Goodbye Hollywood, I'm off to The Daytona 500!


I look so short without heels on!
Yes, I boycotted the Oscars. Just like I boycotted the NFL, the Grammys, and the Screen Actors Guild Awards. I refuse to watch any show which chooses to use its platform for anything other than its intended purpose: entertain everyone while patting themselves on the back for a job well-done. They've all gone political.

Instead, I chose to spend some time with Charles at the Daytona 500 race. I had so much fun and I didn't have to sit around listening to a bunch of Hollywood elites bashing our country and our president. Thank goodness for NASCAR. :P

Unlike these awards shows, I've never even watched a NASCAR race on television, so this was a novelty for me to actually BE there in the stands, taking photos, filming flybys, and drinking beer. Talk about stress-free living and camaraderie. Quit whining and get out there and have some fun with your fellow Americans, and quit listening to this consistent message in the media that everything is going to hell.

You know what? The Daytona 500 sold out of seats this year. Can you say that about any NFL games, including the Super Bowl? I heard the Oscars had the lowest ratings since 2008. Ouch.

Enjoy the photos, and leave me some comments. All are welcome, just be kind to each other!


We had just got on the tractor trolley that took us to the buses.



I have a camera that likes to be creative and it spit this out.

Getting ready to enter the Daytona International Speedway
stadium for the first time ever.

And here we are!

This is what sold out looks like. THIS is living life and not
whining about politics. Don't give yourself ulcers!

Creative Zoom this is called. Love it.




Waiting to see shit talking and fighting, but it never happened.




One of the better close up photos I took.










Excited crowd.




It was hard to capture photos this clear
when the cars were going so fast!

The side of the track where most of the crashes happened.




We had seats high enough, we could see the backside.



Pit stops were amazing!

















My guy, Keselowski in the Miller Lite car! lol







Sun has gone done and we are in the shade....cool out.



The blimp is last because that's when it showed up! Last.
