Offline moments

So I replaced my phone today. And I don't like my new phone as much as I liked my old phone. Oh well. And for a brief moment today, I wondered why I was even bothering to replace it. Quite honestly the only things that my phone does that my ipad won't is fit in my pocket and make phone calls. And I don't even like to talk on the phone.

And there really are times when I think I'd be better off never getting on the computer either. I mean, you'd never have to suffer reading this tripe on this blog if I just kept a journal. I'd have never sent a whole lot of, embarrassing as hell to me now, emails. And I never would have met the worst man in the world. And I also wouldn't stumble across the world's other most annoying people on a regular basis. You know who I mean? The ones that want to change the world and want to save the planet, and better theirselves and everyone else in the world, throught their "inspiring" tweets and facebook posts, and linked in-edness connectedness. You know, the ones who post inspirational ted talks that changed their lives and will change yours too. The ones who tell you about their life-moving interactions with other cultures or other species.

Really, I'd be a whole lot happier without their informing me of the latest break through in medicine or psychiatry or the super great organization that helps their child and their sister.

I think what I'm saying is i find it all pretentious. And sad.

But on the other hand, how would i research stuff so easily, and how would I talk to my daughter, and how would I take all those quizzes, and play words with friends.

I guess I will never be a mick hodge. And be off the grid. Which is good, because I do like hot showers and shoes.
