My Next Phone... Hopeflly


I am so far ahead of myself it is sad. Meet the HTC Touch Diamond. Yeah it's sexy, 3G, wifi, 3mp camera, blah blah blah... but it doesn't come out in the US until the second half of the year. Now if this were normal circumstances that would suck because I haven't been able to get a new phone for close to two years but if this comes out in September I am set to go.
The sad part is this phone will probably look different and have some different features once it his the US streets. PLUS! No specific provider has been released so that means Verizon will probably not pick it up. They have a way of leaving the cool phones out of their artillery. Lame. What is it with European companies and their need to make devices exclusively cool for the eastern hemisphere.
Maybe you don't know this but I have been researching what phone I want when this peace meets its demise and I will make the right choice. Right now, I'm thinking this guy. Go to htc.com and check out videos of this sexy beast.

It's late on a mid-October 2015 night and I am struggling with whether I should buy a $1,200 last-minute ticket to California to be with my family for my mother's emergency brain surgery.

Turns out she has a size-able tumor growing on the surface of her brain.   It's a bit of miracle that the tumor was discovered in the first place as my mom's routine cancer screenings didn't usually include brain scans; however, she had been complaining of blurry vision and balance issues, plus she had become quite irritable having been pushed to take FMLA from work to deal with what she thought was post-cancer "brain fog." Thankfully her doctor had the good sense to add it all up and include her brain in her next cancer scan. Sure enou

Finding "Clarity" in 1999

I distinctly remember Tuesday, February 23, 1999. I was still living in Iowa and immediately after school let out I road with a friend to Best Buy so he could pick up Eminem's freshly released second album. Always down for a hang, I road along as there was one album I had read about and wanted to see if it was in stores. That album was Jimmy Eat World's Clarity . On the ride home I didn't bother asking to put in my purchase as my friend was not a rock fan. So for the next hour or so of cruising we blasted Slim Shady at painful volumes. For those uninitiated, this was the "Hi! My name is (ticka ticka) Slim Shady" album. I was indifferent to rap so it got a little long and tiresome by roughly the third time through the album. When I finally listened to Clarity it underwhelmed. Nothing on the album is lyrically hook centered on kinetically riff focused like later Jimmy Eat World releases. For a 16 year-old ska and pop punk super fan, Clarity go
