You know I haven’t been to an actual fair since I was seven.

I remember the childlike excitement that I felt ridign on all the rides (especially the really fast ones). But strangely, I never rode the ferris wheel.  At the time I was of course, terrified of teh possibility of actually riding it.  I’m sure I would have puked if I had gotten at the top. Instead, I just looked at it.  Watched it turn around and around….

But now that I think back to that time, I wish I rode that ferris wheel.   If I rode it, then I could have easily gotten off of it and that would have been that.

It’s funny how life is like a ferris wheel. It goes around and around….stopping ever so often to let people off and to let new people on.  But it doesn’t shut down when the carnival closes. It just keeps going around and aroung….some people are scared of taking that ride, while others enjoy the rush.  Getting at the top is the exilirating rush…the ultimate thrill. And either you can just puke or feel adreline rush through your veins.

No matter what complexities in life people are faced with, they ultimately have to ride the ferris wheel–literally and figuratively.

I’m already the ferris wheel of life…and I can’t get off and on and my pace. I don’t know when I’m gonna reach the peak, but when I do, I hope it’s worth it

I googled Pearl Jam today.

No particular reason, except for the fact that I was listening to an old Pearl Jam song called ‘Alive’ and I was wondering if they still were making music. I was surprised to find out that they still do, you know, since I never actually heard anything late breaking from them.

Isn’t google like one of the best search engines in the world? It’s amazing how you can just type in anything in that little google box, and presto–instant results.  Yay for search engines! You can google yourself if you want to. You can even google your name (can’t really say you’ll get successful results if you share a name with a car–like me). 

 

(I’m not 100% sure if you will go blind though). haha.

Another cool feature of googling is that you can see what other people are googling.  Or how many results are available on the web. Say if you are looking up how to cook a russian pierogi (don’t ask me what it is), you’ll see that there are 58,700 results.

Ding.

On another note. I looked up (via google) what are the best gadgets of 2008.  I wasn’t surpised to find that Apple iPod Touch made the list at number one followed immediately by the Wii Fit, Nikon D90 SLR camera, Apple MacBook, GPS, and Canon PowerShot. But what I was puzzeled about was   some phone call teh Pantech Duo.

Umm….wouldn’t you think that the Applie iPhone should make the list? Or how about the BlackBerry series? I don’t know about you, but I have never heard of this Pantech Duo.  It’s not even up to date as the iPhone or BlackBerry storm.

Oh, well, who am I to talk? I have a simple razor phone that is less advanced as the Pantech Duov(I’m not complaining though–the phone was free).

 

So now that the year is almost out (4 more days), what would you say is the best gadget of 2008?

Shame, shame, shame on me. I havent’ wrote a blog since [checks the date]—April 24th! And it’s already December 27. My, how the time does fly by.

I know its a little bit early for a New Year’s resolution, but this year I vow to write in my blog at least once a week (hehe)

Anyway, my dear general public.  How was your Christmas? Amidst family drama rama (what family doesn’t have drama I guess is the correct statement), I wasn’t as fortunate as to recieve a vast amount of gifts as I did last year (a glass elephant, shower gels, muffins, some cash, and some clothes contitutes my christmas gifts). But hey, I’ll take what I can get, right?

My wish list for the unforseen future is to get an iPod touch 32 GB (nothing less, as my music catalog will not yeild such space)

 I also want  the awsome MacBook that I can grow into (hey, if I’m going into Computer Science/Web Designing for my major, I can only tolerate the best, right?). I’ve experimented on a mac and I have to say that I only have good things to rave about it.

(Looks cool, doesn’t it)

Oh, and I want a car too. Don’t care what kind.  As long as it has four wheels and a steering wheel (oh, and a/c is a must, which i have definitely learned the hard way.

So on a global note, I was in the process of checking my email when a link discussing the best and worst states to live in caught my eye [http://www.walletpop.com/specials/best-of-the-best]  I clicked on it, expecting the worst to be New York City (no offense against you New Yorkers!) and the Best to be Montana or Alaska.  But I was definitely thrown through a loop! Nevada was categorized as the number one worst state (which I can kind of understand. But Lousiana (my home state) was categorized as the second worst state. And Alaska was number 8 (which kinda makes since. Alcohol abuse rate is high in that state according to the article, and I’d drink too if I lived in 6 months of night)—no offense to you Alaskans!

———————————————————————-I’m confused now.

New York didn’t even make the list. But yet, people always warn others against moving to New York. 

Right.

So now, if you want to know where the best place to live, according to the article,  move to Minnesota.

Well, that’s enough from me today. I’m going to go play around with my friends iPhone apps (they are so flipping cool, that I’m jealous now)

Until next time peeps!
