Stupid Cell Phone!

Mmm, sure I don’t get the annoying telemarketers calling me anymore. I haven’t heard from a bill collector in nearly a year even though I am over my head in dept. Mmm sure, long distance isn’t an issue anymore. Nights and weekends I get unlimited talk time, including the 500 anytime minutes. But why am I not happy with my cell phone? To begin with, I hardly ever talk on the phone. I certainly question my intelligence for getting this worthless ear radiation device. The only thing I actually enjoy about this piece of crap is the mega pixel camera on the dang thing. Other then that I wish I never parted with my 15 dollar a month cheaper land line. Now I still have about a year and a half before my contract expires.

The motive of me finally deciding to go ahead and get this cell phone was the notion I wouldn’t miss a call when I am out. The excitement of coming back home from a long day and seeing that red light flash on the old school answering machine, or the thrill of screening telephone calls at real time, those days are over. Now I have to call that lame messaging service and punch in my 4 digit security code to hear missed calls. No more excuses telling the caller I wasn’t home, or saying that I left my cell phone home is almost like saying; “I am a liar, and I didn’t want to talk to you”.

Welp, writing about this subject matter only makes me realize that my phone needs to be charged. Now that I am not old fashion and with the times again I guess I can say cool phrases like, “Catch you on the flipped side”! #@^$%*^!

So you don’t own a vehicle eh?

Many Americans label some people as second class citizens because they walk or ride a bicycle and do not drive their very own over priced fuel capsule. While their FAT BEHIND enters a drive-thru at burger king and orders a quarter pounder of grueling trans fat! Thinking to themselves, (or even shouting) derogatory remarks as a result of a low life walking, or on the bicycle. They then feel better than that individual because they are in their high and mighty gas guzzler. That is the American way!

Because American is made for cars, the mass majorities of walkers (and some bicyclists) are more times than not lower class America (drug addicts, alcoholics, etc). With the exception of dog walking and exercise, many middle class Americans would be shamefully embarrassed if caught walking by their friends and colleagues.

Of course if you don’t own a car and don’t want to be labeled “car-less”, you can always move to New York City or Los Angeles. These are the only true places in urban America that you can live without being your own co pilot. Public Transportation is widely accepted. Doctors, lawyers, blue collar workers and even millionaires walk side by side with junkies and street winos. As for the rest of America, in most cases, “no car = no job, and no respect”.

America’s obsession with cars and the (haves and have nots) is by far one of the top issues that pisses me off about this country. I believe having a vast unified transportation system, “like Japan,” the quality of life for everyone could be much better; but fat chance that would happen anytime in this century.

TUCSON, ARIZONA (FREAKIN HOT!!!)

If you’ve ever been here in the summer time, you probably already know Tucson can be considered unbearable during the summer months. Ranging from June to mid September it is indeed hotter than hell. If you don’t own a car, (like me) it can be considered even more unbearable. However, if you always bring water with you, don’t drink or smoke, and in relatively good shape you can survive. But still it can have its toll on you. It is also very important to wear sun block. I use the kind with the highest specs. Nonetheless it is worth tolerating these 3 -4 months, because the rest of the year it is beautiful. I actually would rather take the severe heat than the bitter cold any day. I decided to put a weather icon on my website. Now if you really want to know the current temperature in Tucson, Arizona, just come here and check it out! :)

BUSTED GRIP SHIFTERS!

I got a flat yesterday so I decided to patch up the tire with my trusty patch kit. “Lo and behold;” when I flipped the bike over on its handle bars to take the tire off, the mechanism in the grip shift must of cracked when it hit the kitchen floor. I tried adjusting the front derailleur by pulling the slack out of the cord. I did this process hundreds of times with success, but not this time. Anyway, it appears to be broken. The good news is the bike is still rideable, but only in third gear. I’m just gonna have to use a little more muscle now. Perhaps the Shwinn Company will replace the shifter for free since the bike is under one year old. They already replaced a bent tire free of charge! I’ll call them Monday. (OUCH! My fingers are killing me now!!!!)
