It really makes you appreciate what a Pretzel has to go through to be born, doesn’t it? Not to mention bendy straws, bed springs, and the noble Slinky. It really puts things in perspective. No, no it doesn’t, but you understand what I’m saying.

OK, time to get serious. I have a confession to make. I need to open up a bit and come clean with you all about something that I’ve known all my life. It has to do with my lifestyle, and the way I live, but never really had the guts to acknowledge.

All my life, I’ve done things the way I was supposed to, I went with the flow and did things one way when in my heart I was screaming for the other. It’s eaten away at me for years, and until now I’ve been afraid to even admit it to myself or speak it out loud.

I’ve searched my heart, and as of right now I am tired of living the lie. I need to be myself, proud, open and free. Some of you may be shocked at what I’m about to say, and others may have suspected all along. I’d like to thank my closest friends who have been with me and supported me as I struggled to finally stand up and announce to the world:

I am a Mac user.

That’s right, I bought a MacBook this past weekend, and I have never felt better about it. Some of you have been following the ordeal of my PC laptop and it’s faulty screen (a special shout out to @DocNasty for his incredible help), and in the end, it just makes sense to make this switch now.

I think that PC laptops are the next phase of the “disposable” electronics trend that we’ve seen with DVD players, TVs, and Cell Phones in the last few years. The MacBook will last me for at least the next half a decade (especially based on the amazing warranty), and if anything goes wrong: Boom, New one. The deal was right, the time was right, and the computer is on my desk, ready to be broken in as we speak!

Now… how do you use one of these things..?
