I'm pretty sure I'm going to butcher this.
By that I mean I'm not quite sure what I'm going to say about that. Lol if you've read any of my blogs it's pretty apparent that I'm going to have plenty to say about it.
At what point in our lives did we assume that not speaking to people anymore was the proper thing to do?? I kind of like talking to people. It has been said sometimes I talk at people. Getting a word in edgewise with me sometimes can be daunting task, like trying to fight a lion with a broomstick. You usually become shish kabob.
That last sentence kind of makes me hungry. Back to the task at hand.
What we do now is text, using the primitive form of language which we have developed over time. And to have slaughtered it by making it printed word. Don't get me wrong English language is screwed up enough as it is. For example I have a pair I ate a pear, does this wine pare well with this food.
Need I say anymore. I know now you're thinking in your head those words that sound the same and have nine different meanings. Imagine how confusing that is to someone who just came to this country and has to learn this ridiculous language. You just see the look on their face of puzzlement and amazement and what the fuckness. But I digress. I hate saying that.
And I'm as guilty of it as anyone else. But I use voice to text. And that can be quite a challenge, I think my phone sometimes thinks it knows what I want to say and changes the words to suit its own meaning. I've had a long discussion with my phone about this I even texted my phone and told it to stop fucking up my words.
But that hasn't changed the damn thing I have to go back and edit everything. Cuz I can't speak like a robot. See there's another abbreviation." Message."
In the good old days you were sitting around the house and the phone rang and you got excited. And someone else grabbed it and you said is it for me?? And most of the time it wasn't, it was Aunt Betty calling your mother about a bundt cake recipe or something ridiculous. In those days you didn't have telemarketers that called you up and tried to sell you magic beans to grow your hair or telling you that the IRS is coming to get you because you owe them money and we can save you by just sending us a check you dumb son of a bitch.
I used to love the sound of the phone ringing it's actually my ringtone. Just like that sound. Technology brought us far far from what we used to be, and what we knew. But it was that Friday afternoon when you grab the phone and call your friends and find out what's going on that night. Because back in the day there was no way to get a hold of anybody except by telephone. You couldn't send smoke signals we didn't have carrier pigeons. And some of you are going carrier pigeons what the hell are they?? Google it.
Once you were out the door the freedom bell rang. No one could find you. They won't even know where to begin to look. You almost became invisible at that point. Now everyone knows when you take a shit. Cuz they can pinpoint you on some GPS spot that says bathroom. And what's the fascination with posting every actual facet of your life on social media. Now I post things about something I'm doing from time to time or something I've cooked. Yes I've fallen into that trap. But some people put every damn thing they do on there. I'm leaving my house to go to work! I'm going to the store to grab green beans for more casserole. Look my dog took its first shit. My baby just spoke.
Frankly Scarlett I don't give a damn. Famous line from a very famous movie. Don't know it? Google it.
Now Google, Google's my best friend. It does everything I ask it to do, it doesn't argue with me not often. And I can pick the voice I hear when it speaks to me. On the dark web they have voices that you can listen to that sound like Catholic priests. Lol. There that goes again. Yes I'm a recovering Catholic. Don't get me started on that because you'll be reading this for the rest of the day and the turkey will burn in the oven. Anyway.
So in closing I'll say, take your phone which we all know is in your hand. Basically because you're reading this on your phone. Go through your contacts and somebody you haven't spoke to in a while why don't you give them a call. Don't text him happy Thanksgiving wish you were here I miss you call him up and tell him. Nothing like hearing someone's voice because you get inflection you get meaning and you can tell if they're happy to hear from you. If they don't answer leave them a long-winded message The longest stupidest thing could possibly leave is a voicemail. At the very end of it say I left this on purpose cuz you didn't answer your phone .
At the end of that voicemail let them know that you expect them to call you back and if they don't you're going to really know that they didn't listen to the voicemail. Then text him and say " did you get those numbers yesterday for the lottery?? I can't believe they came out I won $50,000. I hope you listen to my entire message and got those three lottery numbers.
Now that's fucking with people on a whole new level. Whatever you do in life just have fun! Tomorrow is coming and there's nothing you can do about it. Don't sweat the small things life's very short.lol
Dam abbreviations.
