Blackberry water damage woes

So, last night I went to a keg party and I had my week old blackberry curve sitting on a little table next to the keg while I was playing beer pong so that I would see and hear it if it rang because my friend was on her way and would be calling soon for directions. So, mid game this guy who’s a friend of a friend walks by and bumps this little table on his way to the keg and my black berry goes flying off the table and lands in this big bucket of melted ice that the keg was chilling in. Someone goes “what’s that?” and I realize oh snap its my cell phone!

Of course the dude is all like oh man I’m so sorry about that I’ll make it up to you blah blah. At this point I’m a little drunk, and on this night I was a pretty happy drunk so I was like dude calm down this is not worth ruining a game of beer pong over just forget about it I probably have insurance, its cool. So I reach for my friends phone and call my friend who’s on their way to let them know my phones fried and they had to call this number instead.

Hours go by and the party dies down so we roll out, go on a ride, and instead of going home I got dropped off at another friends house so I could use their phone to call Verizon… Yeah I called Verizon Wireless about my broken phone at like 5am to find out that I cancelled my insurance back in august of 08. YIKES! So, I try to talk them into just charging me insurance from the time my insurance got “accidentally cancelled” to now because that would be cheaper than having to pay full price for a blackberry curve. Well even though I know they were willing to do this in the past the person I was talking to claimed that was not an option, but after speaking to his supervisor he determined that because my phone was newer than 15 days old I could get insurance even after the fact.

I add the insurance, stumble to a little breakfast joint and order some shit on a shingle, which was banging! Then I ride with my friend while he takes his girlfriend to work in his brothers car with 4 12 inch subs in the back, man lil wayne songs sound so much better when you cant hear his voice over the bass! I think I am now a fan… kinda. My favorite lil wayne line still is “I wake up take a piss and wash my hands” ah, at least he’s educating the youth on proper hygiene. So anyway after the lil wayne bass ride I get dropped off at home and sleep it off, wake up and call the phone insurance company and apparently I have to wait until Monday because Verizon hasn’t notified them of my insurance policy yet. Fingers crossed!

Oh and on another but similar note I was told that if I leave my battery out and let my phone dry for a day or two that I might be able to get it to work again, but that if I tried to turn it on before it was totally dry that it could possibly ruin it forever because water and electricity don’t mix and some circuits would short out or something. Well I was drunk and impatient so of course after a few hours I put the batter back in and tried to turn the phone on, lol. It lit up a little and stuff but I’m pretty sure its fried. So I hit up Google to see what my options were and one tip I found that speeds up the drying process that I wish I had known about before I was stupid enough to try to turn on and finish frying my phone was rather interesting, but makes sense. The method is you put your wet phone in a bag or a bowl with dry rice, and the rice absorbs the moisture which results in your phone drying faster. Good stuff… I’ll have to remember that next time my phone decides to go for a swim.



BTW, I probably wont have a phone for a few days… catch me on the webz or in the streets.

Friends dont let friends pop collars

I've known Todd for a long time over the internet and his site ToddIsBored.com when it used to be a blog back b4 I knew what the word blog meant inspired me to start playing with html and create my first website.

Yeah, um whattttt? I dunno, don't judge us... if you are new to crazy people on the internet then maybe this blog isn't for you.

I got burned by a movie

So one night I got talked into swiping my paypal debit card at a redbox machine and my friend and I rented the movie Kush. Now if you are familiar with what this movie is about you know that Kush by definition is supposed to be some good shit. Well this movie was shit alright, but not good. It actually starts out pretty great other than the crappy acting. The thing that not only ruined this movie for me but killed me a little inside was that half way through it basically turns into the movie Alpha Dog which is just messed up because that movie is lame too. Now, the reason I say this movie burned me is because not only was it a disappointment that reminded me of another movie that sucked (Alpha Dog) but it also never got returned because people (myself included) are stupid and anyway I got charged and now own a copy of this lame movie on DVD. Yeah, lame, right? What's lamer is I never ever ever rent movies... I always get them online one way or another or through Netflix. So after this latest experience I think I will stick to online only when it comes to paying (or not paying) for media.

Who knew baby gates could be such a challange?

So it was just brought to my attention that putting together a babygate might not be as simple as one would think... Personally I don't care enough to try to help my rather simple minded friend. I figured I'd laugh and blog about it instead because I need filler posts for this here mobile blog anyway. Besides what else would I do while watching someone put together a baby fence? So now she says she thinks ya need a degree in carpentry to put this thing together... Jesus didn't go to college!

I say we scrap the babygate idea and just make a crazy lookin mess out of it and put it in the corner! Aint no babies in this house anyway. Yes this entire post was pointless, enjoy!

First post via blackberry

So I got woken up this morning by a txt msg from one of my friends that had to go meet with a lawyer and stop by the post office this morning. Now I know that doesn't sound like much fun and really its not... And we didn't even make it to the lawyers office! Instead I went and picked my uncles vehicle up and dropped it off at the repair shop for him. Oh the excitement!
