About the blog, me

Welcome!

So, who am I? Well, I'm just your average former IT developer who migrated to IT Governance and Audit. Love electronic music, daily technology readings and obscure TV shows... Why? Not sure really. Just the way it is. Like most, I am simply making it day by day and trying to become a better person as time goes on.

My blog, vansantos.com, is basically a personal thought experiment. I wanted to track how my state of mind changes over time, and as a result, how my interests change as well. If there is something burning on my mind, you can be sure an entry will be made. There will be no posting for the sake of posting.

I will also be using this blog as a method of keeping my family and friends up to date with various things in my life, as well as my personal You’ll see a wide range of topic. Most likely said topics will break down into technology, philosophy, humor, and politics. That said anything is open to a post when all is said and done.

A few original* quotes I've muttered in the past for all to enjoy....

  • "Anyone who says money cannot buy happiness has never had money"
  • "The grass is always greener on the other side but it's still grass"
  • "Business is like sex - it's sweaty, a lot of work, tiring, and if it's done right everyone gets something out of it"
  • "You may retire tomorrow, you just don't know it yet"
  • "Do the best possible job with the least amount of effort"
  • "I have no problem with freedom of speech, unless you are wrong."
  • "Once the understanding of self is realized it cannot be denied."
*Statistically speaking it is probable others have said the same things as well... I've simply never heard it, hence my personal quotes.
