Just a rant,

Why is it everything I do is wrong?? Or get shouted/moaned at for?? And if I do something "right" I get mocked for it??

I mean today... I got told to throw away my shoes because they mark the floor too much! Ok fair enough, give me some money towards a new pair of shoes then...

Today I got shouted at for something that happened in the kitchen even though I hardly left my room, bar making a cup of tea! I don't have a clue what I did wrong there!! And then 30 mins later got asked if I wanted to go to tesco. My honest opinion, I had no reason to go... Simply put, I said no. Then I get shouted at for not wanting to go and sit in a van on the 30 min journey to tesco just to wonder the aisles looking at the various offers that will be there week in and week out, with minor differences o course!

Other times I get shouted at because I don't have a clue where people are!

I go out, wondering around the boring streets on this crappy island, to get home and then confronted by my brother simply asking a stupid question "where's mom?"
My simple answer.. "I don't know." In my mind, why the heck don't you find out for yourself?
"Humph! Why don't you know! Didn't you go out with mom?" And then gets angry!

Anyways I'll start doing somthing then get told "do this" or "get that" uhhh no shit... I was doing/getting that ALREADY!!! And I will then find out that its my fault if I got it out already!! Geeeezzzzz!!!

I'll get told to shut up if I talk too much or point out simple points... And then if I stay silent, mainly because I simply have nothing to say... I'll get shouted at because I'm not speaking.
Once on the motorway, I point out "you've missed the exit!"
"Oh shut up! I'm following the sat nav!" Then a long while later... *realising his mistake* "why the fuck didn't you tell me earlier!"

Cooking my dinner... Day before I cook a loada food that includes veg etc... Mom sees me cooking this. Next day, I cook somthing simple, doesn't really have any veg in it... "Why don't you ever cook any veg/greens!! Every day you eat the same food, so unhealthy, etc" including a long lecture on the importance of greens/veg. Ugggghhhhh mind melts... *shut up you saw what I made y'day! Didn't say anything then*

Other things; e.g. I'll finish doing somthing that I feel will help or make things go quicker... And the reply that I get.. "Awww michael your so "clever" how did you know that doing this/that will help etc."

Simple fact of my life, whatever happens I can't win! I'll just end up a miserable sod that has nothing to look forward to, and will die because of pent up stress!! Yay go me!!

Mobile phones.

How many of you remember the time before mobile phones were accessible as easily as today?? I mean in the modern world that we live in we can now buy a phone for about £5. And with this will most likely come with ether £1, £5, or £10 depending on the network you sign up with, or the offer available.

For me before the mobile phone arrived within our household (and I remember the VERY first mobile our house got... and the second... because the first one was faulty.) my way of letting my mum know was by telling her FACE to FACE!! (none of this texting or phone downstairs malarkey!) Basically I would say “I’m going out on my bike.” And my mum would know that this basically means ok, fair enough. Enjoy! She would also know that I would be back home BEFORE 6, 6:30pm. With this I was able to explore carefree around my island, not worrying about a single thing, or having to let people know where I am constantly etc!

So, here is the mobile phones that we’ve (family) /I’ve used:

Similar to Sagem DC-735 (can’t find exact model)
This was our VERY first mobile phone, and it was on the Vodafone network. We purchased from Tesco for, I think was about £70-80. This phone was faulty when we got home and tested it!


Motorola d520
Our second phone, purchased from the Orange shop for £70. Sort of still works, needs new battery, charger, and a new screen... in the box.


Motorola Timeport L7089.
This was a loan phone that we got when we went on a holiday in Hong Kong many moons ago.


NEC db4000
My very mobile phone, just for me! Mum purchased this from Safeway (now Morrisons) for my birthday. A week later, this was stolen from me. End of mobile phone. (I think the box is around somewhere still though!!)


Nokia 3210
This was a classic phone! I did use this phone for a while. I still have it! Now lives in a box under my bed, as do a number of other mobile phones.


Nokia 3310
This phone my Mum bought it from a charity shop (faulty, surprise surprise.) I took it apart, gave it a clean and a new battery, and it worked. Still sort of works but needs a new speaker... in the box!


Nokia 7250i
My First purchased phone! 2004 I bought this in Hong Kong for quite a bit. This was Nokia’s VERY first camera phone! And was sold against the Sony Ericsson T610. This was one of my main phones, and was last used in Hong Kong 2011. In the box still works!!


Nokia 7110
I bought this phone off eBay because it’s a classic “matrix” phone. I used it for a while and it still works. In the box!


Nokia 6170
This phone was given to me as a gift from my Auntie. I did use it for a while. But it has a few cracks, and is faulty now. Does not pick up signal. It’s in its own box.


Nokia N70
This was one of my main phones and this does still work. I even put sat nav on this phone! Didn’t really use it though! In the box.


Samsung A300
I did use this phone for a couple of weeks. In the box


Sony Ericsson T100
This was another loan phone in Hong Kong. It was ok. Apparently my auntie got it “free” with something.


Orange SPV C500/ Qtek 8010
This was my main phone before the Nokia 7250i. I do still have this phone and it works! However as i cannot remember the password i set on it i cannot use it! In the box!


Motorola KRZR K1
Mum bought this phone and used it for a short while, did not like it. She gave it to my cousin for a present. And it went through a full cycle in a washing machine!


Nokia 5000
My mum wanted a new phone as she was using the 3310. She bought this in the Woolworths closing down sale! She used it for a while, decided she didn’t like it and so it is living in my box!


HTC Hero/T-Mobile G2
This is my current main phone! I have dropped it in a big jug of water!! But the phone still works! Deciding if I should get a new phone of keep this phone when I get to change my mobile contract!


Nokia 2323c
This phone I bought in America when I was on holiday there! (Walmart) In the box!


Blackberry Bold 9700
I wanted to see what a Blackberry was like, so i bought this phone! I actually love the keyboard! So easy to type with! Much better than a touch screen keyboard! Being used at the moment!


So this is my mobile phone history so far! Looking back there is quite a few! I’m sure that lots of people might have had more or less mobile phones than me. From this I have gathered that I do like the keypad on a phone! But I also like the touch screen when I’m internet browsing! I also like that in the old days, the Nokia chargers fitted most models of their brand.
So in my opinion and these are ALL my own opinions each make/model of mobile phone has each their own advantages and disadvantages.

e.g.
iPhone.
Yes: touch screen, good browser, fast CPU, apps.
No: lack of Keyboard, too “apple” (if you know what I mean?)

Blackberry.
Yes: Keyboard, apps.
No: slower internet browsing, CPU (a bit slower)

HTC.
Yes: good browser, CPU, apps, HTC sense.
No: keyboard (majority), release too many different versions of the “same” basic phone.

So if you’ve reached the end of this and you are not bored, I congratulate you! Give yourself a pat on the back!! Now please leave me a comment?!?

Much love!!
