The new Sexy:Targus Miami Messenger CityGear Laptop Case

Targus CityGear Messenger Laptop Case

As I already posted I purchased a new laptop last weekend, a Toshiba Satellite, which was lovely, shiny and pretty. And while I did have a laptop before the old laptop was a 15.5" Acer Aspire which barely lasted me two years, well when I bought the Aspire I also bought a laptop case so that I could carry it around to various job sites and better handle my responsibilities. The problem is my Toshiba is a 17.3" laptop yup thats right a good 1.8" inches larger than my old laptop, so when I attempted to place my laptop in the case it wasn't happening. and it makes absolutely no sense to attempt to use a laptop case that won't fit your laptop. So needless to say I went shopping for a new one.

First things first it seems that 17.3 laptops don't get a lot of love in the case department, looking at Best Buy's site(I have a reward zone card because we tend to buy a lot of electronics as a company and hey why not get bonuses for it) MOST of the cases 17" and over(which is funny the largest screen size I have seen Best Buy sell is 17.3 thus why not just say 17.3", it's not like a 17" won't fit in there) were on the ugly side, not only that but they were pretty expensive. Looking at the site best buy offered 4 two of the messenger bag/briefcase style and two of the Backpack style, now to some who know me it would probably seem like a no brainer that I would go for the backpack, I used to gladly carry one for years. NO, I am trying to get away from that so no more backpacks yes I still love carry lots of things with me and tend to be "king of pockets" but I don't want to have a back pack on my back anymore. So in essence those were out.

Just because I held the door

Just because I held the door doesn't mean I'm expecting panties off and legs spread. That's silly, not only if I expected that but for you to think that. You could have asked me why instead of giving me attitude, was I trying to be charming and a gentleman yup. Because maybe me doing one, small, insignificant, inconsequential thing for you could send a little sunshine my way. A smile, a "thank you" something simple for something simple. Maybe me catching a door for you means my wife, mother, sister, aunt, cousins or friends could catch some good karma in return and have somebody do something nice for them.

I mean am I worth so little? Because you turned around and said "Thank you" or returned my "have a nice day" that now you can have my penis anytime. Did you ever think that it wasn't your attractiveness that got me to hold that door but possibly my fathers example, or my mothers love? I've often gotten into online philosophical confrontations over whether or not anyone(male or female) is owed a thank you for doing something nice. The answer is yes, a simple thank you would suffice and a smile with that thank you would be awesome.

Running, running, running

Hello my dear readers I know I still have yet to do the "Hanna" blog it has been a hectic week. I will do it tonight(possibly on this car trip since I'm gonna miss Smallville), I've had to deal with a hack attempt on my computer(which failed mostly, they fried my safe mode I haven't had time to find the registry prompts yet to repair it), had a few late nights, still haven't gotten over my Collergy, but I did find my backflip(it was in the damn front yard).

I've been rained on a few times this week, I've read a few blog entries by others, I have mildly been getting my tumble on. I have gone back to my sporadic Tweeting(and killed my cousins car charger). I am pondering giving Ero his own section of the ponderings, I want to nurture my baby brothers wit and curiosity. He'll just have to obey the rules if he wants to do it. Posting only,(means I'll have to start editing for real) its still my blog he wants to do it, likes it and wants full control he'll have to start his own blog.

On a quest to get "Faster"

Yeah yeah, I may(but doubt) change that title later for now I'm walking to the theater to go watch "Faster" starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Now I'm going to try something new for this blog I'm gonna type to my little hearts content get to the theater and HOPEFULLY take a photo of another one of Memphis Tn's local dieing malls. Now I've never been in Raleigh Springs mall proper, just into the movie theater and usually for the last or second to last showing.

My mall of choice for most of my time in Memphis was the now MOSTLY defunct Hickory Ridge mall. For most of my time in Memphis it was the mall right down the street now yes I had been to the Mall of Memphis before it shut down(and was then knocked down) but for the majority of my original 6 year stint I was at hickory ridge with brief junkets to WolfChase Galleria(though the only Gal anything mall with a hug place in my heart is the Gallery in Philly).

Call it my "Harbinger of a Declining Economy" but as the entire premise(to my understanding) behind a mall was: enclosed, weather proof, one stop shopping and close proximity for the convenience of consumers with concrete ideas of what they were looking for AND extra discretionary funds in case something shiny caught their eye. Now while walmart may have cheaper pricing on SOME items, some things only helped you if you were a cookie cutter consumer(at first I admit walmart steadily improved itself in the minds and hearts of consumers) so certain things the mall still had them beat on:shoe selection, plus size clothing, electronics selection, tools, automotive, toys, books, etc. Wally world was working its way UP to being your true one stop shop but they weren't quite there yet.

Even in 05 before I left to go to Atlanta the super walmart had just opened down the street so walmarts dominance of my area had not yet begun. After a while though being a second shifter (past 5pm til 1 am or later 3rd shift usually starts after 10 or 11 pm)

Okay at the theater movie about to start about to silence my phone and record the trailers on faster for my walk back. See ya in 2 hours

Blanket over the City

The M-town is covered by a blanket of fog today, low visibility. That's kind of how I woke up though, mind in a fog consciousness hazy. We gotta head back out to where ever we were yesterday to finish up. I mean I could go like a week without dealing with dude again. I hate people who act like your dumb, especially when you try to pull the "I'll be nice to you cause I think you're in charge, but I'm gonna talk down to the 'help' like their garbage".

A) I already told you ONE of them was my little brother so talking down to him WILL piss me off.

B) we work together, so fam past you few sheckels, dinars, green backs, or somolians once we done with your store I still gotta work with them.

C) you ain gonna wanna pay anyway so trying to get extra equipment, services, or work out of us isn't gonna fool anybody. We are gonna inform the boss, we are gonna have that added to the bill.

Enough about yesterdays aggravation, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt. 1 comes out to night(speakin of let me hit up Bay Bro and see if he wants to go tonight, 0_o he's talking crazy back to the blog). I think they should have done the last 3 books in two parts. There was enough Vital material to justify it. The amount of crap they cut out JUST to fit it into the "under 2 hours - 2 hours 30 minute" format was a travesty.

Rolling 3rd seat with my younger brother and cousin so once I get done with this card upgrade guess what I'll be doing? Not a damn, well that ain exactly true I'll help as best I can same as last night. I'll be thumbing them in too though. Like I told my cuz before I do everything on this berry and I'm not even really all up on my JO yet when it comes to my blogging and tweeting. I'll be honest I'm still kinda lackadaisical with it.

Now I know some will say "with all the content you've been kicking out lately THIS is lackadaisical". Folks if I actually do this, I mean for real do this just unleash all the pent up stories, anecdotes, jokes, flights of fancy, opinions, and observations. Think of how much I type now, now imagine how much I must have pent up if this is the stuff I find TIME to get off my chest with my busy schedule. This E-mail blogs let me spit ponderings I usually lose while I'm on the road when it was in my head all day til the work got started.

Whole car rides full of detailed thought processes that once its not foremost in my mind are gone until they wind back up. So now that I can text them in, e-mail them in or type them up on the desktop while I may have to do some editing later its so much easier.

Well cards in, both of his monitors are up, one of the cameras that were down is now back up so I guess its just the last camera and done. This might be a quick stop, I don't plan to do any fragging, but I may go home and do some more blog tweaks, I want to work on continueing to provide a better experience for all. I MAY add some games or something later, MAYBE, just gotta do some research.

Okay morning edition is being sent to bed before its time to do the afternoon edition, this is mildly extra rambley but eh, at least I'm consistent

First moblog attempt via E-mail

Man this is a annoying day. I've picked up 3 PC's so far am waiting on a call back about the 4th, my phone is getting its normal crappy reception and I need to hit the ATM but my pockets are light.

Somedays it amazes me how I'm vocabularicly balleting through my normal thought processes to translate "me" speak to "ponder acceptable" speak. That whole floor routine up there you wouldn't believe what I was thinking as I typed. This is another post for 2 fold reasons. I wanna check how this blogging version works and I'm bored as hell sitting in a car with nothing to do and no one to harass.

Back to sitting and waiting I'll do another update soon, may need to hit the facilities soon just to drain my bladder
