If you're thinking S9, think again...

Yeah I saw it, I heard the unnecessary jabs, I saw the unnecessary over-explanations of the new features. I highly recommend people to listen to my latest podcast episode 30 on iTunes and SoundCloud  for more on thoughts of Mobile World Congress (MWC2018) and some phones that I thought were important to take a minute and talk about. The smartphone world has been getting populated more and more by different brands, different form factors, innovations and most of all: options for consumers and I have always recommended the Apple iOS and iPhone ecosystem. However, I know this is not the only great option out there in the market. As the years went on and people said that Samsung was the "greatest competitor" Apple had... I have tried out the Note line, the Galaxy S line, the Galaxy J line, the Galaxy A line; not all the models but at least the top from each to give myself a sense of the idea behind their phones compared to the rest of options in the android market. So many

The One MCU Ranking To Rule Them All

I am about to enter the Black Panther premier with my cousins and I am too excited! Yeah I said it, TOO excited, I wish I would have held back from the hype because of the fact that this means I expect too much out of this movie. So to get my head off of that for a little bit before going in I will give you guys my PERSONAL top 5 favorite MCU movies: 5. Lets start off by pissing off a lot of people. I know this is not a very popular opinion out there but I did really like Avengers: Age of Ultron . Me being someone who enjoyed the EVENT that the first Avengers movie created, thought this sequel ups that original in testing how to make the team up different. I enjoyed the idea of teasing Wakanda, prepping the audience for the Black Panther introduction to come in Civil War and the importance of vibranium in this universe. Added, I loved Ultron, the voice over was great and the identity he had (even if I understand he's not the best villain).  I knew nothing of Ultron until this

What Passion Looks Like: The World Cup Rant

This year is one of THOSE years. Yeah, the World Cup will happen in Russia and I wanted to share 2 great scenes of the life movie that football has given me. To every single football fan there are WAY more than just 2 memories, moments, life memories that scar and brand our lives. And if there is One thing I enjoy more than telling stories I have lived through, it's listening to other people's stories! 1998 - France I had the great opportunity to be in France that year in the month that the world cup was playing. I remember driving long and beautiful landscape-filled-hours from Denmark all the way to the south of France to a small town called Bagnols-en-Foret. This peaceful place was where we slept and ate at night while in the days that we were there we went to the beautiful beaches of Frejus and Saint Raphael. France qualified to the final game against Brazil. The once small and peaceful town I knew (it was not our first time going to southern France for the summer

The Biggest Concert In The World

When I was a kid I was a little hyperactive (some could say still am). That meant my mom had to find ways to focus my energy. The easy way was exercise: swimming lessons, soccer team, etc. However, one day she discovered the secret: music. Specifically orchestral music, with loud and clear percussion. An example is Hans Zimmer , one of my favorite music composers today. I remember telling my grandma when I decided to leave music as my main career that "once you are born a musician, you die a musician". I remember her smile when I said that, I remember my grandfather taking me to and picking me up from music lessons and both going to see me at small concerts in local churches. I remember playing in front of large audiences later in life and always imagining them there in the front row smiling. Most people who knew me back then ask me a really funny question which I answer in different ways each time: "so, when are you going to go back to music?". The truth i
