Bring on the cake!...

So it's finally vacation time! Well...this isn't really a vacation, I would say. (Not like Katie livin' it up in sweet California!) But its close to a vacation. Its my cousin's wedding weekend in Walla Walla, Washington. A really terrible alliteration, I know...but true.

In addition to having rehersal dinner under our belts, we got the bridesmaid dresses, the cake, even the flower petals to chuck down aisle all under control. Everything seems to be coming together pretty well! That got me thinking..."What do our Voxxers and readers think about weddings?....."

So there's your question: What's the modern-day importance of a wedding? Do you have a "dream-day"? Music? Food? Location? Ladies: Have you been planning since childhood? Guys: Do you still not care so much about the details?

Rest in peace, Michael Jackson

One of the biggest names in the music industry is dead. Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest in a Los Angeles Hospital, to the surprise of millions worldwide.

I don't know about you guys, but it hasn't really sunk in for me. I'm not really a Michael Jackson fan, but I literally cannot imagine him dead. It never crossed my mind that he could die.

So let's join the many vigils going on at this very moment. Any Jackson fans out there? Any great memories or favorite songs? Any last wishes for the late pop sensation?

Spotlight: Seth MacFarlane!!

Ladies and gents this time around I shine the spotlight on one of the most respected and well established cartoonist of the last few years, no not the guy that makes "The Simpsons" but none other than.......Drumroll please......Seth MacFarlane!!! Who you ask? well let me tell you this man is the soul creator of one of the infamous cartoons to date. Family Guy is an all out no holds bared cartoon about none other than a weird american family and the shananagains that they get into every day. Born October 26, 1973 he quickly moved on to study animation at the Rhode Island School of Design where he obtained his Bachelor's in Fine Arts. When he left school his desires to work for Walt Disney soon left when he was hired by Cartoon Network. There he worked on such shows as Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory and Cow and Chicken! Shortly after his stint at Cartoon Network he showed The Fox Executives a short he had made called Larry and Steve and they quickly contracted Seth to produce a cartoon series based on the characters, the product was a little show called Family Guy! This move made him the youngest executive producer on television. "I spent mounts in my kitchen no sleep, no life, just drawing" and after this and a 50,000 dollar budget he gave fox the pilot of Family Guy which went over very well. To date Seth has one 4 awards 2 of which are Emmy's for his voice acting (which include quite a selection of subjects in both of his major series Family Guy: Peter, Stewiw, and Glen. And American Dad: Stan, and Roger Smith.) as well as 2 other high honors from the television world. His latest project is The Cleavland Show which is a spin off of one of the Family Guy characters. He openly states his ideas that gay right should be supported and his strong approval of the new President(whom which he donated 10,000 dollars) His new series is set to be seen in early fall and there are many people awaiting its arrival!!

Are you one of these people?

Any other Family Guy fans out there?

Any one feel any offence due to any of the jokes you have seen on Family Guy? 

Follow the "beating drums and rainbow cloaks"...

Dancing in the rain took on a whole new meaning as "druids, New Agers, and people just looking for a party" all took part in the celebration of the summer solstice at the mystical landmark of Stonehenge.

CBSNEWS.com reports that the longest day of the year was brought in by "beating drums and rainbow cloaks" worn by attendees all waiting for the mysterious moment: Saturday's 4:58 AM sunrise.

"I think it's a place of our ancestors, its a shrine to our ancestors, and I think it's very important to celebrate each season," says 60-year old Ray Smith, (also known as Rhobar, druid of Hengistbury in southern England). Smith came to the 'par-tay' prepared in multicolored skirt and blue face paint.

Not all celebrators held such strong dedication to the beauty and history of Stonehenge, many came for the "party-aspect."

"We heard about it through our really studious friend but we're gonna come and get drunk. We're halfway gone right now," said 21-year old Minnesota student, Alison Newcomber.

So. Which is it for you? Celebration of your rich past or purely reason to party? (Or...simply incentive to stay up later watching TiVo'd episodes of SNL with some popcorn? Hey...the night is longer, afterall!)
