Yet Another iPhone For The Picking

So, Apple announced a new iPhone today (shouldn’t we be at 20 by now?), and as usual, there are new features, and it costs a lot of money. I must admit I am a long-time Android user, and we get made fun of for being Android users. So I sit here looking in from the outside.

I find it curious that Apple has to release something new every year. They do make a killing off those phones. For Apple, new phones each year are a business decision they have made with some research, and their customers spend a ton on upgrading. It would be interesting to see the collection of phones some users have gathered over the years.

I can upgrade to a newer phone every two years with my Android. I don’t feel like I am missing out on waiting a while longer. Yes, I know not every iPhone user will upgrade every year. But for those who upgrade, doesn’t the whole thing make upgrading your phone less of a special event?

I can say I am an Android guy living in what seems to be an iPhone world. And I won’t understand, and that is OK. The universe of Android phones does great things, just saying.

Remembering September 11, 2001 – May We Never Forget

This is what the New York Times looked like the day after 9/11. This historic event must never be forgotten. It was one of history’s worst events and one of humanity’s shining moments in how people came together for a time in the aftermath. This event seems so long ago. Always remember this day. It’s important to do so. Let there be peace on Earth.

Saturday Night Cinema – The Hunger Games

A terrific trilogy of survival and corrupt politics. May the odds be ever in your favor. This is what catapulted Jennifer Lawrence to superstardom.

Hold Up, I Am Not A Senior Yet

Now, I am 54 years old and I am in no way what you would call a senior or senior citizen. That’s crazy talk. Sure, I am getting closer but this is a little painful if you ask me. These ads need to slow their roll, the algorithm needs to be checked.

Never Be Ashamed Of Your Strange Stuff

I wholeheartedly think this is awesome. Joy comes from different sources and whatever brings your heart some joy love that stuff.

The Word I Should Give Up, Sorry

Daily writing prompt
If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

If there was one word I would have to give up it would be “sorry”. I am a horrible people pleaser and when I feel like I have disappointed or failed someone I will use “sorry” as some sort of excuse. I really shouldn’t do that. I try to please people and when it goes south I should give myself some grace and not worry about failing them. At least I tried. So I guess I am sorry for being sorry and should get rid of that word or limit its use.
