Verizon FIOS – Don't Believe the Hype

The End of my Failed Experiment

I had been watching all of the commercials for Verizon’s FIOS service and reading a million articles on the internet that made it seem awesome. When FIOS became available in my neighborhood, I jumped right on the bandwagon. I was going to be burning through the web, watching a million hi-def tv channels, and generally just riding the wave of the future. Well, things aren’t always what they seem.

I have had cable forever Cablevision or Comcast depending on where I lived. When we moved into our new house, we got the Optimum Online "Triple Play" for the house. I didn’t have a Hi-Def TV

Here is my cautionary tale about Verizon’s Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time service.

Movie Review – Juno – Great Date Movie

Juno (16 years old) gets pregnant after having sex once with her friend Bleeker. She decides to have the baby and put it up for adoption. I don’t want to spoil the movie, so I’ll withhold some of the plot. The rest of the movie revolves around the trials and tribulations of a pregnant teen trying to live a “normal” life until the adoption takes place. As you might expect, some weird stuff happens along the way (most of it funny) and she grows up while she navigates the choppy waters. The ending is a toss up, there were two things that had to get closure: Keep or Give Away the baby and Find true love or Not. I’m not going to tell you what happens, but one goes the cliche Hollywood route and the other does not. See it for yourself to find out.
