Hamptons?
No, I'm not in the Hamptons, but I am near it. I'm in a town near Freeport. It's a quiet town that reminds me of where I'm from. I've heard doors close, but that's about it. It's like a mini vacation coming out here. Some of the homes have waterways and boats that they take into the bay. It's really great to hop in one and go to Fire Island.
Independence Day should be self explanatory and inspiring. It should be a day when Americans celebrate the contributions of Americas toward our "freedom". For me today is another day off. When July 4, 1776 happened, my ancestors were owned? That fact doesn't consume me, but it's a thought I have when we remember the history of our country. It's not all red, white and blue.
I love this country. There are plenty of opportunities to make a lot of money if you want that. I probably couldn't have this blog in other countries so I'm grateful, but just like Independence Day we shouldn't forget the entire history of this country.

iPhone Haze
First I'd like to say I played with the iPhone and I L.O.V.E. it.
Also, I don't mind the coverage that is everywhere right now. I say keep it coming. It keeps Apple in the news and the public informed about the best mobile phone ever.
For those of you that don't know I've had a love hate relationship with the iPhone. I've heard bad things about at & t service in the past, but people are now saying that isn't true, that's it's great...what gives?? I need someone to give me a straight answer.
Secondly, I didn't want to leave my present carrier Sprint, but why not leave? I don't call my friends who have Sprint during the day anyway. Plus, I can call them from work for free.
Thirdly, I got a macbook in January. Do I really need another mobile computer? No. What I need is a PDA like device that can hold my contacts, appointments, to do lists, games and music. I'm in NYC and we're a subway/walking town. I don't want to take a bag when I'm going out. Who wants to have your iPod in one pocket and your mobile phone in the other. It's so redundant and bulky. Lastly, does Apple need anymore of my money??? No!
After thinking about all of this I decided that I was going to stay with Sprint, save money and find a free phone I could live with for another two years. I took a good look at the phones there and saw nothing that appealed to me. So, then I'm like why do I want a phone that I'm not excited about. I think I deserve to have a phone that syncs to my macbook w/o having to buy additional software. With the iPhone's features, I could get rid of my Sony Clie, my phone and iPod. I'd have one device. My mom says I would cry if i lost it or got robbed, but I've never lost my iPod or phone. (knock on circuitry)
I told you last weekend that I wasn't going to an Apple or at & t store to see the iPhone. I didn't have to. A coworker of mine got one and I was in heaven. It really works well. Today he admitted that it's really just the IT device of the year. No one really needs one, but it's nice to have one.
At least the stores are selling out now. I almost went and got one about thirty minutes ago.
I will say this. The carrier issue is a non issue now. Who cares about Sprint??? lol
So, I'm not sure what I'm going to do at this point, but the decision is...free phone or $650.00 for an Iphone. I think you know where I'm leaning.

See Sicko
I left Sicko alarmed and unsettled. What is wrong with this country? Is it possible that you could have insurance and be denied coverage so that a company can make money? No, that's not possible is it?
Of course it is? This is America, the country for the people with iPhones and the ones without. :-)
All kidding aside, check your insurance policies and tell your Senators and Congressmen that you want them to provide Universal Care for United States Citizens. If they can find trillions of dollars to fund a war, they can find the money to heal it's citizens...wait. We're already healing our citizens. Look at Katrina. Yep, hopefully you get the picture.

My Favorite Dance of the Week
There is nothing like African Dance. It's grounded, spiritual and inspiring. Go Tyce Diorio
iPhone Envy
So, I'm looking at the people unboxing their pretty iPhones. Honesty, I feel like I'm missing out of something. Why should I? I have a phone that works just fine, but the iPhone would be extra special. I will not switch carriers so that's that. There is a silver lining in this cloud, Sprint is giving me a great deal on a new phone. Thanks iPhone.
What is that about? "I feel like I'm missing out of something" because I don't have an iPhone. Come on. I just got the one of the best laptops out there according to Cnet.com six months ago. I guess it's the hype machine. It's so strong. I didn't even go to an Apple store this weekend. I'll check out the iPhone in a few weeks. Then maybe my impulse to buy will have subsided.
