What Happen!

As a young man growing up in New York City. I never paid much attention to detail. Life was what you had in front of you at the moment. There were days when I would wake up and down 5th Ave and never consider the fact, that maybe i should look before i cross. In other words walking aimlessly place to place was a thrill. You never knew how you got there until you stopped walking and looked back. Often a people rarely recall what they did during their day, until their stopped by another aimless walker who needs advice on how to get to "disappointment Street", or a college student who just failed their finals, and needs advice on talking their parents into allowing them to move back in. These people watch the street everyday. Yes, I was one of them. I will have a goal set, and after three minutes of seeing the same towering building, my thoughts parade my mind and somehow after almost getting hit by a car, I arrive at my destination. Unscratched and hungry.
So, today i would like to say to all New Yorkers who read this blogg. Stop walking fast and aimlessly. Slow down and enjoy the trip on the way to grandmas how. You'll be surprised with what you see.

Identity Theft

Well, its another cold day in NewYork, and once again I'm a victim of identity theft. Your right, thats what I said, Identity Theft. I just passed a guy on the street wearing the same outfit as me. Who would of thought the average NewYork male would decide to wear a baseball cap with a wool trench coat, or the same day i did. It may seem small you some people, but a growing number of people are experiencing this kind of theft everyday. The local train rider, who just so happens to notice the person standing in front of them is wearing the same outfit they have on, and tends to look better in it. Oh, the pain. To make matters worse, you both get off the same stop.

So, i say to the victims of identity theft, don't be discourage. Keep trying to create your own fashion sense. Sooner or later, you'll one day walk the street of New York untouched by the identity bug, and leave behind you curious minds.

Exposure

Walking around the city, i find myself exposed to many systems and groups. Everyday theirs a new trend running the street. When you think your fitting in, your style of life is yesterdays news. Poor shopper, you just brought a 400 dollar pair of Prada shoes, only to find out that the value fell to zero once they hit outside the department store. The world stares at your designer bag and wonder whether or not you maxed out your credit card for your purchase. They giggle and point as imagine your wearing your shoes with an outfit not worthy of your shoes. Man, it seems like this happens all the time. People take their hard earned cash and blow it on designer wear that often does more damage than good. A majority of this nations wealth doesn't even wear most of these clothes. Their busy in DSW hiding shoes until they go on sale. What a country! Even though I'm successful and can afford at time luxuary items. I still find joy in turning nothing into something.
I guess all this exposue to these clothing ads leaves me paralyzed, when it comes to selecting what i'll wear to tomorrow that someone hasn't already worn today.
To make a long story short, is it me or does everyone dress the same these days. 1920's here we come!

Mac to the Rescue

For some time now, i believe the computer age has gotten too predictable. It seems the lastest devices and addons don't really do anything. Windows has grown stale and their latest operating system seems to lack the " I gotta have it" I guess its just me talking, but i just believe the next comptuer system will still carry with it the blue screen monster. Well that when a system name MAC came along and saved mankind from the boring world of Xp and Windwos media center. Mac thank you to giving realiability a whole new name. Well im off to editing some dvd video on my MAC PowerBook, mean while my pc still freezes while processing word documents.

Let me know what your view are.

Were did the leaders go!

I've been reading alot of business and social themed magazines and newsletters that focused their attention towards leadership skills. It seems over all good leadership is based on someone ability to influence change in an already organized climate or mindset. i believe this is not necessarily correct or accurate. A dictator has some of this characterisitics but isn't considered a great leader. A great leader is considered a honorable when he/she sets an great example for their peers and followers. They just don't assign work but participate in at well.

In todays business world is seems the role of leader is based on how well the person can keep a company running without being caught, cutting corners. It seems mankind has put a price tag on leadership quality. Companies are know looking for individuals who have charisma and pretty teeth rather than someone who has a vision for making progress towards future ventures. These boards that elect these leader need to revamp their strategy towards picking their next big CEO portrait. Don't get me wrong many company's have not fallen short selecting a leader that believes in team work and customer service. Their are just to many scandals in coroprate America that coming to lite that hurting the image of this country.

Maybe I'm just speaking to the computer in front of me, but sometimes it's hard to buy goods and services from a company who CEO or Accounting department just caused people their job because they wanted to give the stock market a nice quarterly repeort.
Well time will tell how things will play out, meanwhile to stay busy i'll look at that realestate bubble.
