New York, New York!

I'm in New York City...finally!

Randy Pausch Has Passed Away...

After a long battle with terminal pancreatic cancer, Prof. Randy Pausch Ph.D., famous for his Last Lecture at Carnegie-Melon, whom inspired a lot of people, including myself to live life as if there was no tomorrow and to appreciate life and love like everyday was your last has passed away. If there was anything that we can learn from this man who knew death was only months away once he was told of his cancer, is to live life, be happy, don't loose sleep over the little things, and most of all, love those who you love everyday like their is no tomorrow.


Dr. Randy Pausch passed away at his home on July 25th , he leaves behind a wife and four young children.

Don't Believe What You've Been Told...

My beautiful fiance, highly recommended me to see this movie, Zeitgeist I'm a big conspiracy theory and well this blows all of them all of the water. Take a look into relgion, 9/11 and our economic system. It'll make you think. It's about 2 hours long but well worth it. Link is below and it's free, lol.

Zoom Kobe IV Clear Pic

The Zoom Kobe IV, Kobe's next signature shoe has finally been shown in clear live pictures. These are the first low tops for a Kobe sig. Looks like a mix of the Kobe trainer and the Hyperdunk. Ask someone who wears their shoes casually, I can't wait for these. The ZKIV also seems to take cues from the Nike Presto.

One Step Closer...

Today I feel I'm one step closer to knowing what is truly wrong with my left knee. I was told today that I could possibly have small stress fractures in my knee. Considering what I have been told before from doctors, this sounds like it could be what is actually wrong. For the last two years I've been getting a possible tear in my ACL but the diagnosis and treatment have always came out empty. I will hopefully be getting an MRI and seeing an orthopedic surgeon sometime next week.

A New Chapter...

I haven't updated this in a long time. My life has been great, blessed really. Life after college is going good, have a summer job before actually starting my new chapter in life. Come August, I'll be in New York City with a new job and on a journey to complete my Master's Degree along with my beautiful fiance. Lately I've been reflecting on this culture I am a part of, that of the sneaker culture and have seen that their are people who really just do take things too far. It's one thing to not like an athlete, a team, etc. but it's one thing to begin to make things personal. All I know is that this isn't what the culture is suppose to be about and personally I don't care much for this aspect of it. I know I'll have people who won't like me for whatever reason due to this culture but it doesn't matter to me. Life is bigger than just leather, rubber, and shoe laces. My pride doesn't rest in a collection of material object, it rests on the accomplishments that I have succeeded in throughout my life. Those accomplishments can hardly ever be seen and aren't material themselves. It is here where my pride lies, with my career, my education, my family, my friends and the love of my life.

Graduation and an Engagement

This past weekend was one of the best weekends of my life. Saturday I had my Latino Graduation; hence the stole. Saturday night I proposed to my beautiful girlfriend, now fiance. Sunday I became the first in my family to graduate from college. That's me with my B.A. next is my Masters Degree from Columbia University.
