I think there are a lot of people who can relate to me when I say I NEED MY CELL PHONE!!! I always have it on me where ever I go. There are even some situations where I use it and it m-a-y not be very socially acceptable, but really, I’m sure my niece will graduate from kindergarten again… right??

I’m sure you can imagine that when I got my first Blackberry, I was in heaven. The amount of time spent with Blackberry would lead you to believe that I was having an affair (with the BB that is). My blackberry was with me throughout the day, hell, it even rode shotgun in the car! As I slept soundly, my non cellular wife would tell me that it would buzz intermittently to indicate one of my three email address’s had received some (junk) mail. I’d say there was no stopping this addictive relationship.

Then, it happened, the worst day of my Blackberry life! There we were walking hand in hand to the bathroom. I should have waited, I should have finished the task at hand, however I needed to read that TEXT! Picture this in slow-mo. I reach for the buzzing Device with my one free hand. Once I grabbed the Blackberry it popped out of my hand and started to flip in the air. I screamed “NOOOOO!” and thought should I let go of my other device to save the falling one?

Once I made my decision to let go of my best friend it was to late, my Blackberry had fallen into the toilet. I tried everything to resuscitate her(ya that’s right, it’s a she) by taking out the battery and drying out her inside with a towel. It worked for a day, but then she started to act funny and go in an out of consciousness. Her screen would shut off without warning and finally she died in my hands. The worst part is that I’m not even through one year of a three year contract! I still think about that Blackberry and how much I miss her…  But I think I’ll get over it pretty quick when I meet her younger sister, that new Blackberry Storm 2!!!!
