Shoutout to Blackberry

Hello world,

I guess this post is really just a reminder of how fast time flies by. I wanted to write something thought-provoking, but it's really difficult to come up with something on the spot. I don't usually talk about my life on the blog because it usually doesn't stimulate any of the more complicated thought processes. But I will talk about my new friend: Mr. Blackberry. There's a long history between me and my phone. For longer than I can remember, the weapon of choice was the Nokia 3390. I had other phones but they never quite compared to that particular champion phone for high school students. The other phones were either too slow, had bad picture quality, needed to be flipped in order to answer a call (which sucks btw), or the ringtones weren't dope enough. The 3390 was just so good at the basics: fast calls, intuitive text messages, and composer to make your own ringtones. Popular ones included Differences by Ginuwine, Wanksta by 50 Cent, and So Fresh So Clean by Outkast. When camera phones came out, I scoffed at the excess and the poor performance of the simplest functions. But now I realized I've been ignorant to the potential of the best phones out there. I'm not going to plug Blackberry but if you google chat me, aim me, send me an e-mail, text me, call me, or facebook message me, I will receive it in real time. Today's a new day for the technological era. Although the 3390 might be outdated, I gotta pay homage to it because it is a phone that made the Blackberry what it is. Come to think of it, the landline telephone, the telegraph, and the tin cans tied together with string all deserve some love.
