Mad Movie Guy

iKnow, many of you are probably wondering why iAm not waiting iN-line for the iPhone. I had too much shit to do today, and frankly I had to sit down and really think about it. This is a confusing time for me, my loyalties are being tested in ways that I cant really explain, because they are for the most part, pathetic and consumer driven which appauls me. I am an apple fan, I really am, I will never own another brand of computer under any circumstances, and I love my iPods, I really do, they are amazing products. I know I would fall head over heals in love with the iPhone. One concern like I mentioned is loyalty, and I know what your thinking, if your an apple fan where is the problem. Im also a Sony Ericsson fan, and have gone on the record as saying “Sony Ericsson, its the only way I roll” They make outstanding phones, durable as shit, user friendly like no other. Im not saying they are better than an iPhone. Cause I cant, I just dont know. But I really need to sit down and think about where my loyalties lie, and where Im gonna go with all this, cause I really am a very loyal person, in fact, I think I have a tattoo that says loyalty, or means loyalty. I really dont know for sure, Im getting old.

First of all, I have officially been on vacation since 3:38pm today, and it feels great. Secondly, roughly 1 hour after I was on vacation an era ended, and a new one began. The NBA draft is over, and what a ride it has been. It started back on May 22nd when the NBA gods gave me the greatest birthday present ever. Atleast I thought that at the time. Truth be told, its true, but it caused me to read roughly 300 times the amount of draft rumors, trade rumors, sports articles than I normally do, and thats a big deal cause normally I read a shit ton about the NBA draft. Literally on more than one occasion, I would be reading an article, or a trade rumor, while listening to an audio interview. Im glad its over. My head was on the verge of exploding. It really was.

That probably didnt work as well as I had hoped, I kinda hoped that it sounded like I was singing, but fuck it, what ever right ? Anyways, my mind has been on overload this week, with the draft, the iPhone, and the vacation. I needed a break, well I need to pack, but fuck it that will come when it comes. I needed to escape, I needed to get out of my apartment so I didnt spend all afternoon talking to Jeff about NY. So I jumped in the car right after work and when to Live Free or Die Hard.

Im gonna keep this shit short, sweet and to the point, cause I really have to start packing, do some laundry and shit. Im leaving in a few days, Im off work on thursday and then its a whirwind tour of shit untill I finally pull into ithaca on saturday night. Im not gonna go into details about it…yet, there will be constant postings im sure.

Anyways on to the shelf, I really should have been saving every possible coin for the trip, cause my little brother has an iron liver, and I gotta figure out a way to break it. But I like to get DVD’s I havent got one in a while, and I also more importantly like DEALS.

I love going on vacation, I love setting out and checking out new places. I get this crazy feeling before I go somewhere new, like its never gonna happen, just cause I dont know what that place is like, I love that feeling. I also love getting ready for a trip, knowing where your going, and being excited to hit up some old familiar places. This upcoming trip is a combo of the two, cause Im flying into Indy, and road tripping to NY, and I also dont know what my little brothers new pad is like, so Im stoked about that whole adventure. Getting till friday night when I take off is the hard part, and where the long days of uncertainty come into play. Im literally crawling inside trying to figure out who we are gonna draft come thursday evening, Im borderline sick about it. If that were’nt sad enough, Im worried I may not get iPhone in time for the trip. Could I be more of a useless american ? Screw it, I love Apple, and the Trail Blazers are so fucking back either way you look at it, So I gotta be stoked right ? Its just dragging out the time before my vacation, its literally freaking me out. Coupled with this darkness not showing up till 10pm bullshit, and me going to bed early just so I can get one day closer to the prize, I dont think I have seen darkness in a couple weeks, seriously, Its tripping me out. I love that shit. Like in the winter, when I wake up in the dark, get to work in the dark, stay late so I leave when its dark, maybe get 40 mins of daylight thanks to nicotine. Thats the best time of year man, fuckin fall and winter, I can’t wait to have you back.
