iProblem.

This is kind of a non-sequitur, but is it just me or does it seem like every wanna-be beatnik and fake hippie that I see everywhere has an iPhone?

I have no problem with the iPhone and if you gave me one I would use the hell out of it (I get lost a lot and some quick and easy GPS would rock my socks off), but it just seems to me that there is something philosophically anachronistic about some of the people that I see using iPhones all the hell over the place.

I’m not bitching right now. I have not yet formulated exactly what about this whole thing bothers me, but this faux grunge rocker in my poetry class was all busy with his iPhone in class and I realized that last weekend at this fancy bar Downtown I saw a poser with a full-on Mohawk and leather jacket fingering his iPhone. Is there anything less punk rock than an iPhone? Let me answer for you: no, no there is not. Kittens are more punk rock than iPhones.

Anyway, I’m sure that we will return to this one day soon when I can better articulate. So look forward to that I guess.

Am I coming across like a curmudgeon right now? Do you find that sexy?
