Still Winning, kind of

I've had a lot of different emotions going through me these past few days. After seeing some people for the first time in god knows how long, to talking to some in a long time. A lot is going through my head. Good and bad. I'm not going to elaborate on it too much right now, because i'm still trying to sort it out. But once i do, i'm definitely going to come back here and put it down.

I got me a new cellular device! And it was FREE! I originally got it from the AT&T store, and then the next day my dad saw that it was free at best buy, so we returned it to AT&T, went across the street to best buy, and ordered it from there. Since it was free there, they've been sold out since Sunday. Funny how employee's that aren't on commission tend to actually give you HELP rather than just sell the product (AT&T!). The folks at best buy were really helpful with everything and made sure everything got squared away. I ordered the phone on Wednesday, and guess what came in the mail the very next day?! YEAH! My phone came, along with Lady Gaga's new album, "Born This Way", FOR FREE! Um, SCORE! Anywho, i'm still waiting for my case for my phone to get here. Got it off of Amazon for about 25 bucks. It's an Otterbox so i knew it would be somewhat pricey. But even so, it was cheaper than expected. I did not get the defender case though (the big ones that are practically indestructable) mainly because the HTC Inspire is a large phone as it is, and i didn't want to add a bulky case to it. So i went for the Commuter line, which still protects the phone with two layers, but is dramatically slimmer. They also provide a screen protector that you have to apply, so if anyone is good at doing that, text me :) I always seem to get air bubbles when i do it.

The phone itself, well, not gonna lie, i don't miss the iphone at all. Yes, it is dramatically faster than MY iPhone, but it is also faster than the iPhone 4! I love the size of the screen, and i also love everything that you can do with android! Now i feel like Apple just screws you over by trying to restrain you from EVERYTHING and false advertising their "apps". The market quickly shifted to where people are making apps for android before they make them for apple, merely because of the ease of use. Customization seems to be endless with android. You can definitely make it your own phone. One thing it does lack however is a front facing camera. But i'll sacrifice that for the 8 megapixel HD camera that it does have. :D Back to the apps thing, Apple really does steal your money when it comes to these things! I was scared that android wouldn't have some of the apps that i used. Not only do they have them, but they're FREE! Another thing i'm really liking is all of the "air syncing" that comes with these androids. I never have to plug my phone in to a computer for it to back up my data or update. I can do it all over the air. I am VERY happy with my choice of saving 200 bucks and going Android instead of sticking with Apple. As much as i loved my iPhone (and i still do), this HTC has really won me over.

Anywho, that's about it for now.

Song of the day:

You and I by Lady Gaga

So I am just going to pat myself on the back for guessing your song of the day before even reading your post all the way. I was like, "It's going to be Gaga and so it's has to be You and I." Win.
Also, I need to acquire that CD....
