A little more about myself

So yeah just in case you forgot who I was, my name is Manny Patino. 


Something about myself is that I was born and raised in the United States. Both of my parents are from Mexico. I have lived in Utah almost for my entire life. I've lived in Idaho for 2 and a half years and I am living currently there and going to school in BYU Idaho. Idaho can be a little boring but so can Utah and it just depends with who you hang out.

My dream would be working as a music producer and working with famous artists with major talent. I've done some DJ'ing but it isn't as fun as I thought it would be. Making the music instead of playing it is alot of fun and I hope to do that someday without having to work at a dead end job or something that i don't like to do.

Right now i'm really tired cause I only got like 4 hours of sleep. This whole week has been a drag and I feel really tired. I can't think alot right now but each week i will post a blog about myself other than the blogs that i have to do for a communications class that I'm taking.

2011: The beginning of sweat resistant smart phones

Does everyone who uses Sony Ericson phones have a hard time with sweat uncontrollably? Now is a great time to think about buying a smartphone if you are sweat heavy.

According to CNN tech last Wednesday in the CommunicAsia conference in Singapore, Sony Ericson displayed the sweat resistant phone called Xperia Active. The phone is set to be dust proof, water resistant, and is incorporates "wet finger tracking" for those that use their phone while they are in the gym working out or jogging. It is primarily aimed to that.

Sony Ericson recognizes that most smart phones are similar in what they do so they are trying to create something a little different than the normal. Something to differentiate themselves from the other companies that make smart phones and androids. That they may have a more custom feel to the customer.

This is a good phone to use for anyone who can get easily nervous when they ask for a number of a girl or a guy so the sweat of their hands won't cause any problems to their phones.

Facebook saves a dog's life

If dogs could talk then a pit bull with the name of Nick will likely be saying thanks a million times.

Steve Jordan, who saved the pit bull's life by arriving at the Miami Dade animal shelter before the dog was going to be euthenized, had to fly from Michigan all the way to Miami, Florida to save the two year old dog. He went for the rescue and is now a hero.

MSN said on Thursday that the way that these two found each other was through Facebook a couple of month's ago in March. Steve Jordan found the pit bull through an Urgent Dog's page that was created by Maggie Rodriguez who is head of Miami-based group that provides pictures and details of local dogs on the Facebook page.

Jordan wanted the dog because it reminded him of his bull terrier that died in 2005. Maggie knew that Nick wasn't going to stick around so she ran on her feet to the shelter while Jordan flew in an airplane to get there in Miami. They arrived just in time to save Nick.

"Put it this way. I haven't cried in the past two years more than I have in the past 24 hours trying to get here to save him," said Jordan in a very emotional way. Nick had to be very emotional too. We should use Facebook more often.

2011 NBA Draft Utah Jazz Enes Kanter and Alec Burks

Yesterday at 5 I turned on the t.v. and turned to espn to watch the nba draft and to my surprise i had to wait for 30 freaking minutes before it started. I was irritated enough with the build up of my anticipation to see what team is choosing who and such just like when i was a 10 yr old waiting for the morning of christmas to open presents and having to do the traditional family thing of having a breakfast together and taking those not so memorable christmas pictures (indeed a few were fun but not every single one).

To my liking the Utah Jazz picked Enes Kanter with their third pick and Alec Burks with their 12th pick. The Utah Jazz did right choosing Enes Kanter because of 1) has great potential and is of good character 2) can be a great backup to Al Jefferson and some time can become an allstar. Mehmet Okur always is injured and we don't know when he will show up. It was either Kanter or Brandon Knight and they chose wisely because Knight has the same kind of qualities and is like the Devin Harris type which we already have. I like the Alec Burks pick too. I was hoping that Jimmer fell to the 12th spot because the Jazz would make mad money with his name and the fan base would grow increasingly. Alec Burks like many people said is a Ronnie Brewer 2.0, but as he said yesterday that he has a chip on his shoulder, it is a great motivation tool. 

The Jazz are in the right direction with these picks if they can blossom under the Jazz system. Congrats to Kevin O' Connor and hopefully we can be back in the playoffs next year, if there is basketball. 

HI my name is Juan Manuel Patino, I also go by Manny (that's what my best friends call me)

So here it goes. This is my first blog ever and I hope that my page will deliver great feedback upon the articles or what I write about. I'm new to this so don't be laughing at my insane writing or whatever cause I am starting this out. As these days go, I will write blogs about new technologies and also about my life (I hope it's not too boring). Anyways thanks for stopping by and I hope that you learned something new.
