I found myself united with a huge number of persons across the world through my 30GB Zune. This should have been a good thing, especially with Microsoft promoting the Zune social. Unfortunately, we were all united by a malfunctioning device. Microsoft day after day has been getting on my bad side and this put the icing on the cake. I've been anti-Microsoft for quite a while and only chose the Zune because of cost. It's not an iPod but it got the job done. I put up with its dependency on the Zune software and it actually became a much used device. Imagine my chagrin when I turn it on one day, New Year's Eve to be exact, only to see it freeze. I thought it very strange and had to crack open this wonderful device in order to reset it. Worked fine afterwards, or so I thought. Woke up New Year's Day and what do I see...yup you guessed it, a frozen Zune. I'm worried now. Is this thing really broken? Will I have to find a replacement?

It's really amazing how life can be. You sit and plan what you want to happen, how it will happen and when it will happen and guess what? It doesn't work out as planned. What do you do then? On a daily basis there is testament to human will. Each day we see overcomers, people who have set goals for themselves and work to achieve them regardless of what is thrown in their path. All in all though, the worst thing that can happen to someone in this life is to not have a purpose. To not be passionate about something or someone. If this is absent then what is there? Nothing but a big dark void in the innermost being.
