farewell my LG

i'm going to tell or try to tell you a short true story. i am not an up to date on electronic devices. i don't adjust very well to change. i like it just plain simple and to the point. let me explain. as long as i can remember i'm old so bare with me, as long as i can remember i think it was my dad and sister pati that got a phone first (cell phone). then my sister monica and my mom. then my sister erica. they will have to correct me if i'm wrong.

my parents needed it for work and my sisters for school and such stuff....... me well i was the last. i know can you believe that. the oldest but last to get one. see it wasn't that important to me and by the time i was with heather i just figured my parents or sisters would get ahold of me through heather's phone. it was like this for a couple of years then things started to get to mixed complicated and i got my own phone.

i wasn't excited as i would have thought to be when i got it. for almost two years i had this tiny phone. i loved it. loved that it was to my level not to fancy. yes i could text. yes i could even take pictures. yes it had internet. yes this tiny phone worked for me. i've never been wowed with technology because it moves to fast. moves so fast that newer models come out as you get used to the current ones. whether it be cd to mp3 or dvd to blueray. yes i still have things like a vhs player and a record player that i play records on. i love living in the past. maybe i was meant to be a 60's baby but then again me being mexican and wanting to speak spanish might not have been good back then.

heather was wanting a new phone up to speed, coming from someone who studied computer science i didn't blame her. there we are at the phone store and i tell her whatever happens don't let me get suckered into getting a phone. i'm okay with the one i have. did that work? that's a big NO.  my thinking is always off so there i was holding a phone that heather was about to get  me and i said to her "how in the world will i make my brain handle such mini computer." she told me "don't worry i'll teach you." like if it was that easy. it took like three hours.  made the guys in the store stay overtime to get the paper work done. i even said to one of the reps "man i feel like i am taking out a loan at a bank."

then came the time to give them my tiny yet vulnerable phone so that they could transfer my contacts onto this new one. i said "um thats okay i don't think that is possible, my phone might not be able to do that?" they told me anything is possible so i handed it over.

the jokes began. heather even joined them, heck even i. there were laughs and old comments couldn't blame them but hey it was mine. i told them all my phone could still do and they said "no way really." i was living in the stone age. when i told my sister she continued with the jokes as well. hahahahaha laugh it up it will pass.

just before we left they even told me that they can recycle my old phone for me but i said that i wanted to give it a proper farewell. the bummer was that i was not able to keep my very hilarious omg is that you number laugh anymore. had to get a new number. so there you go my tiny little phone will no longer be in service but will miss it alot.

thankyou for two years of service and for keeping me living in the past. you my little LG will never be forgotten you have caused many a laughs in your lifetime but don't worry if i don't like the new spectrum moma will be back.
