  1. The s9 looks intriguing... however you sacrifice a lot of memory. Myself, I am rather partial to certain iThings. only because the process of populating and using them was effortless back when they were first introduced. Am I sacrificing quality or other features? Most likely but I've never used them so I'm not missing them. Is being brand loyal limiting. Sure, but if they do a go job in your eyes of delivering what you want and expect, why take a chance of a different company who is just tossing their name into the market just so they have a presence, no matter how scant it may be. If I was satisfied with how a certain companies product, you bet Id be back to replace my missing lost broken player with what ever they had next in the pipeline. Would I consider others? sure... but if they didn't meet and exceed what I was previously accustomed to they would not receive a second glance. Sorry but why step backward? word of warning about the s9 however. It appears to use OLED. Ive heard not great things about this display technology. It looks great in low light, but suffers greatly in bright light situations.
  2. I thought this was supposed to happen in spring? Oh its not me mind you, rather my sisters. One is all stupid for one of the guys working on the freeway, the other ... well the other is just stupid, but more on that in a moment. Im kinda happy for my older sister, she is into this construction guy, he seems to be into her, in that whenever he is in the station he watches her, no matter who he is dealing with. The two of them went to lunch yesterday, it went well, he asked if she would be working today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her, she deserves it. My little sister... meh she fell into one of the mechanics down the way. I dunno, there is just something about the guy I dont care for. Sure I might be doing the whole over protective brother thing, but then again disclosing that you have 4 kids should be one of the big things when first getting to know eachother. Not 6 or so weeks into the deal. On top of that little character gem, I just feel like she is settling for what is there. She can do tons better, and not have to deal with psycho baby mama's who want to kick her ass. OH!, yeah I kinda lied... I got propositioned by a guy he is in a relationship. They are having "issues". Gee I wonder why? WTF is with that? seriously... he wasn't even good looking lol. Sorry just the arrogence, to approach me as if drilling me into a mattress would somehow do me good... help me out. Sorry pal I don't play that way. bleh. one more thing, I made contact with person of interest #1. The meeting didn't diminish my interest as I thought it would. Unfortunately I don't think there will be another meeting as much as I would enjoy it. As many of you would say, just not my time. Such is life catch y'all on the flip side. Steve PS if you're curious... yes my side is still a little sore, but a vast improvement over Monday so I'm not worried about it.

    Smashed

    Went to Knotts Scary Farm last night. If you are ever in the area around this time of year you should really go. Tons of fun with people all dressed up in costume and masks running around scarring little girls. Its perfect. I just wouldn't go as it gets closer to Halloween. The place gets too jammed with people and its hard to move. ON the way there I said hi to friend a few times, in the way that you look in the direction of their house and say "Hi" but not actually say hi. Just a nice way to think about them. Otherwise me and this friend aren't really speaking now, and I guess by majority vote it is my fault. Typical... I am an asshole like that most of the time, just ask anyone they will say so- I have my coarse moments. Anyhow back to the park... and the "Scary" mazes. They seriously do them up, a lot better then those hunted house things usualy tossed around the country by civic groups. I wont even get into the "Hell houses" thrown by our more angelically inspired christian brothers. I say scary because I dont find them so scary, perhaps if they tossed i a few more effects it would be interesting, but I can see why they dont have fake blood dripping from everything. People would most ostensibly bitch about their favorite shirt being ruined or someone would slip and fall in the fake gore... then the real scary lawyers would get involved. So yeah I can see the restraint that keeps the red paint as blood. The only other thing I would ask is they theme the mazes a little better. There was one called the Doll factory, at some point you are in a maternity ward. I dont see how the two lead to one another, or why the grotesque little alien thing lept from the woman in stirrups' groin. Then they seem to have the same costume on most of the people inside these mazes. Its like some sort of freak goblin. Just didnt fit I guess. Hoever the whole night was still fun especially watch the roaming ghouls scare the girls. this one girl ran a good quarter mile screaming her head off while a guy chased after her shouting "OH YEAH ITS GO TIME YOU BETTER RUN!!" it was funny as hell. The ride operator on Boomerang was entertaining. He asked if the ride was scary, people said no... he said it should be its almost twenty years old. To another girl that was walking through (IE she had waited in line, but walked across the train and out the exite gate when it was her turn to ride) he asked "Awww are you chickening out? come on..." he was funny. Now for the two bad things. 1 My sister went with her boyfriend--more about him another time--all they did all night was suck face. Okay it wasn't sucking face just that annoying lets hold hands hang on one another and chicken peck every moment we can type of thing. 2 there was a bg guy in our group and somehow I got seated next to him on ghostrider. (it was the first thing we did when we got there) Anyhow flying around one of the turns bigboy couldn't keep it on his side of the car and smashed me and my torso into the side of the car. What was once a fun ride completely ceased being fun at that point. For the rest of the night I had this sharp pain on the right side of my chest when ever I laughed or moved too suddenly. Still have it today. Maybe I should go get it checked out, make sure homeboy didn't break me. On Friday I was... well I was having a day that was stemming from events that took place Thursday night. However, that didnt stop me from going out and buying a cake and some candles.I was supposed to have MMS turned on finally, however as would seem the case AT&T = FAIL just for me though, because it seems everyone else I know with a capible iPhone has their f**king MMS activated. Anyhow I couldnt send the picture, so I sent an email instead. Hope it found its way. Oh well I guess I'll catch y'all on the flip side. Steve
  4. Hiatus? Hiatus my left berry. I think he saw this sign and figured he cant fight the technique

    Perhaps... That would be disappointing I think. I dunno. He stopped by the job last night while I was at work. He smells good. Looks better. I asked if he wanted to hang out and catch a movie or whatever today. I haven't heard back. I seriously doubt if I can do this much longer...

    A Moment in Fall

    I know all these things. I really do. Perhaps I wouldnt "wrack your brains, don't heartache and analyze" if it didn't seem like this didn't happen at every turn. Perhaps I wouldn't do it if I ever had a meaningful relationship with another person. These things however aren't happening. How many relationships did you have before Matt Eric? Who said I am looking for Mr right? I'm not I'm looking for Mr right f**king now and we'll see where it goes. Does this happen, or even hint at happening? Nope. There is a habitual "failure to launch" oh and as for me only being attractive to the unattainable. Perhaps it is a safety system. then again Im not looking for perfection, just a regular guy who isn't a complete pig of a human being, and a guy that doesn't exhibit any "swishy" mannerisms. Maybe those three things are impossible. Who knows... I'd at least like a shot. however that too seems to be habitually denied. Logic dictates if this happens continually, its not all these guys that have something wrong with them. It can only me, after all I am the common denominator. Now someone please tell what the hell is broken so I can fix it okay? save the pleasantries for an emotional persons. I don't need niceties I need the truth.

    A Moment in Fall

    This game is bust. How can one possibly play a game where the rules are so obviously skewed in the other direction. It is always the same. You like one person, they like someone else, and the person they, in turn, like yet a different person all together. How do you get ahead with out some basis of mutual attraction? Then again maybe it is just me. Perhaps I prefer that which I can never achieve. That is a scary thought, much less a scary preoccupation; to never be satisfied with what you can have. It seems true however, on some base level. Perhaps I am attracted to the pursuit then anything else. Groucho Marx equated it best "I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member.", only change it a bit to "I wouldn't want anyone who would have me." i only bring this up because Ive been chatting with this guy, sometimes he seems interested, and others he doesn't... its f**king confusing. Weighing all of the evidence though, it seems that he is more often uninterested then interested. That sucks. Meanwhile there are a few guys that are blatently interested, and Im not. I feel bad about it. I didn't make the rules, I'm only forced to play by them. I've been racking my brain how to get this guy to notice me, but its probably in vain. I should just ease off and focus my energies on work, or school, or listen to the assinied stories my family feels it is necessary to repeat ad nauseum. Really guys... I don't need to hear about your week for the umpteenth time. the first dozen times where enough. Then again maybe I'm just missing that bullshit gene. I lack the tolerance for, or the ability to, deal with it. Typical me I guess. To all you attached guys out there... I'm envious, I really am. I wish I could have what you do. I wish I could hold on to it for more then a fleeting minute in fall. Steve
  11. "You fall in love too easily, and hold on to it for too long..." This is the bold indictment i heard yesterday while watching a guy have people fill out some sort of questionnaire for a cheap little Edison key-chain light. I can't say that I find fault with her logic. In some ways she is insanely accurate, then again I only gave her the info I wished her to have. I bring this up because there is this guy im... intruiged with. he seems fun and what not and he is definitely a sexy f**ker. I'd really like to get to know him better. How the hell do you get a guy to notice you? anyhow... yeah short and sweet again.

    Short & Sweet

    there should be a life statue for that (there was A TLC thing a few years ago one was Merlot and email don't mix) It should be the internet and a lack of meds don't mix. Honestly I know it seems like a funny statement. But what about the internet makes us as people do things we would otherwise not do in person and find them completely acceptable. Maybe it is this veil of electricity that separates us. It erodes the little trivial niceties, perhaps we spend a few hours reading posts and figure we know people. I dunno, it just seems to me like people are all together trusting and at an extension not completely stable. Maybe thats just another incarnation of the veil as well.

    Why does the internet attract a gaggle of unstable people?
  16. and your screenwriters card... I'm not totally convinced you didn't have a hand hoof in this. and yeah I am aware of their "remote viewing" activities they had in the pentagon.

    Bullshit

    hrmm dont think so, should send through the same protocols as regular MMS... it'll just go faster with 3G. I could be wrong though especially with the video. I know only the 3g and 3gs phone can do it. but that is a hardware feature and not a 3g feature I believe.
  18. shadowgod

    Bullshit

    nope its included in the messaging charge you already pay per month that a plus I guess...

    Bullshit

    Sorry, I wasn't sure if you had or not given some of your responses... which are the blanket responses of many Apple enthusiasts when someone voice a legitimate complaint about an otherwise stellar piece of equipment. Your Response of Get a blackberry or a win based phone are strewn throughout a number of different Mac sites, including their own support forums. Its like there is some sort of cult of don't complain or they might take it all away! AT&T's exclusivity is neither here nor there... if it would have gone to Verizon the same issues would have cropped up. Like it or not the phone is a bandwidth hungry device but that is no excuse for delaying MMS as AT&T is using it as an excuse. Especially when they are going balls to the wall on advertising mobile broadband connectivity cards and netbooks that access data over their 3G network.

    Bullshit

    Im not dumb drewbie... I know O2 TMobil Rogers etc are all foreign contracts. I even know they have MMS and tethering, have had it since the June Update to OS 3.0Probably coincides with the whole At&t having provider exclusivity in the US. Yeah that sounds about right. Those two words are easy enough to understand. and I never said I have multiple issues with the iPhone now did I? I was calling at&t and apple out on their bullshit. why get a blackberry or a Windows mobile phone? I can get a pos freebie and still have MMS so why pay the money? Anyhow thank you for participating next time read more then three sentences before you reply okay? oh and before anyone else goes all fanboy on me... the post was written using pages run on a macbook pro using OS X 10.6 and posted via Safari. I have a legitimate gripe... one which I am not alone on. and personally I think both AT&T and Apple share in the MMS debacle that exists on the iPhone. Sorry if that wasn't extremely clear in the blog post itself
  21. Nope... consider it another unpublicized perk of membership
  22. http://www.themenwhostareatgoatsmovie.com/ Government Intrigue. Top Secret Military operations, A car chase in the desert..... Something tells me our goat has been moonlighting. I really love the part where the goat falls over BTW. precious CJ absolutely Precious cameo.
  23. Yes i did scour craigslist look for that ad I haven't seen it yet. Im watching you Vic I don't know what chips... I wasn't paying attention to those. the only reason I know Pepsi is because that is where the dog from the sub-shop attempted to hump his leg to completion. pictures... well I wouldn't want to be too stalker-ish now would I?
  24. The broke ass state of California has been working on the Freeway next to my job for the last two months give or take. (Damn time flies when one is having innumerable amounts of fun). Freeway construction in, and of, itself isn't really that intriguing. The guys who are doing the job however, are. Well one guy in particular. He's tall, tan from ethnicity, as well as all the time spent in the sun. Has a killer smile that he gives freely to anyone who says hello or gives a friendly nod. Plus he just has an adorable baby face. He hasn't gone un-noticed; neither by myself, my female co-workers, nor the shameless little sub-shop hoes. He was in the store yesterday, getting a cold drink (Pepsi for some of you detail freaks) and a bag of chips. One of the Sub-shop girls ran over and was all "Ohh Ive seen you around, but not lately" typical small talk gush. he came up to the register.. smiled his awesome smile and then moved on, back to the job a hundred feet away. Sub-shop girl was all "OMG WHO WAS THAT!!" after he left. i laughed it off, cause well it was funny, the other females I work with however got a bit territorial. They were highly disturbed that I wanted to (still do actually) that sub-shop girl was leaking in his presence, and would probably jump at the chance to show him how much of a sandwich artist she really is. In fact one of My female co-workers even commented that her girlfriend wouldn't appreciate her display of horn-doggery very much. I don't believe that so much.. I think as a people we are becoming more and more a-sexual but that is an entire different argument. The whole point of this is, i wanted to tell him about sub-shop girls lust, just so I could punctuate the whole thing with "and that is fine if you like your girls with braces still" perhaps I am evil to some degree... I dunno. I do know that as this conversation plays out in my mind he says he doesn't like girls anyhow and offers to grab a beer after he gets off. That would be nice anyhow enough fantasizing for now. Steve
