So, It’s 2008; What a Good Kick-Off…
First I wanted to state, I found it funny that I got quite a few comments saying you knew someone that dropped their phone in the toilet. As if that’s worse than dropping it in the washer. A zapped phone is a zapped phone.
Although, I s’ppose, I’d rather retrieve the zapped phone from the washer than the toilet. I’m allergic to those yellow latex gloves and even more so, to the clear ones. So, yes I guess, I am slightly luckier than your grandma *coughs too*, friend, you, dad’s friend (McLeans), and so on…
All that to say, thanks for the fuzzy comments; they somehow made me feel better. :D
Actually, moving on to point two, I feel quite a bit better about my phone situation, for I now have the king of phones! This is the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition and it’s AWESOME! It’s not only a phone but also has high speed Internet (1.5-mbps) that I’m able to access anywhere I have a regular cell signal. Now all my emails drop down into it. I can IM on both my MSN and YIM. And it has a pretty nice mobile browser, among other things such as: office programs, games (ha), a REALLY nice media center, Google and Yahoo maps, stereo bluetooth, and a lot more.
I’m really pleased with it. I went back and forth between some of the BlackBerrys and Windows Mobile 6.0 devices. BlackBerry (especially this one) is WAY better. The only thing I think I’d like to see on it would probably be a camera. Nope, no camera. Bummer. But this thing really was made and designed for strict office use (even though it has a fantastic media player - music, movies, pictures, and ring tones) which is perfect for me. The tools on this BlackBerry (BB) have really allowed me to take a lot of my work mobile. So, God has blessed me with another phone AND I didn’t have to put on the gloves and reach on down. Win! Win!
:D
Look this over. It’ll give you a 360 of the BB and the specs.
This is pretty funny. Check this out, too:

Here are some cool shots of my new toy:
Hmm, I don’t really understand this one… Ha!
Third point, my Top Comment thing on my sidebar started over since it’s the new year. So, if you’ve always wanted to be top commenter (yeah right), now’s your chance! :P
And my last point in the post. Oh yeah, the New Year!
We really had a great time kicking the New Year off. The Sensenigs, Baughns, and Ryans all came over. The house was pretty packed. Mr. Sensenig is like a master pianist. So after dinner (which was AWESOME - Mom made tostadas), we all went into the living room and sang while Mr. Sensenig played piano. Mr. Sensenig knew how to play just about any song we threw at him. He is excellent.
Here are few videos and pictures:
[STILL WORKING ON UPLOADING THE VIDEOS]
After that, we all prayed the New Year in. It was all a lot of fun. I think we went to bed around 3:30am.
:D
Anyhow, I really have to go. Sorry it took me so long to post.
I will reply to your comments as soon as I get the chance.

Lucky lucky! if I run my phone through the washing machine, think you’d buy me one of those? :D

p.s. Too bad about no camera!! :(

Man, that’s a cool phone, although it is harder to hear you. I guess it’s a PDA with a phone on it?
January 7th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Hey dude, I just thought I’d say, thanks for bragging on my dad. It’s kinda hard not to. It was cool to see you. Oh, and you need to tell me how you have Paul’sBlogging.com but it still shows up on HSB. Comment me back.

Hey dude, saw you were on. Still haven’t gotten that pesky Wifi thing figured out. I think we might just come to your house in a couple of weeks, and we can try to figure that Wifi out.

Me and my dad figured out the problem with my DS. Turns out we hadn’t even configured the wireless yet. Have you hear’d tell of such a thing? Aren’t ya glad I don’t really talk like that? Ha, oh yeah, my dad’s Pocket PC so whoops your BB. You’re just in denial. I know how you are. Haaahh, see you later CornDog Jr.;)

Dude, that is so cool! To quote someone famous, LUCKY!
Now, don’t forget your friends who don’t even have any cell phone. :D
Oh, remember how I said Jaime and I might LAN all New Year’s? Well, my cursed computer foiled our every attempt, but we did end up staying up until 5:30. I then got really sick and spent 20 hours straight (no joke) in bed sleeping the next day. :P

Hey Paulie-
I had a blast talking to you!
I liked your blackberry. It was neat. I thought it was funny when I heard you had dropped your phone in the washer. :) But, glad you are having fun with your new one. I thought it was cool you could get on the web on it. Mom would LOVE that!
Ok, well, come by soon, and come down again soon. :)

Hey Paulie,
Glad to see you have a new post in. And congrats on your new phone!! It looks awesome. Never had a blackberry, but it sure sounds awesome as you described it.
Glad you had a good time kicking off the new year. >> That’s a wonderful idea. What a wonderful thing to do…
Cool!! That’s exciting that you may be around my area some time this year!! It would be awesome to actually see you at one and meet you. I would love to see your new baby sister! LOL Just keep me updated if anything happens ;-)
God bless,
Brooke

oops, what I had in the “>>” it didn’t include, so to not leave you clue less about what in the world I am talking about, I was speaking of how you prayed the new year in. That’s a great idea…
January 12th, 2008 at 5:17 am
Hi Paulie! Happy new year!
The phone is real cool! My dad chatted with you on it with our XBOX360 all the way over in england!!! :)
Anyway, I gotta go!

Hey Paul, I thought you might be interested in this. I thought it was hilarious! Everyone else I showed it to didn’t get it.

Dude, you need to post. And since you didn’t get to it first, I’m gonna say, “Hola, Cheesepuff!”. Haha. Your turn for a comeback. I think I’m gonna get Tony Hawk real soon. Anyway, I will talk to you la la la later.

I’d still have to say that the Treo with Windows Mobile is pretty nice too.

I found the Linux installation thing funny. On a Mac, you are almost forced to build your own apps.

Hey Paulie!! I don’t know why but your not coming up in my RSS reader (google reader) since Oct! I thought you had stopped blogging and then I found this!!! How can I get you to come up in there again???? I can’t find a RSS feed on your blog now and the old one isn’t working! Cute pics of Susi! And that new phone looks VERY complicated! LOL! I think it is having a personality crisis - is it a phone? Is it a computer? Congrats on getting it though! Say hi to your folks for me, I’m going to try and phone them soon!
