ode to my cell phone
ode to my cell phone (Apr - Oct 2005):
When Dan brought you home in May, I skeptically gave you the once-over. i hated you and u're family of flip phones. Your owners always seemed so smug especially when they would end the conversation with a resounding smack as they shut your cover. yuck
But the longer I used you, the more you grew on me until i was taking pictures with the snazzy built-in camera and playing "Bejewelled" to pass time. It got so bad that if i left you at home, id come home at once to pick you up. i'd feel naked without you.
That all ended when you hit my bathroom floor on that fateful night in october. Your innards were fatally injured and though u gave me a feeble bleep, you died in my arms. Maybe it was good it ended while we were on the best of terms. Goodbye my friend.
======================================
Yes, I am phoneless. no home phone or cell phone. So if you gotta blog here or email me to reach me coz i lost all my phone numbers. Its not as hard as i thought living without a cell phone. And since my cell phone is the only connection i have with my friends, i havent been able to hook up with them either which made me go into loner phase which ive not minded so far. The only thing i miss the most about it is the SNOOZE button on it. Now, i haveto get up without my usual 3 snooze intervals coz ill defeintly sleep in. Boo. I also have lost all concept of time as I dont own a watch either. Its kind of cool coz its always an adventure to get to places on time. ahh none of you phone junkies will understand.
Last friday was an eye opener. Me and 3 friends were walking down commercial where we saw this woman on the ground. I must admit i would have just kept on walking by but Jill stopped and asked her if she was okay. She was absolutley wasted and had a mixture of booze and puke all over her. We helped her up and walked her to her apartment. ill keep it short - it was gross. there were coacroaches and insects everywhere. We made her toast, cleaned up and washed her dishes. It was even sadder hearing her story and it seemed so incomplete leaving her and then going back home to our own normal lives. And, i kept imagining a certain someone i knew who had lost everyone and everything and how she could fall into that position and how terrible it would be. Its weird how people say that we were great and we went out of our way and we should feel good about ourselves but i didnt. it made me feel worse. I was sad too because i knew if it was up to me, i would have just passed her by when this is really what we should be doing. Its painful seeing the two worlds that co-exist side by side but are kept at an arm's length. crazy shit.
ahh school. i dont know what you do with you. So i kicked ass in both my psych courses but failed chem. the average was 45% (me included). arggg - i want to conquer you but i honestly dont care. im thinking of dropping all my science courses next semester and switching to psych for good. at least it will make me feel worthwhile.
SO since im friendless for a while, ive spent more time on my music. I played bass at granville on sunday and it was good considering it was my first time. Im playing for another 2 weeks - woo. Also Dan, re-trung our guitar finally so some coldplay and jack johnson was relearned. Btw, the Killers Album "Hot Fuss" is sweet bus music. Serenaded by Mr. Flowers voice and the melodic rock-pop-synthesizer business = i heart the killers. and damn them if i dont love every single song on that album.
Peace out hommie G's.
