Google Glass: Update…

So I was able to purchase my Google Glass: Explorer Edition the other day…

However… I had to turn it down.  As much as I would like to have this… the cost was what turned me away.  I didn’t mind saving up the $1600 to get this product.  I didn’t mind saving up the $1600 to be a beta tester of this product.  The money for the product, at first, didn’t really mean much to me.  What bothered me was going to get the Google Glass…

Google expected me to fly out to California or to New York.  Paying for the Glass was already going to cost a leg… and then paying for the airfare, back and forth, to pick them up was going to cost me an arm.  Just airfare, alone, was going to run me around $600.  That would be ON TOP of the cost of the Google Glass.  This just started to look like a very very expensive beta project.

I was hoping Google would of included the pickup fee at no extra cost, and/or would have had the option to ship this to me.  Unfortunately, I didn’t get either.

So instead of helping Google beta test Project Glass… I will have to wait til these are available to the public in a year or two.  Instead… I used the money to purchase a new, much needed, laptop.

To all the folks that will have the Explorer Editions, I envy you and will be jealous.  I am sad that I passed on this opportunity; however, the cost could not be justified.

A Glimpse Into My Life… Pt. X

“They say… we learn from mistakes,
That’s why they mistake me.”

I am a true example of a book,
that cannot be read by the cover.
First impressions mean more than you know,
but my first impressions are not what win me over.

It takes time,
Read the pages, the chapters, the lines,
Inhale them like the air you breath,
That is when I win over the minds.

My life consist of many hills,
I’ve climbed so much you’d think,
I would be in the best shape of my life.
But because of my journey,
I’ve been through situations,
That have scared me for life.

I become lonely and bored,
That, at times, I’m not sure why I’m alive,
Never had a suicide thought come to mind,
But my mind has had thoughts of suicide.

Stuck in this World…
No one can hear my screaming and shouting,
I have my fist banging on the wall,
But the noise doesn’t amount to nothing
To get the attention I’m trying to seek
The warnings I’m giving must be weak.

I need to become tough,
How’d I even become this way?
Mind is being challenged,
Can I get out of this place?

At times, I feel my BS is catching up to me,
Maybe I should just tell the truth,
Tell the people how I really am,
Tell the people how I really feel,

Make a blog that spills my guts.
In a World full of fear…,
Truth is what I’d rather live,
Than run from the fear.

Life IS as cracked up as it is to be,
Life full of smiles,
Is a life that will last for miles,
I don’t need to worry about filling up,
Cause when “life” runs out,
That’ll be my time to be called back “up”.

So while I’m still on this planet,
My goal is to not take it for granted…
I’m going to make each step amount,
Make each moment count…

Or what is the point in the first place…

 

To Be Continued…
