Found Another Phone Activity...Finally

 Let's just say I'm not the target audience for most of the phone gaming apps out there. I hate games that get progressively harder to play the more you play them.

That's like 99% of the games that are available on phones. There's enough stress in everyday life out there--I don't need more coming from my phone, especially self-inflicted. Ive had games on my phone in the past that do not get tougher as you play. The problem is they're not popular. I know this because they don't get upgraded and when I download updates in my phone's operating system, the games go away. I can no longer play them. I've been looking for something else to do on my phone for a long time.

My wife and daughter downloaded a coloring app on their phones years ago. I've seen them using the apps, but I never thought it would be something I'd enjoy. Well, I decided to give it a try and it's been my most-used app ever since. Sure, there are adds you have to endure for other games I'll never download. And yes, there are times when I can't find the last speck of the picture to color, but that's not a big deal. So far, I've been extremely pleased with the product.

I have no idea if I'll continue with it or not. I may get bored and stop. I may try another app that does the same thing. Time will tell. But, for now, I think I'll stick with it and see what happens.

Why In The World Would I Snap A Picture Of This...?

 I snapped this screenshot of my phone sometime between 5am and 6am this morning. By just looking, you see a conclusion of the last Solitaire game I played. It wasn't my best effort--I was almost four minutes off the best time (I have no idea how many games are considered in these numbers...). I was two moves off tying the fewest moves.

The reason I snapped the picture really, is because of the win streak...12,345 games in a row. Combine that with the % of games won and you reach the obvious conclusion...

I've played this stupid game too many times.

So, why take a screenshot? Why "remember" the moment? It's a pretty unremarkable moment. I'll most likely never return to the picture. There's no real meaning behind it. It's one of over 30k in my digital library.

And that's probably why I snapped the picture.

It wasn't because I was waiting for the time when I could get up and go to work, but more because modern photography is digital...a picture is almost nothing. Adding almost nothing times 30k, it becomes something. I have so many pictures just like this, pictures I'll probably never see again, and if I I don't see them, there's no way others will, either.

This picture will mostly likely sit in a cloud somewhere (and now on this blog post, for as long as it exists...). These were some of the things I thought about as I couldn't fall back to sleep and waited for the work day to begin...a silly little picture is now the subject of a silly little post.
