I’m currently struggling to live my life without my blackberry. It was fried during a software update last Monday afternoon. I’m convinved the PC I was using at the time is to blame. As a result of this horrific event, I’ve been forced to live my life outside of my usual means of connectivity. I have to check my emails by going online and signing in to gmail, I have none of my contacts stored in the loner phone they gave me so I have no real way of calling anyone, my voice mail seems to be disconnected, and I can’t get Miley Cyrus’s Twitter updates as frequently as I like. I might as well be trapped in Northern Canada in an ice fishing shack.

Today, as a result of this, I took a bus into Stouffville on faith that someone would be around to drive me to the church. As it turns out, nobody was available. I then made the 6.9 km trek, heavy laptop bag in tow, to the church from my dining spot in downtown Stouffville. I got some exercise and I had the company of Chuck Klosterman IV on my ipod but I can’t help but feel this could all have been avoided if I had my phone. Telus, I hate you for making me wait 5-10 business days and giving me no clearer or reassuring advice than that.

Since I feel proud of myself though for actually getting to work, I thought I would chronicle my journey with google maps.

The funniest thing to me is that it’s only a 9 minute drive by car. I think it took me an hour and 10 minutes.
