Moving the Blog to Wordpress



Hi Friends,

I have recently moved over to a WordPress blog.  I am hoping it will be an advantageous move for The Desiree Show.  My main objective has always been to cultivate the blog into a multi media platform to include audio interviews, video packages words and photos.

I hope you will join me The Desiree SHOW new blog.



The first piece went live on October 12, 2015 a quick piece on MNF just before San Diego hosted Pittsburg, including Chargers locker room interviews, words and photos, link is above.

Warm thanks to you all!!

DON PENDLETON GEOMETRY AND LIGHT SHOW ROCKED


Don Pendleton's Geometry and Light Show Rocked! 


Phenomenal night at Artists Republic for Don Pendleton's Geometry and Light Show on Saturday. Guests we're able to see his premier Vans signature shoes along with a new body of work from the Grammy winning artist.


Don also added a group of artists to his show, including long time friend Todd Francis, Natas Kaupas, Ferris Plock, Jim Houser and Michael Sieben.


A filled gallery of attendees included the man of the hour, Todd Francis, Jose Cerda, the Kingman family, Phil and An from France, children and many more.  
Sean Cliver capped off a triple city art show extravaganza coming in for the finale from Comic Con to boot and was able to finally meet Pendleton in person, surprisingly for the first time. 



Dope tunes by Brian Bent and his daughter Esther, AKA Bent Duo, they rocked the house with a sound taking me back to a mix of Lux Interior meets Ian Mackaye meets beatnik surf, they were awesome!  Definitely keep an eye out to see when and where their jammin' next. 






Congrats on another phenomenal show to good true friend Don and to Torrey of Artist Republic. 





Definitely worth a trip to Laguna to check it out, show runs thru August 16th Pacific Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, CA.

Meet Wildcat Nose Tackle DJ Ingram

Meet Wildcat nose tackle DJ Ingram aka Divonte Ingram
That is in case you don't know who this powerhouse is on or off the field; the El Camino senior brings it, not only on the turf, but also through his example in unfavorable times. In a 4–3 defensive set, nose tackles are rather quick and supposed to "shoot the 'A gap' and beat the center and very likely the weak-side or pulling guard into the backfield.  Illustrating exactly what Divonte is doing and what we all are praying for!

Mid November, his senior year on the field came to a halt or if you know DJ, I should say pause, he was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) a very rare form of cancer for someone his age.  Life drastically changed from the line to aggressive chemotherapy and the confines of a hospital.

What followed, a community that embraced the 17 year old;  blood drives, prayers, Chargers player visits, an overwhelming of love from not just Oceanside, but one that stretched throughout high schools and towns all the way through the North County and into San Diego, even nationally. A flanking of well wishes, prayers, PMA, support and aide.  He impacted us all, even Silver Pigskin finalist, Frank Buncom IV, used his interview with KUSI to speak of the need and helped with starting a fund to help him through Mission Federal Credit Union, under the name of “Divante “DJ” Ingram, AML fund”.
“Sometimes you’ve got to get the spotlight shined on you in order to pass it on to some other people who really need it,” said Buncom. “This format allowed me to get my message broadcast out, but it was less about my commitment and more about DJ Ingram. I wanted to shine a light on him.”
Dreams of UCLA on his radar, but all DJ wants is to get back to ECHS, he is planning to go to Palomar to play with the intent to become a Bruin in the future.  Obvious love for football and hoops, a former center for the Rough Riders, but he’s quite an engineer as well. With more hurdles to overcome his selflessness shines always for the other kids in the hospital with him.  He and fellow patience are in need of blood, if your Type A or Type O, you can go donate blood for DJ at any Kaiser Blood Bank, just specify for DJ and if your not, but still want to give, your gift will help others.

The love that has showered him on his road to recovery is just an indication of how he has touched us all, and the man he is, confirming the strength, dignity and respect Divonte permeates even through this adversity. His gratitude for every tweet, text, visit, prayer, blood drive is overwhelming and just as he is overcome by the love anyone who has met him feels the same.

“He seemed to be in good spirits and really excited to meet us that day.  We were just as excited!!!
  Nick Novak, The Chargers placekicker expressed about a visit with Melvin Ingram and added,
"Athletes have many things in common, one quality for me stands out...Ingram is resilient, he's a fighter and as tough as they come.  It makes no sense that Ingram or any kids for that matter would have to deal with this kind of adversity at such a young age. I have no doubt God will be at his side throughout this process every step of the way.   My thoughts and prayers are with the Ingram’s and the El Camino high school family.”


Continued prayers and PMA DJ, we’re all rooting for you!!

NFL Wildcard Saturday

Wild Card Weekend Saturday


Who you got??  Are you ready for some football!
Both should be my favorite type of game, low scoring and defensive battles.
In the NFC the early game, Arizona goes to Carolina to Bank of America Field.
While the evening is a big rivalry division game, a repeat for the third time this season vs. the two, Baltimore flies into Pittsburgs' Heinz Field.


In the NFC, kick off at 1:20 PST #AZvsCAR
The below 500 NFC South winner (7-8-1) Carolina Panthers host
the (11-5) Arizona Cardinals, the line -6 CAR
Head to head Carolina edges over Arizona at 8-5-0
but in the post only one meeting January 10, 2009 where the
Cardinals won in NC 33-13 .


AFC North showdown for Game two, kick off at 5:15 PST #BALvsPIT
More smash mouth football and the two teams who are depict this description
more than any other in this way.
Historically Pittsburg leads head to head over Baltimore 24-17-0, the
line -3 PIT.  41 meetings between the two, 1st meeting September 8th, 1996 Steelers took it 31-17
along with also winning the 3 post meetings in January (2002, 2009 & 2011)

The last meeting Nov 2, 2014 where Steelers annihilated the Ravens
43 -23.  When I think of this match up I always remember words from A player referencing the rivalry so strong that if a car broke down by the other team, and they saw on side of road they would leave them. AFC North comes in big this year with 3 of the 4 teams going to the post. Number 3 seed Steelers hosting the 6th seed Ravens.   Cinncinati goes into Indy to
tomorrow.

Enjoy, as I will as well as there's only so much football left and the best part starts now!
