Your Gadget (Iphone - Blackberry - PDA...etc) or Your Life/ Partner/Bfriend-Gfriend?
Why are people obsessed by their gadgets and worry about a cracked screen or a apps not working..etc.
Watch "into the Wild".....

“When a woman thinks that her house is on fire, her instinct is at once to rush to the thing which she values most. It is a perfectly overpowering impulse, and I have more than once taken advantage of it. . . . A married woman grabs at her baby; an unmarried one reaches for her jewel-box.”
-- Sherlock Holmes from A Scandal in Bohemia, by Arthur Conan Doyle

Bummer thread, was hoping it would be:
What is more important - to die beautiful or to die rich.

I agree with you....
the more fancy gadgets and nice stuff you own, the more stressful your life becomes and distracts you from what's important. It almost all adds unnecessary stress.

who has ever said a gadget is more important to them than their life partner? aren't you just setting up a situation that doesn't exist for the sake of argument?

i liked how the kid from into the wild, free from the distractions of the modern world, went happily on his quest, touching the hearts of everyone he met.

actually, no i don't, i think he was a spoilt cock portrayed as a saint in an over sentimental pile of wank masquerading as a true story.

my dog died the week before thanksgiving. it put me in a horrible funk, but the weird thing was how nice i started being towards everyone around me. I don't know if it was because I just couldn't bother wasting my breath on the mundane bullshit around me or if I started being nicer because I felt the needed to. I'm gradually getting back to my nasty old self, but I do find less time for the daily crap of my life and work more time in for the things that make a difference. Like making my gal smile, or giving my other dog something good to feel in the other one's absence.
Gadgets are cool. A warm puppy in your lap, well that's just freaking awesome.
