遠野くん

Completely made my day when I saw these two ‘musicals’. Has me in the mood for watching some movies now. I wonder what I’ll watch!

Spent 4 hours in line.

Made a few new friends.

Got a nice suntan.

A gay pride parade passed us by —no kidding.

Two hours of listening to rave music from the parade.

A real nice sales assistant from the store made everyone in line’s day better.

Got the new iPhone 4.

My day was great.

One of my greatest loves is my iPhone 3G –named Yui– and I am still surprised that she still works for me even though I abuse her so badly. The screen is screwy, and her back is a mess of scratches but, I love her still.

When iPhone OS 3 came out it was like our relationship was fresh again. All the little problems were gone in the face of how much better you had become and our relationship only deepened. Now two years on from when we had gotten together, we took the next step and upgraded to iOS4. Things went downhill from then.

I knew I had been cheating on her for a bit. The iPad was so much more voluptuous and did things for me that my sweet iPhone would not never consider but, I always came back. The iPad was a sweet fling, but it was not something I would consider always living with. That would always be my iPhone. This wasn’t the problem though.

Ever since iOS4 came into our home, she had turned unresponsive at time. At times she would just give up all together, right in the middle of our sweet time together and I would have to wait out the excruciating time before she would come around. All the good that iOS4 could have brought into our home, were crushed by these new problems.

I saw others, with their 3GS and they just so much better after iOS4. I knew we could have what they had but it only proved to worsen what this had done to us.

And now, I’ve had eyes on the iPhone 4. They look so similar but there is so much of a difference. At the moment, she won’t give me the time of day but I know it is only a matter of time before she becomes mine.

So my time with Yui –sweet loveable iPhone 3G– is fleeting. We know it won’t last but we are willing to ride it out as long as we can. I still love her.

And –quietly and guiltily– to myself I think that even though every thing was going downhill, “Man, her new unified inbox is sexy.”

I’ll milk our remaining time together as much as I can.

<<<—>>>

I have no idea where this came from or why I wrote it like this. Originally this started as just a random musing on even though my 3G suffered performance wise since the iOS4 update, I had to admit that getting that unified inbox and folders was worth the hassle. I had a situation where I got an important and much welcomed e-mail recently to one of my e-mail addressed that I usually would not check so often and thanks to unified inbox, it was so simple to notice it. I love not having to drill down through the different accounts so much.

Our time is over soon. It is only a matter of time before I finally can buy that iPhone 4 (if I could only find a place that still had some in stock early enough) but even with the hassle I have gotten with iOS4, it is far outweighed by the good that it has brought to my iPhone 3G.

Health has been a major concern of mine over the last year. I had jaw surgery earlier this year which had me out for the count for much longer than I would have wanted, and just last month I had a serious accident concerning my bike, a huge hill and the lamp post at the bottom of said hill. The bike came out mostly unscathed, myself however…

So quite recently I have been recovering, and sadly my work has suffered for yet another medical setback on my part. I had such plans for what I should be doing and when I should be doing them, plans which have now gone out the windows or at least have to be rescheduled.

I’ve since a long time not on my bike gone back to it — got back on the saddle as it were. I have found a new appreciation for my bike and riding it, but have also become much more wary of it and the road. I should be doing this for all aspects of my life.

I should be getting back into shape, which has greatly deteriorated as of late. I have a Black Belt grading this summer which I should start preparing for now. I should be getting back to work, where I have many personal projects I need finishing — one being this blog’s web design and I should post more often. I should be revising, what with my exams starting in less than two weeks and I need to score well on these considering how badly affected my coursework was recently.

There is so much to do and so much to finish, but I guess the important thing to do is to start. If that means getting back in the saddle, then so be it.
