Txtaholics Anonymous.

I have no problem admitting my phone is my lifeline. Especially today with everything smart phones can do, I rely pretty heavily on it. Ask yourself how many phone numbers do you have memorized? Back as a kid I knew all my friends, and now I think I just know my parents. If I was stranded somewhere without my phone it could get ugly, especially since my parents barely know how to pick up their phone. When Jay and I got into a car accident after checking to see if we were both ok my next question was where my phone was, but come on I just got the iPhone so how was this not a good time to start up some Angry Birds.

Best, and maybe also the worst thing to come from cell and smart phones is texting. Jay answered his dad’s question about why someone would ever text, and not just call. Jay then showed his old man that he could wish fifteen people happy Thanksgiving in an instant. It’s pretty great just sending a text to a friend for a quick “hey” or joke. However, how many of you have had texts backfire on you in dating situations because the entire damn context was lost? Yup count me in. I also notice while people text they are usually a little bit more liberal with flirting, and actions along those lines when you’re safe behind that little phone screen.

Social media is also a huge part of our daily lives now. Take Facebook for example. Do you know how hard it was to actually stalk girls in real life? I mean it gets pretty cold up here in the Inland Northwest. Now they are all just a button click away! That’s what my friends tell me anyway. Seriously though Facebook is a great tool for business’ and friends to share, and stay connected. I just didn’t know how emo everyone was, but I guess if it helps people vent more power to them. I may just use this as my COMMENT to help them out

Anyway, check out the comic link below, and thanks for visiting the site again. Now I have to go update my Facebook status that I just sneezed. Have a good weekend everybody!
