If You Asked Me...
If you asked me what I think about cell phones, like every other person raised during the technology era, I would say I LOVE them. I could play angry birds in church (I'm praying that the birds will become happy), I could search for taco bell on Google maps (VOLCANO TACO NOM NOM) or run my own bakery (well virtual bakery for now). But everything in moderation. I mean angry birds in church may be pushing it but 

  • Texting while pushing a stroller...while crossing the street...the street is Queens blvd...during RUSH HOUR
  • Or texting while driving...doing 90mph...past a cop...on the Jackie Robinson...in the RAIN
Come on, whose "lol" is worth your life...
or more importantly, MINE?


I admit I feel like a failure if I arrive and school, find a great parking spot (right on Melbourne...or Reeves) and realize I left my phone at home. But It's gone way to far.
I especially hate going to a party and seeing everyone on their phone. 

  • If the party is so jankin, why are you on twitter/facebook? 


I know if I'm at a party, my phone is inactive between the hours of 10pm and 4am. I'm worrying about who's buying my next drink, not how many of my facebook friends will like my "This party is live" status. It has been a proven fact that if I'm busy, you may as well file a missing persons report for me because this sister is MIA.


I think phones, mp3s, and social networking sites have taken away our ability to really interact with people. Its easy to be cool from behind your keyboard (unless you typw type wirg with alot a lot of erru erraa arrows errors, because no one thinks that's cool)
So ask yourself:

  • Could you make friends with someone sitting next to you on the bus/train?
  • Could you go an hour without facebook, twitter, mypace, and your phone?
  • What about a day?
  • A week
I'm not saying technology is bad (because Lord knows I love it) but try not to let it consume your life or define who you are. So what if you can't get more than 22 followers on twitter (Me) does that mean you don't have an amazing personality? 

BTW: If you text in my car, you better prepare to tuck and roll.
