Drawing/Fail



I haven't been feeling all that creative for a while, so I also haven't drawn anything in a while. That lull lead to me having a shaky hand when I try to draw straight lines or detail, so I decided to draw a replication drawing to see if I could match it. Well the above drawing is the result of that, I put on some Miles Davis and went to work, but I made so many errors that all I see is garbage so I stopped drawing it. It just means I need more practice, would be nice if I had a studio drawing table though, and a place to put it for that matter.

iPhone 4 on Verizon?

There's been a lot of hype over the acquisition of the Apple iPhone by cell phone giant Verizon, not only from the plethora of commercials and web advertisements but also the buzz amongst users of the AT&T iPhone. As an iPhone veteran of 4 years, I've seen the ups the downs the programming errors, and of course I've had nearly 60% of my calls dropped for no apparent reason and dealt with Apple's awful slow release of hardware upgrades to new phone versions that other phones have had for years. Yet I stuck with AT&T and Apple over the years because quite simply, it works. The phone does exactly what its been programmed to do, there are no software comparability issues, no apps in the app store that don't work with the phone and Apple's amazing upkeep of the iOS to keep it current. 

For some time now there have been rumors floating around the net that Verizon was to get their hands on the iPhone, and they seemed promising because Verizon would not confirm or deny the possibility as well as Apple kept their lips sealed which usually means what you think it means. It was believed that Verizon would make the big announcement of iPhone coming to the network at this years CES, however they did not and it left many people wondering if it would happen at all. Then just a week after the show the announcement broke and we started seeing commercials for a Verizon iPhone 4, god's be praised! At long last the iPhone is free of the awful and slow tyrant that is AT&T! 


But all is not well in the land of smart phones because there are many things that are not public that will ultimately put a hold on migration from AT&T iPhone users at least. That lies in how Verizon will be handling the phone within their network. Something that I often use my iPhone for when on a call, I will use the iPhone's multitasking abilities to bring up a website or directions etc. On the Verizon network this will at least for the time being, not be a function possible on their iPhone. Why?!?! You might ask in outrage, because Verizon's iPhone will be running on their CDMA 3G band. Verizon natives will recognize this, as it does not allow for simultaneous voice and data streaming. This is a huge setback if you are like me and have been using this feature on iPhone for years, after seeing this I decided I will be staying with AT&T until Verizon decides to bring iPhone onto the their new LTE 4G network band. 


Another reason to take issue with Verizon putting the iPhone on the CDMA 3G band is international usability, as most European cellphone companies use GSM. You do have to jailbreak your AT&T iPhone to use it internationally (jailbreaking is now legal by the way) but at least the option is there. Another reason to pause with caution is the data plans, a mandatory addition to your bill with the iPhone and most smartphones. After AT&T figured out that iPhone's alone were putting a stranglehold on the network with data consumption they phased out their unlimited data plans for the phone and introduced new limited usage plans. Those like myself who had the plan from day 1 were grandfathered in and allowed to keep the unlimited plan (for $30 a month mind you). I am an admitted data-junkie, and 2 gigabytes of data per month is staggeringly below my usage level, I constantly check Twitter feeds, Facebook, RSS, and email not to mention using Netflix on the phone. As many users mirror my experience I would imagine it would be very hard to try to limit your use as to not incur overage charges after having free reign for so long. 

As with all of the previous Apple launches I am anticipating that there will be mass quantities of new adopters and also migrating AT&T customers lining up at Apple and Verizon stores on launch day. If memory serves, there will not be enough iPhones to go around, because Apple is notorious for not having enough stock at launch date. While the pricing for the Verizon iPhone is identical to AT&T (16gb $199 and 32gb $299) that price is only with a new 2 year contract. Another thing to think about if you  are an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4, guess what? Your iPhone wont work on Verizon, remember how I said their version is CDMA? Well that also means that your GSM AT&T iPhone is useless on their network, so that means you have to buy another iPhone 4 from Verizon. 

So it seems that there are positives and negatives to Verizon picking up the iPhone, mostly the positives being the added revenue to Apple's already severely bloated bank accounts. While I'm sure there will be more than enough Verizon customers that want to get the iPhone 4 on their network, I think there will be less than anticipated AT&T migrant users after they are informed of what they will have to lose in order to do so. I hate to say it but I will be staying with AT&T until iPhone is at the very least put on the LTE 4G network band..or (and more likely) until my contract runs out and I can get a Sprint HTC Evo. Nice try Verizon, better luck next time.

Clickity clack! Blog now supported by Google Ad Sense!



In hopes that I will still be able to generate semi-interesting content as well as motivation to create said content in addition to things like "Hot Chick of the day" in my blog, I have entered Google's Ad Sense program. What this means essentially is that Google will be placing ad's and search bar's and links within my blog, then when awesome people like you the reader, click on those ad's it will long story short return ad profit to Google which they will share a small portion with me, awesome right? Right. So I am hoping that I can generate a larger audience that will then in turn click the ad's which will then make me MONAYYYY! So tell your friends, tell yo kid's and tell your husband's too 'cause I want everybody's traffic over here. What this will mean unfortunately is that I will be whoring my blog on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube and possibly Dailybooth if I can get over my fear of unedited photo's of myself. So please stick with me here, everyone has to start somewhere right?

Assassinating the cast of Jersey Shore



I've really had enough of these vapid douchebags and it's high time someone took them out, so I dreamt up some imaginative or not so imaginative ways for them to be assassinated. Enjoy.

"Dj Pauly D"
The fact that this juicehead moron is even allowed to put the prefix "DJ" into his name is a shame to all real dj's out there. Being that he think's he is a dj, that will be his demise put him as a warm up for Deadmau5 and arm the crowd with dull sporks and allow them to dismember every shitty tribal tattoo and bit of steroid created muscle from his body. Of course his hair is impenetrable so don't bother with the head. 

Jenni Farley "J-woww"

I don't know anything about this one honestly, and since I will not willingly subject myself to the awfulness of the show I'm going easy on her. Hand her over to an unlicensed but affordable Peruvian plastic surgeon and let him create the first ever living chupacabra, facial structure is already there just give it some claws and a bottle of hipnotic. Side note, what exactly is "woww" (two w's..) about this one? She looks like a future cast member of desperate housewives of new jersey.

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino 
Ugh, where to start with this one. This guy pisses me off in so many ways it isn't...maybe it is..funny..whatever.  He really just needs to admit that he's gay, that's ok really no one would care but no he insists that he's some kind of jersey god's gift to women or girly asian boys, depending on who's looking. I think this calls for some good ole' fashion mid-evil torture technique. For this, The Wheel: in which a rope was attached to each of the limbs of the criminal, one being bound round each leg from the foot to the knee, and round each arm from the wrist to the elbow. These ropes were then fastened to four bars, to each of which a strong horse was harnessed, as if for towing a barge. These horses were first made to give short jerks; and when the agony had elicited heart-rending cries from the unfortunate man, who felt his limbs being dislocated without being broken, the four horses were all suddenly urged on with the whip in different directions, and thus all the limbs were strained at one moment. If the tendons and ligaments still resisted the combined efforts of the four horses, the executioner assisted, and made several cuts with a hatchet on each joint. When at last, for this horrible torture often lasted several hours - each horse had drawn out a limb, they were collected and placed near the hideous trunk, which often still showed signs of life, and the whole were burned together.

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi 
What is a snooki? Does it mean orange-midget-retard-oompalooma? Because that's certainly what this chick embodies. And what the hell is that thing on her head? Is it hair or a culmination of tumors and herpes and cysts gestating over where her brain used to be. This bitch is only a little taller than a coffee table and spends more time in a tanning salon than John McCain spends screaming hate speech to the Senate. I say throw her in the locked containment area of the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, generate some anti-matter and see if we can turn her into the first ever Orange Hole, so she wont just have one, she will BE one. 

 Vinny Guadagnino 
 This guy is such a loser that IMDB's only blip about him says "italian-american". I think someone said he wants to be a lawyer or something, sorry but I think Staten Island's court circuit is full-up of wanna-be-guido-lawyers who passed the bar because of their daddy's. Since he claims to have an affinity for the law I'll go with a straight up old fashioned hanging in front of the Supreme Court Appellate Division building on 27 Madison Avenue of New York City.


The rest of them..just let them continue going tanning 3x a day until they get skin cancer and commit suicide over their lack of neon-orange glow, I got bored in the middle of this so I don't really care about the rest of the cast even enough to post their names.



**This is what I feel is obvious but I'll say it anyway, this is a joke and in no way factual feeling or thought but rather the summation of sarcastic irritation played out via sadistic hypothetical death scenarios, if you don't get sarcasm or 'black comedy' (not black as in black people, black as in dark) then seriously consider how sheltered you are and promptly slap yo self.**

Aw man, all we have in America is Shake weight..


Ok so I stole this from sxephil off youtube, but wow this video is hilarious for so many reasons. Also it puts together two of my favorite things, boobs and asian girls. I guess the real idea is, ladies if you want bigger boobs then do jumping jacks, in front of me, go on...
