2011.
A year of good and bad events, all combined into one year.
A year of
hope. joy. inspiration. change. awe. shock. warmth. terror. triumph. disaster.
This 3 minute Google Video sums it up well.
Cheers to 2011, and looking forward to 2012.

Disney finally posted a YouTube Video for the Trevor Project, the It Gets Better Campaign. So excited! These videos always stir up excitement, because of their importance to the community as a whole. I’d love to be on their Pride Committee.
It’s been a while since my last update, and when I say while, I mean about 6 months. A lot has been going on over the past few months, and when I have time I’ll publish a more detailed update.
My main reason for this post is simple: 7 years ago today, I met the love of my life. 😀
Still in love, and happy as can be. I love life!
Several weeks ago, Mike and I dug up the old flower beds, fertilized everything, and planted about 22 different types of flowers.
I’ve never been a flower enthusiast, and I’m still not, but I am definitely starting to learn to enjoy the simple things in life. I love technology, I love many pleasures in life, but sometimes its nice to sit back, relax, and enjoy nature and all its wonder.
They are starting to bloom, and they will be even more wonderful next spring. Yes, Spring is just ending, but we got a variety of perennials so that we can have some flowers that bloom yearlong.
A few days before Star Tours and The Little Mermaid opened, we were able to visit Disneyland and experience the magic!
My filing cabinet was full, containing thousands of documents ranging from old tax returns, to car service appointment papers, medical records, receipts, and even old school transcripts. Although they were all organized quite well, it is still frustrating locating the documents that I need with ease, and even more difficult to view them remotely.
Well, I’ve changed that, by taking about 95% of my files and converting them into pdfs. I’ve scanned hundreds of documents, named them in efficient ways, and organized them into meaningful categories to help me. I’ve stored them in my Dropbox, which most of my friends now, is one of my favorite applications that Syncs all my data across all my computers and my iPhone. I could dedicate an entire blog post, and even more, to the wonders of dropbox, but to sum it up, dropbox constantly “syncs” my files in the background across all the computers I used so that I always have a copy of what I need when and where I want it.
Once I converted everything to a pdf files and I named them properly, I organized them and shredded the original document, unless of course the original is needed, such as the pink slip to my Mini Cooper. Now, when I need to locate a file, I can either navigate through my organized file structure or simply search for the name. In moments, I can view the file, e-mail, or print it with ease. Talk about convenience and simplicity!
