it has begun.

a long time ago, a wise man once said, "holy crap, go get a new cell phone!!" ya see, the screen on my cell phone elected to end itself a couple days after christmas '08. i've never been a gigantic fan of technology...well....i hate it. i can prove it, but allow me one moment for the set up.
one day i would like to sit on stage with a comedian and just observe the audience while said comedian performs his schtick, so when he tells a joke along the lines of, "i saw this commercial on t.v. that said 'you can water your hard to reach plants with this product.' now, who would make their plants so very hard to reach," i could watch the audience to see how many of them lean over to their significant other and i see words, "that's," "so," and "true" mouthed. well, i was myself the victim of one of these moments while watching this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jETv3NURwLc, which proves my hatred for technology because it has caused the lot of us (my generation) to become "feed me now" brats that need everything immediately...scratch that...12 seconds ago.
and hear lies my problem. i need to document my quirky life experiences somewhere and this is admittedly a terrific forum to project such stories. it seems on a weekly basis i have some event or encounter that just simply makes me have to laugh because it's just so bizarre. whether it's driving my car to hy-vee when i see a man walking down the street juggling pins and looking completely depressed (happened three nights ago) or driving to ft. dodge for work one morning when i glance to my left to observe a beautiful rainbow which immediately causes an inner dialogue about how thankful i am for creation and in the midst of my emotional high, a bird impales itself into the right front fender of my car, causing me to jump and swerve all over the road. these stories must be told in mass, so they can be passed down from generation to generation, shared around campfires 100 years from now as teenagers complain they had the thought of a bonfire and it hadn't immediately started before their very eyes.
hope you enjoy.

p.s. no, i have not purchased a new cell phone.
