Log #21: Please Don´t Run A Third Time

While my fiance and I were on the Amtrak train from New York City to Raleigh, NC, there was a tiny moment where I was slightly annoyed to the second degree.

I was already annoyed because of one thing. The train ride was already delayed over two situations. The first one was because they had to change the motor on the train. After all, you´re driving a train where the last stop is in Florida. I and my partner were coming from New York City to Raleigh, NC. I´m not surprised that they had to change the motor and stuff. The other problem was that there was almost a half-hour delay in a particular city that caused a major problem for us, for we expected to arrive at a specific time.

The one thing I got annoyed with was this one particular employee. He was pacing back and forth twice. I was very confused as to why is this guy packing back and forth. I was awake during the entire ride from 11am to 9pm. I didn´t go to sleep the night before due to nervousness. So you can imagine that my body and mind were going into overdrive in regards to keeping me sane.

I told my boyfriend ¨If he runs over for the third time, I´m going to be instantly annoyed.¨

I hate jinxing myself.

He ran for the third time and I was ready to jump out of my chair and punch that employee in the face. It was too dang late for that bull crap.

Log #20: It's The Earbud Apocalypse

We all follow trends. It happens every decade. You can help but to join the crowd when something becomes incredibly popular. Before you know it, you just joined the assembly and now blended in with everyone. You do have the right to remix it whenever you want to, but in the end, you joined the trend. There is one trend happening right now and it became so popular, it looks like a technology cult.

I´m talking about earbuds.

I´m sure we have all experienced this at least once in our lives. You´re walking down the street minding your own business. When all of a sudden there is a person standing right next to you asking questions. Due to the fact that people are used to seeing people talking on their cell phones with their devices. It doesn´t take you until a few seconds later that you realize that they´re not talking to you. They´re talking to someone on their cell phone using the earbuds that is in their ears.

Another day of embarrassment and you weren´t expecting this.

I say all of this to say that it´s quite hysterical how this new innovative technology is taking over the world. You no longer need to worry about wires and stuff causing madness to your ears or your body. Earbuds have become simple. At the same time, it´s taking over our lives in a good way. It´s an earbud apocalypse.
