Ipad 3

Working in Electronics I get a lot of questions about the IPad 3. Everyone wants to know if they should buy the IPad 2, or wait for the new one and when we are getting it in stock. I had not heard anything about it at all so I did some research. Nowhere does Apple actually say that they are going to release an IPad 3, it is all just rumors. It is rumored to release in March next year because that's around the time when the last two were released. It's also rumored to have a faster processor, also because the second IPad was faster than the first. That just makes sense. They wouldn't release a new product if it was the same as before, right? Other things like having more colors than black and white for the frame, taking out the wall between the AT&T and Verizon 3G networks, and have a retina display (which I still haven't fully figured out but it seems like its supposed to make the display look more real? I think) All of this stuff seems awesome but a lot of it just seems like dreams and assumptions from consumers. And even if there were what Apple was saying it was doing right now I still wouldn't want to get my hopes up with how much they promised with the IPhone 5 that was supposed to release this fall, but all of a sudden Apple just released a dumbed down version of it and called it the IPhone 4s. What says they aren't going to do that with the IPad too. I'm just saying I'm not looking forward to the IPad 3 until I actually see some real evidence that it exists.

UFTs

"I embrace the abnormal and create a normality around it, thus syndicating the illusion of an intricately delicate truth."

This quote may initially sound completely confusing and crazy, but once you think about it a little bit it will give you a sense of how my brain works. Which makes even more sense because I made the quote up. I have no idea where it came from because I rarely use that many big words in a full day, but I was tired one night and that just popped into my head. This quote also explains the basis of the title of this post; UFT's. Anyone that knows me knows that I like to make up random stuff on the spot, and in most cases I am really good at it. But I never had a name for my random "rants". Well one day I was watching an episode of Psych (awesome show) and Shawn and Gus were talking and they said this.

Shawn - *random thing* (sorry I don't actually remember what Shawn said, It was something about Alfred Hitchcock)
Gus - "That's not true!"
Shawn - "Not it's not. Part of a new bit I'm working on called completely random untrue trivia."

Right after I heard that line I knew I needed to name my "completely random untrue trivia." And just like the quote I made up, I have no idea how I came up with the name UFTs; which stands for Unequivocally Fabricated Truths. I had to look up what "unequivocally" meant right after I thought of it, but basically the whole thing translates to "one of a kind made up facts." So if I ever mention one of my UFT's in a post, now you know what I am talking about, and where it came from.

I'm back!!

I highly doubt anyone is going to actually see this because I quit writing on here about a year and a half ago, but I kinda wanted to try keeping a blog again and I really like the name of this one, so . . . what the heck. Here I am. :P I would say not a lot has changed since last time I was on here, but that wouldn't be true. First off I got a new job right after I started posting. I work in the Electronics department of the local retail store (still haven't decided how much of my true identity I want to reveal, makes me feel more like a super hero :D ) So far I'm loving the job, obviously since I'm still there. Minus the random stuff that I don't like; keeping the store looking clean, being bored out of my mind on slow days, and some of my bosses, I love being there to help people figure out what they want to buy, or even with just questions on things they already have. Its a perfect mix of my love for helping people and my love of electronics. On the other side of new news, I have a girlfriend! :D She's awesome, pretty, smart, amazing, and did I mention awesome? We've been dating for 9 and a half months now. Probably the happiest time of my life. So ... work, girlfriend, that pretty much covers the whole year (not going to talk about school cause I'm kinda at the crossroads of trying to figure stuff out again). So that's about it for this post, fingers crossed that I won't fail miserably at this like last time.
