another update on life in general

Rico | Family,Friends,Good Times!,Life,Rico's Rants | Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Still crazy busy…. This project will never end it seems. However, I am up for a new position at eBay. Hoping to hear something soon on that. It will still be with this same program, but in more of a specialized role, which would be nice. It’d be refreshing to focus on one thing or a few things rather than the entire program as a whole.

Jo and Katelynn and I are doing good. Life is moving along so fast. We’ve got some great things happening in our lives right now, and I’m looking forward to the next few years.

I’ve been at eBay for 10.5 years now. That’s just nuts. It has gone so fast. I’m up for my 2nd sabbatical, which is awesome. I haven’t scheduled anything yet, but looking forward to taking a month off to focus on family and other things. It is much needed.

I started collecting vinyl over the past year or so, and I’ve now got around 110 albums. It’s a fun, expensive, but awesome hobby. There is something truly romantic and enthralling about playing a record from beginning to end, just as the artist meant it to be. Music is so therapeutic… I don’t know where I’d be without it.

Ok, I’m done for now. I’ll keep trying to post updates more often… if only for my own sanity and remembrance. Hope you’re all doing well.

Peace!
Rico

After playing the crickets noise from my previous post in your next team meeting, follow it up with this one:

It very much sums up some of the people I’ve been dealing with lately… I don’t really like the video below, but I couldn’t find a better version of the song out there….

Random Ramblings of the times

Rico | Life,Rico's Rants | Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Today begins a new day in America with the inauguration of President Obama.  I’m excited at the prospects of change and new beginnings, and for the first time in a long time I’m hopefull for the future of our country and our world.

Over the past few days I have been extremely introspective and it seems change is something going on all over these days.  I want to change some things too.  My health being number one on the list as everything else is dependent upon that.

Anyway, Jo and I went to see Benjamin Button yesterday, and it definitely was a curious case…  I still haven’t decided if I really liked it, or if it was just ok.  It definitely was moving.  It was a good story, and there was an underlying theme of “its never too late to do the things you want to do with your life”… which is partly why it was moving. But I am undecided if it was great.  Initial impression is “Depressing Forrest Gump-like”.

I’m all over with this blog post, cause I’m all over in my mind… but I wanted to post something as it’s been a while.

Jo and I are going to get a family pass to the fitness / rec center by our house.  That should be fun and it’ll be good for us to be more active as a family.  The Wii Fit isn’t working so far…  Rock Band is fun though.  And it gives the lungs and arms a bit of a work out if you play all night.  I love my Xbox 360!

Work is crazy busy right now, but that’s good.  I am just happy to have a job in these times…

Ok, I guess I’m done rambling for now.  I’m stoked for our new president, I’m stoked the old one is gone, I’m stoked to change some things on my own, and I’m stoked for the changes that are coming for all of us.

Peace.

Stumble it!

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a great thanksgiving with family and loved ones, or by yourself if that’s the case. Mine was great, and I’m still stuffed.

  • I’m thankful for all my awesome friends and family. I appreciate every one of you very much.
  • I’m thankful for my awesome wife and step-daughter. I would be lost without them.
  • I’m thankful for a good job in a poor economy. I’m truly lucky.
  • I’m thankful for decent health.
  • I’m thankful for my cat. Smokey is awesome.
  • I’m thankful for Barack Obama.
  • I’m thankful for a 12 and 0 season! Go Utes!
  • I’m thankful for a lot more… but I need to go put up the Christmas tree.

Take care,
Rico
