the snake and the mongoose
The mongoose the hunter and the snake his prey
The snake is venomous, deadly to the mongoose
A writhing wrestling match, one will emerge the Victor, the other will not survive,
And yet one cannot exist without the other
This struggle is endless, for it is only a matter of time before they meet again.

I'm updating.
Are you happy, dear reader?
I vlog more often than i used to and that's filled the spot of what this blog used to be. that can be found at http://www.youtube.com/goldkear
what has been going on in my life? not very much to be honest. I'm now working as a server, since part time work allows me to have free time while still doing school. school this semester sucks, all my classes are awful, well one is awful and the others are tolerable. Aside from that my life has been the usual... playing video games, drinking from time to time, and rocking the liz lemon lonely-chic thing.
Strandberg out!

CTIA
Instead of writing a bazillion tweets like I have been, I'm just going to blog my various thoughts on what is going on at CTIA. I've been watching it closely waiting for an announcement from verizon regarding the nexus one (so help me god if I have to wait longer for it). while there have been some really awesome phones announced(nexus one is no longer the top phone on the market) I don't think there is any arguing that android is dominating the show so far.
- First we had the Samsung galaxy S. If were available now I might think about buying it, even though it looks like an ugly iphone. its screen is gorgeous and it seems really snappy and sharp. Though I prefer vanilla android (i have yet to see a different ui that i like more) it is only slightly changed and seems pretty cool.
- Sprint's 4g phone, the HTC evo 4G. this is a marvel of technology, from a pure specification point of view, there isn't any phone that can compete. The problem: It looks like an HTC phone. While the nexus one is built by HTC it wasn't designed by them and looks sexy, I just don't like HTC's aesthetic. also I wonder if sprint's 4G network will have the dreamcast effect. cool now, but doesn't match up when the big kids come out to play later (in this metaphor I would compare nintendo to verizon and sony to AT&T) Time will tell i suppose.
- Windows phone 7 series (or something like that... why can't it just be wimo7?) Looks really awesome, and If i weren't impatient to get a new phone I might wait till this comes out. Seems more geared to the casual user, I imagine the business user being turned off by the whimsical UI. I'm really excited to see actual devices with it. Maybe microsoft will release an official one? the Zune phone?
- Verizon announced some cool new tech that I won't use. one that allows you to pay for stuff with your cellphone, and mobile skype. I don't really get skype, so I can't say that I care about that, and the payment by cellphone seems a little.... unsecured... what if you leave your phone sitting on the grocery store counter? Neither tech caught my attention though so my opinion are totally based on tweets.
There's still an hour and a half left of the show, but i'm surprised to not hear about the nexus one on verizon yet. Some awesome devices announced though. I really think this dominance of android means the iphone has lost its status as the "it" phone, if it hasn't lost it already. of course, I love bashing apple, so I might be a little biased, but they have to do a major hardware update if they want to keep up.

A light exists in spring by Emily Dickinson
A light exists in spring
Not present on the year
At any other period.
When March is scarcely here
A color stands abroad
On solitary hills
That science cannot overtake,
But human naturefeels.
It waits upon the lawn;
It shows the furthest tree
Upon the furthest slope we know;
It almost speaks to me.
Then, as horizons step,
Or noons report away,
Without the formula of sound,
It passes, and we stay:
A quality of loss
Affecting our content,
As trade had suddenly encroached
Upon a sacrament.

A new post, just because.
Sometimes I feel like making a new blog post just because I haven't made one in a while. since my last REAL post was almost 3 months ago, I'm long over due. I don't really have a lot to write about, so its going to be short, and in the form of a list. Here's whats going on in my life:
- Awesome video games are pretty much coming out every week right now, and its terrible since I don't have the budget for it, or the time really. I've been trying to play heavy rain but I just haven't had a lot of time to do it. I won't be getting Final Fantasy XIII until the 19th but expect me to vanish for a few weeks after that date.
- My taxes are finally done. I had to pay 12 dollars just to get one of my W2s, but it was worth it because my return is WAY bigger than I thought it would be. Unfortunately its all going to be used to pay off credit cards.
- Been seeing someone. Its definitely an opposites attract sort of situation because we have nothing in common and yet can hold conversations effortlessly. Not sure where its going yet, but so far I could really see myself spending lots of time with him, so we'll see.
- Despite the fact that I hate my 3d design class, my 3d design class loves me, so as long as I keep "thinking outside the box" I should be able to keep turning out crap and talking my way into an A. Drawing class, not so much.
Thats about it, twitter is blowing up with oscars stuff and I don't care. Going to play some heavy rain now.

Forget me - BT
I'll give to you if you give to me
I always want to hear what's on your mind
And from the other side, can you still answer me
'Cause we'll crave to be understood...yeah
And what I want to say
And what I need to hear
And what I want to feel
Is in those arms
And I'll sing to you if you sing to me
Because I long to hear what's on your heart...yeah
Forget me
I'm tired and wasted
Hopeless and faded
Listless and jaded
Forget me
I'm tired of waiting
I'm still underrated
I'm hopeful but jaded
But just remember
This is a beautiful mistake
I really need you
As our silence starts to break
It's already a fire
Created in all the walls we reached
And I don't know what you want me to be
But I don't want to be perfect anymore
I'll share with you if you share with me
I always want to hear what's on your mind
And from the other side, can you still answer me?
Because I live to speak what's on my heart...yeah
Forget me
I'm tired and wasted
Listless and jaded
Hopeless and faded
Forget me
I'm tired of waiting
Still underrated
But I'm finally awake
Let us remember
Life's such a beautiful mistake
It's precious and fragile
Sometimes more than we can take
It's already a fire
Created in all things men create
And I don't know what you want from me
But I don't want to be perfect anymore
Let us remember
Life's such a beautiful mistake
It's precious and fragile
Sometimes more than we can take
It's stronger than fire
Created in all the walls we reach
Letting go of fault and blame
'Cause I don't want to be perfect anymore
Yeah, I don't want to be perfect anymore
And you don't have to be perfect anymore
But your love, your love, your love, your love
Is perfect just the same
