The good:

The ease of activation. Thus far there have not been kind words written about this experience. I had my service activated with my T-Mobile phone number transferred in 5 minutes. Incredibly fast.
Battery life. Happy! Happy! 24 hours of music and 8 of talk time. No problems there.
The dimensions. I remember seeing the initial photo [...]

Just wanted to share a little essay I wrote for my college literature class. This is an analysis of Marilyn Manson’s Great Big White World song from the Mechanical Animals album.

Where are you going to be during the impending zombie apocalypse? What will you do? What will you pack? Who will you take? How will your group dynamics work? These are all things I have been considering as of late. Although I have been honing my skills for dodging and executing zombies…

System of a Down, where have you gone? Old news to most, but after releasing 5 studio albums, System of a Down is officially on hiatus. This normally wouldn’t really bother me, except that while listening to music, I threw in a little of the old System of a Down, and immediately began crying. Why? [...]

Current gas prices give me bed sores.

Gas prices are miserably high all around the nation. In Utah, the lowest price is $3.11 to a gallon. What used to take only $25.00 to fill my tank now takes $40.00 or more. For the sake of getting more exercise in my day to day life, I have begun biking to and from work [...]

Today as I drove to work on a particular gloomy and overcast day (my personal favorite), I was lucky enough to see a funeral in progress. I know this probably makes me sound sick, but it made me smile. Someone died, and all of these people gathered to honor the deceased and their life. There [...]
