First day of my business trip has already reminded me of the struggles with
travel. Everything from packing, driving to long term parking and to
understanding the paths to take in other international airports where a
different language is spoken and the writing on the walls (literally) are not
spelled out.
The good thing is for the most part, technology makes it very easy to recover
from a minor hiccup or lack of planning.
Currently I have a 4 hour layover in South Korea. (which I'm half way dHappy first of the Month! March 1st is here!
As I kick off March, I'm getting ready to head off to Japan on a business trip.
I'm excited to go as it will be a very productive trip. I'll get to meet some
very smart people (core engineers) and discuss next generation goodies. Nothing
I can share here, but for sure my experiences which will be brought to you by
the company of my travel gear:
* A heavy weight 15 inch Mac Book Pro!
* First generation pixel
* A tough Tule backpack
* An Anker powThe idea of taking action in ones life is taken for granted by some. It is very
easy to declare an endeavor or decide to do something but most of us will not
comply with the simple operation of doing. We have great ideas, yet we have very
little follow up.One thing is certain; we are on earth for a limited amount of
time.
A quote that comes to mind is from Jack London:
> "The proper function of man is to live, not to exist"
In my opinion, Jake was on point as this makes a whole lot of sense An experience that I will never forget. Heading to a remote location in Selfoss
to watch the northern lights with my pregnant wife and son. Knowing that it
would be a hit or miss on wether or not it would be possible to see them made me
feel nervous, anxious and excited all at the same time. We walked up a hill for
about 150 meters and was asked to wait. No other details were given which made
me think of the the phrase: "being in the dark" which I frequently use when
given a update on rumors at One of the best travels experiences thus far was the trip to Machu Picchu. Not
only was visiting the famous ruins an experience of a lifetime, but being there
as a newly wed was something that I now appreciate more than ever. Hands down
the wedding was a celebration full of fun and laughter, but the honey moon was
something that my words are not able to describe. Today, I wanted to post a good
picture from one of my travels as I get ready to embark on my new adventure to
Iceland. I typically useLast year my wife and I decided on Iceland as our international trip for 2017. A
decision that stemmed off of the idea of traveling somewhere that is winter
like. At first we were thinking about London in December, but didn’t pull the
trigger because we just didn’t feel comfortable traveling during the holiday
when our families are expecting us to attend the various gatherings.
We ended up purchasing our typical travel book and researched the many
activities that Iceland offers during the wintePriorities are really hard to set if you don’t have a solid understanding of
what you want out of your life. You have to understand that life is a
nonstructural institution and will not allow you to freely get away with your
bad habits. Life is about evolution and change and its important to understand
this point. You have to evolve every aspect of your life. You have to do this
with the mindset that you are doing this to ensure the quality of your life
remains at a level that will allow you to To me this infamous statement which either tries to make you feel younger or
older, (depending on which sideline you stand) can be misleading and often
condescending. I see age not as a number but as a measurement of how long I have
survived since I’ve entered into this world. Grant it the first years was with a
lot of help with my parents, family and friends.
And now, every year that passes I feel that I grow and add experiences to my

What I’ve learned so far is that it can be overwhelmingly difficult... I’ve
noticed that many factors can play negative roles in hindering my progress,
consistency and time management when it comes to taking action to create new
habits to bring balance. I've come to appreciate that a balanced life doesn't
mean a perfect life. I've learned a balanced life is only balanced if we can
overcome some of the many poor deciI wish I could start this post with some influential words for you but
unfortunately I'm not there yet and because its the first post, I'm still
figuring out the scope of what I will publish on this blog. (which is why the
picture really has no meaning... it was more of an exercise in learning how to
upload images to ghost) So I ask that you bare with me in the early days...
So the topic today is New Year's:
I don’t believe a new year heals the wounds created by any of the previous years
and II never knew how much I would miss the feeling I felt in Brazil watching Mexico
beat Croatia 3-1 in the final group stage match during the 2014 World Cup. As I
go though my pictures, the image of the mostly empty stadium brings a nostalgia
that reminds me why I love soccer so much. It reinforces why I spend so many
hours thinking about it, learning about it, and even at 35, playing it. Soccer
is an emotional journey and a soccer stadium only amplifies the emotion. It
