The tragic death of the mobile...

Again I havn't wrtitten in a long long time. But thats because I have generally been happy with the way the world is... Who am I kidding? I was so pissed off with the world that my brain exploded and i've been in hospital for the last two months. But i'm back and raring to go with a shiny new rant.....

Anybody who knows me in person (god help you) will probably have herd me rant about this before because it is a little pet peeve of mine....


Mobile phones are a god send. No more do we need to stick to arrangements we have made, because we can send a text to cancel and leave our freind in the lurch! Genius. But my main problem with mobile phones is thier battery life... When a mobile phone is about to die it delights in telling you just how close to death it is. But like an irritating family member it won't just tell you once, it will tell you OVER and OVER again. Now, humans are intelligent beings. We know this because when we are about to die, we conserve our energy in trying to last an incredibly long time, and only expend our energy in saying something of great importance, (such as a combination to the family safe, or the fact that he isn't even your real dad). Mobile phones seem to have a death wish, and when about to die they play a little fanfair and flash all of thier lights to signal how much they are dying. The equivilent to your dying grandfather leaning forward and whispering these final words into your ear "Did you know...... i'm dying?". And when your phone is having a little miniture death rave in your pocket, its too exhausted to be able to tell you that you got a text from your friend and he's standing you up. So you end up waiting for your friend.... all day.... looking like a total prick. Thanks.
