So today was the day they launched it, who got theirs and what are your thoughts?

Futureshop tried to hustle me and bullshitted about their being no line-up and I could pre-order, except I had to get there at 9:30 to make the pre-order and doors opened at 10:00AM. At which time they would review my plan and designate the cost. Ridiculous. On top of that they were only getting in 3 32gb phones at the Futureshop downtown. Now my bet is 95% of people buying tomorrow would want that one. Poorly planned Apple? Just maybe?

People Are Just Different

So I’ve learned anyway. It seems the more you press, the more you try, the more you realize a person’s personality is just that, personal. When someone decides to live a certain way, be it a level of cleanliness or action, whatever, they do so by their own choice.

You can suggest, prod, and even try to force. But if someone wishes to remain the way they are, short of threatening their life, there’s nothing you can do but accept and act the way you should accordingly.

Uninspiring relationships

The plight of an artist, or someone like me that believes he’s one, is the trapped relationship where debt weighs you down, and sympathy for your partner keeps you there. I find little inspiring and the fix I get from weed, food and alcohol goes to wasting time. Not my art as it should do.

So in response, why is it so hard to part ways? Why is it so hard to let go? Is it just finances or the supposed pressure of the decision to change everything?
