Not much has been going on this year. It has been a calm and uneventful year so far. I keep coming up with post I want to do but never get to them. Maybe this weekend.
Only thing I accomplished is a new website design using WordPress : miamitaekwndofederation.com. Let me know what you think.

Rochester sports teams
Rochester is known as one of the biggest minor league markets for sports. After seeing the Rochester Lancers I will have seen all of the sports teams here. I have seen the Raiders (arena football), Rhinos (Soccer), Amerks (hockey), Razor Sharks (basketball), Red Wings (baseball), and Knight hawks (indoor lacrosse). The only team I didn't see was the Lacrosse team. They moved them before I got to see them but I think they maybe being replaced. 
My Niece via Skype
She is quickly approaching two. I love her so much. I just got off of Skype with her. She wanted me to watch an episode of Dora with her so I did. Our relationship has primarily been through Skype. I try to talk to her everyday. It is amazing how fast she is growing up. Thanks to Skype I get to see it. Although it is not as good as in person it will have to do for now. I am surprised I don't write more blogs about her. Well that is all for now.
Dell E310
Dell E 310 you have treated me well over the years. We spent many long nights doing case studies and designing websites. You have worked fairly flawlessly through out those years. You came to me at an outstanding Christmas sale discount with many free upgrades. You came to me at a time of need as my laptop had been stolen. I will miss you. I hope your next owner will enjoy you just as much and the money earned from selling you will go toward another great computer. So fair well my Dell E310.
Hello Toshiba laptop. You are welcome to my family of gadgets & gizmos. You two have come to me in a time of need for a new windows machine & at a clearance price. You have big shoes to fill with your smaller sleeker shell. I believe you can do it. You have gotten off to a food start my PC. May our journey together be long.

Happy New Year?
The last few days have been up and down. I switch between being grateful for what I have and disappointed at where I am in life.
I have a lot to be thankful for. I have a good job with great employees, a awesome family, an education, my health and many of the small luxuries we take for granted plus some.
I also have alway had high expectations of myself. I have always exceeded those expectations. I am getting bored with my job, Rochester, and sacrificing so much for what has seemed like nothing. I am still single and not sure I want to be in a relationship.
Reflecting on 2011 makes me wonder what progress I even made. I guess it is all about how you look at it. I did many things in 2011. None of which I planned and didn't do anything I had planned. Maybe that is what I take away from 2011. To flow with life. That life doesn't always go as planned (hardly ever).
So here I am looking at a new year with new challenges, new goals, new desires. I may just be entering a new phase in my life. It is time for me to continue to move forward in my life pursuits but remember to enjoy the little things along the way.
Happy New Year! I hope you all take this time to reflect on your life journey. Best of wishes on that journey this year and beyond.

Tebow Time
I went to the Buffalo Vs. Denver game to see Tim Tebow take on the Bills Christmas Eve (Just seemed right). I have been trying to go to a game all year but it kept falling through. I found friend to go with and went for it. I got seats five rows from the field. It was nice because it has been unseasonably warm for western New York.
When I got to Ralph Wilson Stadium I was surprised to see what I saw. The Stadium looked like a minor league baseball stadium not a NFL stadium. Even the "nose bleeds" where not bad. I was very happy to see my seat had been so close.
The game started off awesome. I got to see Tim score a rushing touchdown (I started him for my Fantasy Football team to add a little excitement). It seemed like through out the game most of the touchdowns had been scored in the end zone I was next to. All four of Tebow touchdowns had been scored in our endzone (the two to his team and the 2 pick sixes) and a punt return for a TD by the Bills.
We sat on the Bills side of the Stadium. When the game first kicked off the stadium was fairly empty. The bills fans next to us where funny. They heckled the Bills players every time they messed up. One guy said man this guy is going to miss this field goal because it is to easy of a kick. Well the kick was no good. The Bills' kicker missed another field goal after that also. The center kept messing up the snap and the guys kept screaming at the center. It was pretty funny. By this time the Stadium had filled up some.
However, things got nasty with some other Bills' fans when they saw a Broncos' fan in the row in front of them. At first it was funny. Chanting White cargo pants (the guy was wearing white snowboarding pants- it was cold). The Bronco fan didn't pay much attention to them. It got nasty once they wouldn't stop. hey also started calling the kid names and attacking hi directly. The usher asked them to stop once but they continued. Other Bills fans in the area felt bad and stuck up for him to no avail. I ended up texting security. A few of them had left before security got down to the area (to use the restroom). The ones that had been around got kicked out when they came down. When the other fans came back the (around the time TIm through his first pick six) they continued to go in on the kid and took his friends hat.
I snapped and told them to "SHUT THE FUCK UP". The girls looked at me and "oh what is your deal". THey started to talk trash to me but they stopped quickly (maybe they noticed I wasn't going to take that crap). I also showed them my Falcons jersey. I felt bad because my friend with me had to see all that. They calmed down a little. THe guy who had got the most of the shit turned around to them and said Merry Christmas & Have a safe drive home to them. They called him a fag and said you to. That kid is a champ because I wouldn't have been able to say quite. A some of the Bills fans next to us left (the ones heckling the kicker) thanked me for texting Security and wished a Merry Christmas.
Although the fans, who I think may have been mildly retarded, put a damper on the end of the game I still enjoyed it. It was a little cold and Tim Tebow didn't come through at the end. It was still a nice game to see. It was nice going to the game with a Tebow/Football fan. I would definatly go to another game at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
