blackberries

yep... if you would have asked me last week, i would have said nope i don't have a blackberry and i have no intention of getting one. i was pretty happy with the bare bones cell phone. i don't need much just a little food and a warm place to lie my head at night, but that all changed on tuesday of this week. my boss said that he and his wife needed a new phones. next thing i knew i was at the kiosk at the mall and getting a blackberry.

things i like about being tied to the internet 24/7:

• being tied to the internet
• espn.com
• free unlimited text messaging
• music player on the phone

things i don't like about being tied to the internet 24/7:

• being tied to the internet
• realizing that i get a lot of junk email
• getting work email after hours and then worrying about something that i can't do anything about because i am not in the office or in front of a real computer
• the thought that i will get brain cancer at some future time
  

is it worth it? not sure yet. it's fun for now, but i think that the novelty will wear off soon. i just hope that it doesn't become a need for me. 'cause that would stink.

the ultimate driving machine

yeah, i have always wanted to drive a bmw (2002tii), after all BMW's are supposed to be the ultimate driving machine. only i like the white 4-door, better than this one, although this one is pretty nice.

sleep deprivation

i knew that sleep was over-rated...

alternative enegry

let me first say that i am not much of a travolta fan and as long as we understand this i may proceed...

so, i saw the movie phenomenon years ago and it started me thinking about solar energy and getting off of the grid (among other things such as why can't my brain get smarter with a strike of lightning?). anyway, the talk has been out there for a long time, but never has there been this much enthusiasm for conserving energy (at least in my lifetime). i think that it is about time that americans started thinking about kicking the oil habit. i mean after all most of it comes from overseas.

so, what about a natural gas civic.

and if you are worried about finding a natural gas station here is a gov't website that can help you plan the next road trip:
