Another Sunny Day In London

Today I woke up to another sunny day in London. I think this makes the fourth day of sun since we moved to London on December 13, 2010. Coming from Atlanta, GA USA where there is sun almost everyday, it was a bit of a shock to our systems not to have it around. I'm someone who thrives off the sun. Years ago Jennifer, my partner, encouraged me to get a tattoo. I had no idea what I would get a tattoo of at the time and thought long and hard on it. Nothing came to me that I would want to put on my body forever. Then Jennifer said to think of something that held great meaning for me.....the sun. That was it. I found a design at a mall of a sun that I really liked. The design at this mall was indicating a particular direction, or entrance of the mall. What better design to have than of a sun providing me direction. So, I have a tattoo of the sun on my lower back, although Jenn and our son Kyan say it is on my butt. Not true! Don't believe them, you absolutely can not see the crack of my @ss! :)

Anyway, back to today. It's simply amazing to me how GOOD I feel when the sun is out. It gives me energy and lifts my spirit up like nothing else. So, I bought a new iPhone 4. I think the sun made me feel better about spending the money. I had to purchase a new iPhone in the US back in June because my old 1st gen iPhone had finally kicked the bucket, thanks to a heavy downpour in Miami. When we came to London, the iPhone of course wouldn't work on the carriers here unless I jailbreak and unlocked it. Unfortunately, I am one that constantly stays up to date on my phone software, and realized when we landed that there is currently no unlock for this version of software I have, and no idea when it would be released. So after using a cheap pay as you go phone for the past month, my depression got the best of me and I purchased a new iPhone on a contract here. I justified doing this when Jenn finally said she wanted an iPhone 4, instead of her current 3GS. So, we agreed that I would get this one now, and then we would wait until the unlock came out for the old phone for her.

Right now, I am a happy camper. It really is the simple things. :)
