I don’t really care much for my new phone.  It has some neat features, and is helpful for texting, but the helpfulness in texting comes at the expense of the other features that I regularly use.  I called Verizon, and they said that not only could I swap it out with a different phone, but that they’ll call me back tonight when I’m home so that they can reactivate my old phone, process the order for the return of the new one, and go ahead and get another phone in the mail to me.  Now that’s pretty cool, eh?

So now I have to pick a new phone again.  Here are my options:

  1. Get one like my wife’s.  The biggest benefit here is that I could have a charger at home and at the office.  The downside is that the cuteness of the phone my distract from the cuteness of my face.  We can’t have that.
  2. Get a different phone that has the same basic stuff that my old one did.  There’s no point in getting a new phone in this case, now is there.  I might as well be stuck in the stone ages with silly alphanumeric keys.  Heck, I might even have to hunt for my food tonight or reinvent the wheel.

  3. not a straw one or a blue one

    The is this one other option….Verizon is offering a free Blackberry.  It has all the features that I need, and even a bunch that I don’t.  In the event of an emergency, I could relay valuable information to my family….like stock prices or sports scores.  The only minor issue is that there’s a slight fee increase for the services.  And you you believe the nerve of my wife…she actually thinks that I don’t need these services.  She’s so stuck on this whole “budget” concept that she can’t understand how much this device could enrich our relationship!

But, you know what, loyal readers.  I think you should have a say in this decision.  I feel so isolated and alone when I make this kind of choice.  So, submit your vote.  Here are the choices

Choice 1: Your wife is wrong.  You need…nay, deserve, this type of device.  This is a time for action. For change.  For FREEDOM!  Let us rise up and crush the oppressive tyranny that holds us down.  Let us join in arms and receive e-mails that have been pushed to our devices!

Choice 2: I do not think your wife is wrong, but I do think that you are right.  How in the world could I ever oppose such refined logic and deep-thinking?  I even think that it might be anti-American to vote against you.  This country doesn’t need “change” or “hope” or “catchphrase that McCain uses”.  No, what this country needs is more people like you with the ability to utilize your phone as a GPS.

So there are your options, America…please vote wisely.
