I got rid of my Sidekick II a few months back and had just been winging it. I started to miss my old SKII so I set out to find another one cheap to pick up. Well one night, while surfing eBay, I saw a Blackberry 7100t going for a pretty low price. I figured what the heck, can’t hurt to bid on it.
I put up a max bid of $120, figuring I would be outbid and thought nothing of it. Well to my surprise I woke up the next morning to find a winning bidder e-mail in my inbox and a winning bid price of $116! Sweet!!!
So I finally go the thing and was fully set on putting it back on eBay and continuing my search for a SKII…but over the past weekend I have fallen in love with the damn thing.
It does EVERYTHING I want it to…and surfs the web so much faster than the SKII its ridiculous. I found a free AIM application and got that working yesterday. The built-in IM apps work great, but they use your text messages and I only have 400 a month. Ramble IM works off the data ports so no text messages are used and it works just like AIM is supposed to.
I spent last night downloading a bunch of themes and apps to make it what i want it to be…and it actually has become just that.
Hell, at this rate I will probably upgrade to the 8700t when it is released in April.
And I really can’t beat $20 a month for unlimited data…hell, the SKII would cost me $30 a month and does a helluva lot less.

So, for as much as I hate Kasier there is one aspect of their version of socialized health care that I love…the have some of the best “experts” going.
So when I was diagnosed with Diabetes, I was instructed to go to a class called Managing Your Diaetes that they offer. I was looking forward to it because I had no clue what was going on and all that jazz.
So today I went to the first class and walked away feeling wonderful. They dispelled so many myths and crap that has been thrown at me in the past few weeks that I felt like a weight had been lifted off me.
It’s not the sugar, but the carbs. It’s not what you eat, but how much. And the kicker for me is that…I am not eating enough! Instead of cutting back on foods I need to be eating more.
But the best thing to come from this session was that I can still eat all the stuff I like and love…like Taco Bell Mexican Pizza Combos (a #4 combo for those who don’t know) . I can enjoy Woody’s Wings and know that their 15 wing lunch special fits right into my allowed carbs per meal.
Yeah, I am pretty much loving it right now…I can finally relax and not spend hours on end trying to figure out what I can eat.
I enjoyed some very yummy Good Times Orangesicle Custard this evening…it was like heaven in my mouth 
So, you know how when you are told you can’t have something it becomes the only thing you want in the world? Yeah, me and sugar are engaged in a civil war…but me thinks I just may win this one.
I was introduced to the sugar-free candy and ice cream aisles at Wal-Mart. Found something I thought I could deal with in both aisles and went on my merry way.
Well I finally decided to try my Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom Vanilla Sundae Cone (a drumstick for those who don’t know). I can not tell the difference between it and a regular sugar loaded cone! Damn thing is yummy as all get out.
I may have to buy these from now on for everyone since I can’t seem to keep others from eating my “diabetical” food.
I also gave some sugar-free red vines a test drive. Meh. They were OK, but nothing to jump up and down about. But I think my brain was fooled enough by the texture to think it was getting the good stuff…cause my candy crush seems to be easing up.
Something strange happened to me today…I was doing my usual surfing around of news sites and found myself reading all the Spring Training baseball stories…and I actually got a bit excited.
I am not some huge baseball fan, I enjoy going to games, but it’s more for the food and drinks…and the time spent with friends. But today I realized I was getting excited because I want to watch some baseball.
I don’t even like the Colorado Rockies, but I sure as heck am ready to go sit in Coors Field and enjoy me a Rocky Dog. Unfortuntely since the diabetes diagnosis, I can’t down 3 Rockarita’s with it…but I am sure I will find something to take it’s place.
Bring on the Boys of Summer!
