I’d still be doing it today, but after my wife got pregnant she told me I had to get a phone.

Funny thing, the very night I activated it I had a blowout on the side of the road and called her so I could yank the spare from the back of her vehicle and get home.

We both drove near identical jeeps at the time and I was already on my spare.

Of course I got the whole, “SEE! You’d be waiting on me to miss you and come out looking for you if you didn’t get this phone!”

I hate having a phone to this day. I really wish I could just vanish completely from everyone from time to time.

I found a spot at the lake near me that has no service recently, so I’m going to pretend to go fishing this summer and just go sit there.

I am more and more convinced every day that I’m not neurotypical. My mother said to me on Sunday, “oh lord, the way you think. You’ve always had the same brain and I’d tell you to take things a different way and your grandma would say, “leave that baby alone. He’s just creative. Let him be weird.””

I’m definitely not right.

Well, I have been diagnosed with both ADHD & Aspergers Syndrome, but that does not make me "not right", only not "normal". I just own it nowadays and that works out.

Also a lot of people are starting to realize that excessive smart phone use is actually really bad for people's mental health, not just on an individual level as well. It's kinda like having full package cable with 1mil channels at all times, each channel manufactured for a certain type of person so that the TV execs can keep making a profit from people watching their content and ads, all while influencing their minds with all sorts of made up worldviews, real or not. And you, my friend, were free from that.

Good luck today, King 👑
