I'd say the biggest thing that's happened since the last post is that I decided to drive from Houston, TX back to Maryland.
I've been living with friends for a while now until I get back into UMBC to finish out my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. It was here I discovered the EPICNESS of maple BACON chips.
One day a few weeks ago, I decided to consolidate my guitar gear. I had so much I don't use taking up a lot of space in my room here. So I drove down to Guitar Center to make a trade. I pretty much got rid of everything except Ol' Blue and the acoustic I got for Christmas and a bass amp, and small guitar amp,
They did not give me nearly what I expected back, so I decided to basically use what they gave me back to get an AWESOME new Fender Telecaster.

I played every Telecaster they had from cheap to expensive and this one ripped it up on all facets of guitar playing. It has a really beautiful look and feel and nice range of tone.
While I was visiting here in January, I ordered a Djembe drum from x8drums.com. It's totally awesome. Love the look, the feel, and definitely the earthy tones.
I call it Butterscotch.

In other news, I've been kinda hating my AT&T iPhone 4 for months. So when I heard that T-Mobile is paying off Early Termination Fees for switching and trading in devices, I decided to jump on the offer. I drove to the local T-Mobile store and did just that. I traded in my iPhone 4 and got a black LG Google Nexus 5 with $60 down, and signed up for the $50 plan.
I get unlimited everything with a phone that mops the floor with my old one, and a better plan for half the price I was paying. Yeah. Then I upgraded to the Unlimited 4G plan and I'm STILL paying less, even with financing my device. Thanks T-Mobile! Bye AT&T, It's not me, it's you and your overpriced plans and phones.

I need a new dev laptop because my 2007 Presario A900 is about to literally fall apart.

It's been snowing and very cold and what not here. Even still, and it's March. It's so ridiculous, I "punched my car window out".
And that's pretty much all the Winter highlights. I'm back in Maryland, things are a lot different now than they were. Still on the track to get a life. One step at a time.
