Over the weekend, my cell phone went dead on me. It just decided to quit and not work for me anymore. I should have got the hint when a couple of months ago, my cell phone started to rattle. The rattling noise sounded like a loose screw inside the cell phone somewhere, but I didn't open it up because it still worked fine --so why open the can of worms? In case you're wondering, I've had this cell phone for 3 years already. In cell-phone-years, it's probably equivalent to 30 years. I never wanted to switch to a new one because I loved this phone. And I love it because it's simple. No fancy color screens, no internet access, no voice-command calling, no Non-sense. It is exactly what a cell phone does best -- make and answer phone calls. Just Perfect!
So, after my cell phone died, I tried to go around to get a new one. After a few minutes of talking to the salesperson, I ended up walking out of the store not getting any. There was way too many plans out there, way too many minutes, way too many phones to choose from. Everything got too confusing. I hate trying to figure out what's the best plan for me, and what kinds of functions of a phone I'm looking for. Shopping around for a cell phone reminds me of shopping for a car -- dreadful and tiring. Today is Monday and I do not have a cell phone to use. I didn't have a scenario when I had to use my cell phone today. I survived one day without a cell phone. Maybe I can do the same tomorrow. And the next day. The next week. Maybe I don't need a cell phone afterall. Maybe I can go back to basic, and live life without a cell phone?
