iPhone

I want an iPhone… Who doesn’t?

Why do I want one? Well… it’d be cool to have my email a bit more accessible. Visual voicemail would be great. Surfing websites would be a million times more accessible than on my current Treo. And it’s cool. Very cool.

It’s not that I just want to fit in with everyone… I just want to be up to date and I want to have the benefits that others have. The problem is, it doesn’t make sense at all to get an iPhone. Financially it would be a bad move. The cell phone plan that I have is virtually unlimited everything and the couple hundred bucks it’d cost to get an iPhone would be a bummer.

Truth is, I don’t NEED an iPhone, so I’m not going to get one right now. I’m trying to live for the things that are really important in life, and I don’t think that I can totally justify an iPhone right now.

Maybe someday.

Economy

Here’s the thing about the economy… It affects everyone. Everyone is trying to see how it is going to affect the country as a whole but I think it is so easy to lose focus on WHO that country is. It’s me. You. My parents. Your cousin… it’s all of us. We are the ones who have been and will be affected and this is what it means for the economy to affect the United States.

I just figured out a couple days ago how the failing of the US economy is affecting/will affect me: I most likely won’t be moving to Africa any time soon. It’s so strange to think that Cause Investments’ whole organizational model was based upon stock market performance and that the unstable market is literally ruining what was the beginning of an amazing company.

So, for now I’m playing music for some amazing artists and bands: Lovelite, Greg Laswell, and Ryan Calhoun, among others.

We shall see how long it all lasts until the next big adventure.
