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!

You just hope that it lasts…” – Drake, Lust For Life (So Far Gone)

I will be turning a ripe age of 28 this November…2 years till the date that most look at as being a milestone. I have yet to turn 30, so I can only speak of how it is to turn 28, of course while I am still 27! As I have gotten older time has been playing tricks on me, years turn into what feel like hours…it is as though today is the past. But, I do not say this to say that it is over by any means. If today is the past then we are always having a new beginning.
I previously had a post on my blog: No Excuses… which featured a video from Michael Jordon (MJ). Michael Jordan was recently inducted to the Basketball Hall of Fame. In an interview he did with Michael Wilbom on ESPN, MJ was asked why was this induction, that for anyone else would be symbolic, something he wouldn’t want to have. His response was that he felt as though it was something so finite, the end of something. As we go from summer to fall and inevitably into winter, we must remember that there will be a spring (Global Warming is for another discussion). Would the dream of immortality lose its luster if there were never an end?
I have watched movies where the main character feels as though he can write his life better than “the higher power”. But, what ends up happening is he rewrites his life by filling it with only pleasure, no pain. In the end he is worse off, having gone through no struggle, no opportunity to appreciate the life he was granted. Could you make the choice for you to lose a father at a young age or watch your child suffer through leukemia? There are a number of terrible things that can and do happen in people’s lives, but I believe it is that will to conquer that is innate in everyone that truly helps us all grow.
