untitled 1

Making another splash into my life,
and definately in my wallet,
I purchased another apple product.
Thats right,
I got an Ipod nano.
As long as i put it off,
It's kinda sad,
but they really do grow on you.
I still think it's quite a shame,
and a bit of a scam,
for apple to shift focus,
and appear to sell only ipods.
But who am I to complain?
This wonderous device,
so aptly named,
or maybe not,
is great.
Small and slick,
it fits into the hand,
like well...
an ipod should.
This fits hands of all sizes,
from the ever feminime,
to the overly masculine.
Although I'd be afraid,
to give it a good squeeze.
My bigges complaint,
and slight relief would be:
The ipod nano's cost.
While it's cheap,
and expensive,
it's cost sadly set me back,
slighty more than my head phones.
My last pair broke,
so I went for the upgrade,
and got the Shure E3C headphones.
Well worth it.
But enough of my rambling,
and near bragging.
Something of a change here.
Maybe you'll finally get a peek,
and see what it's like,
if only for a moment,
of what it's like in my head.
Some of you might have noticed,
and some might not.
But the kids are always in the know.
That was a random song quote.
Life for me isn't bad,
just rather frustrating,
and more often than not,
I'm irritated by all.
Not just workers,
but those claiming to be friends.
and sometimes,
I wonder why I need enemies,
with friends like these.
Another quote/cliche.
But have no fear my sparse readers,
It's not you I speak of.
And with that little rant,
and a bit of controlled anger,
I'm off to bed.
Hopefully I can start a new day,
and not wake up,
with a chip on my shoulders.

Long time...

Been a while.
Haven't felt like making a post.
This takes a bit of time,
and usually,
I'd rather not.
So to start it off,
my ipod shuffle...
It took a second attempt,
but I finally got it.
Took it apart,
and sadly broke it.
With nothing to lose,
I took the lemons,
and made lemonade.
Learned to color plastic,
and now I have a black shuffle.
Too bad it didn't work.
I went out and bought a new one.
Safely took it apart,
and my shuffle is black.
I realized I lost some things,
Mainly my camera charger.
No new pictures for you.
I ordered me a an ipod nano.
A white one.
I'm going to attempt to make it blue.
Hopefully I get it right,
on the first try.
My faithfull laptop,
turned out to not so faitfull.
Finally gave up,
not bad really though,
lasted 2 years,
and several dissasembalys,
as well as repairs,
and modifications.
Something went wrong,
terribly wrong with the power.
All I know is it gets what it needs,
I even made a spark or two,
but sadly,
the power doesn't go far.
Almost shed a tear,
and would have,
but I've been looking to upgrade.
I finally had the excuse,
Spent 4 months rent on a new one.
I got the Sony Vaio S560P/B.
Excellent machine.
Only one problem,
no sharp corners.
And lastly,
I ran my first 5k in almost 4 years.
All on a track,
12 laps.
Managed to push out a 19:30.
I thought I'd be strugling,
and straigning for under 21.
Then I went and ran mile.
Only 4 hours later.
Not fun at all.
I did manage a 5:45,
dissapointing,
I expected about a 5:30.
I also ran a 400 in there.
only 65 seconds.
Would have gotten 6th place,
for only one second less.
Damn that 5k.
Had a good time,
and thats all I care for.
