I hate cell phones

I do hate cell phones, but specifically I hate cingular wireless. Not only have I had to deal w/ bad coverage, poor customer service and a crappy phone for the last 2 years, but now that I stuck it out through the contract, I find there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, only a lump of poo. I tried to upgrade my P.O.S phone today, first I dealt w/ dumb and dumber at the worst phone store ever, then went online and found that you can't just be rewarded w/ a new phone, oh no. They want the rights to suck away another 2 years of your life to their evil ways. I have had it. I threw my old phone off the bridge into the putrid Ohio River and I am now cell phone free. So it might be really, really hard to get ahold of me for a while, but have no fear, I will press on and continue to fight against all that is wrong and cellular.

Amazing

This is, in fact, John Diehl writing from the world famous childrens hospital of cincinnati for this weeks update. First off, congrads to the Pitsburg Steelers and Seattle Seahawks on making it to Superbowl extra-large, unfortunately no one cares. To quote david letterman, after Kobe Bryant scored 81 points 2 nights ago, second most ever, he then went out an bought his wife a huge ring, I guess out of habit. And Alexander Ovechkin, hockey player for the washington capitals, last week scored one of the most amazing goals ever, while on his back, sliding away from the goal, one handed using the very tip of his stick, you'd have to see it to believe it. No crazy stuff at work yet today but I'm sure something spine tingling will happen sooner or later.

Nano-riffic

So, on the advice of someone in the know, I went out and got the agent 18 protective cover for my new ipod nano. this is a fantastic product. Not only is it sharp in appearance and effective in protection, but it also came w/ a cling to add protection to the screen and an adaptor so that you can dock the ipod without removing the cover. Now all I need is a way to keep the cover on when I workout because my current set up requires removal of the case. But otherwise, great product.

Welcome 2006

Hello and happy holiday's everyone. What an exciting couple of weeks it has been. First what is better than christmas with Grandma and her delicious mashed potatos. My brother, always the gentleman, got me a brand new iPod Nano. It is impossibly small and a lot of fun. Then Paul, of dport7 fame, came down to the Cinci area and we hit the town like gangbusters. Then we had to say goodby to '05, and welcome to '06. Rachel and I got to do this down at the wonderful Jillian's establishment. Sword swallowers, fire eaters, tons of food, air hockey, bowling and champagne. What a great way to ring in the new year. Happy 06 everyone
