Mobile Phones : Necessity or nuisance

I wrote this article to get an internship at Gk but it wasn't good enough but I figure I'll post it here in a way to keep it so I can look back on it and see if there is growth.

Mobile Phones; Necessity or Nuisance


Here in my hands lay the revolutionary device, a notion pushed into actuality by a Motorola employee named Martin ‘Marty’ Cooper (Doesn’t he just put you in the mind of Doc from the back to the future franchise, it’s the lush grey beard I’m almost sure). So after Mr. Alexander Graham Bell made the telephone somebody out there, maybe a fretful husband moaned about how he wished he could call his wife because he forgot what was on the grocery list and boom the idea was released into the universe all that was left was to deliver. The first public telephone call placed on a portable cellular phone was in April 3, 1973 by Mr. Cooper himself. (Let me go on Instagram real quick I’m posting it for throwback Tuesday).My inner fretful husband just wants to thank Mr. Cooper for upping my survival state. To you and your team of engineers much thanks. Millennials I’m sure you share the same sentiment.
Fast forward to the future and the talk of the town now is whether it is needed or not. The battle between swift and efficient communication versus imposed physical isolation, GPS versus lack of privacy, the power of knowledge at our finger tips versus the lackadaisical attitude nurtured, attention to details on the screen of our phones versus conversations at dinner and family time. Oooh and if my mother ever starts up on radiation we might as well call this discussion a wrap. Haruki Murakami a popular contemporary Japanese writer and translator said “Cell phones are so convenient that they're an inconvenience.”  But this is the guarantee with all technology. They all have drawbacks. Every year, from rudimentary telephones such as the candlestick and the rotary phone, to the first coin operated telephone, to push button phones and now to touch screen phones, engineers and inventors have tried to perfect it all but soon realized that with every improvement there was a new negative to fight.

And that is simply what mobile phones are, an advantage with a disadvantage all in a slim package with sleek designs and powerful cameras, the opportunity to reply to my emails in real time, study my slides for my assignments on the go, shop and pay my bills online with the experience of dry or irritable eyes, blurred vision, eye fatigue, or head, neck and back pain.With this in mind and our inventors hard at work on how to go green for the next release or how to get rid of said itchy eyes whilst battling the accelerating change in technology, our mission should you choose to accept it (judge away just know that there is a mission impossible soundtrack playing in the background) is to find means and methods to negate the thought and proof that mobile phones are a nuisance. So we make sure that we are not on our phones all day, we do eye exercises once we slip them in our pockets and bags, we schedule time for our friends and family and live in the moment. We stave of those high levels of anxiety, stress and dissatisfaction with our lives by realizing that our mobile phones with all its wonders are not the ‘be -all end- all’. It is simply a device we use within our lives so eat, sleep, exercise and laugh when your mom calls you on your phone to meet her in the living room for quality time. For mobile phones are what you make them.

How to get away with murder episode 6

Lawd my heart is never prepared. Sandal had already robbed me of my breath AND I wanted to pee my gosh Shonda have mercy on us please.


  • Rebecca is definitely without a doubt not afraid of Vi and I kind of love it while Vi hates it. Did you peep her trying to be slick talking bout this what they'll say about you. You know her subconscious is mad about the entire situation.
  • Asher needs to call that trophy blankie and just go home.
  • Connor and his voodoo penis needs to stop and I hope when he and Oliver gets back together Oliver punishes that ass.
  • Yallll that black piece of hershey chocolate that stepped out of Oliver's apartment talking about he's in the shower I was like yesssss deliver that heartbreak in style.
  • Detective side peen hey how you doing good sir. You look like you have plans. You definitely not basic.
  • I was bored with Pratt's prenup.
  • Rebecca that play with the girls I enjoyed it thoroughly but I still don't like you.
  • Somebody said that Viola and her wig had more chemistry than Rebecca and Wes and after I took myself off the floor I had to agree but Wes BEEN waiting on that puss and it must have been good because they both defend each other like it was golden.
  • Prom queen and that sturdy porch support.
  • Team Frank's beard from day one.
  • Whoever splice  the autopsy scene and the sex scene. Sir/Madam I applaud you and want to shake your hand in person.
  • Bonnie just come like that quiet person that's ready to blow you away in a horrible, probably mentally unstable way. Trust me I'm just bracing myself for whatever its going to be and is she living with Vi and Sam because she's ALWAYS there?!
  • Sam the nookie you looking for will never again be found by you.
  • Miss dead in the water was pregnant with Sam's kid after Viola was just mentioning her miscarriages as in plural. I was sitting down but I sat down again and I just held my head in my hands just to stop the dizziness the damn show gave me.
  • To the lady who played Vi I couldn't help but respect you.
p.s. obviously these flashbacks will never be moved to the day time so I cannot wait until everything meets up.

Twitter thank you for all the memes you've given me for this show. My abdominal muscles also thank you

How to get away with Murder episode 5

Bruh! After the last episode ending and being fraught with emotions I feel a bit left out but another variable could be that I didn't get the chance to watch it with my twitter family.

Lets get into it shall we


  • I feel like the switches between emotionally ugly Viola and pretty Viola was deliberate and I enjoyed the hell out of it.
  • Prom queen has now shifted off my nerves and is walking steadily beside it. I commend you ma'am I did not think it was possible.
  • Frank love please go and have a seat look for somewhere called the 'No sex zone' and don't you dare do anything for prom queen
  • Let me tell you all shows nowadays HAVE to have in a cheating aspect but this show is taking all those aspects and shoving it down our throats. These hoes are not loyal.
  • Bonnie BELONGS on CBS's Stalker and also in a hospital for the mentally ill.
  • I did appreciate that 'stay in your lane before you can't drive' talk given to Bonnie. I rubbed my hands together in absolute glee.
  • When side-pieces get married. Viola better write that novel and give it this title.
  • Why are cheaters mad about cheating. I am failing to understand the logic behind it all.
  • No Oliver this episode. Of course I am sad about it.
  • Cop violence is bad just like every other bad thing. 
  • Rebecca stole the man's two slice and said thanks. That's how you know Wes  wants her. She's lucky she didn't get cussed out.
  • I have NEVER loved a side piece like how I love Detective side peen. He just knows what he's about. He is a delicious change from Fitz and Liv
  • Viola if you don't lock that damned door! cho!
  • The wallpaper y'all the wallpaper. To all dick pic takers you better write down that tip
  • Wes in this hoody tho I snickered

How to get away with Murder episode 4

The advertisement for this episode was her last nine words and let me tell you I don't think anybody was prepared.

Shall we begin


  • Sir who literally sat OFF that ledge to his death was so bereft he didn't even want to see the ground coming up. My already weak heart was shot to hell
  • Enough with this prom queen and Frank drama. Why he is jealous if students are his thing there will be a next batch man. He was just so in his feelings in that kitchen.
  • Oliver my baby you are so sweet and you deserve all the goodness this show has to offer and I applaud you for your little backbone you displayed. Yes you better kick his non commitment having ass out. *singsong* Bye bye playa playa
  • Con my second boo somebody called you Thotimus Prime on twitter and I feel like you must address that issue man and not only run to Oliver when you have messed up. Side note what err umm exactly did you do to Pax's butt that made him tear up? yours truly straight and curious Jane lolz.
  • Wes your confuzzlement is being transferred to me because your relationship with Becs is soo confusing to me
  • CHARMAINE!! I lived for you and your pussies
  • Detective side peen you were watched by miss blondie assistant of whom (or should it be who) I will now start calling by her name because she earned it with that scene.... Bonnie Winterbottom girl I did not know you had it in you pat on the back
  • Viola you better strip down like your 5 to 11 is done and you are ready for a bubble bath yessss. I called it the 'the mask of a black woman'. Collect your Oscar
  • So let me add some flava to the last nine words. They were as follows also I try not curse but assume they are there. Here goes 'Bae why the beep is your beeping peen on the beep dead beep girl's beep beep beep phone? Now in actuality Vi was calm as all get out with her questioning, even her natural eyelashes were bleeding that kind of silent calm anger. Newly weds you better examine your man's penis if that mole looks like Joan Rivers you better know
Yet again I'm tired and amped....Scandal was also too good for me not to say something
  • Fitz and Liv go away please
  • Jake I will cry for you
  • Abby address your issues. They are putting you into your lane and the lane of young babes and I do not approve
  • Mellie I'm going to be insensitive right now but you'll thank me. It is time you grieve with a little under eye concealer on
  • Fitz you litlle pissy tail boy I am so glad Mellie put you in your place but NEVER you tell her that she should be glad that Liv is in her home helping her kids that slid out of her vaginal hole you little arrogant punk. She let you go but she will not let go of her place and her kids remember that

How to get away with Murder episode 3

Let me tell you Thursdays always throw me off my groove. I am tired before Scandal and HTGAWM and when its over I have way too much adrenaline coursing through my veins so I cannot sleep and Fridays I wake late feeling like I've run a marathon.

Onwards to my form of recap. Pulling up my twitter as I type.


  • That intro scene was so artistic to me. Idk the skin colours and the sheet colours just spoke volumes to my wanna be creative self.
  • I did think Viola's wig was better this episode but according to the few hundred jokes I've read the world disagrees.
  • I love Connor for what he is and that is a slut flying his slut flag high. Also he was so wrong and right for that boarding school juicy titbit. I mean I did snicker at Pratt's clear discomfort and anger for the situation but lawd she was going to call off the wedding. Her Vera Wang speech really spoke to me though.
  • Where the heck was Oliver during that entire episode not even a little 'hello I know we had some dim sum in exchange for some fun but I have Italian *enter cheesy sex line that rhymes with Italian*. Boo.
  • Miss blonde assistant was so tense and unhappy during this episode. She needed all kinds of sex or a little bit of masturbation. She was so snappy to me. Did y'all see her pleading eyes during that scene with Sam I rolled my eyes and yawned.
  • Viola has the most complex clients ever. I kid you not. I mean I knew mama hooker wasn't just a plain hooker but mama bomber are you freaking kidding me no form of warning those cops jeeps just pulled up like they were chasing a drunk driver who moonlights as a serial killer and then that wasn't the end of it ma'am high-tailed it out of dodge leaving her husbands and kids without so much of a 'welp I'm gonna go' geez lady
  • They were so many unloved husbands/boyfriends in this episode. My heart went out.
  •  Idk Detective side peen's game and it makes me uncomfortable but I do hope they make his character a little more complex.A dash of subterfuge would be lovely.
  • This flashback Pratt is yet again a newborn babe. Her supposed hardiness was slipping right from under her and she lost her engagement ring in the midst of it all. I would have slapped her so hard she would have found it. Just saying
  • I do love how between the past and present Pratt and Wes characters dramatically change also the annoying rich  daddy's boy wasn't there so I'm pleased.
  • I'm not here for Rebecca and that quarterback's drama. They could both go to jail and there wouldn't be any possible way that I could care more than this zero level that I am at right now.
  • I dislike small town prom queen. To prove it I haven't learnt her name. She and rich daddy's boy need to got sit down. Frank was upset for naught
  • I would not have given Wes the trophy no sir. I felt like Viola could have said well alrighty then great speech boy but nope she gave him the trophy for ousting a client plans to a non client. It makes me wonder is she sucking up to help hide her secret, does she see herself in him, did she lose a son and he reminds her of him or does she want to do the nasty with him. I do not like their r/s.
Does anyone know of any technique to stay quiet during these episodes. I feel like I'm going to receive complaints soon.

How to get away with murder episode 2

Lawd I am so slow on these updates but anyhoodles I have decided to stick with just writing about How to get away with murder. I feel like I would get my emotions out better if I just focus on one but I will be tweeting about it and scandal so check me out at chickwithakink

Lets get into it in the particular order that I remember my points

1. Mr. murder sir you gave me all kinds of chills throughout the entire show. When he had Connor on the bed at the crime scene showing how he killed his wife I was like sir please stop I feel like I'm watching good porn and when Viola (lets face it I keep on forgetting to call her Keating) asked if he murdered his first wife and he blinked his eyes, did a little smirk and said yes I was like sir again stop with the sex vibes.

2. Rebecca and her so called grunge look chile if you don't just stop. Three little cornrows/canerows at the side and enough black eye shadow and mascara to dent Mac's product numbers (or was it black shoe polish) doth not make your look grunge. I felt like I wanted to look her up and down, walk over, pat her hand, say no then shove her head under the sink.

3. Wes is in that failed grunge look cooch like SIR! WHY! OF ALL THE COOCHIES OUT THERE! smh I was so hurt man when they did their time spin and flung us to the future and showed us.  Wes being a leader on behalf of Miss Rebecca just hurt my soul.

4. Those time spins need to hurry up and stop or at least shift to day time I feel like I'm watching a free movie off the internet.

5. Viola your wig was a solid 'No' like nopety nope nope. It wasn't for you.

6. Side peen was like listen you are too messy I only like sex messy and you are crazy messy so no thank you and also umm errr umm you coming to your boyfriend about your husband that's TOO messy buh bye please. To all the ladies doing balancing acts out there I know you could empathize with this scene. There are just sometimes you want to talk to your boo about your hubby. I get it I understand.

7. Miss blondie assistant looked like she wants to or was screwing Sam and ofc I approved Frank and Viola cant be the only messy people in the place. Oh and ofc Sam is sticking his willie where he wants with that dead student and or Rebecca. Why in the world were you upset Viola I understand NAUGHT as to why you have any type of feelings I mean you get your jollies from being meals to bald headed, black men. (Yes I'm doing a Tamar head roll complete with mouth pursing right now).

8. And btw thank you for teaching me about how sex spills secrets and maam if that was your indicator then obviously Sam knew about your SHAT ages ago.

9. What the actual chizz are you doing in Wes's personal space Miss Viola sometimes I feel like its an actress little mistake because God forbid its an actual thing that you are going to build on. Don't let me throw up this breakfast I just had.

10.There's a theory about Frank being the previous tenant living in Wes's room but bruh did you see those freak marks do yall think Frank gets down to the nitty gritty like that because I don't. A man who targets the students who work under him is a man who needs his ego stroked. There are never freak marks present in ego stroking.

11. OLIVER IS MY BABY. Directors I beg of you make him substantial. Give him his recurring role. Make this happen please.

Let me know what y'all think. Also let me know who is on my 'SAY NO TO GRUNGE COOCH' team
