LOL... it's not what you think but...

Technology has made us too accessible lately. If you can't write me, call em, page me, 2way me, chirp me, text me then you must be standing right next to me. See to me, this is new age stalking and it's scary; Some chain mail, if I don't send it to 10 friends I won't find my true love type shit.

Now you see, I am so sick of hearing from people. We've become addicted to these wireless connections that these devices are replacing the physical.


I mean what happened to ok give me the time and place and I'll come see you. Okay now give me your name your e-mail and I'm gonna do a google search for you. And I'm confused how we accept cell phone monthly plans, overages and activation fees.

And then have the audacity to be mad our speech ain't free and I mean it's good to keep in touch but I could do that from a distance, for instance, I will call you when I get home after 9 so I won't waste my daytime minutes.


Yeah to a point, I do it too but sometimes you gotta say fuck my space, cause I need my space and tell facebook I want my face back - See we all perpetuate this, and whether you realize it or not, you are helping the government cause we say fuck the patriot act, but we do their job for them. Cuz every time we fill out a profile, an about me box, or a questionnaire, we inform them, we're getting too close for comfort and it's only getting worse.

Next we'll be posting obituaries on bulletins downloading corpses, and emailing somebody just to get a hearse. We are giving people reasons to stalk, spy and be nosey. But we don't care as long as your website allows pictures and blogs with comment posting.


We are obsessed with people getting to know us, assuming that they will keep it at a distance. Shit I have to admit it, I don't know 1/2 the 524 people on my friends list and this is our problem. We can't deal with the face to face, so we let technology replace the space that people are supposed to fill.

Lets face it, we are internally afraid of what's real and we've forgotten that physical contact is more important than our number of contacts so we settle for convenience. Forgetting that physical contact is more important than our number of contacts so we let public access get excess, even if it's at our privacy's expense.

Missed me? I missed you guys. I'm back. Again. Now, what's been up family?
