Blackberry 10 is intriguing this non-techie

New gadget’s don’t normally impress me anymore at a month shy from 40. I was happy with my (then cool) flip phone and the occasional multiple button push (44 (H) pause 444(i)) text message I would send on it. I rarely talked on a phone anyway.

Love is Forever

Remember the good, embrace what this romance taught you about life and yourself, and adore them always for the gift they gave you.
