Day 51: Eulogy


A series of unfortunate events unfortunately concluded with the utter destruction of my Razor. Miraculously (and against all rational explanation), my SIM card survived the carnage. A series of adventures then took me to the T-Mobile kiosk at Edison Mall, where I sweet-talked the sales associate into giving me a free phone for 14 days and then allowing me to transfer my SIM card to a cheapo phone after that.

That's what's up.

The free lender phone actually has more memory space, features, and battery life than my Razor. And it has a full keyboard, which I don't know how to use because I suck at touch screen phones.

The Razor lived a long and full life, though it wasn't without its obstacles and adversity. Last summer it went to the ocean and somehow entered Bluetooth mode for about four months. I don't even know what that means. And when I moved out of the dorms, I somehow lost the back of my phone, so my battery and SIM card have been exposed to the natural elements for a few months.

Despite the fact that it almost never worked, had a shorter memory span than a housefly, and is officially classified as a relic, it will be missed.

Versions of a truth, whispers of the real
Can't tie me down when all I hear
Is lost in sound

Song: "Changing" by Saosin. Post-hardcore rock. Saosin has one of the best drummers I've ever heard in this genre. Unfortunately they don't always utilize him correctly, but the percussion in this song is dramatic and driving.
