last night me and some friends drove to this secluded lake back in the woods and sat on the bank and roasted several bowls of some dank headies, and later we were drving around listening to the brand new les claypool disc just totally spacing out. we were on these back roads through the woods, and everything was looking very picture-esque and it was a very serene, peaceful high. then my fucking cell phone with its annoying ass ring tone goes off and totally breaks the moment. everyone was like....whhhhatttt the fucccckk is that??? it was just my mom, asking something totally insignificant. but yea, i think cell phones are beat as hell, especially when your stoned. feels like a damn leash. and just the idea that someone can ALWAYS get ahold of me is weird. plus i dont want brain cancer!
Haha, my parents NEVER call me on my cell. They don't know the number! And I don't have an annoying ring tone... I have it on vibe.
My phone has a really neat feature. They call it a power button. If you don't want your phone disturbing you, then turn the it off.
lol obviously i know i could turn it off, but i'd just get bitched out by someone later on when i didnt answer their 15 calls.
Whats the point in spending $300 (in most cases) to have a way people can contact you if they need you and then turning it off?
Yeah, you can always silent the call, so then you don't have to hear it. And you don't have to answer to people bitching that you didn't pick up, it's your fucking phone, you were busy. Parents on the other hand, that's a different story... How's the Claypool cd by the way?
just got me a summer ringtone Doin time by sublime.. but i love my cell fone its so easy to get ahold of every one n to get reached and i got it on me always and my mom hooks me up wit unlimited minutes anyway.. with out a cell i wuld be fukd
Yeah, I have my phone on vibrate. A cell phone nice for some situations. But I feel it really limits me the most of what I can do in the day because my mom can just call me at any time. Like say I wanna go tripping in the day. I gotta think of some excuse that I'm gunna either not answer the phone or have it turned off. I can easily sound sober when I'm baked, but not when I'm trippin' balls. So I'd rather just not have one, but that's not a choice, they makes me have one...
If someone is calling you 15 times during a smoking session they've got issues either a serious emergency or attention issues. 1. by 300 I don't know what you are talking about. Plenty of phones are available for cheap 20-50. and the annual service runs mid 400s so the 300 I just don't get. 2. Just b/c you have the phone for them to contact you or really for you to contact them does not mena you have to be available 24/7 you can easily turn it off for a couple of hours and let them leave a message.
dude my parents ALWAYS phone when im stoned. and i don't mean like an hour after a bowl, i mean like 5 minutes after a bowl, every time they phone. it's uncanny. today, instead of the 'phone call' from dad, he showed up at my place RIGHT as I was pulling in after going for a drive (and smoking two spliffs along the way). I could barely step out of the car I was so uncoordinated, and it was so difficult to have a decent conversation. pretty fuckin funny afterwards, but at the time it's always a pain in the ass to have to deal with.
I like my ring tone, its Us and Them so i like it when it rings, it also makes me feel like im loved....even though its usually one of my friends phoneing then as soon as i answer he flushes the toilet haha
Throw it in the sea. I've been free of that nasty device for a year and a half now and feel brilliant. Can be annoying when you really need to speak to someone but I don't regret getting rid of it one bit. You learn to adapt. I have written down numbers of phoneboxes all over my town anyway so if I desperately need to talk to someone I tell them I'll be by a certain callbox at a certain time. Get rid of them, they're unnecessary! I remember when no-one had them, oh my god, how did people live then?? People look at you as if you belong to some bizarre social underclass if you don't have a mobile phone and don't want one. To some it seems unfathomable why you would not want to be contacted 24/7 to me it seems strange why anyone would...
