Are you a MAC or PC?

"You're not supposed to ask about religion or politics. Now you're also not supposed to talk about Mac or PC." Gregory Lee, a nobody to everyone, but his mother. 


I can still remember the first time I ever touched a mac computer. It was the early 90s, I was in the 3rd grade and my school was taking a tour of one of the local magnet programs. In an attempt to entertain us for a few moments, the school allowed us to sit at the computers and play a common game for the PC called math busters. This and Carmen San Diego were my favorites. At the time I was young though and it didn't seem like a big deal. At the age of 10, no one really cares what type of computer they have or the fact that they are sent home with a bag of apple product stickers. 


The next time I touched a Mac was in 2004, when I was getting ready for a deployment to Iraq. One of the Officers needed me to complete a project for him, so I sat down at the Mac laptop and completed something that I don't quite remember. This is what I do remember...being absolutely hooked. I've always had problems with PC's and this was a complete marvel to me. From that moment I swore I would own a mac and immediately bought one after the deployment. I bought an iMac as soon as we returned and taught myself video editing with it. 

As you can imagine I am absolutely an apple fan. I've owned: iPod, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Powerbook. If it has an i in the front of the name then I've probably owned it. All except for an iRon. I am not even a little ashamed to say I stole that joke. 


This is the thing with the Mac vs. PC debate. NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU PREFER. If you are a mac snob fine. I definitely am. I'm a whore for Apple and that won't change soon. If you are a PC fan, fine, good for you. I don't even care that you say you can do more things with it and get it for much cheaper. It's all a trade of depending on what you prefer. No on is wrong until they throw their condescending attitudes around and starts pissing people off. Once again, NOBODY REALLY CARES. 


Next topic will possibly make people less angry since I am considering politics, religion or perhaps both.


I leave you know with a picture of the truth.

Facebook is a waste land of broken dreams. (Facebook Depression)

How many times have you gone on to Facebook in order to "check up" on people only to find they've been trotting the world, landing amazing jobs or have just left you in the dust to the amazingness of their existence? It makes me wonder what is their damn secret? Why are they so happy? Why the hell haven't I managed to grow up yet? Kids that I used to babysit in high school are married and/or with children. I am with neither. This is by choice, but it does still tend to sting a little bit. Then there is the ever present pictures of people traveling the globe and seeing places that I haven't managed to see yet. Yes, I have been all over the world but while I am reading the Facebook page in my boring office that doesn't matter. It's like those things never happened or like they just weren't good enough in comparison.  What we don't see is the reality behind the pictures that make everything seem so amazing. For instance, all you might see in o...

I'm not a lesbian, but my girlfriend is...

I'm not sure that I've been a cynic on love my entire life, but I have written confirmation that I definitely was at 17 years old and still a senior in high school. This comes in the form of a scrap book that we were supposed to complete about our lives. I loved this assignment, I loved what I did with it and I love that the teacher I had admired so much had liked it as well. I still have the scrapbook and so occasionally I look through it and at what my life had been for the first 17-18 years of my life when it was competed. There was one prompt that she gave us, "It's Love This Time". I changed it to, "It's Not Love This Time" and posted a bunch of pictures of cute celebrity boys because I had no first loves. Well, at this time in my life, I don't think I had ever been on a date before. I went on one date my senior year of high school and that was a set up through one of my friends. Let's just say we aren't married. He ended up ...
