Times are changing and people whom you used to follow as a kid are starting to die. Is this a sign that time is passing and you are getting old? Everyone’s day will eventually come. This just reminds me of the fast and swift passage of time.

I started to listen to Michael Jackson since 1990 and I have almost all his records. Listening to his music reminds me of my younger days and brings out some good memories. I will never forget him. Rest in Peace Michael.

No Comments on Venture Capitalists – What they will never tell you.

I saw this on TechCrunch and felt the need to share it on my blog. I wonder what do u call the guy with all the ideas and no money?

House hunting

I have been looking for a house for apprx two months now. Did not know how hard this would be. I have lost a few good offers for underbidding. Now I know better. I am still searching for the bargains. They are still out there. Best advise I got so far from a Realtor (that speaking at the First time owners class) is: “dont fall in love with any one home” because there are so many out there that you can fall in love with the next one just as easily. But, the other message I am drawing from this is that it could also be difficult to get that great low-priced house due to the multiple offers, that you can be badly disappointed.

An amputee goes for Boston Marathon record! Click Here. I have great admiration for people with this determination. I am hoping to do a marathon one day. Right now I am barely up to 4 miles (at 34mins)..only 22 miles left for the NYC marathon!

Lets see.. I am doing an average of 8.5M/m. I will shoot for a pace of 8.3 M/m so I can maybe finish the 26 mile marathon in a little under 4 hrs if I find the energy to dash at the last minute hehe. Trying to accomplish this before I turn 36.

No Comments on iPhone Apps that have help on my quest for data control

Applications that I have come accross that have really help me make some sence out of my unorganized data:

FastContacts
Memengo
Evernote
Mint

I will leave you to go and research these on your own and see how they can help you get organized. I will list others as I continue my search for Zen.

The Tax man is coming!

I just finished my taxes and learned that the chances the IRS will select your return for an Audit increases by three if you have a Schedule C. There goes my business. I decided to leave it out since I have not kept very good records of my expenses and car miles. I need to get organized. Thinking of a way I can accomplish this as I write.
