So, I’ve tried a few different Twitter applications for my iPhone…and just recently, I came across one that I actually LOVE. It’s sort of weird.

It’s called TwitterFon…and it basically does everything I need it to…lists the Tweets from everyone I’m following…let’s me post pictures, let’s me see my replies…it pretty much kicks butt.

And it’s free.

Check it out…

And while we are on the subject of Twitter, Flor sent this little link to me that is effing hilarious…and sadly true. But I still LOL-ed. :)

I’m like a little kid…a nerdy little kid, but still a little kid.

Apple showed off it’s preview for the new version of iPhone’s OS, version 3.0, which is supposed to be coming out this summer.

Out of the 100 new features they announced, the top four are really the only ones I’ve been TOTALLY waiting for, as I’m sure many others have been too:

• Search your iPhone
• Cut, copy, and paste
• Send photos, contacts, audio files, and location via MMS
• Read and compose email and text messages in landscape

I’m SO excited I could do a little dance. :)

So I saw this funny video on Sarah Lane’s blog and I just had to share.

So this dude, Ely Kim, recorded 100 days, 100 different songs, 100 locations, and 100 dances.

This guy has got some moves…I’m a little jealous.

I came across this on the Stuff White People Like blog and I have to admit, I must be part white because I carry around one of these wherever I go. I can’t argue that they are over priced…and I feel important when I’m writing stuff down whilst sipping on my caramel macchiato…but they are good for keeping notes…

Mostly because they have paper in them.

Paper is such a cool invention, I’m not gonna lie. And even if you have to pay $20 for a bunch of it stuffed in between a cardboard cover, it’s worth it if you ever have to write stuff down.

Pens are cool too…but that’s an entirely different blog post.

So I’ve been reading Joy Williams’ blog lately, and it’s been great catching up on her life. She’s married now, writing music, and living life to it’s fullest…which we all definitely should try to do.

I don’t know…I’m in a weird place right now…and it was sort of inspiring to read the first part of her latest blog post. It made me realize how “security” can be false…how anything can be temporary and uncertain, no matter how permanent or certain they seem to be. And that it takes a little passion and determination to really achieve your dreams.

Okay, well, that last part is not really in there…but she totally touches on that. Passionate people live the lives they want to live.

I’m ultimately living the life I want to live…but I’m uncertain. Comes with the name “Aaron,” I suppose. Lately, I’ve been applying to jobs. JOBS. Real-life jobs. I’ve had one interview so far…and I’ve been filling out applications and sending out resumes like a mo-fo. Like a lot of people in the country (and after listening to President Obama’s press conference this afternoon), I know I’m not alone in the uncertainty. There are a lot of people that don’t know how they are going to pay their mortgage. Or put food on the table. Or buy their kids clothes. These are just facts of these dire and unfortunate times our country is facing in regard to the economy.

I’m reminded every day that I’m not rich. I cringe when I write my rent check. I spent the weekend rolling quarters, nickels, and dimes.

But I’m healthy, I’m happy, and I’m doing what I enjoy.

Sure, I can continue filling out job applications…and yeah, I could afford nicer things, nicer clothes, a better apartment, and maybe even a girlfriend if I had a “9-to-5.” But I don’t think I would be as happy. I think I just needed to hear that other people are in the same place I’m in. I need to realize that I’m not alone…and then continue to focus on what makes me happy and making it work. And most of all, I need to continue to believe in God’s faithfulness.

Word.

Okay, so this is sort of random…I spent the entire night outside. Yes, my friends…’tis true. It was pretty effing cold, but I bundled up. It was nice listening and watching the rain fall. I edited pictures, listened to podcasts, and had a grand old time. Now, I’m still not tired…so since I ran out of episodes of How I Met Your Mother, I moved on to Hulu.com and started watching random shows…one of which is this show called The Loop that was on a few years ago.

I had almost forgotten about that show…mostly because it was sort of lame. I’m not gonna lie. But it had a few funny moments…and hot chicks.

One of which was Lizzy, played by actress Sarah Wright. Damn, she was cute. :)

Or Amanda Loncar, who played Piper…

Even Joy Osmanski, who played the funky Asian secretary was hot. I think it was the glasses. :)

So yeah, there you have it. I’m going to continue watching random TV shows online now. maybe go grab breakfast in a bit. :)

One of my biggest fears is getting older. I’m not sure why…perhaps it’s the uncertainty of it all. But nevertheless…it happened today. I crossed over the twenty-something threshold.

I think for the first time in three decades, I actually felt older. Every year for the past 29 years, everyone has always asked, “So, do you feel older?” and I could always answer negatively. But today was not the case. I did feel older. I walked a little taller. It was strange.

I’m also continuously reminded how blessed I am. For one, I’m still alive. :) But I really have some wonderful friends. For instance, my best friend, Brian…who treated me to a weekend of debauchery in Sin City last weekend. ;) Or Ennis and Crystal, who took me out to dinner tonight with our young friend, Zack…who also shares my birthday with me. Well, a decade later, anyway. Then there was Heather…my beautiful, long-lost friend who shared some hot wings and beer with me this afternoon. And who could forget my grandma and dad…my rocks, if you will. Grandma made me her famous enchiladas (with help from my dad…) and both of them surprised me with wedding cake, which is my favorite kind of cake. Well, it wasn’t REALLY wedding cake…but it was close enough.

And then there were the countless others who dropped me notes, Myspace comments, emails, text messages, phone calls…

I am truly blessed.

There are some disadvantages to getting older…but I’m told the advantages totally outweigh them. My female friends assure me that this is only the beginning…that as a guy, I only get better with age. I’m not sure about that…but I do like wine and cheese…and being compared to them makes me feel pretty good about myself. But I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel some sort of disappointment for where I am. I mean, I feel great about my accomplishments…but I’m such a different place than where I would have pictured myself. But I guess that’s not necessarily a bad thing. And the fact that I don’t act my age? I guess that’s not a bad thing either…and I strutted around in my Chuck Taylor’s today to prove it.

I wish I could say something wise and profound about turning 30 today. But I think that whole wisdom thing doesn’t kick in for a few days or so. But what I can say about it is that despite my fears of getting older, my 30th birthday has come and gone and it was a pretty good day. And I guess turning 30 isn’t all that bad after all.

Let’s bring on another three decades and then I’ll let you know how I feel. :)

So, I’m not usually lazy during photo shoots…but I thought this little video that Ennis caught a few weeks ago was hilarious. Here, I can be seen sitting at the back of the studio, my feet up, giving a model direction.

Man, I look lazy! :)

I mean seriously, taking away Obama’s Blackberry??

You might as well kick me in the balls and then laugh at me.

Thanks to Brian for sharing this story with me…

Here’s a little video I shot this morning while mourning the death of my bookshelf.

Too many books, I suppose.
