Using my GPS to find Nirvana

I bought a new GPS yesterday. It's kind of a foolish purchase considering the fact that I never go anywhere, but I figured that now that my endless problem of registration has been fixed (a few days ago by the DMV), I can drive again. So, yesterday, I drove to Sacramento, and I bought the GPS at a Fry's Electronics (what a mecca of wonderful consumerism!). Anyway, so I also got to program voices, and I was first disappointed that my GPS doesn't even have German as a language choice. I thought driving around with a female German voice would have been cool. So, I then listened to the French one, and after realizing French isn't one of the languages I can actually speak, I decided to go with the UK female voice. This way, when she gives me directions, I can actually feel like some aristocrat driving around in my ancient Saturn.

So, I started exploring some of the points of interest the GPS has, and first off I noticed there was no POI for the secret places of the world, you know the places where they keep hidden knowledge of makes the world really tick. There was also no GPS location for nirvana or a higher state of being. So GPSs are not made for seekers of truth.

I then noticed that only one of the two theatres in my town are in the points of interest. I'm trying to decide if this is an oversight or some consumer monopolistic practice to keep me down and further the "man's" evil, uber ways. I'll get back to you on that one.

So far, my GPS hasn't been very successful in leading me from my driveway to my mailbox. Still have to find that one on my own. And when I was at the Psychology/Communication building at school, I tried using the GPS to go from Marlin's office to the computer lab, but the GPS kept trying to tell me to get back in my car and drive to KFC to get chicken. Now, while that sounded a lot better than attending practice, I really need to reprogram this thing so that it gives me the directions I need, and not the ones I fantasize about.

Stumble It!
