It's been a while since I last posted, but things have been incredibly busy lately (involving school work, work, and learning new songs--Yes, I know the last one is not a legitimate excuse, but, hey, it works for me). But, I'm here with a new post, and I'm back with a vengence--sort of.
Anyone have an iPhone (a 3GS to be more precise)? Ever crack the glass screen? Did you know that to repair it, it is $199? Sure enough, this is the predicament I am currently in with my iPhone. According to Apple iPhone limited 1 year Warranty it does not cover "accident damage", which is the category I fall under unfortanutely due to Kansas City's surge of extremely cold weather lately. The damage occurred from coming from a well-heated SUV to walking in the 10 degree weather towards work. In between, I decided to check a message on my iPhone and ,thus, read my message while witnessing a crack from suddenly appear (see image below). My story was so compelling that even the phone tech from 1-800-MYAPPLE was sympathetic and told me he was sorry numerous of times; however, not compelling enough to get a free replacement--I suppose I should be in raging tears next time--but he did tell me other "cheaper"' options to resolve my problem (like looking up Craig's List); however, if I did so, it would void the warranty. It's a tempting offer, but I think, for now, I'll just stick with my expensive-cracked-screen phone that has a really lame and questionable warranty, but it is still in effect! By the way, the option of buying a new one has come up, but that, my friends, would put me further in the hole as a new one cost $300. Go Technology!
On a better side note, things have been going extremely well with the band (as far as practicing and writing goes). I never thought we sound as good as we do, nor did I intend for us to go as far as we are or planning as much as we are. I thought we only be a simple jam band, nothing more. However, we are learning new songs, and writing some as well, and getting better everyday, and we are anxious to show to show everyone how much we have developed lately in our first show that will be in the spring. Yes! We will be performing live for the first time soon for everyone! Details will come ever soon, so start looking out for them!
To end this post, I want to talk about one last thing. I watched "Julie & Julia" last night, and loved it! Not only did it make me extremely hungry and want to go out and buy one of Julia Child's Cookbook (which I'm still considering to do), I found it be very inspirational in so many ways. No matter how many setbacks you may encounter along the way or when you feel at a point that you just can't do anymore, there is no better way to over come it then never quitting, move forward and keep trying! This is probably why I've posted today and have the need to keep writing and submitting my short stories. I shouldn't quit nor should I think negative, no matter the circumstances. Thanks, Julie Powell, you've helped me realize that.
