Sometimes I feel like Aurthur Spooner on King of Queens.

Do you remember the episode where he gets a cell phone?

He's so excited about the idea of sitting in a cafe' like all the hip people and getting calls.  Five minutes into his first experience to the coffee house, he realizes that there is no one that is going to call him.  He becomes frustrated by the idea that he is not important or that he has no friends that would want to reach him randomly during the day or evening.

Often I have these flashes to Aurthur throughout my day. 

I leave my office to pee and the first thing I do is check my phone for calls or text messages.  I get my daughter ready for bed and on my way through the kitchen with her cup, I press the button to see if I have anything. 

Sometimes, I have a text and am pleasantly surprised.

Other times...there is nothing, and I feel for a brief moment insignificant.  Alone.  It makes me sad.  but then again when people text me back and forth, I get irritated...so I guess it's a catch twenty two situation.

I just think about Aurthur sometimes....
