I Don't Want A iPhone.

And I don't need one. As a matter of fact, I could care less; but apparently since Paris Hilton has destroyed any real research teams at various news sources, they had to have some filler and the iPhone was it.

I don't want the iPhone because it isn't cool, it is technologically speaking probably the best phone on the market. All of the issues people are complaining about are really non-issues, now that there will be true business e-mail support. The selective voicemail is awesome, the browser is awesome and AT&T bumped Edge for better performance, auto WiFi is awesome, and there isn't anything close to 8 GB currently available in the micro SD card slot market for the next year. (Samsung announced production this time next year of an 8 GB card, assuming whatever devices are out support it)

But the fact of the matter is that I dropped my iPod for everything short of hiking/skiing years ago. I've got a mp3 cd-player in my car and 700 megs of mp3s are more than enough for my average driving, really can you fit entire bands catalogs on a single cd, which is a medium that cars are designed to carry. I'm never walking anywhere for more than 10 minutes as I live in a city were you really have to drive anywhere. I'd rather watch videos on my laptop or HDTV than on a 7" screen (the same reason I don't own a PSP), I don't need to e-mail on the fly, I barely use text messages; I use my phone to make phone calls. My phone was free, the iPhone is at least $500 before service plan.

Now don't get me wrong, the iPhone is cool, it is nice, it has a lot of good features for people who are always on the run especially if they have business needs... but I don't fit those requirements, so I'm ok. But to each his own.

The World Is Still Going To Hell

You haven't missed much in the past year, school, work, and the world is still going to hell.

We are in a war that has no signs of ending, we are stripped of our basic rights and the past year can be summed up by two major events.

Of course I am talking about Anna Nicole Smith and Paris Hilton. Two worthless, trashy, people who apparently have the world revolve around them. I have never been so sickened in my life. Now, I didn't know that being a whore made you a role model or a status symbol, and that lack of self control made you a role model; but this isn't the world I live in.

Anna Nicole Smith, who in her own ignorance kills herself, gets the front page of the Newspaper. Like a druggie dying is front page news, I mean I would have understood it if they photoshopped one of those dunce hats on her, or if they put "This is a prostitute on drugs" as the title, but these people actually seemed to care about a "role model" who had nothing to give to the world. There were important things going on in the world, but by the way the media handled it, it seemed like Anna Nicole was the new 9/11. Months later it is still mentioned about every 30 seconds, and a little vomit sneaks it's way up my throat and into my mouth.



Not to be outdone, Paris Hilton, who is about as clean as roadkill herself, drives with a suspended license 35 mph over the speed limit without headlights, carrying the documents that say she can't drive signed by herself. You know the license that got suspended for driving under the influence of which she forgot to enroll in her mandated alcohol classes. So a girl who makes a name for herself sleeping with anything that moves is now a victim because she got convicted of a crime she actually did. So now she is out... and CNN dumps Michael Moore for an interview with her.



Now, I am not a huge Michael Moore fan. He lies, it's not a big secret; he is like a scientologist, if it supports his cause there is nothing wrong with lying. But the fact of the matter is, even though he is a pompous arrogant lying blubbering moron. He is at least qualified to talk politics and issues in the news to some degree. He educates himself on something other than a bottle of liquor and some random naked guy. And that in my opinion makes him 1000x better for actual news.

So yeah, CNN I don't watch your crap. Anna Nicole shouldn't be 80% of your lineup for a month, and Paris Hilton shouldn't be encouraged to even open her mouth.

Well that is that. Vote Ron Paul
