blackberries

yep... if you would have asked me last week, i would have said nope i don't have a blackberry and i have no intention of getting one. i was pretty happy with the bare bones cell phone. i don't need much just a little food and a warm place to lie my head at night, but that all changed on tuesday of this week. my boss said that he and his wife needed a new phones. next thing i knew i was at the kiosk at the mall and getting a blackberry.

things i like about being tied to the internet 24/7:

• being tied to the internet
• espn.com
• free unlimited text messaging
• music player on the phone

things i don't like about being tied to the internet 24/7:

• being tied to the internet
• realizing that i get a lot of junk email
• getting work email after hours and then worrying about something that i can't do anything about because i am not in the office or in front of a real computer
• the thought that i will get brain cancer at some future time
  

is it worth it? not sure yet. it's fun for now, but i think that the novelty will wear off soon. i just hope that it doesn't become a need for me. 'cause that would stink.
