Hey everyone. A couple of days ago, I said that my phone died and that I was getting a new one. It came in today, and it's a Samsung Intensity. It's a good phone despite some flaws and some issues in activation. Here is my story.
Since my old phone just lost it's screen capabilities and was otherwise undamaged, I was able to get my contacts transferred. It probably would have been a good idea to have backed them up when I was backing up everything else, but that didn't cross my mind, especially since the last time my phone died they were able to transfer my contacts. But unlike last time, my new phone came through FedEx instead of going to the Verizon store. My old phone charged via usb, but the charger that came with it wasn't an actual usb cord to the computer but instead plugged solely into the wall. Well my new phone also charges by the same usb size, but this time came with a cord that plugs into the usb port on a computer with a wall outlet adapter.
After my dad and I activated my new phone, we plugged it into our family lap top so we could possibly transfer data. It failed so we went to the Verizon store where we knew they would be able to transfer my contacts. We signed in at the sign-in terminal, played around with the display phones, I gave one of the sales associated my old phone and new phone, told him what I needed done, played with the display phones some more, then got my phone with all my contacts.
The phone is cool, and has good features. The only thing I'm going to miss is the video taking capability. Yes that's right, the Samsung intensity can't take video. While not a feature I use all the time, I did use the video camera on my old phone to take random Pokematic videos and other videos of my friends goofing off together. Oh well, I'll just take pictures then. Somehow I'll find a way to take random videos, just not with my phone.
I'm adjusting to my phone well. While I'm still getting used to the layout of my new keyboard, it's coming along well. Until next time.

My stupid phone
Hey world, here's a fml story. Ok, so my family is verizon, and we like to save money. Well, a few years ago we upgraded to texting and full keyboard. Great, except we get the cheapest full keyboard phone offered.
This is my second phone that decided it wanted to stop using it's display screen, my dad had one that decided it didn't want to work on the screen, and my mom's 4th phone that didn't want to respond properly. This is the worst phone verizon ever offered. Thankfully it's no longer made and I'm getting a new moddle friday-ish.
Through God's almighty grace I was given a window of opportunity of working so I can email all my files to myself. These are mainly videos and pictures, most of which are for blog posts and random Pokematics. I have just spent about the last hour sending video and picture messages to my email.
Wow what a way to spend an evening. I'll get the stuff up soon, hopefully. Laters.

I'm blind and bad
Hey everyone, today was great. Today I did a blindfold activity in Psychology and did a senior prank. I'll tell things in cronological order, starting with Psyc.
Last class we did an activity with blindfolds and peanuts. Today we did various activities around the school blindfolded. These activities were going up and down stairs, drinking from the drinking fountain, drawing and filling in a circle, typing psychology and our name on the computer, washing our hands, and walking through the hall way. We did this as partners, where one was blindfolded and the other soptted. Theceasyest thing was typing psychology ang my name since I practically type blind now. I made one error, and that was putting a "{" where I should have put a "p" in my typing of the word "psychology" so it read "{sychology." It was kinda funny, but not as bad as some people who were plain giberish. Hard deciding the hardest, since there were many equally hard. Circle seemed easy, with my circle only being slightly incompleat, but my shading was prety off. Stairs were kinda scary because it's a fall if I miss. I trusted my parter, but you try walking down stairs compleatly blind without being super familiar with the hall. Once I started going up or down, I wanted to keep going up or down once I finished. It was weird. The hardest thing of them all was leaving the bathroom after washing my hands. I literally got lost on the way out. I kept running into the walls and was aparently going around in circles. It was probably very funny to watch. It was hard spotting, because I had to be my partners eyes and comunicate everything I saw. Still fun activity.
Now for the really fun thing, my senior prank. Before anyone starts guessing, let me just say that it's simple and something me nor my friend will get in trouble for. My friend and fellow trombone player had the idea of taking this sign in the band room and putting it somewhere else in the school, or just taking it. Well not wating to get in trouble, he decided against it. I sugested, "well how about we flip it up side down?" He thought that was a great idea, now what about a screw driver? I forgot to mention that we came up with this plan about 2 weeks ago, so when conceved, we didn't have the screw driver nesacery for taking the sifn off and putting it back on up side down. Today I brought a screw driver, and we flipped it up side down. Here is a picture of our work.
Now you might be thinking, "that's lame." But we're both good kids,with reputations to uphold. We're both active members of students against destructive decisions, and we're not trouble makers, so we wanted to do something that was funny but won't get us in serious trouble. Fliping the sign will just get the band teacher or stage manager person to say "haha, funny guys, now flip it back." So far we've just gotten a "something seems different." It's funny. Well that was my funny day. Later.

Preview movies are cool
Hey everyone, Pokematic here with another my life is awesome story. I just got back from a preview screening of the new movie Hanna
. I would do a review but I don't have the necessary hours to make a Pokematic movie review at the time, so here's the story of my experience. For starters my girlfriends parents are awesome. My girlfriends dad got preview screening tickets from his work for Hanna. I saw it tonight, and it comes out officially tomorrow. Then her mom took us to the movie. Her mom got us a popcorn to share. Lots of butter and better yet, movie salt. Because it was a pre-screening, there were people checking purses for cameras and other recording devices. I felt kinda left out, or discriminated, or something because they didn't check my pockets. Now for any ordinary male human, there would be no need to check for recording devices in pockets because you wouldn't be able to conceal it well. But for me, I wear cargo pants, with bulging pockets full of various things like bouncy balls and plastic bags. I could hold probably 6 or 8 flip video cameras or point and shoot still cameras with video capability in them. I wouldn't because I believe in doing legal things, but I could. I guess it could be comparable to not being I.D.ed when your friend next to you was and you're the same age. Yeah it makes no sense, but neither do many thoughts that go through my mind. Anyways, so we go in and almost all the seats are taken except for those in the front 2 rows. Now being a movie lover, I go to the theater almost once a month, and I know how to find the perfect seat in the theater. It's almost always a couple of rows up, just slightly off center to the left. Being right eye dominant, I go left off center, but I would think that for someone who is left eye dominant, it would be slightly to the right. Being first row, it was a little bit of a neck strainer, but being Star Theater, they have seats that recline some, so not that bad of a neck strainer. I'm not sure how much I can legally tell you about the movie since it isn't out yet, so I won't tell you anything. The only thing I will tell you is that it is awesome, and that I highly recommend it to any fan of action movies. That's all I have to say for now. Go see Hanna.

April Fools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ha ha to who ever believed yesterday's post about be becoming discovered. I doubt many believed it, but I did fool my friend with the same type of prank only with his name. He clicked on a couple of links, and then texted be saying "you suck." I also got my girlfriend with it, but she was cooler about it. I used a site called swagbucks where you can search and win for virtual currency that you can redeem for cool prizes like amazon gift cards. Click on the image below to sign up right now. 
And on a related topic, anyone else see the jokes played by google, YouTube, and hulu? Google boasted a new product called "Gmail motion" where you do things similar to kinect to write and send emails. It was kinda funny. YouTube did this thing where there were videos from "1911." They were kinda funny since there were video's that parodied famous viral videos like keyboard kitty. It was all grainy and involved a cat "playing" a flugelhorm calling it "flugelhorn feline." And saving the best for last, there was hulu from "1996." That was my favorite. It had grany pictures, simple text, Netscape, dial-up modem connecting before videos, and news from 1996. I don't know about the things for YouTube and google, but hulu 1996 is still up on hulu. Funny day.
