I was recently working on a project and noticed how my thumb drive was acting somewhat really funny. I kept seeing a Autostart.inf file as well as a Winlogon.exe file. This was really starting to irritate me as I could not initialize startup without having to go through the painful task of right clicking and opening everything. Not being at home I couldn't exactly run a proper virus scan. When I did finally run the scan i found a graybird/ trojan sitting in the back of the auto.inf file. Im not sure what it was phishing but i noticed i was getting some unusual mail traffic in the last few weeks. Funny thing is that every mail I would get was something that really spiked my interest. This trojan and bot-net that was living in my thumb drive was also sleeping dormant in my parallels partition. Ugh, no matter how much you try to evade the plague somehow it lives everywhere...

I was on my way home and decide to stop by and get one of those 6" inch tasty subs from publix. While the deli lady was fixing my sub, I happened to turn back and saw this very older gentlemen rocking back and forth. I saw he was wearing an apron and was fixing up some slices of ham with cheese on a platter. I said to myself (there's no way this old gentleman is possibly working) and he was. I was so sadden to see Don working at such an age. I stood there for a couple of minutes and decided to engage in conversation with him. Don is 92 years of age and is a world war II veteran. His wife recently passed away and cant hardly afford his house payments, as he still owes his mortgage. Don gets limited medical covered through the VA and well he just needs money and at times somebody to talk to. To tell you the truth this broke my heart. Heres a guy that fought for our country and at his third stage in his life he should be at home watching the ball game and resting on his recliner. Instead, he's working at a publix trying to make ends meat. By the time Im eighty ill be lucky if social security is still around. This is clearly an eye opening for me that the government could care less about social health care in this country. While we spend more money sending troops to fight other countries war and not take care of our own business here at home, we will continue to have more Don's in a supermarket somewhere near you. Id like to see how many congressmen have their mothers and fathers working in the Deli department.

I finally have stayed long enough to go out and get a new Car. Im not sure what I had in mind but i wanted something sexy and with Raw power. Generally for the most part I have always been a mustang type of guy. I decided to change things up a bit and go with a more conservative look as well as a more grown up scale ride. I didn't want a lexus as everybody in miami has one. Then I passed by the Infiniti dealership and all it took was one look. The minute that i sat in the car I knew it was for me, it fit just like a glove. The beautiful beige leather interior it had inside complimented the sexy exterior as well. I was able to take this bad boy out for a spin, and although I Couldn't punch it the way I wanted of liked to, I felt the power the minute I would accelerate it. I walked out of the lot a very happy man. To bad my wife is going to be the one who's gonna get to enjoy it the most though. Sure beats driving a Crumby Mazda 6 right Karen =)

On a day like this thirty years ago I was born. Not sure what festive activities I will be partaking in today, but what I do know is that I'll spend it with my family and the ones I love. Texas de Brazil seems like a good candidate but we shall see if the weather permits it. Oh yeah' I'll have to get my sister something for her birthday as well and thats the hard part. what do you get your twin sister on her birthday?

Being the Apple lover and advocate that I am you would only assume that I only carry an iphone. Turns out my job forces me to carry a Blackberry as well. I don't mind the device but when I have to lug around two laptops two phones, hard drives etc etc it becomes somewhat of a pain in the neck! sure I can opt to just carry one phone as I currently get my corporate emails through my iphone but the blackberry messenger feature is very much needed. Why cant apple have a BB messenger feature or app developed by RIM. I understand its proprietary and exclusive to RIM but im sure apple can make a negotiating deal and allow apple to make an app that supports that. one can only wish small miracles like this could happen. Until then I will continue to carry both devices.

As Im flying over the gulf coast from Dallas back to miami I realize I will nearly reach half my life term sometimes next wednesday. Im sitting out here looking at the clouds as Im listening to Alan Jackson's song "Remember when" WHat have I accomplished, what have I become who am I and where will I go next. The truth of the matter is that none of that really matter. I consider myself a good person, loving caring and all that mumbo jumbo good stuff everyone expects you to be. Im well goal oriented-a family man who lives for his soon to be wife and now god willing my unborn kid. So as it turns out I think you spend the first half of your life teaching, and educating yourself; essentially preparing yourself just to teach somebody else how to do those things all over gain. I mean i don't want to sound all philosophical on you here and all cause by far thats not my gig but think about it. I enjoy what I do carer wise and would not trade it in for anything in the world.

In my teen i dreamed about becoming a professional musician. Possibly the best one. I was heavily into Jazz, progressive jazz and bebop. Music is a very important part of my life. I breath and sleep it. Would i trade in what Im doing to play music 24 hours of the day? well the truth of the matter is yes. Want to hear something funny. I took a trip with my wife last week to the obstetrician and as the Dr was doing her sonogram and was showing us the fetus, my first immediately thought was "he looks like a sax player" Don't get me wrong, I would love for my child to become a musician and all but for no means will I become one of these parts who live out their dreams vicariously. I guess everyone has their own plans for their kids and the reality of things is just that their going to become their own person and develop their own unique identity. So why am i writing this blog? Because Im stuck in an airplane for three hours and Im venting like every other 29 year old man should as their turning thirty. ...No Im not. I realize Im all grown up and preparing myself for the next phase in life. Most of my friends by now have multiple kids and are in the stage of either being divorced or getting there shortly. I would not want that neither for me nor my wife or kid but Its scary that thats a possibility in life, or not. I like to think I have the advantage and a little bit of leverage just because I waited so long and didn't act on impulse that things should go smooth sailing from here on out. But like everything else in life nothing is certain.

What I do know is that I will try to become in my next thirty years better then what I was the last thirty. I need to. I promise to become a better man, help thy neighbor and occasionally give thy to the church. Being good is important in life, for I do believe in a little thing called karma. And have thirty years till it catches up to me.

I decided since I had a little bit more of down time (then usual at least) to start my new blog spot on here. My friend and webmaster AlinS had gone through the trouble of switching over my blog into Word Press and as usual, I just wasn't feeling it. So Im back-and with a vengeance. Trying to stay in "Sync" hasn't ben all that easy (as far as blogging is concerned for that matter). With a busy travel schedule it got more of a -When I get the time i will do it routine. But who said bloggin should be a routing right? Precisely my point. It felt more like another job that I had to do rather than a cool and fun partaking project I wanted to share with the world and friends, etc etc. So heres to my new space on the web with new shiny MacBook Pro that I got for my birthday. Stay tuned for more.

P.S I have made a promise to myself to keep occupied while Im on the plane to do these pre-scheduled events. If all goes according to plan I should have ample time to kick these out with no problem. Stay tuned for my new upcoming project that Im working on. Until then....
