How to lose an iPhone

So I have an iPhone, and it is probably the most useful thing I own (especially when traveling to cities that I have never been too). But yesterday, my world began spiraling out of control in a matter of moments when I was standing in line at the post office and REALIZED THAT MY PHONE WAS NOT IN MY POCKET! So as a public service, here are the steps to losing an iPhone on the bus:

1) Wear athletic shorts. Their loose pockets that have a steep angle of descent while seated (in lets say a bus seat) make it easy for the phone to slip out.

2) While riding the bus, realize that when you wear these shorts in the car your phone falls out. Mentally note to check for the phone when you get up.

3) Get off the bus, dismissing your previous thoughts regarding phones falling out of pockets.

In case you rock at sarcasm, this is how I did it, so it must work pretty well! I then proceeded to sprint at the speed of light to catch the bus, and the bus driver handed my phone to me when I uttered the words "I left my..." - THANK GOD! Mr. Bus Driver even called one of my friends and told him the bus number and stuff - way to go Valley Metro!

Take it from a seasoned pro: please secure your cell phone before disembarking from any public transportation vehicle (unless you are looking for a surprise dose of cardiovascular exercise).

Lost luggage

Ever wonder what happens to bags at the airport that nobody picks up? Well, I can not confirm nor deny what classification this mountain of bags falls under, but I saw it while at the bus stop at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. 

It did strike me that most of them were colored red..... interesting.

And so it begins...

Dear Internet,

My name is Randy, and I don't know if you are ready for me. I have always wanted to write a blog, but have never thought of the right way to approach it. Do I casually talk about the goings on of my day? Do I share my view of the world with the world? Do I use pseudonyms in place of my real friends' names? Well, I have settled upon a premise.

Since I am a sociable, outspoken, traveler type, I think that the premise of this whole blog thing will be the ins and outs of what occurs in my little piece of this world. I will notify you of the drama-filled cell phone conversation I overheard on the bus, I will use my iPhone and its amazing photo quality to capture the beauty of this planet when I encounter it, I will pass along news that I find of merit, and I will try to keep it as fresh and entertaining as possible.

So Internet, I think we have a deal: you will host this blog as long as it rocks. If it doesn't rock, then I think I might just have to stick with my other antics. Have a great night, and stay classy.
