Michigan

Another post from the Ipod LOL I swear this thing has become attached to my body! LOL

I have a definate love/hate thing with Michigan. I love the state. It’s beautiful! Especially the west coast (sorry Detroit). Lake Michigan is as close to an “ocean” as a lot of folks will ever get. Awesome beaches! Lighthouses, panoramic vistas… I know I sound like a brochure but it’s true LOL

On the other hand, the economy sucks. The roadways are horrible. Drugs are everywhere. And DONT get me started about the weather! 30 degrees one day and 75 the next and snow 2 days later! Only in Michigan…

But everytime I leave it, I keep coming back to it LOL something keeps pulling me back. So I guess this is where I belong…maybe I’ll finally make it up to Mackinac this summer!

Life…in general…

Sometimes I sit and think back on the many things that have shaped my life and made me the man I am today.  I wonder who (if any) different I would be if I had made choices other than what I did.

I mean, there’s not too much that I have done in my life that I really regret, other than my failed marriage.  I’ve had my crazy highs and lived through some depressing lows but overall I think I’ve led a pretty decent life.

I think wacthing my grandmother go through physical therapy as she trys to recuperate from knee replacement surgery has me thinking about my mortality.  Not being fatalistic by any means, its just that I have so much more I’d like to do with my life yet.  So much more I’d like to do with my kid.  So much time I’d love to devote to someone who loves me.  Gads I’m sounding like a Lifetime movie LOL

I’m really starting to think its time to seriously think about “settling down”.  Man what does that mean?

Watchmen

The Watchmen. Possibly the best of the “super hero” movies made yet. Definately an adult feature. Lots of graphic violence and nudity, but suprisingly, none of it felt gratuitous.

I’d read the graphic novel previously, so I was prepared to be disappointed by a watered down version. I was totally wrong. The movie is very true to the novel almost page for page. Captures all of the frustration, angst, and despair of the original story. It’s a long movie but it had my attention from begining to end. I recommend this movie!

Side note: who knew dr. Manhattan was a nudist? LOL
Rated R – violence nudity strong sexual content

WordPress for iphone

So I’m typing this Post on my iPod touch using WordPress for IPhone. So far it’s a so so experience.

It’s nice being able to post from my bed using my iPod, but the virtual keyboard really isn’t conducive to typing of any decent amount.

Other than that, the app works as advertised. Easy to post or edit posts. What more do you really need?

I recommend this app.

my addiction

I love my ipod touch.  Well thats a bit of an under statement.  I am addicted to the gadget.  I play with it all day. (no sick comments lol)  Take it with me everywhere.  Music is probably the least used application on it.  I am totally addicted to the Itunes App store.  I have probably downloaded over 60 apps/games/whatever so far and havent had the ipod a good month yet!  I use the calendar application extensivley.  I have 1102 photos on it and a ton of games.  Periodically I will do app/game/accessory and other ipod related reviews.  That should be fun LOL  Incase you’re wondering why I just didnt get the Iphone, its because I currentlyhave an awesome phone, the Helio Ocean.  I love that phone, plus the plan is a good one.  Way cheaper than the current Iphone plans from AT&T.  So I got the touch.  Also just about everywhere I go has wi-fi so its not inconvienient.  More later…

Welcome!

Thanks for visiting my blog.  This is my second attempt at a blog.  My first failed due to lack of experience (lol) and a lack of interest.  Basically I didnt have much to talk about.  Or rather i didnt have a focus.  So I let that one die until I did find my focus.  Thus, this blog was born

It’s not going to be an everyday thing.  But it will be updated pretty frequently, especially since I know have WordPress on my Ipod Touch, so I can blog on the fly (i so love technology).

So enjoy, and please, feel free to comment!  Peace…
