Why John Mayer is my hero

Seriously, this guy is awesome. I mean, who cares about his relationship with Jennifer Anniston and how/why they broke up or if he cheated. But this video here just says it all. When it’s over, it’s over. Why waste anyone’s time. Truer words never spoken…haha!

So I’m heading up to WordCamp tomorrow in SF for the day. It’s basically a conference for users and developers of Wordpress, which is my blogging software. Hopefully I’ll learn some cool stuff. At the very least, it’ll be fun hanging out with computer/blogger people and not people who look at me funny when I talk about Wordpress.

So, my Blackberry Curve got lost/stolen over the weekend at the movie theater. But today, I found an identical phone on Craigslist for $100. Actually, at first I thought I may be someone trying to sell my stolen phone and arranged to meet the guy. But alas, it wasn’t my phone. However, $100 for a replacement versus $400 for a replacement of the same phone is much better since I didn’t qualify for any discounts from AT&T or Amazon since I just bought this phone a couple months ago.

All in all, I’m okay. I was really super annoyed this weekend. The thought of having to buy a new phone before vacation next month did not make me happy. I’m still not thrilled to be out $100, but it could be a lot worse. God is pretty good to me, huh?

I just bought plane tickets to Seattle and New York for more baseball games! I feel like I’m actually accomplishing something, so I’m really happy. Besides, I’ve never been to New York so I’m super excited to go, even to Yankee Stadium.

And it all started with this grand idea. So, I’m not hitting all 15 stadiums I hoped. But 10 this season ain’t bad. Maybe 11 if I can get back down to Anaheim.

Next year gotta hit Boston for sure! So much baseball, so little time!

This might be one of the best days of my life.
