Ode To The Cell Phone Junkies

By Bob D. Caterino
Nov. 8, 2005

I can't fathom a guess why some people, most people use the cell phone other then emergencies. Can you love someone so much that after you leave the house you find the need to call them and talk on your way to work? Now at work you feel the need to call again. Maybe you forgot something you didn't say for the last hour.

I can see folks driving and listening to the radio but it is a fact that most of the accidents today happen because people can't chew gum nevertheless talk on a cell and drive at the same time. This is a huge problem today and if you don't think it is look at the driver next to you. If he or she is talking on a cell then look at their car. Dents are highly noticeable all over the car or what ever they are driving. Unless you are bout to give birth then I think talking on the cell is probably not an emergency that can't wait until you get to a real phone.

I started looking into the cell craze and found that there are many reasons that most people have them. Some of the reasons are justifiable but other reasons are just as lame as the guys excuse for burning down his apartment next door to mine. He said “I forgot to blow out the candles that were on the sofa.” People in a restaurant use them for attention. There is no excuse to be eating and talking loudly unless you want the person next to you to see how big and happening you are talking on a cell. Ill just bet there isn't even anyone on the other end of the thing.

I know that there are business deals made on the cell. This is the right track but to tell your friend that you forgot to tell them something and they just have to call you back is lame.

Then you have the cheaters. Men and women using the cell to talk to people behind their significant others back. This is not cool. I would like to see this happen to all the cheaters in the world. You sit in your favorite fast foodery. You whip out your huge cell phone to call as many girls that were stupid enough to give you there numbers. You talk for a few minutes because they one by one hang up on your stupid face. Then you feel proud because you have a full phone book on your cell, full of girl's names that probably don't know who you are anymore. Then you turn your head and see your girl talking to a strange man in a dark corner. Maybe it's the King, or some clown she is talking to. You feel bad, so bad you call the last number on your cell. She answers and you make a date. There is a good reason she is last on your list but you are mad and ask to hook up and she agrees. Despite her bears and blemishes because you are not superficial at all, you meet with her. You are just about to start your great rap that will make her swoon. She smiles at you and the romantic light from the moon glistens off of her tooth, not the gold one but the other one. She shows you her new eyebrows. She had them surgically removed and repainted them on with permanent marker and you don't even mind that they don't match. Just think, this all came about because you had to have a cell phone now didn't you? Your spouse is with a rich man making deals on his and you are with someone named Godzelda. Good for you.

Use these important tools for what they were intended for. Emergencies and important things not to look good or at the least think you do.

Now last but not least at all. Get a ring. If I wanted to hear Beethoven or Mozart I would do so on my stereo at home. I never cared for muzak or midi and I certainly don't want to hear it on a cell in the middle of a movie or a play or at the library.
