It’s such a Small World!!!

In the past couple of weeks, it’s kinda become more apparent to me that we are all some what connected by the people that we encounterin our lives.  I know living in Austin, Tx we sometimes would play the drinking game of 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, where anyone actor/actress has some sort of connection to actor/musician Kevin Bacon within 6 relationships, and what’s amazing that you can use any actor/actress from any time era and it will work, for some crazy reason they are all connected either by movie, or show.  Who knows we could’ve been playing the game wrong just as an excuse to drink.  Two weekends ago, I went out to celebrate my friend Danielle’s Birthday out at Suite, then afterwards we hung out with some of her friends at their condo in downtown Dallas, and got a chance to meet Jesse Metcalfe, better known from John Tucker Must Die, and also from Desperate Housewives.  It was cool hanging out with him, and seeing how down to earth he was ,the coolest was that he wasn’t all, oh look at me I am an actor guy.  Then one of the girls that I met there, I ran into her friend at a club on Tuesday night, which I didn’t know before then but we were talking about the weekend and it came up that her friend was also hanging out at that party with Metcalfe.  But this past week, I went out with my buddy Robert Oblon and Marc Accetta(www.MarcAccetta.com) to Candleroom here in Dallas,TX.  As we were hanging out and enjoying a nice bottle of Ketel One, we ran into Jeanette, one of the most beautiful, humble, funny women that I have met here in Dallas, well she was with the girl I had met on Tuesday night, which was pretty funny.  Then later on that night they moved us from the table that we were supposed to be at, to another one cause Tony Romo, Dallas Quarterback was in the house.  That night went on, we had a blast and well the rest is on MySpace page…so you can be nosey on your own.  Then as Friday night came along, Jon my buddy that works over at Kinki Lounge had a Birthday Bash with himself, Mia Vincent and some other beautiful women from VIVID Promotions.  I was excited to go, it had been a while since I had seen Jen Cook do any shoots, including Lisa Christine and some other ladies.  So I headed out there with my friends Marc & Kelly Accetta, Stephanie, aka Stephmeister and we were hanging out having fun, seeing the shoot, then Brett & Jen Buckles joined in on the fun.  Had a chance to meet up with and chat with an amazing photographer Greg Woodson, and spoke about hopefully working together down the road.  Later on in the night, once again, here comes in Tony Romo with his crew…LOL, so at the end of the night, Stephanie knew his trainer which was with him and told him what had happened earlier that week with the table, the guy was laughing and said that Tony knew something about that, so he introduced us, and we hung out, got some shots together, pictures that is, pictures and just laughed at the entire situation.  I just thought to myself that in a city as huge as Dallas it is amazing how people you meet everyday can have connections that will connect you to them down the road.  I am always a big believer that everything happens for a reason, and that all of the events in my life have lead me to where I am today.  I am a strong believer in the Law of Attraction and that everything happens in your life for a reason, that we are not simply put onto this life just to breathe, there’s a specific purpose for the actions that happen in our everyday lives as well as the actions that we take ourselves.  I feel lucky to have tons of friends and family to share these wonderful interactions with and look forward to sharing everything else that comes up in the weeks and months to come. 

I am also in the middle of working on a new website that I’ll be introducing called MonicoSpace.com, trust me you’ll love it.  It’s going to be one of the most fun, entertaining sites you’ll ever see, I’ve had the opportunity to meet some wonderful people throughout my life, as well as do some pretty out of the ordinary things that I condiser to make my life above average, so now I am building a site that illustrates to everyone that, YOU TOO CAN HAVE THE STAR!!!

                  

Las Vegas….what a trip!

Hello to all my fellow friends out there.  Man has it been a crazy couple of weeks since I last spoke on here about my lunch with Dallas Mavericks Owner, Mark Cuban.  Since then we had a awesome training out in Long Beach, with Marc Accetta for WorldVentures, then took ourselves out to Vegas for a day and then back to San Diego, hung out there for Valentine’s Day and got a chance to chill with some friends and have some R & R.  Then got back to Dallas and literally had 1 day to pack everything for WorldVentures Annual Event out in Las Vegas.  Ben our videographer and myself took to the road and began documenting everything on video, look out for that very soon on MonicoSpace.com

Once we arrived in Las Vegas, it was fun, fun, fun, till obviously the convention, but till then we got a chance to go out and hang at one of my favorite clubs in Vegas, PURE @ Ceasar’s Palace.  If you ever want to see what happens to all the money people lose on hands and slot machines, go into PURE and you’ll why not only are they one of the hottest clubs in the U.S. but also how in one night of gambling the entire club was paid for.  From there it was off to see some sites down on the Las Vegas Strip, including the Bellagio fountains, The Mirage, MGM, all those multi billion dollar casinos.  On the next day, Thursday, my boss and some of the owners from WV got together to go watch the Danny Gans Show…man is that an awesome show to go see, I had been to Vegas about 12 times and never imagined that there was something I hadn’t seen but he is entertaining, funny, just an awesome show to go and watch.  The next day is was work, work, work…and that was the case pretty much for the majority of the weekend, WV had their Annual Convention which attracted close to 1,200 people in attendance and a couple more hundred that were staggering in to be blown away by the technology, travel vendors and other news that were announced by Mike Azcue, Wayne Nugent, Robert Oblon and Dan Stammen, now known as the DreamTeam.  Marc Accetta, WV Director of Training,  once again hit a home run and blew people’s minds away with doing one of his characters from A View from the Edge which is a life altering training that everyone should go through at one point in their lives that show will be occuring in November of 2007.  Friday night, we saw the amazing talent of Hypnotism as done by Marshall Sylver, which was an awesome show.  Saturday night we had the opportunity to visit Rick Thomas, extraordinary magician, he did a special show for the WV group which was freaking amazing some of the stuff he did on stage, still has me wondering how he did that.  As the weekend came to an end, there was still a buzz throughout the air of A View from the Edge and all of the great stuff to come in 2007.  Sunday afternoon a special group gathered together to visit at Rick Thomas’s house in Las Vegas and see his amazing habitat for his white tigers and other special animals that he has and uses during his shows, Wow was this a treat!!!  Sunday night we all went out and hung out for some much needed beverages and some downtime just hanging out and having fun and partaking in what Las Vegas has to offer. 

Las Vegas is a great city, never seems to disappoint anyone who visits there for either their first time or their 20th time, there’s always something new and exciting right around the corner for anyone’s liking.
