Jordan McDonald’s Living on the edge:The iPhone – Revolutionary, yes. Legendary, yes. Innovative, no.

Written by Jordan McDonald, The Eagle Senior Columnist

Disclaimer: (for anyone who is easily offended) – This isn’t a reflection on Apple or Steve Jobs. That is all.

 As if America didn’t already have enough obsessions, the new iPhone had to come along and add insult to injury. Call me old-fashioned, but I don’t get it. What’s so great about it? It’s just a cell phone – not the hand of God. People think it has magical powers and will solve all their problems. In this day in age, you’d think they’d be more realistic. I never really liked any of the iPhones because they were no different from any other smartphone. They could quite possibly be worse in many ways, physically anyways. It doesn’t flip, it doesn’t slide. It’s boring. The same can be said for the iPad. It’s just like the iPhone, and the iPhone is just like everything else. I’ll take the Droid any day. It’s the better choice, obviously. I mean, seriously – this country has all the wrong priorities.

Poetry Corner: Pretty Little Liar

Written by Name withheld by request

 

You think that you know me

You think that I’m nice

You say that I can’t hurt a fly

But be aware, I bite

 

Stay off of my nerves

Don’t even take a chance

Before we even start to talk

It will be a bad romance

 

You think that I’m an angel

It’s me that you desire

But believe me when I tell you

I’m a pretty little liar
