Hey! Remember this?

The Friday Five?

Me and my friends who used to be into blogs did this religiously for a while.

We kind of enjoyed it.

Let’s see how it feels if I bring it back again.

Since I just started a new job, I would like to try this.

Here we go.

1) What has been your favorite job?
-Of course, it’s my previous one where I was a Senior Network Tech.

2) What did you like about it?
–I was there for 14 years and it has given me a great opportunity to learn about my passion in Technology. Also was fortunate enough to work with such amazing and admirable people.
But you know what? if Money is not a concern, I would give a good shout-out when I was a Janitor at a Hotel Spa. I worked at nights and I never got to deal much with people. Except for the occasional Hotel Managers who treat you like crap, but still. As long as I finish my work, I got to read my school books. Use the facilities. Nap. It was great!

3) How can a kid become like you when they grow up?
– I don’t know if I want anyone to grow up like me. All I can say is as long as you make good choices. Not join the wrong group. Treat people with kindness, you’ll be all right.

4) What safeguards do you use to avoid mistakes?
-Besides paying attention? I do not think there’s a foolproof way to avoid mistakes.

5) What’s changed in the world that you’ve had a hard time keeping up with?
-I miss the simplicity of being young. Everything was simpler.
Being an adult is overrated. I know you agree with me on this.

Right?

LET ME TELL YOU A STORY….

But first, a big THANK YOU for all the birthday greets.
Those who called, texted and instant messaged.
Thank you for making me look way more popular than I really am.

Thank you to my wife, Natalie,
for feeding me the best cake ever created in the history of cakes.
Also for being my Valentine Partner.
Or is it Quarantine Partner? I’m confused.
I love you, baby. Thanks for putting up with me.

Now, my story.

I remember when I was young,
my Mother told me I was supposed to be born
a week or so after Valentines Day.
But she said she prayed that I come out on the 14th,
so my birthday would be memorable.
She even said she talked to me hoping I’ll hear her.

Well, what do you know?
I did!

Not only that! I came out just above 8lbs. and in the middle of the day.
Not some unholy hour.

That’s called being considerate and honoring your Mother’s wishes.

So on your birthday, call and thank your Mother.
It’s her day too.

Thanks again, everyone.

For the record, I just want to say how I miss using GarageBand and iMovie on a Mac.
I have been forcing to make music and record on a Windows platform, but it’s just not up to par. The sound gets so compressed and ….

well, who am I kidding?
I am not a professional. It all sounds bad.

No matter!
Today is Canada Day and I wanted to cover a song by a Canadian Artist.
Decided to do one by Corey Hart.
Definitely one of the 80’s big music stars.

Here’s my acoustic cover of Never Surrender.
Also trying out my BOSS Acoustic Live Singer amplifier.
A device that sings the harmony for you.
So if you hear any mistakes, or at any point I was out of tune,
It’s this thing.

Happy Canada Day, Canucks!!

At exactly 11 minutes past the work day, someone already managed to piss me off. Good thing i got this notification on my phone right after.

Sometimes people are just the worst.

It is getting harder and harder to calm yourself these days.
