iPhone 5s Day 13: Delay of game

I'm delaying the surprise. I got way too busy today.

All my eBay stuff sold. Only one person has paid me. Another person is in Russia, which wouldn't be a big deal, if in my auction description, there wasn't this:

I only ship to the United States! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

It's that big on the page. In my selling preferences, I've restricted selling to people in the United States. Yet some loophole allows Borishnikov to bid on my item. Niet biatch, niet.

I still haven't gotten around to buying Lightning cables. I need to make that a priority very soon as running around with one cable is not where it's at.

I got a haircut today for the first time in a couple months. This working from home a majority of the time is wrecking havoc on my hygiene. Don't worry, I still smell like roses. Anywho, my barber and I were discussing the craptacularness which is Atlanta sports when he said even the Dream are "getting merc'd." I hadn't paid much attention, but I thought "getting merc'd" was a bit strong...until I saw the scores. Can an Atlanta pro team win SOMETHING?

Phone is still humming along. Nothing of note or annoyance to report on today. Maybe tomorrow. Speaking of which, I have to get up ridonculously early. Good night.

iPhone 5s Day 12: Soy un perdedor

I believe this is the theme song for Atlanta sports:


I've been in Atlanta for 19 years. I grew up a Knicks, Giants and Mets fan. For some reason or other (usually a player strike), my allegiance to those teams wavered. As I've gotten older and my interest in pro sports revitalized, I've attempted to adopt the home teams, but the home teams have not attempted to pick me up. I'm not going to lie, the Hawks probably don't have a chance as I still bleed blue and orange thinking of Ewing, Oakley, Mason, Starks, Jackson, Anthony, G. Wilkins, Skywalker, King, Houston, Sprewell, Grandmama, I could go on and on. But I've tried to jump on the Braves and Falcons bandwagons, and I usually jump off pretty quickly. Last night was just bad. I only stayed up watching the Braves because they had tied the game, and  were up a run so it seemed a Game 5 was imminent. Much to my dismay, they go down a run in the 8th, and I'm up at 1:30 AM  for no reason. Suckas. And the Atlanta "Waste of a new Stadium" Falcons? All they had to do was make it to a Super Bowl last year, and no one would have questioned the stadium. Now they are throwing crazy money at neighboring churches and losing most of their games to build one...

Cool things with the phone today. The first is a benefit of AT&T, which is their wireless hotspot network. Starbucks and McDonald's use the AT&T wi-fi network. You're saying, "Marco, the wifi at those places are already free dumbass!" You are right, but if you don't have AT&T, you have to join the network, and then you get that annoying "Agree to our ToS biatch!" message, AND THEN you get redirected to some cheesy ad-riddled page. Since I'm on AT&T, I just walked into Starbucks, my wifi connects, and I go along my business. Insert slobbery raspberry in your direction here.

The second was the personal hotspot. It ran faster than the wifi at Starbucks. I almost tested it and a voice call at the same time, but I was doing something important for work, so I didn't want to chance a disconnect at the time. But know that I will test it out, and soon.

I've got to start packing the stuff that I've sold on eBay. I should have a small surprise in store for tomorrow. Not for you though. Not for me either...
