Southern Hospitality

After my disastrous flight to North Carolina, I’ve finally made it there…..18 hours later. Yeah, don’t ask. The great part is that I got to hang with my old friend Mike. I definitely had a pleasant, unexpected adventure. I got to catch up with him about all the stuff that’s been goin on with his life and with mine. At the same time, having some adventures while doing it. Polishing off half a bottle of vanilla vodka was a nice start, especially after my whirlwind expedition of several airports. Black friday was another interesting experience. Kinda like our Boxing day up in Canada, but much better sale prices. I ended up getting a nice 320 Gb hard drive for $50. I couldn’t turn it down.

But I must say, that I could not turn down the Southern style cooking. Pork, steak, and more pork. And if that still doesn’t got you stuffed, how bout some deep fried cornbread? Delicious…….so delicious that I added 5 pounds, that I am currently trying to work off in the gym. If I didn’t have my time at the rock climbing gym when I was there, I am sure that I would have come home with an extra 5 pounds of fat. Definitely a guaranteed good time and a good workout in the end.

All in all, I had an awesome vacation. It’s nice to have good friends in the south

Out And About

So tomorrow, I am flying out to Raleigh, North Carolina to see my dear friend, Mike. I have to say, this is going to be my first vacation by myself, since I got together with my lovely wife. It’s not that I dislike travelling with my better half, I just like the odd solo adventure. It kinda brings me back to my childhood, where you never know what’s gonna happen, but you know it’s gonna be something worth remembering.

 Now, Mike and I have been friends since high school. Back then, we did everything together. We went to school dances together. Went to unknown cities to meet women we thought were gonna be the one. Even finding stuff to do, that you know you shouldn’t be doing as a kid, but you did it anyway as long as your parents weren’t home to scold you for doing it in the first place.

Mike+Antoni=Adventure is what I’m tryin to say here. It’s always an adventure with him. It’s unfortunate that I am going to see him under his current circumstance. But every break-up needs at least one good friend. And being the good friend that I think I am, I must do the right thing, and give my best friend the moral support that he needs in these troubled times. But that won’t stop us from having, yet another, Tony and Mike adventure. Something always worth remembering. Off I go…..

Glazy Eyes

Wow…I never thought it would happen. My very first blog page. I never really had the need to wrote a blog, or even to write something abstract, for that matter. It was only when, I was at a public school reunion, and everyone’s eyes started glazing over, as I rambled on about quantum computing and how fascinating it is and the benefits it would have on our society. I knew I had lost their attention, but they were being polite, and wanted to let me finish.

When I had finished rambling, I quickly apologized, so I didn’t look like a complete idiot. After all, it was a reunion, and I didn’t want to be that guy that everyone went home to Facebook about, saying how weird and crazy that Antoni guy was. I had told them that I couldn’t help myself. I loved technology so much, that I wanted to share it with the world. Before I had lost all hope, my collegue Kevin turned to me and said, “Well, if you love technology so much, why don’t you write a blog about it?” It then hit me. Could this be the answer to my everlasting rants? Would I end the “glazy eyes” look from everyone I talk to, and try to become a more normal human being with some better conversation than, “Did you hear that Intel released their new 45nm processor”?

Well, time will tell. I feel like it may definitely be an answer to my “problem”. In the meantime, I will take my friend Kevin’s advice and keep on writing…
