Well, I had it all planned out in my head (or so I'd like for you to think...) and I was all ready to sit down and write this awesome piece on everything. And then the Phillies had to suck, a lot of a lot, and put me in all sorts of a terrible mood. Also, whoever was in the Card's locker room with the stuffed squirrel mocking the Phillies should be castrated. Also, idiot, the at bat with the squirrel ended up in an out anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Even though I'm upset, I can't really be too upset. Philly played like shit. It's that simple. They gave up stupid runs, their defense was nowhere to be found, and they couldn't hit. No, I take that last one back, they couldn't even fucking swing the bat. But, I guess I've just created an awesome segue (not to be confused with the awesome standing scooter thing, which would be even more awesome had I just created one of those. And I will shortly ruin the seguetion (yes, now a word...) by continuing to ramble way beyond the point of no return. If I didn't, I wouldn't be me! :) ) I think. Sure, professional/collegiate sports are fun, good, and awesome. They give us hope, role models, and a way to bring people closer (or further apart, which I guess is where I will be getting, eventually, maybe, knowing myself.) Why am I upset that a sports team that I in no way have any stake in is no longer in contention to be the World Champions? Why, in general, do we personalize everything to the point that we get into arguments/fights over what amounts to stupid, meaningless bullshit in the long run? Hell, even ever, for that. But we DO make big deals about these things, when we have nothing to do with any of it. I guess I can blame the Internetz, because it gives every asshole a voice, and a very big wall to hide behind, but I'm sure parenting also comes into play; where has respect gone? More and more it seems people don't give one solitary shit about anything outside of their beliefs or anything that will somehow benefit them? Why does it always seem that there are ulterior motives behind someone's reasoning to do or not do something and anything? Am I just hanging around stupid sanctimonious scumbags too much? Or am I the smug motherfucker with my head so far up my own asshole that I can see the light of day through the other side? I guess it's like the age-old question: How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop? The world may never know. Enough of that horse manure (I hate manure!), time to get back on track (I seriously don't think that is possible for me, but I shall try, because I love you so much. Yes, you, and only you!).
What the fuck is up with the disappointment that is the new iPhone 4S?! Now, it's so easy to pick on, I'm going to skip past the fact that it's been longer than the normal yearly cycle, because, well, in Apple's plan for domination of the U S of A, they released the iP4 mid product cycle for Verizon, and that whole difficult time painting shit white was another later delay which held people over. That whole 16 (?) month thing is a non-issue in my book. Anybody that makes it one is just grasping at straws (that is a saying, right?). But let's just recap really quick, what this year's phone has added to the last. I'm using TiPB's list and adding a couple of things from the front page of apple's iphone site because I'm too lazy to actually think for myself... =]
-A5 (probably underclocked iPad2 chip)
-Worse battery life (yet people are claiming it better?)
-Intelligent switching antenna system (possibly stolen from Samsung... seriously, hahaha)
-HSPA+ 14.4 (which when they announced must have forgotten about LTE... oops?) (also, not even 21 or 42... the cheapest/slowest one of the bunch...
-World phone
-8 MP camera
-1080p video recording (why? Seriously, why?)
-SIRI (disabling it if you have the app on an iP4... also, why?)
-option of 64 GB (read: more money to be made, although, with the whole double density NAND needed, debatable/questionable)
-Sprint's network (idk, it's new...)
-iOS5 (you can send cards now... lol)
-twitter integration in the system. My android phone has a whole bunch of integration for a whole bunch of apps from anywhere in the system, including a file explorer/manager...
-iCloud/iTunes Match (meh, I don't need my iPad and phone to have identical files... different uses and all)
-improved notifications (which I read a fanboi say not in jest that Android stole...)
-OTA Backups/updates (cool I guess, have fun with destroying the bandwidth on your wifis/finally)
-Bluetooth 4.0 (for some reason people don't focus on this, and I find it pretty sweet)
Things “we” didn't get:
-bigger screen (seriously 3.5” is tiny! And don't even give me ZOMG POCKET TABLET! 4.3” SGS2 VS iP4:
125.3 X 66.1 X 8.5 mm
115.2 X 58.6 X 9.0 mm
which gives:
10.1 X 7.5 X -0.5 mm
or
1.01X .75 X -.05 cm
and with the whole 2.54 cm/in to put it in terms we know...
1.01/2.54 = a hair above 3/8”
also, that bezel is terribly ugly! It's so big!!!! and yes, that is what she said.... ;])
-more RAM (arguable, would prob help with 1080P recording etc...)
-new design (can go either way I guess, but looking at the same thing for 28 months would drive me bat-shit)
-real 4G (apple is afraid of “bad battery life” yet my 4G LTE Android phone gets the same battery life my iP4 got... seriously)
-NFC (it's not there, just mentioning it... )
-facetime over 3G (guess it could be the carrier's call, but I can skype over 3G...)
Okay, I get it, specs aren't everything, but they do mean something. Also, can I seriously ask what the fuck is so necessary about setting a calendar appointment by using my voice? I mean, Google Voice Search does enough: “Text (name) (message)” and it does, I just have to hit the send button. “weather” google searches what the weather and forecast is, IDGAF that it doesn't bring up some crayola colored weather app, the information is there, that's all it needs. Also, Google's voice search is awesome; pick up an Android phone, hit the voice search button (or long press the search button, seems slightly familiar... =p) and say “Tommy Tutone” It comes up with “Tommy Tutone” not “Tommy Two Tone” or “Tommy Too Tone(/d)”. Seriously is slightly scary how well it works, most of the time... Also, I don't use that feature that much because, well, I'm not living in a Sci-Fi movie, and that shit is gay and pointless. When are you honestly going to use that? Although, I guess, people do bring their iPad2 to concerts to take pictures, so I guess that just shows the douchery of some of these fucktards that buy apple products. Seriously, die. And another thing, the event was called “Let's Talk iPhone!” yet they didn't really talk that much about the iPhone. Maybe 1/3 of it, max, was about the iPhone out of a 1:35 presentation.
And, if you know me, you know that I'm all about Android. Why? I couldn't give you a solid answer, it just works for me. I had the iPhone and got rid of it in a month, traded my 32GB for a beat to shit Incredible and a Xoom and could have not been happier. Even for the Dinc and a little cash I would have been more than happy. The iPhone just didn't do enough for me. Even after jailbreaking, I was so limited in what I could and couldn't do. Apps don't have settings, really, there is no customization to the extent that all your shit is on the home screen or a folder. There is no app drawer. Sure, you can customize some shit when you JB, and ask anyone that was friends with me on facebook when I had it how many times I uploaded a screen grab of my modified version of the lockscreen until I was happy with it. I probably change my set-up once or twice a month on Android, and I can easily make it look cleaner/differentiated from stock set-up. It may not always be as childish to customize/code for, but I can figure it out eventually. I even figured out how to code it to get the weather and date on the bottom of the home screen... Which was cool, I guess. Just wasn't for me. Do I understand that Android is not for everyone? Very much so. To my family, I've recommended 2 iPhones, an Android, and a Blackberry and each of those people couldn't be happier with what they got. Also, this whole thing where people are afraid of not knowing how to use an Android phone or saying that it's impossible to use, tell that to my father who still doesn't know how to turn on the TV he's had since 1996. Seriously, 15 years later.
I was honestly excited for the new iPhone announcement. Even though I wasn't going to get it, it's still exciting to see what else is out there. Also, the iPhone usually sets the bar and then Android phones about catch up in the next year until the iPhone again raises the bar. However much I don't like to admit that, it's how it has been for a while... But this year it was different. I really didn't see anything new/exciting offered other than the camera. The major things I'm referencing to are:
screen: SGS2 LTE HD wins, no questions asked.
Radios: world phone is cool, I guess, but Verizon LTE phones win
processor: same as SGS2 for all intensive purposes and in the next year, iP4S will be blown out of the water
Camera: I can't deny it, iPhone win no questions asked. For me, that's why I have a T3. At least, that's how I shall justify it :p
Maybe Apple's magic spell is finally wearing off? I've been saying for about a year, to my mom, that Apple is falling apart. Nothing to do with Steve (RIP), just in general. My first Apple product was an iMac G3, followed by a powerbook G4, and then two macbooks. (not trying to earn any hipster cred, just saying...) Way back when, Apple was amazing, their computers were leaps and bounds ahead of anything Windows had to offer, and they worked how I wanted a computer to work. The iPad, which I got the day it came out, was amazing! Slowly, though, the awesomeness is wearing off. And even though I was all about Android, I got excited about the iPhone coming to Verizon, finally getting a chance to really use it, see how good it really was. It could be summed up with my feelings for OSX; meh. I'm sure that the original iPhone was amazing compared to the competition, but how Apple goes about business (putting shareholders first, blah blah blah) disgusts me a little. Their lawyers even said (paraphrasing) they don't want Samsung to be able to sell anything because they want to trap people in the iOS ecosystem. That is, offer them a half-assed product they need to spend lots of money on so when they go to upgrade, with all the money that had invested in the platform, they will feel forced to stay with that platform. Look it up if you don't believe me. I'll wait. And, to an extent, the iPhone has been an example of this.
iOS1: Didn't need anything, just awesome for its time...
iOS2: 3G
iOS3: copy and paste and MMS(not even at launch)
iOS4: I think we know what it can do now...
Honestly, they give people enough to hold on that should have already been there before, and they got away with it because they could. Now? People are seemingly not putting up with the BS any more. Probably due to the rate at which other platforms are moving forward. Where has the awesome company that once went ahead, above and beyond, trying new tech gone? You can only get so big before you become the bad guy.
And in slightly related news, Samsung and Google broke my heart this morning by postponing the announcement/demo of ICS and the Galaxy Nexus/Prime/whatever out of respect for Steve Jobs. Also, they didn't want their release to be swallowed by the overabundance of news about his death. Honestly, people are acting like it was their fucking father that died. Stop it. Sure, he had a profound impact on all of our lives, but it's not like nobody saw it coming. Surviving 10 years with pancreatic cancer is a hell of a fight, but he wasn't hit by a truck or something out of the blue. We all knew it was coming. And yea, go ahead, call me insensitive, IDGAF. Also, would Steve have postponed iP4S's announcement had Eric Schmidt died had the tables been turned? You had better say no, because Steve Jobs was one hell of a business man, an amazing leader, but a fucking asshole at the same time. Denied paternity of his first child and had a book written so his children would know "who he was." Seriously? Go fuck yourself. That of course is only the tip of the iceberg, but I don't feel like ranting, i think i may be sick. lol. Whoa, whoa, whoa S dot, Mr. Meezy, have some respect for the dead! Eh, somebody had to say it. Go read Gawker's article, scumbag. (him, not you) And, well, somebody has to say it: The iPhone 4S killed Steve Jobs. Not a negative thing, per se, but he really took pride in his work, and he obviously worked on the iP4S, and it most likely crushed him. When it was met with such a shitty response, a response where people were not happy to be shit on any more, well that was a world SJ did not want to be a part of. 24 hours later, dead. End of story. Call me an asshole, I don't give a single fuck.
sorry i didn't ramble enough, just wasn't feeling it.

I Feel Like A Piece o' Shit... Realization: Self-Worth = 0
So, I've been meaning to put up a new post for a while, I really have (maybe, I can't remember that far back(What? Oh, right, I never specified a time-frame for the wanting of the writing of a new posting...(sh!)))) but I just can't sit down and write, it's not that easy for me, damnit! I mean, I'm not just going to sit down and put out garbage just for a quick laugh. (What? Oh, yea, I do put out garbage, nevermind...) But seriously though, I wish I could just sit down and always have something to write about, I find it very therapeutic to just let out the other half of my schizophrenia come out and play from time to time. So, since we've last spoken, it was May. For the life of me, I have no idea when May was. (You know, other than … good thing I have Asperger (that shit's not funny to joke about) plus 4, carry the 2, divide by zero... uh, 3 months ago...?) I have fallen into this pit of nothingness, a black whole of self-pity and wallowing and other such stuff of the sort, and I don't know how to correct it. No, I'm ain't no gay getting all emotional and other sich weak pussy stuff of the sorts, but I think i'm being honest. For once. To myself. I mean, I'm not bragging at all (totally am, you bitches suck cuz you aint got the shit I do! HAHA! SUCKERS!!!(No, seriously(can I be serious?(IDK)))) but I have really been blessed (not necessarily in the God has provided for me all of these wonderful things kind of way. I mean, I do believe in a higher Being/Power per se, but not quite the image of “God” that the church(es/other denominatorial place things) paints Him out to be, but there is something up there. I mean, fuck, nobody has proven Him to not be there, so according to science and the scientific … uh, theory?, He still technically even exists to science. Funny thing about science, nothing is ever proven true, it just isn't proven false which makes it true. Kinda silly... Yea, that was also my major, and what my degree is all about. A B(ull)S(hit) in Biology. And it is just that, bull shit. Because what the fuck do you do with a science degree? Look at plants, collect bugs, have sex with road-kill, stare into a microscope and watch viruses get it on all day? Or maybe become a nurse and/or doctor and/or something else in the health-care field. Well, sadly, I don't really believe in “health” and “care” in the same sentence, especially the way that it is practiced. It isn't about saving people, well, sure, to an extent I guess it is, but it really isn't. It's a business, a fucking ludicrous, bull-shit business, just like that of the college world. College doesn't really mean shit anymore; the only thing getting a college degree anymore does is no longer allow you to work for a fast food “restaurant” which I wasn't going to do anyway. Oh, it also empties out your pockets. Luckily, I am what some people consider “smart” apparently, yea, I know, I don't see it either, but hey, there's a fool born every minute, so they say! So, I got to go to school without paying for tuition. Hurray! Then, after I went on to Chiro school, well, that wasn't on the, uh, whoever/whatever was paying for my prior schooling, so I have a wee bit of debt from that, nothing major, but debt none-the-less. That's all fine and dandy though, nothing I can't handle with my huge weekly paycheck of $0.00! Oh, right, fuck. Good thing my loan is paid through December 2012 (come on whatever that next thing that is supposed to destroy the planet that's supposed to happen dec '12) and it is deferred even further (I think until March '13 because I took some classes @ the community college round these ways) so IDK if the extra paid off time gets added after March 2013, or whatever, not like it really matters anyway, but yea, fuck! So, yea, what a horrible idea Chiro school was, well, kind of, with the whole money I owe them for “nothing” kinda deal. Also for picking Biology in general as my major. But well, at one time in my life I actually wasn't the cynical asshole whose blog you read every so often, and I actually cared about people and wanted to help them. I know, I know, what was I thinking? Well, I'm not really sure, to be completely honest. (Partly due to the fact that I can't even remember to what the point of this blog was, and i've only been typing for like 20 mins max. A squirrel would beat me in a game of memory for the sake of fuck!) But well, no, kinda, idk. I mean, I was always strong in Math and Science, and well, I wasn't about to be a Mathematician (whatever it is they do, other than add stuff together for fun, which it is!) so I figured I would be a Scientologist. (What? Oh, right, sorry, scientist.) But, when you're like me (aside from crazy) and don't believe in medicine, in general, as a whole, even, possibly, well, your options for helping people are limited. At first I was thinking about doing therapeutic rec or occupational therapy. (I say or because currently don't remember which one, they're practically one in the same anyway!) Both are cool, I guess, in their own right, and I've always been an active dude (until recent, that is, whatever) but I mean, I'm better than that. No, I know, i'm not trying to belittle what they do at all, but honestly, I am. Everyone has a place, and that wasn't for me. So, I reached a little higher, dug a little deeper into my brain. New answer to the question: Chiropractor! Long story short, a chiropractor pretty much “saved” my life. No, I wasn't dying of a neuropraxia, but my back was injured quite badly in an unfortunate turn of events which I will disclose to you now.
It was a warm Summer night, the bees were chirping and the birds were buzzing. Lightning bugs lit up the path to the lake. I had traveled it so many times that I could do it with my eyes closed, but it was a magnificent sight to see even so. You would have loved it! Had I said, “Hey (insert your name here), come meet me at the lake tonight!” Your obvious reply would have been, “But I don't know how to get there.” To which my answer could have been, “Just follow the path set forth by the lightning bugs, they will lead you to me, into my arms.” (I hope you're a hot chic, because if not, that might be slightly homosexual...(also to note, why the fuck are they called lightning bugs?! Seriously, they do not look like lightning at all. Like even the slightest. They are a tiny floating green flashing orb. Maybe gay disco bug or something, not lightning bug. Lightning is so manly and destructive, and lightning bugs are, well, gay as fuck. Yea, I said it, but I know everyone was thinking it, and if you weren't, well you were once I said it. I win!) But, I digress. The air was warm, still and calm, there had been a storm earlier that day which had taken the abrasive humidity with it. I had just received great news earlier in the day, and was feeling absolutely terrific. With my lightened mood, I decided to climb up the hill on the one side of the lake, to where the rope swing was, and swing off over the water, letting go of the rope just past the middle point of the arc. Well, as it turns out, the good news did not affect my luck in any way, and quite possibly made it worse. After applying a heavy layer of moon-screen on my exposed skin, so as to not turn into a werewolf, my hands were too slippery to hold onto the rope! I even climbed to the tree behind the swing, which on a branch halfway up the tree, was a perfect launching point for the swing. I had never been brave enough before to do such a silly thing, and to this day I still wonder why I did it, and have been unable to come up with any logical reason to this day. So, from the middle branch of the tree, I swoop down like a falcon attacking my prey, only to realize that I forgot the rope! I was holding onto a balloon string that had gotten stuck in the tree from the party the night before, and as soon as my legs left the safety of the branch, I knew I was going to be in for a world of hurt. Down I go, straight to the ground, like a bag of bricks, tumbling over and over like a ball rolling down a hill, and I quickly noticed that I was not slowing down one bit. I was actually picking up speed! How is this possible? Why am I not slowing down? What is happening? Is today Tuesday or Wednesday? Never mind, it's Friday. All of these thoughts kept running through my mind until I felt myself soaring, stuck in a free-fall for what felt like an eternity after I rolled off the edge of the cliff. Well, I thought, at least the water will break my fall a little more gently than the rocky terrain of the hill. I could not have been more wrong! As it turns out, there was a group of teenagers drinking on a boat they had stolen from the marina, and were parked, I guess it would be called, anchored possibly, directly underneath the cliff so the noise they made would bounce away from the direction of where the houses on the lake were. I fell flat on my back directly onto the hull of the boat, and the last thing I remember was the sound my body made, apparently Hollywood sound effects are more realistic than I had once thought! I came to, for a brief instance when I heard the teens trying to decide what to do with my body. What to do with my body?! Call 911! But my mouth could not form words, and no matter how hard my brain was screaming it, they could not hear me. Back to darkness. I came to again, as they were pushing my body off of the boat, my brain still unable to force my mouth to do anything, I was helpless. Well, as they were pushing me off, they must have also been reeling the anchor in, to get away and clean up the mess I had made, no doubt, as quickly as possible, because when I finally awoke, I was on my side, floating in thin air, with an anchor going directly through my spine! Long story short, chiropractor. (I'm quite anticlimactic lately... :\)
Real story, not as cool: soccer, tripped from behind, tumbled, ground shook apparently, couldn't move for three days, chiro, success. But whatever, a chiropractor had a huge impact on my life, and I have been going to one ever since, even if I'm not in pain, because it just works. And yea, it's scary at first, but nothing bad is going to happen, I promise you! (Back to wallowing) Okay, well, I wasn't the only one making my mind up as to becoming a chiro, and there were outside factors involved too (3+1 program would get me “out” of undergrad after my 4th yr after swapping majors after 2... yea, smooth as hell moves...) and, everyone around me was pushing me to be the best I could be (shocking they didn't tell me to join the army, or whatever has that slogan). And yea, as I said before, I was selling myself short, going with the premise of biology/science/”medicine” being my focus of study. Looking back, I kind of feel like I really didn't actually make that decision, but it was made for me. I also think my life hasn't been my own, i've been too worried trying to please other people and do what they think is right. Well, i'm sick of it. It's my fucking life, and I'm going to take control of it starting.... sometime. I have no money to go out on my own, no job, and no real “skills” (unless awesomeness is a skill that is useful in the workplace). And realizing this is just making me feel like a bigger bag of shit than my as-of-late-depressed-self has been, sw33t, so I'm going to leave this here. Lesson learned: put yourself first, listen to others with more knowledge, but in the end, it is your life. People can try and guide you, but don't follow their advice, listen to it, think about it, and realize whether or not it's what you want for you, not to make others happy. You only get one life, have fun, and live it how you want to, don't worry about what other people think/say.
Peace!

Use you brain, that's why you have one!
I'll give you this first, because it's huge, drawn-out, and boring. Unless you find arbitrary information about cell phones interesting and/or have a hatred for Apple as I do.
TL;DR
just because two things happen at the same time doesn't mean they are related
I hate Apple, I hate idiots, and the two seem to find each other
I've officially had enough, I'm beyond mad, and I only (partially) have myself to blame. Apple is slowly falling out of the spotlight, and I'm actually slightly concerned about this. Okay, slightly may be a bit of an understatement, and well, they haven't actually fallen out of anything because of irrelevant posts made in order to further hype up a dying fad. Yes, the iPhone is a fad, I said it, but I digress. I have myself to partially blame, because I was scrolling through Pulse and saw the article again, and wanted to shoot someone, a lot. Recently, Wednesday, August 17, a site on the top of my 54!7 list (why do I even bother going there anymore, seriously?), AppleInsider (the same site that included iPads in its “study” to make Apple out to be the “Top Mobile PC Vendor”... yes, iPad is apparently a portable computer, now... ), posted an article stating Verizon's market share of Android phones in the United States is “down dramatically” following the iPhone 4 launch. It goes on to further state that this “dramatic” “erosion” is due to the fact that the iPhone is now available on Verizon. A study that compares every Android phone (only!) based on ad views and categorizes the total Android phones based on carrier to show which U.S. carrier has what percentage of the Android sales/usage/market in America. How can this study of only Android phones say anything about the iPhone? An excellent question! You must go further, and take two more irrelevant pieces of information into account for this to even slightly start to make sense, which it still fails to do, if you have one-fifth of one half of a brain. Irrelevant info 1: Verizon finally launched its iPhone in February of this year. Irrelevant info 2: Verizon, according to ad views and this Chitika whatever, currently has ~24% of the U.S. iPhone market share. While we're at it, I'll add something for you, because well, it actually is relevant. Verizon launched the pre-order for the iPhone 4 at midnight on February 3, 2011, via online sales. I was there, and I was one of the idiots that stayed up late to pre-order the device to get it before it was available in stores, the following week. So, the first study by Chitika (I apologize if I make it the banana company by the end of the post, you'll understand, I hope...) was done at the end of March, arguably two months after the iPhone was released on Verizon, and Verizon had 51.418% of all the Android phones in the United States activated on its network. Another interesting fact: online pre-orders were apparently ridiculous for the iPhone, and in-store sales were less than stellar. On February 23rd, Chitika released a statement saying that after (the iPhone) being on Verizon for two weeks, Android's overall impressions across Chitika's network had actually risen! (spoiler alert: 500,000+ activations daily will do that. Yes, worldwide vs. U.S., but still...) (The article from feb) However interesting, this has little to do with the topic at hand, but still interesting none-the-less. But, further into the article, the end result is that the vPhone is taking away from everthing BUT Android; i.e. webOS (RIP), Blackberry, Windows Phone 7 (somehow, not really sure about that one) and the AT&T iPhone. Back to the point at hand: Verizon's U.S. share of the Android market has dropped since the iPhone came to Verizon. Before the iPhone was released on Verizon, AT&T didn't have to do anything to sell phones, and once Verizon was to offer this phone, they had to do something. Please, do tell me ONE Android phone on AT&T that was worth buying before February. I'll tell me for you; you can't. Another thing to keep in mind: Sprint and T-Mobile's share of the Android market in the U.S. has stayed the same, so we will ignore them for this discussion. Note (whatever I'm up to): US Cellular, MetroPCS, and Virgin Mobile had ~%2.5 of all US Android phones in March and are now up to 8.4%, including whatever other carriers are out there besides the big 4, but I can't really remember any phone they would have had, I assume it to be a variant of the Samsung Galaxy line, possibly an HTC desire, an even possibly the LG Optimus, although I'm not really sure when that came out. All of these other now dime-a-dozen $50 all-you-can-eat pre-paid plans which are now popular due to the fact that money is very tight for many people have added decent Android phones to their arsenals and are now advertising to that fact. Why would cheap cell phone plans take some of the wind away from arguably the most expensive plans in the country? OK, OK, I get it, all of my focus thus far has been on negating the veracity of the ridiculousness that is that post, but what about the other side? Am I stating with 100% certaintude that the iPhone has taken ZERO customers away from Android? No, not at all, I'm sure that people who had an Android phone have since gone to the iPhone because they do not like, understand, or easily use Android. And this next thought can go both ways (I guess it's bithoughtual); think about the popular Android phones on big V. Think about which ones are/were popular. The original adopters were going for the OG, November 2009, which means they are due for an NE2 (their last, at that, f'ing scumbags at Verizon) and I'm sure some of them have switched over to iOS. Next up, we have all of last Summer, a huge time for Android on Verizon. The Incredible, the X, the D2, the Fascinate, all HUGE phones. They are not due for an upgrade any time soon, well, maybe some with their last yearly upgrade on a primary line, but for the most part, I don't think anybody really knows about and/or uses that perk, so we'll call that non-existent(that and it no longer exists any more, but these people last Summer would be able to enjoy this “perk” one more time). Many people are not due for an upgrade, so I'm sure many people, instead of paying 600-700 smackeroos for a shiny new iPhone, are waiting out their stay with Android until they can get it at that sweet, sweet discounted price of 200-300$, right before and around next Summer. Apparently normal people keep the phone they get until they are due for an upgrade, silly people. So the only POSSIBLE way that anyone could be leaving a Verizon Android to go to iOS is if A) they had an OG Droid or B) they are paying full retail for an iPhone. Neither seems too likely, the breakdown: A) after 2 years with something, you get it, and if you get Android, you love it. B) I'm the only person on Earth that cares that much about phones that I buy a new one whenever a shinier one comes out (I've had the Storm, Evo, Glyde (?), Droid 2, iPhone, Incredible, and Revolution all in the past 12 months...and I can't wait until HOPEFULLY the Nexus phone finally comes to Verizon, hopefully). Next possibility, not necessarily leaving Android for iPhone, but going with iPhone over Android now that they have the option. Okay, possible, smartphones are more and more popular, and everyone is getting one. If there were no iPhone, people would be more than likely to grab an Android phone (WP7's only verizon offering is garbage, webOS isn't a contender, really, and well, Blackberry, lulz), but that isn't really taking away from Android, as the article implies. These massive increases to the ViPhone's army could be mostly first time smartphone buyers technically taking away from the Android user base, but again, not leaving as implied. A question for you; just because Verizon's overall percent is down, does that mean that the total number of users isn't up? We're just working off of percentages here, no numbers to show one way or the other. Isn't it logical to assume that this is a possibility? Not if you're trying to spin the Apple Hype Machine. I mean, logically, take 3 seconds to think, could all providers theoretically be up, just Verizon not growing as much as the others? But then you have the whole weird T-Mob and Sprint staying at about the same number, which makes that weird, but still possible.
Lets wrap this up, for I grow tired of this discussion:
Am I saying that not a single one person has left a Verizon branded Android device for a Verizon branded iPhone? Not in the slightest. What I am saying is that people need to stop allowing people to feed them information, and when told something, step back, and think about it for 5 seconds. You have a brain, use it. This is probably the reason why iOS is so popular, because people don't know how to use their brains, and well, luckily you don't need one to operate iOS. Kind of anti-climactic, isn't it? I had it all planned out to be all “POW!” but it didn't seem to come to that, because, common sense and knowledge are rarely exciting. You don't have to agree with me, it's my opinion based on the larger picture, just please, promise me you'll use your brain next time...

U.S.A.!
Preface: Two links are embedded in the text throughout, click both, enjoy.
So, it has been quite some time since I've sat down at my computer (no it hasn't, actually, I'm pretty much on it every day(wait, thinking about it, how does one “sit down” “at” anything?(am I just silly for thinking that?(I think I am(well, anyway, fuck you(you know what I meant, whether or not I know what I meant...))))))) (Also, once again, don't actually care to count how many parenthesis (parentesi?(does that word work like dice?)) are needed there, so, you can count and get back to me and I won't do shit about it :] ) and written anything for my “blog,” if it could even be called that. More like, uh, I swear I had something for that... (Archer anyone?) But in all honesty, I didn't have shit for it, because, if you couldn't tell from my lack of writing, that I'm just not that damn creative! And to steal something from Archer, to cover up the fact that I didn't have shit to say? Well, I think you get the picture, and if you don't, um, maybe check your spam mail folder. But at least I came clean and let you fuckers know whatever it was that I let you know, because i'm that awesome! Also to note, sorry in advance, but OpenOffice currently isn't spell-checking (maybe I just have to turn it on(well, more-so spell-correcting(auto-correcting?(whatever)))) so, all of these mistakes you see, I didn't do them, my document creator/editor didn't undo them. Hence, not my fault, technology's... :p (yes, I just threw an “emoticon” into a “blog” entry...(blog...(haha(idk y that word is funny, but it is.(ok?(Shit!)))))) So anyway, a quick recap of what i've been up to since we've last spoken. Well, since you've last “listened” (with your eyes, maybe) to what i've rambled about (non-sense and bull-shit). I wonder when my last post even was, time for me to go check. I'll brb. (hope this isn't a horror movie, bc I may die for saying that... Good thing I'm a virgin tho, so that evens it out right? I mean honestly, who would want to have sex with me?! A three-week-old embryo has a more developed brain than I do for fuck's sake(for the sake of fuck(fitting that “saying(?)” should go there...))) Anyway, insert elevator music.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. So, I didn't actually leave yet, forgot I had to actually go and check when the last post I put up was, so re-insert (lol) elevator music now~! Sorry that took so long, I saw something shiny and got distracted. Also, something awesome happened. I just forget what it was. Maybe i'll remember (make something up) later. Alright so, holy shit, it has been way too long since i've written a post! Why have none of you yelled at me to get back on my grind!?!? Do I mean that little to you?! Meh, I mean that little to me too, it's all good. Still friends? Sweet :) Anyway, so June 23, 2010 was my last post. Wow. I don't even remember that far ago, seriously. Not a fucking clue when that even was. No, you douche, I understand what a date means, I was saying that I don't remember when-abouts in my life happenings that was. Let My People Go!!!!! Everybody go to amazon.com and download Pharoah Monch – Let My People Go. It's free, and a negro spiritual, and did I mention that it doesn't cost anything? Just checkin, calm the EFF down mang! Speaking of songs, I don't remember when, exactly, but I hear this one song not too long ago, and for the life of me cannot figure out what the fuck it is!!! You would think it would be mad easy (,yo ;]) to find the name of a song with the recent invention of the OH MY GOD THESE GLADE GARBAGE BAGS SMELL AMAZING Internetz that stuff like this would be easy to do, but nope! Fucking gay-holes. Kinda like an a-hole, but with AIDS, because if the 80s taught us anything, it's that only gay people get AIDS. Too soon? Or was that the 70s? Maybe even the 60s...? Wish there were some way to check on this, because I am oh-so-worried about being PuC. No, dumbass, not personal computer, although that would be sweet if I were a computer, politically un-correct. Yes, that is(n't) the actual term, I checked on such amazingly truthful sites as Wikipedia and Urban Dictionary. (I really didn't, but if you want, I will go and add them to both so my previous story holds water, was just hoping nobody would go checking my sources...(lazy, this guy)) but seriously, so I recorded it onto my phone, which sounds GOD-AWFUL (ps) and uploaded it to my dropbox for you to DL and find for me. In return, I will repay you with seven Internetz! Seriously, I know you don't actually care, and it's not really the coolest song ever, i'll be the third person to admit it, but c'mon! I mean, seriously, honestly sounds like CeeLo in the “hook” or “chorus” or whatever black people be callin it dese days, yo, word, homie. Also to note, Guinness is delicious. But seriously, its in 3GPP format, whatever that means, and only seems to wanna work in QuickTime, so if you don't have that, don't make an excuse, I told you how to listen to it, so DL it and find it, and get back to me! And tell me if you think the next song was Men In Black, because I totes think it was. Lulz, for real tho, 100.
DL LINK
So, where was I? Right, June 2010. Wait, that isn't a location, that's a date, so... Wrong! Where was I in June 2010? Damnit, Guinness + fridge = so far away... ugh. Wow, holy sheeple, Batman, where the fuck has the past year (yea, I know, almost year, I got it...) gone?! And I'm almost certain when I say that I have not accomplished a one single thing in the past ~10 months. How truly depressing, really. I need to do something, anything, open to suggestions! Hmmm... Let's see. I beat Assassin's Creed II (at 89% done, not gonna finish looking for all the little BS, such as finding 55 more feathers throughout 8 million miles of old Italy, along with treasure boxes and the likes), I got a Netflix account (not really an accomplishment, but that's how deep I have to dig...) Which, by the way, is awesome! All of the god-awful, how-were-they-ever-made movies that are just so bad that you have to like them... Horrible movies are by far the best movies ever! Latest, greatest movie ever being: Someone's Knocking at the Door.
Please watch the trailer and tell me you don't want to watch it... I'll wait...
Fucking brilliant, awesome, amazing, all that is good, etc ad infinitum. Please go out and watch it, tell all your friends, because I need whoever wrote that to make about 1 million more movies to make my life complete! Please, seriously, watch this movie! And any other awesome(ly terrible) movie suggestions, please send them my way. I plowed a lot over the winter, pops Dled a virus onto his computer and I had to re-enter a whole years worth of data for both of his businesses which took probably 20 something hours, not fun at all, speaking of which, I should prob get on the continuing of the doing of that... and other than the random assortment of live professional sporting events, OH MY GOD! SPEAKING OF WHICH, OSAMA BIN LADEN!!!! No, that's not actually a sport, don't know how it would be, but, well, also, I don't want to get into this whole “WOO HE'S DEAD!” stuff. Yea, I guess, he got what he deserved, and that's cool and all, but, I don't think that it is something to get excited about, and it's horrible, meh. Something about wishing/praising someone's death and “Karma.” But my writings ain't about none a that there pussy intergalactic space travel, interdimensionary intertwinement of all spirits as one, and it definitely isn't no ding-dang-dong political mumbo-jumbo so that will be the end of that garbage. But, yea, no, so Osamabama, sports eventing, hmmmm... Oh right! May 1st, whence we all found out about dude dying, and if you were watching the Mets Phillies game, you would have heard the USA chant... Franco Unamerican (aka Francis Hadley, my bros friend, even tho he was in my grade... yea, answer me that one... lol) started that m'f chant, in the asshole section, 302. And yes, i'm proud of that fact. Haha. Awesome. I'm tired, and I feel like I should leave you with something to do/read, so i'll leave this here, hopefully I find some inspiration and can write about something and make it better soon. Peace outs.
So, it has been quite some time since I've sat down at my computer (no it hasn't, actually, I'm pretty much on it every day(wait, thinking about it, how does one “sit down” “at” anything?(am I just silly for thinking that?(I think I am(well, anyway, fuck you(you know what I meant, whether or not I know what I meant...))))))) (Also, once again, don't actually care to count how many parenthesis (parentesi?(does that word work like dice?)) are needed there, so, you can count and get back to me and I won't do shit about it :] ) and written anything for my “blog,” if it could even be called that. More like, uh, I swear I had something for that... (Archer anyone?) But in all honesty, I didn't have shit for it, because, if you couldn't tell from my lack of writing, that I'm just not that damn creative! And to steal something from Archer, to cover up the fact that I didn't have shit to say? Well, I think you get the picture, and if you don't, um, maybe check your spam mail folder. But at least I came clean and let you fuckers know whatever it was that I let you know, because i'm that awesome! Also to note, sorry in advance, but OpenOffice currently isn't spell-checking (maybe I just have to turn it on(well, more-so spell-correcting(auto-correcting?(whatever)))) so, all of these mistakes you see, I didn't do them, my document creator/editor didn't undo them.

But seriously, its in 3GPP format, whatever that means, and only seems to wanna work in QuickTime, so if you don't have that, don't make an excuse, I told you how to listen to it, so DL it and find it, and get back to me! And tell me if you think the next song was Men In Black, because I totes think it was. Lulz, for real tho, 100.

So, where was I? Right, June 2010. Wait, that isn't a location, that's a date, so... Wrong! Where was I in June 2010? Damnit, Guinness + fridge = so far away... ugh. Wow, holy sheeple, Batman, where the fuck has the past year (yea, I know, almost year, I got it...) gone?! And I'm almost certain when I say that I have not accomplished a one single thing in the past ~10 months. How truly depressing, really. I need to do something, anything, open to suggestions! Hmmm... Let's see. I beat Assassin's Creed II (at 89% done, not gonna finish looking for all the little BS, such as finding 55 more feathers throughout 8 million miles of old Italy, along with treasure boxes and the likes), I got a Netflix account (not really an accomplishment, but that's how deep I have to dig...) Which, by the way, is awesome! All of the god-awful, how-were-they-ever-made movies that are just so bad that you have to like them... Horrible movies are by far the best movies ever! Latest, greatest movie ever being: Someone's Knocking at the Door.
Please watch the trailer and tell me you don't want to watch it... I'll wait...
Fucking brilliant, awesome, amazing, all that is good, etc ad infinitum. Please go out and watch it, tell all your friends, because I need whoever wrote that to make about 1 million more movies to make my life complete! Please, seriously, watch this movie! And any other awesome(ly terrible) movie suggestions, please send them my way. I plowed a lot over the winter, pops Dled a virus onto his computer and I had to re-enter a whole years worth of data for both of his businesses which took probably 20 something hours, not fun at all, speaking of which, I should prob get on the continuing of the doing of that... and other than the random assortment of live professional sporting events, OH MY GOD! SPEAKING OF WHICH, OSAMA BIN LADEN!!!! No, that's not actually a sport, don't know how it would be, but, well, also, I don't want to get into this whole “WOO HE'S DEAD!” stuff. Yea, I guess, he got what he deserved, and that's cool and all, but, I don't think that it is something to get excited about, and it's horrible, meh. Something about wishing/praising someone's death and “Karma.” But my writings ain't about none a that there pussy intergalactic space travel, interdimensionary intertwinement of all spirits as one, and it definitely isn't no ding-dang-dong political mumbo-jumbo so that will be the end of that garbage. But, yea, no, so Osamabama, sports eventing, hmmmm... Oh right! May 1st, whence we all found out about dude dying, and if you were watching the Mets Phillies game, you would have heard the USA chant... Franco Unamerican (aka Francis Hadley, my bros friend, even tho he was in my grade... yea, answer me that one... lol) started that m'f chant, in the asshole section, 302. And yes, i'm proud of that fact. Haha. Awesome. I'm tired, and I feel like I should leave you with something to do/read, so i'll leave this here, hopefully I find some inspiration and can write about something and make it better soon. Peace outs.
