Mac > Depleted Uranium Armor
This Christmas went by swimmingly. My mother came to NYC to visit with Shelly and I. We had a lovely time opening gifts with my brother and mom on Christmas morning. All the gifts were wonderful.
The end of this year brought something new into my life. A MacPro and MacBook Pro. I suppose 'Pro' is in there to denote professional, i.e. these were not frivolous purchases rather something I intend to make money from. I have to say though, they are bad-ass.

I had worried that our meager 15 amps of apartment power might not be able to sustain the 'peak' 12 amp pull of the new Quad-core MacPro with things like, oh the refrigerator and a few light bulbs filling in the remaining 3 amps. However even with my Mac Mini running and other various appliances I am quite surprised it hasn't given me any problems yet. Nothing says raw processing power like needing to unplug your TV, A/C , curling iron, microwave, and George Foreman grill before you press that power button. RAWR!
Rushing to purchase not one but two computers at the most expensive time of year doesn't exactly make sense to most people, especially me. However when the option to spend what savings I have in order to keep it away from debt ridden, trigger happy, torturing, murdering 'defenders' of our great nation arises, I remind myself of the fact that the government is there whether we like it or not. We are better off with them than without, in this unfortunate case. However I, as a tax paying self-employed American citizen have the power of choice in this free nation to either give the government enough money to buy four feet (one quarter) of the 120 mm M256 smooth bore barrel on an M1A1 Abrams tank or buy not one, but two brand new, top of the line Apple computers for myself and the fashion photography industry.
I still have to pay taxes but luckily it's only enough for the government to buy a single square inch of steel-encased depleted uranium armor for the M1A1 tank. Either way as my fiancé has taught me its our ability to accessorize (ourselves and our tanks) that separates us from the animals. I'd rather my money go towards depleted uranium armor than main armament anyways.

Take that Mr. Bush.
Ho Ho Holy Crap!
