I'd like to add...

A few other things that I believe are EVIL.
Besides Apple of course.

1. Idiot drivers who run into Baskin Robins and kill 4 year old boys eating ice cream. Really, who does this. And then runs. Like, yeah, run! Your going to get away! You just killed 3 innocent people! Can I say IMMIGRATION?!?!?!

2. Chocolate. Why must you hold me prisoner of your deliciousness.

3. HFCS. Meaning, HELLO FRICKEN CORN STUPIDNESS. AKA high fructose corn syrup. Why are you in my Wheat Thins? And why are you in my Fiber One Oats over Chocolate bar? And why oh why are you in my BREAD? It's almost as if food manufacturers are like, WANNA HAVE A COMPETITION TO SEE WHO CAN MODIFY NATURAL INGREDIENTS AND ADD THE MOST TO THEIR PRODUCTS?! Oooh! Oooh! Yes! Lets turn Western Civilization consumers into laboratory rats and see what Trans Fats, Hydrogenated Oils/fats, HFCS, Sucrose, Aspartame, and pretty much every other cop-out ingredient available, does to their babies babies? Beware all, the FDA is allowing our food to guarantee our children will have flippers!

4. Obama's new propaganda commercial defacing McCain with the song, "I don't know much about the economy, don't know much about ...." It gets stuck in my head IMMEDIATELY. And then the rest of the day I'm singing about my lack of knowledge of economics. Yawn, so over presidential slander.

To be continued....

Apple strikes again.

So I've already commented on the Apple conspiracy that I see developing.
They mess with peoples minds.

THEY HAVE STRUCK AGAIN.

Well my lovely Ipod (which was until recently my favorite thing ever, thank you Apple) all of a sudden decided to give a sort of "sad face" I like to call it the "sad mac" in reference to the Sex and the City episode where Carrie's (like me!) laptop just decided to PFFFFT give up life.
This sad face had me making sad fAces. So I immediately took it to the Apple store. Hoping that they would resurrect my one love. Considering I DID NOT DROP, GET WET, OR DO ANY PERSONAL DAMAGE TO THE IPOD, i figured they would just replace it! I've only had it a year!

WRONG.

It was actually 1 year, 1 month, and 3 days old. Which means that I get SQUAT diddly for my 350$ investment. Thank you Apple.

How lovely for it to committ suicide ONE MONTH after my "factory warranty" has gone up.

SO APPLE TELL ME THIS. ARE YOUR HIGHLY EXPENSIVE ELECTRONIC DEVICES ONLY SUPPOSED TO LAST ONE YEAR AND ONE MONTH? IS THIS CORRECT? THAT A PERSON WHO SPENT FULL PRICE ON A 30 GIG VIDEO IPOD CAN EXPECT NOTHING WHEN THE HARDWARE DECIDES TO UP AND CRAP OUT?!

In conclusion. Apple. Is. The. Devil.
I hate them.
I hate Apple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bicycling: friend or foe?

So today I decided to try a different exercise. I love to bike, but since I have moved away from my cute little college-bike-friendly-town, I've been a little put off of the whole idea of sucking in car fumes and being given the "bird" by passerby cars.
Today I found a few things wrong with riding a bike in a town like mine:
1.) Road kill. I saw more dead animals than I ever wanted to see.
2.) The magical dissappearing sidewalk. One second- sidewalk! The next-no sidewalk!
3.) The heavy flow of traffic that finds it absolutely necessary to swerve anxiously into the next lane for fear of my bicycling skills. Like, come on, pro here ya'll.
4.) Various bugs flying in out or aroung my mouth and or forehead.

Although, I still love my bicycle. My town is NOT bicycle friendly. No sidewalks. No bike lanes. Dead animals sprayed throughout the road. I WANT MY CUTE BICYCLE-FRIENDLY-COLLEGE-TOWN back!!

Oh, and considering I was the only person biking throughout the entire town (minus one old man in a big house-big mortgage neighborhood far far from my one bedroom eighteen attendents neighborhood where you wonder why that family has so many cars and realize moments later its because theres that many people living there) it was no surprise to me when the "cat calls" by old construction workers followed in my BIKE DUST!

All I can say is I need a plan.

I must make the bike thing work for me as for the treadmill is getting (YAWN) old.

I hate apple.

I have ALWAYS wanted a MacBook. One of the really super G-tricked-out-1400-$-a-pop-Mac-Books. I have always thought they looked SO much cooler, and I love the idea of "why be stuck behind Gates and Windows when you can be free with an Apple" seriously, who thought of that? Steve Jobs was that you? Very good. (I'm studying PR and I'd so love to take credit for Apple's marketing--but not so much for their fairness)

And by fairness I mean the fact that Apple is playing with us all. And all of our emotions.

They get us excited just to hold out and let us down.

For instance: my boyfriend.

He waited in lines every morning for a week to get this new 16 gig 3G Iphone(yawn)

Apple continuously toyed with his emotions.

They wouldn't update their site saying which stores would get in phones (I even think they lied a couple of times... they're stirring the pot for sure)

They opened early on the one day my boyfriend didn't hit snooze and "would have" been first in line, had the store not opened 2 hours earlier than they said they were going to.

They only get a "certain number" in... but here's the kicker--one employee told my boyfriend that they have some left overs from "yesterday". Well guess what. My boyfriend was there yesterday and they had "sold out."

Someones selling out for sure.

These are just a few of the ways that Apple wants to take our poor little consumer driven westernized american minds and turn them into Apple-hungry (and I don't mean the obesity fighting apple -hungry) people!


But here's why I'm angry.

This is me. This is me on my computer. This is me on my computer trying to put the itunes I bought and or borrowed from my boyfriend, VERY LEGALLY AND TRYING TO PUT THEM ONTO MY COMPUTER WHILE ITUNES DOES EVERYTHING IN ITS POWER TO MAKE THIS THE MOST DIFFICULT FRUSTRATING EVENT IN ME-AND-MY-COMPUTER HISTORY.
I give up.
Apple- you win.
BTW_I think everyones kicking themselves in the ass because they didn't invent the Ipod. Seriously, Apple, that saved you. AND YOUR LUCKY.
