Really is it that important?
So I witnessed one of my pet peeves this morning on the I-40 on my way to work, the car who will not allow an emergency vehicle to pass. There was a DPS officer coming up behind the group of cars I was in with his lights and siren on so obvious first thought, move over, get out of his way. Well in the next group of cars there was a Red Mazda RX-8 who was in the left lane starting to pass another car. Instead of slowing down and getting back in the right lane, this idiot decides that they should stay in the left lane and try to finish passing completely blocking the road so DPS can’t get by. Then their brilliance kicked in to move off to the left side of the divided highway so that DPS has to squeeze between them and the car they were passing.
So was what ever Mazda person was doing or where they were going so important that they needed to be so rude to hold up DPS when they have a legitimate place to be? I think not.
Today’s Song
So I was listening to an album I just got and found a song that sums up how I’ve been feeling for a while now.
Artist: CKY
Album: An Answer Can Be Found
Song: Familiar Realm
Wow, maybe I am obsessed
A friend of mine sent me this comic, thinking it would be funny that they would accuse me of being THIS obssessed with my Mac. Boy did they get a little TMI!
AppleGeeks comic
Because yes, I do sleep with my MacBook. You’ll have to guess on the naked part. 
New phone!!
So I’ve been wanting to post about this all week but have been horribly busy. I finally got a new phone. I was waiting for the iPhone 3G to come out to look at it and think about getting it. I was pretty bummed to have to go to ATT though as they have horrible coverage in Flagstaff and when I left ATT several years ago it was over HORRIBLE customer service. That added to the fact that I love Verizon and have had no problems with them in the 6 years I have been with them and they have great coverage even when i’m out hiking and such. So an amazing thing happened… LG introduced the Dare on Verizon. I got one on Monday and couldn’t be happier. Sure it doesn’t have the hype that iPhone does and it is not by Apple. But the only thing missing between the two phones is the built in WiFi capabilty (Dare doesn’t have it). But in the week I’ve had the Dare I haven’t missed it a bit. I also love the faster data network! Standing in line for Dark Knight last night a friend of mine who has an iPhone started to load a video from YouTube and by the time he could play the video I had already watched 2 and had started the video he was trying to watch.
My faves so far…
1. The 3.2mp camera
2. The ability to MMS picture message. iPhone can’t do this and all of my contacts can and wouldn’t go to their email to see a picture in any kind of timely manner.
3. The haptic response is awesome, you can adjust the level of the vibrated response for when you touch a key or turn it off all together.
4. The internet. I haven’t had internet on my phone before and I LOVE it! No more when I get home I’ll Google that, I can do it now and email the results to myself if I’ll need to look at them later.
So my recommendation… if you’re not interested in ATT but really want an iPhone, give the Dare a try.
Another week
Well this week is starting with a beautifully rainy Monday, I love the monsoons in Flagstaff. As many of you may know this is one of the only things I like about Flagstaff.
So updates…
1. I did not get the job I interviewed for. I’ve been really upset about this, however today is the start of a much larger and stronger hunt for a new job because of it.
2. Went to LA this weekend and went ocean kayaking in the Channel Islands off of Santa Cruz. It was AMAZING, look for pictures later.
3. This week also begins a huge cleaning campaign in my house! I missed the spring cleaning period so now I must do summer cleaning!
I’m hoping this helps me get my head clearer and able to move forward in life.
My Hero
Ok so I found what I want to do in my life… Where the Hell is Matt?
Basically this guy goes AMAZING places and films himself dancing this horribly funny little dance (I’d be a pro!). Its pretty well amazing!
Getting back to blogging
Well after a bit of a break and break-down, I’m getting back to this blogging thing. I have an interview tomorrow with ELC, so I’m crossing my fingers. I really want this job, it would be the first job where I use a degree that I have earned (well almost) from NAU! It will also let me expand my web development and Vista BlackBoard skills.
Sooo….
Wish me luck!
