Seasons of Change

Microsoft just bought our company. Read it here. Not much is going to change probably... but people in the office area already making lists and notations of how it's going to suck working for Microsoft. I honestly don't have any qualms about it, just don't take away my balcony or my free Starbucks. Then we are cool. One developer cleverly made this new logo:



It's going to be a tumultuous two weeks so I'm using the blog to zen myself out. Today on the LIRR (yes, I'll be taking the Long Island Railroad again..) I realized how much I miss Italy. I don't say this just because I miss the travel, but I really miss the food, the people, the land, etc.

I always stand in awe of those people that just drop everything and live in Europe for a few years. I just don't have the fortitude to do something like that. I guess more than anything it's a financial thing. Florence is the only place you can get this steak:






Bistecca Fiorentina... Tuscan cows that are raised specifically for this amazing steak that still makes me cry because it was so good.

It has begun

It's hard to keep up with blogging because.. well.. there's just not enough time in the day. Especially when your day's time is sucked up by numbing nothingness and your nights are sold to the TV/TiVo demon.

I plan to use this blog as a necessary outlet of my 20-something angst. It's quite different from teenage angst where it's not overrun by hormones or illogical pursuits of truth and happiness. It's quite different.

The 20-something angst (to me) is defined by self actualization, discovering motivations, fulfilling higher needs and of course a complete audit of your life up till the present.

This is going to be very different from Xanga. Xanga is a microcosm of your 1st and 2nd degree of separation friends that comment and give eprops and use for updates (or more cynically put stalking) on others' lives. I intend this blog to be really about me and possibly a sentence or two of wisdom that might inspire a young one to invent and create the next gen "it" product.

This blog will probably be very unpopular and boring... basically me during 5th grade lunch... so I hope to entice the visually motivated readers with pictures and videos of my life, travels, and random things I see and must record forever.



This being one of them... took me 4 seconds to recover from this seeing this sunset on the Punta Cana Beach
