Update Delayed a Day or Two

Ok ok I know I always do this...I'm sorry lol. Just life is really busy now and really happening and I need a couple more days before I explain what's going on for sure. I had a grand plan for tonight to reveal it...but that didn't pan out haha. But I will update you very very soon! By Tuesday evening. I promise! Oh yeah...I'm updating you from my new iPhone 4S :P

Cold Weather; iPhone Announcement

Well, it may only be the first few days of October, but it seems the weather wants to skip fall and head straight into winter! It has been cloudy and rainy for about a week now, with highs in the low 50's and lows in the 40's! And in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and western Maryland there have even been a couple inches of SNOW! Can you believe it!? Hopefully, this is a sign of a cold and snowy winter :D

Now... onto something I have been waiting for for MONTHS! The next iPhone. I am careful not to say iPhone 5 because many rumors lately are pointing to an iPhone 4S, NOT an iPhone 5. I hope those rumors are incorrect. iOS 5 is about to be released and it would only make sense if the iPhone 5 corresponded with the release of iOS 5. The announcement will take place at 1PM EST tomorrow and as SOON as I know what we are looking at, I will make a post. Now, I know I have always been a huge supporter of Android, well after a few years backing Android, I have to admit... IT SUCKS. I gave Google years of time to fix bugs and glitches and fragmentation issues and they just haven't even touched the problems Android has. iPhone has proven dependable and reliable time and time again and this is why I now want to make the switch. I have no money right now and that means I can't get it right away... but as soon as I can, if it's the iPhone 5 and not the iPhone 4S... I will be getting it.

Things I Want

Here's an update on some material things that I want... some are realistic, some aren't so much... but it gives you an idea... either way, because of my current financial situation, I won't be able to get any of the following too soon.

-iPhone 5
-iPad
-Clothes
-Jacket
-Possibly a new sugar glider for David and I
-A new, more fuel efficient car

MacBook Pro!

So its 4am and I'm still up. Why? Because I have no job lol. AND because I'm excited and using my BRAND NEW MACBOOK PRO! I bought it earlier and am loving every minute of it. I can take my entire life on the road with me now! Whether it's down the street or across the globe :) I'm so excited! But I should probably get some sleep now lol. Oh and by the way... that announcement I eluded to a few days ago will be announced tomorrow :)

My New Droid

I will talk about this at length tomorrow. This is to just inform you that today the Motorola Droid went on sale and of course I got one lol. I'm actually writing this post on it right now! This thing is a beast to be reckoned with and its gonna take a few days to figure out how to handle this baby properly. But right now I'm loving every moment of it :) More to come tomorrow.

The Day Is Finally, Almost Here.

Verizon Wireless just released this ad and pretty much tore a new one in Apple's iPhone rear end. I love how Verizon is being so aggressive with their ad for their new Droid phone coming very soon. I have been waiting for this thing since Spring!

Sooo... No More BlackBerry Storm, Back To The Voyager; Record Heat

Long story short... the BlackBerry was too complicated and I need keys. I wanted to get the "new" Voyager or whatever it is, but it isn't out yet so I have to settle for the same make that I've had for 2 years now. Lol.

Also... it hit the mid 90s today... RECORD HEAT BABY! 90s thru Tuesday.

HUMONGOUS Udate!

So lots to talk about in this post. I woulda made a video update but I didn't feel like it :-P So here we go, each updated subject will have it's own paragraph.

Phone: I was looking on YouTube and I saw that there is a new software update for the Voyager. It's like a total makeover and would basically be like having a new phone. And I've been itching for something new until I get a new phone, and this would be the prefect remedy. Well I called our local Annapolis Verizon and asked if they had the update there and they said yes but that they've been having issues with it so until next week instead of updating the phone you bring in, they just give you a new phone with the new software already installed! So I might be doing that today. The problem is, because of the big accident on the Bay Bridge a few weeks ago, they are doing reconstruction of the wall and it is causing a 4 hour backup. So once I cross that bridge, I know I will be in extreme traffic coming home. Is it worth it?
7:45 PM Update- I just got the software update, but not a new phone.


Yesterday: I was gonna go across the bridge and go shopping, eat dinner and get the software update for my phone yesterday, but at the last minute I changed my mind and went to Easton instead. I went to Applebee's, then got my haircut, as you can see in the picture to the left. Likey?



Hurricane Gustav: Well it happened, as I said it would on Tuesday. Hurricane Gustav has become a major hurricane. Today it is a Category 4. At this moment it has sustained winds of 145 MPH. It is gonna hit Cuba today and tonight enter the Gulf of Mexico. There it will become a Cat. 5 hurricane and move towards the Louisiana/Texas coast. My grandfather, who works for the electric company, has already been told he is leaving Monday morning and being sent to the Gulf Coast to help restore power in the aftermath. He did the same thing when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the same region in 2005. This also means that all the oil rigs are being evacuated and prices are about to skyrocket. They are in the direct path of this monster.

Gas Prices: Well, as you can imagine, with a huge hurricane about to pound the Gulf of Mexico, oil prices have shot up. Fortunately, atleast here, it hasn't been reflected in prices at the pump. Right now we have the lowest prices in that state, which has been the case this year, and the lowest prices in months. Two days ago I took the picture to the right of gas prices at $3.38 a gallon. That won't be the case as these next few days pass. Will Hurricane Gustav finally force our local gas station owners to raise the prices over $4 a gallon for the first time ever? We shall see.

Shopping Needs: I need to shop. Badly. I need winter clothes, but I still really need shoes. I'm still using the same pair of shoes and they are not comfy at all. Maybe if I cross the bridge to get the Voyager software update I will go ahead and get some shoes.
7:45 PM Update- I got the software update on phone and while waiting for it to finish, I went to the mall shoe shopping, didn't find any shoes I liked so I got frustrated and left. I did get some worthless socks though.

Blog: So I didn't want to make a separate post just for this so I will include it in this one for obvious reasons. When August 2008 ends, it will be the busiest month ever for my blog. For the first time in the over 2 years I have had this blog, I might actually reach the 30 posts in 1 month threshold! June of this year was the first time I reached 20 posts in a single month, and now just 2 short months later I may make it to 30. Either way, this will still be "most posted" month ever since the previous record is June 2008 with 22 posts, this is already the 28th post of this month. Awesome!

My Cell Phone Is Practically A Radio

I have become quite addicted to buying ringback tones for my cell phone this past month. Those are the ones that people hear when they call you instead of the boring ringing. It's not what I hear, but what YOU hear when you call me. I just like sharing the music I enjoy with everyone! Currently I have 5 songs in random rotation for when you call. Who knows which one you will get! I'm sure that I will be adding more as the days go by.

I Am 1 of 30 People To Get Voyager Today!

Ok so i'm actually writing this on my Voyager! My local Verizon didn't even get any in and won't for a few weeks. So the closest one is about 20 mins away and they only got 30 in! I had to work all day today so my mom actually got up while it was still dark and arrived at the Verizon store at 7AM. She was third in line at that early in the morning! They opened up an hour early and were sold out in 15 mins! They are not going to get anymore in til next week, and it will only be 30 then too. So right now i'm 1 of only 30 people in the entire area to have this awesome phone! I will post a video tomorrow :-)

I Have Chosen

I'm going to get the Voyager. Next Wednesday. November 21, 2007, Voyager release day. YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

Hi-Tech Drama

So i've been rambling about technology lately, but here's the breakdown. Last week my phone broke. It won't charge unless you hold the charger in the phone a certain way and sit there until you get enough juice to use the phone. So needless to say, I need a new phone. My contract is up in spring 2008, but some how my local VZW says its time for me to upgrade. I know thats not so, cause my bill says otherwise, and I just know. Its not time, but they say so, so I'm going for it. BUT I just spent $650 on my camcorder and accessories. Well I've been set on the LG Voyager, seen in previous posts, but now VZW just said they have ANOTHER iPhone like phone coming out, its called the Samsung U940. And its awesome lookin. Its aimed for December/January release. So now I'm in a delema. Do I get the Voyager, or wait, for an unknown amount of time for a phone I still know little about because of lack of info? Anyway as I have been debating this little pricey issue, I LOSE MY IPOD! I mean COME ON!!! Lost it yesterday and thought I dropped it as i was running around outside. Didn't find it after hours of searching inside and out. Woke up this morning thinking that now I have to buy a new phone AND a new iPod. Thats about $950! Sucks. I have wanted three things, three major purchases... camcorder (got it), new phone, and iPod touch. I didn't know I'd get the camcorder, than be forced to have to get the other two. Anyway all morning today my fam and I have been searching for the iPod Nano that I call mine. I was scared it was outside in the yard cause it rained all night, and that would be the end of it. I was about to give up and my mom found it... OUTSIDE. :-( It was soaked. She gave it to me and I held it as if it were an ill baby. It was flashing www.apple.com/support/itunes, with a black and white exclamation point. I blow dried it and then I put it on the charger, and nothing except that flashing message for a few minutes... than LIFE! :-D It works :-D I'm so happy. I can't explain it. So now my worries can go back to what phone, and how long do I want to wait? I mean my phone is on the brink of death. Anyway here are the two phones I'm interested in. I just keep telling myself if I wait for the Samsung, by the time its about to come out, I'll hear about another cool phone in the works, and then I'll want to wait for that one. So I'll never get one if I keep waiting. So anyway I have to be logical, lol. Either way I'm only doing a year contract. Ok so here are my two loves... I can only choose one.






LG Voyager







Samsung U940

Too Excited!

Ok, so I cant contain myself! I NEED MY NEW PHONE! Lol. I am getting way too excited. But i'm starting to get a little weary because I'm looking down the pipeline and seeing a boatload of awesome, sleak, touchscreen futuristic phones making there way to the market. I'm def getting the VOYAGER, but how long will I have it? I dont know, but Im just excited that the phones of the future are finally HERE! :-D

iPhone + EnV = DREAM COME TRUE!

LOL. Ok so I really wanted the iPhone. I mean come on who didn't? And I almost got it. But I just couldn't leave Verizon. Verizon has never let me down, and I can always count on awesome reception with Verizon. VZW also does vigorous testing with phones, so you KNOW that they are quality phones when you get them. So I decided to just hunker down and wait for something else to come along in VZW..... AND IT DID! Its called the Voyager. And thankfully its from Verizon. Its like and iPhone meets the EnV. Its a fully functional touchscreen phone, just like the iPhone, but unlike the iPhone, it actually opens and folds out into a full QWERTY keyboard, like the EnV!!! Now thats freakin' awesome! Its going to cost about $350 for me to get it, but come release day, November 21, 2007 IT'S MINE! LOL. My bank account has certainly taken a beating this month. $650 for camcorder and such in one night, and a few weeks later I'm probably looking at another $400-$500 being sucked outta my account. After that I really have to settle down on spending. I mean these are really that last two things I wanted that were really pricey... oh wait I forgot about the iPod Touch.... crap. Ok after that I'll slow down on spendings lol. But for now my eyes are set on the Voyager! Here's a few pictures of the phone.
