To let me viewers get to know me better, I have decided to answer 40 random questions. As I continue the Glimpse Into My Life series, I figured it would also be good to give you even more insight into my thoughts and life.
So here we go…

Guess Who’s Back
I’ll keep this brief… A lot is going on in my life. Awesome, great things.
I’m getting myself setup to start helping my team make podcast. At the same time, I’m getting myself ready to start my own podcast.
I’m getting the final touches together to start this project.
More to come shortly…

New Year, New Goals…
Dear Readers:
I know I haven’t been staying up-to-date on my blog. A few things in life has changed over the past few months, and it has made it difficult to have a few moments to keep this blog updated.
What’s changed: A new career path. I finally left a job that I didn’t feel appreciated at… or rather… a job that I felt was becoming routine and doing a position that I wasn’t hired to do. I am now working for AT&T. This is a big move, but a very good move, for me. I have always enjoyed electronics, especially mobile electronics, and now I can help customers with theirs.
For this new year, I have decided to make some goals… as I don’t believe in resolutions, I believe in making goals. Below will be a list of goals that I would like to accomplish this year… we will call it… hmmm… let’s say: “The 2014 Bucket” goals list. I’m going to focus on a lot of miner things, as one major goal will be harder to approach. So here it is…
- Exercise. I am currently weighing 204. I want to be around 190-200, with less than 13% body fat. I am around 25-30% body fat now.
- Read. I currently read a lot of tech information online, and I stay up-to-date with politics, however; I don’t get the chance to read many books. I would like to change that this year. I am going to try to shoot for a book every two months (a small goal of 6 books this year, but it gives me a starting point), and also continue reading my tech/politics news too.
- Anger Management. I feel that I can get snappy at times. I do know that I am hard-headed, and I can be stubborn at times… This year I am going to focus on taking a deep breath and find a solution to the problem before freaking out. Over the years, I have gotten better, but I still find myself get angry at times.
- Eating Habits. (this goes with exercise) I need to start eating healthier. I have noticed myself stopping at McDonalds more frequently, and eating unhealthy food sold at the mall. I need to get myself back on fruit/vegetables, and I need to start eating smaller meals throughout the day.
- Thoughts. I feel this goes with Anger Management. I need to start sharing my thoughts on my blog more. This blog allows me to share my opinions and to talk about my life’s events. Sharing is a great way to decrease the stress in your life.
- Lastly… I want to be the man that my future Mrs. deserves. I want to be a man that she can count on and will come through for her.
I will look at these goals again mid-year and at the end of the year. If you have any tricks or tips, or would just like to give some words of encouragement, I would appreciate it
Topics of Discussion…
I have gotten to a point where I am not sure where to start taking my blog posting stories to. So… I am asking my readers to help provide some talking points that you are interested in.
Comment to leave some topic suggestions, and we will go from there.
Thanks!

The World Under My Feet…
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
I sometimes have to remind myself that everything happens for a reason. I sometimes need to look up and say “Thank You”.
The events that have happened in my life over the past year are nothing sort of a blessing. My life has been flipped up-side down and right-side up, and I couldn’t be more thankful.
My new job that I recently started is going to be an amazing company to work for. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for me with this company.
“You know it’s real when you are who you think you are…”
It’s Amazing…

Google Glass: Update…
So I was able to purchase my Google Glass: Explorer Edition the other day…
However… I had to turn it down. As much as I would like to have this… the cost was what turned me away. I didn’t mind saving up the $1600 to get this product. I didn’t mind saving up the $1600 to be a beta tester of this product. The money for the product, at first, didn’t really mean much to me. What bothered me was going to get the Google Glass…
Google expected me to fly out to California or to New York. Paying for the Glass was already going to cost a leg… and then paying for the airfare, back and forth, to pick them up was going to cost me an arm. Just airfare, alone, was going to run me around $600. That would be ON TOP of the cost of the Google Glass. This just started to look like a very very expensive beta project.
I was hoping Google would of included the pickup fee at no extra cost, and/or would have had the option to ship this to me. Unfortunately, I didn’t get either.
So instead of helping Google beta test Project Glass… I will have to wait til these are available to the public in a year or two. Instead… I used the money to purchase a new, much needed, laptop.
To all the folks that will have the Explorer Editions, I envy you and will be jealous. I am sad that I passed on this opportunity; however, the cost could not be justified.

Take Care Of The Golf Balls First…
Saw this on Facebook today and had to share! This lesson is amazing and also… so very truthful!

The Mayonnaise Jar
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day is not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and two cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and fills it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured it into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “YES”.
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
“Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things – God, family,
children, health, friends, and favorite passions. Things, that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the things that matter like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else — the small stuff.” he said.
“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “There is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are
important to you…” he told them.
“So… pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Worship with your family. Play with your children. Take your partner out to dinner. Spend time with good friends. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the dripping tap. Take care of the golf balls first — the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled and said, “I’m glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.”
