CSI Miami vs. Dexter - A visit of Miami Florida

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Airing on the CBS network, one of the most popular series in the U.S., CSI Miami stands for Crime Scene Investigation Miami. The show depicts a team of forensic scientists in action solving murders after murders using to do so the most advanced available technology. This TV show has become very popular throughout the years, and one of the reasons is, of course, David Caruso’s performance as Horacio Cane. David Caruso’s performance has been mocked all over the world. Even Jim Carrey did his interpretation at Dave Letterman’s Late Show. Apart from all, I have to tell show I love the show, even when sometimes it is completely irrelevant to Miami, Florida.

If you have seen the show, you already know its features views of Miami Beach’s most upscale buildings. Besides, all crimes take place at the hottest Miami night clubs, Miami hotels such as the Delano Hotel Pool, and tropical Miami luxury homes. All this is just one part of Miami, and perhaps the most important since is the one keeping Miami tourism alive. Actually, there is nothing better that having money and been in Miami because this way people can truly experience or even visiting Miami the “CSI Miami’s style.” With enough resources you will be able to charter a Miami boat to enjoy our fantastic waters when on vacations in Miami. Additionally, you will be able to enjoy fine dining and definitely the best of Miami nightlife at the most high-end South Beach nightclubs and Miami hotels. If you are a visitor, renting a luxury car in Miami is pretty easy… you can even rent a Hummer H2, Horacio Cane’s vehicle on CSI Miami.

Afterwards, this over the top Miami’s lifestyle is just a little part of the City of Miami. In fact, there a less popular TV show that features the city of Miami as a star in a more real way. Dexter, Based on Jeff Lindsay’s novels Darkly Dreaming Dexter and Dearly Devoted Dexter, is a TV show about a forensic blood spatter expert for the Miami Dade Police Department that hunts down people who have escaped justice and makes sure they don’t get away with a crime again. Dexter is a serial killer of serial killers. Making the point Dexter, which also airs on CBS, show a more low-key human side of Miami. With views of Latin suburbs and Cuban café places, Dexter shows Miami as Miami’s residents truly know it.

Is Jason Taylor out of Miami Dolphins? - Miami Dolphins News

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Early this week a controversy evolving Miami Dolphins’ Jason Taylor emerged. It seems the soon to be ex-NFL player wants to slow down his football career in order to pursue an acting career. Taylor recently said to the media that he still wanted to play football, but no more with the Miami Dolphins.

Jason Taylor participated in the last season of the popular TV “Dancing with the Stars” where he displayed a bit of charisma. His sudden popularity might be the reason why Taylor is so into pursuing an acting career using “Dancing with the Stars” as a platform.

It is still unknown if Taylor is out of the Miami Dolphins. However, we do know he isn’t participating in Miami’s off-season workout program. It seems like taking acting classes and auditions is time-consuming; therefore, Taylor’s scheduled is pretty tied.

Afterwards, Taylor is facing a difficult choice. He can continue his pursuit of the Super Bowl ring that has eluded him through 11 standout NFL seasons, or can retire to take advantage of his popularity in Hollywood from his “Dancing with the Stars” appearances.
