    Hi guys! Long time no see! Came back from the cruise yesterday! Actually about one week ago, but decided to stay a few more days at the beautiful margarita island.

    Long story short, I bought a lot of stuff, saw a lot of places, fell in love with a girl from spain (met 6 girls from there the first day, they all just graduated from university), but bought no computers, partly because they were at about the same price range as in europe, and also because I wanted to wait for a mbp revision before buying another one, and the europe part i mention is because i am going to spain on april 18th to pursue the love of my life, I thought it would be a good idea to wait until I go there to get it, and I guess it's a good thing I waited, since now the base model of the mbp, which is the one I want, has 2x vram, almost 2x storage, and better processor, plus the new trackpad.

    So yeah I will have to endure 1 month and 20 days with my dad's toshiba laptop, and an old celeron 600mhz desktop at home :p (pray for me)

    Anyway, i couldnt figure out how to put pictures on .mac without iphoto, so ive set up some pics from the trip on my flickr account. feel free to see them!

    In case you were wondering, the pictures were taken with a canon powershot sx100is that i bought in aruba :D

    this is the address for the pictures (i know its not necessary, but i like pics, and i like when people post pics, so IM GONNA POST PICS :p)

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/fezthesexmachine/

    ummm. for some reason the first picture on the page is the last one I took.

    thanks guys! yeah the cruise was so awesome! Met so many cool people! some friendships that will last forever for sure! I definitely recommend anyone to go to one at least once in their life.

    I wish I could show you guys the dvd, there was a guy from the crew who was always filming 24/7, and i actually appear in 2 contests and shows, the ideal couple and sexy legs was another one i think, not sure if thats correctly translated, but anywho its an awesome vid, my friend (the girl with the laptop on the couch) bought it and i made a copy for me (it was like 15 euros to buy at the boat, lol, crazy), maybe when I get my mbp and will make a shorter and smaller version download friendly for those that wanna see, but by the time i get the mbp i will most likely forget, so yeah. :p

    Looks like the cruise was really fun!
    Haha, I'm going on a cruise this summer as well.. only that's it to a less exciting place. ALASKAAA!

    Nonetheless, the cruise ship should be fun! :D

    well ive always wanted to go on a cruise to alaska! watch the glaciers and stuff, that would be fun! of course the caribbean fun too. i guess it depends on where you live and what youre used to seeing.

    what do you do?

    sadly no! the saddest part is i cant let go. i keep moving my mouse pointer to the bottom left for expose :p

    I went to granada, st vincent, mayreau, barbados, aruba and curacao, aruba was the cheapest so i did most of my shopping there.
