Just a clip from "The Princess Bride" to start us off. In your opinion, how long should a couple wait before getting married? A lot of people I know have recently gotten engaged or had children (I'm almost 21) that I've gone to school with. I know that it depends on the couple, but in some situations it seems like a downright bad idea. There is such a thing as "too soon".

Do you think that you should pass the honeymoon period (the first 6 months) before considering a serious step like an engagement? I do. I don't think that you should marry anyone that you don't know completely. That doesn't mean you know their favorite color and what food they like. It means that you know EVERY side of them, good/grumpy/sad/mad/kind/silly/etc.

"Look, in my opinion the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what-have-you. The right person is still going to think the sun shines out of your ***. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with." - Juno (2007)

Getting married under age 22. Not promising.
Being a virgin. Ehh, your choice.
Babies asap. About $250,000 per child.
Knowing your fiance for less than a year. Bad decision.
Conclusion, the Magic 8 ball says "Outlook not so good".

"I need love, love. To ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine. But mama said
You can't hurry love. No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy. It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love. No, you just have to wait
You got to trust, give it time. No matter how long it takes"
- Diana Ross

This IS the Droid you're looking for

Alright, alright. I couldn't resist naming it something straight out of Star Wars, my inner geek wanted out on that one thing. But then I thought "hey, why not let the inner geek out for a bit for this blog?" And so, I did.

Oh Apple, how I love your MacBook Pro that I use, but I'm not an iPhone user. Though I may know a few people who have them, I don't really ever want an iPhone. Something I do want? The Motorolla DROID.

This thing is badass. Who wants an iPhone when you can have a DROID? This thing is ridiculous. My brother skipped into the room like a little kid on Christmas to show me the online video of it on engadget.com, which I suggest you watch to get a better understanding of how this phone works. But wait, you need to have Verizon. Sorry, ATT but your service sucks and you have the iPhone anyways. Sprint won't be getting this gem either, since they have every Blackberry ever made.

First off, this phone has the ability to do quite a few things that the iPhone can not. This is illustrated in the following commercial:



Fortunately the DROID can do all of these things. Impressive, yes? Quick summary!

DROID
1. Full QWERTY keyboard
2. Touchscreen front
3. Works as a GPS in the car
4. Shifts to an media center when docked----music, alarm clock
5. Runs multiple widget at the same time



I know that this Christmas will be a cheaper Christmas than most being that our economic climate is currently down. But the DROID offers a break from most expensive gifts during the holiday season. The DROID will be $199 with contract (likely to be a 2yr agreement like most Verizon plans), not bad. I expected a higher pricetag for this phone, thankfully I was surprised.

DROID goes on sale via Verizon online + Verizon store on November 6th 2009. Check it out now on engagdet.com: http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/motorola-droid-first-hands-on/
