The future is now...

...or is there more to come?


My ceiling fan from my chair. I'll sell you the print...


I've always resisted blogging from my phone because up until now it was insane. Who in their right mind would want to crank out 7 paragraphs using T-9?? Not I. And even when I had my blackberry pearl and could type all kinds of things using their suretype keypad....

Oh, the days of my blackberry. We were the best of friends. If you don't believe me just go back a few posts. I have written a couple of posts about my intense love affair and debilitating dependance on my phone. But lately I could sense my feelings changing. I still loved my wife, er, phone, but I found my attentions straying. My new crush: iPhone.

When my friends began to get the iPhone I was deep in the throes of passion. I still had the my first blackberry 8100 and spent hours debating the merits of my phone. The iPhone seemed born from a fantasy land. As if a unicorn traveled to the future and took it from James T. Kirk himself.

But soon I began to have changed feelings. Butterflys were fluttering in my stomach as I began to process these new feelings. I began to play with the iPhones my friends had and they really could do some amazing things. They just kept improving and soon I found my heart had found another. There was just one problem: my blackberry began to abuse me, and I couldn't afford to leave it with the kids, and it was getting harder to hide the bruises...

Ok, no, it was my upgrade date. I spent the months until that date checking the AT&T website to see if my date had changed, or maybe the very fabric of space time had torn allowing an earlier upgrade. It never happened.

So Saturday I pulled the trigger. I took my blackberry up to my cabin, situated upon a picturesque mountain in the Ozarks. I made us a meal and we dined by candlelite. When the feast was over it could sense my trepidation. It began to get nervous. I had to break the news. It did not go well. We parted on...shaky ground, and attorneys are involved...

But now I'm living in the future with my new love, iPhone. And we're getting along great. The screen is amazing. The apps are expansive (and obviously useless on some level), and the magic fairy dust is replenished at night so I can use my phone to let me travel to Neverland.

Not the amusement park with the monkeys and half-naked Tweens.

So in conclusion, my life has changed in a way I didn't know it could. I thought I couldn't use my phone any more than I already did; that mark was blown away by an H bomb. And now I'm free to use my fancy-pants horizontal keyboard to type these blogposts on the fly. Check out that little signature at the bottom>>> You are so very welcome.

Also, I'm kidding: Of course I'm going to hang out with monkeys and half-naked tweens. Who am I, a dead man???
