Well that’s dumb, he should have just bought the Wilson.

(It’s a good thing you added the word "firearm" or I’d have no idea what you were talking about)

There’s some killer deals for Amazon Prime Day.
I’m very happy.

I'll be very happy if I get more of them next time. My 4k collection could use some more love.

I only got two 4k movies so far. I missed on a couple that I really wanted, but was gun shy too long.
I got 20% off a stylin set of headphones. I'm stoked about that!!!

I love my Powerbeats 2s, I just wish the cushions would stop falling off. Probably need to be a bit more careful with them when I'm taking them off. San Francisco will be my first full marathon without ear buds or headphones, expecting quite a bit of entertainment from the course anyway.

Heh I have a co-worker who just won't stop talking to me even though I don't verbally respond at least 90% of the time. She asked me if I wanted to go to a work potluck on Friday and I shook my head no. Then she asked me why I'm so angry all the time. I'm not angry lady, I'm just fed up with my job and all the lazy people there. Oh and I don't like her, she's pretty worthless.

These ones got a great review at avs:

But the Powerbeats 3 look good as well.
If you want to hang onto your 2's a bit longer, get some new cushions from amazon. I've done that twice with my V-Moda's so far.

What the hell is wrong with Georgia? A package originally expected to be delivered today, now says expected delivery for tomorrow because it sat on a shelf for 3 days in Georgia. Took a day to go from Alabama to Georgia, then 3 whole days to depart Georgia after it arrived. After it finally left Georgia and arrived in North Carolina, it only took 4 hours to get from there to Virginia.

So what's up with Georgia being so damn slow? Sitting on a shelf for 3 days before you decide to ship it off to the next state.

UPS should just avoid Georgia entirely and find another route.*

*Obviously, if you're delivering to Georgia, then visit it. But if you're not, bypass it.

I see on the news that Amazon's Prime Day crashed their website and people were getting frustrated. I had to press that "try again" button a couple of times, but it wasn't anything to freak about, like the tweets I'm seeing.
I'm happy the site didn't crash while I went for a main purchase.

It was pretty glitchy for me yesterday, makes me glad I was finally able to get my items into the cart and check out. The whole thing about online shopping is it's supposed to be quick and convenient.

I ended up getting some headphones, a jewelry and four 4k movies.
Are you good with what you got?

I would've been happier with more 4ks but I did get some personal favourites at a discount so I'm good. Hoping next year I can get better stuff like maybe a TV or racing shoes or maybe another pair of Beats.

I came across an old expired Learner's Permit ID card and nearly cut it in two to throw it away but hesitated. Any reason to hang on to this stuff besides nostalgia?
