I heart Apple.

So today my brother broke his laptop (yea.. smart huh?). He wants me to sell him my beautiful, amazing, fabulous, shiny, loveable, yummy, spectacular, white iBook G4... for a measley $600. SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS?!?!?! Are you crazy?

Actually... yes.. maybe a little. I want a NEW beautiful, amazing, fabulous, shiny, loveable, yummy, spectacular, BLACK MacBook.




This clever little baby (plus a free iPod Nano) starts at $1,499. But, of course, I'm no plane jane. I need the extra 512 MB of RAM for $100.

So: 1499 + 100 = 1599 - 600 (from my bro) = 999 - 150 (give or take if i sell the ipod) = 849 - anything I get for a student discount + tax.

So thats like 900 bucks or something (??). For a beautiful, amazing, fab- (okay i'll spare you) Black MacBook... okay sure.

However! I'm a poor struggling college student with barely enough money to buy drinks pay for a cab so people can buy me drinks on 6th. I COULD get a cheaper.. WHITE MacBook.. with 1 GB RAM and an 80 for $1,449 - 600 - 150 = 699 - discount = tax.

So thats like $800 or something?

Oi. I have no idea. I could downsize the hard drive and the RAM i guess... BUT I WANT IT! :(

::sighs:: yea i know. I should go cheap huh? Help Me!

Absolutley American

(Occasionally I will post book reviews. I read. I love it. Now you’ll read, because you love my reviews.)

Kay- so I just finished a book called Absolutely American- Four Years at West Point by David Lipsky. Pretty Cool. Reporter decides hes gonna do a story on West Point, instead he ends up following a class for four years and writing a freakin' book. Cool.

The story’s great. I always like books that give you an insight into a world you probably won’t ever enter (extreme huah). This book shows you the ins and outs of West Point. It tells you everything these kids are going through, the thoughts they think, how they push past adversity, how they fail, how they overcome, how they transform into crazy military machines, and how they make it through 4 years of college without being able to occupy the same piece of furniture with someone of the opposite sex.

It really made me want to go to West Point (but then I remembered all the dirt and bugs, and how there’d be no metro boys, and that I’d never have time for a family and kids… and how I’d be poor forever… but beyond that….). I’m intrigued by the opportunity to challenge yourself to the extreme; to push past your breaking point and to accomplish something. I enjoy leading, and the idea of being responsible for other people. Yup.. the army’s my kind of stuff.

However, I didn’t feel like the book was well organized. I was confused a little sometimes, and with so many characters names coming in and not of the story for no reason I kept mixing people up (and then having to backtrack and figure out who that guy was that said WP was like anal sex).

Yeah, but I have a friend that just left for West Point (he gave me the book to read.. duh). It was really neat thinking how he’ll be going through all the things I read about, and that he’ll be leading people (well that parts scary… lol) and he’ll get a neat little WP ring. Maybe he’ll let me wear it…. Hrm.

Anyway.. back to the point. In Summary:

Read it:
If you want to see a side of America you don’t really know a lot about
If Army boys turn you on
If you enjoy challenge
To feel patriotic
Before you visit WP
If you know someone who’s going

Don’t Read it:
If you hate the military
If you’re a pacifist
If you a close minded liberal
If you can’t stand unorganized writing

Anywho, in general I give it a- “Recommended”. Cool.
