Cell Phone Contracts

December 30th, 2005

So recently Jen and I realized that our cell phone coverage was far to expensive for us at this time. We are currently with NEXTEL or Sprint, whatever the hell they are calling themselves now. Anyway this leads me to the issue at hand Cell Phone Contracts.

Now these things have been around for a long time where if you sign X amount of your life away you get this great rate for that period of time. The problem here is that if you decide their service sucks ass (NEXTEL doesn’t work AT ALL during several parts of my morning and evening commute) you are pretty much screwed. It’s not that you can’t get out of the contract at all but the great thing is they make you shell out like $200+ dollars just so you can cancel your (Shitty) service. The greatest part about all this is that half the time you don’t sign shit but you are stuck in a contract.

So if we wanted to get new phones we would have to shell out $400 JUST TO SWITCH to a new provider. Needless to say I am skipping out in May when our contract(s) expire. We could get 2 plans for the cost of the ONE we have now. There is at least one other way to get out of these plans and that is to exchange your plan with some other poor soul using an online service such as Cell Trade USA but honestly that is kind of a pain in the ass.

Well that’s enough ranting for now, if you wish to do some research on Cell Phone Contracts just do a simple Google search can give you a bit more information. In case I don’t come back here until next year I hope everyone has a great new year!

Hamma Update

December 28th, 2005

Once again I come to you after months of not posting I really suck at blogging mostly because I always forget to come here. But nevertheless here I am with another update.

Christmas has passed finally I had a pretty good holiday considering. Since it starts well before Thanksgiving now I am so glad to have it over, when I was a kid Christmas kicked ass but now it just sucks.

There have been very few games to keep my attention over the past couple months. Usually during the holidays there are more games than I can handle but it seems that this year it’s all about the XBOX 360 which I won’t be buying until the price goes WAY down.

So I have headed back to PlanetSide along with CDL. We had a great time in the game when it came out and we have gone back again. We are having just as much fun as we once did in the game. The Merits that are in now give some incentive to continue improving your character. We’ve started right where we left off with our Tip of the Spear operations and tower ownage and it has been a complete blast. I am getting involved more in Command considering it seems any of the other CR5’s don’t give 2 shits anymore and just talk about random dumb shit on the command channel. I’ve found it quite rewarding relaying information for people and helping to organise assaults.

So keep an eye out for us in PlanetSide – until we meet again (I’d say 3 months?) in all seriousness I am going to try and update way more often. So until next time :p
