Smart phones and Smart cars

My boyfriend has an Android smart phone. He has downloaded 1000 songs and 100 apps. Oh, and he has access to email and the Internet. My boyfriend can do all these things on his phone's ample touch screen, or if his fingers are tired (especially the pesky little deformed one), he has voice command. He can also stream hours and hours of video, which he does, but not porn as it's a company phone. My phone is stupid.

 I do, however, have a Smart car fortwo. My previous car is stupid but not as stupid as its owner. I killed that dumb car. And, on the very same day, as I attempted to access the Internet to research my options for new wheels, I discovered that my bare-bones laptop was dead too.

 So, back to my selection of a Smart car. It was an informed decision - which is unusual. My brother has one, and as a frequent passenger, I can attest to the car's solid as a rock structure and smooth ride despite it's small size. I initially fell in love with the adorably diminutive cars in France where they are ubiquitous. It has always been a dream of mine to own one. And, although a lot of annoying shit went down in order for me to get one, I love my Smart car. I hope the smartness of the car will rub off on me, but, alas it may take some time. Yesterday, I locked my keys inside my house. There are a lot reasons why my car is smart, and as my intellect improves, I will be able to tell you all about them.

 Back to my boyfriend and his Smart phone. Although, his Android is no doubt a brain child, there are a few not so smart and unknown features. Namely, the accidental push of the wrong key causes the phone to randomly sends text messages declaring that its owner is "driving" (dangerous behavior while also texting which is illegal in some states ergo not so smart) or "at the cinema" - huh?
