Hiya kids. Long time no blog. Its been a minute and alot had transpired. Majesty had a great turn out and the gig was insane! That said, we have another gig coming up soon and the details are on my facebook page. On another similar note, I finally got a hold of a Bari sax. I had been looking for one for a long time. But like the saying goes good things come for those who wait. I was able to snatch up a German vintage silver Bari. Majesty will have a funky low A to complement them on their already funk-a fied horn section. I'm up here in Jacksonville doing a job. The downtown area is sorta cool. Enough of this improper blog rant.

P.S happy b-day Raquel you old hag. Maybe I'll show you those naked pics of your daughter one day ;)

Woke up this morning only to find my old HP Photosmart 7600 dead on the scene. she gave me a good ten year run and well, I guess it was time to retired. Iv'e been pondering the all in one HP wireless printer for quite some time. I think im going to take the plunge and go get one at this point. The real reason why i need one is to have the ability to fax. My networked scanner that i currently have in place in my room does all that jive and then some however I have never seemed to get the fax working on it.

Side note: I will be performing with Miami's legendary band Majesty this evening at Miami Lakes Cafe and grill. Come join in on the fun. Great music, hot chicks, no cover. Cant beat that.

I just got off a flight from MIA to Seattle Washington. A seven hour flight to say the least none the less. I had my movies preloaded onto my iPhone and MacBook pro however, I chose to go a different route as far as form of entertainment is concern. Gogo inflight Internet service has probably been around for about a good solid year. I tried this service still when it was in its premature stages of the game and my experience to be honest wasn't all that great. I flew Alaska airlines where the service was free. I hoped on the gogo inflight's "ssid" and off I went. If speed is what your looking for then you should probably consider not reading the remainder of this blog article. Surfing the net and grabbing email was an awesome experience. I'm not sure what designated speed they had caped per user but it was pretty zippy. Not once did I experience lag. Trying to conserve my laptops battery life, after about and hour and a half of pure surfing I decided to hop on with my iPhone. I immediately got on facebook where I was able to take picture and quickly uploaded them like it was nobodies business. I have nothing but a great review from my experience and will give this a 5 star review. Next time your on a long flight I recommend gogo Internet.

As you probably heard the new iphone4 has made its debut. I went ahead and took the plundge by purchasing Apples newly beautiful device. The phone is much slimmer then its predecessor. Purchasing the new phone left me with the old one and of course theres always that money thats being tied up. I mean, what am i suppose to do with an extra iphone. My initial thought was to hand it over to the folks over at Gazelle. They seem pretty fair and repudable. You simply tell them what you got and in what standing condition the product is in and they ship you a box. Simple as that. Gazelle offered to buy my old 16 gig iphone for 189 dollars which I thought wasent to bad. However I got impatient and curious and placed an add on Craigslist. Turns out i ended up selling the phone for $300 bucks cash.

Not to bad for a regular weekend and a little extra cash in hand.

Great parody video I found talking about the old glorious iphone. This is truly hilarious and I think your going to have the same reaction I had after I saw it.

Its been twelve hours that I have spent with the Ipad already and thought it be worthy enough for a review. As a daily power user, im usually quick to the dram whenever our favorite fruit stand pops out a new product. However this time I cant say it was the same. Our household has already four Macs and I wasent sure where this one would fit in. The truth of the matter is that this device is not to replace another device. Its simply serves as the medium to fit your daily current devices (If there is such a thing) So who needs this device? The end user thats not really a power user but rather than a casual user? My wife, who happens to be a recently converted windows user (thank god) fell in love with the device. She currently uses our macs at the house to A. Check her email B.Gossip on Facebook and C. Internet surfing and paying the bills. She fits the bill just right as a daily casual usual. She absolutely fell in love with the product and immediately adapted well to it. She loves how light it is and how slick the OS comforts and sooths her soul. While setting up the device I connected it to itunes and immediately downloaded Pages & numbers.

I bought some essential apps for her and while doing so started tweeting and checking my email and navigating the web. Infact, i caught myself doing more like writing the review that i'm typing now. Do you see where I'm going with this? The iPad was not the device that i thought would be necessarily something i would be interested in however, it integrating itself into my daily digital saturday morning routine. The battery Life is exceptionally good! and the user experience is quite easy. I believe this is exactly the way Apple inteneded this product to be. Simply integrating... even for a user like me. Not bad for a fruit stand.

It's been a long time since I haven't posted up a blog post. My son is finally here and thanks to the lord he's healthy as can be. These two and a half weeks away from corporate america have been a much needed time off. To tell you the truth (I was getting a little burned out) I'm on an airplane now and on my way to a business meeting to North Carolina. Since the birth of my son, I see things a wee bit differently. Fewer things matter, but more things have particular meanings (if that makes any sence at all) being the workaholic that I am, I am going to make a constant effort not to work during the time that I'm home. In theory, that's the way it should be. But if you want to get ahead in a corporation it is my philosophy that if I work while you sleep then that means I get more done thus making me more efficent. Sounds like a catch 22?well then it might so be it. I'm learning that, that's not neccesarily true!

In life you need a balance and that's totally true. The ting the yang, good and evil, all those sorts of things. My fmily is going to come first and as far as corporate America comes, the wy I look at it is, alot of the times, I stress for things that are far beyond my pay grade. I cant fix the structure of one whole department and quite frankly I don't get paid to do so. Balance is the key to all in life and a constant reminder to thy self Is the key to a new beginning.

Im finally on vacation and can take some time off not only to rest, but to rap up all the loose ends around the house. Baby is due next thursday and I still need a bathroom to paint. Crib will not be assembled as my mother in law seems to be very superstitious about having the crib done before hand (I know i said the same thing your thinking). My business trip to New Jersey was a nightmare and a half. Between the snow and dealing with a very weird and condescending dr. that only seem to be the beginning of the nightmare trip I had in-store coming back home. I got held up in Newark Liberty with a domino effect of canceled flights. Im gonna say this flat out. Continental Airlines just suck.

Customer service was simply the worse I have ever experienced. Newark being one of their hubs didn't help to the cause either. the way they treat their customers Im surprised they even stay in business. I ended up sleeping in the airport after the captain decided to turn the the airplane around back to the terminal, the ice was to sleek and the airplane could not take off. I spent a total of 14 hours in the airport. Im going to enjoy the next three weeks being off and more so being with my son.

I've been staying for the last two years in all Inclusive Hilton properties. I have managed to rack in total (without ever using points per stay) about a total of 277,000 points. In recent conversations with a colleague of mine, he asked if I ever gave Marriott a try. I have stayed maybe a couple of times but didn't see what all the grip was about. I've chosen to this year give my new home away from home a new design. Best part of it all is that I didn't have to pay a single cent to grab new furniture or paint the walls!

Im staying at a Marriott property right now. In fact, thats where Im creating this blog from. I truly can say and be one of the ones to attest that Marriott has far superior services than Hilton. I couldn't believe it! One thing that strikes me right of the back is how Modern and ubber geeky atmosphere their creating. The rumor is by 2011 they have turn around more than 80% of all their hotel properties to the new and design look and feel. Marriott has this new bistro where you can grab great breakfast and happy hour starts at 5:00pm till 10:00pm.

Their definitely catering as well to the business traveler. They understand the need and demand of certain things like for example. The Computers with printers right by the hotel (their calling those the Ticket airline stations) Then they got the OLED big screen where you can touch for on demand news, traffic, weather and of course CNN. Im very impressed with the new look and happy I made the right decision right at the beginning of the year. Heres to happier and new times from my a Marriott resort my new work /home sponsored crib.

I was privileged enough to recently visit Ottawa, Canada on my latest business trip. For quite some time now (twenty years to be exact) I have been talking about how I would like to go to this wonderful country. Having family there, I have heard nothing but great stuff and the privileges that come by being a Canadian citizen. From the minute that I got off the plane I felt a sense of respect and humbleness, and at the same time I felt at home. Canadian are very much so polite individuals. I checked into my hotel and The front desk concierge spoke three languages; yes three languages.

The next morning as I walked through the streets of Ottawa, I literally lost count of how many times I heard good morning and good day. It’s little things like this that tickle my fancy. The city is also really clean and organized in such a way-from the airport to the department stores. I really came back with a positive note and a new mind set in potential living terms. Canada I would say is definitely within my next twenty year margin as one of the possible cities that I would relocate my family to. I’d say its probably a good place to raise kids as well. Im going home today and plant the seed to my wife and hopefully she takes a small interest to the possible Idea of us moving there in the near future. After all, I have twenty years to convince her eh.
