Taking some time to finally update the blog. December’s been a really busy month, but everything has been extremely productive. Our new project should be launching very very soon. The major change this month was to move our office to a more productive environment. I foresee that our work habit and productivity level will be optimal at the new spot. Why? Less distractions. I love my boys but it’s hard to work with friends, especially when other friends stop by and say what’s up.

It’s no secret that 2009 was a very fun year. Too fun. Now we’re making up for lost time by working about 14 hours a day. It starts taking a toll on you mentally and physically a bit but I like what I do so it’s not that bad. If I hated my job, well, I wouldn’t be doing it. Life’s short so you gotta do what makes you happy.

Basketball season is coming up and that’s always fun. I love basketball. I love being on the court, completely focused on the game, and taking my mind off other things. It’s a great way to let off steam and get your mind right. Honestly, there’s nothing like the feeling of hitting a nice 3 pointer. Doesn’t matter how many times I do it – it feels great every time. Last year I had a great game where I made 4 3 pointers and they gave me player of the week. That was the shit! I was on fire that day….felt great. This season I look forward to working on my ball handling skills and helping my team get to the playoffs. I know we can do it, but we have to practice. With everyone being so busy, it will be interesting to see how our bodies respond to limited practice time. I hope we can make the mental adjustments to make up for it.

This time is pretty much my favorite time of the year. College football bowl games. NFL wraps up with the Super Tazon, as they say on the mexican channels, just around the corner. Best of all: NBA basketball! This year my Lakers are playing great, but we have had a favorable home schedule. It will be interesting to see how they do on the road. So far they’ve held up but we did lose to Utah. Go lakers….

I hope next year I can have more free time to do new things. I want to learn to play an instrument. I want to travel more. I’d also like to do more activities that connect me with nature, such as camping. I’d like to follow all my passions, even the ones that are not too popular. I’ve been following the Zeitgeist Movement for a few months now and would like to see if I could contribute to it in any way.

Time to get back to work. Make it a great day friends. Remember to follow your passions, no matter what they are. Passion is fuel to the fire of success. Money will follow. Money’s not all that important anyway. Don’t get me wrong, we all need it to live, but money doesn’t give you happiness. So find that happiness and don’t let it get away.

Here’s to life, love, and all the wonderful things this world has to offer.
