iphone review
It has been well over 2 months since I got my Apple iphone 3g and am happy with the decision that I made to get my own phone line and get a phone that I have wanted for some time now. My Black Berry was falling apart and didn’t want to get another one. So on an early morning when I was off from work I went to the Apple store in Houston, waited in a snake like line, and finally after a 2 hour ordeal walked out with my newest apple hardware.
Hurricanes Suck, Especially When it Hits You
I have been with power for a week and can say that electricity feels so damn good. I never took turning on the light to the restroom or closet or taking a hot shower for granted, but being without all of the necessities for 10 whole days. I don’t watch much t.v., however I caught up on my reading, alone time, and seeing old friends. The activity that I missed the most was being able to get online to read blog post and write blog entries or whatever is on my mind. During the day there was no problem operating a normal life, but it really sucks ass that you are dictated by mother nature to stop all of what you are doing because there isn’t any light outside.
27th Birthday
27
I don’t know what it will bring. I expect it to be better than 26, but we shall see.
A Picture that Never Got Taken
There’s a big hurricane coming to town tonight and I am prepared enough, I think. I got a little restless and drove around to find a grocery store so I can make a last minute meal and visit my parents. I also took my camera so that I could take some photos to see what the skies and places around looked like before the ’storm’. Some of the things that I captured in a time in space were gas stations out of gas and boarded up, the clouds at high noon, and the level of the bayou. I know this storm is going to be crazy and am amazed how calm it is hours away.
Work so far…3 weeks in.
I have been working at my new job for 3 weeks already and am enjoying it so far. It is hard to not like something only after 3 weeks, but I am still in the adjusting phase. For instance, I have been rectifying to waking up at 6 a.m. and arriving at work no later than 7:10. I am doing this by taking the city bus by walking to the bus stop from my apartment and arriving in downtown Houston. Relaxing on the bus has given me the freedom to take a cat nap, listen to podcast via the iphone, playing tetris, watching people on the bus and seeing what people are doing in the streets of Houston, and reading blog post also through the iphone. Riding the bus has giving me time to simply relax and not worry about traffic jams and other people’s car driving habits and actions.
