Need a Domain? GoDaddy is the Way. NetSol No Way!

In a recent blog post by Bob Parsons, owner of GoDaddy.com, he defends his company from a bunch of false comments and mis information. I usually don’t post geeky stuff on my blog but seeing as that I am a loyal GoDaddy customer I felt it was only fitting that I write a little something about it.

I bought my first domain with Network Solutions way back when they cost $35 per year and you had to buy it for two years. I remeber saying to myself this is quite expensive, but they were the only show in town so I had no choice. The day I found out about GoDaddy it was like I went to heaven and back. Domains 8.95 a year was something no one expected. Ofcourse I immediately bought several domains and transferred all my domains. That was almost three years ago and I’m still with them and I promote and suggest godaddy to all my friends.

Mr. Parsons you definately have my support in this matter.

Finally on our way back from the show. Saw a lot of cool stuff and got some good ideas. But time to go sleepy bye. All that walking takes its toll on ones body. Sammy OUT!

Yes that is correct. Two of my coworkers and I are on our way to the biggest gift trade show in the world in the Big Apple. It’s pretty exciting, I’ve never been. I’ll post more picts from the event later. Sammy OUT!

Another gig another scorcher. It is 99 degrees out here today we are once again sweating like dogs. This is a small church but the spirit is moving and that’s the important thing. Look for another update later. Back to drumming. Sammy OUT!

Somebody needed to check the weather channel but they didn’t. Yesterday’s service was rained out after about two hours. We and our instruments got soaked. We just got to our last stop for this weekend, Camden New Jersey. I’ll post picks later. Sammy OUT!

It is way too hot at this church. I’m sweating so much it’s not even funny. It’s to the point where I feel I cant breathe. I’m now in my car with the AC blasting. Now I’m cool. Whew! Sammy OUT!

This Weekend…

…Will be very long and tiring. Tonight the band will be playing in Boston again, for an evangelist’s ministry anniversary then saturday we are back home to play at an event outside and then Sunday we leave at 6AM for the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. It’s going to be a crazy trek but it’s something we are used to as a band. The last time we visited Puerto Rico on a missionary trip we played for ten days straight. We were tired as you may imagine.

It takes a lot of work to put together all the equipment and also carry it around, we do not have the luxury of having people that do this for us. My father unfortunately is the bearer of most of the work since it is him that handles all the sound for the events. Ofcourse we help him as much as we can but he’s already 50 and his body has been through a lot in those years. We now have our cousin who helps him a lot and for that we are greatful. I just wonder how long he’s going to be able to handle all this work.

I know God is looking out for him and all his hard work. God Bless you DAD.

I will be MOBLOGING while on the road so look out for those.

Sammy OUT!

Short Update

Well we’ve been in Puerto Rico for almost a week now and now has been the only time I’ve been able to get a chance to write something.

This whole trip has been almost a total disaster. It has not gotten total disaster status only because I’m with Josie and all the guys have made the best of it.

I will fill you in on the details when I get to work on Thursday. It’s been crazy!

Sammy OUT!!!
