iPhone Advent

I have been trying to get Final Fantasy Tactics on my iPhone 3G for a few weeks now, but I haven’t been successful at all.  I finally figured out that my phone just can’t cope with the load of games like that.  That’s why I’m waiting for the next iPhone.

Of course, if they make me wait too long, I’m going to go start looking at other phones.  The HTC HD7 looks interesting, and maybe I’ll give Android phones a shot.

Still, the iPhone 5 is my main choice right now, unless Apple comes up lame with this one.  Let’s see if they can change everything.  Again.

Diamonds are Forever, and they’re priced right, too

While I am notorious as a terrible gift giver, I came up with an AMAZING gift for my GF this year.  It’s so amazing, it’s probably the best gift I have given to anybody in my life.  It’s so stupendous that I just realized there’s no way to top it except to give more of the same thing, or maybe the everlon diamond knot collection.  I’m not going to tell you guys what I gave her, but let’s just say it set me back a few.

Anyway, I’m just glad that’s done.  Choosing gifts stress me out; it’s really not one of my finer skills.  Receiving gifts, on the other hand.. well, I’m GREAT at that.

Dog’s Life

Whenever I see movies where there are dogs involved, I always feel like I want to get one.  I don’t want a small dog, either; I want those big ones that can really strike fear in people.  Of course, it’s the cost and hassle of owning one that stops me.  With dogs come mange, dog food expenses, vet expenses, and a lot of other things I don’t want to spend on.
If I do get a dog, though, I want something like a Siberian Husky or something.  A wolf would be great, but let us not be unrealistic here.  Let’s stick to the domesticated breeds.  They’re a lot cheaper, and probably a lot safer, too.

Gift Problems

I’m terrible at giving gifts.  Birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, anything.  It’s never been a problem with my family because we all suck at it, so nobody really notices.  However, my GF is a great gift giver, so I am feel the need to reciprocate.  She’ll accept anything, but a guy’s gotta have some pride!  I can’t let her out-gift me ALL the time.

I think I’ve been doing pretty well the past few occasions, though.  Nothing great, but huge improvement.  No cheap online anniversary gift shopping.  I think I’ve figured out the secret, though.  Spend a lot.  It usually works! Men, write that down!

Work Stuff

I have been thinking about how to make things more efficient at the office, and I have decided that technology is the answer.  Well, it’s either that or laying some people off, which I don’t really want to do.  Maybe a new barcode scanner to speed purchases along would help.  I mean, we can’t get any more inefficient.

Of course, I guess that’s just how things have always been done.  My family has never been the picture of efficiency when it came to business, and maybe I inherited some of that.  Well, time to make a change!  Somebody’s gotta break the chain, might as well be me.

Tech Problems!

I’m not good with technology.  I can’t tell what s video cables are, I don’t know what plug goes where, and I don’t know the difference between LCD and LED.  However, I do know that I love Apple products.

Which is why I’m kind of torn.  I mean, I want to get myself the newest iPhone model when it comes out, but I’m also cheap, and I feel like waiting for the one after that is the more prudent move.  Still, the heart wants what it wants, so we’ll see what happens.

Athlete’s Dream

Sometimes, I sit back and think about how much my game has regressed over the years.  I can’t blame it on old age because technically, I should be in my athletic prime.  I guess it’s just that I have let myself go and gotten really fat.  I’m around 20 pounds heavier than I was when I was lighting them up for 20 every night.

I feel like a superstar college athlete who has stopped playing sports and now sells graded benefit life insurance.  Sure, it’s an honorable job, but one usually handled by sort of fat people.  Which is exactly what I am now.  Got to get back to the gym.  I shouldn’t be this fat.  At least not until I’m in my late 50s.

Driving Away!

Sometimes, I have to wonder what it is with old people and motorhomes.  For some reason, I see all these old people packing their lives up and driving across the country in their RVs.  It’s crazy, seriously.  The motorhome insurance people must be making a killing.  Case in point: the third Transformers movie.  Sam’s parents drove in to visit him in their motorhome.  Doesn’t anybody ever drive normal sized cars anymore?

Anyway, maybe cars just aren’t my thing.  I mean, I couldn’t care less what car I drove.  If it’s got wheels, air conditioning, and gets me from point A to B, I’m happy.  Not exactly the best judge for motor vehicles.

Rings and Lebron

Sometimes, I wonder if I can wear a wedding ring.  I mean, sure, sometimes I worry about whether I can pay for one, but let’s talk me and allergies.  For some reason, I can’t wear necklaces, watches, and bracelets.  I’m assuming that I can’t wear rings, either.  Then again, if makemypromisering.com makes me an offer to be the face of their company, I won’t complain.

Until then though, I will be like Lebron James.. ringless.  Sorry, I couldn’t help it!

Speaking of Lebron James, man, did you guys know that he does yoga?  Who would’ve thought a large dude like that could be so balanced and flexible?

Imitation of Life

One thing I have learned in life is that it is not like TV.  On Grey’s Anatomy, you see all these doctors in their white coats.  In real life?  They’re wearing scrubs uniforms, and they’re not nearly in as good shape.  No Katherine Heigls, man.  It’s just an illusion.

Also, the KFC chicken in the commercial looks better than anything you will ever find at the restaurant.  Inexplicably, it smells better, too.  What’s the point of this post?  No point.  I’m just killing time while waiting for my show to come on.  Can anybody here spell “IRONY?”  I thought so.
