5 Facts About Cockroaches
Ew, soooo I was #1ing in the bathroom at work, which is this time 2x2 little bathroom/closet. So whatever. I am urinating when suddenly I see this guy:
Needless to say, I got my gay on, and freaked out and screamed like a little girl. I'm usually totally cool with bugs, so I am curious as to why this particular cockroach scared me so bad.
I ended up doing a bit of research, and here's 5 interesting facts I've learned about cockroaches that you may not have known:
1) German cockroaches carry their eggs with them on their backs. This is why you shouldn't stomp on a cockroach since the eggs might get on your foot and you could track them with you to various places you frequent. Ew.
2) Cockroaches bleed WHITE blood. Ew.
3) A cockroach has 6 legs but AT LEAST 18 knees. Ew.
4) A cockroach can survive a week without its head. The only reason it even dies then is because it can't consume any water without a head so it dies of thirst. Ew.
5) Cockroaches routinely shed their skin. Such cockroaches appear albino, as they are white with black eyes. They will regrow their shell after about 8 hours. Ew.
Cockroaches.
Ew.

10 Things I Don't Need Anymore Because I Have My iPhone
I love my iPhone. Like... a lot.
His name is Ivanoff. He is gorgeous, and one of the 1st gen iPhones. He may not have 3G or GPS, but I love him anyway.
He looks sort of like this.
Ivanoff cost 500 dollars, but it's ok, because he was the best purchase I've ever made. If you don't believe, the following is a list of things I don't need anymore, because i have an iPhone. I've had him for about a year now, and he's even MORE useful now than he was when I first got him, and can't imagine being without.
1) MP3 Player. Duh. My iPhone plays music. Because of this, I no longer needs my iPod Nano. And the iPhone is the best iPod I've ever had! The interface is so easy, I find using the old click wheel iPods a pain. Touch screen, FTW!
2) Alarm Clock. My iPhone is an alarm clock. It is loud, and efficient. It always goes off. if the power goes out, the iPhone's battery means the alarm will not reset. More often than not I use it as a backup alarm, but on many occasions, when staying somewhere other than my house, I use it as the primary alarm clock. Yea, it's amazing.
3) Watch. Who needs a watch when a single click tells me the time. Easy peasy.
4) Digital camera. Cell phones are notoriously bad cameras. The iPhone can take a pretty good picture, but there's no flash and if the object is moving it can sometimes be very difficult to catch a good shot. So why is it a digital camera replacement. First off, carrying a camera around is a nuisance. I travel by public transport, so I like to carry as little as possible, and if I don't need to use a bag or anything, I'm a happy guy. Secondly, unlike other cellphones, the pictures on my phone EASILY sync up to my computer. The ease of mac to mac compatibility! All I do is plug my phone into my computer, which I do to update all my podcasts and such anyway, and it gives me the option to import the pictures into my iPhoto library. It's actually almost too easy.
5) Notepad. The notes app is one of my favorite apps. I use it to write down all sorts of crap, such as random thoughts and even important numbers and combinations I need to know for work. I know I will always have it with me, therefore it's a great place to keep things that you might need to reference throughout the day.
6) A computer. Wait, I know it surfs the internet, but does the iPhone really replace a computer? For me, for the most part, yes. I often find myself at home reaching for my phone to surf a quick site instead of my laptop. And instead of carryign a laptop places, I would much rather bring just the phone. Obviously it doesn't have the full functionality and ease of a laptop but for internet browsing it gets the job done.
7) Portable gaming device. I've started leaving my Nintendo DS at home. Why bother when I've got a few entertaining games on my phone now. And I'd much rather play touch Solitaire than half of the DS games i own. I'm just crazy like that.
8) Map. This one is a curse and a blessing. I never get lost again, but certain people are way to reliant on the fact I have an iPhone to get them around places.
9) Calendar/planner. Yes, I love the calendar. Nuff said.
10) Phone. Um, yes it does that too. Texting, phone calls, all the good phone stuff, it's there, and it works well.
I could list other things as well. Most of you know all this crap already. I just wanted to tell all the people who don't understand why I'm such a fan to see all the different uses this device actually has for me. It took everything I carried before and put it into one device, and it generally makes sure I have what I need at any given time.
There's other uses as well I didn't list, i.e. calculator, etc. but I said I'd limit it to 10 and this has already been a very fanboyish ad for my iPhone.
If you don't have one, get one.

STAY TUNED FOR NUMBERS 2-5!!!
My First Entry, Dedicated to Us
So I'm doing a blog, basically because society is screaming at me to.
"OHH DERRICK, YOU'RE SUCH A DORK" Society would say, unabashedly. "DERRICK, WHY DON'T YOU WRITE MORE BLOGS??"
Sometime I wake up at night in a cold sweat from nightmares of Bloggers past infesting my mind with their deadly whispers.. "Ohhh," they say, also somewhat unabashedly. "You must finish our tale. Finish our story. Blog the blogs we never blogged, or remain unblogged forever"
For it is as He says. --There is no Blog in Heaven. He shall Blog on Earth, and then He shall be let into the Kingdom of Heaven. -- Derrick 1:19
The ghosts of Bloggers past Haunt me. And for that, I blog.
Things I will include in this blog:
*Creative works of Genius (see: uninspired and boring) ((see: prior post))
*Games and riddles I may decide to make up out of boredome
*General opinions on various things that matter to both of us (see: facts)
*More stories about us. Things we've done, and will do in a few days.
Here is something pretty, because pretty pictures make people read blogs:
One final note about this blog. In case you couldn't tell from the title, this blog is about us, and therefore for our eyes only. If you are not who you think you are, you might be who I think you are, and therefore you are not you (and therefore you should not be reading this!!!)
Mind my privacy, and yours!!!
love you,
Derrick (my name is Derrick)

I have found a picture of Him off Google images:
