Calling All BlackBerry Users
I have been wanting a Blackberry for EVER! Now that T-Mobile has these new and great plans and they have it where if you buy a new phone you can spread it out in 20 months to pay for it ... I am going for it! I think thats nice.
So here is my chance. My chance to buy the phone I have been craving forever.
The thing is...the newest Blackberry is supposed to come out soon (The T-Mobile Rep actually said next week) and its the 9700. But, I dont know if I should get it only because its new...therefore its going to have it glitches and stuff wrong with it and I dont have time to keep sending a phone back and forth. So, I could just get the lastest one out right now at T-Mobile, which is the 8900.
So, my fellow BB users, what do you guys think? 8900 or 9700? I hear the 8900 is just as great as well!
P.S. This may be a little bad. But the best thing I am looking foward to is my fantastic Twitter apps, BBM and other instant messenging features and the web that I hear is so great. So I really dont care too much about the acutal talking on the phone part. But with all this updated technology on phones today, I think a lot of people think the way I do. lol

Valued Life Lesson
I hate losing good friends. I hate losing good friends for stupid reasons. Most importantly, I hate losing good friends because of horrible boyfriends.
I had lots of great friends throughout my college career. One in particular was Shanna. We met my sophomore year and had a lot of things in common. We had the same major and had tons of classes together. I went to dinner with her other friends as well as outings and even to church. She was actually my only Christian friend in college that I could talk to about God. You can defiantly say we were pretty close. We even graduated from college together…sat right next to each other and took pictures.
After college we both went back to our home towns. We both grew up in Detroit. She still continues to live there but we still lived 15min apart.
Almost 2 years ago, I started my journey on finally getting my license (Yes, I got it at 24yrs old. I was a late bloomer), in which I did, and then started saving my money to buy my 1st car.
Up to this time, my parents and sisters were taking me to and work and they were not happy about it. I was CONSTANTLY getting yelled at because they were tired of taking me everywhere and always asked me again & again when I was going to get my own car. I had only $1500 and got really desperate because I wanted my family off my back so I started asking around to see if anyone was selling cars. Shanna told me about how her new “older” (31yrs old) boyfriend looks for cars and hooks people up all the time. He fixes them up and sales them. So I started calling him and asked him more about this “business” of his because I was now getting desperate for a car and needed help. Because I knew Shanna for 4yrs and I trusted her…I then trusted him.
That was my biggest mistake.
I told her boyfriend of the car I was looking for and my price range. He tells me he finds these cars at auctions and buys, faxes and sales them. He told me if could find me something but at auctions you will need something to put down so he needed $500. Being that I “trusted” him and he knew what he was doing (I knew been to a car auction in my life so had no clue on what went on at these) so I gave it to him. He then tells me he bought a white car (Forgot the name of it) and the price is $1500 and now the mechanic has it and he is doing whatever he needs to do on it.
He then tells me the mechanic needs more money to continue to fix the car. He wants $600. I then tell him I didn’t feel comfortable giving him this amount of money anymore and I haven’t even seen the car yet. So I made him sign a promissory note basically describing the intentions for the funds he is receiving and if I don’t receive a car within another month, I want all my money back. He signs it.
Unfortunately, I never received my car. I started calling him like a stalker ex-girlfriend to give me my money back…even threatened to sue. Her boyfriend continued to lie, lie and lie more about where the car was, that the car was getting still getting fixed, the mechanic broke his hand on something on the car and he couldn’t work (Yeah, I know). He even lied to Shanna and told her he did give the money back to me and she called me right after and I told her hell no!
Shanna felt really bad about the whole situation. She was the one who gave the Go Ahead to his “business”. She said he never did this to anyone before. She then told me she is in a bad spot of being in the middle and doesn’t know how to deal with it. So after that conversation, I stopped calling. It was obvious who wears the pants in that relationship.
So I sued him. He never showed up because he is a coward (And a lot more that I will not go into detail about) so I won. I then could decide how I would get my money back. Of course I wanted to take it from his checks. But I needed all this information in order to do it. And since I didn’t have the info I had to pay more money to do this and that. It just became a drag and a big burden.
Shanna and I friendship began to deteriorate more and more. We stopped talking. Before we stopped completely she even said she will pay me back with her tax returns. I told her that would be nice but that’s not her job. Her man took my money and continued to lie to her face and said he gave it back to me. If you don’t have honesty & trust in a relationship what do you have?
Oh yeah….she also lost her virginity with that piece of shit of a man and became pregnant the very 1st time. So now she is having a baby with a man that aint worth shit! And probably continues to lie to her. A man that will fuck over one of her best friends and don’t even freakin care.
I really wanted to reconcile the friendship I once had with Shanna. Before I deleted my Facebook page, I sent her a message. I wrote how I missed hanging with her and we should do something soon. Of course, it couldn’t be at her place (They lived together) but just go out and hang. She sent me a message back saying she was pregnant again (WTF, this was a girl that never wanted a man to touch her! She has sex one time and can’t stop having babies now, I guess) and of course I was shocked. I told her congrats and gave her my number and for her to please contact me back.
I haven’t changed my number in a year. She hasn’t called yet.
P.S. I eventually got the number of the mechanic that was working on the car (Don’t remember how) and HE actually did hook me up with a great car. It was a 1990 Buick Lasabre and I still drive this car today. I am now looking for something younger! Lol
Unfortunately, I never did get my money back. I just look at it as a very valued life lesson learned…

15 Signs Your Boyfriend Is Annoying
Saw this on CNN site and thought it was funny...
1. Accent-uate the negative: Unless he's an "actor" or paid impersonator, faking an accent is lame. He may think he's playing the "wacky guy" with that Austin Powers-style "Yeah baby, yeah!" but eventually he'll drive you -- and everyone in hearing range -- nutty.
2. If you kill it, you gotta fill it: If he eats all your emergency PMS goodies, he best be replacing them or heads will roll, once a month, like clockwork.
3. Thinks life is a stage: When he tells a story, he needs everyone around to give him their undivided attention.
The Frisky: Why you shouldn't date a comedian
4. Nothing to say, lips still flappin': Speaking of mouthing off, there is no such thing as a comfortable silence to this dude. He'd rather say something dumb that he'll wind up apologizing for than just let it be quiet. If there's fresh air, he'll suck it all in.
5. Old fart: Everyone likes fart jokes, but he thinks his actual farts are hilarious, no matter where he unleashes the beast. He wants you to get in on the joke too.
6. Dirty deets: Any adult knows, you've got to clean up after yourself. But whether it's an awkward social situation or the dishes, he just skeedaddles like a child.
The Frisky: Where to find the ugliest men in America
7. Let it go: He doesn't get that if you're not laughing, you don't think his joke is funny. He keeps repeating himself or finds new ways to tell it, thinking you'll just give in, rather than earning your giggle with a truly funny joke.
8. A real flub(ber): He doesn't feel like he needs to keep your secrets or protect your sensitivities, especially when exploiting them will make him seem cool. If you've got flabby arms, he'll insist on poking them and laughing. And really, when has poking someone not been annoying?
The Frisky: How much is too much information?
9. Catchphrase: Like his favorite sitcom characters, he has tag lines he repeats over and over again. Or maybe he just steals famous ones. Either way, they don't always apply to the situation, but he thinks it's a cute way to end the scene he's making. "That's what she said" stopped being funny three seconds after it was said the first time.
10. Eating (bad) habits: Sure, you like to get down on some food and enjoy. But the way he eats, you can't even watch. He makes a mess of himself and talks with his mouth open all the time. Not sexy.
The Frisky: Clothes do not make the man
11. Disturbing: He has no qualms interrupting you while you're working, on the phone, and even sleeping. If he wants something, he will bother you.
12. Sinking the friend ship: At first, your friends might have thought he came on strong, but they'll give him more chances to hang. However, after a couple of parties together, you'll notice that they're trying not to include him, to get you alone, or are avoiding him even when he is around. He's driving them bonkers.
The Frisky: 5 friends you don't need
13. Needy boy: He play the sensitive guy card and gets all emo about things when really, he just wants attention. His mantra is "me, me, me, me, me."
14. Phone it in: He will pick up his phone anywhere, anytime ... even if you're in the middle of something important, like complaining about his behavior.
15. Coming in last: He has to have the last word. Always. Even when he's obviously wrong.

Weight Loss Journey
This past August, I told myself I was going to do it. There have been too many failed attempts and this time I will succeed. I will no longer be too lazy or think I can't do it. Because I know I can. All it takes is dedication and motivation...
I started my journey of losing weight. My goal is to lose 60 by February 3, 2010 ... My 3yr Anniversary with my boyfriend. Thus far, I have lost 17lbs and I am very happy with myself! I have been eating great and exercising like crazy! I thought I needed people to push me along the way, but I learned if you need people to push you, there is not going to be much success towards the end. You have to want it for yourself and that is exactly what I want.
I did weigh myself this morning and noticed I havent lost anything recently. I guess people call that "hitting a plateaù" but I am not going to be discouraged (Well, I was a little bit but I gave myself a pep talk) and I am going to change up my workout a little and get back into it.
Can't wait until I reach my half mark! Wish me luck!

No Facebook And Life Still Goes On
I had read another Xanga Blog about her deactivating her Facebook account and I agreed with her entirely and I felt compelled to write my own.
I was on Facebook for a very long time. I still remember when it first came out. It was only for college students and I believe I was a Junior in college so it had to me 2005? Somewhere around or in that year. I didn’t get on it at first. A lot of my friends where on but I didn’t feel the need because I didn’t know what it was and nor did I care. Someone told me it’s just a profile where you add friends and leave messages.
Later on, friends were talking about it constantly…whether it was about a funny drunk picture or something someone said on someone’s wall. So I became intrigued and registered an account myself. I fell in love myself and it defiantly made the time pass by extremely fast while I was in college and waiting for another class to start.
Since I have graduated from college I have other responsibilities where I can’t be on the Internet 24/7. Thus, I don’t have time for Facebook. I also stopped communicating with a lot of my “friends” on there. I didn’t even talk to a lot of people through messages and no one ever contacted me so I felt what was the need? I am never on there and I am certainly not trying to keep in touch with anyone and the people I am close to and still in touch with knows how to contact me. I was getting even more tired of all the unnecessary emails I constantly got from people inviting me to events and trying to get me to join a group! It started to get very irritating. So, I basically stopped going on Facebook for weeks sometimes months at a time. Therefore, I decided to deactivate my account.
And let me tell you…people were APPALLED! They just couldn’t believe it!
“Why would you ever delete your account!?”
“Get back on!”
“Why would you do that? I cant live with out getting on Facebook everyday!”
“I cant believe you did that!”
How about because I have a life outside of Facebook!
Deactivating your Facebook account doesn’t mean you are deleting it, which I thought it did. All it does is “hibernate” your account like a little bear. You don’t get any more emails, no messages and no one can see your account and add you as a friend but if you feel that you want to get back on all you have to do is sign on with your old email and password and your profile is back like it was when you left it…same friends, same messages in inbox and same old messages on wall. And that’s what I did. During my “hibernation” I felt that I did lose communication with some people…like family and some friends! They wouldn’t answer text and pick up their phone but they answered you when it comes to posting comments on your wall. Which I thought was ridiculous!
After a year of “hibernation”, I decided to get back on the Facebook train and thought I would give it another shot. And it was the saaaaame way. Some things about it change but I still felt extremely bored. I just don’t care about people putting up drunk and funny pics or commenting on peoples wall so other people can read it. What really got me feeling weird is when people put up their whole life stories on their status messages. I am not one who cares to know about people tired of not finding love and women taking other women’s man! Sorry.
I was on there for a couple months and decided to again delete my account but this time it was for good. I also deleted my MySpace, which I actually loved but it’s the same either anymore.
I don’t feel any sorrow. I don’t feel any pain. And I am glad. I am glad my email box is cleaner!
There is life beyond Facebook….like Twitter! Which I love. People say its pretty dumb…BUT THEY DO THE SAME THING ON FACEBOOK…UPDATING THEIR STATUS EVERY 5 MIN…so what’s really the difference? Really?
Twitter to me is less stress. No pics. Its more simple. Its not just updating your status messages. You can also send messages to other people and there is always a topic to “twit” about which I love because some people can be so funny. The more people you follow, the more fun it can be! Please try it before you knock it… Follow me at www.twitter.com/kristenrenee523. And I will love to follow all my Xangan friends also!
