Crackberry - without which it would all be too much.

I wish I woke up in the morning feeling as rich as P. Diddy....

Anyways, let's do this again. I wake up in the morning and first thing I do is grab my phone. That's not because I am addicted to it. Ok, I am lying. However, my phone serves as my alarm and I need to turn it off. :) Besides, I have been phoneless for the last day and a half. I don't know how I am doing it. I have a headache right now. Methinks its a withdrawal symptom. I did just borrow my neighbor's charger to juice up my phone and I am literally watching the battery bar fill up with white blocks. I feel reinvigorated. I am almost afraid to stop watching it for fear that it might cease charging.

Back to waking up, I turn off my alarm and check my emails. My emails all come to my blackberry so I delete what needs to be deleted and attend to what needs to be attended to. Next, I grab my computer. Facebook is already open of course. A quick glance at my homepage tells me who I need to wish happy birthday. Another quick glance at my blackberry tells me who I need to wish happy birthday that is not on facebook. I compose wall posts and emails as necessary and then it's back to the blackberry for a quick glance at twitter. Gotta love ubertwitter. After attending to my @'s and DMs on twitter, I proceed to hulu.com. Once upon a time, my morning routine included music while I was dressing up but now, I watch a tv show while getting ready. I have music for the road after all so why not?

On the way to work, I am constantly checking my phone to reply or delete emails and facebook notifications as they are received. I don't even consider myself a busy person by normal standards. What will happen if I have kids and some multi millionaire type job? I guess I'd have a personal assistant then. However, I do think I'd like to check my facebook notifications and blackberry emails myself. I check my emails like text messages that my dad's emails now go like this: "Good Morning Ese, are you feeling well today?" and after I reply with a one liner, he gets down to business.

Twitter to facebook to blogspot to emails. I used to have one million email addresses but everything goes to my gmail account now thanks to automatic forwarding. I don't even remember the passwords to some of the numerous email accounts. Its driving me crazy. I want to delete some of these connections to the black hole called the internet but I keep making myself believe that I need each one. I am leaning towards eliminating twitter but how would I vent those random times when a maniac is being maniacal on the street? Or when someone blows smoke in my face on a Pittsburgh sidewalk? As for facebook, God forbid I have no where to post my pictures when I resume my photography habit! Flickster isn't as interesting. My dear dear blogspot. It's like facebook note visible to everyone so I don't really know why I need blogspot. I must admit that I do like to write and given that facebook can import blog spot notes... that kills two birds with one stone. However, I do think I am going to leave twitter. If i feel the need to vent randomly, I will .... er.... hmmm... twitter stays. Shit. As I reinstall ubertwitter again for the 3rd or 4th time, I wonder, how I ever survived 10 years ago.

All I can say is Thank You Crackberry for being the one tool I need to access the one hundred facets I have created in my life.

Have an awesome April.

Leeza!
