well, i got an iPad

during the course of these next few sentences and those from the batch before, something phenomenal has entered my life. no, it's not a girl, and no it's not a dude. romance cloaked in the form of a sheek metallic 9.50 x 7.31 inch bundle has broken the walls of my cold heart. yes, the iPad and i are now official. for a moment there 2011 was looking bleak. but not so, i mean i did get the chance to travel quite extensively so i can't really complain...still, something was missing.
it was during one of these travels, while trying to find comfort inside a boeing 747, that my life changed. a young man seated an isle seat in front of me reached into his backpack and pulled out his iPad.
at first, the shiny looking thing didn't interest me much, so i dozed off. when i woke, the dude had himself another shiny looking thing on his tray table. it wasn't until a few minutes that i realized he was holding the exact same iPad.
plopped open was the iPad laying panoramically on this keyboard that acted as the mount; i could not contain myself. so much so that my arm jerked outwardly towards the dude with the pad. he quickly turned and out spewed my questions about the device. a few weeks went by.
i thought i could shake it off, but i couldn't. at work, on the streets, in my dreams, it was there; taunting me.
well, i finally got one. and it's great. we traveled for the first time last week to boston and we had a great time. i also had a good time with my friends, andy and joe. hopefully i'll be writing a bit more with this thing; i go on these dryspells and i do not like it.

i also just realized my complete disregard for cuba from the last post...umm i'm sorry. i will say this; cuba is a place for those who are looking to be surprised. and surprise is truly around each corner. from the kids playing in the middle of the streets, to the immigration officers interogating your origins, to that floating bottle of rum being offered to you by a smiling cuban on the beach, the island of cuba is for those who have no inhibitions about politics, race, and religion. all of that goes out the window when you land
