Okay people, what is up! Why is everyone suddenly absolutely addicted to texting? Do we really feel that accomplished when we hear the little ring that sounds differently than the regular ring and suddenly you know someone has left you a little clever note on your phone? But why is it that we have become so comfortable with this form of communication that we feel it necessary to use it as our sole means of expressing ourselves? And don't even get me started on the whole dating vs texting thing! I don't know about you ladies but we all better start burning our bras or something because I remember a day when being asked out on a date consisted of a phone call and at least a days notice and NOT a "hey, meet 2nite 4 a drkdrk?"
But don't get me wrong, technology is a good thing to a certain extent but don't you think this whole texting thing has gotten a little outta hand?? Most interestingly it seems it's become sort of a scapegoat for people, for those maybe who are not really endowed in the "social networking" department? It's a lot easier to text somebody than to actually build up a sweat to call them and have to deal with the anxiety of guessing what they're response might be. But why have we let ourselves get to this point ladies and gents? And yes I say ladies cause we do it too! I say, next time you go to text someone immediately put the phone down and walk away. Then think about what you were initially going to text and quickly figure out how to put those thoughts and feelings into spoken word and then just do it. Yeeesss do it, pick up the phone exercise your thumb and make the call! Who knows, maybe you'll get a yes on the other end and hey if you don't at least you showed some cohones and tried!
And please...>>>>>>
