Droid Eris, Christmas, New York weather, and Job Searching

Lets kick this off with a big thing. My new phone. It's the Droid Eris by HTC, it is a smartphone who's provider is Verizon Wireless. I find the phone to be relatively nice. It has a very clean and 'intellisense' set of home screens [7 to be exact]. The browser is pretty quick on the upload, the phone's calls are decent, considering. The camera is freakin' awesome, a 5.0 megapixel, rocks. The video recording is okay, I guess.

Over all, the biggest cons are this: The sounds are rather soft, unless I get my own sounds the pre-installed ones blow harder than George Bush did Dick Cheney. A few sites I access online tend to cut out, Mibbit.com and Meebo.com, both are online free messenger styled programs. The phone doesn't enjoy them a whole lot. And lastly, the battery. The fucking thing is always in need of a charge. Damn applets, one would think that when a company makes a phone geared towards application use they would give it a fucking battery developed to handle the use of said applications for a long period of time.

Other than that, nice phone. All touch, sides a few buttons. The volume rocker is a little eh, not my favourite thing on the side, drives me bonkers actually.

Christmas was good, got a lotta things, I enjoyed the company of my wife and family the best though.

New York weather sucks. Horridly.

Job searching is meh, slowly going on. Not a lot of places are hiring because of the economy still being low, but I am still looking. Damn Penn Traffic.

Christmas, Being Poor, Corporate CRAP, and Poor Snowplowing MORONS!

Well, yes the worst time of the year has come around... w00T, BUT it's also the best time too... Weird how that happens. I am big on the whole ideals behind Christmas and such, which is cool and all.

What I don't like about it though. How Corporations like to turn something as awesome as just spending time with your family into gift giving that involves spending a shit load of money and the likes. I wish I could kill my brain and upbringing at times when it comes to Christmas because I ALWAYS feel obligated to go and fucking spend money during this time of the year, and currently its harder than hell because:

A) I have two jobs - one of which is dying like a stuck pig that has been bleeding for the last decade, sad eh?
B) Propane bills suck so much old man cock it isn't funny;

and lastly,

C) I hate buying gifts for people, I never know what people fuckin' want.

On top of that, the weather is bloody COLD and SUCKS, i use to love the winter, but when you have little to no hair [this is all on purpose: see Beware of mohawk it SUCKS massively!

But that's all okay. The worst part of the weather is... well, I live about fifteen minutes from work... On a good, sunny day. Winter, nearly a half hour. Fucking snow plows need to learn to PLOW the roads, not just throw shitty fucking rock salt on the roads and call 'em good. Assholes.


BUT beyond all of that, currently have gotten sucked into the newest of my roleplaying addiction, VISIONARY TALES, see link above for the shameless plug.
Well, I think I am done ranting and raving...
