Graf #5 "things"

This is going to sound wierd cause I know most people wrote about personal "things" from childhood or an emotional "thing" that made an impression in someones life. Well dont expect that from me today 'cause im going to write about something "materialistic" to me. (if that is even a word)
Yesterday as I was walking back from getting my bus pass, in the downtown, I had to walk by the bridges to get to my house. I was so busy, hurrying along the sidewalk trying to keep time on my side. All of a sudden I was sidetracked with the beauty of the river and the ice that has formed through the canal. I stopped for a moment to look at the beautiful scene. There was so much ice and the way it had frozen was like it was strategically placed in the canal perfectly. I noticed there was small twigs and various debris that had frozen in place. I gazed at the sheets of ice that were stacked almost on top of one another. It reminded me of the titanic because of the way the ice had frozen, I thought "well if a ship could come thru here it would probably hit an iceberg and sink." Nice thought, huh? Well I didn't mean literally, but the idea is there.
The whole idea of this story is this.....While I was looking at the canal of ice under the bridge, I immediately thought to grab my handy dandy cell phone. The cell that I got for x-mas was the top of the line. It has a great camera on it, with excellent digital quality. It has an mp3 that has all of my favorite artists and cool playlists. It has pics of my family, friends and pet rats. It basically has everything I ever needed for electronic devices on the go. Boy how I love technology today. Getting back to the story....Well I ended up whipping out my cameraphone and snapping shots of the river. All the while scurrying along to keep my busy schedule for school and work...I happen to think that is really convenient....to me at least.
