Congrats to Joe and Barrett
Joe and Barrett are the greatest people I have met and I am so excited for them. I just had to share.

There's officially a new kid on the block: Former boy band singer and Dancing with the Stars contestant Joey McIntyre and his wife Barrett welcomed a son on Tuesday in L.A., his rep confirms exclusively to PEOPLE. "The family is happy and healthy," according to McIntyre's rep, who says the new parents are still deciding on a name. "Everyone's doing well and they're excited he made it here in time for Thanksgiving."The 7 lb. 12 oz. baby boy is the first child for the new father, who has nothing but admiration for his wife of four years. "My wife is a rock star!" McIntyre tells PEOPLE. McIntyre, 34, and his wife, 29, found out they were expanding their family on St. Patrick’s Day, and later announced it on his Web site. "Being an Irish guy that's a good luck charm! " McIntyre told PEOPLE in June.
Joey McIntyre and his wife Barrett have named their son Griffin Thomas McIntyre, PEOPLE has confirmed. The couple welcomed the new kid on the block Wednesday, but the former boybander was admittedly anxious when PEOPLE caught up with him Nov. 15 at the Cedars-Sinai Board of Governors annual Road to a Cure Gala in Beverly Hills. "I'm just blessed, you know, absolutely blessed and, you know, life is the biggest blessing of all and you know there's no end to it. Being a dad, I can't wait," McIntyre, 34, said.As for advice he and his wife, 29, are receiving, he added, "A lot of people just say, 'Listen, you know I could tell you a million different things, but you have to learn it on your own,' which makes a lot of sense." One thing they did on their own was a travel-themed nursery for young Griffin – but not too over the top, he described. "There's a picture of a plane, there's a picture of a train ... I like the sense of travel. ... I've had the fortune of traveling a lot, and then going around the world and learning different cultures and people, and I think if we all had the chance to do that, it would be a better world. So, I hope my son does that."

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
I could not have said it better myself...The One Thanksgiving Song...by Joe McIntyre
Other than that all is well. The restaurant is closed on Thanksgiving so that's very nice. Unfortunately all my friends are out of town as well LOL...I heard Denny's serves some great Turkey though LOL
Since recently I have an annual pass for SeaWorld and I have been visiting the dolphins every morning now. There's this one area at SeaWorld where you have the opportunity to feed and interact with dolphins. If you are there just after the park opens the dolphins are very playful. As a result I have been able to pet the dolphins every morning now. This morning they were extra playful however. 5 dolphins came up to me at the same time. 2 of them kept coming back and kept playfully biting my hand. And one of the two even swam up on a ledge and just kept lying there in front of me waiting to be petted. So I stroked his flipper and his side and when I stopped he looked back as if he wanted to say "Don't stop now". He kept lying there for about 5 minutes and that was so awesome. I did get a lot of attention from trainers as well because apparently it is very odd that this happens and that they keep coming back to one person. It was very cool. Whenever I am off from work I will definitely keep coming back to SeaWorld early in the mornings because that is so worth it.
This is how close they can get...

Time for an update
It's been too long and a lot has changed the past couple of months.
I moved from Los Angeles to Orlando, FL a while ago. Los Angeles was great, but Orlando is where my home is. I met a lot of nice people in Los Angeles with whom I will definitely keep in touch, heck I even lived about 5 blocks away from Joe Mac, an artist that I really admire and have since I was little. I could definitely never have imaged that when I was younger LOL. Still that could not keep me in L.A.
Like I said Los Angeles was great and I will definitely miss some aspects of the city such as my weekly walks thru Hancock Park (at least the area close to where I lived) to look at the very nice houses that I'd never be able to afford LOL. Or walking to the Hollywood and Highland Center next to the Kodak Center. Meeting celebrities that came to the movie theater I worked at and realizing that most of them are so normal, just like us, and so very friendly. But then again I am not easily star struck (except maybe if I meet Joe Mac face to face LOL) so maybe that has a great deal to do with it.
It's really good to be back in Orlando again and to live in an actual 1 bedroom apartment again oppossed to my small studio near Hollywood. Yeah I can't wait to get my career and live started here in Orlando. It's good to be home again.
