Texting


I haven't put out a new blog in while because I was fine with the way things had been running. Nothing was out of the ordinary. The President was being C avg. like always and the country is slipping into more oil problems, but besides that everything seemed to be fine. Until I was on my usual morning commute when my friend started talking about texting. This was pretty early in the morning so I was already quite tired and didn't feel like hearing AIM speak for 30 minutes so I started on a tirade about how texting is for people who have money but don't want to spend it on 30 seconds talking on the phone but would rather spend it on trying to break the world text record and come fairly close only to have their finger cramp up and have it in a splint for 3 weeks while they whine to their friend about all they can do now is type at 15 words per minute on their phone where as before they were doing 50 words per minute. It is people like this that really chew on my curtains, if you know what I mean. People with cell phones are the thriving race in this community at this time and anyone without a cellphone I considered unclean. Therefore they must be run out of town to live with the wolves. And as fun as that would be it can't be like that. Though cellphones are a convenient little gadget people have taken it a little too far. Camera-phones, phones with keyboards, radioactive phones, Swiss phones (they don't work). I respect the iPhone for trying mainly because I like Mac but more importantly it is all of those things I previously mentioned just by having a touch screen. It is much easier to use than having 23 and a half different ways to flip your phone so it can do different things. Now, I love technology and can figure out how something works just by looking at it but it is a overwhelming when a phone is a phone, a calculator, a computer, a word processor, mapquest.com, youtube.com, and a Lamborghini Diablo all in one. If the phone companies want to impress me I want a phone that can be a communist ruler for Cuba. Only then will I be happy. One last thing, stop putting texting acronyms into everyday speech. Things like "lol", "lmao", and "omg" need to stop. Now.
