Typos

Okay, I know I am not the worlds greatest linguist, and nor am I the worlds greatest typist. Combine those two facts and my instant messages, blogs, and e-mails are probably filled with all sorts of typographical errors. Understanding that I may sound like a hypocrite, I must exclaim how irritated I am at society for being horrible at English. Simple words that are commonly confused like two, too, and to. The one that set me off today was "Are bodies were not meant for that"! ARE? ARE? How about OUR!!!! What irritates me the most is that this is not something typed up quickly like an instant message (and even then, I would hope most of my friends would know the difference), I am reading a professional article. People are paid good money to make sure that these types of mistakes are not made and yet they go through. I am mostly saddened by the lack of quality in American work. Grammar and spell check has ruined us all.

Now that I have the phone that Ive always wanted. I now have nothing =/

I got the illustrious Iphone for Christmas. It almost lives up to all the hype. Had I done any research what so ever, I would have realized that the phone portion of it is an afterthought, it is really the coolest hand held Internet device that happens to let you make phone calls and simple text messages. Surprisingly it doesn't even allow you to stream music via bluetooth as most new cell phones do and as I had expected. I suppose that is my biggest letdown. Anyways, this post isnt about the downfalls of the Iphone as it is still the best device I have all around, portability, what it does, etc.  What really irks me, especailly right now that I am home from work is that I now have nothing. I live alone and all my friends and family live way too far to drive to and back in one night. I used to fill the void by checking my e-mail, MySpace, and Facebook. Well, now that I am connected everywhere I am I dont wonder if I have a message waiting for me, I know (I mean, I usually knew anyways cuz there was never myspace love, but I still checked).

A Question Revisited

I was going through some old question things I posted on My space and it was pretty interesting to read the answers that I wrote. One question that caught my eye specifically was "what was my favorite age?". Back then, I answered 20, and when asked why the answer was long, but it came down to the fact that it was a very care free time in my life, I made good money for my age and had virtually no responsibilities. Fast forward a few years, I wonder what my answer would be. There was a while when I thought High School would be the pinnacle of my life, that was soon after high school but thankfully that certainly is not the case. I don't know if I can really pinpoint a single age as my best age especially since many of my years blur together into segments of my life. There was the pre-military, Oklahoma, Korea, Florida, Oklahoma Part II, and Now. I would have to say that each part of my life has remarkably great and horrible parts. Prior to the military, was the whole DDR thing and just having fun and being sophomoric. Basic training and tech school had some memories, but that was a lot of whatever. Oklahoma had all my deployments and that is where I have to say I made some of the most lasting friendships. Korea was my opportunity to party hard, frequent drunkenness and stupidity. Florida brought me into a whole new society, white trash world! Some of the best and worst people and most interesting adventures. My second time in Oklahoma gave me new friends and a new non-military perspective in life and right now I get to keep in touch with the best of my friends and I have all the knowledge acquired throughout the years. I would have to say I am either living the best age of my life or the best has still yet to come.

I am curious what you might say your highlights were in your life? What was your favorite age, or time frame?
