Update: Life Itself

Happy Friday to whoever is reading this!

I've strayed from the gung-ho first impression posts of my new laptop purchase.  It must have been a surge of creativity in my brain with the acquisition of a brand spanking new laptop, that I felt the need to start up a blog.

But yet I quite enjoy the blog.  I only wish that I had more to blog about.  I think it comes from the fact that I always liked the idea of keeping a journal, but I don't really have to desire to write.  It must be that my mind thinks faster than I can write, and I feel I cannot get my thoughts out fast enough to be able to put down what I am really thinking.  This is why I am quite keen on typing.  And as you can see from where this paragraph is headed, I like to write in a flow of whatever comes to my mind.  Being able to think and type almost simultaneously makes writing all so very easy.  Although this could be a bane judging by the lack of real content I have going on at the moment.

Now let's see, what to talk about?  I figure I could go with the flow of my past posts, and give an update on my laptop.  To date, I still am very pleased with the performance.  Stylish looks and gaming capabilities have made this laptop the right one for me.  Though it now has it's first battle scar.  The piece of blue plastic inside one of my USB 3.0 ports has snapped off, coming right out with the USB plug of a headset I was using, (and on a side note, I will NEVER buy another USB headset again.  Hated it, too many compatibility issues and no real advantage).  I'm not sure if it's particular to my laptop, but the USB ports are very tight to plug things into and I have not used the second one since in fear of having the same result.

As a result of this happening, I purchased a new headset.  It is a Steel Series 4H, link here.  I am very happy with this headset, produces good sound for good value.  Quite inexpensive comparatively and the microphone has a nice pickup.  Only con would be the cord feels quite thin and fragile, so I would be careful when using these because you wouldn't want them tugging hard.  But, such falls in line with caring for what you own.

Aside from purchases and gadgets, it's finally spring around here.  It's hard to have a perfect day, because around here once the nice weather comes it seems to be always gale-force winds, but I feel guilty complaining after the harsh winter we had (which very much so over extended its welcome).  Currently I'm on the first night of a four day tour here in the town I work EMS at.  It tends to be far too quiet working here.  I don't wish ill fate upon people but to be a bit busier would make the time go by a lot nicer.

But, such is life.  I can't expect to get where I want to go all at once.  I am still young (considering) and have plenty of time to get my experiences in.. You must put in the time, in all aspects of life.  Though each to their own things don't come soon enough, there are others who will get there first.  You just have to wait for your place in time.  After all, what's the god damn rush anyway?

Well, now that I've gone from tech, to reviews, to a rather philosophical offering, I feel I should cut this off before I come up with something else to go on about.  It was nice to put some stuff down on (hypothetical) paper.  I feel everyone needs a journal in some sort of way.  It's kind of like having a conversation with yourself.  Relaxing.

Time to go.  So to whomever you may be, have a damn good Friday night!

Take care.
