Chronicle of a Legend

I had a dissapointing conversation with my treadmill this morning:

“Hey, it’s been awhile, how are things?”

“…”

“Look, things have been crazy. Our schedules always seem to conflict. Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be”

“…”

“Ok, I take that back. We should definitely meet up though. Maybe tomorrow?”

“…”

“I know I always say that, but I mean it this time. I swear”

“…”

I found myself without my iPhone headphones this morning, in a rush to get to work. I would have simply used one of the two dozen pairs I’ve accumulated over the years, if Apple wasn’t such a proprietary whore.

So, I was forced to take the commute to and from work with no music. While it was painful to be without music for 2 hours of public transportation, I learned a few interesting things:

• If you listen closely, you can actually hear birds other than pigeons in Manhattan, somewhere
• There are almost always police, fire, or ambulance sirens going off somewhere
• People will talk about anything on their cell phones, including bizarre medical issues

For those of you not in the know, Newegg is one of the better places to order tech gear online. Not only are their prices extremely competitive, but their shipping times are flat out rediculous.

Last Wednesday for my fathers birthday, I bought him a 4GB Memory Stick for his camera, selecting standard 3-5 day shipping. I ordered it at 3:33pm, and somehow, that flash card got to his door by noon the next day. It’s physically impossible to process an order, pack it, ship it, AND deliver it to someone’s door in less than 24 hours.

The only option? Time travel. Newegg must have harnessed a nearby wormhole, and thrown that baby 2 days into the past. It’s the only logical scenario.

Needless to say, giving consumers the option for next day, or priority shipping now seems moot, since they’ve invented a way to deliver gear to people before they even know they need it…

A big Roadtrip 2k8 post will be coming shortly, but I thought I would pop out a little shorty for everyone.

This morning, at 9am, I found myself sitting in a dentists chair, with two women leaning over me speaking Russian, all while pumping out “PYT.” Any dentist who performs surgery to Michael Jackson is someone who can give me a root canal anytime.

I’m not usually one for stylish shoes, but Jeff Gordon doesn’t always drive a racecar.
