my cell phoneless world

After crying for a good half hour about the quite unfortunate status of my half eaten cell phone, I started to realize that maybe life with out a cell phone -especially a Blackberry- was not half bad. Aside from not having contact with the world at my pudgy little fingertips - believe it or not - I have still been able to communicate, live,and breathe.

A Few Thoughts on How Life Without a Cellular Device Can be a Good Thing

  • The lack of near constant ringing to alert me of calls/texts/BBMs/emails etc. has allowed me to have uninterrupted, elaborate thoughts and conversations with myself.
  • The thought of going against the grain of society and being a minority has opened my eyes to the many groups that are ridiculed daily for being different. ("OMG, Kacey. I can't believe you don't have a phone right now. You really need to activate one asap. You are so stupid for not having a phone.") I will not be peer pressured into getting a phone, I will only do it for ME. 
  • I have been working towards mastering the English language, and not having a cell phone has taught me to spell words correctly and use proper sentences. 
  • The risk of losing or damaging an expensive piece of equipment: 0. 
  • The world does not need to know / should not want to know where I am and what I am doing every. single. second. of. the. day. Leave me alone, creepers.
  • I used the house phone!
Oh, and I guess I get more work done at work not checking it every 5 seconds... So back to work.
