An Apple a day really gets on my nerves...


Have you heard about the new IPad?

Let me enlighten you.



It's supposed to be an e-reader just like the Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble nook and other different models.

But.... on an IPad you can watch movies, tv shows, listen to music.... is this sounding familier yet?

It sounds like every other Apple product out there.

I know I'm crazy... what's not to like about Apple?

For one, their prices. I can't afford them! I can't just throw down that much money on something that will only be upgraded 6 months later.
Two, they're all the same but come in different sizes.
For example, on most products (not the Ipod nanos) you can get the internet, they're touch screen, you can watch movies etc. etc. etc. If I want to carry around a computer I can do that with my laptop and have a bigger screen. (thanks for pointing that out Kellyn ha ha)
Three, I really hate Itunes. I must be special because everytime I figure out all the new gagdets they make me upgrade to another one and it takes forever, AND I can never get anything to work right. My poor Ipod has had the same music on it forever because I hate spending the time figuring out stupid Itunes.

This is starting to sound like I'm mad... I'm really not... I'm just tired of hearing about Apple all the time when the off brands of their products usually work better.

Now I do have to say that Apple's computers are THE BEST for music stuff. They really are so I love them for that but everything else.... meh. I'd rather buy something cheaper that works better and be satisfied than buy the Apple name just because they're so popular.

Mostly I think I'm just venting about this because it took me forever to rip a CD to Itunes last night and then it wouldn't work right.


I think I'm one of few in the world who are Apple-illiterate. I can't work the darn things!

Oh... before I started this little rant I was trying to make a point. So here it is...

If I were to buy an e-reader... that's what I want it to be. I don't want space taken up by movies and other stuff it would be used just for books.


That's why I'm saving up for a Barnes and Noble nook ;)

Two + one = Zero

 2 Auditions for summer programs = 2 rejection letters.

1 Audition for Concerto Night at WSU = 1 rejection for Concerto Night.


I guess there is something else in store for me.



I just wish I knew what.
