I woke up from a bad dream. It's one I've had before and I hate it. It's one of those recurring dreams. A quick search revealed that they are caused by unresolved issues in life. I have loads of those so it makes sense. But I still hate them.
So I wake up at 5, do the search, go back to sleep then my first alarm goes off at 7.30 and I turn it off and went back to sleep knowing that the second one will go off at 8 and then I'll get ready for church. The second one never goes off and I overslept. I overslept and woke up to the sound of Galvin calling from outside my house. I'm late. I've not had a shower, and I'm supposed to be serving this morning. And since I'm the first to be picked up, everyone else is late.
Same thing happened yesterday, I went for Badminton, came back got into the shower and he's there. And I was late again and had to apologise. It seems like something minor but I hate being late, and I hate making people wait for me. I just hate it. And I've felt lousy the whole day because of that. And it's all that stupid phone's fault. Why didn't the alarm go off?
Well turns out the night before I was texting a lot and I set the keyboard to make sounds and for some reason it stopped because I have such a crappy phone running a sub par OS. It stopped last night and I think that's why there was no sound this morning. Normally these little annoyances don't get to me. I can tolerate them but when they all come at once then there's trouble.
So at lunch I was trying out this new app I found in the play store, the name escapes me now but it's a photography app. You take a picture and send to a random person and you get a picture from a random person in return. It sounded interesting so I tried it. Launched the app, tried to take a picture and could only view part of the picture in preview mode. It's like the viewfinder was blocked and only a tiny sliver was exposed and I couldn't see what I was taking a picture of. I've noticed this previously with instagram but didn't think too much about it but today with this app and the stupid alarm not going off I decided to fix the problem.
So got home, did some googling and either no one else has this problem or I don't know how to google for things. I couldn't find a solution so I decided to do a factory reset. A factory reset is a pain because you have to install every app all over again. And most apps require username and passwords and mine are super long and random. It's a nightmare. But would be worth it if it fixes the camera issue but it doesn't. So I decided to re-download the firmware and I've not tried it yet because all the apps are still downloading but I doubt it works. The reset deletes all my recent photos. They're gone forever. Only those I posted to instagram lives. It's times like these I really hate technology. I was happy with my N82 and it took several purchases to get to the phone I could actually use and not be frustrated by and now I have to do the same for smartphones.
More.
I feel like Lincoln in the movie 'the island'. I wished there was more than just waiting to go to the Island. I want more out of life than what I have now. There's nothing exciting to look forward to, there seems to be no progress, just a stalemate and it stinks. I don't like it. I want more. I want a challenge, I need some excitement in my life. I'm not even 30 and I'm having a mid-life crisis.
-ONWARD!
