So when I'm laying in bed trying fall asleep is when most of what I think or feel comes to the surface and well pulling out my laptop to type about it doesn't seem so functional... So I decided that seeing as I keep my phone beside me enough times a week (its my alarm, you see... And yes I'm aware of the whole radiation business... Will have to get proper alarm clock soon...off topic!) I'll just type up entries on my phone!
At the risk of boring you, these will most likely be screened the next day for intolerable stupidity... or maybe not. I can probably figure out how to post directly but I'm to lazy at the moment.
I didn't quite get the BlackBerry craze until I got one to try for myself and quite honestly its a fabulous little gadget! Quite fancy its convenience and overall look (the white casing versions are so much more chic if you ask me!) What I calculated the most before jumping on to the trend was the degree to which I'd be connected. I appreciate being accessible but not to the point where everyone knows me by name and face and nothing else. The lack of privacy and the way people are so keen on investigating the least attractive characteristic of a person is really heart breaking and unsettling. Be not mistaken, I take part in these social networking sites that exist in all sorts of forms... But recently, I've been doing so with some discretion. I want to maintain the mystery of my personality for a person to decode in person not through my facebook profile page. I love that I can share things on there and keep in touch with people that otherwise would have escaped my life owing to various reasons. My impression of the BB was that it was a tool that meant you were always connected, by way of applications and what not. Its true, when you have BBM, twitter or facebook and the tip of your fingers its hard to resist, but its not so hard when you know exactly where you stand about it all... My good old Sony Ericsson phone was simple and well engineered and I loved it, unfortunately it was dropped in the snow (on the eve of an colossal exam, i might add) in the midst of a snow storm and was only recovered hours later... crushed under the wheels of a car :(
I can discipline myself (oddly) well enough about it all that it's really up to me when it comes to how connected I am! My addiction to blogs seems a contradiction to my concern about privacy... but in my head its not. I guess to put it clearly, facebook is what scares me most haha! Although I'm not the type to write my life story into my status... The whole stalking thing has got me paranoid (maybe because I know well enough how potent of a tool it can be for stalking from my college days eeek!) All this blah blah to say... I officially LOVE my BlackBerry despite not being happy about it at the outset. And with that I inaugurate a new series of posts: "CrackBerry Blog Post"... Yay!
