Apple iPad

So today was the day that the Apple Tablet has finally been official and is called the "iPad." My first impression of it was that it's just a iPod Touch on steroids. Watching more of the keynote though, I kind of want one, I won't lie. I am a sucker for Apple products and this is just another one of them. I think the only thing that is a big seller for me is the big screen, iBooks, and iWork. I was actually thinking of buying a kindle for a while but why get one now with the iPad on it's way? I don't think I will get it release day, and to be honest I don't think I might even get the first generation of it. I may wait a year for them to perfect it like all Apple products.

Of course I'm a little disappointed this keynote I was hoping for a new software update for the iPhone. The iPhone OS seems like it's getting old, it really hasn't changed all that much since the very first gen and the Android OS is advancing I do think Apple needs to do some overhauling on the iPhone OS. No multitasking? No flash player in web? It's very capable of doing those things so why isn't Apple adding those features? Well once I'm done with my contract let's see if Apple can still hold on to me because the Nexus One is looking real good to me.

After all of that I would still want the damn iPad because Apple somehow has a grip on me and I just can't say no to them for some reason...

I Don't Know What to Talk About!

I really wanted to make an entry but I have no idea what about... I really hate this weather, I guess that's a start. We had some freezing rain here and it's not fun at all trying to walk to your car trying to avoid slipping, which I have failed because I fell on my ass and got a bruise on my ass. Ice on the car always takes some time getting it all off, but when rolling down the windows the ice still stays on. Here's a video of me getting the ice off my window.



Conan O'Brien is being kicked off the Tonight Show. That makes me very sad, he hasn't even got a chance to change things around. I mean nothing is going to be successful right away. The little time he did have that show I watched it and really enjoyed the time he has there. I know it's not all Jay Leno's fault but I do think he had a say and maybe step down. He's already has his time in the sun and people already remembers him of being the host for the Tonight Show it's time to pass the torch. I hope he finds another network just like David Letterman and just shows NBC he can do it.

The California thing right now... I'm a little nervous about moving down there, it seems like my sister is adjusting nicely there but I don't know if she is ready for me to get down there too. I was really hoping that she would have a place of her own but as of right now she's living with a friend and if I was to move down there, I don't know where I would be staying or working or anything like that. I'm really not all that ready but as it gets closer I will try to find work.

I think I'm going to try to cut down on the drinking. It just seems like that's the only way I can have fun now and I don't want that to be the main thing when I'm going out with my friends. Nothing wrong with a few drinks but when you go belligerent, what's the point?

Do you believe in Karma?

Tonight was just are a regular Saturday night for me... Well it was my friend's birthday so we went out downtown drinking celebrating. Doing what we need to do it set the party and mood off right. I actually only had a couple drinks but it wasn't enough for me to be considered "drunk" I'm a little more responsible that than... Because of awkwardness later in the night I decided to go home. Right before turning into the corner before heading home I slid right into a snow bank and could not get myself out of there. I thought my car was messed up for sure my bumper was risen from it's original place and was thinking how I'll have to fix it and stuff.

I had to do the shameful thing and call my parents to help me out of this mess I couldn't just drive out, I needed a shovel to dig my tire out so it can actually move and some man power to push it out of the snow bank. Of course since I'm not that far from home they came to try to help me out of it and was of course mad at me for doing something I couldn't help. While trying my car out of there this guy that was passing by asked if we needed help. My dad responded that we probably just need a little help pushing it out. He instantly got out of the car and helped us move the car out and we were able to get it out fine and my bumper actually went back to it's original place. Another great thing also is that another guy that was driving by asked if we needed help too but by that time we actually got the car out so we thanked him for asking but got him back on his way.

I don't really believe in karma or much of anything, I'm a person that thinks "I don't believe it until I see it." Doesn't mean I'm a horrible person I do care for others. I donate all the time to different charities, my favorite charity is 'Stand up to cancer.' I'll be honest though if it wasn't for me losing 2 grandpas to cancer I don't know if that would be my main charity to support. I also did donate to the whole Katrina thing in New Orleans and recently the earthquake in Haiti. I'm not saying that I'm a saint or anything like that but I do feel every little thing helps.

I never believed it karma actually but I feel what has happen to me tonight can pretty much be described as that... I don't know what to really think of tonight but really I do feel that we should all just every once in a while "pay it forward" just do something nice for the next person either if it's big or small, whatever it is it will be a chain reaction and just making that one person's day will lead to make 20 people down the chain their day.

I've Set A Date!

I've finally set the date of my plans on moving down to California with my sister. The day is March 13... It's actually much closer now that I think of it. I'm excited, my cousin Tina is planning on taking that drive with me from Iowa to California and hopefully we'll have lots of fun doing so. I don't really know what I want to do out there or know what to expect but it's a change for me.

Excited? Of course!
