Some people find better uses for technology these days, like USB cup warmers…

Women are annoyed when you pay more attention to your gadgets than to us. Especially when you asked me out, asshead!

Damn. Settling for less seems to have its perks. Wish I could. I suck.

I have the oldskool, creamed-spinach-color LCD type of cellphone. It has one game: Brickshooter. I have to be very, very, very bored & be stuck with absolutely nothing to do to play Brickshooter. I bought it around the time the phones with color screens came out.

When the Sony Playstation One came out, I went down to FunCoLand and bought a Sega Genesis and an assload of games for around 20 bucks.

I bought some Magic: The Gathering cards and put a few decent decks together, about 2 years after the craze surrounding it died down. I have never spent more than a dollar on thos stupid fucking things at any one time.

When they came out with DVD players, I started going down to the video store with a $20.00 bill, and came out with 4-5 pre-owned movies on VHS.

For a cheap motherfucker scrub like me, there’s always an upside to this planned obsolesence business.

Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s time for a 40oz. of Milwakuee’s Best…..Ice.

Because with a camera phone, you can, well, take pictures…so that you can, uh, send them to people, and then they can, uh, well, okay, I might need some more time on this one. BTW, my phone does not have the camera feature. And, yes, they were available when I bought it.
