3:32 AM
Sitting at my desk, starring at the ipad dock, waiting, wishing. I close my eyes and take in the sound of rain spattering on my window panes, as I bite my lower lip I can feel the whiskers forming under my lip line and a realization sets in that I have been neglecting general hygiene for days now. A crack of thunder causes the fine china in the cabinet to rattle, my eyes fly open and I jerk in time to see a rolling flash of thunder streak across the sky. I let out a deep sigh that pushes its way passed my gritted teeth. Looking to my computer screen in the corner of my dark, stuffy, room I hit the page refresh button on the apple ipad preorder page only to see the now to familiar and furryating “delivery date: late April†status.
Realizing that life is to short to live for a sleek, streamlined, sexy, aluminum shrouded and glass finished electronic device I decide to do what any responsible grown man should do when faced with grave disappointment; I load a round in the chamber of my hand gun, grip the cold steel hammer with my thumb and draw it back till I hear the ever so distinctive click. I close my eyes, aim the gun, breath in, a tear rolls down my cheek… BAM……….
I shoot my windows PC straight through the CPU. I know it did nothing wrong, but strangely I feel the world is a better place. At least I won’t stay up till 3:00AM checking the status any more.
