I wonder…22010

“And I wonder if you know
What it means to find dreams…”
The growth of one’s life can be measured in multiple ways, but for the purposes of this discussion I would like to highlight one metric: DREAMS!

When I was a kid, I had all sorts of dreams. Some of them I forgot, some of them transformed while others I grew out of. One of them was to fall in love with a person who I could share my life with…Nytimes.

So as we begin our lives together, I am not disillusioned that there will be good and trying times ahead, but with as fast as our vows went so can life. And I in this short existence we have labeled life, I have 1 question for you…

“You ever wonder what it all really mean
You wonder if you’ll ever find your dreams?
~ Kayne West, I Wonder”
I have and she has a name: Christy Nixon!!!

NOTE: The inside joke that occurred during the ceremony was about the presentation of the vows. I decided to write my vows in a note (in High School we use to pass notes to eachother, folded up in a special way). The night before the wedding, I spoke with Christy and until this moment we had not discussed any details about our vows. But tonight she told me how she originally wanted to write her vows on a note as we did in high school, but decided to do it differently on the day of. What is interesting, she called me only 15 minutes after I shared the details of my plan with a good friend of mine. Who I used at the wedding as my witness to this idea not being STOLEN!

DROID

Yes people you are reading the headline correctly, I have switched over to the new Motorola Droid on Verizon! I have left my blackberry in the dust. Now, I do not believe this phone is better than the upcoming Nexus One but for a loyal Verizon customer...I am happy. I originally wanted to go with the Eris, but based on a friends account of the poor battery life, I felt that the upgrade to 2.0.1 was worth the dive. For me the droid make more sense since it is linked to google (I am a google services guy) and everything pretty much just WORKED!

Anyway, to help some of you out there with the droid are the following 2 links:

A New Decade...

As we go into the New Year…no, the New Decade, I wanted to just wish everyone a safe and happy night. There was so much that happened in 2009, that I must say I am excited for 2010. As I began 2009, this time last year, I had a post that spoke to my excitement for the New Year. But, its not just any new year but we are entering a new decade. I remember 1999 as being a time of beginnings as well, but for some reason I have to say we ALL haven’t seen/experienced anything yet. 2010…mark it down everyone; I certainly will be with my blog.

I will know this year as the year of DOING IT RIGHT!

Lebron vs Knicks

November 6th 2009 was a pretty good day in NYC. Android has landed on the Verizon network...something I have been waiting for, for a VERY long time. No, I did not get the Motorola Droid or the HTC Eris. I am waiting to see if the Eris gets Android 2.0 before making the dive, but I have to say I am very excited about getting on the android OS.

Other than that, Lebron has landed on the Knicks. His only trip to MSG this season and I was in attendance (thanks to my brother Glen) to watch the man do his thing. I was there with my brother and it was one star-studded event. Since the Yankees won the World Series just a few days before, the big stars were in attendance to get their just desserts. This was along with Chris Rock, Jay-Z, Larry Johnson and other big name people to see what “could” be after the summer of 2010.

There is much discussion of whether Lebron will come to New York, which I think will be great for him and the Knicks. The Knicks will pay him whatever he wants, players will want to come to the Knicks not only for Lebron, but because it is New York and Lebron will be able to grow his brand. The Knicks return to their dominance and all will be right in the world once again! Well Ill let you ponder such things, but enjoy the view (taken with a crappy phone) and video (also from a crappy camera phone). Android, soon enough!

Fifa 10 Going Against The World

As the title of the blog mentions, this is Random Lives coming at you 24x7! My post today is of a personal nature. One of my favorite teams in the world is Chelsea (I got hooked on them for two reasons: Didier Yves Drogba Tébily & José Mourinho). Moreno (loved how he was always in a long black coat and his team could be up 20 nil and is expressionless -classic) is no longer there, but I have loved the team ever since.

Anyway, I recently got the game Fifa 10 and even though my friends don’t seem to love it (I play online all alone now, since they all have kept their Fifa 09 games for PS3) as much as I do, I have to say I enjoy the game much more this year. A feature, not new, I am beginning to explore more is the online integration. Up to the game release I was watching fifa earth and EVERYONE around the globe was talking about it. Now that it is out, people are still talking about it. What is even cooler is Fifa Earth -- no words, just check it out!

Below are two of the goals I uploaded from my gameplay, one in Fifa 10 (Chelsea game My Live Season –redemption for the game they lost to Aston Villa recently) and one from Fifa 09 (Brasil – enough said). If you love football (I know which one I am talking about), have a PS3 and purchased Fifa 10 – I am ready anytime…to WIN!
