Missing my family on my birthday.

  Right now I’m really missing my kids and my fiancee, i wish i could be at home with them right now instead of being at work but I still have 4.5 hours to go before I’m on my way home to my loving family. Hope to see you guys soon.

Something to think about.

Albert Einstein once said:

“There are only two ways to life your life. One is as if nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

Which one are you?

Verizon Wireless Sucks!

  I’ve been a customer of Verizon Wireless for a very long time now and I’ve had the same calling plan for a number of years, my contract has run out about 2 years ago and I’ve been looking into a better calling plan. Currently I pay $49.95 for 1000 minutes with the usual Unlimited In calling and Unlimited Nights and Weekends and I have my fiancée's phone added to my calling plan for an added $20/month. This has worked well for me in the past but recently I found that we have been going over our allotted minutes so i figured it was time to look into a higher minute calling plan.

 

  I went the to Verizon Wireless homepage and took a look around. I was disappointed in the choices they have for calling plans, a 1350 minute plan costs $90 but that is for a single user, if I wanted my fiancee’s phone on the same plan i have to get a family plan which gives me a 1400 minute plan at a cost of $139.99. I can’t believe cell phone plans have gone up in price so much. Sprint has an unlimited everything plan for $99.99 but VZW charges $129.99 for something similar. T-Mobile has an unlimited family plan for $149.95 but VZW has theirs for $199.99 and another $99.99 per phone line, T-Mobile charges $49.95 more per line.

  Verizon really needs to start lower prices and stop being the a-hole who is the last to change prices. I was considering staying with Verizon but after seeing the prices T-Mobile offers I’m seriously considering switching to T-Mobile or possibly MobiPCS which offers unlimited plans around $50 (lower if you want just voice). So seriously Verizon, you suck.

So very sad

I also seen this posted to Digg and it nearly crushed my heart, I feel this guy’s pain as I have kids around the same age as his. I personally detest alcohol and the people that abuse it then make a conscious choice to drive, these people make me want to take a baseball bat to their face then break their hands into as many pieces as possible. I wish Josh Jahn all the luck in the world and I hope his family is in a better place.
