V-Correspondent - Javier Colon

Javier Colon's blog

This soulful pop singer's father worked at a radio station, immersing his son in music from an early age; by 13, Javier was writing his own songs. His young talent led to touring gigs and even a contract with Capitol Records, but his career never really took off. Now, the devoted husband and father of two is taking a final shot at pursing his musical dreams before leaving music behind to support his family.

Poker Nights

We have a lot of time to kill in the hotel some days. I've been going to the gym and hanging out with the other artists, but that only occupies a part of the day. We all have been stuck in the hotel for a while and are bored out of our minds.

Today, Curtis and I decided to go out on a hunt for a poker chip set. Thanks to Rite Aid, we succeeded. I love poker. It's a great way to pass the time when you are on the road. We got a game going tonight that included Patrick, Justin, Curtis, Tje, Tim and myself. It was awesome! I did happen to win the first night but lost the next four.
