Droid- The Next Frontier

So I just got a Droid 2 Global (don't worry about the global).

I know I know it is already an old smartphone. But it is still a smartphone! There is a possibility that I will "root" it (wipe the phone to be able to write code for it) but that will void the 1 year warranty on it. I do not know how to write code in Linux but there are some helpful guides online that I could take advantage of.

Whenever I get a new piece of technology it reminds me of how outdated my stuff is (always) and how most of us, myself included, don't use the tech that we have to its fullest. Really, most of us don't use anything around us to its fullest (goes to turn on the heater... its cold in Dixon!).

I have never really gotten around to learning how to keep my computers at maximum efficiency through maintenance and correct usage. My room is almost always a little dirty and there's always excess food for me to eat.

I love the droid but I got to get more assertive in my life! I am running out of my youth and I need to get things done. I have so many goals and dreams that my head is in the clouds too often and not doing what needs to be done.

Speaking of dreams, if you have ever been a Disney fan, go watch Tangled. It is a good movie all around and I think its foolish to call anything that reminds us of happy endings and following hopes and dreams girly is stupid. Sports are basically dramatic competitions about happy endings. Randy Pausch, the speaker at the last lecture is not "girly" for loving imagination and Disney.

P.S. I dont like how gyms are so busy now that people are getting in shape for summer, blah!
