Every once in a while something gets me going... and I write about it. It's very seldom though.
Living electronically; vicariously through your goddamn Sidekick…
As part of my sanity method (I get stir crazy and need “air”) I’m a bouncer; well, part time… at a sports-bar. Of course, with the job come the delightful memories of all the dumb drunk ******* puking in trashcans, screwing in the parking lot, walking out on tabs, and whatever else these folks do. While I sit here and toss them in front of the bus, I admit to sometimes being one of them… but that’s another story.
In this particular event I paid special attention to how ******* dependant our culture is, or has become, on technology. What was once the need to feel socially accepted has turned into the need to be “connected”. No longer do people give a rats *** how many numbers they can get at a bar, how many girls they can finger in the lounge, or how many free drinks they can score; they want to have the satisfaction of having a little electro-gadget buzzing off every 2 seconds....
If you can handle my foul mouth and shitty attitude... http://www.mindcork.blogspot.com/

You'll be happy to know that every night I work we have a contest for phone numbers. And we like to make bets a lot. But such is the life of a bartender, there are still some out there that are connected to the world. (And they're a lot easier to get into bed!!)

I've been guilty of texting uncontrollably before too. Its a bad habit.
I occasionally get nuts on the texts... but it's not often. It's usually to one of my addict brothers, or some silly chick that wants to tell me how bad she wants to suck it.
I sure hope I don't appear as completely involved in my phone as these girls do though... WOW.
