye through the blades of grass.</p>

<p>In their own world these two fished for hours. No cares but where to cast their hook next, no time constraints, noone out on the pond but them.</p>
<p>Childhood memories just burn so deeply into your conscience.</p>
<div id="attachment_268" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/fishin.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-268" title="Fishin" src="http://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/fishin.jpg" alt="Fishin" width="450" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cousins fishing</p></div>
<p>I noticed that their hooks were bare and that they spent most of their time casting and reeling in. I thought that I might intrude and ask if they wanted help catching something. Then I thought &#8220;I don&#8217;t think they really want to catch anything&#8221;</p>

<p>DID YOU KNOW TODAY IS NATIONAL CAPSLOCK DAY? Cause it really is and&#8230;</p>
<p>Above is a picture to left of my monitor at work, so technically, I get to see some of you everyday <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Hey everyone! I&#8217;m really excited about our blog.</strong> And as of the design, it will get sweeter as we go on, because I&#8217;ve been dedicating more of my time to learn web as I get closer to moving to NY. So hopefully in the next couple of months I&#8217;ll be making some changes. I did create these little banners, I hope they&#8217;re not a hassle, but you can use at either the end or the top of your post. I did this mainly because when Jenni posted I had no idea who it was from except that I could tell by the choice of her words. (Also I made Jenny and Jenni, I don&#8217;t know which way you go by). Also let&#8217;s talk tags people <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  They can be really convenient for each of your posts, say for instance you post a recipe, you can tag it as a recipe. When you do this, if you click the recipe tag on your post when it&#8217;s published, all of the posts tagged as recipe will show up. It really will just pay off in the long run, because if a year from now you want Jennys brownie recipe, it makes it easier to find/</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:left;">Ok that&#8217;s enough for today. Peace!</p>
