Today was a sad day. It has only been a little over 2 weeks that I have been able to gloat about how my phone was better than yours. It was too. I mean I just wanted a phone with an MP3 player. There are many of them out there, but my wonderful wife wanted me to have the best, so she got me the Samsung Blackjack.
All of a sudden, I had the coolest phone in the communication universe, and I didn't even know what it was. When I did find out what it was, I started to gloat. I had people say things to me like, "Wow, you have the blackjack...Cool!"
I was beginning to enjoy having such a popular item and was forgetting my resolution to do my best to decrease the hold that materialism has on my life. I started thinking about ways to get a 1 or 2 gig SD card for the phone, necessary to take advantage of its mp3 capabilities, which thankfully was another gift from my wife. Then I wanted a good case, which I also got a few days later on my birthday. Now, I want a Jabra stereo bluetooth headset. And next, it will be...
Thankfully God intervened. Today when I got to work I saw it in the Daily Oklahoma, the new pinnacle device in the phone universe, the Apple i-phone. When I read about how cool it was, I realized that progress had passed my by. Now when people find out that I have a Blackjack they will say, "A Blackjack, that is so last month."

I think you are very materialistic. I guess when it comes to the "haves and have nots" you have joined the ranks of the haves but now are disapointed with the fact you don't have again. I am glad I live in the great socialist state of Venezuela where Comrade Chavez has promised i-phones for all. HHmmmmm...I wonder if I can dial my new phone while riding my little burro...?
Hahaha. You need to make people sign in before they post because I just HAVE to know who that was!
I was on the verge of suicide. I read your blog and realized my life is not as dull as I thought. Thank you for giving me a new lease on life.
It is my prayer that some day God will "pimp your phone" into the ultimate technology platform.
Dear Comrade,
Thank you for praising my recent efforts to turn Venezuela into a worker's paradise. However, how did you come by the burro? Because not all Venezuelan people can afford burros, I had them taken from all. You may turn it in at the Central Committee headquarters at 41 Bush is the Devil St. in Caracas.

Now the way I see things....Men are always talking about women wanting the very best and are always having to have the latest, greatest and the most trendy well I guess it is true....times are really changing.
Trent if you really have to have the best I will bring you an apple. Would you like a Jonathan, golden, or just the plan old red one? Oh wait,I just heard they have discovered a new one hmmmmmm. Maybe I will see what kind it is before I bring you one because I would only want you to have the very best tasting and the juiciest.
