The real game-changer is firmware 2.0 and luckily, all iPhone users will be able to use it. The AppStore is going to completely change the iPhone experience more so than 3G and GPS will because our personal needs will be met by varying apps. Not everyone needs 3G and GPS, but everyone will find a need for different third party apps. I’m not saying that I’ll NEVER buy an iPhone 3G. I think it’s a GREAT deal for those who don’t currently have iPhones and need 3G & GPS in their daily lives. Just don’t expect me to be in line with you guys come July 11th.

How do I get closer to you
When you keep it all on mute
How will I know the right way to love you

Usually the Queen of figurin out
Breaking down a man is no work out
But I have no clue
How to get through to you

I wanna hit you just to see if you cry
I keep knockin’ on wood, hopin there’s a real boy inside

But you’re not a man
You’re just a Mannequin
I wish you could feel that my love is real
But you’re not a man

I wish I could just turn you on
Put a battery in and make you talk
Even pull a string for you to say anything

But with you there is no guarantee
Only expired warranty
A bunch of broken parts
And I can’t seem to find your heart

You’re so sad maybe you should buy a happy meal
You’re so skinny you should really Super Size the deal
Secretly you’re so amused
That nobody understands you
I’m so mean cause I cannot get you outta your head
I’m so angry cause you’d rather MySpace instead
I can’t believe I fell in love with someone that wears more makeup than…

“Males with HPD usually present problems of identity crisis, disturbed relationships, and lack of impulse control. They have antisocial tendencies and are inclined to exploit physical symptoms as a method of false control. These men are emotionally immature (although they tend to believe the exact opposite), dramatic (although many are adept at covering it up), and shallow (although they tend to believe their feelings are so deep that no other single person could ever understand). Men with HPD tend to be very introspective and create a false sense of reality effectively convincing themselves of whatever they need to believe in order to remain emotionally unattached from anything/anyone. HPD males with antisocial tendencies shift between periods of isolation and those of extreme social conquest (each shift can last a matter of days to periods lasting several years). They may require isolated retreats in order to obtain a comfortable level of understanding and acceptable functioning. HPD antisocial males are dependent upon no one in particular but crave that others are dependent upon them. Although males often have chameleon-like social skills (similar to HPD females), they tend to have trouble keeping lengthy friendships afloat as their paranoia (real and imagined) may eventually lead to a near complete and permanent disposal of all interpersonal relationships at a given time effectively eliminating any emotional responsibility and accountability for their manipulative ways. They tend to genuinely search for intimacy (many believe in “the one”) while remaining unable to regulate their perceived level of intimacy for any given interpersonal relationship making it very difficult to build anything other than turbulent relations. Males with HPD may believe in the supernatural such as fortune telling or mind reading including the belief that there are many hidden messages and notions in public works that are specifically meant for them. When HPD antisocial males believe they are being manipulated they may morph into sociopathic relations with their perceived enemies yet remain overly loyal to perceived friends. HPD men are often times intensely driven by their quest to conquer life despite having no real sense of direction or control resulting in frequent changes of overly passionate interests. [2] Both men and women with HPD engage in disinhibited behavior such as promiscuity and substance abuse.[3]”

- Is it just me or does it sound like this entry was written by a scorned woman? Of course, that’s probably just me convincing myself of whatever I need to believe in order to remain emotionally unattached from anything/anyone. ;-)
