THE STRUGGLE TO STAY CONNECTED

I've spent many many drunken nights with my good old blackberry bold. (I've only had it for 6 months... ) When you're holding your phone and your vodka cran in one hand, sometimes you lose grip of the phone.. not sometimes- but very often. I mean, when it comes down to it.... what really IS more important? My 5 dollar cocktail or my phone? Right? My point is, my phone has seen it's rougher days but never has it actually said "OKAY THAT'S IT YOU NEGLEGENT PHONE OWNER" and given up on me. It's been so good to me!

Until....

I was enjoying the company of my ever so handsome Max and decided to hand him over my blackberry. He just loves pressing buttons! BUT, he's also decided that throwing things on the floor and listening to the loud clang is super enjoyable.

So...

My phone's broken. Byebye bbm, byebye data, byebye facebook whereever I please, byebye CONNECTED.



It's a hundred times more shitty because the only thing wrong with it is the screen. It functions normally, recieving texts, bbms, makes phone calls, access to the internet.. but none of these functions are useful to me if the blasted screen doesn't work. So it dings and chirps whenever someone is trying to message or email me.. but all I can do is sit there and watch it blink red knowing I'll never know what that message held... (is that pathetic.. maybe.. a little)

I won't be getting a new phone for at least another 2 weeks, but holy camole, I thought it would be easier to be disconnected. I guess I didn't realize how much I depended on my phone for entertainment. I told Dre that I could probably try to live without a smartphone.. to which he replied with a look that stated "you're joking right? you, babe?".

I'm taking this as a challenge. I SO can live without being connected via a smartphone.. I mean, what have we come to?? I can live without bbm, I can live with out 24/7 access to the wonderful world wide web. YES I CAN!

With a little struggle, yes.. I think I can. Well, bottom line is, I really don't even have a choice BUT to live without it. Wish me luck!
