GHETTO!

Wanna know something funny? I've been trying doggedly since October to get a real cell phone, BUT I KEEP FAILING THE CREDIT CHECK.

I find this hilarious. I own a house but I can't get a friggin' Verizon calling plan! Guess I'm stuck with this pre-pay ghettofone indefinitely. I'm debt free, I make more Hamiltons than I ever have, and I can't get a cell phone. The system makes no sense. I asked my financial planner for advice, and he was like "You need to get into debt again. That'll raise your score." Eh?

I can't wait until the next time someone in L.A. says "Hey, you should get a Sidekick or a Treo to manage all your shit." Because then I can reply "I would, but I keep failing the credit check."
