Have computer. Will create.
wow. so, two days ago I was given a gift of a MacBook Pro. the short story, my brother had told me that he was inheriting an older MacBook Pro, and so, I could have his black MacBook.
for me, this was great. I've been YEARS without a reliable computer, and suffering daily. I mean, I had access to machines here and there, but nothing that was mine, and nothing that I could reliably write into. (cause, hey, I'm a screenwriter and I've gotta express!) of course that also meant no work of the advanced, graphical or video kind either. face it, PCs don't have what Macs are born with: video, graphics, photos, devices, all with ease and the intuitive ability to work with elegance.
so I was finally gonna get "the Vader-book." (that's what people call the 13 inch black MacBook.) I was excited and planning for the day. as I said, I've been unable to write. unable to work. and as a result, I've been bubbling and boiling with ideas. BRIMMING. it's hard and I've been trying to anything I can to keep myself sane -- I've been writing some stuff down, notes here and there, but it's been more painful than anything else, because I feel I can't really organize them the right way.
well, long story short, (and the day after election of PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!!!) my brother calls me and says he's on his way over to bring it to me. he said that he's gotten it looked at by Apple and that it should be in great shape. I was thrilled and anxious.
when he arrived and handed me a bag, it contained a box that was gift wrapped in a fine paper. I thought, "this is really nice, he's taking this kind of care to give me this computer... mainly because he knows how special this is to me... I can't wait."
when I opened it... I was SHOCKED. seriously. I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing.
A brand new, 15 inch, aluminum unibody, 2.53 Intel dual-core, MacBook Pro!!!
for me.
I. was. blown. away.
I still am. but I'm getting over it. (smile.) actually, I'll probably never get over this. but I'll try. I'm gonna work. write. create. and work some more. I can't wait. something for me. something nice. something that I needed and something that EXCEEEDED my expectations. this is lightyears better than the VaderBook (no offense). and like my MacTech friend said, "this was definitely the one worth waiting for."
I'm gonna try to write more here about this -- but for now, let it be known I have it and I am SO SO SOOO GRATEFUL!
now the work begins...
