Big Wide World

good god, i can't stop being one of those people on the streets and in the GO that are doing the crazy crackberry-ing (now i'm making up words, i know, but if rob can do it, so can i).

but i'm hooked on texting. i can't stop myself. and seriously, i love you all, i do, but then there are others that i have to talk to and don't want to (its none of you reading this, i assure you). so the perfect solution, is a text. its like voice messages. you know - you have to call someone, but you don't Really want to talk to them. so what do you do. you wait until after hours (thank god for working late sometimes), and you call them when you know that they won't be there and you can just leave them a nice short little message that covers everything. but, with texting, the added bonus is that the person will never pick up. cause, lets face it, calling late is a good plan, but you don't really know that that person isn't there, and you could be calling when they are still in the office. and when you call, you're ready to speak into a machine, and they pick up the phone, and now you're stuck. you panic, and for a split second, you consider hanging up the phone. i know you've all done it. hell, i've done it with friends and family, not just client. but i digress.

so, the beauty that is text messaging is countless (well, not countless cause really, i've pretty much named all the reasons except one, and that's texting to friends that live far away.) which reminds me. if you who is reading this, is a friend of mine (the actual kind not the web kind) and i don't have your cell phone number, and you live in 2006 and therefore have a cell phone, email me your damn numbers. i tried to send a few of you text messages lately, and i've discovered that you gave me your home phone #.

see, i sound like a crack addict now. (plus, reading this back to myself, i realize its been a long day at work b/c i have butchered the english language in almost the entirety of this post. i can now write a killer legal letter, but simple language now overwhelms me).
