but i really need it !!
i have been thinking about this since last couple a days. actually i haven't. But I have seen so many blog post start this way and always thought it kinda makes you sound more genuine about the post and shows that you have put in serious time and effort, even though what is going to follow is a post of how twitter is next big thing or how some new service is the twitter killer (latest wanna be killer being http://identi.ca/).
anyhoo. so this is what happened the last weekend, my friends in san jose wanted me to join them for the weekend. there were two cars going back to san jose, so i had no reason to take my own. fair enough. But somewhere deep down I had a feeling this was not a good idea. I was feeling uncomfortable. After I got my car, I had never been to any place without my car. I always had my car. This was so huge for me that my friend suggested that such a "big event" in my life deserves a blog post. Why I am so attached to my car. Well for one, I really like my car, so lets get that out of the way. But more importantly, its that if I have my car with me, I feel like I am in control or to put it differently makes me less dependent on anybody else. Which is big for me. Its like one of those things you really need to have with you when you are out of your house. With these things with you, you know you will be able to handle worst of the days. Same is for my wallet and my phone. I need to have my wallet and I need to my phone. With these two with me I feel I can overcome any extraordinary situations that may arise in the day. I just feels like I am in control of what can happen to me (ya..right..). And so true, the whole of my weekend, I kept feeling nervous uneasiness. As if something is missing, as if I was not guarded, as if i was vulnerable to sudden driving related emergencies. May be its just me and may be not. I like to think that there are people out there equally eccentric as me on this. May be, just may be.

I'm afraid to admit that a lot of people think like you. Just have a look outside, you'll quickly notice that roads are full off traffic jams made by people alone in their cars.. Why ? Maybe because as you said it, they get the feeling that they don't have control without their car or their portable or whatever..
I wonder if among them, there is some people trying to think in another way.. I hope so !
