Ring, Ring

My cell phone is approximately three or four years old, you know the Razor that was so popular a while back. It's beginning to act up and I am thinking it's time for a new phone.

The problem I am seeing is that all the new cell phones are smart phones. I don't want a smart phone. I do not want the ability to blog or Facebook on the run. I need some distance from all those 1s and 0s to actually live my life.

So which cell phone do you buy now, if you want to use it only for - get this - a phone. I don't text, why text when I am holding the phone and I can call and speak actual words and get actual words spoken back to me. I think I will keep my phone for now.

If I have the ability to Facebook or snap a photo and blog about right then, I know I will. As a person who designs webs and writes for a living, yes, I must do that eight hours a day Monday through Friday - I don't want to do that in my off hours as well.  I don't think it's too healthy to be too linked to the web.

That's why I find the following commercial so apropos to what I am trying to do. I would rather have 19 friends and be active (probably not trail biking but maybe gambling, movies, reading). The key for me is to find a good balance to enjoy both worlds.


Enough for now...
