I'm a Mac and You're a PC!

We get it by now everyone loves their respected brand but what I want to tackle today is the battle between the fans of these computer/operating systems. Why is there so much hatred towards Mac users and why do Mac users act like they are so above everyone else.

As a long time Microsoft fanboy I used to goof on Macheads and how they must love the smell of their own feces because it must better than a PC user's excrement. Then when I was recording music and my friend invited me over to use his Macbook to help record. To say the least I was blown away at the easy to use programs on it. Within the next couple of weeks I bought a Mac and I have been in love ever since.

Like most new Mac users I was eager to share this new godlike technology with the rest of the known universe. Quickly converting some of my friends and family to the light side of the computer world. I think many people mistake this for a kind of pompousness by Macheads and some of them it is probably the case. This is no need for the PCs to get upset and attack people for there love of a good product. The guy in the '92 Accord doesn't honk at a stoplight at a guy in a brand new BMW. Not all luxury car owners are arrogant pricks but some of them are thats life. Don't hate Apple and its products because some posh users hold their nose up at the coffee shop when you pull out your HP laptop while they are typing away, with ease, on their Macbook Pro.

And don't worry the PC isn't the odd man out so to all the users out their who feel like they are surrounded by showy fancy Macheads remember there is power in numbers as there are still 80 PC users to every Machead.

I just ain't one of them.

Now I don't know if I'll be able to do one a week but I sure will try. So stay tuned every Saturday I should post one. I know what you may be thinking, you're only 22 why do you need a bucket list? Well we are all not promised tomorrow and I want to make sure I make the most out of life. There are probably more that I will even add later but I think this will get me started. Plus if you read any self help book it will tell you that the first step in making your goals is to write it down. Maybe we all could use a little bucket list to keep us focus on what's important and that's not the debt we owe or the problems that we face but instead it's our happiness.

Until Next Time
