Another great quote

2009-01-14T11:38:00.000-05:00

"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both."

~James A. Michener

The Secret

2008-12-19T23:23:00.006-05:00

I just finished watching The Secret with Aga. It's a definite must see for everyone. I've studies personal development over the past few years and this movie re-affirms what most books and studies say. The Law of Attraction is on your side. Think about who you want to be often and what you want to accomplish and the world has a funny way of revealing you the path to your very own success.

Last week I went to see Shrek The Musical on Broadway with Aga and her sister. What an amazing show. It was so much fun, must see for everyone. The amount of work and talent that goes into putting out a broadway show is amazing. Thanks to Ewa and Manhattan International HS for hooking us up with tickets.

Can you see?

2008-11-24T14:48:00.001-05:00

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'

Worst Best Man Ever

2008-11-03T15:21:00.003-05:00

Watch the whole video...

Worst Best Man Ever @ Yahoo! Video

Can you imagine how the bride must have felt? All the months of planning, the perfect makeup and hair, all her guests watching her every move. I'm used to things going wrong at weddings. That's just how it is. Most of the wedding plans are never executed to perfection. We must adjust on the fly and make the best of every situation. A cool idea would be to get the whole bridal party in that pool and shoot some fun pictures. And I'm sure the bride would have felt a million times better knowing that she wouldn't be the only one wet ! ! !

Marathon

2008-11-03T06:48:00.002-05:00

Congratulations to all 38,000 marathon runners for having the motivation and energy to compete in this years Marathon.

The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss

2008-09-27T21:02:00.004-04:00

I love this book. It talks about changing your lifestyle, getting out of the old mentality of retirement and deferred-life plan, where you work and work and work most of your life to be able to enjoy it when you retire. I highly recommend it.
If anybody wants to borrow it after I finish reading it, just shoot me an e-mail.

Here is the description on the back cover:

"Forget the old concept of retirement and the rest of the deferred-life plan - there is no need to wait and every reason not to. Whether your dream is escaping the rat race, experiencing high-end world travel, earning a monthly five-figure income with zero management, or just living more and working less, this book is the blueprint."

Tired

2008-09-26T23:02:00.003-04:00

I'm going to head to bed soon, it's been a long day of planning out new products and services. I'm super excited about what I'm going to be offering and look forward to the near future. The website is coming along great, and it will be live very soon. Good Night ! ! !

Canon 5D Mark II

2008-09-25T10:01:00.003-04:00

Canons 5D full-frame series is getting an upgrade. Available early November of 2008. I'm looking forward to this camera. A bit on the expensive side, $2700 for body only, but well worth the money.
Here is a quick description from Canon's website.

"High Performance for High Expectation
Canon's update to the wildly popular full frame EOS 5D is here, and it's better than ever. The EOS 5D Mark II has a stunning 21.1-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor with DIGIC 4 Image Processor, a vast ISO Range of 100-6400 (expandable to ISO L: 50, H1: 12800 and H2: 25600), plus EOS technologies like Auto Lighting Optimizer and Peripheral Illumination Correction. It supports Live View shooting, Live View HD videos, and more. It can shoot up to 3.9 fps, has 9 AF points plus 6 AF assist points, a new 98% coverage viewfinder, a 3.0-inch Clear View LCD (920,000 dots/VGA) and a rugged build. Full-frame shooters rejoice!"
