Smart Phone Acting Stupid

I think I have mentioned how much I love modern technology. I really do. I love that it is pretty much impossible not to stay connected everywhere all the time.

Except when your modern technology fails you. I love my phone. I have a Droid. It is, for the most part, a fantastic piece of technology. But, that's not to say that I haven't wanted to throw it across the room against something hard and see it shatter into a zillion...or more...pieces. Today is one of those days. I noticed that I had new emails that hadn't come into my phone. I was on my laptop at the time so, I refreshed my email on my phone and still...nothing. Now, I don't tend to get a boat load of important emails so, that isn't even my biggest problem. What I might get is the occasional important phone call. Right now, due to some really horrible family health issues, I really need my phone to be working. THE PHONE...not the other extra bells and whistles that come with my phone. And, by PHONE I also mean texting. I have had times when I won't receive a text and, I have learned that there have been a few times when I haven't received a phone call as well. So, upon realizing that my email wasn't working, I tested my phone by calling it from my home phone line. The fedging thing didn't ring. I got voicemail. I should have left a message but didn't. I promptly hung up and rebooted my cell. Since rebooting, there is no indication that I received a phone call. Not even the "missed call" icon. I tested it again from my home phone and it rang. So, we are back in business...for now. But, if I received any calls while it wasn't working, I will never fedging know and that pisses me off. Same with texts. If the damn phone isn't working, I won't get any functionality out of it at all. It really pisses me off as I rely on that little piece of technology to keep me connected to people from all over the globe. If it doesn't work, what good is it really?

So...I guess I just need to let everyone know...if you call me and I don't answer, and if you leave a message and I don't return the call, I likely never got the message because my lovely piece of highly intelligent technology isn't working. Don't despair. I haven't suddenly decided that I don't care about you or don't want to hear from you. I simply don't have a phone that works 100% of the time. Perhaps not even 50% of the time. Just keep trying. I probably really want to hear from you.

What's Going On?

It has been a while since the last time I posted anything so, I thought I would just sort of cram everything that has been going on, into one post to get you all up to speed. So...here goes.

Let's see, I haven't heard from my friend who is deployed in Afghanistan for quite some time now so, I am pretty much constantly worried about him. But, hopefully he is ok. Hopefully he got the letter and card I sent him. Hopefully I'll hear from him soon. Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully. Ugh...I hate worrying about friends and not being able to do a darn thing about it. But, boo for me.

Next...I have another blog. This one is for my softer side. It is dedicated to my creative crafty side. I started making YouTube videos of my cards and, while I am behind on that one too, I have posted a few of those videos, along with little descriptive entries. You can find that blog here: http://iamastamper.blogspot.com/ I intend to get moving on updating that blog either tonight or tomorrow. It is actually kind of late now so, it will likely be tomorrow. And, as I mentioned my YouTube videos, I have a YouTube Channel which you can find here: http://www.youtube.com/user/JustBloggin1 I am kind of proud of my YouTube Channel. I have actually learned a ton of stuff and, while editing takes some time and the occasional boat load of patience, I love it. I love sharing my passion for crafting with others.

And...I guess the last thing I want to talk about is my obsession with the Casey Anthony Murder Trial. I am hooked on it. I have never been one to watch any court cases in the past. I like the bite sized People's Court and, the hour long true crime type shows like you would find on ID...or whatever that channel is called. But, for some reason, I started watching the Casey Anthony trial since their opening statements, and I have been glued ever since. I want her to be found guilty. And, while I didn't agree with the death penalty when I was a kid, I grew to appreciate it as I got older and, now...I believe that it couldn't happen to a nicer person. She is despicable. I have watched her pretend to cry for her daughter. I have watched her dab at tears that weren't there, wipe her nose and blow it into a tissue that never gets wet, ripped or replaced. I have seen the same tissue hold up to hours and hours of nose, eye and cheek rubbing and have only seen it somewhat crumpled or neatly folded. She's a fake. I think she fancies herself an actress but, other than her remarkable ability to spin believable stories and lies, she is a horrible actress. Hell, Lindsay Lohan could probably show her a thing or two and, for those of you who know me, you all know how very much I dislike everything about Lindsay Lohan. So...take that for what it is worth. Anyway, I want to see Casey Anthony get the death penalty and, I wish that I could have a "Casey Cam" on her when she meets El Diablo in Hell. I'd love to see if she could drum up some real tears than. Not that they would last long as they burned up in the flames of Hell. But, truly...her future position is down there right behind Osama Bin Laden waiting in line to get through the gates of Hell...or whatever the truly deserving have to do when they first arrive where they belong.

So...that's about all for tonight. :)
