The other night, I went out with my buddy Dom. We've been good friends since college and his coworker was celebrating her birthday over happy hour. It was a crazy scene mixed with all different groups of people.
When I arrived, I was too busy ordering a drink and trying to get acclimated, but Dom noticed it right away...
That's right, someone was pulling The Blackberry Move!
We’ve all been there. You’re in a group setting and for whatever reason, at that given moment you just can't seem to vibe with anyone. It's not enjoyable and soon you start to feel disconnected and uncomfortable.
So who can you turn to? Your Blackberry, of course.
When you're on the phone, it's the ultimate escape. You could be organizing plans, receiving unexpectedly great news, or on the verge of closing a lucrative business deal... The sky's the limit.
However, The Blackberry Move is just a temporary fix.
Most of the time, we'd much rather be involved in what's going on around us. Dom knew this and immediately lent a hand to the person in need by including them. You could tell that it was appreciated.
We should always keep our eyes open for The Blackberry Move and be ready to throw out a life boat. That's Sprezzatura.

ReplyDeleteEff that.
ReplyDeleteIf you're a victim to the crackberry move, even Brat Pitt's life boat cannot lure you away from the brickbreaker score that you just HAVE to beat.
Brickbreaker = best game ever!
