caught

phong recently got a new phone; not just a new phone, but an extremely fancy phone that has television on it. everytime i see a commercial for a phone with television, i think to myself, buy a BOOK! like, call me an old fuddy duddy, but do we really need television everywhere we go? is it not enough that every middle- and upper-class person aged 20-40 has an ipod plugging up their ears 24 hours a day (myself included)? do we really have to have sound and sight distracting us at all times? yet i digress.

phong's new fancy televisionphone also has--get this--a camera in it with camcorder capabilities. now i know that this is nothing new, but considering that the phone i use is a four-year-old nokia that people make fun of me for every time i use it, cameraphones are still pretty new technology to me. and phong got some memory card for it that's like smaller than my pinky nail but can hold gads of pictures and movies.

what does this all mean, dear readers? it means that at any given time i could be having my picture taken or, worse, a video made of me. now don't get me wrong; i do, in fact, thirst for the attention of paparazzi who make it their only job to chase me around with cameras, selling my pictures to magazines like us weekly and life and style who have to know what brand of flip-flops i wear or which starbucks i go to. so, i guess, pictures (and videos) like these are just giving me a taste of what that will be like:




yep, that's me in the hospital, then me drunk. then ashli dancing funnily and then me fishing for a compliment from amanda. what have i learned from phong's new toy? watch what you say, watch how you look. because you never know when you'll be on camera.
