Tech-NO-logical

A couple of years ago when I really started getting serious about my music career and I was also doing a lot of tattoos, I bought myself a smart phone to keep track of it, I dropped it once and broke the screen so I ran out, resigned the contract for another 2 years to get a few dollars off the price of the phone but still payed way too much to replace it but was back up and running.

My replacement phone got to the point where is was getting worn out and I have been looking around at what kind of phone I would like to get next that would serve me better. The dash is a good phone, but it has its issues (if you ever get one, don't use the alarm feature. You will have some crazy mornings where you can't figure out what the hell is going on! ha ha) Anyway, I think I decided that I would like the G1, it has some really cool features that would be perfect for someone like me, and there are some free apps that I could get a lot of use out of. Now it is just a matter of getting the money together for one, they are kind of expensive, and I am not able to renew my contract yet.

But as things usually happen to me, before I am ready. I was getting ready for work the day that I talked to my Grandad, I went to plug in my phone to charge while I got ready and I dropped it. It hit the counter just right and smashed the screen making it completely useless. I hurried and ran to walmart and bought a cheap prepaid phone to hold me over until I can buy a new one.

IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY! the dash has a qwerty keyboard making it so much easier to use. The phone I have now has your regular phone keypad where you have to use the numbers with T9 predictive text. I don't know who this phone is supposed to predict, but it is no clairvoyant and it sure as hell doesn't know how to swear like I do. ha. but it has a learn feature where you can manually type in words that you want it to remember. I am sure by the time I get a new smart phone I will have this stupid phone fully corrupted to my version of the english language, with all the best swear words, slang, shortcuts, and purposfully misspelled words. The major downside is being used to a qwerty keyboard I am SLOW with my text. I have been having conversations where I am constantly a couple of text behind. Text conversations can be misread and confused enough as it is, but when you can't keep up, that is how fights start! ha ha

Of course I have 4 kids and it is 2 weeks before Christmas so I can't afford to be putting any money towards a new phone, so I did what anybody that wants something they can't have for Christmas. I asked Santa Clause and you know what he said? "You'll break the screen out"
