A New Addition to the Fam!

I have been replenished. I emailed Darko, because we share interests, about my quarterly purchase. Now you know that I have a love obsession with my gadgets, and every once in a while I figure that I work hard enough to purchase a little something for myself. All of my money that I make basically goes to the bank and back out for bills, so I don’t feel guilty for buying something for myself. After my first paycheck at the new job, I banked it all, bought Kell something and went out to a nice dinner. Because of the fact that I only get paid once a month, which blows by the way, these will be the routine. Check, bank, bills.
So enough beating around the bush, you’re probably wondering what I bought this time huh? Well I’ll tell you. This time it was the Motorola Q.
What was wrong with my old phone that was mearly 7 months old you ask? Well, nothing. Nothing at all, however, I wanted an upgrade in the types of services that my phone provides for me. Basically I feel like clam-shell (flip) phones are a little too limited in what they can do. The internet services always suck on them, and the applications aren’t that great.
Now I’m usually not a fan of big phones, but this one is different. For one, it’s thin as hell, as you see in the picture. Although it’s a little wider than I thought it was going to be, it weighs about the same as my previous phone. So you barely feel it sitting in your pocket, and doesn’t feel like a brick. So that is a huge plus. The internet browser on it is sick, and unlimited internet access is very nice. There’s a bunch of other stuff that it does, but I won’t bore you with all of that, but I’ll just say that the phone is tight as hell, and I like it alot. So as I’ve said with others, welcome to the fam Mr. Q!
Both Paulie and Batio asked for my old phone, but Kell had already called dibs on it the minute I told her I was thinking about getting one. It’s still in really good shape, and I dropped it probably under 10 times so that’s always good. I was just going to wait for Colleen to ask for it since she seems to drink every night and break a phone about once every two weeks.
In other news, it’s going to be a long next week. I have this side work to do, and although there isn’t a deadline, I want to get it done because I have no reason not to. So I will be putting in some long hours in the home office over the next week or so, on top of the 8 hours I work downtown. She signed off on my rates too ($45/hour) so that’s a very good feeling. I mentioned that I’ve worked with this lady before, and she’s a really good client. Communication is always good, and she gets me stuff when needed, those are the best ones.
So that’s what the deal is for now, life is still good.
peace

[...] This year has been very good for me on the gadget end. I’ve been able to upgrade my living room sound system, phone, gaming, and just recently my computer, which I will get to in a minute. But I consider myself very fortunate for being able to buy some of these toys that come out, but I must say, it is time for a break. [...]
