I'd still rock a Motorola RAZR if I wasn't worried about the guaranteed negative social ramifications of having any phone that isn't an iPhone...
I don't even have an iPhone...
I don't even have an Android anything...
I don't even have a cell phone...
The worst is the negative social ramifications of having a landline phone and being stuck with Hughesnet. Its the Hughesnet with theunlimited west data limit to It is always eaten up by a grandmother...Not your grandmother, cause she's dead...No, but you wife's grandmother. The one who shouts "Gary...Gary........Gary....." from her bed because she's basically settled into a life of being entirely dependent on an older, retired Special Ops, Vietnam vet, all around aging badass of badassness,that is really too weak to be an errand boy, and who strangely isn't there...Like he vanished...
no, Gary's not dead... He's there... SpecialIOps, remember? He uses the whats is seemingly the last of Special Ops skillage, that his weak knees and failing body haven't robbed him of...He could still probably kill you in a 100 ways before you realized you were under any kind of attack...Not one to fuck with. You can see it in his eyes....
Her room is right by the kitchen. you tip toe to the fridge because Gary ain't around, hoping not to disturb her many slumbers... You cant make too much noise. You're afraid to cook, because if she hears and needs to feed, then you can expect to have to prepare her something way more complicated than the simple Quaker Oats you wanted. Guarantee it needs onion to. Chopped. It always needs chopped onion...Tears flow...
This grandmother is the one that watches sewing and craft videos in full HD til the daily data runs allowance runs out and then blames you for the slow speed. She refuses to upgrade it to a sane data cap, even if you, yourself have offered to first pay the difference, and then the whole bill when that offer was refused...That one failed to get through to them as well...
You're also stuck with an Amazon kindle that works better as a paper weight than a mobile device. You have come to rely on methamphetamine and coffee to take advantage of the unlimited data from 2-6am...And then go to work, the next day...
The thing that really makes it fucked? Across the street they have access to Verizon FiOS I believe. A few hundred feet away... Fuck Hughesnet. Fuck Hughesnet up their stupid asses.
Why can't life be simple anymore? I'd rather have slow unreliable internet all the time, rather than knowing something better exists and is attainable by moving across the street. It was a better and much simpler time. A time when internet wasn't the only thing for EVERYTHING FUN when its over 100 degrees outside and the mere thought of venturing past the front door gives you a sunburn. Yes, better internet was available then. Being a minor,I ha no choice butext suck it up and deal with dial up for the longest time.
I miss my Motorola RAZR. I miss having every gadget performing mostly one primary function, and maybe a couple others I'll use as a cool novelty every once in a while, or Tetris.
I said all of this. Really, I just have a broken smart phone that had no insurance. Its a charge port on a Motorola and I don't possess the soldering skills to attempt a repair.
