Moving Sucks (2006 version)

First, before I begin my rant, a big thanks to:
Shari, Janice, Jeremy, Joe, Kim, Ric, Tracy, PK and Cintron!!!!! You guys made it a hell of alot better than last time!
Now for the rant. Whats better than waking up at 6:30am on the day you're moving to a HUGE thunderstorm!!! You have GOT to be kidding me right? Well, I went back to sleep and thankfully the storm was gone and not a problem at all. But it definitely provided me with quite a scare. So I go to pick my truck up at UHaul...and apparently I because some girls' bitch!!! I asked to use a couple of those blankets to protect furniture. She says they're $1 each, but there are "a few" in the truck and she'll let me use them for free if I just fold them before returning the truck. So I think thats the greatest deal ever, us jews like free shit! I leave with the truck. When we're about to start loading it, I see why she offered me this deal. There were about 25 damn blankets in there!!!!!!!!!! In the end...I used 1. 1 lousy blanket, I saved $1. At midnight when I was dropping off the truck, I sat in the parking lot folding those damn things. ONE DOLLAR!!!!!!!! What a lazy bitch that chick is!
In the end, the move was not nearly that bad. The only casualty was about 3 broken glasses, which I'm pretty sure were 3 that I've "accidentally" walked out of local bars when they've somehow managed to find their way into my pocket or something. I guess thats Karma.
So, June 30, 2007....who wants to help me move? :)

Time for a New Cell Phone

My phone has slowly but surely been dying for the last month or so. Its a flip phone, and the display on the front officially doesn't work anymore. So for the last few weeks I've been trying to figure out what phone to get. I went into a Cingular store by my new place (don't worry, a blog is forthcoming about how much moving SUCKS!). At this point, I narrowed it down to 3 phones. A Nokia, an LG and a Sony Ericsson phone. In the store they have computers with quazi-internet access. I think you can only go to google.com and cingular.com. Thats it. But that was all I needed! I had a stroke of pure genius. I went to google and typed in the model of each phone along with the word "sucks" and looked at all the responses. It basically directs you to message boards where whiny 14 yr olds probably complain about their little lives (if you're 14 and reading this, no offense!!! but you know I'm right!) For both the Nokia (sorry Divya!) & LG phones there seems to be alot of complaining. But when I get to the Sony Ericsson phone, and here's what I see:

"Anyone who says this phone sucks, Sucks on D!@%. Sorry i love it."

That was all I needed to see. I was sold. Sorta. The price in the store was $39.99...or I could get it online, from the very same company for $19.99 2 days later! Morons!!!! So here I sit, waiting on pins and needles to finally have a new phone again!!!
