A Bit About Me

My photo
Along with my daily duties as founder and head writer of HumorMeOnline.com, in 2003, I took the Grand Prize in the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest (also known as the "It Was a Dark and Stormy Night" competition). I've also been a contributor to "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" and the web's "The Late Show with David Letterman". I also occupy my time writing three blogs, "Blogged Down at the Moment", "Brit Word of the Day" and "Production Numbers"...and my off-time is spent contemplating in an "on again/off again" fashion...my feable attempts at writing any one of a dozen books. I would love to write professionally one day...and by that I mean "actually get a paycheck".

Texting


I hate texting.

I hate everything about it.

I hate the abbreviations people use.

I hate the time it takes me to reply to a text.

I hate the noise my phone makes when I receive a text.

I hate the people walking around seemingly unaware of anything going on except the phone in their hands.

I hate sitting in doctors' offices and watching all the people texting back and forth in their little bubbles never looking up.

I hate the fact that I got called two times today from a "text to land line" comedy club in California like I'm going to actually go all the way there to catch an act...seeing that I live in ALABAMA!

I hate all those people driving around texting, putting me and everyone else in danger because they feel compelled to read - and text back as soon as humanly possible...because heaven knows keying in a reply is worth more than anyone's life.

Most of all, I hate the fact I am guilty of actually doing that last one.


Stop Texts - Stop Wrecks


(This is Day 7 of Nicky and Mike's "30 Minus 2 Days of Writing" non-contest contest over at "We Work For Cheese". Today's prompt was "Texting". Please check out the other blogs over there...but ignore all the ones on the list which were posted before mine...and after. Yes...do that. ;) That would be a good thing to do.)
