no this is not a post about ron browz. but one that may raise some eye browz. admittedly, as any of my friends will tell you, i am an exceedingly difficult person to get in touch with. there is something i find extremely disconcerting about today's modes of communication, namely, cellular phones.
the art of conversation is dead man. and cell phones are to blame. i won't go into any sardonic compendium of the categories of cell phone abusers. i'm sure you, like myself, know them all too well. perhaps you are one of them. i know i am not. not anymore.
for today, i have decided that for the next 30 some odd days of lent, i will retire my cell phone. i realize that this will have consequences on my social life. but people had social lives before 1997 or whenever humanity became tethered to these things. people had families and friends. they had sex and got married and made love and had babies. they went on vacations and made stupid decisions and learned from their mistakes and bought new cars and went grocery shopping. and they did this without cell phones.
so too will i. wish me luck.
