Pocket Watch

Upon arriving home from CiCi's for lunch, where I annihilated the cinnamon rolls, I received a text message from someone whom I believed to be a very good friend of mine.. I was mistaken.  After replying, I reached down and put my phone back in my backpocket... or so I thought. I missed my pocket and it slide down my ass then smashed on the concrete.  Thanks a lot PERSON WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS for breaking my phone. Yeah, I'm the kinda guy who will blame other people for little shit I did wrong.  Big mistakes I will own up to, but there is no sense in soiling my own name when I can convince everyone that the person who put on a god awful Sublime song is the reason why I missed our exit.  

Cell Phones all around annoy me. They never seem to work right, are always slow, and the battery dies super fast.  Plus, no matter how much you spend on one, they come out with a better one in 3 weeks.  I'm tired of people fighting over Android or Iphone being the better phone operating system thing, because in the end everyone is going to find a way to play scrabble during class.  Yeah, they might be convenient for your twitter, but lets be honest, the only reason you want tweets to your phone is because you don't get to have actual conversations that mean something, so you fake like you care what Chamillionaire just tweeted just so that you don't have to make eye contact with homeless people at stop lights.  But the majority of us only use our phone for one sole purpose 80% of the day; to check the time.  Cell Phones are basically on giant, inconvenient, rechargeable pocket watch.  BUT NOT ME! I've been sporting a wrist watch all day everyday since day one.  And for everyone who thinks it's lame (i.e. the girl last semester who told me she thought only middle schoolers wore digital watches) the joke is on you.  Next time you're swimming in the pool and wondering if it's time for King of Queens to come on,  don't look to me for help.  I keep my wrist knowledge all to myself.
